<kristianpaul>
hmm with cti we could do burst cyles
<kristianpaul>
ha!, just cti 001 :D
<mwalle>
lekernel: (yeah but for what simulator?) the first one is for gdb sim and the second one for qemu (evr bsp), but you cant remove it, because then the scripts used at OAR wont terminate anymore
<kristianpaul>
lekernel: are of aware if some of the current mm1 soc cores uses block transfer cycles?
<lekernel>
what is a block transfer cycle?
<kristianpaul>
well, thats explained in the wishbone B4 spec doc
<lekernel>
well probably not then
<lekernel>
checking
<lekernel>
ah, burst
<lekernel>
yeah the cpu does it
<lekernel>
it was called burst before, no?
<kristianpaul>
dunno, it not burst when using cti?
<kristianpaul>
s/it/is
<lekernel>
cti is used for bursts yes
<kristianpaul>
Btw why you decied to move the mimimac DMA to a wishbone slave connected to a dual ported ram?
<kristianpaul>
there is a know or posible bug around that? or.. just to keep simplicity?
<kristianpaul>
s/that/memory/ram system memory..
<lekernel>
there were those overflow problems... I don't really know if they were due to a lack of bus bandwidth or to a simple bug, but I had already spent too much time on ethernet
<lekernel>
it just had to work
<kristianpaul>
sure
<kristianpaul>
yeah, may be this issue just get noticed when working with data need to be verified, process that obviouslly is not needed with audio and video
<kristianpaul>
anyway..
<kristianpaul>
will not try DMA neither for now
<kristianpaul>
hmm, pipeline traffic mode is just in revision B4
<kristianpaul>
ha, is me or there is no wishbone switch implementation at opencores.. :o
<lekernel>
just don't bother with opencores... I never found anything worthy there
<lekernel>
opencores is for bachelor degree projects, period
<kristianpaul>
well, lets start a milkymist cores repository.., if a core got running on the mm1, and lekernel dont complaint about it is a good sign for that design ;)
<scrts>
are there any alternatives for opencores?
<scrts>
:)
<lekernel>
scrts: yeah, github
<lekernel>
it's better in every aspect, except it doesn't link HDL projects together
<scrts>
yeah... damn hard to find ANYTHING there :\
<lekernel>
otoh a repository of links to HDL projects hosted on github/bitbucket/whatever shouldn't be too hard to come with
<lekernel>
which opencores should just be, but instead of that they're being anal retentive about the files needing to be hosted on their server
<kristianpaul>
gitorious !
<scrts>
:))
<scrts>
at least that jpeg encoder on opencores works fine
<lekernel>
really? wow
<kristianpaul>
phew, 3 days reading from time to time the wishbone spec doc, after all is not so complicated how it works
<kristianpaul>
scrts: there is no zlib enconder to?
<kristianpaul>
booting mm1 became a bit slow this days ;)
<lekernel>
how many JPEGs have you encoded with it? sometimes, opencores stuff works on a case or two, but breaks randomly like shit in real use cases, and trying to fix the messy code is like opening a massive can of worms
<kristianpaul>
hahah
<kristianpaul>
thats nasty btw
<scrts>
well that wasn't mine project, but I've seen it realized and working fine
<scrts>
capturing rgb image from camera -> encode -> send via wireless lan
<lekernel>
if it works as fine as you say that's interesting
<kristianpaul>
scrts: and you are happy? isnt?, thats the goal ;-)
<lekernel>
we could use that for MJPEG streaming out of the MM1
<lekernel>
but I don't hold my breath ...
<scrts>
I suppose the cores uploaded by You guys to opencores are working too?
<mwalle>
lekernel: (yeah but for what simulator?) the first one is for gdb sim and the second one for qemu (evr bsp), but you cant remove it, because then the scripts used at OAR wont terminate anymore
<lekernel>
did you write this?
<mwalle>
the second one, yes
<lekernel>
hm, ok
<mwalle>
that was before mm days ;)
<lekernel>
anyone uses the EVR anyway? :-)
<mwalle>
the lm32 coverage analysis, yes
<mwalle>
but you could talk joel into using the mm bsp :)
<mwalle>
mh
<lekernel>
outdated uart driver api, outdated IRQ API, answer "just a toy project" from original developer when asked about those, etc.
<mwalle>
the problem is the couverture port for lm32.. i havent updated it for.. um.. 2 years?
<wpwrak>
lekernel: there are similar events, e.g., one in switzerland in august: http://bnz19.buenz.li/Â Â but probably a lot smaller
<mwalle>
revision 2011 was 200m away from my work ;)
<wpwrak>
mwalle: a cool, so you know of it. did you take an mm1 there ?
<mwalle>
i couldnt convince my gf to spent 60 eur for visiting the party
<wpwrak>
mwalle: dump her ! :)
<mwalle>
lol :b
<lekernel>
ah yeah revision... actually I talked to those guys already but they weren't very welcoming
<wpwrak>
lekernel: stupid of them :-( considering the one in .ch ? smaller may mean less of an attitude
<lekernel>
dunno if it has anything to do with size
<wpwrak>
lekernel: you can just ping them and see how they react. i would consider mm1 extremely relevant for this kind of event. it may just be too radical for some to comprehend ;-)
<wpwrak>
hmm, thinking of it, someone should bring a ben with vga out and show something funny ;-)
