Jan 30 19:30:52 <carpediem_> jkridner: Hi!
Jan 30 19:30:56 <jkridner> howdy
Jan 30 19:31:14 <carpediem_> I was looking the BBBlfs project
Jan 30 19:31:48 <carpediem_> But I do not understand how to port the entire thing to etcher.io
Jan 30 19:32:11 <carpediem_> What exactly are we trying to accomplish here
Jan 30 19:32:55 <jkridner> libusb is the critical element. That would need to be exposed under Electron (or an equivalent).
Jan 30 19:32:55 <zeekhuge> BBBlfs is working ? tried it but couldnt get it to work.
Jan 30 19:32:55 <jkridner> Goal is to make an app that can boot the BeagleBone over USB and load u-boot to put it in UMS mode.
Jan 30 19:32:55 <carpediem_> Yes. It is working perfectly for me. :)
Jan 30 19:32:56 <zeekhuge> Anyway .. continue please /
Jan 30 19:32:56 <jkridner> zeekhuge: yeah, I've used it several times. kinda picky though.
Jan 30 19:33:03 <carpediem_> Although I have BBB Rev B
Jan 30 19:33:04 <jkridner> Works best on a Linux host.
Jan 30 19:33:20 <carpediem_> Is that a concern?
Jan 30 19:33:25 <zeekhuge> I tried on my Linux system. Will give it try again.
Jan 30 19:34:22 <carpediem_> So what I understand so far, the objective is to be able to connect the BBB and flash it using etcher.io
Jan 30 19:34:34 <carpediem_> Abstracting away all background work
Jan 30 19:34:58 <carpediem_> And even replacing the simple script (as now in BBBlfs) with a pretty frontend
Jan 30 19:36:59 <jkridner> carpediem_: yes. Boot it over USB, put it in UMS mode, then pull down the latest image from https://beagleboard.org/latest-images and write that to the eMMC.
Jan 30 19:37:08 <jkridner> carpediem_: huge complication solver for new BeagleBone users.
Jan 30 19:37:40 <jkridner> The fact Electron includes a web browser also means that bone101 can be pulled up after the reboot.
Jan 30 19:37:47 <jkridner> And the Cloud9 IDE.
Jan 30 19:38:15 <carpediem_> That sounds pretty interesting.
Jan 30 19:41:06 <carpediem_> jkridner: You mentioned one more project regarding the interactive Assembler. How would that be different from PRUSpeak?
Jan 30 19:41:30 <jkridner> carpediem_: the big difference would be the syntax.
Jan 30 19:41:55 <jkridner> carpediem_: it would support the native assembly instructions and the PRUSpeak instructions would all be implemented as macros.
Jan 30 19:42:23 <jkridner> it would put pasm into the kernel itself.
Jan 30 19:42:42 <jkridner> (hopefully the license is good for that)
Jan 30 19:42:57 <carpediem_> That's great
Jan 30 19:43:15 <carpediem_> Pretty big and solid project
Jan 30 19:43:43 <carpediem_> Any other cool projects in mind? :)
Jan 30 20:00:36 <carpediem_> jkridner: It's a bit late here in India :) . Gotta go. Thank you for clearing up the doubts. Will get back to you in a few days.
Jan 30 21:27:32 <chanakya_vc> jkridner, m_w  Hey!
Jan 30 21:28:04 <chanakya_vc> Has the project list been announced? I could not find any of these ideas on the elinux page
Jan 30 21:28:55 <chanakya_vc> *ideas list
Jan 30 22:42:14 <nerdboy> what ideas?
Jan 30 22:42:41 <zeekhuge> hi nerdboy !
Jan 30 22:43:04 <nerdboy> hey zeekhuge
Jan 30 22:43:09 <zeekhuge> it was your birthday yesterday ? I think
Jan 30 22:43:26 <zeekhuge> happy belated birthday
Jan 30 22:43:42 <nerdboy> yup i guess google/faceplant knows everything...
Jan 30 22:44:19 <zeekhuge> oh yes. Google calender told me about it.
Jan 30 22:44:25 <zeekhuge> :)
