**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Mar 05 03:00:02 2017 Mar 05 03:54:32 beagleslackbot: I tried to contact through a comment on github gist, but I've now deleted the comment as now I want to explore more of the bbblfs code myself before asking more questions. I'm learning the underlying basics from book 'Building Embedded Linux Systems' . By the next Official meeting, I'm looking to have a pretty good knowledge of the Mar 05 03:54:33 project and I'll be then discussing more of the project and asking more worthy questions. Thanks! Mar 05 04:24:15 ravikp7: hi Mar 05 04:24:41 uka_in: Hi Mar 05 04:25:17 i am interested in the porting bootloader from c to node.js project Mar 05 04:26:25 i went through all backlogs and links given in description Mar 05 04:27:12 and was able to visualize the task.. Mar 05 04:27:34 uka_in : I'm an applicant just like you interested in the same project. Mar 05 04:27:42 yup Mar 05 04:27:55 but i have some basic doubts Mar 05 04:28:28 like why do we need kernel cross compilation for this project? Mar 05 04:28:42 uka_in: Just ask the questions, anybody having the knowledge, will answer you Mar 05 04:29:11 uka_in: I have contacted the mentor regarding this project. Mar 05 04:29:23 on mailing list?? Mar 05 04:29:34 uka_in: No, here on irc Mar 05 04:29:45 ok Mar 05 04:29:46 uka_in: I can tell you what he told me Mar 05 04:29:56 please go ahead Mar 05 04:30:25 also do we need to submit our proposal through elinux wiki pages?? Mar 05 04:32:01 uka_in: You should have the knowledge of AM3358 datasheet and TRM sections on the bootloader are critical, but BBBlfs already handles most of the details. It is just important that you have a good picture of what BBBlfs is doing. Mar 05 04:32:01 getting familiar with the u-boot UMS features are important Mar 05 04:32:28 ravikp7: beagleslackbot is a (as the name suggests) a slack bot (probably), that keeps the beagle-gsoc channle on Slack (dont know that exact name of the channel) and this IRC channel in sync. That message was actually by jkridner and he replied through the slack channel . (what is slack ? = ) Mar 05 04:32:45 ya so we are building our project on bbblfs Mar 05 04:34:03 zeekhuge: I also had the same idea. So I replied him through beagleslackbot. Mar 05 04:34:05 also , what will be the use of node usb?? Mar 05 04:35:10 ravikp7: why do we need to interface node.js with usb?? i mean we can directly run bbblfs scripts Mar 05 04:35:19 uka_in: node usb is a node library used to access the usb devices through node js. Mar 05 04:36:12 uka_in : Give it some thought, try exploring internet regarding the same. Mar 05 04:39:16 zeekhuge: Was it the right way doing it ? replying through the bot ? Mar 05 04:41:10 ravikp7:i went through bbblfs doc and found that we can simply boot into bbb via usb, so since bbblfs will handle the part of loading the image into bbb. why do we need to use nodeusb?? Mar 05 04:42:03 ravikp7: I dont think so replying TO the bot will send your message to that channel. Right way would be just to reply to jkridner when he is back. Mar 05 04:42:32 zeekhuge: Thanks Mar 05 04:42:55 uka_in: You're not getting it right actually, the project is about porting the usb based bootloader server from c to js Mar 05 04:43:21 uka_in: Currently bbblfs works only on Linux systems. Mar 05 04:43:29 yup Mar 05 04:44:05 uka_in: porting it into node js would make it to work cross platform Mar 05 04:44:30 uka_in: Windows, Mac Mar 05 04:44:40 oh..... my bad. got that Mar 05 04:45:13 also for project proposal do we need to use elnux wiki page? Mar 05 04:45:28 uka_in: I have no idea Mar 05 04:46:28 uka_in: project proposal can only be made after understanding the problem and solution correctly. Mar 05 04:46:49 uka_in: Learn about the things asked by the mentor. Mar 05 04:47:12 uka_in: I'm also doing the same. Mar 05 04:47:57 can u please tell in general the time when jkridner stays online?? Mar 05 04:48:34 uka_in: Check out the official meeting time. Probably the same time. Mar 05 04:48:49 ok , thanks Mar 05 04:49:11 uka_in: So, we're preparing for same project. All the best. I love competition. Mar 05 04:49:34 me too.....;-) Mar 05 11:47:12 hii!!! everybody, this is naveen saini from india looking to contribute as gsoc project Mar 05 11:48:22 would like to get help on BeagleBone Sonic Anemometer / Basic Weather Station Mar 05 14:31:32 hii anyone up for query Mar 05 14:39:52 hi Mar 05 14:39:59 hi Mar 05 15:57:11 Zeekhuge : Hey, sorry had to urgently leave yesterday. Actually, I was unable to SSH just after the resolv.conf modifications to use static IP instead of Dhcp . I partially guess there may be a problem of conflicting Ip's. Mar 06 00:20:09 Hello (= Mar 06 00:20:37 I start talking abou the gsoc alone? (feel kind of strange)... Mar 06 00:22:32 So im interested in this two beautiful ideas: BeagleBone Remote Seismometer Node and BeagleBone Sonic Anemometer / Basic Weather Station, so if nerdyboy see that, pls say anything, the other mentor don't have a irc id in the gsocideas page Mar 06 00:22:54 And if any mentor want to talk about security,cryptocape and thoses things, pls say anything (: Mar 06 02:00:49 Hello nerdyboy :D Mar 06 02:01:06 nerdboy * Mar 06 02:01:41 hola Mar 06 02:02:49 Hello, did you see what i said earlier? (olá, it's more normal to me (: ) Mar 06 02:27:19 i was @ SCaLE all weekend so probably not... Mar 06 02:33:06 oh ok (: Mar 06 02:33:09 so nerdboy: [21:22] So im interested in this two beautiful ideas: BeagleBone Remote Seismometer Node and BeagleBone Sonic Anemometer / Basic Weather Station, so if nerdyboy see that, pls say anything, the other mentor don't have a irc id in the gsocideas page [21:22] And if any mentor want to talk about security,cryptocape and thoses things, pls say anything (: Mar 06 02:37:31 well, you should probably pick one Mar 06 02:44:52 if you can't decide, flip a coin Mar 06 02:45:06 if it makes you go "oh crap..." pick the other one Mar 06 02:52:38 But, it's a quantum coin, if i flip it i will kill the cat :( Mar 06 02:54:55 Ok, i see much people talking about the Seismometer , so i will go to the weather station Mar 06 02:56:22 there are existing code examples for that Mar 06 02:57:06 one undocumented from univ of chile and the one from last year using the (shitty) eval board Mar 06 02:57:29 he switched to prudaq at the last minute Mar 06 02:57:56 BTW, the cat can already be dead, you dont know its real state until you actually observe :P **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 06 03:00:00 2017
