Jul 08 09:12:48 <vvu> how is it going ?
Jul 08 09:13:38 <praveendath92> Trying to get the xserver on fb w/o displaylink driver.
Jul 08 09:13:45 <praveendath92> Just with udlfb.
Jul 08 09:14:29 <vvu> any luck ?
Jul 08 09:15:11 <praveendath92> All attempts so far gave me errors.
Jul 08 09:15:15 <vvu> :(
Jul 08 09:15:21 <praveendath92> :(
Jul 08 09:15:37 <vvu> send a message to the guy who has the dl repo on github
Jul 08 09:15:41 <vvu> i think he has his email there
Jul 08 09:15:52 <praveendath92> Errors or the same frame in the fb.
Jul 08 09:15:58 <praveendath92> The same green frame.
Jul 08 09:16:04 <praveendath92> Hmm.
Jul 08 09:17:50 <praveendath92> Writing to him.
Jul 08 09:18:46 <vvu> there should be some setup that works
Jul 08 09:24:22 <praveendath92> Hmm. I tried the basic things like specifying this as framebuffer and starting XServer but no luck.
Jul 08 09:24:36 <vvu> i have no xp with framebuffers
Jul 08 09:25:08 <vvu> maybe send an email also to http://kernelnewbies.org/MailingList
Jul 08 09:25:26 <vvu> there are a lot of peeps lurking around there and you may get an answer
Jul 08 09:29:30 <praveendath92> System crash :(
Jul 08 09:29:37 <vvu> panic panic panic
Jul 08 11:50:36 <av500> praveendath92: ping
Jul 08 11:50:51 <av500> praveendath92: what do I need to do to run your fb module?
Jul 08 12:06:08 <praveendath92> av500: pong
Jul 08 12:06:17 <praveendath92> Make
Jul 08 12:06:19 <av500> yo
Jul 08 12:06:31 <praveendath92> and insmod udlfb.ko
Jul 08 12:07:16 <av500> it built bard.ko
Jul 08 12:07:27 <av500> ah
Jul 08 12:07:29 <av500> got it
Jul 08 12:07:36 <praveendath92> Attach the droid device.
Jul 08 12:07:46 <praveendath92> That's the bard driver.
Jul 08 12:08:28 <praveendath92> fb module is being directly edited at https://github.com/praveendath92/udlfb
Jul 08 12:08:31 <praveendath92> Right now.
Jul 08 12:17:37 * Abhishek___ notices thge double underscored
Jul 08 12:17:43 <Abhishek___> *underscores
Jul 08 12:23:56 <av500> praveendath92: do I need apk on the android?
Jul 08 12:23:58 <av500> or just plug?
Jul 08 12:24:25 <praveendath92> apk is needed. Or it gives a pop up.
Jul 08 12:25:20 <praveendath92> I will host it in a min.
Jul 08 12:25:20 <praveendath92> av500: Right now the way it works is adk mode is triggered by adk driver in udlfb/adk.
Jul 08 12:25:24 <praveendath92> There you need to give your device pid and vid.
Jul 08 12:26:32 <praveendath92> So, both udlfb.ko and adk.ko has to be loaded.
Jul 08 12:28:55 <av500> ah
Jul 08 12:29:07 <av500> where do I get adk.ko?
Jul 08 12:29:25 <av500> praveendath92: in order to solve the X issue, we can fake all the adk stuff
Jul 08 12:30:49 <av500> is there a way to fake thta?
Jul 08 12:31:15 <av500> ah
Jul 08 12:31:19 <av500> hmm
Jul 08 12:31:21 <av500> usb driver
Jul 08 12:31:24 <av500> not so easy
Jul 08 12:31:34 <praveendath92> adk.ko is through udlfb/adk make
Jul 08 12:32:06 <praveendath92> I can merge the two but I decided to take care of fb first.
Jul 08 12:32:35 <praveendath92> apk here -> http://android.praveenkumar.co.in/bard/BARD.apk
Jul 08 12:32:40 <av500> what branch?
Jul 08 12:33:11 <praveendath92> av500: I just pushed it in a commit.
Jul 08 12:33:17 <praveendath92> Can you pull once now.
Jul 08 12:34:07 <av500> hm
Jul 08 12:34:12 <av500> am I on the wrong repo?
Jul 08 12:34:36 <av500> ah
Jul 08 12:34:40 <av500> I was on bard-linux
Jul 08 12:34:47 <praveendath92> Yes.
Jul 08 12:34:52 <praveendath92> It is udlfb.
Jul 08 12:34:56 <praveendath92> The repo name.
Jul 08 12:35:08 <praveendath92> bard-linux is only the communication part.
Jul 08 12:35:34 <praveendath92> Instead of adding fb to bard-linux I'm adding bard-linux stuff to fb.
Jul 08 12:35:35 <av500> ok, so
Jul 08 12:35:49 <praveendath92> Clone udlfb.
Jul 08 12:35:51 <praveendath92> In my account.
Jul 08 12:36:04 <av500> yes
Jul 08 12:36:05 <av500> did that
Jul 08 12:36:11 <praveendath92> 2. Make on udlfb and udlfb/adk

Jul 08 12:36:24 <av500> modules loaded
Jul 08 12:36:26 <praveendath92> insmod udlfb.ko and udlfb/adk/adk.ko
Jul 08 12:36:35 <av500> yes
Jul 08 12:36:50 <praveendath92> I suppose you modified pid and vid with your device values.
Jul 08 12:36:52 <av500> no
Jul 08 12:36:54 <av500> sec
Jul 08 12:36:56 <av500> where?
Jul 08 12:36:58 <praveendath92> Okiee.

Jul 08 12:37:41 <praveendath92>  L36 - L40.
Jul 08 12:37:55 <praveendath92> In udlfb.c
Jul 08 12:38:11 <praveendath92> Mostly L38, 39, 40 has to be updated.
Jul 08 12:38:23 <praveendath92> Don't change L36, 37.
Jul 08 12:38:30 <av500> ?
Jul 08 12:38:54 <praveendath92> Those are adk mode pid and vids.
Jul 08 12:39:08 <av500> so what do I edit?
Jul 08 12:39:19 <av500> [4824362.303523] usb 2-2.4: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4e42

Jul 08 12:39:33 <praveendath92> They are same for all devices.
Jul 08 12:39:47 <av500> so what do I edit?
Jul 08 12:40:29 <praveendath92> L13 - L17 in adk.c

Jul 08 12:41:30 <av500> ok
Jul 08 12:41:38 <av500> BARD.apk luanched
Jul 08 12:41:42 <praveendath92> Additional values are to filter the interfaces.
Jul 08 12:41:46 <av500> and I have fb1
Jul 08 12:41:48 <av500> :)
Jul 08 12:41:56 <praveendath92> Oh. Nice :)
Jul 08 12:42:54 <praveendath92> Now the fb stuff.
Jul 08 12:56:32 <av500> praveendath92: ok, so what did you do to have X on it?
Jul 08 12:56:35 <av500> so far
Jul 08 12:57:37 <praveendath92> DisplayLink setup with userspace drivers.
Jul 08 12:58:07 <praveendath92> Some of the methods here. https://github.com/notro/fbtft/wiki/Framebuffer-use
Jul 08 12:59:44 <praveendath92> And couple of random stuff I found while searching.
Jul 08 13:15:15 * Abhishek___ bought an HDMI cable today and tried out BBB with my LCD TV
Jul 08 13:19:09 <av500> hmm,
Jul 08 13:19:15 <av500> I get a new X on my monitor
Jul 08 13:24:36 <praveendath92> With fb driver?
Jul 08 13:31:08 <av500> ok
Jul 08 13:31:11 <av500> something is running
Jul 08 13:31:53 <av500> yay
Jul 08 13:31:59 <av500> got an xterm in the dump
Jul 08 13:32:00 <praveendath92> Can you check the current frame in the fb driver?
Jul 08 13:32:07 <av500> yes
Jul 08 13:32:08 <av500> :)
Jul 08 13:32:13 <praveendath92> fbgrab
Jul 08 13:32:16 <av500> fbdump
Jul 08 13:32:26 <av500> dont have fbgrab
Jul 08 13:32:39 <praveendath92> Anything is fine.
Jul 08 13:32:47 <av500> sudo FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1 fbdump > fb.dump
Jul 08 13:33:27 <praveendath92> fbgrab gives nice png output.
Jul 08 13:34:19 <praveendath92> fbcat is the package.
Jul 08 13:34:23 <av500> http://imagebin.ca/v/1ScApfj5YJxr
Jul 08 13:34:54 <av500> imagebin understands PPM
Jul 08 13:34:57 <praveendath92> Nice!
Jul 08 13:34:58 <av500> as does xv :)
Jul 08 13:34:59 <Abhishek___> cool
Jul 08 13:35:10 <av500> praveendath92: so your turn now
Jul 08 13:35:13 <av500> :)
Jul 08 13:35:22 <av500> FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1 xinit -- /usr/bin/X :1 -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.fb
Jul 08 13:35:24 <praveendath92> Screenshot or fbdump?
Jul 08 13:35:30 <av500> praveendath92: fbdump
Jul 08 13:35:50 <praveendath92> What did I do wrong :(
Jul 08 13:37:03 <praveendath92> Your xorg.conf.fb file?
Jul 08 13:37:35 <av500> sec
Jul 08 13:38:12 <av500> http://pastebin.com/XaCy9dRZ
Jul 08 13:38:43 <av500> the  FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb is not needed I think
Jul 08 13:38:47 <av500> seems to work without
Jul 08 13:38:59 <av500> then I get a blank console
Jul 08 13:39:07 <av500> CTRL-ALT F7 to get back to X
Jul 08 13:39:15 <praveendath92> Hmm.
Jul 08 13:41:48 <praveendath92> Yay. Got it :D
Jul 08 13:42:42 <praveendath92> av500: How do I go back to Xterm w/o restarting?
Jul 08 13:44:39 <praveendath92> av500: I don't see an xterm on my screen. Only in fbgrab.
Jul 08 13:45:16 <av500> ?
Jul 08 13:45:22 <av500> of course you dont see it on the screen
Jul 08 13:45:46 <av500> its a chunk of memory
Jul 08 13:45:53 <av500> with no display attached to show it
Jul 08 13:46:00 <av500> your task is to show it on android phone
Jul 08 13:46:13 <av500> hence you get a blank console
Jul 08 13:46:14 <praveendath92> Hmm.
Jul 08 13:46:33 <av500> on your gfx card, the memore gets piped to the HDMI connector
Jul 08 13:46:34 <av500> and your LCD
Jul 08 13:46:46 <av500> on that second fb display, the memory is there
Jul 08 13:46:52 <av500> but its not connected to your gfx card
Jul 08 13:46:59 <praveendath92> I see data transfer to android device too.
Jul 08 13:47:03 <av500> good
Jul 08 13:47:49 <praveendath92> Also I can't use my pc keyboard to input into that xterm.
Jul 08 13:48:23 <praveendath92> I think with some modifications to xorg.conf.fb that can done.
Jul 08 13:53:35 <av500> praveendath92: yes, that can be done
Jul 08 13:53:44 <av500> but for now, make that xterm appear on an android :)
Jul 08 13:53:56 <av500> you can launch other apps as well, make a 2nd xinitrs
Jul 08 13:53:57 <av500> you can launch other apps as well, make a 2nd xinitrc
Jul 08 13:54:07 <av500> http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/DisplayLink
Jul 08 13:54:11 <av500> I used this link mainly
Jul 08 13:54:18 <av500> and fixed some command line options
Jul 08 13:54:41 <praveendath92> Yes. Display on Android is the next part.
Jul 08 13:54:46 <av500> good
Jul 08 13:54:49 <av500> go for it
Jul 08 13:55:09 <praveendath92> Thanks :)
Jul 08 13:55:27 <av500> for a very simple start, just copy the whole screen content over
Jul 08 13:56:56 <praveendath92> The whole contents are already being transferred to Java.
Jul 08 13:57:01 <praveendath92> Need to process them there.
Jul 08 13:58:37 <av500> ah ok
Jul 08 13:58:39 <av500> good
Jul 08 13:58:54 <av500> so we can have a picture for tomorrows meeting?
Jul 08 13:58:56 <av500> !
Jul 08 14:00:13 <praveendath92> Yes.
Jul 08 14:00:34 <praveendath92> 1. Need to check encoding of bulk transfer in udlfb
Jul 08 14:01:05 <praveendath92> 2. Decode data in Java.
Jul 08 14:52:13 <jkridner> karki: having luck with the doc?
Jul 08 14:52:53 <jkridner> karki: I'd hope you'd be able to use a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit instructions, rather than moving to an odd number like 48-bit.
Jul 08 14:53:14 <karki_> google docs is down, I'll be putting it down in Markdown like alexanderhiam
Jul 08 14:53:39 <jkridner> I prefer that anyway. :-)
Jul 08 14:53:51 <Abhishek_> something akin to a DMCA takedown just occured in India with Google Docs also in the list
Jul 08 14:54:02 <karki_> jkridner : yeah. if the 7th bit of the command byte is zero, 32 bit instruction. if that bit is high it is a 64 bit inst.
Jul 08 14:54:16 <karki_> so only 32 bit or 64 bits
Jul 08 14:54:23 <jkridner> k
Jul 08 14:54:32 <jkridner> you using that for if statements too?
Jul 08 14:55:03 <karki_> the encoding is pretty neat :) I was happy with it. yeah same with if statements!
Jul 08 14:56:21 <karki_> I was actually upgrading the compiler as of now. will be writing the encoding in parallel! I'll then put it up in the wiki
Jul 08 15:33:35 <vvu> praveendath92: seems like i missed all the fun
Jul 08 15:36:06 <rseethamraju> alexanderhiam: the temp sensor works completely
Jul 08 15:36:37 <alexanderhiam> rseethamraju: great! what was the issue?
Jul 08 15:38:03 <rseethamraju> alexanderhiam: I just chuked the program and rewrote it form scratch
Jul 08 15:38:13 <alexanderhiam> fun
Jul 08 15:38:30 <praveendath92> vvu: Yep.
Jul 08 15:38:34 <rseethamraju> I kept getting confused what individual parts were doing
Jul 08 15:38:46 <praveendath92> It turned out to be simple.
Jul 08 15:38:56 <vvu> what was the issue ?
Jul 08 15:39:02 <rseethamraju> and I figured I has to write to the configuration register forst
Jul 08 15:39:04 <rseethamraju> first
Jul 08 15:39:23 <alexanderhiam> ah, ok
Jul 08 15:39:29 <praveendath92> About running Xserver on fb.
Jul 08 15:39:29 <alexanderhiam> have you pushed it?
Jul 08 15:39:35 <rseethamraju> yes
Jul 08 15:39:41 <rseethamraju> not the example though
Jul 08 15:39:46 <rseethamraju> and...
Jul 08 15:39:51 <rseethamraju> gues what?….

Jul 08 15:40:48 <praveendath92> vvu: The fb is now updated with new frames too :)

Jul 08 15:42:33 <rseethamraju> I’ll borrow from college tomorrow
Jul 08 15:42:37 <rseethamraju> =(
Jul 08 15:43:00 <alexanderhiam> have you tried an sd card with a new image?
Jul 08 15:43:18 <rseethamraju> I tried w/o the sd card
Jul 08 15:43:30 <rseethamraju> it doesn’t even light up
Jul 08 15:43:43 <rseethamraju> I’ll explain in detail in the meeting today
Jul 08 15:43:48 <alexanderhiam> ok
Jul 08 15:43:54 <rseethamraju> so can I make a pull request now
Jul 08 15:44:37 <rseethamraju> I only have to add the license and stuff at the begining
Jul 08 15:45:05 <alexanderhiam> ok, and the old example is still there and should work right?
Jul 08 15:46:50 <rseethamraju> yes
Jul 08 15:48:27 <rseethamraju> alexanderhiam: no the addToCleanup() isn’t there that’s all
Jul 08 15:50:46 <alexanderhiam> rseethamraju: that should be called from the library though
Jul 08 16:08:06 <rseethamraju> alexanderhiam: yes it is being calld from the library. I didn’t push the exaple where I removed it
Jul 08 16:08:50 <alexanderhiam> oh gotcha
Jul 08 19:49:59 <rseethamraju> alexanderhiam: done!
