**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 14 02:59:58 2016 Aug 14 13:54:12 uhm .... Aug 14 17:34:41 hey m_w ! There? Aug 14 17:34:58 yes Aug 14 17:35:38 any progress debugging your code? Aug 14 17:35:42 Okay so I have been trying to solve the mutibyte transfer problem. Aug 14 17:36:52 Ah no the uintptr thing works on pointer addresses . Apparently there is no way to dereference a vod pointer Aug 14 17:36:55 void m_w Aug 14 17:37:11 The only way was to cast it as uint64_t ptr Aug 14 17:37:40 which would limit the transfer size to maximum 64 bytes a transaction Aug 14 17:38:23 don't you mean 64bits? Aug 14 17:38:24 m_w, I am limited by the fact that the maximum data I can transfer to the firmware at a given time is 64 bits via iowrite Aug 14 17:38:29 yes Aug 14 17:38:30 sorry Aug 14 17:38:35 m_w, Aug 14 17:38:42 Is 8 bytes okay Aug 14 17:39:09 ? Aug 14 17:39:21 this is sufficient for most SPI slaves but other use much longer transactions Aug 14 17:39:51 hmmn..This is a definitely a limitation with the ioread/iowrite method Aug 14 17:40:05 Perhaps I could expand it post GSOC Aug 14 17:40:27 longer transactions are needed for a general purpose SPI host Aug 14 17:40:34 But to do that, I would have to redesign the entire driver Aug 14 17:40:53 It is not possible with the current method that I am following Aug 14 17:40:58 well I would talk to your mentors about that Aug 14 17:41:28 they will decide what is acceptible for completion Aug 14 17:41:32 Yes I will talk to bradfa about this. I am sure he will understand the problem Aug 14 17:42:47 Anyway m_w , I will push the code for this 8 byte transfer in about half an hour. Could you please run it at your end and see if that works correctly atleast? Aug 14 17:43:06 I can try it Aug 14 17:44:10 may have to do it later tonight but I can try and send an email Aug 14 17:44:47 Okay m_w . I would also be needing your help with I2C . Perhaps I can tackle that tomorrow if you are free? Aug 14 17:45:21 tomorrow that is Aug 14 17:45:38 what do you need to do with i2c? Aug 14 17:46:04 Well m_w , I am not been able to run an actual device test Aug 14 17:46:33 why not? Aug 14 17:47:02 Ah lab's been closed for the past three days. Tomorrow too is a holiday :( Aug 14 17:47:11 I can get to it on tuesday Aug 14 17:47:18 though Aug 14 17:47:45 okay well I will check it out Aug 14 17:48:30 remember, it is important to leave some time for your submission Aug 14 17:48:37 Thank you so much m_w . Aug 14 17:49:05 Yup I hope to finish everything before wednesday. Aug 14 17:49:33 Assuming I2C doesn't cause much problems m_w . Aug 14 17:50:10 SPI first though Aug 14 18:15:08 ZeekHuge: you see the email I just sent? Aug 14 18:16:37 m_w: Yep. Aug 14 18:19:31 does it make sense? Aug 14 18:19:48 yeah .. I see them being used in i2c and spi core, dont know how I missed that ... though its a HUGE blob of code .. Aug 14 18:20:07 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?i=for_each_available_child_of_node Aug 14 18:20:14 plenty of examples Aug 14 18:26:34 yeah . Aug 14 18:48:08 jkridner, added python-runner file to src.. on branch python-runner (bonescript), and i'm working now on execution function. Aug 14 18:49:01 jkridner, i can't see alexhiam.. I would appreciate any support. Thanks Aug 14 21:19:00 m_w, The code is not working. I am still working on it. Will probably push it tomorrow :( Aug 14 21:19:29 The screen just freezes. I am not sure what am I doing wrong **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 15 02:59:58 2016
