Jun 03 12:00:54 <kiran4399> alexhiam: there?
Jun 03 12:01:51 <kiran4399> alexhiam: the patchset you refered.. many hunks are failing.. what do you want me to do?
Jun 03 12:02:19 <kiran4399> alexhiam: meanwhile I am testing the a beta version of 4.4 kernel on beaglbone blue and strawson cape.
Jun 03 14:09:01 <kiran4399> Has anyone faced difficulties while compiling kernel because of coda file system
Jun 03 14:09:02 <kiran4399> ?
Jun 03 16:21:15 <jkridner> nerdboy: yeah, I think I emailed you the order info.
Jun 03 16:24:44 <nerdboy> except the reply i have says "I sent you three. ..." but has no tracking info
Jun 03 16:25:39 <nerdboy> i did see it somewhere, but not in the reply to gmail "last piece" thread...
Jun 03 16:28:12 <alexhiam> nerdboy: might be a good reference: https://soldernerd.com/tag/ultrasonic-anemometer/
Jun 03 16:50:50 <nerdboy> alexhiam: that's interesting...
Jun 03 16:56:37 <kiran4399> alexhiam: did you get my earlier messages?
Jun 03 16:57:53 <alexhiam> kiran4399: yeah
Jun 03 16:58:44 <alexhiam> part of the problem is that rcn backported a bunch of iio changes in one commit to the bb.org tree, which means no 3-way merging
Jun 03 16:58:57 <kiran4399> alexhiam: what do you suggest me? should I proceed with whatever hunks are applied or should I reverse all the patches?
Jun 03 16:59:22 <alexhiam> but patches 5-7 can't merge even 3-way to mainline :(
Jun 03 16:59:39 <kiran4399> 3-way?
Jun 03 17:00:07 <alexhiam> http://www.drdobbs.com/tools/three-way-merging-a-look-under-the-hood/240164902
Jun 03 17:01:45 <alexhiam> kiran4399: definitely revert for now, it'll likely be broken with those patches only partly applied
Jun 03 17:02:22 <alexhiam> have you tested it with the current 6050 driver? we could just ignore the mag for now and hope that gets merged into iio soon
Jun 03 17:02:47 <kiran4399> alexhiam: I actually applied it on inv_mpu6050..
Jun 03 17:02:59 <kiran4399> alexhiam: I hope you expected me to do that right?? :-)
Jun 03 17:03:16 <alexhiam> yeah
Jun 03 17:03:40 <kiran4399> alexhiam: So it failed for that only..
Jun 03 17:04:00 <alexhiam> that's all the patches affect
Jun 03 17:04:19 <kiran4399> alexhiam: do you want me to try the android one?
Jun 03 17:05:15 <alexhiam> kiran4399: I'd rather you tested with the version currently in the bb.org tree for now
Jun 03 17:05:53 <alexhiam> we pretty much know those patches will be upstreamed eventually, so I don't see much sense in using a different version that won't ever make it to mainline
Jun 03 17:09:38 <alexhiam> :(
Jun 03 17:11:09 <kiran4399> alexhiam: should we revise our next goals?
Jun 03 17:13:01 <alexhiam> kiran4399: I'm looking back at your proposal - let's get back onto that timeline
Jun 03 17:13:10 <alexhiam> which means working on the servo driver
Jun 03 17:16:48 <kiran4399> alexhiam: but there is the pru issue for 4.4?
Jun 03 17:18:19 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: are you working on 4.4?
Jun 03 17:19:25 <kiran4399> alexhiam: I guess even ZeekHuge is..
Jun 03 17:19:49 <alexhiam> kiran4399: have you discussed it with chanakya_vc and ZeekHuge?
Jun 03 17:20:01 <kiran4399> alexhiam: yeah..
Jun 03 17:20:16 <kiran4399> I asked them if they were working on that.. so they told yes..
Jun 03 17:21:41 <alexhiam> kiran4399: so what are they doing?
Jun 03 17:21:42 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, Yes.
Jun 03 17:22:00 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,  4.4.9 I guess
Jun 03 17:22:13 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, The one that ships with debian 8.4
Jun 03 17:23:07 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: where's your pru_cfg.h? did you install pru headers from somewhere? how are you compiling?
Jun 03 17:23:24 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,kiran4399  Are you talking about the issue with remoteproc?
Jun 03 17:23:59 <kiran4399> yeah.
Jun 03 17:26:03 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,I installed the PRU code generation tools along with the software support package for the host
Jun 03 17:27:01 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, These headers are defined in the software support package I assume.
Jun 03 17:27:46 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: ah, so you're using ccs?
Jun 03 17:28:55 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, Nope. I am writing code in sublime and then compiling using a makefile.
Jun 03 17:29:11 <chanakya_vc> Just have to be careful with flags
Jun 03 17:29:25 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: k, can you push your makefile to github? should have everything in the repo
Jun 03 17:29:40 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,  Although I haven't compiled the code I have uploaded so far.
Jun 03 17:30:02 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: and have you tried running code on the pru yet?
Jun 03 17:30:09 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, This is the generic template:https://github.com/chanakya-vc/BBB-Gsoctry/blob/master/Makefile
Jun 03 17:30:25 <chanakya_vc> Zeekhuge helped with this
Jun 03 17:30:56 <alexhiam> thanks chanakya_vc!
Jun 03 17:31:16 <alexhiam> kiran4399: you following along?
Jun 03 17:31:24 <kiran4399> yeah.. am there..
Jun 03 17:31:27 <kiran4399> alexhiam: ^^
Jun 03 17:31:46 <chanakya_vc> No I haven't.Actually alexhiam I am thinking of skipping remote proc all together.Code using custom buffers.
Jun 03 17:31:58 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, is thinking along those lines
Jun 03 17:32:16 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: yeah, I could see how that would make more sense for your project
Jun 03 17:33:04 <alexhiam> chanakya_vc: would you still use remoteproc to load the firmware?
Jun 03 17:34:44 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam,hmmn slipped my mind.I have not decided anything so far.Right now only working on the firmware to implement all the four polarity and phase modes in SPI
Jun 03 17:35:00 <chanakya_vc> alexhiam, Will have to discuss with bradfa.
Jun 03 17:39:13 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: I wouldn't count anything out yet, and using remoteproc to load and start the pru firmware is likely to be a good idea
Jun 03 17:39:31 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: and even if you use dedicated buffers for the fifos, you still will need to pass messages between the PRU and Linux
Jun 03 17:39:48 <chanakya_vc> Yes bradfa true that.
Jun 03 17:40:10 <chanakya_vc> But that is a problem I will tackle later
Jun 03 17:40:30 <chanakya_vc> Right now getting the firmware is the priority
Jun 03 17:40:43 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: yes
Jun 03 17:42:01 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, Going to be pushing the updated code soon.Will you be free tonight?Perhaps you could help me out with the makefile?
Jun 03 17:42:13 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, If not then tomorrow perhaps
Jun 03 17:42:20 <kiran4399> alexhiam: so what do you think?
Jun 03 17:42:48 <alexhiam> kiran4399: I'm gonna try running some pru code on 4.4...
Jun 03 17:50:31 <alexhiam> ti sure does like to make you jump through hoops for their software...
Jun 03 17:58:22 <alexhiam> ugh, yeah, remoteproc sure has changed
Jun 03 18:03:53 <alexhiam> seems like this is up to date: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PRU-ICSS_Remoteproc_and_RPMsg
Jun 03 18:04:26 <alexhiam> i.e. the `pruss` and `pru_rproc` modules are there in 4.4
Jun 03 18:10:17 <kiran4399> alexhiam: yeah.. I see it..
Jun 03 18:12:21 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: if you can push the code and send me an email of your questions, that would probably work best
Jun 03 18:31:37 <Abhishek_> alexhiam: Can you pin the link somewhere? That's a really good reference to PRU resources
Jun 03 18:32:29 <alexhiam> Abhishek_: yeah, I'm gonna put some notes together and post them somewhere. I just got some rproc firmware to load on 4.4.11
Jun 03 18:33:12 <Abhishek_> Cool. Not sure when I'll be able to try it (busy) but I'd like to.
Jun 03 18:42:56 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, Okay.Working on it
Jun 03 18:52:08 <alexhiam> kiran4399: I'm gonna keep working on figuring out this 4.4 rproc stuff later today. In the meantime, if you haven't tested the bmp280 and mpu9250 with the stock debian 8.4 image you should do so asap
Jun 03 18:52:47 <alexhiam> kiran4399: and be sure to document the process on a github wiki page
Jun 03 21:52:35 <nerdboy> jkridner: two more boxes came today while i was at a mtg...
