Mar 27 12:29:09 <kiran4399> Hey anyone there?
Mar 27 16:21:30 <ordsen> hey m_w are you free?
Mar 27 17:01:54 <m_w> ordsen: hey
Mar 27 17:02:18 <ordsen> I thought about an alternative proposal as you suggested.
Mar 27 17:02:37 <m_w> cool, lets here it
Mar 27 17:04:58 <ordsen> As the other Terminal Server proposal mainly focuses on the c part (buffering) I thought that focusing more on the serial controller part (HTML and web interface) might be a good idea
Mar 27 17:06:50 <ordsen> this would leave out the buffering task and add basic calls to write and talk to serial devices through an HTML interface provided by the web server. A first goal would be to enable local programs and devices in the network to access that API
Mar 27 17:10:07 <ordsen> So its related to the Terminal Server and could possibly include its code in the future to extend its abilities with I/O buffering and configuration;
Mar 27 17:10:19 <ordsen> Yet focuses more on api's and the stretch goals proposed in my current proposal.
Mar 27 17:14:43 <ordsen> I would then proceed including SPI and I2C communication as time permits
Mar 27 17:15:57 <ordsen> I searched a bit for IoT frameworks (which this might evolve to, despite that the BB is the server) but did only find closed source/mainly commercial projects projects
Mar 27 17:46:18 <ravikp7> jkridner: Hi!  are you free now ?  :)
Mar 27 17:46:32 <jkridner> I'm never free. :-/
Mar 27 17:48:11 <ravikp7> Can we discuss about  the proposal now?
Mar 27 17:50:27 <ravikp7> Am I right about the changes required in u-boot patch in the proposal?
Mar 27 17:59:12 <ravikp7> jkridner: you there?
Mar 27 17:59:30 <jkridner> please don't ask to ask.
Mar 27 17:59:47 <jkridner> http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Mar 27 18:00:09 <jkridner> the u-boot patch Robert has is not needed.
Mar 27 18:00:39 <jkridner> there is a different config needed to default to UMS mode.
Mar 27 18:01:06 <jkridner> my time doesn't "free" up. I simply juggle.
Mar 27 18:06:34 <kiran4399> jkrinder: I am thinking of utilizing the 3d accelerator for running an optical flow for a camera...
Mar 27 18:06:44 <kiran4399> jkridner: inspired by the pxflow
Mar 27 18:06:59 <kiran4399> https://pixhawk.org/modules/px4flow
Mar 27 18:07:05 <kiran4399> jkridner: any suggestions..
Mar 27 18:07:19 <kiran4399> jkridner: this time I would like to do a "bb_blue_api v2"
Mar 27 18:07:25 <kiran4399> jkridner: deliverables are:
Mar 27 18:07:29 <jkridner> I don't know how to accomplish that. ds2 might have some ideas.
Mar 27 18:07:29 <kiran4399> camera support
Mar 27 18:07:38 <kiran4399> moving the apis to kernel
Mar 27 18:07:46 <kiran4399> ..
Mar 27 18:07:51 <kiran4399> any suggestions?
Mar 27 18:08:28 <jkridner> stereo camera support would be really cool. That seems like its own projec t.
Mar 27 18:09:01 <kiran4399> https://www.amazon.com/ELP-Megapixel-Camera-Module-Biometric/dp/B00VG32EC2/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1490468087&sr=1-2&keywords=stereo+camera
Mar 27 18:09:12 <kiran4399> Unfortunately usb sterio cameras are not available in india
Mar 27 18:09:15 <kiran4399> :(
Mar 27 18:09:32 <kiran4399> ds2: there?
Mar 27 18:09:39 <kiran4399> ds2: any ideas on offloading stuff on gpu?
Mar 27 18:09:52 <kiran4399> I tried but I am getting some wierd initializing error..
Mar 27 18:10:07 <kiran4399> jkridner: can you provide me one if I get selected?
Mar 27 18:10:22 <jkridner> yes
Mar 27 18:11:15 <kiran4399> jkridner: when you said support for stereo camera..
Mar 27 18:11:26 <kiran4399> jkridner: what was in your mind regarding the processing stuff?
Mar 27 18:11:59 <jkridner> what do you mean by "processing"?
Mar 27 18:11:59 <kiran4399> jkridner: I'm not sure if the arm processor can handle the sterio computation..
Mar 27 18:12:12 <kiran4399> processing the depth.. is'nt it?
Mar 27 18:12:17 <jkridner> oh. I don't really know. I thought you might be able to use the GPU.
Mar 27 18:12:18 <kiran4399> or did you mean just streaming?
Mar 27 18:12:28 <kiran4399> the images
Mar 27 18:12:34 <kiran4399> I don't think you mean that..
Mar 27 18:12:44 <kiran4399> it would be awesome if you the gpu..
Mar 27 18:12:48 <kiran4399> *we use
Mar 27 18:12:59 <kiran4399> it would a great project for robotics..
Mar 27 18:13:04 <kiran4399> blue has gpu support right?
Mar 27 18:13:07 <kiran4399> jkridner: ^^
Mar 27 18:14:26 <jkridner> yes
Mar 27 18:15:37 <kiran4399> jkridner: if I am able to use the gpu... I could do a lot of robotics stuff..
Mar 27 18:15:44 <kiran4399> jkridner: that could be a project itself..
Mar 27 18:16:04 <jkridner> I don't know how you'd really do it though. I thought ds2 had some ideas. not clear to me.
Mar 27 18:16:36 <jkridner> I think ds2 had an idea on using/.
Mar 27 18:17:35 <kiran4399> jkridner: by the way.. is the eqep kernel driver ready?
Mar 27 18:17:42 <kiran4399> jkridner: last time it was'nt..
Mar 27 18:22:09 <ravikp7> jkridner: do we need to configure the bootcommand in /include/configs/am335x_evm.h to just run the ums command?
Mar 27 18:24:04 <jkridner> ravikp7: you can do it there, or I *think* you can do it with 'make menuconfig'
Mar 27 18:26:39 <ravikp7> jkridner: I'll look into it, and one more thing, now we don't need to set the ethact, serverip, ipaddr and use tftp in bootcommand as it was used in BBBlfs for FIT transfer which we don't need anymore?
Mar 27 18:26:58 <jkridner> right
Mar 27 18:29:56 <kiran4399> jkridner: eqep kernel driver?
Mar 27 18:30:11 <jkridner> ? mean pushing it mainline?
Mar 27 18:30:24 <kiran4399> jkridner: is it there in the mainline?
Mar 27 18:30:32 <kiran4399> jkridner: last time it has a bug.
Mar 27 18:30:34 <jkridner> not mainline, no.
Mar 27 18:30:36 <kiran4399> it was buggy i mean
Mar 27 18:31:48 <ravikp7> jkridner: and specifying just the spl vid, pid in /drivers/usb/gadget/ether.c , is this it or  I'll need to configure something more which I'm missing out here
Mar 27 18:32:29 <ravikp7> ?
Mar 27 18:59:56 <ordsen> m_w: I'm back in 15 min
Mar 27 19:04:21 <m_w> ordsen: sounds interesting enough
Mar 27 19:53:03 <ds2> hmmm
Mar 27 19:53:31 <ds2> kiran4399?
Mar 27 19:55:33 <ds2> kiran4399: the project would be putting together some sample code that will (ideally w/o X11) use the SGX for computation. This is via the GLES 2.0 interface
Mar 27 19:55:45 <ds2> the framebuffer stuff should suffice
Mar 27 21:36:08 <ds2> *yawn*
Mar 27 21:55:00 <Nabil> Hi*Hi
Mar 28 00:57:17 <yugo43> How long does it typically take to get an eLinux Wiki account approved?
Mar 28 01:57:41 <m_w> yugo43: usually pretty quickly
