**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 03 03:00:25 2021 Mar 03 17:33:26 hi all! Mar 03 17:33:30 hi cwicks Mar 03 17:34:27 Hi jkridner Hi All - excited to chat about GSoC today - ideas - mentors - students! Mar 03 17:34:50 lorforlinux: so, you are looking to mentor this year?!! :-D Mar 03 17:34:57 Hello everyone Mar 03 17:35:31 ds2 av500 moto-timo m_w nerdboy got project ideas? Mar 03 17:35:55 we are less than a week out from Google making a decision. Mar 03 17:35:55 Hi jkridner yes, I have graduated so can not take part as a student but, would love to help mentor some projects. Mar 03 17:36:07 not sure if we did enough on the ideas page for them to like it. Mar 03 17:36:37 lorforlinux: did you see the u-boot patches for 'expansion' ? Mar 03 17:37:15 er, 'extension'. Mar 03 17:37:16 https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2021-March/442850.html Mar 03 17:38:44 Nope Mar 03 17:39:01 Thanks Mar 03 17:39:12 new ideas ? The old ones still good Mar 03 17:46:04 ds2: with the "Fun with Beagles" thing from Imagination, is there more motivation to do GPGPU stuff? Mar 03 17:47:59 🙂 Mar 03 17:49:11 jkridner[m]: IMO, yes, GLES 2.0 is still a base line... OpenCL is CL... motivation is not as strong Mar 03 17:54:22 Hello all! Mar 03 17:54:57 Hi sakethr98 Mar 03 17:55:08 Howdy! Mar 03 17:55:58 Any GSoC project idea for the newest BeagleV? Mar 03 17:56:00 Somebody during the last weeks meeting wanted to work BBAI yolo Mar 03 17:56:42 Yes, 2 students were interested. Mar 03 17:56:56 Has TIDL grown much? Mar 03 17:57:24 Afaik, not so much Mar 03 17:58:42 Oh yes. I guess they couldn't make it to this meeting Mar 03 17:59:37 Yeah Mar 03 18:03:22 btw, to try to avoid lag with matrix.org, I've setup chat.beagleboard.org.... Mar 03 18:03:34 it is kinda working... you can register new accounts... Mar 03 18:03:41 I'm working on setting up the IRC bridge now. Mar 03 18:04:07 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/blob/develop/HOWTO.md has a lot of vague instructions. Mar 03 18:04:09 That's great. Mar 03 18:04:19 Awesome work jkridner Mar 03 18:04:53 Also, jkridner any updates for gsoc specific kernel release? Mar 03 18:06:26 hello sakethr98 nice to reconnect! Mar 03 18:07:25 Hello Cathy! Yes, it's nice to be back after a long time Mar 03 18:12:58 lorforlinux: sakethr98 Do you have some new ideas for the project ideas list based on your experience with GSoC that you'd like to discuss here? Mar 03 18:14:17 cwicks dont have anything to discuss right now, will share some ideas here soon for sure 👍 Mar 03 18:15:17 Thanks lorforlinux what was one of the things you learned last time you worked with the GSoC project that will help students? Why choose @Beagle? Mar 03 18:17:59 Hi all ! Sorry I am late Mar 03 18:19:54 I'm still thinking on what I could add to the idea list Mar 03 18:19:57 Hi vedant16 great to reconnect! Mar 03 18:20:29 Hi cwicks Nice to have a meeting after long Mar 03 18:20:39 Thank you sakethr98 any brainstorming is good brainstorming - does not have to be a fully fleshed out idea Mar 03 18:20:50 I will add a few ideas tommorow, I do want to include one explain simpPRU Mar 03 18:21:02 Yes vedant16 we are excited to have you participate this year! Mar 03 18:21:13 * I will add a few ideas tommorow, I do want to include one expanding simpPRU Mar 03 18:21:39 cwicks I want to mentor this time :) Mar 03 18:22:00 vedant16: that is great news! Mar 03 18:22:53 preoccupied with summer internships this year Mar 03 18:23:54 Oh yes Mar 03 18:23:55 (side note - with the unknown state of the TIDL, the SGX on the AI is another option) Mar 03 18:24:14 and I did try to download the OpenCL stuff... seems to be 'beta' and behind a password Mar 03 18:24:34 so GLES still seems to be a practical path Mar 03 18:25:47 That would be the knowledge of writing good device tree overlays. Mar 03 19:15:51 explain "gsoc specific kernel release" ? Mar 03 19:16:20 are we talking rcn bb-kernel/patches or something else? Mar 03 20:07:50 You're right in thinking so. I am talking about the stable kernel version that will include patches, to be used by gsoc students Mar 03 20:08:56 I saw a comment regarding the same sometime ago on bb slack with some speculation about the 5.10 LTS release. Mar 03 20:09:12 * I saw a comment regarding the same, sometime ago on bb slack with some speculation about the 5.10 LTS release. Mar 03 20:15:59 bb-kernel still has patches on 5.12 Mar 03 20:16:18 *some of the same ones as 5.10 Mar 03 20:17:50 Okay. Mar 03 22:13:22 jkridner[m]: the only "idea" I have would be a project adding BeagleV to Blinka (aka CircuitPython) with documentation and some worked out examples demonstrating features of the board. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 04 02:59:56 2021
