Jul 05 03:07:40 <nerdboy> do you have any idea what the old pwm pins map to?
Jul 05 05:05:29 <nerdboy> so, maybe a little closer but still stuck on no proper pwm device to configure for the prudaq clock
Jul 05 15:48:46 <ds2> hmmm
Jul 05 15:52:30 <_av500_> aooo
Jul 05 15:54:03 <pmezydlo> hello :

Jul 05 16:08:06 <thetransformerr[> hi I am sorry
Jul 05 16:08:34 <thetransformerr[> I was not able to catch up becuase I was out of town since yesterday
Jul 05 16:09:07 <_av500_> ok, so 6/6
Jul 05 16:09:10 <_av500_> we can start

Jul 05 16:10:33 <maciejjo> mine is up
Jul 05 16:10:42 <ee> I think ds2 was saying that we have all except transformer's
Jul 05 16:10:58 <pmezydlo> I see 4/6 i'm not sure, mine is up
Jul 05 16:10:59 <thetransformerr[> I sent it yesterday
Jul 05 16:11:06 <ee> sorry, my mistake

Jul 05 16:14:09 <ee> ^
Jul 05 16:14:09 <thetransformerr[> sorry, but I was not in reach of internet
Jul 05 16:14:19 <ravikp7> thanks to all mentors :)
Jul 05 16:14:20 <thetransformerr[> thanks av500 :
Jul 05 16:14:33 <Abhishek_> maciejjo: I see last push to GitHub was made last week, where is this week's code?
Jul 05 16:14:35 <thetransformerr[> and all our mentors
Jul 05 16:14:55 <maciejjo> Abhishek_: I pushed lately on a branch
Jul 05 16:16:39 <_av500_> ok, back to schedule
Jul 05 16:16:41 <_av500_> 2) report
Jul 05 16:16:53 <_av500_> one missing, thetransformerr[ please send it ASAP
Jul 05 16:17:11 <m_w> _av500_: he just sent it
Jul 05 16:17:17 <thetransformerr[> I have sent it again plz check it now
Jul 05 16:17:34 <_av500_> ah ok
Jul 05 16:17:45 <_av500_> ok
Jul 05 16:17:57 <_av500_> so, anybody blocked on anything?
Jul 05 16:18:33 <thetransformerr[> nope
Jul 05 16:18:38 <pmezydlo> it's ok
Jul 05 16:18:43 <ee> I've been having a little bit of trouble with the Rust implementation of the I2C/UART stuff bit I think I'll be fine, just need to work on it some more
Jul 05 16:19:19 <thetransformerr[> although we had agreed to make a significant change in method of calculation, now we are
Jul 05 16:19:26 <ee> I will just have to step out for a moment, should be back in <5 mins
Jul 05 16:20:18 <thetransformerr[> just measuring time of delay for one direction rather than both direction for a single axis,
Jul 05 16:20:27 <ravikp7> not blocked, as I've started working on integrating server with flash tool, but due to uboot tftp issues, server's working on OSX and Windows is still not done
Jul 05 16:21:02 <_av500_> niche system :)
Jul 05 16:21:17 <_av500_> ok
Jul 05 16:21:29 <_av500_> so it seems you are all set for another week of work :)
Jul 05 16:22:03 <_av500_> then we do
Jul 05 16:22:06 <thetransformerr[> yes we are :)
Jul 05 16:22:16 <_av500_> 3) standup reports
Jul 05 16:22:27 <_av500_> ee and ravikp7 this week
Jul 05 16:22:35 <_av500_> grab the mike
Jul 05 16:22:47 <ravikp7> I'll start
Jul 05 16:23:06 <ee> back
Jul 05 16:23:47 <ravikp7> So, I started the project with the development of bootloader server
Jul 05 16:25:26 <ravikp7> Earlier, it was implemented synchronously, which could create issues when integrated with flashing tool, as code was blocking. and JS means we should async.
Jul 05 16:26:48 <ravikp7> So, I implemented async through promises last week which was compilcated, so I made the server event driven as suggested by jkridner , so problem was solved
Jul 05 16:27:56 <ravikp7> I also tried flashing beaglebone black with etcher tool, no problems with that
Jul 05 16:28:49 <ravikp7> I didn't receive any helpful replies in uboot mailing list to fix the uboot tftp issue, so I moved forward with integrating server with etcher tool
Jul 05 16:30:11 <ravikp7> This week, I also got my some concepts cleared of node.js working, and learnt Angular for UI design.
Jul 05 16:31:36 <ravikp7> I've started to modify the UI of etcher tool to add a button which can run the server prior to the flashing process and make some style changes
Jul 05 16:31:59 <ravikp7> I expect to complete the UI this week
Jul 05 16:32:20 <ravikp7> That's all from my side, any questions, suggestions?
Jul 05 16:32:23 <ravikp7> Thanks
Jul 05 16:33:10 <_av500_> so it does not work on windows, but on mac?
Jul 05 16:33:30 <ravikp7> only linux for now
Jul 05 16:33:33 <_av500_> ah
Jul 05 16:33:41 <_av500_> important OS first
Jul 05 16:34:15 <ee> ^ hahaha
Jul 05 16:34:21 <ravikp7> :)
Jul 05 16:34:28 <pmezydlo> Someone uses windows?
Jul 05 16:34:58 <thetransformerr[> windows is so conventional ;)
Jul 05 16:35:15 <thetransformerr[> ee: your turn
Jul 05 16:35:56 <ee> Sure. Only a short report this week since I've still got to push the work upstream.
Jul 05 16:36:27 <ee> Basically I've finished all of the "easy" stuff so far on the Rust side (GPIO, ADC, PWM etc) and am left with I2C, UART, and SPI
Jul 05 16:37:23 <ee> These last few have proved tricky to write cleanly, and I had been struggling with the UART implementation (had to rewrite more than once)
Jul 05 16:37:52 <ee> I've got one sitting on my drive at home which is decent, but it's still not up to my standards so I will continue to work on it
Jul 05 16:38:33 <ee> for the I2C things are moving along but warning to anyone working with syscalls in Rust, it kinda sucks
Jul 05 16:38:44 <ee> the ffi is a little clunky, but I'm making do
Jul 05 16:40:20 <ee> Other than that I've been going over guidelines and design patterns and have identified a bunch of improvements that I will make before declaring the lib usable. A bunch of implementation/performance improvements, and a couple of usability/documentation/example fixes/additions too.
Jul 05 16:41:00 <ee> So overall i'm not as far along as I'd like to be, but things are coming along
Jul 05 16:41:44 <ee> I think that's it for this week
Jul 05 16:42:11 <_av500_> right after email, UART is the next hardest thing :)
Jul 05 16:42:22 <ee> heh yep
Jul 05 16:42:31 <_av500_> mdp: ^^^^
Jul 05 16:42:35 <_av500_> ok, thanks
Jul 05 16:42:49 <_av500_> next week are
Jul 05 16:42:52 <ee> I was debating just doing it the "dumb" way and using the stty command to change speeds etc, but that's like cheating!
Jul 05 16:42:57 <pmezydlo> I and ?
Jul 05 16:43:00 <_av500_> pmezydlo and maciejjo
Jul 05 16:43:04 <_av500_> according to my list
Jul 05 16:43:07 <maciejjo> yes
Jul 05 16:43:10 <_av500_> ok
Jul 05 16:43:19 <_av500_> 4) anything else?
Jul 05 16:43:40 <thetransformerr[> a little dumb question,mov r30, (1 << 1) | (1 << 3) | 0x1 this means we are first loading 1 then shift it by 3 bits left and then 1 again
Jul 05 16:43:48 <thetransformerr[> mov r30, (1 << 1) | (1 << 3) | 0x1
Jul 05 16:44:26 <ee> Is jkridner going to be around? I have a hardware request and he owes me one from the customs fees
Jul 05 16:44:35 <_av500_> ee: he should be
Jul 05 16:44:46 <_av500_> if not, please email and CC me
Jul 05 16:45:03 <m_w> 0xb
Jul 05 16:45:36 <thetransformerr[> and am i right in my interpretation
Jul 05 16:45:53 <ee> _av500_: got it, thanks :)
Jul 05 16:47:14 <maciejjo> sorry, I have to run now, will be back in few h, so I will answer then if needed
Jul 05 16:47:49 <thetransformerr[> m_w:  please mention the steps that this code executes
Jul 05 16:48:01 <ds2> thetransformerr[: did the sensors arrive yet?
Jul 05 16:49:02 <thetransformerr[> nope, i havent even yet received any tracking thing :(
Jul 05 16:50:07 <ds2> _av500_: does the someone need to follow up the stuff for thetransformerr[?
Jul 05 16:52:44 <ravikp7> thetransformerr: just do the shifting and bitwise or , move should be last step
Jul 05 16:55:00 <_av500_> ds2: you tell me
Jul 05 16:55:15 <_av500_> thetransformerr[: what is blocking?
Jul 05 16:55:46 <thetransformerr[> it was maxq board I guess that ds2 have received
Jul 05 16:56:24 <thetransformerr[> I need it too to complete the apparatus to put it up for testing
Jul 05 16:57:37 <ds2> _av500_: I have no idea if it was ordered or sent
Jul 05 16:59:00 <_av500_> ah
Jul 05 16:59:07 <m_w> thetransformerr[: what do you mean?
Jul 05 16:59:10 <_av500_> so can you please send that as a mail to jk and CC me?
Jul 05 17:00:34 <thetransformerr[> m_w: I was asking about the bit shifting procedure just to verify If I am correct
Jul 05 17:00:56 <thetransformerr[> so how did you reached 0xb
Jul 05 17:01:58 <ds2> _av500_: I send or?
Jul 05 17:02:16 <m_w> (1 << 1) = 2, (1 << 3) = 8, so 0x2 | 0x8 | 0x1 = 0xb
Jul 05 17:03:19 <thetransformerr[> okk thanks, I did it by literally shifting them after writing in binary form
Jul 05 17:04:26 <thetransformerr[> av500:do I have to send email?
Jul 05 17:04:54 <thetransformerr[> ds2: pls specify the board name exactly..
Jul 05 17:06:18 <zeekhuge> maciejjo: can you explain the project status in a bit more detail (as compared to the report) ?
Jul 05 17:06:32 <ravikp7> thetransformerr: should be same even in binary
Jul 05 17:06:48 <zeekhuge> maciejjo: specifically how are you planning and doing config transfer to the PRUs ..
Jul 05 17:06:51 <thetransformerr[> yeah it is but it usually required pen and paper
Jul 05 17:07:49 <thetransformerr[> although even now I do require binary form as every bit controls some h/w
Jul 05 17:08:15 <thetransformerr[> but I didnt knew about this method
Jul 05 17:08:37 <nerdboy> jkridner knows the board/item number, the last i heard they were all shipped out but i have no status on the e14.in order
Jul 05 17:08:56 <nerdboy> or any other orders except mine, which came last week
Jul 05 17:09:19 * nerdboy forgot to say he was blocked by cats...
Jul 05 17:09:40 <thetransformerr[> e14 is turning out big headache, as they always mess up something to delay in order
Jul 05 17:10:33 <nerdboy> i think we thought e14.in would be "easiest"
Jul 05 17:11:09 <thetransformerr[> however if it is ordered on e14 recently, we might not face previous difficulties I faced, because GST is implemented, that eases the intra state transfer
Jul 05 17:12:15 <thetransformerr[> either JKRIDNER: is doing something wrong or e14 is messing up somehow
Jul 05 17:12:44 <thetransformerr[> because last time they replied that they are not allowed to serve retail customers
Jul 05 17:12:56 <thetransformerr[> they were only b2b
Jul 05 17:14:06 <ds2> nerdboy: are you sure teh one for thetransformerr[ has been ordered?
Jul 05 17:23:37 <zeekhuge> maciejjo: Its the meeting day. you should be AT LEAST available this day ..
Jul 05 17:25:24 <nerdboy> that was the last thing jkridner said but other than that i know nothing...
Jul 05 17:26:35 <thetransformerr[> so who is sending the email?
Jul 05 17:42:08 <nerdboy> i sent one, reply to previous oreder sending email...
Jul 05 17:45:55 <ds2> *nod*
Jul 05 17:46:02 <ds2> nerdboy: is your setup working now?
Jul 05 17:51:41 <nerdboy> i have the mods done on the boards, but i didn't have anything to hook them up to (sig-gen, scope) so i was trying to get beaglelogic prudaq firmware working on 4.9 stretch
Jul 05 17:53:02 <ds2> nerdboy: are you setting 2 boards (One RX, One TX) or just 1 (reflection tests)?
Jul 05 17:53:07 <nerdboy> once something does anything i guess i can put it online for thetransformerr[ to login to
Jul 05 17:53:21 <ds2> 'k
Jul 05 17:53:47 <nerdboy> i have them setup/soldered like you said
Jul 05 17:53:58 <nerdboy> one is tx and one is rx
Jul 05 17:54:38 <nerdboy> would need to solder more stuff to make them do both
Jul 05 17:54:55 <ds2> no
Jul 05 17:55:00 <ds2> my mods will do both on one board
Jul 05 17:55:09 <ds2> unless you broke up my 3 things
Jul 05 17:55:59 <nerdboy> i meant physically
Jul 05 17:56:15 <nerdboy> one board has a diode and the other one has output leads
Jul 05 17:57:45 <nerdboy> not so easy to make them swicth "roles" without more soldering
Jul 05 17:59:22 <ds2> Ohhhh you did it that way...got it.
Jul 05 18:00:07 <ds2> if wormo has time, I think she has a scope
Jul 05 18:00:36 <ds2> sig-gen can be a BBB running a kernel that has working PWM - set it up for 40KHz output, 50%
Jul 05 18:00:50 <ds2> worse case a dumb loop on the PRU can do that
Jul 05 18:13:32 <nerdboy> don't really need pru just to test pwm driving the tx side, but ideally he should be testing the full monty
Jul 05 18:14:26 <nerdboy> the kicker is getting anything out of prudaq with a new-ish kernel
Jul 05 18:15:27 <nerdboy> i did not think everything related to prudaq software-wise was still stuck on 3.8
Jul 05 18:16:17 <nerdboy> i could swear i tested the non-beaglelogic sampling demo on a newer kernel...
Jul 05 18:18:36 <ds2> *nod*
Jul 05 18:18:45 <ds2> worse case, use the ADCs after some signal conditioning
Jul 05 18:19:11 <ds2> bbl
Jul 06 00:01:51 <nerdboy> thetransformerr[: i guess you have an order/tracking number: Element14 17750136
Jul 06 02:38:34 <thetransformerr[> nerdboy: tracking cant be done without logging in :(
