Feb 11 15:27:04 <jalto> would someone mind checking what alsa module the sheevaplug uses (arecord -l or lsmod), the debian install I'm using doesn't seem to recognize it
Feb 11 16:48:31 <jalto> googling shows that the shevaplug uses an alsa snd-mv88fx module, could anyone confirm this please
Feb 11 16:50:47 <chemicaloliver> jalto: you might have more sucess on the debian-arm mailing list if you don't get a response here, or openplug.org
Feb 11 16:51:38 <jalto> chemicaloliver, ok thanks I'll try there
Feb 11 16:53:14 <chemicaloliver> jalto: the people who hang around on the debian-arm list seem to actually know technical stuff, here it's just pot luck if anyone who knows is reading
Feb 11 22:40:05 <phaidros> hi, anyone a clue, if the guruplug cpu does have a FPU oder not?
Feb 11 22:40:25 <phaidros> or if it is the same as in the sheevaplug .. then it shouldn't have FPU ..
Feb 11 22:40:26 <roxfan> "oder"?
Feb 11 22:40:40 <phaidros> roxfan: oder == or (german)
Feb 11 22:40:41 <phaidros> sry
Feb 11 22:40:42 <phaidros> :D
Feb 11 22:41:02 <phaidros> anyone knows?
Feb 11 22:42:21 <roxfan> http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-guruplugdetails.aspx
Feb 11 22:42:46 <phaidros> roxfan: I know
Feb 11 22:42:47 <roxfan> iirc 88F6281 is the same cpu as in sheevaplug
Feb 11 22:42:51 <phaidros> ah!
Feb 11 22:43:01 <phaidros> good, thats the important piece!
Feb 11 22:43:03 <phaidros> thx :)
Feb 11 22:59:42 <phaidros> hm, there is the other guruplug: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-guruplugdisplaydetails.aspx
Feb 11 22:59:53 <phaidros> talking 'bout marvell armada, does this one have fpu?
Feb 11 23:01:10 <phaidros> hm, it seems armada is the board
Feb 11 23:01:18 <phaidros> still with same sheeva cpu
Feb 11 23:02:15 <phaidros> or am I wrong here?
Feb 11 23:03:17 <roxfan> hm, pxa168
Feb 11 23:03:52 <roxfan> has wmmx2 apparently
Feb 11 23:04:14 <roxfan> not sure if that supports floading point or just integers
Feb 11 23:18:06 <ShadowJK> What do you use floating point for?
Feb 12 01:58:18 <phaidros> ShadowJK: audio encoding
Feb 12 01:58:30 <ShadowJK> ah.
Feb 12 01:58:52 <phaidros> only solution with integer is celt so far. but not supported by any app yet
Feb 12 01:59:03 <phaidros> (celt codec)
Feb 12 02:50:35 <tinker-f595> phaidros: ARMADA is a series of SOCs from Marvell
Feb 12 02:51:01 <phaidros> tinker-f595: ic, do you know if they carry an fpu?
Feb 12 02:51:13 <tinker-f595> I may know  ;)
Feb 12 02:51:21 <phaidros> do they?
Feb 12 02:51:22 <tinker-f595> but take a look at the specs ypurself
Feb 12 02:51:28 <tinker-f595> depends on which one
Feb 12 02:51:39 <tinker-f595> and you can use the DSP if you are clever
Feb 12 02:51:46 <phaidros> I am not getting to clea about what is actually in the guruplug
Feb 12 02:52:11 <phaidros> tinker-f595: how would one do that generally?
Feb 12 02:52:35 <tinker-f595> http://www.marvell.com/products/processors/armada/
Feb 12 02:53:12 <tinker-f595> phaidros:  the specs for the guruplug are clear
Feb 12 02:53:34 <tinker-f595> http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-guruplugdetails.aspx
Feb 12 02:55:41 <phaidros> i don't see an FPU on 88F6281. (http://www.marvell.com/products/processors/embedded/kirkwood/)
Feb 12 02:56:47 <phaidros> but i see one at PXA618 (on the link you posted)
Feb 12 02:57:03 <phaidros> which is in the GuruPlug Display
Feb 12 02:57:18 <phaidros> thx, got it :)
Feb 12 02:57:33 <phaidros> tinker-f595: how would one make use of a dsp for encoding?
Feb 12 02:58:19 <phaidros> and how would one just apt-get such a solution ? ;)
Feb 12 02:58:53 <tinker-f595> look at the functional specification and hardware specification for the 88F6281
Feb 12 02:59:22 <tinker-f595> to have a solution you need a problem
