Oct 27 03:00:46 <cwillu_> anyone know anything about ks8851?
Oct 27 03:08:20 * Neko imaging smartbooks for UDS
Oct 27 21:42:35 <JakeJBailey> can I use ubuntu repos on debian for beagleboard?
Oct 27 21:49:51 <dmart> JakeJBailey: do you mean you have debian on your beagle and want to install ubuntu packages?
Oct 27 21:52:09 <JakeJBailey> exactly
Oct 27 21:52:33 <dmart> JakeJBailey: though I've not tried it myself, I believe it may work in many cases
Oct 27 21:53:22 <dmart> You may hit some ABI issues, because debian builds for ARMv4, but Ubuntu builds for ARMv7 with the Thumb-2 instruction set
Oct 27 21:53:27 <JakeJBailey> cool, I am having trouble finding the repos for arm
Oct 27 21:54:11 <dmart> deb http://ports.ubuntu.com maverick main [etc.]
Oct 27 21:54:13 <JakeJBailey> you mean just becuase I am running debian I can not compile things for ARMv7 and have it work?
Oct 27 21:54:46 <dmart> It depends on the current toolchain in debian - I believe you should be able to compile for v7
Oct 27 21:54:58 <dmart> But the debian archive is not built for v7 by default
Oct 27 21:55:04 <JakeJBailey> okay cool, my ultimate goal here is to run openarena
Oct 27 21:55:36 <dmart> I guess the answer is - try it ;)
Oct 27 21:55:37 <JakeJBailey> dont know if going from a v4 build to v7 will help performance that much but i would imagine it would have to help some
Oct 27 21:58:03 <dmart> If you are always running on capable hardware, you have the option to enable hardware floating point - again, for maximum compatibility the debian archive is built for soft-float only
Oct 27 21:58:45 <dmart> It depends on what kind of code the package you're actually contains though.
Oct 27 22:00:43 <JakeJBailey> even for an opengl game such as openarena?
Oct 27 22:02:25 <dmart> JakeJBailey: I guess it's more a question of backend libraries and/or graphics acceleration then
Oct 27 22:02:32 <dmart> have to go, I'm afraid...
Oct 27 22:02:37 <dmart> good luck
Oct 28 00:47:49 <Neko> if I bought a pandaboard what would I be able to expect?
Oct 28 00:48:14 <Neko> is it going to be like beagle where I buy one now and then 4 revisions later it actually works and I am stuck with a dud? :D
Oct 28 01:35:16 <rsalveti> JakeJBailey: gave up of Maverick?
Oct 28 01:36:05 <rsalveti> Neko: well, the current one works quite ok, and it seems most of the issues are software related
Oct 28 01:36:30 <rsalveti> it'll probably be better than what we had for beagle, but I believe it could happen in some sort
Oct 28 01:37:28 <Neko> rsalveti, you should be getting a smartbook tomorrow :)
Oct 28 01:39:10 <rsalveti> Neko: yeah, looking for it :-)
