[04:05:44] <ausjke> need attach a small touchscreen to it
[04:20:28] <Turl_> ausjke: olimex boards usually don't have a LCD, but many support handling one
[04:21:06] <Turl_> you can usually see some LCDs you can buy separately on the related products part on the product page
[04:25:12] <ausjke> google showed a Beaglebone 7" LCD
[04:25:35] <ausjke> i'm trying to convince a client that imx233 fits better than beaglebone in his product
[04:25:56] <ausjke> does the USB-dongle on the website do AP too?
[04:33:27] <Turl_> no idea about that
[04:33:51] <Turl_> you can probably google the chipset and find out though
[04:34:20] <ausjke> ok thanks!
[16:59:29] <sawtooth> hi
[17:00:20] <sawtooth> do you know if A20 has NEON on both cores ?
[17:00:43] <sawtooth> it's not clear from the datasheet
[17:48:49] <ssvb> sawtooth: yes
[17:49:47] <ssvb> sawtooth: as far as I know, all ARM SMP systems in existence offer exactly the same features on all CPU cores
[17:49:48] <sawtooth> oh thanks
[17:49:58] <sawtooth> ok
[17:50:37] <sawtooth> that's neat :)
[17:51:01] <ssvb> that's one of the reasons why Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A15 support the same features (just the speed differs)
[17:51:21] <sawtooth> there are so many SOCs with A7 right now
[17:52:27] <ssvb> A7 and A15 have to work correctly in big.LITTLE systems, and migration of a process from one core to another must be always problem-free
[17:53:11] <ssvb> having NEON available on one core and not available on another would have been a major PITA
[17:53:19] <sawtooth> in big.LITTLE they never work both at the same time ?
[17:53:35] <sawtooth> yes, i was thinking how that would work, would be quite complex
[18:01:04] <WarheadsSE> sawtooth: there are a slight few implementations where you can run the big & LITTLE, but most are either/or
[18:02:37] <sawtooth> so its main purpose is to save battery power ?
[18:33:52] <WarheadsSE> primarily, thats the concept, yes
[18:34:39] <WarheadsSE> But for those that have proper CCI w/ HMP, then you can actually use affinity and select which core the processes run on, while having access to up to 8 cores
[19:22:02] <al__> bonjour
[19:23:47] <al__> est ce que quelqu un pourrai m aider
[19:28:45] <al__> hi everyone can help me please
[19:43:38] <al__> ????
[19:50:46] <Niii> ?
[20:23:07] <Claude> poor al__ , if i only knew what ???? means in french ...
[22:48:15] <BusError> Claude, these bloody french quitters, see, he didn't even stay ! :-)

[04:00:47] <ausjke> checking imx233 OLinuXino, does it have a LCD module too? the product page does not show any[04:05:44] <ausjke> need attach a small touchscreen to it
