Jul 01 13:56:16 <ceene> how come there isn't a standard way on linux of doing DMA transfers to userspace?
Jul 01 13:57:18 <ceene> char *pos = dma_alloc(16384); dma_queue_transfer(pos); dma_wait(pos); or something like that
Jul 01 14:03:49 <bencoh> ceene: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23580242/using-dma-memory-transfer-in-user-space
Jul 01 14:04:44 <ceene> that's basically telling people "do not use dma" lol
Jul 01 14:05:49 <sicelo> wiki page for supl proxy - https://wiki.maemo.org/N900_GPS_Proxy
Jul 01 14:06:23 <ceene> there are a couple of kernel drivers that are intended for this, one even from xilinx which is the platform i'm using, so I'll try that... but they all look hackish, are not upstreamend and don't look like they will any time
Jul 01 14:09:36 <ceene> sicelo: it looks like that supl proxy shuts itself after one transaction
Jul 01 14:10:01 <ceene> if there a reason for that?
Jul 01 14:11:30 <ceene> https://github.com/tajuma/supl/blob/master/src/supl-proxy.c I see there's a while(1) loop, so supl-proxy dying is because of a bug?
Jul 01 14:11:54 <sixwheeledbeast> ICANN have lifted the price cap on .org, doesn't seem sensible...
Jul 01 14:14:57 <sicelo> ceene: my programming skills are zero, but is it perhaps due to :
Jul 01 14:15:02 <sicelo> if (pdu.pdu->message.present == UlpMessage_PR_msSUPLEND)  break;
Jul 01 14:15:31 <ceene> could be
Jul 01 14:15:51 <ceene> but also, it looks like just one supl transaction is enough to help gps?
Jul 01 14:16:31 <ceene> so maybe it doesn't really matter much, in which case simply an upstart file requesting supl-proxy to be restarted over and over again is enough to ease this
Jul 01 14:17:50 <sicelo> it might help for the supl-proxy side, yes. bencoh also intends to look at making it a proper daemon
Jul 01 14:18:07 <bencoh> sicelo: yay, thanks
Jul 01 14:18:43 <bencoh> sicelo: running proxy in a loop might help, by the way
Jul 01 14:19:05 <bencoh> I suspect location-proxy may issue more than one request in some cases
Jul 01 14:21:55 <sicelo> it'd be great to find out the circumstances needed for that. i don't use GPS a lot, but can defintely help with any needed testing :)
Jul 01 14:22:32 <bencoh> :)
Jul 01 14:23:05 <bencoh> actually the less you use your gps, the more critical agps becomes :)
Jul 01 14:26:15 <sicelo> true
Jul 01 14:28:14 <bencoh> I hardly use my gps as well, but when I need it ... I really want it to work
Jul 01 14:29:57 <sicelo> and it must work quickly 
Jul 01 14:31:53 <bencoh> exactly
