seems a bit excessive. they look large. do these boards really need more than 2 high-current rails ? you always have some more odd voltages, but they tend to be low-current
<wpwrak>
even more than i thought :)
<larsc>
I don't think these boards are optimized for cost
<wpwrak>
so that's 4 rectangular modules with DC-DC converters and three smaller square modules, also DC-DC converters. .
<wpwrak>
amidst that, there could easily hide a few small LDOs
<wpwrak>
so a board with 7 high-current rails ?
<wpwrak>
larsc: yeah, but still :)
<Fallenou>
hum that's weird
<Fallenou>
I get no call or reference to __divdi3 if I do objdump -D libkern.o
<wpwrak>
the openmoko phones had about as many rail (some with the same voltage but kept separate). something like two chips took care of all that.
<Fallenou>
but I can see it in nm , as Undefined
<Fallenou>
and I can see it in relocations while doing objdump -D -x libkern.o
<larsc>
wpwrak: there is basically one 10A regulator for each supply input of the fpga
<wpwrak>
oh, it gets better. the rectangular modules have a DUAL regulator each. so, 11 high-current rails. (that reg is rated for 10 A peak) (UCD7242)
<Fallenou>
oh, ok, now I can see it at 174c indeed
<Fallenou>
but since it was "calli 0x174c" I could not grep for it
<Fallenou>
indeed there is a long long X; in rngtest() :/
<wpwrak>
larsc: yeah, someone should have told these engineers that the supplies don't need to be stable if sorted ;-)
<wpwrak>
correction: 10 rails, the big critter with the cap on top is just some bead/transformer
<larsc>
Fallenou: can't you just copy the function from libgcc?
<larsc>
wpwrak: we actually had power issues with some more low cost eval board.
<larsc>
when running a real operating system the system would crash under high load
<Fallenou>
I think I should just remove the exception on lm32, I guess those .c files add basic definitions for quad operations
* Fallenou
must have a twisted mind
<larsc>
yea, all other architectures in that list are 64bit
<Fallenou>
I should have smelt the trap
<Fallenou>
great, no more libgcc annoying problems :)
<Fallenou>
that's a good thing done!
<Fallenou>
crap now I must implement mutex_enter() and such
<wpwrak>
larsc: heh, the opposite extreme ;-)

hi
<wpwrak>
lekernel: DHL seem to be working hard on establishing a new record for slowness. as far as i can tell, the board isn't even in argentina yet :-(
* lekernel
had a nice week end
<lekernel>
wpwrak, it's not DHL - it's regular mail... DHL only takes documents
<lekernel>
(it said it was still in germany, though)
<wpwrak>
yeah. correoargentino.com.ar sometimes fails. but it tends to come back after a few hours. could also be that they're doing maintenance during the weekend.
<wpwrak>
what normally happens is that you get an entry when it arrives in the country and than another one when it goes to the post office. then it gets assigned a local number for transport inside argentina. so you can track it pretty much all the way, but the number changes in the middle.
<wpwrak>
and didn't DHL buy "regular mail" in germany ? of course, that doesn't make regular mail courier in germany, even if it says "DHL".
<larsc>
'regular mail' bought DHL couple of years back
<wpwrak>
oh, it's them who bought DHL ? interesting
<larsc>
yea, it's owned by Deutsche Post

tracking works again ... but it's still somewhere between .de and .ar
<kristianpaul>
what are you waiting btw?
<kristianpaul>
oh the HDMI exp?
<kristianpaul>
still waiting..
<wpwrak>
yup. when it arrives, i'll have a look at the I2C mystery.
<wpwrak>
sebastien sent it wednesday before easter. they said it'll arrive within six days. well, maybe they meant business days.
<kristianpaul>
DHL is usually quite fast on my experience
<wpwrak>
well, it's the postal service. not even sure now if it'll have the DHL brand on it.
<wpwrak>
but it's indeed a bit surprising that it would hardly move during the holidays. even to make out of the postal office in berlin took some 3-4 days.
<wpwrak>
the entry for the 3rd day says "Insert item into bag". the one for the 4th day "Send item abroad"
<wpwrak>
that was a week ago. since then, silence.
<wpwrak>
well, i haven't lost any parcel shipments yet. so i'm not worried this far.
<kristianpaul>
well a letter from the UK (cheap royal mail) took like a month a half to arrive here..
<kristianpaul>
me either just lost the patience hehe
<wpwrak>
heh :)
<wpwrak>
well, i once had a paper sent, i think it was by UPS, to the UK. believe it or not, it got held up at UK customs and they didn't notify anyone.
<wpwrak>
back then, conference papers still had to be submitted on paper. even to networking conferences :)
<wpwrak>
actually, i think there were two or three different papers in that envelope. of course, we missed the deadline that way. they still let us in, though, but i think we didn't make it into the printed proceedings.
<kristianpaul>
hmmm shame on UPS
<wpwrak>
yeah, earned them a place of honor on my blacklist :)
<wpwrak>
could of course also be that the people from the conference ignored/lost the notification
<wpwrak>
but then, most couriers start calling if something it stuck for too long. at least they did back then.
<kristianpaul>
hmm i have never been called
<wpwrak>
you probably don't let things sit around for weeks :)
