Ever since I've become mod we've been getting bombarded with staff applications, so I've decided to outline the general criteria for becoming a mod in this thread.
Becoming a HTS Staff Member
HTS is slowly coming back and HTS v5 is around the corner (more accurately, several corners). Because of this, we are going to need more staff members. What does this mean? This means we need more qualified, active staff members. This does not mean we're going to hire every user who has enough time to be a staff member.
Important: Being a staff member requires more than the ability to moderate. This entire website is devoted to technology, so naturally, our members must be technologically fluent. We can't have staff members that don't know anything about the topics they are moderating for several reasons - first of all, they have to look professional, second, they won't be able to moderate/administrate appropriately, and finally, staff members have to be posting correct and helpful information so that users are not misled (after all, a staff member's information is a lot more likely to be believed than a regular user's).
Activity is also a must. You must show you are dedicated to the forums/site and aren't going to leave every other week to take a break. This does not mean you must post on every topic after every reply from every user - it simply means you should be checking the forums every day. Being a staff member is a responsibility, and is about much more than a username with a pretty color. As a staff member, it's your job to keep the site running smoothly.
To be a staff member, you need technological expertise, activity, maturity, and experience. As I've already stated, we don't want unqualified members. We don't want to discourage people from applying, but you should recognize when is the right time to apply and when is not the right time. You need to be qualified. "I don't know much but I'm active" will not hold up.
In short, apply when you believe you are ready to handle the responsibility of a staff member and are able to provide help to those in need. One of the two won't fly - you have to be both responsible and capable of helping members.
This thread isn't directed at any particular users. The point of the thread is to recognize the criteria required to become a staff member and make sure you fit the criteria before applying. Remember that the majority of staff members were selected to become a staff member.
A warning: don't start posting with the intent to look good and eventually become a staff member. Post with the intent to help people and keep the site alive, and the rest will fall into place. You don't need thousands of posts, but you do need to have good, helpful posts. This does not mean you can't engage in forum banter or ever wander off topic - it means that when it's time to help, you should be helping, and when it's time to play, you should go outside play.
Finally, remember that we are not trying to discourage people from applying, but rather are trying to encourage people to know when they are ready to become a staff member.

American Hernandez injured as crashes mar women's snowboardcross
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — Two women's snowboardcross riders were taken off the course on stretchers after accidents during women's Olympic qualifying on Sunday.
Jackie Hernandez of the US was nearing the end of the course when she was knocked unconscious after slamming her head into the snow at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Hernandez, 21, briefly sat up after several minutes and was communicating with medics before being transported down the mountain.
Hernandez, making her Olympic debut, was diagnosed with a concussion and was treated and released. Hernandez sustained a concussion while racing in Austria in December but was released following a series of exams.
The crash came minutes after Helene Olafsen of Norway was also taken off the course with an injury. Olafsen hurt her knee about a third of the way into her run. The other 22 riders during the first heat were able to navigate the course unscathed.
"It's always a big bummer when you see some of your friends go down and get injured and you never really know because you're kind of just sitting there," said Lindsey Jacobellis of the US, who was eliminated in the semifinals. "I try to zone out and focus on what I've got to do."
The accidents came a day after Russian skicross racer Maria Komissarova sustained a spinal injury during training on the same slope.

For 40 years, Claudia Raab of Mt Airy has been collecting world textiles. Her periodic "Avante Yarde Sales" at her home on Carpenter Lane were near-famous among a circle of several hundred devotees.
This weekend — Oct. 26-28 — she will sell a major chunk of her collection at a pop-up shop in West Mt Airy. Now 62, she has "decided to go Zen … and simplify." The shop will be open Friday, 5-7 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 9-6 p.m., at the Greene on Greene building in West Mt Airy.
She will be joined by several other specialized collectors. The event coincides with a big vintage/industrial Open Air Market down the street, organized by Philadelphia Salvage Company at its emporium and its neighboring lumber yard.
As Claudia recalled in an interview this week at her colorful home in Mt Airy, by the time she was in kindergarten her mother, Anita Raab Mednick, dressed her in world clothing — embroidered blouses from Oaxaca, silver tribal jewelry from Rajastan and smocked dresses from a Polish seamstress in their Elkins Park neighborhood. Anita was similarly festooned.
As a teenager, Claudia swathed herself in ethnic clothing and jewelry, bold African prints, long Indian earrings, hand-stitched Romanian coats and as much embroidery as she could apply to her body at one time.
"I am an embroidery fiend," she said, laughing.
This day she was wearing antique Berber bracelets and vintage Mexican earrings while she delivered the first installment of materials in anticipation of the upcoming pop up event: She had just hung a gypsy mirrored dress from the Banjara tribe in northern India in the display window facing Greene Street by Carpenter Lane.
In her 20s, she took courses in weaving and textiles at Penland Crafts School, near Asheville, North Carolina. "It made me much more aware of how everything was made. I learned to spin and dye and all sorts of modern sculptural techniques as well as early styles of needlework."
Over the years, she has brought back textiles and folk art from travels in Haiti, India and Pakistan, Southeast Asia, Peru, Bolivia and regularly scouted the burgeoning folk art markets in the U.S. From 1990-92, she was the proprietor of what "the small-and-crammed" Erzuli Folk Art in Chestnut Hill.
She is selling many of the pieces she has saved and savored for herself over the years. From Bolivian milkmaid beaded jackets to Haitian voodoo flags to fine block print cottons from India and Hungarian redwork embroideries, they will be on sale throughout the weekend.
A singer and performer herself, Claudia quickly learned to play musical instruments during her travels, including the Bolivian "charango," a small, eight-stringed, guitar-like instrument with an armadillo shell for the body; and "bombo," a huge drum with a goat skin head.
She also sings folk music from over the world. Andean music particularly appeals to her, although early American music has become a more recent favorite.
Claudia will be on hand to tell you the history of each piece she has collected.
"You just don't see this kind of work anymore," Claudia said. "A lot of this material represents the traditions that have since diminished."
Joining Claudia will be a longtime colleague of Claudia's, Dave Miller, the Andalusia Bookman, from Andalusia, Pennsylvania. A rare book dealer, he will be selling a selection of vintage paper ephemera and old books.
Full disclosure: Your writer confesses that before the interview ended, I purchased a pair of Hmong farmers pants, embroidered with intense fields of cross-stitching. Someone loved that farmer and the land they cultivated.
Also, Saturday's "Fall Revelry" down the street at 522 Carpenter Lane will feature, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 14 creative, local and industrial producers will sell their wares. For more information, call 215-842-1040 or email@example.com.

/Wrists: We missed Immortal for another week.
I was not on that side so I didn't see it happen, but several people said that he was behind the ice block. Some people are suggesting that it is a bug because of where the ice block was standing. When Sapp goes up in the air we collapse towards the head so that if bad luck strike and Sapp only does Ice blocks on one side that we can run and to the other side and get behind a block.
Well this block was on the stairs going towards KT, and apparently the person that got killed was a little higher then the block and got hit.
To make matters worse KT went perfectly.
This is so freaken nerve racking it sucks. Hopefully we have another week to get it. I would hate to get so close so many times to miss it.

We had someone die on Sapph last night to the same problem, he was definitely behind, and well ahead of the breath (it wasn't a case of him jumping in at the last minute) but he dropped dead.
This is why I don't like the Immortal achievement. I appreciate the INTENTION of the achievement, that the intention is that it takes skill and precision to complete.. but in reality it is only partly skill. When an entire week's effort is destroyed by bad luck, bugs, or stability problems, it's just infuriating.

Good luck with it! I think you'll be right for another 2 weeks, yet!
- March 26, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Cheerin for ya man.
- March 26, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Hi, the way our guild did Sapp - to avoid ice block on only 1 side - is for the entire raid to be spread out ONLY on the left side of the area. Basically, left of KT entrance where it is flat and yet it will serve the same purpose. Minor change but it will definitely help in my opinion.
- March 26, 2009 at 4:03 AM
Good luck mate. All the best for the achievement and the dragon! As we chinese say Jia You! Lazer Turkey shall overcome all
- March 26, 2009 at 4:19 AM
Sometimes it looks like you are behind, but you´re not. The way to check this is trying to use some spell on sapph, if you have the message "out of line of sight" then you safe. I know sometimes, or some classes, might not have range enought to this test. but so far is the best I could find
- March 26, 2009 at 7:54 AM
Heya Graylo - It's not funny about that one death on Sapph but I'm surprised that your raiders didn't know about that bug - if a raider is behind an iceblock and is on a different level (like that outer edge around the room, or the stairs), they *will* get hit by the breath. We just call the people that die to that "Peeping Toms" because it's like they're peeping out from the iceblock and get slammed in the face XD.
Good luck next week : )

I had the same thing happen to me last night, but it was the 3rd last boss and someone epic failed on Thaddius :(
- March 26, 2009 at 9:52 AM
As others mentioned, if the ice blocked person is on the snow by the entrance, then you will end up being higher than the block and get nailed. You need to stay in the actual room on flat ground.
I don't know if this is an actual bug as much as the game mechanics in terms of height.
Good luck next week!

This is why achievements can suck. I won't pretend to give you advice on how to enjoy a video game, but if I did it would involve suggesting relaxation.

I sympathize! We decided not to try for the Immortal in our 25-man raid (we'd have to bench our Australian contingent, who die to lag several times a raid), but have been working on the Undying in a dedicated, 10-man group. We lost it last week to a combination of server lag and an unlucky iceblock with 6% left to go on Kel'thuzad. It's a thoroughly nerve-wracking experience.
- March 26, 2009 at 1:40 PM
- Bova said...
We had a similar tragedy while attempting our second Undying group in 10 man Naxx. With only 3 bosses after Gluth our warlock with full health had a stam buff fall off at the same time as decimate and it killed him instantly. The rest of the bosses went flawlessly...
- March 26, 2009 at 2:11 PM
We lost the undying last week in KZ. Void spawned in main tank -> main tank disconnected at that exact same moment -> Main tank died. I hate this achievement…
- March 27, 2009 at 7:04 AM
- Cerista said...
Ouch! There are no words for how much that sucks. Better luck next week. Seems like you guys are getting closer and closer every week. Maybe next week will finally get it for you. :)
- March 27, 2009 at 9:01 AM
It's such a dumb achievement. I'm not much of an achievement person myself. I've been playing the game so long now that the novelty of limited items and stuff like this wears off eventually. However, I really wish they didn't have stuff like this. I'm all for boss specific achievements or achievements for clearing the dungeon, but this one particular achievement causes so much stress and drama. That and these achievements for killing bosses with a less then full raid (but that's a whole different story).
As others have stated all this achievement does is force people to not participate due connection problems or similar issues. Bugs, lag, and the random number generator can spoil 25 peoples week of fun. I think the big downer for people is that you can't try again for a week. If you want to try Sarth 3d you can get as many tries as you really want in a week, but with Immortal/Undying it's one screw up and your done.
I guess I'm all for adding achievements that provide repeated chances when it comes to dungeons, but the drama this one and a few others cause is really frustrating. It's no fun for me to play with people who want this stuff and then I have to hear fights or how sad they are cause they can't get something they've worked hard for.

Primer Design for Standard PCR Assays
Primer Premier is the most comprehensive software to design and analyze PCR primers.
Primer Premier s search algorithm finds optimal PCR, multiplex, SNP genotyping and degenerate primers with the most accurate melting temperature using the nearest neighbor thermodynamic algorithm. Primers are screened for secondary structures, dimers, hairpins, homologies and physical properties before reporting the best ones for your sequence, in ranked order. Equipped with a handy calculator, you can easily manipulate sequences and analyze the results of your primer design.
Load the gene of interest from NCBI, select a search range, sit back and let Primer Premier pick the best possible primers for you.
Primer Design for SNP Genotyping Assays
With Primer Premier, you can load sequences from dbSNP and have the primers designed flanking the SNP selected. Hundreds of unpublished SNPs can also be loaded by specifying them as variation features in standard GenBank/dbSNP files. After specifying the SNPs, primers can be designed to amplify them for detection using a probe-based chemistry.
Multiplex Primer Design
For a multiplex experiment, Primer Premier enables you to design multiplex primers by launching a primer search in batch mode and then checking the cross reactivity of the primers designed. Primer Premier checks for all the possible reactivity and displays the most stable structure formed by each oligo. This functionality reduces false priming and ensures a strong signal strength.
Automatic Homology & Template Structure Avoidance
Primer Premier automatically interprets the BLAST search results and avoids those regions to design primers that have significant cross homologies with the database. These homologous regions are highlighted in the sequence view and are avoided during primer search.
Primer extension may be hindered due to the presence of template structures at extension temperature. To avoid all such regions, where the template may fold upon itself, the program utilizes a proprietary algorithm to check for possible secondary structures within the template at a folding temperature you specify. The regions involved in the formation of a secondary structure are underlined in the sequence view and are avoided while designing primers.
Avoiding homologous regions makes the oligos highly specific and avoiding template structures improves the efficiency of the designed primers.

Indigo Dye Kit
This kit makes natural dyeing with indigo quick and easy! The Jacquard Indigo Dye kit uses pre-reduced indigo, so you only soak your yarn in the indigo mixture for a few minutes. When you take your yarn out of the dye bath, it oxidizes and the color changes from green to blue! To create a deeper blue color, dip your yarn in the dye bath again. Dye your yarn a solid color, or create patterns such as an ombre or tie dyed effect. You can dye 5 pounds of yarn or fabric with the dye included in this kit. This dye works on both plant and animal fibers. The Jacquard Indigo Dye kit contains indigo dye, a reducing agent, 1 pair of gloves, wood pieces, 2 sizes of rubber bands, and an instruction booklet.

Staff Predictions: Central Michigan vs. Miami (Ohio)
The Central Michigan Life football reporters weigh in on their expectations for the week-12 matchup between the Central Michigan Chippewas (4-6) and the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks (4-6) Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
Ryan Zuke (5-5)
I still don't trust the CMU defense, especially against the second-ranked passing offense in the MAC. But I think the importance of this game for the program and Dan Enos will carry CMU to victory Saturday. It might not be pretty, but I say the Chippewas get the job done. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff and senior receiver Cody Wilson will hook up for a couple touchdowns, and running back Zurlon Tipton will have another big day en route to a victory. Prediction: CMU 38, Miami 34.
Matt Thompson (6-4)
Dan Enos talked about how Zac Dysert is the best quarterback in the league and an NFL prospect – he is the reason I think CMU's bowl eligibility chances will end Saturday on senior day. The emotions from the seniors playing their last game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium and an early interception will keep CMU in the game until the fourth quarter when Dysert will throw two touchdown passes. Senior Cody Wilson will end his career at home with a receiving and rushing touchdown, though. Prediction: Miami 34, CMU 24.
Brandon Champion (7-3)
Saturday's bowl elimination game should be a close, high-scoring game. Miami is a pass-heavy team, and CMU has struggled to defend the pass at times this season. Zac Dysert will probably have a big game, as will CMU quarterback Ryan Radcliff, but I think Miami will score in the red zone more often. The Chippewas will battle, but, in the end, they'll lose on senior day and see its bowl aspirations disappear for another year. Prediction: Miami 31, CMU 28.
Justin Hicks (6-4)
Miami's run offense is dead last in the MAC, averaging 86.2 yards per game. While CMU's isn't much better, ranked 10th of 13, it will be matching up against the second-worst rushing defense in the conference Saturday. If the Chippewas are wise, they will capitalize, handing the ball to Zurlon Tipton all day. He and the rest of the offense will need a big day to keep up with quarterback Zac Dysert and, unfortunately for the seniors, I don't think it will. Prediction: Miami 41, CMU 31.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
DuPont (DD - Free DuPont Stock Report) was originally founded in 1802 as a manufacturer and supplier of gunpowder. The company grew very quickly, and by the mid-19th century, it was the largest supplier of gunpowder to the U.S. military, which undoubtedly helped the Union during the Civil War. DuPont continued to expand into the production of smokeless powder and dynamite.
Its purchase of several chemical companies in the early 20th century resulted in greater government scrutiny under the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Justice Department argued that these acquisitions and the company's position as a dominant manufacturer of explosives were a monopoly. The courts agreed, and ordered the divestiture of Hercules Powder Company and Atlas Powder Company. Following this, DuPont looked for new areas into which it could expand. The company established two of the first industrial laboratories in the United States, where they began working on non-explosive products, including cellulose chemistry and lacquers.
In the 1920s and 1930s, DuPont continued to focus on materials science. Research in polymers resulted in important breakthroughs, such as the development of neoprene (synthetic rubber) and nylon.
The company was an important producer of supplies during World War II. Manufacturers used nylon in hundreds of products during this period. In addition, DuPont played an important role in the Manhattan Project. Following the war, the company continued to develop new materials, including Mylar, Tyvek, and Vespel. Its materials proved very important in the Apollo Project of the United States space program. In addition, the company developed Kevlar in 1965. This high-strength material is used in a wide variety of products, including bicycle tires, sports equipment, and modern body armor.
DuPont has built a powerful brand name over the past two centuries. Indeed, the company has proven quite successful at popularizing the brands of its material products. Today, DuPont is one of the largest chemicals companies in the world. It is a science and technology company engaged in a wide range of disciplines, including high-performance materials, electronics, safety and security, and biotechnology. The company serves a wide variety of markets, including automotive, construction, agricultural, protective apparel, electronics, and nutrition. As of December 31, 2012, it had about 70,000 employees and operations in over 90 countries, with roughly 60% of consolidated net sales made to customers outside of the United States. The stock is a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow 30).
Major competitors include diversified industrial companies, such as Dow Chemical (DOW) and BASF SE. DuPont's intellectual property estate is an important source of competitive advantage. The company owns approximately 25,635 patents worldwide, with roughly 20,925 patent applications. Research and development remains important for this technology-oriented company. Indeed, R&D expense was almost $2.1 billion for 2012.
DuPont operates in the cyclical chemicals industry, which is influenced by broader economic trends. The company has usually benefited the most during periods of increasing economic activity. Its earnings have fluctuated over the past fifteen years, with periods of solid performance typically followed by one or two years of bottom-line contraction during times of economic weakness. Productivity improvements and effective cost management assume greater importance during such periods.
The company appears well-positioned to benefit from several important megatrends in the coming years. This includes increased demand for food production, alternative energy, environmental solutions, and products that enhance personal safety. Much of this broad-based growth will probably occur in international markets. Furthermore, DuPont's recent acquisition of Danisco should serve to establish the company as a leader in the field of industrial biotechnology.
In sum, DuPont is a stable company with solid growth prospects. Over time, it should benefit from growth in the global economy and its exposure to emerging markets, though there may be some volatility along the way.
At the time of this article's writing, the author did not have positions in any of the companies mentioned.

How come more HAUPPAUGE that have MPEG2 Hardware support acording to HAUPPAUGE dont apear on this site as working.. HAUPPAUGE WIN TV-PVR USB2 says its got MPEG2 hareware "Turn your PC into a Digital TV recorder. Record TV programmes or home videos using high quality MPEG-2 hardware compression!"
Im looking to build a MythTV system but i want the a good card, good meaning good and cheap. As I've only found one card that this site says has hardware mpeg2 support but it costs about £50
- This wiki is currently focused towards digital devices. The wintv-pvr usb2 is strictly an analog device. Any information on it should appear in the V4L wiki. However, there isn't any info on it even in there. Why not? Because wiki's depend upon user submitted information. No submissions, no information. Its as simple as that. Anyway, you can find info about the pvrusb2 devices on www.isely.net. If you want an internal PCI based hardware mpeg2 encoding solution, then look to IVTV. In the future, the V4L and DVB wikis will be merged, but for now exist as two separate entities. Perhaps after the merger (no exact time frame for completion), the other information sources could also be drawn into the fold. However, that would be entirely up to agreement from those projects. --CityK 20:37, 19 September 2007 (CEST)
I think the Afatech section shouldn't be here, instead a separated page for it and here the devices themselves, for example its difficult to find that the Avermedia Volar X is supported because it doesn't appear in the index. One who knows that it have an Afatech 9015 could find it, but the rest of the users? --howl 2:08, 2 January 2009 (CET)
- I think the whole page is a bloody mess! Its a wonder anyone can find anything on it. Silly DVB-T users, can't they do anything right :P --CityK 03:07, 8 January 2009 (CET)
Bloody Mess
Regarding the bloody mess... I am willing to put some work into reorganizing it but I would like to have some input before I start. Any suggestions about the format the page should have?
I am a strong advocate of a clean table with maybe only three columns.
|device name
|foo inc.
|bar dvb-t receiver
|kernel (>=2.6.16)+fw?
|bar ltd.
|goo dvb-t receiver
|mainline dvb
|something tiny
|mini foo
manufacturer is of little informational value to the developers but helps locating devices for the mortal user.
device name would be a link to a page that would hold the whole messy details that now clutter the page. There is no need for one page per device. I'd call the page something like DVB-T_USB_Devices_drivername and current sections with their small tables and the stuff that is above and sometimes below the table would be moved to those pages.
supported would be
- either the a kernel version from which the device is supported out of the box (firmware link where needed).
- mainline if it was supported in the main v4l-dvb repository sources
- experimental if there is a special branch for that device that is not yet merged into main, or an external source repository.
- mixed if the device is sold under the same name with different hardware. details are on the device page to which mixed would also link.
--- Hlangos 01:36, 7 April 2009 (CEST)
- * Have a look at the ATSC device tables.
- * The list of devices should be alphabetical by manufacturer ... as you can see organization along the lines of usb bridge categorization was a HUGE mistake
- * There IS a need for one page per device -- this is precisely where the messy details belong and discussions about that particular device ... devices can be highly dissimilar despite a shared commonality of using the same bridge IC --- and, in fact, even when two devices entirely use the exact same components, they can still differ enough (i.e. GPIO pin configurations) that having a single page does not do justice in regards as to describing how to get either of the particular devices working etc...--CityK 21:46, 12 April 2009 (CEST)
- * The ATSC device table is nice but with 15 devices it is relatively small. In DVB-T USB Devices we are dealing with 70+ devices? Oh, wait, dib0700 alone supports close to 40 devices and that does not count OEM devices that use the same USB IDs. Forget 70+, I guess we are dealing with more than 150 devices. I don't see anybody with the time to research the amount of detail that is in the ATSC table for each of those devices. :-) As that information will definitely be part of a more detailed page (be it a driver centric or a device centric page) I'd rather not duplicate it here.
- * Listing alphabetic by manufacturer is fine with me. How do we deal with OEM devices that differ only by the name printed on the box? I'd list them with that new name but link to the original device page where a short list could show the different names that the device is sold under. After that the technical details of that device could follow.
- * One page per device makes sense if devices differ sufficiently. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Take the "LiteOn USB DVB-T TV Tuner", the "Intuix Tv Tuner Tnt S800" and the "Toshiba USB DVB-T Tuner PX1211E-1TVD". They are all the same device, just rebranded. Then take a look at the MSI_DigiVox_mini_II_V3.0 . The only things on that page special to that device are the remote control parameter and the list of owners. Other than that everything applies to the other af9015 devices and could help users of other af9015 devices a long way. Thats why I'd propose to have the different devices that use more or less the same hardware on one page. There sections could be devoted to the particularities of each device but a general section could deal with driver issues. Having different sections would also create a TOC that would list the supported devices. If we add a page for each any every little device we end up with thousands of pages that hardly contain any information. Not to speak of current information. Or am I too pessimistic about it? Hlangos 14:55, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
- For devices that are simply just OEM rebrands, then you could set up one page for housing the info and redirects for the others to that page. If, in the case like the af9015 devices, the information is equally applicable to the other devices, just use a template for that information and apply it across the different device articles. --CityK 04:55, 17 April 2009 (CEST)
I could do with a little help regarding Templates and Tables. Adding supported information into the comment field is not satisfactory. Also adding the vendor name into the device field is not a good idea in the long run. In a perfect world I would like to have a Table that contains all the information that Template:DvbDeviceCommented entries contain, plus a vendor and supported field. But the only columns visible by default should be vendor, device, and supported. The other fields should be hidden by default but accessible without going into edit mode. If this is possible we might need a new content type for Template:DvbDeviceList named Template:DvbDeviceSupported. This would allow moving most of the content that already is here into one table with minimal editing and without losing information that we currently have in the table. This table should obviously be sortable by the user but I guess thats no big deal. --Hlangos 14:20, 22 April 2009 (CEST)
I moved this sample over to the talk page in order to discuss and modify this before adding one more layer of confusion to the article :-)

- I like the general appearance better than the current one. more open space, less crammed.
- agreed
- formating information naturally needs to go into a template so that editors can concentrate on content.
- yes, I agree that ideally one should just be able to add their content without worrying about table formating etc etc
- sortable table is the way to go but I've read that there are limitations regarding colspan and rowspan. So we are a little limited there but sorting capability is worth it.
- yes, sortable definitely ... I am ignorant of the limitations
- here's the detailed information on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_markup#Sorting
- we definitely need to hide columns. Here is an example of how to do it with CSS and JS. I am not sure if we can do that in
a mediawiki though. As an alternative we may be able to put the table content into a separate article and include that article into two different articles. One article for the lowly user that contains a table template that would hide the details and one article for the developer or interested geek that would show all the details. The data for both articles would be kept in one place only and therefore be much easier to maintain. I think Conditional tables are one way of getting the result we need.
- I don't know about "definitely" need to hide columns -- it all depends on the amount of detail that is to be included. The e.g. you provided shows some promise for some applications. No idea about ability to incorporate it into Mediawiki, though (I'm answering as I go), at a glance, it looks like you may have discovered how to later on. Okay, I see where you are going ... and yes, there is a lot of utility in that idea ...
- After working on the first scale try at HLPlayground2 I realized that a lot of data is duplicated between the overview table at DVB-T USB Devices and the device specific pages and most of the duplicated data was out of sync. I would therefor suggest to include a lot of detail in the data but only show a subset of this detail on the overview page. The device article would contain a wider view (more columns) of the table but only the relevant rows (i.e. the rows that contain the device(es) that the article is about). Then, if e.g. somebody opens up his device and finds out exactly which type of demodulator is inside, he can decide to edit the table that is embedded in a device specific article or the overview table on DVB-T USB Devices. In either case he gets forwarded to the data storing template and thus updates the data wherever it is used.
- regarding details:
- how much detail do we want/need here? In my vision this page becomes the go-to-place for lowly linux users to check if a device is supported at all (preferably before buying it). details for driver developers should either be hidden by default or go to a separate page. IMHO the default would be vendor, model, supported, picture. Using 'supported' instead of 'supported since' would allow to include information on unsupported devices in the same dataset. I've seen devices in the unsupported section of the page that already had experimental support. Having them in the same dataset would avoid some duplicates and wrong entries.
- i like the tuner, demodulator in one column and usb bridge in separate columns. looks good and especially the separate usb bridge allows to sort in a way that is similar to the way the page is organized now.
- I think that your default case would be too limited unless its made really clear that the table is expandable/collapsable for other details ... a lot of people like seeing the IC info and the ability to compare it across devices -- that said, I note that there is a wider audience then just "lowly linux users" on one side and "driver developers" on the other side; specifically, plenty of grey users in between ... but anyways, that's the whole point of the exercise -- nailing down what an acceptable level of detail would be (i.e. appreciable to the target audiences) ... this is probably something that would be best answered by a wider audience (like the mail list -- a poll of what people deem appropriate .. and hopefully not run into the classic case of too many differing opinions over what is considered appropriate. .... just remembered something else too, that is entirely applicable to this discussion -- M.Krufky had expressed, several months back, an interest in integrating a support database. I didn't really have a feel for what he was intending, but would hate to waste either his or our time by making large sets of changes for nothing -- as its my opinion that the easist to integrate and manage (both from user and admin points of view) solution should be adopted .... I haven't heard anything further on this, so will have to check with him
- Ok, and please point him to the HLPlayground2 page.
- on "supported" ... this is a difficult point, cause sometimes support means partial (like as in OTA digital is now supported, but we haven't yet added cable yet or analog support ) ... though, even when explicitly stated, I still see end users making mistakes along the lines of "I thought this device was fully supported ? blah blah blah ")...
- I guess we'll have to live with that kind of misunderstanding. The comment field could be used for remarks and the device specific article should handle the rest.

- the analog feature might as well go into the comments. there are few devices and analog tv is going to go the way of the mammoth anyway. I liked analog a lot but .. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
- careful -- analog TV is just one aspect, analog video inputs is another ... additionally, I'd think that the number of hybrid devices is more then a few
- Hmmm, ok. We can add a separate variable for it in the data set but in an overview table I would rather make it show up in the comments. ParserFunctions would allow us to only add a Has analog input comment where analog input is present instead of adding Analog input: YES/NO to every device.
- careful -- analog TV is just one aspect, analog video inputs is another ... additionally, I'd think that the number of hybrid devices is more then a few
- If we accept a comments field here (instead of "on the device's page"), we might as well accept pictures. I'd prefer a separate column for it with size and frame settings in the template. Pictures may help users identify their device, or even more important, stop them the frustration when buying a device who's name is the same as a supported one but the device is completely different one. (Yes, there are devices that look the same but aren't but I like pictures, ok ? :-)
- actually, after seeing the pics in the tables you constructed, I like them in the table ... only concern here is that for a good number of devices there might not be a pic, nor do we really want to have users start uploading propietary pics (i.e. ripped of the vendors websited without permission) ... yeah, comments section should probably go on the device page
The result would look something like this:

I want to find a way to separate data and presentation. I can't seem to find a way that will result in a page where editors would only have to deal with the parameters for a new device and users have two different views on the data... something like a structure like this
short table {{DeviceListFrame | content = {{DeviceListData}} }} full detail table {{DeviceListFrame | detail=full | content = {{DeviceListData|detail=full}} }}
Now 'DeviceListFrame' would decide based on the existence of detail whether to include headers for the detail columns. 'DeviceListData' would contain all the parameters like this:
{{Device | detail={{{detail}}} | vendor=[[DViCO]] | device=[[DViCO]]
[[DViCO FusionHDTV USB|DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB]] | type=USB2.0 | fw=dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw | comment=Supported in Kernel since 2.6.?? (probably around 2006) | pic=[http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/Products/DualDigital.aspx] }} {{Device | detail={{{detail}}} | device=Easylite
[[Easylite DVB-T stick|Easylite DVB-T Stick USB 2.0]] | type=USB2.0 | comment=Supported in ?? since ?? }}
Where detail is passed on to the Device template that would finally render the table row.
- This is why I have to get back to M.Krufky, as his idea for the database was essentially that -- easy to add info, no worries/hassles on editing, and lots of database searchability goodness
I tried to implement it in HLPlayground1 but it seems like the Extension ParserFunctions is missing. Without it, there is no if-then-else branching and without branching there is no different usage of the same data.
template based data selection
There still may be another possibility without the ParserFunctions extention. It would mean to pass a template name as a parameter as described here. We would have two different templates for the table header and the table content rows each. One for the table with details. one for the table without details. The template name would have to be passed down to 'DeviceListData' and instead of being used as a value for the detail parameter (detail={{{foo}}}, it would name the template i.e. 'Device' would be replaced by {{{foo}}}.
- Lol. As Johannes said -- Template Voodoo!
- Yeap. Template Voodoo goes a long way. It helps to do get vertical slices (columns) out of the table. Some examples are on HLPlayground2. To go all the way I would also need the Extensions ParserFunctions and StringFunctions. Those would allow to do the horizontal (row wise) slices that I mentioned above.
proof of concept
Can be found at HLPlayground2.
Eureka! I managed to do it as described above. I use ONE data storage with named parameters and for both types of view I use two templates. One for the table headers and one for the table rows. The only thing that is slightly bothering, is the fact that when editing the data you don't get a nice preview. But I guess I can fix that with some noinclude stuff. --Hlangos 17:26, 24 April 2009 (CEST)
- Preview while editing doesn't work since (at least the way i tried it) it requires inclusion of the page that you are still editing. Thus your preview will show the last published state, not the one your are currently producing. But it's better than nothing and keeps the data page from looking crapy. --Hlangos 11:10, 28 April 2009 (CEST)
- Okay, I'm a little confused from above, but I'll head over to the playground, as it looks like you've continued/expanded upon things there --CityK 06:07, 5 May 2009 (CEST)
- Yes. Have a look at HLPlayground2. It contains the proof of concept tables as well as a first scale try with tables of several different degrees of detail. I will probably not add more data until there is some consensus about the degree of detail that the data template should contain and some feedback regarding the semantics. --Hlangos 13:19, 5 May 2009 (CEST)
TOC misleading
the table of contents is very misleasing as it lists only a very small part of the devices supported. I would suggest to remove the toc alltogether and instruct people on how to use their browsers search function.
---Hlangos 13:29, 7 April 2009 (CEST)
- The TOC should contain two sections: Supported and Unsupported (which it does). Correcting the improper entries/properly formating within those sections (as discussed above) would resolve any case of the TOC on this page appearing to be misleading. --CityK 21:46, 12 April 2009 (CEST)
- Ok, then we need to find a way to separate paragraphs with information on different supported/unsupported devices without resorting to sections. Or is there a way to limit the depth of the TOC that is displayed? Hlangos 14:55, 13 April 2009 (CEST)
Devices Order By
There are some devices order by their modulator chip and other ones only by their complete Vendor plus Model name. Now that there is a consistent way to have the information thanks to Hlangos I think that the best order for this page could be first vendor section and then the USB DVB-T models for the vendor, it could be more easy for the users that don't know anything about the chips of his/her product to find if it's supported or not. --howl 18:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed. Order by "vendor + model" should be the default. Unfortunately this can't be done by default. So we'll have to reorganize the data. I'd like to leave that sorting until all the data on this article has been ported over.
- One advantage of having it organized as it is right now (by driver), is the relative ease with which one can add devices that are already in the driver but still missing in the data here. I already did that for the af9005 and af9015 driver and it wasn't all that painful. Just head over to the linux kernel git repository and take a look at the drivers to see whats currently supported. If you feel extra nice, take a look at the driver's history to find out when support for a certain device was added. I've just found out (well, googled) a way to find the kernel version that a certain commit was added to. Just go to the commitdiff than on the raw link. Now you'll see an X-Git-Tag: header with the relevant information. (The manual way is to have a look at the commit date and then compare it with the timestamps of kernel ChangeLog files and hope for the best :-) ) --Hlangos 15:55, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
- I will try to help, but don't promise anything xD --howl 00:43, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Great! BTW, what do you think of the e links in the last column of the low detail table that I included in the Afatech AF9015 article. I am not yet happy with the space that it wastes. Maybe I'll try to shrink it down a bit or merge it into one of the other columns. --Hlangos 10:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yesterday I was thinking about changing the e with a little typical block+pencil icon. I not sure about merging it with another column because the edit will be for the whole row of a given device affecting the edit to all the columns. Another possibility could be an approach like the DVB-T USB page, but with a link relative to the AF9015 section in this case [2]. With the whole edit approach there is a problem, could not be the same solution for all the tables, for example, a table with DVB-T USB devices for the same vendor, there is no way to link to edit only the pertinent devices, or if when finish the devices porting if the order is changed to manufacturer first, the problem will be when trying to provide edit link for whole devices of a chipset. --howl 12:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Changing the "e" to an icon would be great! Go for it! I would have done it but I was to lazy to hunt for an icon. I guess the kde and gnome projects both have lots of useful icons that we are allowed to use. Just make sure you edit both templates: Template:DVB-T_USB_Devices_List_Low/Row and Template:DVB-T_USB_Devices_List_Low/Row/Select. And you are right about the problems that merging would mean in regard to usability.
- I tried to implement a direct edit link like the one you included up there. The problem is that those links are always "numbered" and if somebody adds or removes a device, the links will break. That was the reason for making one subsection per device in the data page, and part of the reason to add the "did" field. Subsections can be linked to by name and making this name part of the device record made it possible to use the name in templates that render the table rows.
- I don't think we need the capability to edit a group of devices that badly. I can live without it. In cases where you need to edit a whole set of devices you usually do "search and replace" type of edits and those are a pain in the browser anyway. (I copy the whole page content from the wiki's edit window over to a descent text editor, make my changes there and paste the result back into the wiki's edit window. Than I do a quick "Show changes" to make sure I only made the changes that I wanted, and thats it.)
- Cheers --Hlangos 16:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Its Looking good --CityK 04:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- Trying to make the wiki image title to work but it doesn't
[[Image:Edit-16x16.png|link=Template:DVB-T USB Devices ListData#{{{did|}}}|Edit Entry]]this code works in the wikipedia's wikimedia, but here the title shown is the url instead "Edit Entry". Tomorrow I will try to find something about it, one solution could be hardcode it in html, but, I prefer to avoid it. --howl 00:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- I tried this
[[Image:Edit-16x16.png|link=Template:DVB-T USB Devices ListData#{{{did|}}}|alt=Edit Entry]]
- But it doesn't work ( at least not in firefox ) maybe you'll have to do some html as I had done before ... [3]
- Could be a MediaWiki issue in this version? Edit links of images as core feature of MediaWiki has been introduced in 1.14. Don't know which version uses wikipedia but the sintaxis works well there. I have tried to use span but it works with text and not with images, also I have tried a css trick specified in MediaWiki to make links with images in 1.14 pre but the only possible caption with the css method is the same url. --howl 13:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

The pregame speech Prophets-town girls basketball coach Don Robinson might give tonight before the Prophets' sectional rematch with Aquin is one borne of personal experience.
Every Sunday, Robinson plays cards with his wife and mother-in-law. And, every Sunday, they take him to the cleaners. But yesterday, the longtime coach might have found the key to success in his weekly get-togethers – and it's one which translates well to his team's semifinal game at the Class 1A River Ridge Sectional.
"Those two women kick me every Sunday," Robinson said, "but [this week], we played a short game with only six or seven hands … and I won! I may take that scorecard and use it in pregame."
The message: Make tonight's game against the defending 1A state champs as short as possible.
"The secret for us as the year has gone on is to try and get the lead, then win the time of possession," Robinson said. "Get the lead, then be patient and eat clock, then when we finally get a good shot, take it. When we make it, that's when we seem to extend the lead, make the other team nervous or put them into a little bit of panic mode."
Robinson cautions that it's easier said than done with a team like Aquin. The Bulldogs (27-2) feature a wealth of experience, led by Arizona State-bound Sophie Brunner and heady point guard Haley Chang.
The do-it-all Brunner can score, rebound, pass and play defense, and Chang complements her with as a solid ball-handler and consistent outside threat.
"Sophie does everything, and she has that ability to make her teammates look terrific," Robinson said. "She defers early to her teammates to get them involved, and then she makes it look so easy when she does take over the game.
"Put her with that point guard, who has been around basketball a lot thanks to her dad coaching the Aquin boys team, and they don't get shook up too easy when those two are on the floor."
But experience goes both ways. When the two teams met in last year's 1A Eastland Sectional final, Prophetstown (27-3) had virtually the same team it does this time around.
Sophomores Corrie Reiley and Clare Kramer have been in the fold all season, and junior Karlie Stafford has developed into the girl who does all the dirty work after winning the fifth starter job at the beginning of the year.
When you include senior standouts Cassie Reiley and Riley Walters and a deep bench featuring the likes of senior Molly Corbin, juniors Brooke Remley and Kaeli Kovarik, and sophomore Cydney Westen, the Prophets have a lot of players with postseason experience.
"Everybody has a valuable part on this team," Stafford said. "The whole bench has something to bring to the team, and we've all played together all year now instead of throwing in some younger girls at the end of the season like last year.
"We all just have to do our parts, communicate on defense and just give it our all. We've been looking forward to this game all season, and we don't want to have any regrets."
Last year's 36-24 loss to Aquin has been in the back of the Prophets' minds ever since last February. Within two points early in the fourth quarter, Prophetstown went cold from the field, and the Bulldogs closed the game with a 10-0 run in arguably their toughest game en route to the state title.
Kramer, who was making just her second varsity start, remembers being as nervous as she's ever been. This time around, she believes the experience of playing in that atmosphere will be a big help – as will the fan bus Prophetstown will be taking to the game.
"I'm getting really excited for this game, and I think the other girls are, too," Kramer said. "It was a really good battle last year, and I'm looking forward to playing Sophie again; she's probably the best player I've ever defended, and it's a challenge to stop her.
"But I think us playing her last year, we're going to be much better about calming those nerves down. I think we'll play with a lot more confidence, and it will really be in our favor if we keep the game at our tempo and execute well."
Whether or not he uses his recent card-playing experience as a pregame pep talk, Robinson knows he won't have to do a lot of motivating tonight. With his players fired up to avenge last year's season-ending loss – as well as keep their postseason march going – he's going to talk about the same things in the locker room he usually talks about.
Play your role, trust your teammates. Run the offense, rotate on defense, take the open shots. Don't get too high when good things happen, and don't get too down when Aquin has success. And, above all, stay positive, enjoy the moment and have fun.
"The girls have had this game marked on their calendars for quite a while, thinking, 'If we could just get back to this game, it's a fun way to maybe rewrite some things,' " Robinson said. "Just like last year, we know we'll have to play a great game to win, but I believe we're capable of it.
"The longer we can be in the game, that helps our chances. Then, if we can hit a few big shots, hit a few 3-ball daggers in a close game, get to the free-throw line, maybe they come down and force something. If we can do that, it'll give us our best chance."

The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start program provides child care and a comprehensive program of health, parent involvement, and social services for preschool children of low-income migrant and seasonal farm workers.
You may qualify if you are a low-income migrant or seasonal farm worker with a child or children younger than 6 years old.
There are four areas of service offered:
Encourages parents to observe their children and to participate with them in group activities. Family Service Coordinators are bilingual and have work schedules that accommodate families' needs. The program develops and maintains strong community partnerships to ensure service delivery.
Parents have opportunities for involvement in every aspect of the program. A Parent Policy Committee is active in every center, and at the state level, sharing governing responsibilities with agency boards of directors. At the centers, parents participate in inter-generational literacy activities with their children, and attend other educational sessions.
Provides a secure, stimulating environment in which children are helped to develop physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. Classrooms must comply with state licensing standards and Head Start Performance Standards, offering full-time child care for children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age. The education program offers opportunities for active learning experiences for all ages. Teachers of 3, 4, and 5 year old children implement the Creative Curriculum, supplemented by the Anti-Bias Curriculum.
In classrooms for infants and toddlers, teachers follow the methods of Creative Curriculum for infants and toddlers. The philosophy of respectful caregiving allows babies to develop at their own inherent pace, while providing them emotional support in a non-restraining physical environment.
Collaborate with the Migrant Health Program, Public Health Departments, and other health service providers in the community to ensure children are up-to-date on a schedule of preventive and primary care - including medical, dental, immunization and nutrition screening, and exams.When children need further assessment, treatment, or therapy, follow-up care plans are developed in consultation with parents, and families are referred for services. Nutritionally balanced and culturally relevant meals are served to the children and provided, in part, through the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program.
Bilingual mental health consultants are available to work with staff, parents, and children to promote emotional well-being to offer training and to identify local resources when referrals are needed.
Offered to children with disabilities. They receive comprehensive and individualized services, designed and implemented in partnership with the family and the providers of Part C and B services in each child's community. These services are developed to build on each child's capabilities and strengths.

Wind gusts reach 60 mph, causes base closure and tress to fall during 15-minute storm
A series of powerful microburst storms tossed dust into the air on Tuesday, causing damage around town and kicking up a powerful dust storm.
According to the National Weather Service, the microbursts generated 60-mph gusts of wind.
NWS said it only lasted 15 minutes and information was based out of the weather station at Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake.
Drivers faced sharply reduced visibility on the road during the 15 minutes due to the high volume of dust kicked up by the wind.
Fifteen minutes was enough to cause damage across the Indian Wells Valley.
Reports of power outages at Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake were confirmed by Public Affairs Officer Peggy Shoaf Tuesday by phone.
Shoaf said that power was out at the administration building and other areas of the base, and was closed down at 11 a.m. due to a downed power line on Inyokern Road.
"One of those power lines provides power to the base," said Shoaf by phone on Tuesday.
Shoaf said that the base had to close down its daycare center as per the facility's policy. The daycare center had called parents to have its children picked up.
Shoaf said Cmdr. Ron Tribble, NAWS China Lake's public works officer, was assessing the damage and would determine the full extent of the damage.
NAWS China Lake Public Affairs later updated its status to indicate the base's Richmond and Sandquist gates were closed as of 2 p.m., while the Lauritsen and Main gates remained open.
Power lines were reported down at Inyokern Road and Brady Street and on Church Avenue near Monroe Middle School.
Deborah Hess, public affairs manager for SCE, said Tuesday that 2,000 people lost power as a result.
Hess said that additional SCE crews had been called in to help restore power and repair damage to company equipment.
NAWS China Lake estimated that it would not have power up until midnight on July 3.
In Ridgecrest, winds kicked in one set of doors at the Home Depot on China Lake Boulevard, and caused damage to several structures. Ridgecrest Police Department officers and Kern County Fire Department deployed several units to answer calls.
On Ridgecrest Boulevard, the gusts sheared off a portion of Sierra Furniture's sign near My Enchanted Cottage.
The Church of the Nazarene found a number of its solar panels ripped from its roof during the 15-minute gust, according to Gregg Griffin, the church's associate pastor.
"The wind was blowing around one second and the next it's like the entire building was shaking," Griffin said Tuesday. "The next thing I hear is crash, crash, crash, and when I came out it was all over the roof."
Griffin said the church sustained damage to some of its solar panels, parts of the roof and two of its air conditioning units.
"It was a matter of five minutes and it was over with," Griffin said. "I tried to come out but I couldn't open the door."
Griffin said he was accustomed to seeing similar weather patterns back on the East Coast, adding that the winds blowing through Ridgecrest were strong.
"The wind literally was shaking the entire building, and I could hear it roll the panels up like they were burritos," Griffin said.
Griffin estimated the wind caused $60,000 in damages to the solar panels, but said the church would be contacting its insurance agency for a official assessment.
"I learned that you don't pick up solar panels without gloves," Griffin joked.

OpenCores: EDA Tools
OpenCores is the world largest community focusing on open source development targeted for hardware. Designing IP cores, is unfortunately not as simple as writing a C program. A lot more steps are needed to verify the cores and to ensure they can be synthesized to different FPGA architectures and various standard cell libraries.
Open Source EDA tools
There are plenty of good EDA tools that are open source available. The use of such tools makes it easier to collaborate at the opencores site. An IP that has readily available scripts for an open source HDL simulator makes it easier for an other person to verify and possibly update that particular core. A test environment that is built for a commercial simulator that only a limited number of people have access to makes verification more complicated.
Icarus Verilog Simulator
Icarus Verilog is a Verilog simulation and synthesis tool. It operates as a compiler, compiling source code writen in Verilog (IEEE-1364) into some target format. For batch simulation, the compiler can generate an intermediate form called vvp assembly. This intermediate form is executed by the &qout;vvp&qout; command. For synthesis, the compiler generates netlists in the desired format.
The compiler proper is intended to parse and elaborate design descriptions written to the IEEE standard IEEE Std 1364-2005.
Verilator is a free Verilog HDL simulator. It compiles synthesizable Verilog into an executable format and wraps it into a SystemC model. Internally a two-stage model is used. The resulting model executes about 10 times faster than standalone SystemC.
Verilator has been used to simulate many very large multi-million gate designs with thousands of modules. Therefor we have chosen this tool to be used in the verification environment for the OpenRISC processor.Verilator web site
GHDL VHDL simulator
GHDL implements the VHDL87 (common name for IEEE 1076-1987) standard, the VHDL93 standard (aka IEEE 1076-1993) and the protected types of VHDL00 (aka IEEE 1076a or IEEE 1076-2000). The VHDL version can be selected with a command line option.
EMACS - text editor
GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable text editor—and more.
Very good support for both Verilog HDL and VHDL editing.
Fizzim is a FREE, open-source GUI-based FSM design tool
The GUI is written in java for portability. The backend code generation is written in perl for portability and ease of modification.
- Runs on Windows, Linux, Apple, anything with java.
- Familiar Windows look-and-feel.
- Visibility (on/off/only-non-default) and color control on data and comment fields.
- Multiple pages for complex state machines.
- "Output to clipboard" makes it easy to pull the state diagram into your documentation.
- Verilog code generation based on recommendations from experts in the field.
- Output code has "hand-coded" look-and-feel (no tasks, functions, etc).
- Switch between highly encoded or onehot output without changing the source.
- Registered outputs can be specified to be included as state bits, or pulled out as independent flops.
- Mealy and Moore outputs available.
- Transition priority available.
- Automatic grey coding available.
- Code and/or comments can be inserted at strategic places in the output - no need to "perl" the output to add your copyright or `include
TCE is a toolset for designing application-specific processors (ASP) based on the Transport triggered architecture (TTA). The toolset provides a complete co-design flow from C programs down to synthesizable VHDL and parallel program binaries. Processor customization points include the register files, function units, supported operations, and the interconnection network.
TCE has been developed internally in the Tampere University of Technology since the early 2003. The current source code base consists of roughly 400 000 lines of C++ code.
C to Verilog translation
Available is an online C to Verilog compiler. The code generated by the site is licensed under BSD (use it "as is").
