04:53 AM JT-Cave: new LG delivery 11:30-3:30
04:57 AM Tom_L: nice
04:57 AM Tom_L: hope it works out better than it has been
05:38 AM JT-Cave: at least this time we have a 5 year fix or replace or full refund warranty
06:33 AM JT-Cave: next think I bet is you'll want mesact to create a 7c80 configuration
07:28 AM Tom_L: or write and verify firmware
07:31 AM Tom_L: i haven't tested that yet
07:41 AM JT-Cave: just added read pd for spi boards
07:43 AM Tom_L: was thinking, write - verify buttons should be greyed until there is a firmware selected
07:43 AM JT-Cave: hmm a good idea
07:44 AM Tom_L: that's good... i'm off the hook for the rest of the week
07:45 AM Tom_L: i'm still not sure what PD is
07:45 AM Tom_L: pin description?
07:47 AM JT-Cave: iirc it's pretty description
07:48 AM Tom_L: does it read the pin file?
07:51 AM JT-Cave: no
07:52 AM Tom_L: some have a .pin to go with the .bit or .bin
07:52 AM Tom_L: but not all of them
07:59 AM Tom_L: should i build now or wait a while?
08:00 AM Tom_L: i'll wait for the firmware
08:02 AM Tom_L: i need to find a better hex editor
08:02 AM Tom_L: i just grabbed the first one i found for the raw read write
08:10 AM Tom_L: does the reload button call --reload ?
08:14 AM Tom_L: ok i'm off for a while
08:38 AM JT-Cave: https://github.com/jethornton/mesact/blob/master/mesact/src/libmesact/flash.py#L300
08:55 AM JT-Cave: run grep -irn print-pd against the emc logs I'm sure Peter told me what that means at some time or another
02:42 PM Tom_L: yes, after you flash firmware you can either --reload or power cycle the board
02:43 PM Tom_L: i'm 96% sure that's what it is
05:08 PM JT-Shop: the fridge is too tall... I had to pull the cabinet out for now
05:43 PM rdtsc-w: can't win for losing...
05:44 PM * JT-Shop calls it a day... all tired out getting the new fridge in
08:18 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, reload seems to work
