I´m not so much interested in recording but more as a media center / H.264 playback. I realize Debian has got a current Linux ARM port and I wonder if most parts of the OSD2 has drivers in mainline kernel by now... How would one proceed if I want to install a Debian Linux ARM on the OSD, what does it boot from? is the bootloader in Flash?. Thoughts? Comments?. -TIA FC </pre> Fernando Cassia 2012-03-31T00:25:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4690 <pre>Hi, I try to download the code but the server is down, where is the new SVN Server?

But, I don't remember seeing this posted here http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nuttx/message/480 /////////// NuttX v5.9 for the Neuros OSD 1.0 consumer unit builds, boots, and runs both `nsh' and `ostest' just fine, using the CodeSourcery 2010q1-188 EABI toolchain on GNU/Linux. No changes at all were needed (other than the expected tweaking of the compiler path in `setenv.sh�). Thanks! /////////// Perhaps with a lighter kernel the problem of running out of memory will be gone? :) I still think a Neuros OSD v1.x with 256MB of RAM and an embedded Java VM would have been great. :) [If anyone succeeds in replacing the surface mount ram chips to replace them with a pair of compatible 256MB SDRAM ones let me know :)] FC PS: WRT the memory issue... Is the document below wrong? I fail to see if it's the development boards which had 64MB vs 32MB on the production release, or the other way around... http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.php/OSD_Developer_Board_v1 the st</pre> Fernando Cassia 2011-08-31T06:42:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4686 <pre>Hi there! Just thinking aloud... I wonder if any of you knows how much memory does a SOCKS5 server need, and if it´d be possible to make one fit inside the OSD. Suppose I have an OSD in a different subnet, and I want to use it as a low-power proxy (actualy socks) tunnel server... Of course, the process would be killed when using the OSD for its original purpose (recording video), but it could be used as socks gateway when not in use for video. Right now my only concern is not what kind of performance one might get, but more like if a basic socks5 server would fit in the OSD´s limited RAM... Thoughts? comments? expletives? ;) FC </pre> Fernando Cassia 2011-07-16T10:15:43 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4672 <pre>I扉e been playing with the OSDv1 and telnetting to it. It runs the OSDNG firmware and I扉ebeen telnetting to the box and observing cpu usage with "top". While playing back a video file, vplayer uses 1.1% of CPU, and top uses 3.5%, idecode_video uses 1.5% and process 慨msd戟ses 22%, another (2nd) nmsd uses 0.9%. Question: what is nmsd? and why are there two running?. Just curious.

I've managed to build a working toolchain (gcc4.4, hoping for speed improvements) and booting kernel (nothing new, same old version) and various command-line apps, all on the buildroot[1] framework. Nothing exciting however. I'd like to get the core OSD functionality going, and this is where I need help. All the core stuff is closed source, and mixing stuff compiled with old and new toolchain won't work - especially as old toolchain is glibc based, and my new one is uclibc. Is there any way of getting the closed stuff compiled with my new toolchain? I would do it myself, but I don't want to sign an NDA! Any ideas/suggestions? -Gerry (greyback) [1] http://buildroot.uclibc.org </pre> Gerry Boland 2011-04-04T19:08:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4658 <pre>One of my SD cards got corrupted and displays several files with mangled filenames... namely high-ascii chars Windows XP refuses to rename those diaplaying some odd error message that I didn´t write down. Will Linux do? Or is there another solution? The files are there, and two of the mangled filenames are very long OSD recordings. The card is a 4GB SD (non-SDHC) PQI, FWIW. Format was obviously fat32.

Basically what I plan to do is to put a small app on it that will connect to a daemon on the Link (or my laptop, or on the OSD1 when I finally get around resurrecting one and making it my low-power audio player remotely controlled by my laptop or cellphone). The app will get from the daemon the metadata for the currently playing track and display it on the screen in the most readable way possible. The tablet itself will be hanging somewhere on a wall where anyone in the room can see it -- velcro straps, a wooden frame/cradle, something like that, depending on what I manage to scavenge around. Possibly when there's no music playing it will act as a wall clock, or display RSS feeds and that stuff, or just go to sleep to consume less watts (if doable on android and this hardware, I don't know). I'm doing this because being a glorified wall is at least better than sitting in a box gathering dust, </pre> Ugo Riboni 2011-03-10T09:48:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4640 <pre>Has the neuros-beta mailing list been closed?.

Android 2.2 "Froyo" built from AOSP is running on the eken m001 with some very lite patching. I will be testing this on my tablet today. This should definitely make anyone who has been calling for creating a full build from source happy. I am still trying to get a build system setup on my computer to try and build from scratch. One of the key missing elements is a touchscreen calibration app. Anyone familiar with android app development want to try porting over the one from 1.6 or building an opensource one?

I have added a 14 pin header to the card with the DM6446 to attach the emulator. In CCS4 when I try to connect to the target I get... ------- Error connecting to target: Error 0x80002240/-116 Fatal Error during: Initialization, OCS, Control ------- That happens without my using any gel file. I also tried using the gel file from Spectrum Digital's EVM that also uses the DM6446 and get the same error message Has any one used a JTAG emulator on the OSD2 or could suggest something I could try? Thanks Steve </pre> gulick 2010-11-23T15:44:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.embedded.neuros.dm320/4607 <pre>I remember that whoever designed the "new" firmware allowing read-write from Compactflash talked about booting from USB as a possibility. The question is simple: would it be possible for one OSD to have a "stop gap" boot code (grub?) that then boots from USB mass storage as the root partition with r/w privileges?.
