• [00:00:18] <mansour> The last time I checked with TI (1.5 years ago) they refused to sell me and said the products are for their strategic partners!
  • [00:00:39] <mansour> And now they are making this board for the open source community!
  • [00:01:15] <koen> sakoman_: octave 3.0.3 compiles :)
  • [00:01:22] <koen> NOTE: Checking Package: octave
  • [00:01:36] * koen hugs his quadcore
  • [00:01:50] <mansour> They have sold few (less than 5k) to a UK company for making an opensource portable console!
  • [00:03:23] <mansour> I'm wondering why they have done so! Were their "strategic partners" not interested in new OMAP or what?!
  • [00:04:22] <koen> your name used to be "nokia" to be able to buy omaps
  • [00:04:23] <denix> mansour: welcome to the new era!
  • [00:04:35] <mansour> :D
  • [00:04:47] <denix> mansour: lots of things changed in 1.5 years...
  • [00:05:01] <koen> denix: welcome to the club :)
  • [00:05:15] <denix> mansour: UK opensource portable console - you mean Pandora?
  • [00:05:25] <mansour> yep
  • [00:05:31] <denix> koen: thanks
  • [00:06:46] <mansour> I know how Pandora started. The guys had lots of trouble convincing TI to talk to them.
  • [00:07:14] <mansour> I think some "insiders" helped them then

  • [00:13:57] <mansour> denix: I think I need to do so
  • [00:14:56] <denix> mansour: and OMAP35x was officially announced less than a year ago - the OMAP family specifically "made" for broader market
  • [00:14:59] <mansour> I had a new product at that time. I went to TI first, but when they refused I used products from a Korean company.
  • [00:15:47] <koen> sakoman_: sed -i -e /MAN5\ =/d -e /MAN8\ =/d Makefile.am
  • [00:16:09] <mansour> I was not alone. May people tried to reach TI at that time but they refused to listen to them. Now, TI is running after them :)
  • [00:18:19] <denix> mansour: before OMAP35x, that technology was only available to "strategic partners" (read big cell phone manufacturers like Nokia)

  • [01:25:10] <geckosenator> do you think you could shine the pico projector directly into your eye with much reduced brightness?
  • [01:28:09] <denix> pico-goggles? :)
  • [01:28:54] <wbrown> (shudders)
  • [01:28:59] <wbrown> 10 lumens into your eyes?
  • [01:29:00] <wbrown> omg
  • [01:29:05] <wbrown> it buuuuuuuuuurns.
  • [01:29:29] <geckosenator> er
  • [01:29:33] <geckosenator> I would reduce the lumens
  • [01:30:00] <geckosenator> I would need to flip the image, but that can be in software
  • [01:31:02] <zalassi> does the pico projector focus at infinity?
  • [01:31:15] <geckosenator> another good point
  • [01:31:22] <geckosenator> I might need a lens
  • [01:31:23] <zalassi> it has to either focus at infinity
  • [01:31:25] <zalassi> or beyond
  • [01:31:32] <geckosenator> like a magnifying glass
  • [01:31:39] <geckosenator> it wouldn't focus beyond infinity
  • [01:31:46] <zalassi> no, you need a concave lens
  • [01:31:47] <geckosenator> well
  • [01:32:01] <zalassi> the rays for a single pixel are converging after a projector
  • [01:32:05] <geckosenator> yeah
  • [01:32:08] <geckosenator> right, concave
  • [01:32:30] <zalassi> so yes, unless you want to induce eye strain, you want rays for a single pixel to be parallel
  • [01:32:37] <geckosenator> yeah
  • [01:32:42] <geckosenator> so I would need a concave lens
  • [01:32:49] <geckosenator> that's fine
  • [01:33:10] <geckosenator> but I don't even know where I can buy a pico projector or read any specs on it

  • [01:45:47] <wbrown> 3M has one for sale, geckosenator
  • [01:46:45] <wbrown> They're in the $500 price range.
  • [01:46:53] <wbrown> So it's not the economical solution you're looking for.
  • [01:48:31] <geckosenator> hm
  • [01:48:36] <geckosenator> I just got paid $500
  • [01:48:44] <geckosenator> I can use those dollars :-P
  • [01:48:48] <geckosenator> but I need 2 one for each eye
  • [01:49:03] <geckosenator> unless I can use mirrors somehow
  • [01:49:23] <geckosenator> they are supposed to be like $300 though
  • [01:49:47] <wbrown> Depends on the model, resolution, lumens, battery, etc, I suppose.
  • [01:50:17] <geckosenator> yeah
  • [01:50:55] <geckosenator> I found video glasses for cheap at 640x480, but 800x600 cheapest I found was $800
  • [01:52:48] <wbrown> One problem I've had with these mirror models that use one LCD ...
  • [01:52:57] <wbrown> Is it doens't work for me, with glasses.
  • [01:54:04] <denix> btw, pico projector is HVGA
  • [01:54:24] <wbrown> yeah.
  • [01:54:37] <denix> its half-vga - 480x320
  • [01:57:11] <ds2> 640x480 DVI-D is what it wants as input
  • [01:57:40] <mru> I see a large discrepancy in pixel counts...
  • [01:58:00] <ds2> mru: in what way?
  • [01:58:18] <mru> 320<640
  • [01:58:32] <ds2> it doubles the pixels
  • [01:58:57] <mru> drops half of them more likely
  • [01:59:00] <wbrown> Halves, you mean.
  • [01:59:02] <wbrown> heh :)
  • [01:59:12] <ds2> it looks like it doubles them
  • [01:59:33] <mru> if you double something, you get more, not less than you started with
  • [01:59:37] <ds2> if it were to drop them, I'd expect drop outs on my slides; there are stuff there that is one pixel wide
  • [01:59:58] <mru> then it's probably doing some more clever downsampling
  • [02:00:06] <ds2> indeed
  • [02:00:34] <ds2> it is a lot nicer then that sub $200 thing from Tiger
  • [02:00:35] <denix> it can't simply drop every second pixel - it's 640->480, 480->320

  • [02:50:35] <geckosenator> I could look up and down to scroll I guess

  • [02:51:56] <ds2> ah
  • [02:52:06] <geckosenator> so it doesn't need a flat surface
  • [02:52:42] <ds2> and it emulates a mouse? i.e doesn't expose raw motion for gesture processing?
  • [02:52:47] <geckosenator> yeah
  • [02:52:49] <geckosenator> it does both
  • [02:52:54] <geckosenator> but I never did gestures really
  • [02:52:59] <geckosenator> I did sort of for scrolling
  • [02:53:29] <geckosenator> I found a HMD that is 800x600, but it costs a lot
  • [02:53:44] <ds2> they have them even higher rez but are speciality items
  • [02:54:16] <geckosenator> hmm
  • [02:54:24] <geckosenator> they cost more than $1000?

  • [02:54:38] <ds2> think so... like $5K
  • [02:54:41] <geckosenator> I wonder why, it has to be digital inside

  • [12:35:20] <tomba> the virtual width should be the same as width, except if somebody changes it
  • [12:36:11] <koen> tomba: is the evm 18 bit fix in your git already?
  • [12:36:21] <RobertK> I changed nothing but: real: 640x480 virtual: 819x960. Hmmm. I will reboot, just a second...
  • [12:37:46] <tomba> koen: no. I guess I could make the change, even if I'm not sure about it. but as you are probably the only EVM user for DSS2, well, then it fixes the problem for 100% of the users =)
  • [12:38:01] <koen> :)

  • [13:26:03] <RobertK> tomba: yes, you are right. It was at all my fault. I wanted a vres-screen twice as big as the real. 1280x960 are 4xreal res. My fault...

  • [18:18:02] <sakoman_> grumble, everytime I pull it takes a day to get productive again :-(
  • [18:18:28] <Crofton|irssi> you need to pull in a seperate build dir
  • [18:18:43] <Crofton|irssi> and only pull for real on days when it builds
  • [18:19:18] <sakoman_> I do pull into a test tree, but how does one know what day everything builds?

  • [18:47:15] <rangerpb> I'm interested in the beagle board. Would anyone humor me to help me understand processor performance? It refers to laptop-like performance. Is that sheer execution or is it referring to parallel processing? Whats the spin on that?

  • [21:51:10] <Keithamus> Hi, Im interested in the beagle board - but I wonder, is it too low spec to run a qt4 python application?
  • [21:51:57] <mru> that depends entirely on what the app does
  • [21:52:28] <Keithamus> nothing too intensive, mostly kde4 widgets with a splash of webkit
  • [21:52:36] <Keithamus> or rather, qt4 widgets
  • [21:52:45] <mru> memory could become an issue
  • [21:52:50] <mru> how much memory does the app use on a pc?
  • [21:53:08] <Keithamus> it doesnt exist yet - Im planning on building it
  • [21:53:22] <mru> current boards have 128MB ram
  • [21:53:37] <Keithamus> ah *scratches head* that would be a problem wouldnt it
  • [21:53:38] <mru> except 4 prototypes with 256MB
  • [21:54:08] <Keithamus> i heard some mumblings about a new version with a full usb port, perhaps thatll have 256mb ram?
  • [21:54:10] <mru> hopefully the 256MB version will make it to production
  • [21:54:30] <koen> qt4-x11 runs on the beagle
  • [21:54:40] <mru> there will probably be two versions of the board
  • [21:54:41] <koen> I ran the mythtv trunk on it
  • [21:54:49] <koen> which is using qt4-x11
  • [21:54:57] <Keithamus> wow, if mythtv runs on it then Im safe lol
  • [21:55:07] <mru> yeah, mythtv is very memory hungry
  • [21:55:16] <koen> I didn't say that mythtv runs well :)
  • [21:55:29] <Keithamus> im thinking of a till-pc
  • [21:55:29] <koen> I should test it again with the xv driver
  • [21:55:44] <Keithamus> epos, so nothing fancy
  • [21:55:53] <mru> most of what mythtv does, we do at work in 64MB
  • [21:56:29] <koen> I suspect you can go down to 32MB if you cpu is fast enough
  • [21:56:50] <mru> how does cpu speed relate to memory?
  • [21:57:00] <koen> less buffering needed :)
  • [21:57:07] <Crofton|irssi> mru: thats because you wrote everything in assembler :)
  • [21:57:29] <mru> there's hardly any assembler code except the required OS bits
  • [21:57:43] <mru> it needs to run on nearly a dozen CPU architectures

  • [21:59:15] <Ikarus> koen: it's not hard
  • [21:59:19] <Ikarus> most just aren't killer ones
  • [21:59:22] * Crofton|irssi found his first compiler bug in 1981 or so
  • [21:59:25] <koen> Ikarus: http://xkcd.com/303/
  • [21:59:28] <Crofton|irssi> we worked around it
  • [21:59:53] * Ikarus has a few bugs in gcc pending where it generates less optimal code then previous versions of gcc
  • [22:00:06] <koen> that's a regression
  • [22:00:16] <mru> gcc is full of regressions, especially 4.3
  • [22:00:21] <Ikarus> koen: actually not quite
  • [22:00:30] <koen> I was talking about "emitting armv5 isns when saying -mcpu=arm920t"
  • [22:00:36] <Ikarus> koen: it produces different less optimal code then even older version of gcc
  • [22:00:59] <koen> I keep meaning to try llvm as gcc backend
  • [22:01:52] <mru> reported results with llvm range from "disaster" to "beats gcc"
  • [22:02:14] <Ikarus> koen: urgh, good luck on getting any performance out of it with as much cache and a pipeline as deep as on most modern CPUs...
  • [22:02:32] <koen> Ikarus: as gcc backend, not as jit
  • [22:02:51] <Ikarus> koen: ah, k
  • [22:03:06] <Ikarus> because even as jit it works as a gcc backend essentially
  • [22:03:15] <Ikarus> or well, can work
  • [22:03:47] <koen> when running as gcc backend it behaves like gcc, but can do things like link time optimizations
  • [22:04:12] <koen> the only result is a faster binary, not a binary that depends on the llvm jit at runtime
  • [22:04:46] <mru> except when it results in a crashing binary
  • [22:05:12] <koen> although I suspect that switching to clang would be more fun that using llvm-gcc
  • [22:05:21] <koen> mru: I have gcc csl to do that for me :)
  • [22:06:01] <mru> speaking of which, has anyone tried out the latest csl version?
  • [22:06:28] <koen> I added it to OE some people with less restraint than me can try it
  • [22:06:34] <ldesnogu_> mru, was it fully stable for you?
  • [22:06:49] <mru> ffmpeg runs
  • [22:07:11] <ldesnogu_> even with vectorization?
  • [22:07:30] <mru> it doesn't do any vectorisation worth mentioning
  • [22:07:49] <mru> only the odd vldr/vstr
  • [22:07:55] <ldesnogu_> so no buggy vectorization either :)
  • [22:08:07] <ldesnogu_> I will give it a try then
  • [22:08:08] <mru> my old test passes
  • [22:08:10] <Crofton|irssi> no, we can do that slowly by hand
  • [22:08:19] <Crofton|irssi> with bear skins and stone knives
  • [22:08:23] <Crofton|irssi> like the old days
  • [22:08:25] <ldesnogu_> :)
  • [22:08:51] <mru> some code in ffmpeg is trivial to vectorise
  • [22:08:52] * ldesnogu_ imagines mru in his cave
  • [22:09:45] <ldesnogu_> does llvm support ARM now?
  • [22:09:57] <mru> like averaging 8xN blocks of bytes
  • [22:10:58] <koen> ldesnogu_: It has done for 2 years now
  • [22:11:16] <ldesnogu_> koen, yes I was thinking of the JIT, which doesn't support ARM
  • [22:11:19] <koen> ldesnogu_: indt wrote it in late 2005 or so
  • [22:12:00] <koen> ldesnogu_: I'll start caring for the JIT once I need it for mesa
  • [22:12:21] <koen> ldesnogu_: and that means imgtec is going to need a gallium3d driver
  • [22:12:22] <ldesnogu_> isn't gallium3d independent of LLVM?
  • [22:12:42] <koen> AIUI it can use mesa-llvm as a jit to optimize shaders and stuff
  • [22:12:59] <koen> integrate software fallbacks and such
  • [22:13:21] <ldesnogu_> I wonder if there are many sw fallbacks for OpenGL ES 2.0
  • [22:13:30] * valhalla (n=valhalla@81-174-21-31.dynamic.ngi.it) Quit ("Leaving")
  • [22:13:55] <ldesnogu_> and imgtec already does some heavy optims on their shaders it seems
  • [22:14:32] <koen> http://zrusin.blogspot.com/2007/11/gallium3d-llvm.html
  • [22:16:23] <ldesnogu_> koen, well 10x speedup versus sw rendering I guess
  • [22:16:59] <ldesnogu_> how that is applicable to hw that already fully supports OpenGL ES 2.0 remains to be seen
  • [22:17:06] <koen> I think they mean 10x speed over their original shader generation tool
  • [22:17:27] <koen> so they are pushing more optimal code into the gpu
  • [22:18:37] <ldesnogu_> hum that would mean they have an llvm back end for the gpu?
  • [22:18:54] <ldesnogu_> or you mean the host can push 10x more to the hw?
  • [22:19:22] <koen> their shader code pushed to the gpu sucks less
  • [22:19:48] <ldesnogu_> so that'd mean an LLVM back end for the gpu

  • [22:21:38] <RobotGuy> Maybe someday I will get my robot operational again.
  • [22:23:11] <geist> not much of a robotguy without a robot, eh?
  • [22:23:28] <mru> maybe he *is* a robot
  • [22:23:46] <mru> robots building robots! run for the hills!
  • [22:24:02] <geist> beagle would make a nice little robot brain
  • [22:24:11] <geist> guess usb host would be also quite nice for that too
  • [22:24:11] <RobotGuy> geist: Very true. Maybe I will do smaller robots for awhile, that don't require so much I/O and processing. I really want a good and fast Linux based board though.
  • [22:24:39] <RobotGuy> geist: Yes, I think it would. I'll have to look again at the differences between rev b and rev c.
