Feb 10 00:45:31 <dyoung> pong
Feb 10 00:45:34 <dyoung> ka6sox
Feb 10 01:37:13 <Tiersten> hmm
Feb 10 01:46:38 <dyoung> eh?
Feb 10 01:46:46 <dyoung> I need a DVI Monitor.
Feb 10 01:47:12 <dyoung> All these silly SMPS 's are getting into my crappy VGA Cable.
Feb 10 01:47:28 <dyoung> so I gotta put the cable "just so".
Feb 10 01:47:32 <Tiersten> heh
Feb 10 01:47:48 <Tiersten> You can still get interference problems with DVI
Feb 10 01:48:05 <Tiersten> But instead of just a fuzzy picture, you'd get a really flickery or no picture
Feb 10 01:48:14 <dyoung> Swell.
Feb 10 01:48:27 <dyoung> Okay, so I should put all these power bricks someplace else then.
Feb 10 01:48:32 <Tiersten> Yep
Feb 10 01:48:33 <Tiersten> :)
Feb 10 01:49:12 <dyoung> Darn, I was hoping that would be a good enough excuse to go buy a monitor.
Feb 10 01:49:37 <Tiersten> It *should* be okay as it has to be pretty bad for it to affect DVI
Feb 10 01:50:08 <jacques> dvi cable is also important
Feb 10 01:50:14 <jacques> some are much better shielded
Feb 10 01:50:19 <dyoung> I'll try moving power bricks around.
Feb 10 01:50:47 <dyoung> Its bad enough that I am actually considering wrapping my VGA cable with aluminum foil.
Feb 10 01:51:02 <Tiersten> Tinfoil beanie?
Feb 10 01:51:11 <Tiersten> Just in case it's interfering with your brain... ;)
Feb 10 01:51:39 <dyoung> That component is already messed up.  No amount of shielding will help.
Feb 10 01:51:44 <Tiersten> heh
Feb 10 01:52:10 <dyoung> Bigger must be better.
Feb 10 01:52:20 <dyoung> cable that is
Feb 10 01:52:46 <Tiersten> I just used the ones that came with my monitor
Feb 10 01:53:35 <jacques> why is there no working midi editor for linux?
Feb 10 01:53:37 <dyoung> My sony one is apparently pretty crappy.
Feb 10 01:54:01 <dyoung> Dunno?
Feb 10 01:54:13 <Tiersten> What he said
Feb 10 01:54:16 <dyoung> Maybe MIDI is nt of interest to Linux Folk?
Feb 10 01:56:15 <jacques> well there's lots of broken ones
Feb 10 01:57:12 <dyoung> This isnt bad.
Feb 10 01:57:22 <dyoung> Slave Labour Camp #8 VGA Cable.
Feb 10 01:58:43 <dyoung> Its fine right up until I put a power brick next to it.
Feb 10 01:58:53 <Tiersten> Then don't? :)
Feb 10 01:59:25 <dyoung> Right.
Feb 10 01:59:41 <dyoung> The Stock Sony cable picked it from pretty far.
Feb 10 02:00:29 <dyoung> The stock sony one was made in a differnt slave labour camp apparently.
Feb 10 02:00:41 <dyoung> #6 maybe.
Feb 10 02:02:14 <Tiersten> heh
Feb 10 02:02:33 <Tiersten> What nasty PSUs are you using that pump out that much RF?
Feb 10 02:03:12 <dyoung> Hmm
Feb 10 02:03:25 <dyoung> The offending one is some Ping Ho unit.
Feb 10 02:03:42 <dyoung> (ping ho in sorta like acme in dyoung-speak)
Feb 10 02:04:03 <dyoung> ping ho = Generic Made in Slave Labour Camp #x
Feb 10 02:04:18 <dyoung> It came with a USB Drive case.
Feb 10 02:04:26 <dyoung> the Mini one isnt too offensive.
Feb 10 02:04:30 <dyoung> The sony one is kinda bad.
Feb 10 08:15:17 <prpplague> any jtag gurus awake?
Feb 10 08:17:07 <ka6sox> not who haven't had coffee
Feb 10 08:17:20 <prpplague> ka6sox: hehe
Feb 10 08:18:41 <prpplague> ka6sox: question, after i use jtag to flash my bootloader, the reset circuit on my board doesn't work, is there something special i have to do tell the processor i'm no longer using jtag?
Feb 10 08:19:01 <ka6sox> nTRST
Feb 10 08:19:51 <prpplague> ka6sox: ahh, sending the nTRST causes the jtag interface to be reset
Feb 10 08:20:06 <ka6sox> should...depending on the processor
Feb 10 08:20:17 <prpplague> ka6sox: ok
Feb 10 08:20:38 <prpplague> ka6sox: so, normally the code would send the nTRST at the end of the jtag cycle
Feb 10 08:20:54 <prpplague> ka6sox: cycle==end of app
Feb 10 08:21:14 * prpplague is pretty much a jtag newbie
Feb 10 08:21:38 <ka6sox> if the processor needs to be reset out of the jtag mode then yes...
Feb 10 08:21:45 <ka6sox> not all devices us n
Feb 10 08:21:51 <ka6sox> nTRST
Feb 10 08:22:14 <prpplague> hmm, wonder if that is specified in the processor datasheet or in the bsdl
Feb 10 08:22:26 <prpplague> ka6sox: where would you look for that?
Feb 10 08:22:50 <ka6sox> in the processor docs under the jtag section.
Feb 10 08:26:49 <prpplague> ka6sox: thats just it sharp sucks at their jtag docs, there isn't hardly any
Feb 10 08:27:12 <ka6sox> ugh..sounds like a question to their support people..
Feb 10 08:27:32 <prpplague> yea
Feb 10 08:27:57 <ka6sox> barbados, when?
Feb 10 08:28:07 <ka6sox> oops...
Feb 10 08:29:11 <prpplague> ka6sox: what?
Feb 10 08:29:55 <prpplague> ka6sox: i'm leaving for barbados around april16th
Feb 10 15:03:38 <prpplague> ok jtag ppl
Feb 10 15:03:44 <prpplague> got a question
Feb 10 15:04:12 <prpplague> is having nRESET on your jtag header really that important to most ppl?
