Mar 07 05:11:38 <Utal> jkridner, can u tell me how to setup arm environment in linux.
Mar 07 09:10:23 <Satyam_z> anujdeshpande : hey  pm ?
Mar 07 09:10:42 <anujdeshpande> Satyam_z: ??
Mar 07 09:10:58 <Satyam_z> anujdeshpande : private message ?
Mar 07 10:46:38 <Utal> jkridner, i want to work Using BeagleBone PRUs to control CNC and 3D printer stepper motor Drivers can you help me get started.
Mar 07 11:29:13 <Utal> i want to work Using BeagleBone PRUs to control CNC and 3D printer stepper motor Drivers .can anyone here help me to get started
Mar 07 13:04:00 <altairpearl> sidbh : hey
Mar 07 13:05:27 <sidbh> hi altairpearl
Mar 07 13:08:15 <altairpearl> sidbh : hey i want to work ont eh beagleRT project
Mar 07 13:08:48 <altairpearl> I have compiled kernel v3.14.31 with and without simple preempt options
Mar 07 13:09:08 <altairpearl> and also with full preempt option after patching with  RT patches
Mar 07 13:09:20 <altairpearl> can you guide me on that? like what I should be concentrating on?
Mar 07 13:09:30 <altairpearl> what i should do next ?
Mar 07 13:13:35 <sidbh> altairpearl,, I was pinged regarding the same by kiran, I suggested him to work on getting library for PRU, so I'll suggest the similar thing here too. I think functions from starter-ware lib working on PRU would be quite nice.
Mar 07 13:15:01 <altairpearl> sidbh : oh ok . I'll work on it
Mar 07 13:15:28 <sidbh> he told me that there is some work already done in that direction. you should contact jkridner for that, I guess he might give some pointers and sources for that.
Mar 07 13:16:06 <altairpearl> ok thanks
Mar 07 13:28:27 <kiru> jkridner,can you tell me more about the feature Bootload the board with a USB-mass-storage-class application in NW.js
Mar 07 14:21:33 <kiran4399> sidbh: The starterware library for PRU is intended for embeding in PRUspeak to add support for Analog input and hard PWM. Can you tell me what is the header file for ADC in starterware ? Is it tsc_adc.h ? I do not find any ..
Mar 07 14:22:08 <sidbh> use grep :)
Mar 07 14:23:02 <Abhishek_> In AM335x the TSC and ADC are the same
Mar 07 14:24:19 <kiran4399> OK..
Mar 07 14:26:13 <kiran4399> Abhishek_: In which language can the firmata, for the PRUspeak, be implemented easily ?
Mar 07 14:32:01 <kiran4399> Abhishek_: I think python implementation is pretty simple..
Mar 07 14:32:55 <Abhishek_> How about node.js?
Mar 07 14:36:28 <kiran4399> Abhishek: Do you think it is easier to implement in node.js ?
Mar 07 14:37:18 <Abhishek_> To me it isn't a matter of being "easy to implement", however, it should be "easy to use" first
Mar 07 14:39:29 <dk_> I'd say python API would be more simple than Node.js
Mar 07 14:39:48 <dk_> to use and implement
Mar 07 14:44:04 <kiran4399> dk_: OK.. Thanks :-)
Mar 07 14:45:31 <Abhishek_> if you do it correctly it might be possible to do both, but it is up to you to see how you can work it out
Mar 07 14:46:57 <kiran4399> I think I can do this in python. Atleast in this, I've a rough sketch on how to do it..
Mar 07 14:49:35 <kiran4399> Abhiskek_: One more thing. When I run the run.sh script in pruspeak... I get the following error: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/class/misc/pru_speak/pru_speak_abort'. I also get the same error if I run the ps shell or the tcp_client
Mar 07 14:51:18 <kiran4399> Oops sorry not the tcp_client but tcp_server... And yes... it says "PRU object deleted" after the error.
Mar 07 14:53:12 <apaar> kiran...I had the same issue...which version are you running??
Mar 07 14:54:26 <apaar>  kiran4399 :^
Mar 07 14:55:39 <kiran4399> apaar: debian. kernel: 3.8.13
Mar 07 14:56:09 <apaar> bone47 or 70...do uname -r
Mar 07 14:56:18 <kiran4399> appar: bone47
Mar 07 14:57:18 <Abhishek_> The kernel needs an upgrade
Mar 07 14:57:43 <apaar> ah upgrade to bone70...the 47 build does not seem compatible with pruspeaks current version...also disable hdmi
Mar 07 15:00:09 <kiran4399> apaar: thanks :-)
Mar 07 15:00:16 <melroy_tellis> Hello everyone
Mar 07 15:00:38 <apaar> np :)
Mar 07 15:00:57 <melroy_tellis> I am a pre-final year electronics engineering student at Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute,Mumbai,India.
Mar 07 15:01:52 <ff_> hi
Mar 07 15:03:01 <melroy_tellis> I am impressed by the capabilities of the Beagle Bone and also on the fact that it's based on an ARM processor by Texas Instruments.
Mar 07 15:04:13 <melroy_tellis> Recently,I worked on this project for the Texas Instruments Innovation India Design Challenge, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJKuqg-iJ28
Mar 07 15:05:12 <melroy_tellis> And given my love for embedded programming,I would like to apply here for GSOC 2015.
Mar 07 15:05:47 <melroy_tellis> Could someone please tell me what I would be required to do.Thanks in advance.
Mar 07 15:57:17 <ankur> is there any pre-build android image for android kit kat or android lollipop?
Mar 07 15:58:54 <kiran4399> jkridner: I am back with my observations !!
Mar 07 16:00:25 <shubhangi> Abhishek_ : ping
Mar 07 16:01:09 <anujdeshpande> ankur: yep,  check bbbandroid project
Mar 07 16:01:22 <Abhishek_> shubhangi: pong
Mar 07 16:01:58 <anujdeshpande> ankur: http://bbbandroid.sourceforge.net/
Mar 07 16:03:09 <shubhangi> When i load the dts the firmware gets loaded to the pru through rpoc. i am making changes to the firmware. is it possible to reload device trees or do i have to reboot everytime as i am doing now
Mar 07 16:04:43 <shubhangi> i am trying to finish what alexander told me to do. create a sysfs entry > write 1/0 to it in order to toggle led on pru
Mar 07 16:04:59 <Abhishek_> It is possible to reload firmware
Mar 07 16:05:05 <shubhangi> how ?
Mar 07 16:05:16 <ankur> anujdeshpande:i am downloading the image from https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbbandroid/files/latest/download
Mar 07 16:05:23 <ankur> is it the new android image
Mar 07 16:05:29 <anujdeshpande> ankur: yepp
Mar 07 16:05:31 <Abhishek_> find a load sysfs entry in 4a300000.pruproc
Mar 07 16:05:57 <shubhangi> k
Mar 07 16:06:08 <shubhangi> thanks (y)
Mar 07 16:06:38 <Abhishek_> write something to it like echo "0:pru0fw,1:pru1fw" > /...pruproc/load
Mar 07 16:06:47 <ankur> anujdeshpande: I want to do GSOC project Demo Android app using BBBAndroid.
Mar 07 16:07:01 <Abhishek_> where 0 and 1 are the firmware files
Mar 07 16:07:14 <ankur> for that i am installing the image on my bone
Mar 07 16:07:30 <ankur> is it the correct way to proceed ??
Mar 07 16:07:31 <anujdeshpande> ankur: https://github.com/hendersa?tab=repositories this is the place where the source for all things bbb android is
Mar 07 16:07:42 <anujdeshpande> ankur: yepp
Mar 07 16:07:44 <shubhangi> okay. thanks for the help.
Mar 07 16:09:15 <ankur> I previously talked to hendersa. I think you two are mentors for this project.
Mar 07 16:09:33 <anujdeshpande> ankur: yep (most probably)
Mar 07 16:09:46 <ankur> I just wanted to ask what type of android application should be developed under this topic?
Mar 07 16:10:02 <anujdeshpande> did you take a look at the response hendersa gave you on the ml ?
Mar 07 16:10:55 <stonescenter> Hello, I am interested in improving "Libraries of Arduino for StarterWare"
Mar 07 16:12:04 <ankur> Ya i saw the video the video and the link
Mar 07 16:12:13 <ankur> i also had chat with him over irc
Mar 07 16:12:34 <anujdeshpande> ankur the kind of app is a bit open ended at the moment. so you can make suggestions. but the basic idea is to make something which will showcase what all things the peripherals of bbb can let you do. take a look at the bacone cape for example
Mar 07 16:12:57 <stonescenter> Could someone give me a bit details about it? Who is the mentor?
Mar 07 16:13:12 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: have you tried starterware on the bbb yet ?
Mar 07 16:13:54 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, I don't have a beagle board yet
Mar 07 16:14:28 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: cool, have you worked with arduino before ?
Mar 07 16:14:40 <stonescenter> yes I have worked
Mar 07 16:15:07 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: so you would know how the libraries there work or how the compilation happens
Mar 07 16:15:08 <ankur> anujdeshpande: will it be a good project for GSOC for making an Android application compatible with the bacon cape
Mar 07 16:15:45 <anujdeshpande> ankur: that could be a good start, yes. jkridner would take the final call on that though
Mar 07 16:16:57 <ankur> fine, thanks for the guidance
Mar 07 16:16:58 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: the idea is to have arduino code work as is for the bbb. on the bbb, there won’t be any OS as such. this is where starterware comes in
Mar 07 16:18:21 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, let me know introduce me, I have participate in some Gsoc's before. I did a firmware for my project related to sensors
Mar 07 16:20:54 <anujdeshpande>  stonescenter alright
Mar 07 16:21:18 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, Do I need to run the .hex into Starterware?
Mar 07 16:22:47 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: http://anthonymerlino.us/uncategorized/getting-started-with-beaglebone-black-bbb-and-starterware hope this answers some doubts
Mar 07 16:23:39 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: also, http://www.ti.com/tool/starterware-sitara
Mar 07 16:24:13 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, Ok I am going to prepare a proposal ,
Mar 07 16:24:25 <anujdeshpande> sounds good
Mar 07 16:25:01 * nerdboy assumes project proposal
Mar 07 16:25:19 <nerdboy> need to add some stuff there...
Mar 07 16:25:22 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, there are differences arduino works with Atmel Atmega line
Mar 07 16:25:55 <anujdeshpande> true
Mar 07 16:26:19 <anujdeshpande> starterware allows one to run code on what we refer to as baremetal
Mar 07 16:26:42 <anujdeshpande> now that code is C code, which is different to some extent from the Processing-like syntax of the Arduino world
Mar 07 16:27:30 <anujdeshpande> what we would like is an abstraction which wraps that around the Processing-like syntax so that one can copy paste Arduino code into the Energia IDE and make it run on the BBB
Mar 07 16:29:19 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: sound good ?
Mar 07 16:29:30 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, I see you need a wrapper around functions of C
Mar 07 16:30:08 <anujdeshpande> stonescenter: true. so one should be able to write their void setup() and void loop() and do their Arduino thing. but the BBB should understand it anyways
Mar 07 16:30:17 <anujdeshpande> that’s where starterware comes in.
Mar 07 16:30:57 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, it is like java wrapper of OpenCv functions for Android IDE
Mar 07 16:31:16 * anujdeshpande wouldn’t know about that
Mar 07 16:31:54 <stonescenter> anujdeshpande, yes there are two principals functions loop() and setup()
Mar 07 16:32:23 <anujdeshpande> https://github.com/prpplague/Userspace-Arduino/blob/master/libarduino/cores/virtual/main.cpp
Mar 07 16:33:05 * nerdboy on a morning bossa nova kick
Mar 07 16:33:22 <anujdeshpande> this is how we did it in the userspace-arduino project. something similar would need to be implemented. on second thoughts, something similar has already been implemented in the energia project. what we need is to fit that with the things in starterware
Mar 07 16:37:44 <stonescenter> ok
Mar 07 16:40:24 <nerdboy> _av500_ jkridner: seems like i should move "Using BeagleBone PRUs..." to PRU section and add more pru applications
Mar 07 16:41:04 * nerdboy chucking out a few of the latter and see what sticks
Mar 07 16:57:55 <anujdeshpande> hey hendersa
Mar 07 16:58:20 <hendersa> Hey there Anuj. You've been busy getting the word out, I see.
Mar 07 16:59:59 <anujdeshpande> hendersa: i have :D
Mar 07 17:01:14 <anujdeshpande> hendersa: do you think we could list down the tasks on the wiki so that students can perhaps break them down into chunks and plan accordingly. i personally think there is room for more than one student here.
Mar 07 17:05:31 <hendersa> Well, yes and no. While we could break things down a bit more, we also need to pick out candidates that are motivated enough to determine their personal limitations and ask for clarification.
Mar 07 17:06:12 <hendersa> It isn't a matter of attracting a bunch of potential mentees.  It is about attracting the right ones for the GSoC program.
Mar 07 17:07:06 <hendersa> So, we need some candidates with a little ambition that are willing to solicit the info themselves and tailor their proposals to their own abilities.
Mar 07 17:08:13 <hendersa> I'm all for having more than one student, assuming that their proposals are good.  We can coordinate among them to avoid overlap.
Mar 07 17:08:54 <hendersa> But, I don't want to get swamped with people that develop apps and assume that the hardware interfacing bits are something that they can quickly pick up because hey... they're good at developing apps.
Mar 07 17:09:10 <anujdeshpande> hendersa: sounds good !
Mar 07 17:09:40 <nerdboy> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC  <=  someone going to update this for 2015?
Mar 07 17:10:06 <nerdboy> since bb.org is "official" now i take it?
Mar 07 17:11:16 * nerdboy can take a stab at it...  (new guy rules apply)
Mar 07 17:11:42 <anujdeshpande> also hendersa , we usually have a all  hands on deck meeting here on IRC every wednesday
Mar 07 17:11:43 * nerdboy looks for something smaller than a machete
Mar 07 17:12:37 <hendersa> Yeah, I missed it by about 10 minutes last time.  I'll do my best to catch the upcoming one.
Mar 07 17:12:46 <anujdeshpande> cool
Mar 07 17:13:18 <hendersa> nerdboy: Feel free to update whatever. We'll clean it up as we go if something needs to be changed.
Mar 07 17:13:33 <hendersa> I think it is mostly just the schedule that needs updating.
Mar 07 17:13:37 <anujdeshpande> it’s mostly the dates that will need to be updated
Mar 07 17:13:40 <hendersa> https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015
Mar 07 17:14:08 <_av500_> nerdboy: go ahead
Mar 07 17:14:09 <hendersa> It will save poor jkridner some effort.  Goodness knows the poor guy has enough to worry about already.
Mar 07 17:34:34 <nerdboy> _av500_: melange says i need "active profile"
Mar 07 17:35:01 <nerdboy> logged in to the g00g and no obvious way to do it...
Mar 07 17:35:40 <nerdboy> wiki updated, more or less...
Mar 07 17:36:56 <anujdeshpande> legit
Mar 07 17:39:16 <geekswine_> anujdeshpande: since starterware uses the libraries which directly uses hardware modules...so for writing arduino libraries we can use these function provided by them..
Mar 07 17:39:58 <anujdeshpande> geekswine_: yepp. wrap the libraires which are already there with stuff like pinMode and digitalWrite, etc
Mar 07 17:40:06 <geekswine_> so does it matter that writing arduino libraries whcih uses directly hardware instead of using functions which would take more time..
Mar 07 17:40:47 * nerdboy would not worry about time yet
Mar 07 17:41:15 <nerdboy> do it clean, then profile as needed
Mar 07 17:41:32 <anujdeshpande> that’s a very narrow optimization i would think. compilers these days are good enough to not worry about this
Mar 07 17:42:14 * nerdboy wouldn't go crazy with compiler optimizations either
Mar 07 17:43:09 <geekswine_> so for now its good to use just the functions provided !!!
Mar 07 17:43:25 <nerdboy> start with "safe" flags, then you can (subtly break it later)
Mar 07 17:44:22 <nerdboy> misplaced paren: one of the lesser-used typos...
Mar 07 17:44:39 <geekswine_> okk...:)
Mar 07 17:44:43 <anujdeshpande> yepp
Mar 07 17:59:09 <_av500_> nerdboy: what is your melange status?
Mar 07 17:59:15 <_av500_> you need to request a mento role
Mar 07 17:59:20 <_av500_> mentor even
Mar 07 17:59:25 <_av500_> mentos optionals
Mar 07 18:07:33 <jkridner> hendersa: thanks for the consideration
Mar 07 18:13:37 * nerdboy requests 2 rolls of mentos for his wife
Mar 07 18:14:52 <shubhangi> Abhishek_ : ping
Mar 07 18:15:07 <nerdboy> _av500_: it says i'm logged into google and "Active profile is required to access this page."
Mar 07 18:15:35 <nerdboy> exactly what do i need to do that's not on the wiki?
Mar 07 18:15:55 <nerdboy> approximately even...
Mar 07 18:21:21 <vvu> an offtopic question: somebody had to deal with systick timer on a STM32F4Discovery board before ?
Mar 07 18:28:55 <_av500_> vvu: as in?
Mar 07 18:29:06 <_av500_> the hal sets up a 1ms timer
Mar 07 18:29:31 <_av500_> nerdboy: to access what page?
Mar 07 18:29:43 <_av500_> do you have a melange profile?
Mar 07 18:30:37 <vvu> i cannot figure out how to get when it overflows
Mar 07 18:30:43 <vvu> i am trying to measure time spent in one function
Mar 07 18:30:50 <_av500_> ah
Mar 07 18:30:58 <vvu> currently i have it set up at 1uS
Mar 07 18:30:58 <_av500_> HAL_GetTick?
Mar 07 18:31:01 <_av500_> ah
Mar 07 18:31:14 <_av500_> you can setup another timer
Mar 07 18:31:14 <vvu> but it goes over really fast :)
Mar 07 18:31:24 <_av500_> and use all the IRQs etc..
Mar 07 18:31:39 <_av500_> not sure if the systick timer allows that
Mar 07 18:31:44 <_av500_> RTFM? :)
Mar 07 18:32:03 <vvu> wanted a easy copy/paste snippet :) but seems there is none
Mar 07 18:32:13 * nerdboy could use some help fleshing out http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/Ideas#Interesting_Applications_for_PRU_Processing
Mar 07 18:32:18 <nerdboy> ^ calculus
Mar 07 18:32:38 <nerdboy> _av500_: my guess is i do not have a profile
Mar 07 18:33:05 <nerdboy> the wiki page has one link and that's what i get
Mar 07 18:34:27 * nerdboy hack's jkridner's tv remote and disables cartoon network
Mar 07 18:37:42 <Abhishek_> shubhangi: pong
Mar 07 18:40:08 <nerdboy> main gsoc wiki page says "and create a connection to BeagleBoard.org on Melange."  => https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/connection/pick/google/gsoc2015
Mar 07 18:40:52 * jkridner glares at nerdboy for messing with the remote
Mar 07 18:41:03 <jkridner> nerdboy: yup
Mar 07 18:41:08 * jkridner updated the dates
Mar 07 18:41:55 * jkridner planned to send out harassing e-mails via the mailing list and for individuals on the list.
Mar 07 18:42:00 <shubhangi> Abhishek: how to know which bit of R30 maps to which header pin ?
Mar 07 18:42:03 * jkridner looks to see if av500 can admin the list.
Mar 07 18:42:40 <_av500_> bb-gsoc?
Mar 07 18:43:04 <Abhishek_> shubhangi: Look at beagleboard.org/support/bone101
Mar 07 18:45:14 <anujdeshpande>  jkridner plenty of interest for starterware. tried answering some doubts. would love it if you could share what exactly you have in mind. also couldn’t find a github for the same
Mar 07 18:45:15 <jkridner> _av500_: yup. you are. just double checking
Mar 07 18:45:44 * nerdboy made a profile so now it should work
Mar 07 18:45:45 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: kinda like what you did for Userspace Arduino, but without Linux.
Mar 07 18:45:52 <nerdboy> in Theory...
Mar 07 18:46:18 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: I had 2 projects in mind for starterware, 1 for ARM w/o Linux and 1 for PRU (with Linux/remoteproc on ARM)
Mar 07 18:46:26 <shubhangi> Abhishek: thanks
Mar 07 18:47:10 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: for the latter, would it be built on top of the work some other gsoc projects are targetting ?
Mar 07 18:47:16 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: ideally, something like bbblfs would be used to bootload the sketches... potentially writing them to flash such that they run on boot like what you have with Arduinos.
Mar 07 18:47:24 <Abhishek_> shubhangi: Identify me as Abhishek_ so that I get a notification when you mention (hint: use tab after the name to autocomplete nick)
Mar 07 18:47:34 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: like what?
Mar 07 18:47:39 * anujdeshpande likes the idea of using bbblfs
Mar 07 18:48:02 <shubhangi> Abhishek_:sorry, missed it
Mar 07 18:49:03 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: i think alexanderhiam and some others were thinking of getting the PRU bridge working. (i am assuming jkridner is thinking of having something run in userspace)
Mar 07 18:49:36 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: how do you mean something in userspace?
Mar 07 18:49:54 <jkridner> something providing a userspace interface to remoteproc?
Mar 07 18:50:02 * jkridner loves that idea.
Mar 07 18:50:11 <jkridner> pass it elf, it runs and provides info on the running PRU?
Mar 07 18:50:25 <jkridner> and provides a messaging/stdio layer for code running on PRU?
Mar 07 18:50:33 <_av500_> like it
Mar 07 18:50:40 <Abhishek_> PRU Bridge?
Mar 07 18:50:53 <_av500_> DSPRU Bridge :)
Mar 07 18:51:01 <Abhishek_> :)
Mar 07 18:51:02 <_av500_> and DSPRU Link
Mar 07 18:51:07 <_av500_> we need both
Mar 07 18:52:07 <anujdeshpande> yepp
Mar 07 18:53:40 <Abhishek_> jkridner: Is there any example currently that shows how to pass rpmsgs from userspace to kernel?
Mar 07 18:53:53 <Abhishek_> *existing
Mar 07 18:53:53 <jkridner> _av500_: ;-D
Mar 07 18:54:09 * jkridner doesn't know
Mar 07 18:56:48 <Abhishek_> how is video processing HW accelerated as of now?
Mar 07 18:57:11 <Abhishek_> (suppose there is a video coprocessor onboard the SoC)
Mar 07 18:57:39 <_av500_> none
Mar 07 18:57:40 <_av500_> at all
Mar 07 18:57:48 <nerdboy> jkridner: i think i have done all your "stuff"
Mar 07 18:57:52 <_av500_> am335x is not for video
Mar 07 18:58:01 <jkridner> Abhishek_: on BeagleBoard, BeagleBoard-xM and BeagleBoard-X15 there is video acceleration, but not BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black.
Mar 07 18:58:09 <jkridner> am335x is an industrial control part.
Mar 07 18:58:27 <nerdboy> up to adding skeleton data acq/processing ideas
Mar 07 18:58:41 <nerdboy> needs some fleshing or chopping
Mar 07 18:59:05 <vvu> jkridner: will we have a chance to put any projects for x15 ?
Mar 07 18:59:09 <Abhishek_> How is the acceleration handled on the stuff where it is present?
Mar 07 18:59:14 <vvu> as the unified bootloader ?
Mar 07 18:59:24 <jkridner> vvu: yeah. we can do 1-2 X15 projects.
Mar 07 18:59:41 <jkridner> wouldn't want to do more than that due to limited availability of hardware *right now*.
Mar 07 18:59:42 * anujdeshpande did someone say x15 projects up for grabs ?!
Mar 07 18:59:44 * Abhishek_ wants a X15
Mar 07 18:59:49 <vvu> there were 2 people interested in that
Mar 07 18:59:58 <_av500_> Abhishek_: gstreamer
Mar 07 19:00:11 <_av500_> and/or OMX
Mar 07 19:00:15 <_av500_> or DSPLInk
Mar 07 19:00:18 <_av500_> or bridge
Mar 07 19:00:18 <jkridner> _av500_: both would be good.
Mar 07 19:00:26 * jkridner would most want to see Linux on C6x.
Mar 07 19:00:38 <_av500_> jkridner: there is linux for it, no?
Mar 07 19:00:39 <Abhishek_> how does the kernel offload processing onto them?
Mar 07 19:00:39 * jkridner would send an xM as well as X15.
Mar 07 19:00:47 <jkridner> _av500_: for C6000, yes....
Mar 07 19:00:52 <_av500_> yes
Mar 07 19:01:05 <jkridner> for C6000 on BeagleBoard, xM or X15, no.
Mar 07 19:01:12 <_av500_> ic
Mar 07 19:01:21 <jkridner> http://linux-c6x.org/
Mar 07 19:01:23 <_av500_> jkridner: you sure on doing x15 this year already?
Mar 07 19:01:28 <_av500_> jkridner: yes, I know that
Mar 07 19:01:33 <_av500_> I have a 6678 EVM
Mar 07 19:01:41 <_av500_> Nishant said it supports all cores now
Mar 07 19:01:46 <_av500_> that would be nice
Mar 07 19:01:50 <jkridner> _av500_: only for 1-2 projects.
Mar 07 19:01:54 <jkridner> 2 is questionable to me.
Mar 07 19:01:59 <_av500_> yeah
Mar 07 19:02:06 <anujdeshpande> jkridner: userspace-arduino on the x15 ?
Mar 07 19:02:19 <jkridner> https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/c6x <--- mainline
Mar 07 19:02:31 <anujdeshpande> although /me thinks x15 users probably won’t be interested in Arduino stuff..
Mar 07 19:02:35 <_av500_> jkridner: yes, that was what nishant was talking about :)
Mar 07 19:04:42 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: maybe, but I think it really makes more sense on the X15/Bone PRUs than to have Userspace Arduino.... we've never done a good job of optimizing that.... unless Intel has.
Mar 07 19:05:24 <Abhishek_> PRUs FTW :)
Mar 07 19:06:04 <anujdeshpande> true that
Mar 07 19:07:06 <Abhishek_> Is there any story behind the PRU architecture? Was it developed in house at TI or was acquired?
Mar 07 19:07:55 <anujdeshpande> anyone working on DMX with the PRUs ? would love that ..
Mar 07 19:08:32 <Abhishek_> I think people have done that
Mar 07 19:08:42 * anujdeshpande searches
Mar 07 19:09:20 <_av500_> mrpackethead in #beagle
Mar 07 19:09:26 <_av500_> andrew frazer from nz
Mar 07 19:09:45 <_av500_> http://www.stellascapes.com/
Mar 07 19:10:09 <anujdeshpande> neat
Mar 07 19:12:44 * nerdboy waits for calculus to make draft ideas less stinky
Mar 07 19:13:32 <Budw> can any1 tell me why lighting requires real time control?
Mar 07 19:14:04 <nerdboy> future mind-control applications?
Mar 07 19:14:38 <Abhishek_> nerdboy: which section has been updated?
Mar 07 19:14:54 <jkridner> _av500_: can you set our flags +oO ?
Mar 07 19:15:04 <nerdboy> new section on PRU applications
Mar 07 19:15:05 * jkridner likes to use /invite to pull people in here.
Mar 07 19:15:22 <Abhishek_> I see
Mar 07 19:16:02 <nerdboy> jkridner: you can try inviting stephanie but she is mostly on BorgChat.Net these days
Mar 07 19:16:29 * anujdeshpande likes what he sees for the DMX cape, especially DMX in
Mar 07 19:16:36 <nerdboy> the first one i just moved from below
Mar 07 19:16:38 <Abhishek_> stephanie from Google Open Source Office?
Mar 07 19:16:48 <nerdboy> stephanie my boss
Mar 07 19:17:09 <nerdboy> was wormo on freenode when she gentoo dev'd
Mar 07 19:17:12 <jkridner> no nick 'stephanie'
Mar 07 19:17:25 <nerdboy> sjl on borgchat
Mar 07 19:17:54 <jkridner> Budw: it is about generating the waveform to send the control signals to the lighting.
Mar 07 19:18:16 <jkridner> Did Budw leave while I was answering the question? :(
Mar 07 19:18:23 * jkridner grrs
Mar 07 19:18:25 * nerdboy recruited her within 10 minutes of "hi, are you stephanie?" over in lockheed integration lab...
Mar 07 19:19:26 <Abhishek_> 0.1mm end mill bits are so fragile
Mar 07 19:19:29 <anujdeshpande> nerdboy: have you checked this out http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PRU_Projects
Mar 07 19:19:44 <nerdboy> not yet
Mar 07 19:19:56 * nerdboy still pulling ideas out of his ass
Mar 07 19:20:44 <anujdeshpande> https://github.com/lucas-ti/PRdUino looks interesting . jkridner have you checked this out ? similar to what we were discussing earlier
Mar 07 19:32:35 <jkridner> anujdeshpande: yup, forgot about it. needs a LOT of cleanup.
Mar 07 19:32:42 <jkridner> and functional stuff too.
Mar 07 19:32:52 <jkridner> but, yes, it is a start on the same idea.
Mar 07 20:33:51 * alexanderhiam sits back down at the computer
Mar 07 20:37:56 <nerdboy> some of those projects look interesting, except when they disappear...
Mar 07 20:38:34 <nerdboy> can always use protocape and individual sensors
Mar 07 20:39:06 <nerdboy> or the right breakout board(s) and whatnot
Mar 07 20:39:47 * nerdboy might have a mildly interesting cubesat idea
Mar 07 20:40:56 <ds2> did I hear PRULink?
Mar 07 20:45:29 <nerdboy> did jason mention that?
Mar 07 20:55:09 <ds2> or was that PRUgateway to get things rolling?
Mar 07 20:55:23 * ds2 whistles innocently
Mar 07 20:56:59 <alexanderhiam> did someone propose a cubesat for gsoc??
Mar 07 20:59:32 <Abhishek_> nope, a cubesat imaging system DAQ using the PRUs
Mar 07 21:00:39 <alexanderhiam> awesome
Mar 07 21:49:33 <nerdboy> jkridner: i added this  =>  http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/Ideas#Orbital_Imaging_Cubesat
Mar 07 21:49:44 <nerdboy> can i work on my elc slides now?
Mar 07 21:58:31 <nerdboy> come on, somebody make a video of space junk...  please?
Mar 07 22:01:24 <alexanderhiam> Nerdboy: that sounds awesome. FWIW I've been planning on getting nice PRU driver support into PyBBIO, might be some overlap there
Mar 07 22:01:42 <alexanderhiam> *nerdboy
Mar 07 22:03:32 <nerdboy> even just sending acquisition data to another platform would be useful
Mar 07 22:03:58 <nerdboy> within reasonable accuracy constraints...
Mar 07 22:17:42 <webglider> hello
Mar 07 22:25:46 <webglider> the gsoc ideas page says that "Students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of cross-compiling before being accepted"
Mar 07 22:28:05 <webglider> how exactly are they supposed to demonstrate it?
Mar 07 22:30:13 <nerdboy> dowload or build a toolchain and build something for armv7
Mar 07 22:30:28 * nerdboy is guessing
Mar 07 22:31:08 <nerdboy> "look at my cross-compiled hello world on beaglebone" ?
Mar 07 22:34:51 <nerdboy> although your project would have to be spiffier, like a beaglebone AI that learns to say Hello World all bi itself...
Mar 07 22:35:04 <nerdboy> s/bi/by/
Mar 07 22:36:24 * nerdboy should put that one on the project page
Mar 08 01:06:53 <mashrufzaman> Dear mentors, I am interested to work in Beaglebone Cross platform USB boot project but at present I don't have a board and also a Mac pc, how should I proceed?
Mar 08 01:07:21 <mashrufzaman> kind attn: vvu, praveendat92 , av500
Mar 08 01:37:55 * nerdboy pokes jkridner _av500_ 
Mar 08 01:38:09 <nerdboy> i'm still the crazy-project new guy...
