Apr 05 08:11:49 <ka6sox-laptop> Hi beewoolie-away 
Apr 05 08:12:04 <beewoolie-away> ka6sox-laptop: hey man.
Apr 05 08:12:13 <beewoolie-away> It been kinda quiet around here.
Apr 05 08:12:20 <ka6sox-laptop> I have a question about APEX and NPE
Apr 05 08:12:26 <beewoolie-away> hit me
Apr 05 08:13:17 <ka6sox-laptop> with Apex can we get ethernet running now?
Apr 05 08:14:04 <beewoolie-away> Here's what I know.   I still have no working JTAG emulator.  Everything I know is from dyoung.
Apr 05 08:14:14 <ka6sox-laptop> okay
Apr 05 08:14:19 <ka6sox-laptop> do you need one?
Apr 05 08:14:22 <ka6sox-laptop> would it help?
Apr 05 08:14:25 <beewoolie-away> It appears that there is something in the init that redboot does that apex doesn't.
Apr 05 08:14:29 <beewoolie-away> Yeah, it would.
Apr 05 08:14:46 <ka6sox-laptop> you need one to program or to look at what is happening?
Apr 05 08:14:46 <beewoolie-away> I thought that prplague was going to send me one, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Apr 05 08:15:08 <beewoolie-away> Well, if I had a good cable, I'd be willing to flash APEX and do testing.
Apr 05 08:15:24 <beewoolie-away> APEX *does* run, but there may be some inits we need to do.
Apr 05 08:15:27 <ka6sox-laptop> okay let me see about the "spare" I have.
Apr 05 08:15:37 <beewoolie-away> I don't expect to use jtag for debug.
Apr 05 08:15:45 <ka6sox-laptop> I think that APEX is the key to FatSlug
Apr 05 08:15:46 <beewoolie-away> That would be helpful, thanks.
Apr 05 08:15:55 <beewoolie-away> Hmm.
Apr 05 08:15:59 <beewoolie-away> There is one other thin.
Apr 05 08:16:04 <ka6sox-laptop> k
Apr 05 08:16:11 <beewoolie-away> I have build the 1.5 NPE library to link it with APEX.
Apr 05 08:16:25 <beewoolie-away> It's absolutely HUGE and really difficult to build.
Apr 05 08:16:49 <beewoolie-away> If we need the NPE library, I'll be going back to 1.4 which will require some time.
Apr 05 08:16:59 <ka6sox-laptop> k
Apr 05 08:17:19 <beewoolie-away> At this point, it isn't clear to me why I'd need NPE for the boot loader.  However, it's the only (possibly) piece I can find
Apr 05 08:17:47 <beewoolie-away> dyoung was going to build the 1.4 library, but I think he's been distracted by other tasks.
Apr 05 08:17:58 <beewoolie-away> Have you looked at the latest APEX?
Apr 05 08:18:10 <ka6sox-laptop> no...I really should
Apr 05 08:18:40 <beewoolie-away> I added support for the kernel config stuff.  It makes it really easy to configure.
Apr 05 08:19:01 <beewoolie-away> FATslug should be a checkbox away.  :-)
Apr 05 08:20:29 <ka6sox-laptop> excelletn
Apr 05 08:20:33 <ka6sox-laptop> er excellent
Apr 05 08:20:54 <ka6sox-laptop> could you post up the addy for APEX on the openjtag.net wiki?
Apr 05 08:22:33 <beewoolie-away> addy?
Apr 05 08:22:42 <beewoolie-away> address?
Apr 05 08:23:48 <ka6sox-laptop> url for APEX stuff.
Apr 05 08:24:20 <beewoolie-away> Do you want it in articles?
Apr 05 08:24:27 <ka6sox-laptop> yes please
Apr 05 08:24:42 <beewoolie-away> k.
Apr 05 08:31:33 <beewoolie-away> ka6sox-laptop: I've got to go.  Do you have a postal address for me?
Apr 05 08:34:43 <ka6sox-laptop> email it to ka6sox@gmail.com
Apr 05 08:34:45 <ka6sox-laptop> rats
