wolfspraul: I think this usb cable is not good for milkymist one
<xiangfu>
I only remove the 'Video-in Side' keeps all other. and screw the top.
<wolfspraul>
xiangfu: yes I know
<wolfspraul>
I think for real developers who always, for months, want access to jtag, they will all do that
<wolfspraul>
but then there are people who need jtag only once every few months, maybe for a major update. At least until we have the GUI update done really well.
<wolfspraul>
and for those it is easier to just take off the top
<wolfspraul>
then reflash, then put the top back on
<xiangfu>
oh. yes. that make sense.
<wolfspraul>
but if you constantly want jtag, you will instead take the side element out, and put the top back on
<wolfspraul>
then you will need a normal USB cable
<wolfspraul>
getting the side element out is quite hard, you have to remove the screws of the video-in connector, and maybe also the screws on the bottom so that the side part is loose enough to be lifted
<wolfspraul>
let's see how all this goes.
<wolfspraul>
:-)
<wolfspraul>
xiangfu: but I totally agree with your comment.
<wolfspraul>
I will also leave the side open.
<wolfspraul>
some people may also add an extra hole on the side
<xiangfu>
I am think screw a hole on my 'video-in' side element :)
<wolfspraul>
yes :-)
<kristianpaul>
just make a hole for the jtag cable,of course using proper tools
<kristianpaul>
s/make/made
<wolfspraul>
the upward pointing USB cable has limited value, for sure
<wolfspraul>
and the limited value may even go lower in a few months as we improve everything
<wolfspraul>
so we may drop it again at some point. maybe we even drop the entire jtag-serial board at some point. Don't know.
<wolfspraul>
now we need these things, to make the starting point easier, for a lot of people in different use cases.
<wolfspraul>
I doubt the news have a big impact, but we need to keep the routine and keep pushing for a wider audience...
<wolfspraul>
oops, wrong channel :-)
<xiangfu>
kristianpaul: don't have that tools for now :)
<lekernel>
wolfspraul: what's wrong with the current gui update?
<lekernel>
"At least until we have the GUI update done really well."
<lekernel>
xiangfu: why do you need "[PATCH 1/3] delete input callbacks from last"?
<xiangfu>
hmm.. I found the main.c and guirender.c both run "input_add_callback(mtk_input);" and guirender.c run "input_delete_callback(mtk_input);" every time it delete . it delete the mtk_input in main.c
<xiangfu>
lekernel: sorry. maybe I man wrong. just ignore that patch.
<xiangfu>
lekernel: I should look into more detail.
<xiangfu>
s/man/am
<xiangfu>
just ignore that patch.
<lekernel>
xiangfu: what guirender does is disconnect MTK from the events when rendering
<lekernel>
so MTK does not draw stuff to the framebuffer anymore
<lekernel>
otherwise you'd see flickering buttons, mouse cursor etc. when touching the mouse during rendering :)
<lekernel>
it's a bit hacky, but it works
<xiangfu>
lekernel: thanks for the info.
<xiangfu>
some question. there is a "stop_callback" in guirender.c
<xiangfu>
if there any reason the the stop_callback have to run inside  guirender.c when the guirender() success execute
<xiangfu>
the rename the reboot.c to shortcuts.c. and add the "CTRL + F12" to that file.
<lekernel>
yeah you can move it to reboot.c
<lekernel>
so you have only one event hook
<lekernel>
the stop_callback in guirender.c has nothing to do with the event hooks
<xiangfu>
lekernel: ok.
<xiangfu>
lekernel: I think I will try to focus on mkyaffs2image next few days.
<xiangfu>
(btw I test "creating a sub-folder on the flash and then uploading a file via FTP",test 24KB file and 3MB file. 24kb file works fine. 3MB file have problem. the m1 just freeze)
<xiangfu>
back online later. will read log :)
<wolfspraul>
lekernel: maybe it is evolving quicker than I can catch up. What's wrong is that I haven't tried yet :-)
<wolfspraul>
so I should rephrase "after Wolfgang realized how good the GUI update already is, ..."
<lekernel>
there aren't many issues with the GUI update. it's just select file and click flash.
<lekernel>
and I haven't found a single bug there so far
<wolfspraul>
ok, but I also want it to go to a website and download stuff
<lekernel>
otoh if you're using FTP to transfer the files you might run into the ethernet bugs
<wolfspraul>
milkymist.org/m1-updates/latest/...
<wolfspraul>
will xiangfu's fbgrab also work during rendering?
<wolfspraul>
will it stop rendering for x seconds?
<lekernel>
yes
<wolfspraul>
ok but it works, great
