**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Feb 13 03:00:02 2017 Feb 13 12:55:27 gm all Feb 13 13:28:13 gm Feb 13 13:30:42 Hey everyone Feb 13 13:34:10 hi r Feb 13 18:28:12 ?help Feb 13 18:48:36 ? Feb 13 19:42:46 zeekhuge: did you implement IIO for BeagleScope? Feb 13 19:43:20 jkridner: yeah . Feb 13 19:43:28 oh, nice! Feb 13 19:45:06 Though its not very clean implementation, mostly because of the data we receive from the PRUs is in a RPMsg buffer and the current implementation transfers that data to the IIO buffer (using a loop as there is no support for bulk copy in the IIO buffers.) Feb 13 19:47:31 jkridner: ^^ Feb 13 19:47:36 k Feb 13 19:50:08 ds2: you going to be at ELC next week? Feb 13 19:51:16 jkridner: no. no budget to got up to Portland Feb 13 19:51:36 going down to SCALE though Feb 13 21:01:18 zeekhuge: any updates to the slides you sent me last year? Feb 13 21:02:48 pdp7: when do you need it ? Feb 13 21:03:10 My talk about GSoC is Wednesday Feb 22 Feb 13 21:03:14 the earlier the better Feb 13 21:04:34 pdp7: sorry, can't commit but I will try. Feb 13 21:04:35 zeekhuge: this is the most recent i have from you https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zg1xkTFopMoNXzsB5GR5wVOSZniu7PDNhZxmTtDPXXA/edit?usp=gmail Feb 13 21:04:40 zeekhuge: Feb 13 21:04:52 zeekhuge: no problem, just a bonus if you have anything new Feb 13 21:05:23 https://openiotelcna2017.sched.com/event/9Itv/google-summer-of-code-and-beagleboardorg-drew-fustini-beagleboardorg-foundation?iframe=yes&w=100%&sidebar=yes&bg=no# Feb 13 21:05:30 Wednesday, February 22 • 11:30am - 12:20pm Feb 13 21:06:12 Okay. Got it. Feb 13 21:06:18 Thanks :) Feb 13 21:06:20 "Google Summer of Code and BeagleBoard.org" Feb 13 21:06:22 thank you! Feb 13 21:06:58 jkridner is right before me with https://openiotelcna2017.sched.com/event/9Itr/educational-robotics-critical-for-the-future-of-linux-jason-kridner-texas-instruments?iframe=yes&w=100%&sidebar=yes&bg=no# Feb 13 21:07:02 Educational Robotics Critical for the Future of Linux - Jason Kridner, Texas Instruments Feb 13 21:11:03 ALL: Any past Google Summer of Code projects that I should be sure to highlight in my talk next week at ELC? Feb 13 21:11:06 I currently have slides on BeagleLogic, BeaglePilot, BeagleSat, and each of the 2016 projects. Feb 13 21:11:21 slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3V5Z3cW19jKMVM4Nmotb1RkSmlnVWY0bVI0SlI1M2w4VGZn/view Feb 13 21:12:21 I liked "USB Sniffer" Feb 13 21:13:35 oh... let me look for that one Feb 13 21:13:38 sounds useful! Feb 13 21:13:58 http://beagleboard.org/project/usbsniffer/ Feb 13 21:14:01 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/2010_Projects/USBSniffer Feb 13 21:14:09 Google Summer of Code 2010 Project Feb 13 21:14:09 Student: Nicolas Boichat Feb 13 21:14:11 Mentors: Hunyue Yau, Frans Meulenbroeks Feb 13 21:14:19 interesting, thanks jkridner Feb 13 21:16:04 userspace-arduino isn't all that useful, but it was the predecessor to Gallileo (despite GPL violation), which is an interesting story. ;) Feb 13 21:16:42 I really liked C6run at the time, but OpenCL supersedes it. Feb 13 21:17:18 XBMC project was the initial port to ARM and brought many optimizations that led to XBMC on Pi, but that's probably not so interesting now. Feb 13 21:17:43 oh wow, i didn't realize that Feb 13 21:18:06 That's good to know that BeagleBoard was the first ARM port of XBMC Feb 13 21:19:03 I still find PRUspeak interesting, but it is difficult to reproduce. Similar with the Bone101 BBUI. Feb 13 21:19:36 me really needs to embed the http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/2016_Projects videos on http://bbb.io/gsoc Feb 13 21:53:32 jkridner: you have any specific software needs for the blue? Feb 13 21:53:54 m_w: lots of non-specifics. Feb 13 21:54:02 security fix-ups. Feb 13 21:54:04 * pdp7 wonders if it is same sensors on your robo mezzi? Feb 13 21:54:16 moving stuff to the kernel Feb 13 21:54:27 how-to guides. Feb 13 21:54:28 m_w is good at that :) Feb 13 21:54:43 okay I can mainline the devicetree and device drivers Feb 13 21:54:58 nice Feb 13 21:55:03 demos of all sorts. ROS support. Ardupilot support. Feedback on LabVIEW Home. Feb 13 21:55:12 m_w: that'd be cool. Feb 13 21:55:14 any out of tree drivers being used? Feb 13 21:55:19 jkridner: what is that IMU? and the kernel driver? Feb 13 21:55:26 jinx ;) Feb 13 21:55:27 mpu9250 Feb 13 21:55:29 eQEP is still out-of-tree, I believe. Feb 13 21:55:35 yes Feb 13 21:55:38 it is Feb 13 21:55:45 thats all? Feb 13 21:55:47 mpu-9250 support is currently userspace, so even worse. Feb 13 21:55:59 I can help with that Feb 13 21:55:59 at least under the Strawson API. Feb 13 21:56:04 https://strawsondesign.com Feb 13 21:56:15 did you connect the mpu9250 with spi or i2c? Feb 13 21:56:19 re: eqep, i've been looking at this: https://lwn.net/Articles/699865/ Feb 13 21:56:20 William Breathitt Gray (2): iio: Implement counter channel type and info constants iio: 104-quad-8: Add IIO support for the ACCES 104-QUAD-8 Feb 13 21:56:42 not sure about BMP280. Feb 13 21:56:48 yeah iio added counter support Feb 13 21:57:15 I think PWM support is mainline for the DC motor drivers, but the PWM for servos is using PRUs. Feb 13 21:57:51 bmp280 has been supported in IIO for a while Feb 13 21:57:57 so, loaded with remote-proc, but mmap() interface after that. No RPmsg. Feb 13 21:58:12 that needs work Feb 13 21:58:29 performance (latency) under the Strawson API needs to be same or better. Feb 13 21:58:42 m_w: you'll be at ELC next week, right? :) Feb 13 21:58:53 yes Feb 13 21:58:58 and scale Feb 13 21:58:59 I'll bring a few there. Feb 13 21:59:02 ELC that is. Feb 13 21:59:10 not making it to SCaLE this year. Feb 13 21:59:27 Should I bring the table cloth and other stuff for SCaLE to ELC? Feb 13 21:59:36 not sure what else is needed. An X15. Feb 13 21:59:52 sure Feb 13 22:00:12 otherwise you can ship it to ds2 since he will be at scale Feb 13 22:01:34 I got the mpu9250 to work with the mainline for robomezzi Feb 13 22:01:46 well accept the magnetometer Feb 13 22:02:11 it is easier to support if you use i2c but I used spi Feb 13 22:03:39 I can come up with a kernel task list for mainlining the blue Feb 13 22:04:00 will probably do the sample for the pocketbone if I have time Feb 13 22:04:12 *the same Feb 13 22:06:08 I should let you guys know that I am moving back to Illinois soon so I might be out of pocket for a week or so next month Feb 13 22:06:21 wow, which part? Feb 13 22:06:36 * pdp7 hopes Chicago :) Feb 13 22:06:40 back to Carbondale for now Feb 13 22:06:47 the other C Feb 13 22:07:35 it is pretty far from Chicago but it is in Illinois Feb 13 22:08:03 gonna be pretty hectic moving my business again Feb 13 22:09:11 Illinois is not really business friendly either Feb 13 22:12:26 Illinois is... Illinois ;_; Feb 13 22:12:52 probably try to setup a hackerspace there if I can find a good place to host it Feb 13 22:13:01 that'd be great! Feb 13 22:13:08 the one they had nearby died Feb 13 22:13:58 aw, that's too bad Feb 13 22:14:24 hey, you can recruit GSoC students from the big SIU campus :) Feb 13 22:14:39 certainly Feb 13 22:16:27 it is easier working with local students Feb 13 22:16:52 last year I was getting texts in the middle of the night Feb 13 22:21:22 yeah, timezone makes a big difference for synchronous comm Feb 13 22:29:20 pdp7: you gonna mentor this year? Feb 13 22:30:35 no, don't think I would have the time to do it. Feb 13 22:37:56 like I do? :D Feb 13 22:40:45 hi, unfortunately, being a mentor is a full time job Feb 13 22:46:02 if there were more mentors it would be better to share projects Feb 13 22:54:32 good point Feb 13 22:55:00 helping edgewise is still good Feb 13 22:55:45 unofficial mentors like jic23 were quite helpful Feb 13 22:56:14 looks like he put himself in the list of mentors this year Feb 13 22:56:42 pmezydlo: anything you'd like me to include about your project last year in my GSoC talk at Emebbed Linux Conference next week? Feb 13 22:56:56 m_w: that was awesome you got the creator and maintainer of IIO :) Feb 13 22:57:42 pmezydlo: if you happen to think of anything, please email drew@beagleboard.org. my talk is Wed, Feb 22. Feb 13 22:58:38 pdp7: I will write a few lines about my project Feb 13 22:59:01 pmezydlo: thanks! Feb 13 22:59:16 pdp7: it was a really cool project, gave me a lot Feb 13 22:59:57 * pdp7 going away for a bit Feb 13 23:00:07 later pdp7 Feb 13 23:01:06 just swim upstream and you will get to know some great developers Feb 13 23:02:45 I asked Marek, whether he want to be a mentor Feb 13 23:04:01 he says "I will think about it" Feb 13 23:04:58 my final project on my university will be based on beaglebone Feb 13 23:22:25 pmezydlo: what is the project? Feb 13 23:24:20 jkridner|pd: can you be more specific about the form? Feb 13 23:24:30 form? Feb 13 23:24:53 https://beagleboard.org/give Feb 13 23:25:44 am i asking to ship stuff to me? what am i doing with it? raffle or something? Feb 13 23:26:02 yeah I was kind of wondering the same Feb 13 23:26:06 m_w: I'm not quite sure in 100%, the topic is "control of measurement devices" Feb 13 23:26:50 pmezydlo: cool Feb 13 23:27:00 m_w: it is about creating a network of measuring devices, and easy tools for data collection Feb 13 23:28:07 a bit high-programming Feb 13 23:29:35 not necessarily I like it but it is easier Feb 13 23:47:34 jkridner: is it past nap time? Feb 14 02:51:27 baby just gone to bed. Feb 14 02:53:13 is there a mtg this wed? Feb 14 02:53:34 yes Feb 14 02:53:51 same time? Feb 14 02:53:54 yup Feb 14 02:56:17 jkridner: so what am i doing with the form? Feb 14 02:56:41 oh... it is just to give me the address. Feb 14 02:56:45 is it borrow-only or do we raffle one or two? Feb 14 02:57:03 then how much do i need to fill out? Feb 14 02:57:15 you'll need to remind me why I'm giving a board, that's all. Feb 14 02:57:18 is nerdboy the "volunteer" to ship tablecloth, etc back? :D **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Feb 14 03:00:02 2017
