Apr 22 09:03:53 <panto> anujdeshpande, pong
Apr 22 09:04:55 <anujdeshpande> panto: I will be working as an intern at 3drobotic for beaglepilot instead of gsoc@beagle.
Apr 22 09:05:01 <panto> cool
Apr 22 09:05:14 <anujdeshpande> panto: i just wanted to inform you that I’ll still be needing your help :)
Apr 22 09:05:58 <panto> heh
Apr 22 09:06:03 <panto> ok

Apr 22 12:07:03 <Abhishek_> morning
Apr 22 12:36:57 <DiegoTc> hi jkridner
Apr 22 13:26:20 <Abhishek_> hi DiegoTc
Apr 22 13:49:51 <DiegoTc> Hi Abhishek_
Apr 22 13:59:37 <DiegoTc> Hi VoltVisionSteve
Apr 22 14:00:15 <VoltVisionSteve> Hello DiegoTc!  I hope you are doing great.
Apr 22 14:01:09 <karki> Good evening :)
Apr 22 14:01:53 <karki> Abhishek_ : hello!
Apr 22 14:03:10 <CareBear\> mranostay : hey, let me know if can help with the sigrok project.
Apr 22 14:06:49 <praveendath92> Hello all :)
Apr 22 14:07:18 <praveendath92> Congos for the GSoC'14 accepts.
Apr 22 14:09:48 <DiegoTc> VoltVisionSteve yes!
Apr 22 14:14:45 <VoltVisionSteve> DiegoTc: I am heading into a meeting for about 30mins, but then I will be here all day if you would like to chat.  I will look here when I get back.  Talk soon!
Apr 22 14:19:40 <Abhishek_> Congratulations praveendath92 ! :)
Apr 22 14:20:01 <praveendath92> Thanks Abhishek_
Apr 22 15:36:56 <VoltVisionSteve> DiegoTc: ok, I am back.
Apr 22 16:02:58 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : so I've already started adding support to the libsigrok build system for am335x_pru_package
Apr 22 16:03:40 <Abhishek_> thanks, I've done that in my private git repo
Apr 22 16:03:44 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : show me?
Apr 22 16:04:05 <Abhishek_> https://github.com/abhishek-kakkar/libsigrok
Apr 22 16:08:01 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : I see. it's good that you've added a driver skeleton; I haven't done that yet, I've only done build system things so far. they aren't trivial. I think the build system integration needs to be better than what you currently have.
Apr 22 16:08:58 <Abhishek_> okay, that was next on my todo list.
Apr 22 16:09:15 <Abhishek_> to get it building with the PRU package
Apr 22 16:09:33 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : there is no point in duplicating work so my suggestion would be that I get my bits either into libsigrok or publish them otherwise so that you can reuse them.
Apr 22 16:11:34 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : you'll be spending more time on this project than I can so I'd like to just hand over the build bits
Apr 22 16:12:54 <Abhishek_> sure, what would exactly be changing in the build system?
Apr 22 16:14:34 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : what I did was to add a --with-am335x_pru_package parameter to configure, for pointing to a clone of that repo, and then both pasm and the PRU access library is built as part of the libsigrok build process
Apr 22 16:15:03 <Abhishek_> I see
Apr 22 16:15:19 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : but I would actually like to see the PRU access library to be rewritten
Apr 22 16:15:47 <Abhishek_> hmm, I suppose there's a remoteproc based PRU driver in the works
Apr 22 16:16:25 <CareBear\> that's only a very small piece of code so it will be very easy, and a rewrite is good because the existing code doesn't behave so well. (outputs to stdout even though it's a library, e.g.)
Apr 22 16:16:57 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : remoteproc would be neat, but I think it's more important to start with a solution that works on a beaglebone out of the box
Apr 22 16:17:17 <jkridner> hi all, sorry to have been afk for so long...
Apr 22 16:17:24 <jkridner> gotta run back out here in a sec.
Apr 22 16:17:31 <jkridner> will be back on this afternoon
Apr 22 16:17:38 <CareBear\> hi jkridner
Apr 22 16:17:53 <jkridner> I'll be posting some instructions later on for those accepted...
Apr 22 16:18:05 <jkridner> hi CareBear\... trying to reach me for anything?
Apr 22 16:18:10 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : also, I don't like the name bbb-pru, because the PRU doesn't exist only the beaglebone, and acquisition will not really be beaglebone-specific
Apr 22 16:18:18 <CareBear\> jkridner : nope, just a greeting
Apr 22 16:18:52 <jkridner> k. :-)
Apr 22 16:19:30 <Abhishek_> morning jkridner
Apr 22 16:19:41 <jkridner> hi Abhishek_
Apr 22 16:21:11 * biot the fly on the wall
Apr 22 16:21:45 <CareBear\> hey biot
Apr 22 16:24:10 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : so what's your prefered way for me handing over the build bits I've done? in the end you don't even have to use any of it of course, but the idea is that it might save some time. biot: would you be willing to take a patch by me even before there's an actual driver?
Apr 22 16:25:12 <CareBear\> biot : "no need to pre-merge this build stuff" - yes, you're right.
Apr 22 16:25:16 <biot> CareBear\: I'd rather integrate the build changes needed along with the driver
Apr 22 16:25:27 <biot> it's dead code, otherwise
Apr 22 16:25:31 <CareBear\> yes, it is
Apr 22 16:25:53 <Abhishek_> I think it would be best to send me the patch as an email, I'll fit it in, and would ask biot to pull it with the full driver
Apr 22 16:26:05 <CareBear\> Abhishek_ : okey, so maybe the best way is I get you a commit and ...
Apr 22 16:26:07 <CareBear\> yup
Apr 22 16:39:21 <jkridner> http://beagleboard.org/blog/2014-04-22-google-summer-of-code-2014-projects/
Apr 22 16:48:29 <Abhishek_> jkridner: Is Charles Steinkuehler here?
Apr 22 17:10:21 <mranostay> hello
Apr 22 17:19:16 <Abhishek_> hi mranostay
Apr 22 17:25:49 <Abhishek_> ds2, mranostay: https://gist.github.com/abhishek-kakkar/8302ba7e375e13b30493 <= The firmware used by the pre-existing code I mentioned in my proposal.
Apr 22 17:27:00 <mranostay> ok what am i looking at?
Apr 22 17:27:00 <mranostay> :)
Apr 22 17:28:30 <Abhishek_> This is the PRU program loaded by the pre-existing LA code to sample the pins and then dump it to memory
Apr 22 17:41:27 <DiegoTc> Hi VoltVisionSteve , one small question I just read jkridner blog post and read this We'll be asking the students to create small introductory videos or screencasts introducing their project to the world, making sure they are well aligned with their mentors and understand their project goals. Do you know if this video is for tomorrow's meeting
Apr 22 19:27:12 <VoltVisionSteve> DiegoTc, I am not sure if this is due for tomorrows meeting.  I will try to find out thanks!
Apr 22 19:27:24 <DiegoTc> thanks VoltVisionSteve
Apr 22 20:09:21 <vvu|Log> DiegoTc: the video is not for tomorrow, just keep in mind to do one to present your project. like in 1-2 weeks
Apr 22 20:09:51 <DiegoTc> ahh ok, thanks vvu|Log
Apr 22 20:12:55 <Abhishek_> what would be things that would be discussed in tomorrow's meeting?
Apr 22 20:19:05 * vvu|Log has no clue, introductory stuff mainly 
Apr 22 20:27:53 <Abhishek_> 'night
Apr 22 20:28:11 <vvu|Log> same
Apr 22 21:55:57 <jkridner> DiegoTc: no, not for tomorrow's meeting
