| videorechner | hi, I am looking for a arm cortex a9 board but there seems to be none, that doesnt cost a fortune or isnt available, but today, I found this one: http://www.kmckk.co.jp/eng/kzmca9/index.html does someone know more about that? | 22:15 |
|---|---|---|
| DanaG | hmm, is beagleboard an a9? | 22:15 |
| DanaG | oh, I see... | 22:18 |
| DanaG | that's multi-core. | 22:18 |
| videorechner | beagle is omap 3xxx | 22:18 |
| videorechner | cortex a8 | 22:18 |
| DanaG | ah. | 22:19 |
| prpplague | DanaG: omap4 is cortex-a9 dual core | 22:22 |
| DanaG | Is that what the beagle-XM will have? | 22:22 |
| prpplague | no | 22:22 |
| prpplague | DanaG: detail info on the new features of the xm - http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/6604a0debf003c8a | 22:23 |
| DanaG | I do find it a bit of a bummer that they didn't expose the USB+LAN chip's 15 GPIOs. | 22:24 |
| prpplague | DanaG: why? | 22:24 |
| videorechner | I heard arm cpus are missing a smp unit, what does that mean in consequence? | 22:24 |
| DanaG | It would be nifty to be able to use an expansion board and still have a bunch of gpios. | 22:24 |
| prpplague | DanaG: but you have a bunch of gpios already | 22:26 |
| DanaG | Muxed with other stuff, though. | 22:26 |
| prpplague | videorechner: the cores act independently in many way | 22:27 |
| prpplague | DanaG: can you give me an example of a case condition? | 22:27 |
| DanaG | I was more just theorizing, actually. | 22:27 |
| DanaG | Right now I don't use GPIOs at all, anyway/ =รพ | 22:27 |
| videorechner | prpplague but ubuntu can handle them like any other dual core? | 22:28 |
| DanaG | hmm, what boards actually do have the dual-core ARM? | 22:28 |
| prpplague | DanaG: it would be much much easier for you to use a i2c gpio expander than try to use the gpios on the lan9514 | 22:28 |
| DanaG | Looks like XM will still be single-core. | 22:28 |
| prpplague | videorechner: i do not know currenty | 22:28 |
| prpplague | DanaG: correct | 22:29 |
| DanaG | I'm interested in the Marvell 1.2GHz ARM stuff, also. | 22:29 |
| XorA|gone | http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/02/17/texas-instruments-omap4-blaze-twin-screens-android-and-a-projector/ | 22:30 |
| XorA|gone | thats dual core | 22:30 |
| XorA|gone | and a very sweet bit of kit | 22:30 |
| prpplague | XorA|gone: toooooooo bulky, hehe | 22:31 |
| DanaG | heh, I was pondering replacing the sucky samsung netbook with a better HP one (5102) or that Onkyo DX dual-1366x768 thingy... then I tried an SSD and realized that'd be more useful. | 22:31 |
| XorA|gone | prpplague: well your the board dude, shrink it to the size of my Touch HD2 :-D | 22:32 |
| prpplague | XorA|gone: hehe | 22:32 |
| comradekingu | Who had sufficient lack of decency enough to make a bezel for that abomination. | 22:33 |
| comradekingu | ??? | 22:33 |
| comradekingu | It goes without saying you can make cases for stuff. What idea are they pitching, "ready for market"? "Dual vertical span with separation in between on a phone is a good idea"? | 22:35 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: for which item are you refering? | 22:36 |
| comradekingu | http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/02/17/texas-instruments-omap4-blaze-twin-screens-android-and-a-projector/0 | 22:36 |
| comradekingu | http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/02/17/texas-instruments-omap4-blaze-twin-screens-android-and-a-projector/ | 22:36 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: ahh right, there were very specific reasons for the size and shape | 22:36 |
| comradekingu | prpplague: Im guessing the gold trim has its reasons too, but come on... | 22:37 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: i think that was just for show, all the ones i've seen are all black | 22:38 |
| comradekingu | prpplague: Actually it was the colour that made me want to keep my eyes closed. | 22:39 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: if you could get your ultimate OMAP4 board what would be? | 22:40 |
| comradekingu | Pandora? | 22:41 |
| comradekingu | no, thats OMAP3 | 22:41 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: i mean feature wise, is a case really that important ? | 22:42 |
| comradekingu | http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Wonderswan_color-JD.jpg | 22:43 |
| comradekingu | Feature wise id like displayport, other than that just the usual stuff | 22:45 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: what type? | 22:46 |
| DanaG | My ultimate ARM device of any sort: take HP Mini 5102, stick a 1.2GHz ARM in it, and have open graphics (or at least closed graphics with build scripts that don't suck). | 22:47 |
| DanaG | "suck" being "tries to 'make clean' on a target workdir that doesn't exist". | 22:47 |
| prpplague | DanaG: hehe, trustme i know all too well | 22:47 |
| prpplague | common them here is having a case | 22:47 |
| comradekingu | prpplague: From what i remember the only useful feature of DP 1.2 was daisy-chaining displays | 22:47 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: hdmi? | 22:48 |
| DanaG | The PowerVR stuff makes NV installer look "wonderful", in comparison. | 22:48 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: dvi-i ? | 22:48 |
| comradekingu | prpplague: Rather save the cash for something cool | 22:50 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: ?? | 22:50 |
| comradekingu | Ultimate has to be unencumbered by lousy standards imo | 22:50 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: which standard is lousy? | 22:51 |
| comradekingu | hdmi | 22:51 |
| prpplague | comradekingu: interesting | 22:51 |
| comradekingu | Someone over at the hdmi consortium envisioned i would want to buy a 250$ soundcard to send undecoded audio to a reciever, a task which can only be done by one special release of a proprietary app on a proprietary system. | 22:53 |
| comradekingu | They can keep all their 8CH audio for all i care, i wont support it. | 22:54 |
| DanaG | I'd rather just have a good sound card in the PC. | 22:54 |
| DanaG | And a decent set of speakers (my Logitech Z-5300 are decent, once you turn the sub on its side so the port sits against carpet). | 22:55 |
| ogra__ | plars, http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/linux-image-2.6.33-500-omap_2.6.33-500.4_armel.deb that has the USB patch from the bug, please test and comment on the bug | 23:47 |
