Mar 26 05:38:53 <nekodaemon[m]> Hello, I am new here. I am interested in GPGPU on embedded platform. I noticed that you already have a topic, GPGPU with GLES. But there is no any detailed idea under this topic. So should I provide my idea before I write the proposal?

Mar 26 09:19:22 <vedant16[m]> This is a snippet from PRUSpeaks, whats the use of (ret_pointer%1024), why is it done so?

Mar 26 14:41:50 <Abhishek_> what's the datatype of ret_pointer?
Mar 26 14:42:15 <vedant16[m]> int
Mar 26 14:44:21 <vedant16[m]> Where can i find PRU C reference or docs, to learn use of interupts, most resources don't go beyond basics
Mar 26 14:57:45 <Abhishek_> Interrupts are tricky
Mar 26 15:23:39 <Abhishek_> Normally if you're using something like remoteproc, interrupts are taken care of
Mar 26 15:24:41 <vedant16[m]> Ohh, I mean how to receive and send intereputs from pru side, if i use rpmsg is it even necessary to use INT?

Mar 26 15:30:48 <vedant16[m]> Abhishek_
Mar 26 16:27:19 <Abhishek_> Looks like an opcode to me
Mar 26 18:49:45 <vedant16[m]> Abhishek_: jkridner Today's progress about that REPL based PRU control. I discussed with a few seniors in college, read details of how this can be done and thought of a system to implement the same. I have written all that i planned today in this elinux wiki post: https://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/2020Proposal/VedantParanjape2
Mar 26 20:24:12 <ds2> hmmm
Mar 26 20:36:30 <jkridner[m]> vedant16: sounds a lot like botspeak/pruspeak.
Mar 26 20:37:55 <jkridner[m]> never quite got complete enough or clean enough
Mar 26 21:42:05 <vedant16[m]> @jkridner:matrix.org: Even though this look same at the PRU level as BotSpeak is, the key difference is at the userland level, BOTspeaks commands were quite like QBASIC, If one could build on that to get a language syntactically similar to Python.
Mar 26 22:33:22 <lorforlinux> jkridner: things are clear much now, i will wait for rcn's answer on header pin naming and submit the code for that. In the mean time i am updating the proposal.
Mar 26 22:35:08 <lorforlinux> I am reading on u-boot from "Mastering embedded linux" book and will add the u-boot related things in proposal tomorrow.
Mar 27 02:44:17 <jkridner[m]> vedant16: botspeak is meant to be a bit of an Arduino-level assembly
