If you look at the source code in otheros_demo_1.0, you will see a function call to set_boot_flag(0) in demo.c. The source code for the function is in flash.c

I noticed the IBM website has updated the OpenCL developoment kit for the cell processor. The newer version installs just fine in my PS3. For those of you who followed this tread from the beginning, there is a minor change to the above instructions. When you edit the xlc_install script, use the foll...

I wrote my first program in OpenCL. The program queries the OpenCL environment.

Here is a link to my website where you can download the program

Well, the Julia set example provided in the samples is a good reference. It generates 50 frames in 1.92 sec. The frames are 512x512 in size. So we’re talking roughly at about 26 frames per seconds. I consider this real time. I believe one of the samples in Mac OS produces Julia sets as well. I don’t...

I had similar issues at the beginning. I believe the IBM XL Compiler for OpenCL is not installed properly. Installing the rpms located in the iso is not enough. You have to run the xlc_install (bash script) for proper installation. The only problem is the script checks for Fedora 7 or Red Hat Enterp...

I am also running YDL 6.2 and cell sdk 3.1. The compiler I am using is good old reliable gcc/g++.

Besides installing the OpenCL Development Kit, did you also install the IBM XL Compiler for OpenCL, V0.1? Both downloads are provided by IBM.

I wonder if that will be also part of the cell sdk for ps3, just seen IBM server support so far. The packages posted in the IBM website support the PS3 as well. The IBM BladeCenter QS22 has 2 cell processors inside. The software is compatible with the PS3. You have to install the cell sdk prior to ...

This is great news! Cell now supports opencl. I installed the OpenCL Development Kit in my ps3. The Julia set sample outputs to the ps3 framebuffer with minor modifications to the Makefile. Here is a link to the IBM website. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=281018&ts...

There is a great introductory article about programming the cell at the IBM site. The code at the end for the article answers your question about passing data from PPE to the SPEs. The only drawback is the article uses libspe library. Few months ago, I ported the code to use libspe2. Here is the lin...

I changed the line of code to
#define GPU_CMD_BUF_SIZE (2 * 1024 * 1024)
and run the demo, but all I get is a blank screen.

I am running firmware 2.42

Demo 1.0 works without a glitch.

The example you mention uses libspe and the CELL sdk 3.0 uses libspe2. You will have to upgrade the code.

Read this article, it will help you understand.

Can someone fix the “view svn” option on the main page. The past few days, I've been getting the following warning. Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Look at the list of your ROM dump.

Name ? Size ?
---------- ---- ----- -----
ROMDIR 80 1584 0
EXTINFO 0 2028 0

The second entry is the extended info. It defines long names for the BIOS modules.

Here is the structure

struct romfs_dirent {
char name[10];
short ext_size; // Size of the extended info
int size; // Size in bytes
};

When I first run your program, I only saw a diagonal line. After that the program did not respond. I was somewhat concern that it was malicious code. I started disecting the binary file just to make sure that the program did not do anything funny. It looked ok so I decided to run it again. The secon...

I found that page before posting, but it's not a lot of use as that DMA magic is hidden in macros (e.g. UPDATE_LOCAL) which are not given on the page he describes. He doesn't provide a link to the source he bases his example on, so I did a google code search for them but came up with nothing. The D...

look at this site
http://www.stolk.org/ps3/

The sample there is actually a port of one the samples from the CELLSDK. He ported it to use libspe2 and he's doing DMA transfers. I tested the sample and it compiles and that's what it claims.

The sources are on DVD # 2 of the Playstation2 linux Kit. The good news is that the second DVD is all GPL and can be distributed at will. I own a set of discs but I don't have a site to host the packages.

I have used ee-dvp-as from the PS2Linux kit in native ps2 elfs. It works like a charm. Last time I checked, they were binaries available for download from the Playstation2-linux website. There is also vumacros.h which contains useful VU macros as the name implies. Try these links Under Cygwin ------...

I am also running Yellow Dog Linux 5.0 dated 1208 (kernel 2.6.16) I managed to install the Cell BE 2.0 SDK. The installation was a little tricky. I wrote some notes about it but I do not have access to them at the moment. The general idea is you need to install about 5 or 6 rpms that do not get inst...

This is really exciting. I am impressed with the joystick manipulation in your program. About two weeks ago, I posted a question in the PS2linux forums about not being able to use the controller under PS3Linux. I did not get an answer at the time. Well, you indirectly answered my question. Thanks a ...

Besides the library entry, you need to know what specific IOP module(s) the irx is calling. For example SIO2MAN, SYSCLIB etc. Once you know the IOP module and library entry, just look in /ps2sdk/iop/kernel/src/*.s and you will find out the information you're looking for. I am not sure if this is wha...

Browsing SVN through the web is not working
http://svn.ps2dev.org/
I could not browse the repository through the web and I assumed it was not working. If I use the svn command, I can list and checkout projects.

Thanks for all your responses.

Someone should fix the web portion of SVN.

I am trying to browse the SVN repository and I keep getting this error message:

Error running this command: svnlook youngest '/home/svn/ps2'

Can someone look into this?

Thanks,
Carlos

I compiled successfully luaplayer.elf Whenever I run the elf, I get the power by Lua on the screen and I can't get passed this point. My output on the console looks like this: loadelf: fname host:luaplayer.elf secname all Input ELF format filename = host:luaplayer.elf 0 00100000 001be194 ..............

I am having problems compiling PS2 LuaPlayer. It's looking for a file "sound.h" that is not in the source. Looking at the Makefile, it also requires "sound.cpp"
Are these files part of a different library or are they missing in SVN?

Thanks,

Carlos
