Aug 21 04:56:05 <m_w> Wormo: did you test that wifi overlay?
Aug 21 04:57:03 <Wormo> not yet, but I've got the time now
Aug 21 05:05:30 <Wormo> hm need to boot back to debian from OE, this kernel doesn't have bone_capemgr/slots
Aug 21 05:08:29 <m_w> not surprised
Aug 21 05:09:02 <Wormo> it was an RCN kernel though, I thought it might
Aug 21 05:19:06 <Wormo> [   65.257632] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #6: Incompatible with baseboard f
Aug 21 05:19:09 <Wormo> or 'wifi'
Aug 21 05:19:11 <Wormo> [   65.265777] bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: slot #6: Failed verification
Aug 21 05:20:09 <m_w> oh well
Aug 21 05:20:43 <m_w> it was worth a try, I can't do much more without having a unit to try
Aug 21 05:21:10 <Wormo> the compatible isn't quite matching I think
Aug 21 05:21:17 <m_w> probably have to update the compatible list or something
Aug 21 05:21:21 <m_w> yeah
Aug 21 05:21:31 <Wormo> ti,am335x-bone-green
Aug 21 05:21:37 <Wormo> I'll try that
Aug 21 05:21:52 <m_w> it should be easy enough to try
Aug 21 05:23:18 <m_w> hey ZeekHuge
Aug 21 05:23:31 <ZeekHuge> Morning m_w !
Aug 21 05:23:43 <ZeekHuge> morning on my side.
Aug 21 05:24:58 <ZeekHuge> yes ?
Aug 21 05:25:57 <m_w> how are you doing?
Aug 21 05:28:01 <ZeekHuge> m_w: I am fine .. ahh with some ups and downs ofc. I'll get the kernel doc, a wiki page and a few READmes ready by today.
Aug 21 05:28:46 <m_w> okay
Aug 21 05:33:55 <Wormo> hi ZeekHuge, Visaoni
Aug 21 05:34:22 <Visaoni> hey Wormo
Aug 21 05:34:33 <Visaoni> do you mean the verdict on prudaq?
Aug 21 05:34:42 <Wormo> yeah are you gonna get one
Aug 21 05:34:59 <Wormo> to actually get something useful going
Aug 21 05:35:28 <Wormo> with hindsight that TI eval board isn't great even for eval
Aug 21 05:35:44 <Visaoni> yeah, I think it's probably the best way forward. put an order in last night (well, early this morning I guess). unfortunately it doesn't look like it shipped today like I'd hoped
Aug 21 05:36:54 <ZeekHuge> Hi Wormo
Aug 21 05:37:32 <Visaoni> I've been looking at the firmware for it, mostly their own example but also the beaglelogic option. not so keen on having a couple days to go in and make the alterations I need to a multi-cpu assembly codebase but seems that's where I'm at
Aug 21 05:37:48 <Wormo> Visaoni: yup
Aug 21 05:38:44 <Wormo> ZeekHuge: having fun with docs? at least you're good at it
Aug 21 05:39:43 <Wormo> Visaoni: both are in assembly? I saw the lower freq one was
Aug 21 05:39:56 <Visaoni> yeah
Aug 21 05:40:52 <Wormo> the example one is meant to be more amenable to diving in
Aug 21 05:41:21 <ZeekHuge> docs are usually considered the boring part of the project :)  But yeah ... enjoying as its kind of revision for me.
Aug 21 05:41:23 <ZeekHuge> :)
Aug 21 05:42:13 <Visaoni> Wormo: that's what they say. figured I should check it for myself
Aug 21 05:56:29 <amragaey> If I submit the link in GSoC site, is it possible to add or change some contents of my wiki document?
Aug 21 05:57:39 <amragaey> I still didn't submit it, but I'm afraid to be late!
Aug 21 05:58:14 <ZeekHuge> It definitely can be done . and as far as I understand the system .. it will be legal too..
Aug 21 05:58:53 <ZeekHuge> changing it between 23rd to 27th will be considered wrong I guess.
Aug 21 05:59:03 <ZeekHuge> better to as mentors.
Aug 21 06:00:04 <amragaey> aha, I guess that too
Aug 21 06:00:22 <amragaey> have you finished your document, ZeekHuge ?
Aug 21 06:00:49 <ZeekHuge> :s/as mentors/ask mentors/g
Aug 21 06:01:02 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: nope. Working on it. how about you ?
Aug 21 06:01:52 <amragaey> I'm waiting my mentor feedback!
Aug 21 06:02:17 <amragaey> looks like jkridner is too busy
Aug 21 06:03:00 <amragaey> good luck with your document ZeekHuge
Aug 21 06:03:25 <ZeekHuge> woah ! cool ! you are fast !
Aug 21 06:03:52 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: Thanks ! same to you ! hope jkridner likes your docs
Aug 21 06:04:34 <amragaey> Thanks : D
Aug 21 06:29:51 <Wormo> oops m_w just left
Aug 21 06:30:10 <Wormo> I noticed the compatible string in dmesg, got farther
Aug 21 06:30:11 <Wormo>  bone_capemgr bone_capemgr: compatible-baseboard=ti,beaglebone-bla
Aug 21 06:30:12 <Wormo> ck - #slots=4
Aug 21 06:30:37 <Wormo> so tried:
Aug 21 06:30:39 <Wormo> compatible = "ti,beaglebone-black";
Aug 21 06:31:00 <Wormo> and it got closer
Aug 21 06:33:40 <Visaoni> working on the disable-emmc-but-not-wifi thing?
Aug 21 06:37:48 <Wormo> yeah
Aug 21 06:38:28 <ZeekHuge> Wormo: this .swp thing in vim irritates a lot .
Aug 21 06:38:37 <ZeekHuge> any pointer how to make it useful ?
Aug 21 06:39:25 <Wormo> it is useful if the terminal goes away or something in the middle of editing
Aug 21 06:39:54 <Wormo> 'vim -r' is nice for those unexpected occasions
Aug 21 06:40:51 <Wormo> When are the .swp files getting in your way, having to keep adding them to .gitignore?
Aug 21 06:41:17 <Wormo> If vim quits normally, it shouldn't leave .swp files around...
Aug 21 06:42:14 <ZeekHuge> having to keep them adding to .gitignore as well as ignoring them while starting to edit the file.
Aug 21 06:42:31 <ZeekHuge> Once i ignore them, vim should delete that .swp file
Aug 21 06:42:48 <ZeekHuge> but it does not.
Aug 21 06:43:16 <ZeekHuge> and then .. I havent ever recovered from a .swp file.
Aug 21 06:43:19 <Wormo> well it's odd to keep having to ignore when starting vim, means you didn't quit vim when done editing last time
Aug 21 06:43:39 <ZeekHuge> and I never feel that something is missing.
Aug 21 06:43:52 <ZeekHuge> but .swp file still exists.
Aug 21 06:44:54 <Wormo> I've had swap files that were useful, say on a computer that I rebooted before remembering I was in middle of editing
Aug 21 06:45:44 <ZeekHuge> probably need to look in carefully ...
Aug 21 06:46:11 <Wormo> Is this on your dev computer, or the bbb?
Aug 21 06:46:27 <Wormo> Where you keep getting asked about existing swap files
Aug 21 06:48:37 <Wormo> afk for 15 min
Aug 21 06:51:22 <ZeekHuge> its mostly on BBB but sometimes on my system as well.
Aug 21 06:58:07 <Wormo> could it be you forget to quit vim before powering down or rebooting bbb then?
Aug 21 06:58:18 <ZeekHuge> infact .... sometimes when I try to restore a session ( vim -S )  a lot of .swp-file-related messages come ... i choose to ignore/restore and then the vim closes. none of the file gets  opened
Aug 21 07:00:20 <Wormo> so then you have to delete the swapfiles, and it's annoying
Aug 21 07:00:28 <ZeekHuge> yeah . that is usually the case. But I have always been ignoring the swp files. And i never feel that something is missing from the source.  Also I dont like that after I take a decision on the swp file, it still exists there to disturb me when I open it again. It should automatically be deleted once I take a decision on it.
Aug 21 07:01:37 <Wormo> hm I thought it gave you an option to delete it
Aug 21 07:01:42 <Wormo> rather than ignore
Aug 21 07:02:06 <ZeekHuge> a few times yes. But most of the times .. no.
Aug 21 07:02:23 <ZeekHuge> I choose Edit anyway
Aug 21 07:02:47 <ZeekHuge> if there is no 'Delete' option
Aug 21 07:03:12 <Wormo> Ok another question
Aug 21 07:03:24 <Wormo> are you sure you're not editing same file in another window?
Aug 21 07:03:40 <ZeekHuge> yes . Sure about that .
Aug 21 07:03:43 <Wormo> because it omits "Delete" option if another vim is still editing the file
Aug 21 07:04:34 <Wormo> want to start tmate and show me this issue?
Aug 21 07:04:35 <ZeekHuge> okay ... ahh ..
Aug 21 07:04:52 <ZeekHuge> I use a complex system .. that may be the issue ..
Aug 21 07:04:55 <Wormo> because mine let's me pick "Delete" unless I accidentally try to edit twice
Aug 21 07:05:29 <ZeekHuge> I first sshfs the BBB file system and mount it onto a folder on my system
Aug 21 07:05:39 <Wormo> ah
Aug 21 07:05:46 <ZeekHuge> and then edit it ... so that probably is the reason ..
Aug 21 07:06:28 <Wormo> should only be if sshfs goes away before vim quits
Aug 21 07:06:47 <ZeekHuge> This is an old setup that i did . I have a script ready to do this setup and I just invoke it.
Aug 21 07:07:17 <Wormo> well just because it is sshfs shouldn't confuse vim like that
Aug 21 07:07:19 <ZeekHuge> yeah ... I usually do not quit vim. And if BBB looses connection .. then sshfs quits
Aug 21 07:07:27 <Wormo> that's the reason then
Aug 21 07:07:43 <Wormo> well if more trouble than it's worth,
Aug 21 07:07:53 <Wormo> you can always use noswapfile
Aug 21 07:12:52 <ZeekHuge> oh .. okay. or swapfile = off . got it.
Aug 21 07:13:28 <ZeekHuge> though will first try to directly use vim on BBB rather than doing sshfs
Aug 21 15:53:43 <kiran4399> has anybody submitted the final application?
Aug 21 16:08:21 <kiran4399> can I submit this as the link in my final evaluation? https://github.com/kiran4399/bb_blue_api
Aug 21 17:54:48 <chanakya_vc> hey m_w there?
Aug 21 17:55:43 <chanakya_vc> Please take a look at this :https://github.com/chanakya-vc/PRU-I2C_SPI_master/wiki    I am going to be submitting this link
Aug 21 17:55:47 <chanakya_vc> Wormo, ^^
Aug 21 17:56:14 <chanakya_vc> I have still not added a back link to my code. I am still in the process of reorganizing things
Aug 21 17:56:29 <chanakya_vc> Should be done by tomorrow.
Aug 21 18:18:59 <m_w> hey
Aug 21 18:19:06 <m_w> I will take a look
Aug 21 18:29:15 <chanakya_vc> okay m_w . Do tell me what you think of it.
Aug 21 18:29:44 <m_w> it is a little short still
Aug 21 18:30:42 <m_w> still no code merged to master?
Aug 21 18:31:15 <chanakya_vc> No :(
Aug 21 18:31:29 <chanakya_vc> What all should I add?
Aug 21 18:31:50 <chanakya_vc> Like I think I have covered everything in SPI and I2C
Aug 21 18:32:00 <chanakya_vc> Explained everything
Aug 21 18:32:07 <chanakya_vc> m_w, ^^
Aug 21 18:32:32 <m_w> you need to explain how to use the drivers
Aug 21 18:33:31 <chanakya_vc> I have written about how the spidev3.0 node is present. In case of I2C, I have talked about using i2c-dev
Aug 21 18:34:02 <chanakya_vc> Should I write about how an protocol driver might communicate with the controller?
Aug 21 18:34:05 <chanakya_vc> m_w, ^^
Aug 21 18:34:21 <m_w> how do you load the drivers, how do you bind other driver to them?
Aug 21 18:34:57 <m_w> examples are important
Aug 21 18:35:46 <chanakya_vc> Okay. So I talk a bit of I2C and SPI protocol and algorithim drivers m_w
Aug 21 18:36:07 <chanakya_vc> Anything else? Do the diagrams look okay m_w ?
Aug 21 18:40:39 <m_w> oh! I forgot to click the links :)
Aug 21 18:41:01 <chanakya_vc> Oh lol m_w  :P
Aug 21 18:41:20 <chanakya_vc> The first page has nothing
Aug 21 18:41:41 <m_w> yes these pages look nice
Aug 21 18:42:40 <chanakya_vc> : )
Aug 21 18:43:17 <m_w> I would email your main mentors and have them comment before submitting
Aug 21 18:43:38 <chanakya_vc> Yeah I have mailed bradfa,  hopefully he will like it too
Aug 21 18:44:43 <chanakya_vc> Just one question, I am a bit confused as to how to merge things to master
Aug 21 18:44:46 <chanakya_vc> m_w,
Aug 21 18:45:37 <m_w> git checkout master
Aug 21 18:45:50 <m_w> git merge BRANCHNAME
Aug 21 18:46:21 <chanakya_vc> Okay after that I would change my origin as well in my local copy?
Aug 21 18:46:46 <chanakya_vc> Like all the stuff I push I want to push to the master branch after that
Aug 21 18:47:05 <chanakya_vc> or I will just say git origin push master
Aug 21 18:47:10 <chanakya_vc> m_w, ^^
Aug 21 18:47:14 <m_w> yup
Aug 21 18:47:46 <m_w> the will push the changes to the remote (github repo)
Aug 21 18:48:13 <m_w> that
Aug 21 18:48:31 <m_w> https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging
Aug 21 18:49:22 <chanakya_vc> Okay thanks m_w .
Aug 21 18:49:49 <chanakya_vc> Will you be online on irc even after GSOC?
Aug 21 18:50:35 <m_w> yes
Aug 21 18:50:59 <chanakya_vc> Yayy.... would love to keep in touch. I have learnt so much from you
Aug 21 18:51:01 <m_w> maybe not on this channel but I will continue to use IRC
Aug 21 18:51:11 <chanakya_vc> Ohh ..
Aug 21 18:51:22 <chanakya_vc> beagle maybe?
Aug 21 18:51:30 <m_w> maybe
Aug 21 18:51:59 <m_w> I guess I could hang around in this channel occasionally
Aug 21 18:52:28 <chanakya_vc> I am actully kind of sad that GSOC is ending. I so used to love working at night and talking to you and the other mentors
Aug 21 18:52:31 <chanakya_vc> Life will be back to boring stuff now
Aug 21 18:53:53 <chanakya_vc> I will mail you perhaps as I work with implementing DMA in my code m_w that is if I don't catch you on the irc
Aug 21 18:54:05 <m_w> sure
Aug 21 18:54:35 <chanakya_vc> Anyway, bye m_w
Aug 21 18:54:44 <chanakya_vc> Got to sleep.
Aug 21 18:54:52 <chanakya_vc> Thanks once again for your help!
Aug 21 18:57:20 <m_w> no problem, it was fun
Aug 21 19:12:19 <kiran4399> anyone there?
Aug 21 19:12:32 <kiran4399> I wrote a device driver whyich writes to the shared memory..
Aug 21 19:12:41 <kiran4399> but when I read from the shared memory..
Aug 21 19:12:59 <kiran4399> I get an infinite garbage values??
Aug 21 19:13:03 <kiran4399> *infinite
Aug 21 19:13:23 <kiran4399> m_w: any suggestions?
Aug 21 19:20:36 <m_w> kiran4399: not sure, is your latest code posted to github?
Aug 21 19:44:03 <kiran4399> m_w: there?
Aug 21 19:44:06 <kiran4399> m_w: https://github.com/kiran4399/bbb_pru_firmware/blob/master/servo/servo_sysfs.c
Aug 21 19:58:55 <Wormo> kiran4399: there are some buffer handling bugs
Aug 21 20:00:07 <Wormo> for one, set_val only gets allocated 2 bytes, but pwm_write() uses up to 6 bytes in it, that's not good
Aug 21 20:03:46 <Wormo> two, also in pwm_write(), it looks like one byte from the address of set_val is being written, rather than a byte of its contents
Aug 21 20:17:03 <amragaey> hi jkridner|pd , in Hardware.add(pin, mode, state) and Hardware.write(pin, state) .. you mean by 'state' High or Low, right ?
Aug 21 20:44:39 <m_w> Wormo thank responding to kiran4399
Aug 21 20:44:47 <m_w> Thanks
