| stekern | found another bug in the newlib "or1k-support" lib | 06:18 |
|---|---|---|
| stekern | https://github.com/openrisc/or1k-src/blob/or1k/newlib/libc/machine/or1k/or1k-support-asm.S#L449 | 06:18 |
| stekern | that's the wrong way around | 06:18 |
| stekern | the addi should be before the l.jr r9 | 06:19 |
| stekern | another thing I've been wondering about our newlib, it seems the putc function doesn't do: if ('\n') putc('\r');, should it? | 07:27 |
| stekern | rah: read your final version, I don't have any comments on it, I think it's a well written document which get the message through | 07:34 |
| stekern | I might not agree with all the angles in it, but that's perhaps more down to personal beliefs ;) | 07:35 |
| stekern | olofk: nap time for the baby now? ;) | 08:47 |
| olofk | stekern: You got an e-mail from github? :) | 08:51 |
| stekern | yup ;) | 08:53 |
| stekern | olofk: to solve my midi connection problem, I decided to go for a "midi interface core" | 08:55 |
| stekern | but I realised that the actual core could be made pretty generic | 08:56 |
| stekern | so I called it 'wb_fifo', and it contains of a wb slave port and a interrupt line | 08:56 |
| stekern | and inside it is a fifo which can be accessed at address 0 and a status reg at address 1 | 08:57 |
| stekern | (well, not really right now, but that's how I plan it) | 08:57 |
| stekern | does that sound like something that could be useful in other cases? | 08:58 |
| olofk | Yes it does | 09:10 |
| olofk | I started something similar, but with a wb master interface instead. This was for writing packet data to a memory map | 09:12 |
| olofk | But what you describe could be potentially used in a lot of places with different backends. A simple UART for example. Most of the time we don't require any more functionality than reading and writing bytes | 09:15 |
| olofk | oh.. right. MIDI was similar to UART already :) | 09:15 |
| olofk | Bad example :) | 09:15 |
| stekern | ok, good, then I'll finish it off and try to upstream it to orpsoc-cores | 09:15 |
| olofk | Great. I love these little glue logic cores | 09:15 |
| stekern | I've heard that the maintainer is a hard-ass though, so it'll be tough task ;) | 09:16 |
| olofk | Go ahead and commit your crap. I don't care :) | 09:16 |
| stekern | haha | 09:17 |
| stekern | you've got good motivational skills | 09:17 |
| olofk | Actually, you know what you're doing (probably more than me), so feel free to commit stuff. I don't want things to be held up too long only because I have limited time | 09:17 |
| stekern | ok, thanks | 09:19 |
| olofk | It's really annoying that I can't access my main computer during daytime over ssh. Wifi goes down about every 30 minutes, and requires me to restart it with rfkill or the keyboard | 09:19 |
| olofk | Hmm... maybe I'll do a little deamon that does that for me | 09:20 |
| stekern | I'll still ask for advice when I'm not 100% sure about my stuff though ;) | 09:20 |
| olofk | Sure. And I might be more picky about orpsoc than orpsoc-cores | 09:21 |
| stekern | wifi seems to be one of those things that never works reliably | 09:21 |
| stekern | right, and I don't think I'd be 100% sure of any changes I'd do to that anyway | 09:21 |
| olofk | True. I can't imagine the nightmare of running jack over wifi :) | 09:22 |
| olofk | Got to go now | 09:22 |
| stekern | yeah, me too, got a lamp that needs electricity connected | 09:22 |
| stekern | and a half-ready kitchen that needs finishing off... | 09:23 |
| rah | stekern: cool, thanks | 09:57 |
| stekern | rah, Powermaniac: since you've expressed a wish for a board with usb, ethernet and video out, I thought you might be interested in making your voices heard to this ml thread: https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists-archive/devel/2013-October/003463.html | 11:32 |
| stekern | the milkymist community is planning on trying to make another batch of M1 boards, if there are enough people interested | 11:32 |
| stekern | rah: you might be especially interested since the PCB design is open/free as well | 11:33 |
| Powermaniac | stekern: I shall definitely look into that thanks | 11:44 |
| Powermaniac | For now though I must disappear | 11:44 |
| stekern | hmm, wonder if writing a kernel driver for this mmio midi device was the right way to do it | 14:07 |
| stekern | might be better to just write a daemon that mmaps the wb_fifo and polls a midistream | 14:08 |
| stekern | well well, I can explore that later, I've already written the kernel driver ;) | 14:08 |
