12:15 AM rue_shop2: go to bed
12:15 AM rue_shop2: I'll work on my panel
12:15 AM Tom_L: the only thing it wanted was that one lib
12:15 AM Tom_L: and it asked for it
12:16 AM Tom_L: well the terminal said it wasn't there
12:17 AM Tom_L: i did install a few things prior to that though
12:17 AM Tom_L: later.
05:02 AM Tom_L: it's later...
11:27 AM Tom_L: it's even later...
11:33 AM * Tom_L sets off a fire alarm in rue_bed2's room

12:59 PM Tom_L: just unplugged the IC and wired it in there
01:00 PM Tom_L: read the file from the cpld successfully and saved it to the pc
01:02 PM Tom_L: now to try it on linux
01:16 PM Tom_L: ok i might need your help on linux. it doesn't see the usb jtag
01:16 PM Tom_L: but i did verify it works in windows and haven't moved any plugs etc
01:16 PM Tom_L: same pc
01:46 PM rue_mohr: well I'm awake
01:46 PM rue_mohr: got some good progess on the panel I'm making, tho lots of things went wrong
01:47 PM rue_mohr: apparently 0.4mm was WAY too deep for the engraving I was doing
01:47 PM rue_mohr: on the bottom of the plexi, which I forgot to mirror
01:47 PM rue_mohr: no blue tint, so I used green...
01:48 PM Tom_L: i installed ISE Design Suite System Edition btw...
01:49 PM Tom_L: re'installing _with_ cable drivers...
01:50 PM rue_mohr: I could reinstall webpack, but
01:50 PM rue_mohr: I cant see anything thats disabled
01:50 PM rue_mohr: and I dont think reinstalling would help
01:50 PM Tom_L: no you're fine
01:50 PM Tom_L: i'm just doing it because it defaulted to that install
01:50 PM rue_mohr: yet it complains about the lack of key on startup
01:50 PM Tom_L: my license will only enable the webpack stuff
01:51 PM rue_mohr: I found more xilinx chips
01:51 PM rue_mohr: but I think that one I mentioned would be the most workable
01:52 PM rue_mohr: I think I know which chip is the cpu, so I can pop that off
01:52 PM rue_mohr: so I need access to the jtag pins,
01:52 PM rue_mohr: and need to leave the power pins
01:52 PM rue_mohr: its a multilayer baord tho, I might not be able to disconnect everything
01:53 PM rue_mohr: shower, breakfast,
01:53 PM rue_mohr: its sunny, its a vaccation day, and its a week day
01:54 PM rue_mohr: if there is anything I need to drive somewhere to do during normal business hours, I should do it
01:54 PM rue_mohr: time is burning up on me
01:54 PM rue_mohr: oh and I want to extrude some silicone tube too
01:55 PM rue_mohr: I need silicone!
01:56 PM rue_mohr: I think a nice long-term target for the fpga would be to shovel data from a fast ADC to a fifo ram
02:00 PM Tom_L: driver installation failed
02:34 PM rue_mohr: ok,m so that never worked
02:34 PM Tom_L: may need help on this usb driver

03:16 PM Tom_dev: checking for linux kernel source... not found
03:16 PM Tom_dev: configure: error: please install the kernel source or specify alternate location
03:17 PM Tom_L: what is that?
03:18 PM rue_mohr: it needs to make a kernel module
03:18 PM rue_mohr: and it nmeeds all the source for rthe existing one to do it
03:18 PM Tom_L: how do i do that?
03:18 PM rue_mohr: apt-get install... it didn't work out for me, I compiled a whole new kernel so that I'd have the source
03:19 PM Tom_dev: well i can use this usb i just can't use it on linux right now
03:19 PM Tom_dev: i've got xilinx installed on the windows boot and it works
03:20 PM Tom_dev: lemme paste the whole thing
03:22 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/rue/install.txt
03:22 PM Tom_dev: stuff is missing but i dunno where to find it
03:23 PM rue_shop1: for the kernel source?
03:24 PM Tom_L: whaever i need to make the usb work...
03:25 PM rue_shop1: kernel is apt-get install linux-source and apt-get build-dep linux-source ((iirc))
03:25 PM Tom_L: one sec
03:25 PM rue_shop1: if you need the kernel source
03:25 PM Tom_L: i found a script in that lib directory that says "install_windrvr6
03:25 PM rue_shop1: I'm burring my head into another project for a bit
03:28 PM Tom_dev: Usage: ./install_windrvr6 <module name> [use_udev(yes|no|auto)]
03:28 PM Tom_L: which?
03:28 PM Tom_L: what's the module?
03:29 PM rue_shop1: I dont know
03:30 PM rue_shop1: did you say it said it needs
03:30 PM rue_shop1: configure: error: please install the kernel source or specify alternate location
03:31 PM Tom_L: costing too much time
03:56 PM rue_mohr: ?
03:57 PM rue_mohr: where did I post my lightbox project
04:12 PM Tom_L: no idea
04:13 PM Tom_L: i wonder if i'd have less trouble with the usb on debian 9 instead of 10
05:58 PM Tom_L: trying 9 on another disk
08:11 PM Tom_L: doesn't work on 9 either
08:38 PM Tom_L: https://www.george-smart.co.uk/fpga/xilinx_jtag_linux/

09:17 PM Tom_L: well that compiled but won't connect to the jtag
09:22 PM rue_mohr: hmm
09:25 PM Tom_L: still tweaking
09:25 PM Tom_L: i may have had a wrong path
09:29 PM Tom_L: so close but no
09:29 PM Tom_L: windrvr6 isn't loaded
09:35 PM Tom_L: running out of ideas
