Feb 12 05:19:42 <jkridner[m]> pac23: thanks!
Feb 12 05:20:29 <jkridner[m]> nirajtummala: bbb.io/gsocideas is started, but still needs some meat on the bones.

Feb 12 07:45:03 <zeekhuge[m]> mister_awesome: Hey ! We have some ideas and themes on the bbb.io/gsocideas page. What would you be interested in ?
Feb 12 07:48:30 <pac23[m]> @zeekhuge can you expand a bit more on the pru api project
Feb 12 08:45:59 <mister_awesome[m> @ZeekHuge_:matrix.org: Hey! I'm more than interested and will be browsing through the ideas list in depth. As for starter I want to confess that I am a pretty much newbie. I don't have any beagle boards but am surely enthusiastic about open source hardware especially BeagleBone. I did browse through last years requirements and am now on starting a cross-compiler hello world program. I want to understand the
Feb 12 08:46:00 <mister_awesome[m> actual code base and working process by analysing the workflow and fixing some bugs. For now I've been on YouTube videos by Derek Molley which seem really useful. If any other resources to start getting in flow please let me know.
Feb 12 12:55:44 <harshithk[m]> Hello guys, I'm new to gsoc. So can anyone guide me how to get started?
Feb 12 13:07:43 <zeekhuge[m]> pac23: The idea is to make it easy to use interface and standards for the PRU. right now, we have to execute commands to get some code loaded onto the PRUs, by echoing into the sysfs entries. Also, the remoteproc mechanism allows to communicate with the PRUs using char device entries (mostly, and can be configured). The APIs need to provide a way, in different languages, to be able to read and write message to and
Feb 12 13:07:44 <zeekhuge[m]> from the PRUs within the program itself..
Feb 12 13:10:26 <zeekhuge[m]> harshithk: Sure, but you will have to "ASK" something. in general, the idea for GSoC is simple. You choose a project with benefits to the community, convince mentors that you can do it and that the project with benefit the community and then you file a proposal for it. We have some projects and themes mentioned at http://bbb.io/gsocideas.
Feb 12 13:17:29 <mister_awesome[m> <zeekhuge[m] "harshithk: Sure, but you will ha"> Sure. I'll go thorough the statements and contribute to max possibility. As for asking I want to complete the pre requestite of cross compiler hello world. Does that mean I have to get arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc and get a hello world with my name and date being displayed. Or is something completely different if so can you please elaborate a bit?
Feb 12 15:02:47 <jkridner[m]> thanks zeekhuge for engaging the potential students
Feb 12 15:03:04 <jkridner[m]> gm all... we going to chat in 2.5 hours?
Feb 12 15:05:19 <jkridner[m]> oh wait, today is Tuesday
