asciilifeform: for the reason described earlier, i have 0 interest in intel's debug
fromloper: The ideal will be if Intel fixes their BIOS, because then it would be a supported option on a mainstream system.
fromloper: I believe USB DCI is only on their Skylake+ U-Series chips which are geared towards mobile and those tend to have soldered SOP8s since they tend to either be laptops or NUCs
mircea_popescu: they've been moving that way slowly but surely hm.
asciilifeform: pro tip: don't buy board with soldered rom
fromloper: I tried both ways :-/
fromloper: I powered it up, which got rid of the overcurrent error, but it couldn't read the chip. Maybe a bad clip and or the TL866a isn't up to the task. Kind of a novice at these things.
asciilifeform: forget the burner's vcc.
asciilifeform: trick is: gotta power up the board
mircea_popescu: you don't have to cut the trace do you ?
fromloper: I tried seeing if I could reprogram it via a TL866a but VCC isn't wired for in system programming and I didn't want to cut the trace on a system I might need to return
asciilifeform: even if they actually take back mutilated boards -- this promises to be slow
mircea_popescu: ah i guess there's thart
fromloper: Chip was soldered on and it's within Amazon's 30 day so easier to return and get one without vPro
mircea_popescu: that seems improbable. tried what he said ?
asciilifeform: fromloper: pull the chip and reflash
mircea_popescu: they actually brick the board ?!
fromloper: There is a bug in Gigabyte's NUCs where they left DCI half enabled. Unfortuntly I bricked the one I had.
asciilifeform: fromloper: intel is mostly a waste of time imho
mod6: sounds like what i'm tryin to get into
asciilifeform: funnily enough, #trilema is wuite likely world's largest sageprobe user group today
fromloper: Also looking at trying to get a Skylake/Kabylake with DCI enabled (JTAG over USB) since that just requires a USB 3 debug cable. The Intel NUC's have a bios setting "Silicon Debug Feature" but although it sets the debug MSR, it doesn't appear to set the PCH register correctly, and the PCH register is locked by the time it gets out of BIOS.
fromloper: The Gizmo Explorer that came with the probe. In theory it supports AMDs VMM extensions
fromloper: Found though google. My main use for the probe is to have a cheap x86 JTAG device for VMM development
asciilifeform: fromloper: out of curiosity, hiw didja find the pill, and for what do you use the probe??
fromloper: Now to see if I can find a gdb that works ;-)
fromloper: Ahh just say the manual you posted, thanks. That was my main concern (power, etc) for the edk
asciilifeform: i posted the raw command set, theoretically you can use entirely straight gdb for any conceivable use of the box.
asciilifeform: decompiles ok , though, so you can crack it without breaking a sweat if you felt like it.
fromloper: Should the probes normal startup status be blinking?
asciilifeform: probably i ought to add this to the article.
asciilifeform: ( sagepill.py always breaks off, because the probe resets!! )
fromloper: Thank so much. Do you know if there is a bypass for the EDK?
asciilifeform: update your gdb and follow the examples on my www.
asciilifeform: it gets patched to match the hardware id of your box
asciilifeform: 'old' is the fw image
asciilifeform: anyway this is proper
fromloper: Looks like the original has scrolled off, so I don't know
asciilifeform: is this from the first run ?
fromloper: One moment.. seeing if I can scrollback that far
asciilifeform: fromloper: also please do as ben_vulpes described, and paste the barf in the paster
asciilifeform: what fw ver was on it before you ran 1st time ?
asciilifeform: unplug the probe and plug back in
fromloper: If I run sage_pill again, it seems to show the old CRCs and lets me update again?
asciilifeform: ( you need the one from 2014 , no earlier )
asciilifeform: you may have to update gcc though
fromloper: raise SerialException('device reports readiness to read but returned no data (device disconnected or multiple access on port?)')
ben_vulpes: fromloper: try using http://p.bvulpes.com/ before you get booted for flooding
fromloper: If I hit enter a couple time ---SmartProbe: 3.2_3743 98:73:c4:00:05:43 0 SmartProbe: 3.2_3743 98:73:c4:00:05:43 0
fromloper: GDB seems to crash with an internal error. Then shows Remote debugging using /dev/ttyACM0 0xffffffff in ?? ()
asciilifeform: also paste the complete barf plz, it got cut off
fromloper: How do I reset the probe?
asciilifeform: fromloper: reset the probe, connect to it, what do you get ?
fromloper: Can anyone help me with sage_pill.py? When I run it, it gets though programming the FPGA, but then dies with: FPGA05: Programming FPGA completed SmartLoadergramming SmartLoader MSG009: Disabling SupportLibrary Traceback (most recent call last): File "./sage_pill.py", line 315, in <module> dump_forever() File "./sage_pill.py", line 251, in dump_forever l = sage.readline() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/seri
mod6: still, was delicious with toasted bun on the grill
mod6: tonight I had another Venison & blue cheese burger... this time I did the heating slightly different.
mod6: Good Evening TMSR~
BingoBoingo: Apparently Macaroon in France got hacked just in time for ballots to be cast.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (unlike eg "biking naked", gardening naked makes a lot of sense. skin washes better than any garment, which is why sane societies have kids under 10 or so in the buff. way the fuck better to step on the anglotard notions of "pudicity" than to crimp the kids' style.) << Notice naked gardening day is not during blackberry harvesting season
mircea_popescu: which incidentally is the ACTUAL golden rule. forget zamak that usually passes for it in the mouths of slaves. the rule is, "do so as to not come to regret doing."
mircea_popescu: really, it's everyone's own and arbitrary job to keep the thing running in such a way as to not come to regret it later.
phf`: a half empty hall, with old lords, most of them asleep or otherwise engaged in completely unrelated activities, etc.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
phf`: oh i agree, i just thought an irc bouncer as an empty shell painted to look like the owner is amusing, or perhaps an aging lord dosing off
diana_coman: phf`, fwiw I am reading and I usually do; however, I tend to not talk much
mircea_popescu: well, you always gotta strike a balance. if you keep people physically in a room to listen to what you say as youi say it, they will go mad. they're present in a specific sort of ghost form.
phf`: this is a proper house of lords, there's a quorum, but most of the "present" members are "asleep"
mircea_popescu: but i certainly don't delegate the authority to some bouncer. wtf is this, the chinese imperial court ?
phf`: i take it, you don't use a bouncer, it's a long running xchat from your bunker?
mircea_popescu: or set a timer or whatever.
phf`: perhaps i could make the bouncer !!down after some time, when there's no client connection (similar to how right now it sets an Away)
mircea_popescu: there is a problem with long lived connections. what if you lose the terminal ?
phf`: i feel like i have to do it roughly once a year, in fact, every time freenode changes their ssl. i listened to the advice of the wise this time and switched to plain text
mircea_popescu: phf` it's easy if you're used to it.
lobbesbot: Logged on 2017-05-06 18:35:42: <mihi> wrote a (pretty incomplete) Wireshark dissector script for the Eulora protocol, if anybody is interested: https://gist.github.com/schierlm/a10b89e011f8baf646cb0cb674a48241
phf`: some mission impossible shit right there, up yourself in 30 seconds (no gpg automation!) before the nickserv force change non-identified nick
lobbes: <mircea_popescu> [17:38:46] possibly the poster child of ustardation, the spellchecker << somewhat-related lulzy ad. "Are your customer service monkeys illiterate? There's an app for that!11" >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-Y56SfkS0
mircea_popescu: possibly the poster child of ustardation, the spellchecker. "it helps" by resolving the 80% of the problem, which shouldn't even exist, because the sort of people whom it helps have no fucking business writing anything ever in any case.
mircea_popescu: and we're not even talking about the cases where the writer ISN'T FUCKING MONOLINGUAL like some sort of esl mongoloid. good luck with that.
mircea_popescu: basically it's 95% fail hits, most because no vocabulary. i don't think it'd pass the baccalaureate. wtf is wrong with people
mircea_popescu: this isn't even counting the failures of pretense, like supposedly chinese is misspelled because hey, gotta have capital, or organised is misspelled because hey, somebody cares what harvard thinks.
mircea_popescu: and holy shit what the fuck IS EVEN THE POINT of spell checkers. today it says pudicity is misspelled, yesterday it said vagal is misspelled, day before that earworm was misspelled, and unverbalizable and paddlings, and slavegirl and peni and snuck for fuck's sake. and on it fucking goes.
shinohai is all for any holiday that involves nudity.,,,
mircea_popescu: (unlike eg "biking naked", gardening naked makes a lot of sense. skin washes better than any garment, which is why sane societies have kids under 10 or so in the buff. way the fuck better to step on the anglotard notions of "pudicity" than to crimp the kids' style.)
mircea_popescu: o wow they have that ?
shinohai: Happy World Naked Gardening Day BingoBoingo .... I trust you will celebrate in style.
BingoBoingo: Sam will have the asian style noodles in cuck sauce
mircea_popescu: aite, that sold me. ima make pasta in white sauce tomorrow.

mircea_popescu: anyway. three fucking kings did john, duke of marlborough make. just like warwick centuries prior.
mircea_popescu: well, latin idea originally, but anyway. latins couldn't bring themselves to care. i can readily see why.
mircea_popescu: possibly the best piece re englishittery, that story. the normans were fucking right and truly should have exterminated that most miserable race.
mircea_popescu: guy brought back the whole of the spanish colonial empire, england indian-gifted him a shitty palace.
mircea_popescu: shmucky mcschmuckson has the utmost respect for us as novel writers, note.
mircea_popescu: yes, but who were our victims ? we call ourselves web developers (we do ?) but what about all the wealth and priviledge ?!?!?!
mod6: wow. that sounds awesome too.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i had cashew paste (little butter, hint of balsamic, fenilgreek and tarragon) salmon. with a very fine bottle of chianti. just waking up from the food coma.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reddit commoner existed in the time of orwell just as well.
mircea_popescu: what duke of this called himself "a warrior" and what the holy fuck, i thought this guy was supposed to be literate ? wtf happened at, say, agincourt ?
mod6: it's hard to do venison right, but when it's good, it's really good.
