| juliusb | blueCmd: so that means we're close to getting upstream? | 10:01 |
|---|---|---|
| juliusb | only...16 years after the port was begun? | 10:02 |
| juliusb | I wonder if that's some kind of record | 10:02 |
| blueCmd | juliusb: close and close. don't hold you breath, it will take time and effort - but at least it no longer appears impossible | 10:14 |
| blueCmd | the gcc port still needs to be polished to pass the tests and we need to find a code reviewer | 10:15 |
| stekern | but at least we are getting closer to a point where it's just technical obstacles and not beuracratical ones | 10:16 |
| blueCmd | yep | 10:17 |
| stekern | that article about project vault makes a point why they choose openrisc. I guess they wanted to opensource their own cores, but the cores alone aren't all that interesting, so they grabbed the first open source cpu they saw to replace the ARM they are planning to use in the final thing. | 11:07 |
| blueCmd | So much weirdness with the Vault thing | 12:04 |
| blueCmd | ATAP isn't really "Google" in that sense, it's more an incubator so it would explain the source code release and odditites | 12:05 |
| blueCmd | but it is odd. normally Google requires quite the review before open-sourcing stuff, this looks like someone just dumped everything into a repository | 12:06 |
| stekern | yes, and that someone doesn't seem to be affiliated with google at all | 12:34 |
| olofk | I've been wondering if this is some guy who didn't realize it would be public | 12:43 |
| olofk | Hmm... if only we knew someone at Google who could find out who that tcarstens is | 12:43 |
| blueCmd | yeah, well, if you did he would probably say that there isn't such a person inside Google. ATAP is a research project, AFAIK they are just some sort of incubator for researchers given grants. Think of PhDs that get their projects funded if Google gets to own the product. | 12:45 |
| blueCmd | that's how I understood it anyway | 12:45 |
| blueCmd | If it was an official release it would certainly be under https://github.com/google/ and not its own page | 12:46 |
| olofk | Jesus. They're using a 64KiB bootrom in the ProjecVault thingamob | 13:05 |
| olofk | Haha. It's not close to meet timing. Got a timing score of 1279100 | 13:37 |
| olofk | Some languages makes it hard to write self-modifying code. Python makes it hard to _not_ do that sometimes | 19:24 |
| shentino | I thought the champion of self modifying code was lisp | 19:29 |
| olofk | shentino: At least lisp doesn't have inheritane | 19:54 |
| olofk | c | 19:54 |
| olofk | Ha! Python, you're no match for my extraordinary intelligence! | 20:38 |
