Jun 24 05:57:13 <keesj> GPU?
Jun 24 06:02:33 <MrCurious> anyone here using beaglebone blue?
Jun 24 13:49:06 <francis_> I am trying to run the latest machinekit on bbb a6a - kernal is xenomi but running posix.hence will not start
Jun 24 15:52:17 <zmatt> keesj: the sgx530 in the am335x
Jun 24 19:07:58 <cyberguy> Hi All, Had anyone experienced working with UniFlash for BBB flashing?
Jun 24 22:38:58 <ayjay_t> well apple is thinking of buying it, apparently
Jun 24 22:39:03 <ayjay_t> its got a half billion dollar market cap
Jun 24 22:39:15 <ayjay_t> i have a feeling TI wouldn't exactly enjoy that
Jun 24 22:39:25 <zmatt> hmm?
Jun 24 22:39:32 <zmatt> why would TI care?
Jun 24 22:39:59 <ayjay_t> that depends on the contract they have for the technology
Jun 24 22:40:11 <ayjay_t> it's /probably/ written well to protect TIs interests
Jun 24 22:41:07 <ayjay_t> but /theoretically/ if apple acquired IMG and the license wasn't worded properly apple could make access to information needed to fully utilize the design
Jun 24 22:41:34 <ayjay_t> apple was poaching TIs engineers engineers in israel a couple years ago, apple is like, the blob that acquires and destroys everything
Jun 24 22:41:50 <ayjay_t> s/engineers engineers/engineers
Jun 24 22:42:10 <ayjay_t> gosh i'm having trouble typing
Jun 24 22:42:24 <zmatt> I've heard the deal with TI didn't turn out great for IMG since they just pay small stuff royalty per unit sold, and TI left the smartphone market with associated large number of units
Jun 24 22:42:48 <ayjay_t> i'd personally like to know more about the deal because i'm interested in using the sitara line in my own venture
Jun 24 22:43:08 <ayjay_t> but yeah i mean, ti's omap line flopped against qualcomm right?
Jun 24 22:43:26 <zmatt> no idea
Jun 24 22:43:53 <zmatt> TI did have some good time with OMAP for a while anyway
Jun 24 22:44:21 <zmatt> I can imagine the smartphone market gets tiresome though
Jun 24 22:44:35 <ayjay_t> hahaha i'm not sure the biz dev guys think the same way as you on that
Jun 24 22:45:02 <zmatt> why not?  that crazy fast pace can't be fun
Jun 24 22:45:12 <zmatt> blink twice and your design is obsolete
Jun 24 22:45:31 <ayjay_t> well, honestly your high margin low volume market is really cool
Jun 24 22:45:48 <ayjay_t> but the cell phone mass market is very very coveted
Jun 24 22:46:10 <ayjay_t> and yeah it's more competitive but people see apple being the largest company in the world off its phone line and such
Jun 24 22:46:16 <zmatt> it's probably coveted and hated at the same time
Jun 24 22:46:48 <ayjay_t> well either way i'm happy if i have my bealgebone black
Jun 24 23:34:16 <MrCurious> any beaglebone blue holders here?
Jun 24 23:40:06 <zmatt> you're doing a poll?
Jun 24 23:42:21 <MrCurious> not the intent. but i suppose it would be re-assuring to know i am not the only purchaser… was hoping to score some ROS hints wrt BB Blue
Jun 24 23:42:52 <zmatt> you're not the only purchaser :)  (I don't have one)
