Can't keep up ..

Don't feel like I can keep up with blogging right now on top of all the other things that are happening in my life. Been a seriously busy couple of weeks here, only with loads ofwork. There's been a lot of fun staying up late at work, just to get the modules in the project working.

Over the last few days, i have had great fun hacking around with U-Boot. This is one boot loader which i really did not wish to work on. But the experience has been fun. We had to get the processor support as well as a new board support for our processor in to U-Boot. It did take us quite some time here to figure out the whole process of implement new code into it. With almost least amount of documentation, almost nil, we got the bootloader working. Its one of the best things i have hacked on off recent other than usual kernel drivers part.

There has been qutie a lot for me to learn in this organization, as we are into a complete development lifecycle, ie the hardware as well as the software development happens in this place. So there has to be great amount of co-ordination between the two teams to move towards the delivery of the work. This is one of the reason, i love being here. There is so much of infomation that flows between the two departments, that developers as well has hardware engineers get filled with information of stuff which they are not working on too.

I have been actually hacking on the harware built by them. Well the processor is some thing that has a very unique design. It runs at 50MHz, and starts off with a delay of 400 ns. I wonder why anyone would want to desing some thing like this...rest of the stuff was designed in house. Now we are on the testing phase of the board. By the way, there's FPGA too on this guy...and i have been looking into verilog code for some time now....it resembles C a lot.

Its my cousin's birthday today.....Happy birthday Fiddo...

just found this question yesterday.....

"how can we laugh in French?, in English we use "ha ha ha" or "he he he". what about French?"
