hellekin | is Intel making free hardware SoC now? http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/galileo-maker-quark-board.html | 04:49 |
---|---|---|
roh | yes and no | 04:49 |
roh | the galileo seems cc-by-sa | 04:49 |
roh | but thats just like a 'reference design' for their quark soc | 04:49 |
roh | so the soc itself isnt free, but the schems/source is. | 04:50 |
roh | so far i am quite impressed. lets wait for pricing and availability ;) | 04:51 |
roh | especially the formfactor and the mini-pci-e slot seems nice. i would have some ideas for that | 04:51 |
hellekin | eh, that's pretty recent. I like the CERN OHL list :) https://communities.intel.com/community/makers/manuals--guides--etc./intel%28r%29-galileo-development-board-documents | 04:53 |
hellekin | so the SoC design is free, but the chip isn't | 04:53 |
roh | well.. its still intel. so you get chips you can buy, specs, some documentation and foss drivers. | 04:54 |
roh | they will for sure not give out their chipmaking masks and asic designs | 04:54 |
hellekin | so it's mostly to steal ARM's business, no much news for hardware freedom. Same game, different players. | 04:55 |
roh | jup | 04:56 |
roh | but as long nobody gives me funding to have and run chipmaking fabs or rent some, i think i am happy with socs with proper docs | 04:57 |
hellekin | all you need is $1 from each person on Earth roh. Don't desperate ;o) | 04:59 |
roh | too bad only a small part of those even have access to clean water and eletric power they can afford | 04:59 |
hellekin | I've heard there's a plan to make everyone equal, by burning all resources, polluting all drinkable water, and killing everyone. | 05:01 |
roh | hehe | 05:02 |
hellekin | rms mentioned i.MX6 as a potentially acceptable platform for running 100% free software, saying that onyle the video decoder remains to be reverse engineered. | 05:13 |
hellekin | s/onyle/only/ | 05:13 |
hellekin | it uses an ARM Cortex9 dual or quad proc | 05:15 |
hellekin | uff. These gizmos get tinier every time I have a look. Next time I get a bug to enter my nose and lobotomize me to connect to Facebook and Google Maps. | 05:16 |
hellekin | well, time to sleep. TTYL | 05:17 |
roh | hellekin: i dont usually take rms that seriously when deciding which hw to use ;9 | 05:17 |
roh | gn8 | 05:17 |
roh | wandboard would be imx6 | 05:17 |
sanderr | Pfff, finally time to blow off some steam. | 08:32 |
sanderr | (free from work today) | 08:33 |
sanderr | And time to catch up on reading about anelok. :) | 08:33 |
wpwrak | very good :) | 09:37 |
wpwrak | fedex delivered the remaining toys. now anelok is unstoppable :) | 16:54 |
ysionneau | hehe | 17:02 |
kristianpaul | wee :) | 18:40 |
kristianpaul | wpwrak: btw having the ben wpan modules is mandatory to get anelok to work? or anelok will have its own 208.15.14 link? | 18:42 |
whitequark | http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/oct/04/tor-stinks-nsa-presentation-document | 19:30 |
whitequark | so... one hand of USG created tor, the other one tries to break it? | 19:30 |
wpwrak | kristianpaul: use of 802.15.4 is optional. if you want to use it for HID and such, you'll need an atusb (or a yet to be designed atusb successor) | 19:46 |
viric | "Terrorist with tor client installed" | 19:53 |
kristianpaul | viric: ;) | 20:30 |
kristianpaul | remenber that they protect us | 20:30 |
viric | us meaning U.S.? | 20:30 |
viric | they protect very few people. The rest are at risk :) | 20:31 |
kristianpaul | nop U.S | 20:31 |
kristianpaul | indeed (few) | 20:31 |
wpwrak | more news from the USSR ? (United States Secure Republic) | 21:32 |
Action: eintopf took his nose into this channel and heard something about ieee802.15.4 | 21:46 | |
viric | heard? in an irc channel? with the nose?? | 21:47 |
eintopf | yea | 21:47 |
viric | quite impressive. | 21:48 |
wpwrak | eintopf: yeah, i'll use 802.15.4 for communication between a password safe and a PC (e.g., emulating a keyboard) | 21:52 |
wpwrak | eintopf: the PC-side hardware will be or course atusb :) (or an updated variant of it) | 21:53 |
eintopf | ah, ok | 21:55 |
eintopf | wpwrak: I try to work on the mac/6lowpan rework rfc... | 21:57 |
eintopf | but I don't get it running | 21:57 |
eintopf | and I think I don't have/get time for this to make a whole rework of this | 21:57 |
eintopf | :( | 21:58 |
wpwrak | well, sometimes it helps to take a break, have a few beers, than have a look at it again a couple of days later | 21:59 |
wpwrak | s/than/then/ | 21:59 |
eintopf | I don't drink beer | 22:02 |
eintopf | got some issue in a do { ... } while (read_seqretry(....)) | 22:03 |
eintopf | first I need to understand what this means :) | 22:03 |
wpwrak | well, wine actually works better for this than beer :) | 22:05 |
