<DocScrutinizer05> HAH!!!
<DocScrutinizer05> my system time stalled 1 s
<DocScrutinizer05> exactly like it's supposed to be
<Oksana> Just asking because of http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=94212
<DocScrutinizer05> differences between N900, BB-xM and Neo900 are marginal on this level
<DocScrutinizer05> and Pandora and GTA04
<Oksana> and Pyra ? ;-)
<DocScrutinizer05> Pyra is OMAP5
<DocScrutinizer05> basically a completely different hw platform
<Oksana> Okay... /Wondering why I haven't heard of OpenBSD running on N900.../
<DocScrutinizer05> it's even unclear if it's binary compatible
<DocScrutinizer05> unclear to me
<DocScrutinizer05> (not heard of) no idea

<DocScrutinizer05> omap3 is cortex-A8, omap5 is dual A15?
<DocScrutinizer05> (not heard of BSD) prolly since it lacks drivers for "special peripherals", particularly for cmt
<DocScrutinizer05> mind you, BB-xM doesn't have modem
<DocScrutinizer05> and maybe nobody bothered to port e.g. phonet yet
<DocScrutinizer05> err, ofono
<DocScrutinizer05> luckily Neo900 doesn't need any such kinky drivers for modem
* DocScrutinizer05 idly wonders why win7 box auto-wokeup a ~45min ago
<Oksana> Okay, so how many drivers would Neo900 lack if somebody took a "simple" OpenBSD image for armv7, tried to add drivers from within Maemo 5, and tried to use it? Would it be able to handle keyboard, keyboard backlight, LCD, touchscreen, speakers?..
<DocScrutinizer05> I dunno what drivers exist in OpenBSD. You can't add maemo5 drivers
<Oksana> Because Maemo 5 operating system is too different from OpenBSD to just re-use the drivers?
<DocScrutinizer05> for speakers/audio you probably need a ALSA port
<DocScrutinizer05> OpenBSD is not linux
<DocScrutinizer05> I don't know much about BSD
<DocScrutinizer05> I however gather that the kernel driver modules have different structure/API/generic-rules how to build them
<DocScrutinizer05> just like you can't simply recompile a windows program for linux
<Oksana> Okay. Unix-not-Linux. For OpenBSD BeagleBoard xM, supported on-board devices: standard serial port (com), watchdog controller (omdog), GPIO controller (omgpio). Ookay... Thank you.
<DocScrutinizer05> (unless maybe it's using Qt on both platforms, and even then)
<DocScrutinizer05> I guess there must be more supported on-board devices than those three in OpenBSD for BB-xM
<DocScrutinizer05> N900 is using a pretty standard (for omap3) way to poll the kbd matrix, so I'd bet there must be a driver for that in OpenBSD
<DocScrutinizer05> for example
<Oksana> ARM-based appliances [nothing yet] http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq12.html#armish
<DocScrutinizer05> ???
<DocScrutinizer05> didn't you say there was a OpenBSD for BB-xM?
<DocScrutinizer05> >><Oksana> OpenBSD lists BeagleBoard xM as supported platform<<
<Oksana> Yes: http://www.openbsd.org/armv7.html But: Many pre-built packages for each architecture: arm: 0
<DocScrutinizer05> BB-xM *is* ARM based. Dunno if it's an "appliance" though
<Oksana> There are generally still a fair number of things to do on each of these boards, however OpenBSD is generally considered to be usable on them. ^
<DocScrutinizer05> well, no BSD experience here. I can't comment

<pigeons> i just pretend this channel is #devuan or something
<Oksana> hey, #devuan has more users! Or is it too quiet?
<pigeons> i have a hard enough time managingthe windows for the channels i'm in
<Oksana> Number of channels is close to 50, for me, at the moment. Not easy to manage, but I cope with all the tabs (Chatzilla)
<Oksana> Yes, the NTP servers are important. Cannot mobile devices use GPS satellites for time-syncing, or something? It doesn't have to be done frequently, right?
<Oksana> For more frequent time-checking, cellular towers may be helpful. As well as user-set (through whatever GUI-or-CLI user prefers) NTP server (if you are connecting to Internet regularly enough for that to be useful)
<Oksana> How is it going with sourcing of housings from Nokia N900?
