Eda - No Eagle For Arm But Kicad Is Quite Fine

I do some electronic projects for fun.
Till now I was using Eagle to prepare pcb.
But there is no eagle for arm

So i started to use KiCAD. Main problem with it is a lack of element libraries.
I found a nice way to transfer eagle libraries to kicad format.
Just download eagle, install it on x86.
Then get ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/userfiles/ulp/...2kicad-0.9b.ulp script, put it in eagledir/ulp
Run eagle, open desired library, there is a load of them, and click on "ULP" icon, select script (I renamed it to _eagle2kicad-0.9b.ulp to have it on first place), check Draw pin names and Draw pin numbers (that can be set in script), select place to put output files and run script.

Then, result files should be put in /usr/share/kicad/libraries and modules.

For now I have about 30 libraries exported. Did not test them much because i just started to learn kicad.

BTW.
Kicad is quite responsive on netwalker. Will try to check how it behaves on zaurus under zubuntu.

Any one know a nice tutorial on kicad?

Edited:
Just found nice bundle with all eagle libraries recoded:
http://library.oshec.org/
There is also a bundle with all of them pascked together...

Small Useful Informations

Scripts triggered by power/suspend changes are located in /etc/pm
They are triggered twice per change first time with "true" or "false" argument when power change is triggered and second time with "suspend suspend" or "suspend resume" when that change is finishing. That means when you do a full cycle suspend-resume they got triggered four times.
Simply put your script in /etc/pm and link in apropriate directory there and note what is happening.

Its useful to pause and resume mpd or when you dont want to use thick power agent (ie in text mode) to make suspend/resume or backlight change when button is pressed or lid closed/open.

Usb Ethernet Dongle - New Version

I have one usb-ethernet dongle. Its based on pegasus chip.
Working flawlessly under cacko, zubuntu, ubuntu and off course most of windooze.

But recently i got new batch of these and suprise! New ones are based on different chip.
They look similar but have two chips (supereal sr9600 and sr8200) instead of one pegasus II (adm8511) chip.

And ubuntu does not recognize them.

On CD shipped with those dongles are some source code for linux.
Can any one tell if those have chance to work under standard netwalker installation?
Directory with files is zipped and attached to this post.

Reset Button In Netwalker?

Well, I'm not that old but cant see anything what might be a reset button.
I did not pulled that rubber plugs from the bottom of the unit.

Is there a way to do a hard reset? Where is the reset button?

Netwalker Video Performance And Audio Problems.

As I discovered netwalker is quite powerful device and can play full screen video smoothly.
Details are here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sharpne...ker/message/117

In short. After dumping pulseaudio totem player and vlc player started to play video smoothly. But there is a problem:
Video is played too fast.
I dod not have enough time to find out why and how to fix this.
Maybe it has something in common with cpu governor and constant switching between 160MHz and 800MHz?
I have written a nifty script to wisualize how cpu is switched and it shows that in normal conditions cpu can be switched 2-5 times per second between 160 and 800MHz and stays in higher clock for 5-20% of time. Maybe players got confused by this?
I will check this soon...

Any way. It is nice to be here again
