wallentoshorne: the pgp web of trust was updated: https://pgp.cs.uu.nl/mk_path.cgi?FROM=00411886&TO=5e6627e4&PATHS=trust+paths02:16
shornewallento: cool, it puts me at 4 levels from Linus, I heard from peter z that it needs to be 3 for linus to accept patches.08:42
wallentoSo, can I just mail them?08:42
wallentowho is this Linus that he decides what gets into Linux!08:42
shorneI met one guy yesterday that will sign my key to put me at 3, but it ended up he forgot his pasword08:42
wallentoha08:43
shornehe forgot his pgp passphrase, so he was going to figure that out then sign08:43
shorneIll meet him again this friday.  If it doesnt work out I can try to send, and if he doesnt except we can fall back to you :)08:44
wallentoyes, that is good08:45
wallentodoes it help if I sign/ack/whatever the patches?08:45
shorneMeaning ill me the guy signing my key again, and then we can check with this linus guy08:45
shornewell, I guess al you really would need to do is create a signed tag (of my branch) probably best to host on openrisc/linux08:46
shorneI could push there, then you could tag and send the mail to the kernel08:47
shornelets give it a week though08:47
shornehmm, missed a few characters in those sentences, let me know if thats not clean08:48
shorne~~~08:49
shorneOn the other hand I am giving a presentation about openRISC, I wanted to cover some differnecs between openRISC and RISC-V08:49
shorneone is risc-v spec doesnt document an MMU08:50
shornealso, a lot is left up to implementation like reset vector08:50
shorneBut on the other hand, exception handling in risc is pretty flexible as there is a dynamic trap vector, and multiple trap status refisters08:51
shorneanyone have suggestion on any othe pros/cons vs openrisc?08:52
olofk_shorne: If you want to run 32-bit Linux, I think OpenRISC is a better idea. Not sure that works yet on RISC-V08:58
shornethats right as of now, but they have a set of patches for their rocket chip09:01
olofk_aha09:06
olofk_Thought they focused on the 64-bit stuff09:07
shorneoh, I didnt realize that09:15
shornehttps://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/master/arch/riscv/configs, right both their default configs are for 64 bit09:19
wallentoyeah, it is not a theoretical limitation, but a matter of focus09:34
wallentothe RISC-V stuff is a bit cleaner and better thought through09:34
wallentobut I like the OpenRISC community better09:34
wallento;)09:34

kc5tjaolofk_: yt?12:30
kc5tjaolofk_: Just wondering, you'd mentioned that you had bus size adapters for Wishbone.  Is there one you are aware of that would be license-compatible with an MPLv2 project (namely mine)?12:31
olofk_kc5tja: I do have, but I'm not quite sure they fully work. Happy to relicense them if you find them useful though. You can find the interconnect tools here https://github.com/olofk/wb_intercon17:38
kc5tjaUnfortunately, the resizer doesn't implement the state-machine I need.19:01
kc5tjaThanks though.19:01
