**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 05 02:59:57 2020 Nov 05 05:06:06 LED and PRU! Sorry, I know the cut-off but I did it w/ PRUs! Nov 05 11:23:23 Hello everyone Nov 05 12:03:32 should mm302 pop up again, point him to https://github.com/mvduin/py-uio/blob/master/pru-examples/debugging.py :P Nov 05 12:04:10 Hey! Nov 05 13:57:22 I broke my computer this morning while trying to use scp on a 4GB .bin file to the BBGW. Ha. Nov 05 13:57:31 No go! Nov 05 14:00:20 And then for some reason, the Linux SDK from TI kept re-breaking it when attempting to clone it to a drive. Nov 05 14:00:31 OH well. Nov 05 14:49:19 no really it's out to get you Nov 05 14:51:57 I figured it out. scp cannot handle that much info. Nov 05 14:54:22 I received the blue screen of death! Nov 05 14:59:31 at least you haven't hit windows 260 character path length issue. Nov 05 14:59:42 Ha. I did already. Nov 05 14:59:54 I was waiting here for you to reply. Is that odd? Nov 05 15:00:01 yes Nov 05 15:00:12 Okay. Off to another sort of ordeals, then. Nov 05 15:00:26 don't light anything on fire... Nov 05 15:00:31 I did go outside and see people. Nov 05 15:00:39 They were walking. Nov 05 15:00:40 Oh... Nov 05 15:00:53 I got the PRU to work w/ a LED. On/Off. Nov 05 15:01:00 output! Nov 05 15:01:15 Is there a M3 on the BBB? Nov 05 15:01:52 Seriously, I was reading last night and I could have sworn that one item on TI's site said M3 on the BBB. Nov 05 15:02:01 I believe their is I can't remember what it's used for Nov 05 15:02:09 Oh. Nov 05 15:02:12 Okay. Nov 05 15:02:20 So, it is nothing to program? Nov 05 15:02:39 It has to be...right? Nov 05 15:25:05 TRM! Nov 05 15:25:41 I think you can send code to it but the amount of code space is tiny mostly I think its for booting the system Nov 05 16:03:33 Oh. Okay. Well, now i know. Nov 05 16:03:49 bbl! I know...you guys cannot wait. Nov 05 18:10:05 Heh? Nov 05 18:38:45 I am trying to put marlin on the BBAI. Do you think it is worth it? I mean what if I can get the m4 or pru to give and take in info? Nov 05 18:43:05 For instance, what toolchain should I use? gnueabihf? Nov 05 18:44:08 I mean this and I mean it, there are so many hand-me-downs out there, linuxcnc, marlin, grbl, and so on, why would I not try to use one of them to show people what these machines are made of? Nov 05 18:45:53 I say: whatis toolchain && Debian says: nothing appropriate Nov 05 18:45:55 Ha. Nov 05 19:53:45 hmm Nov 05 19:58:28 hmm is right. I am about tired now (or angry). I cannot tell yet. Nov 05 19:58:52 pio on vscode. No. I need to get everything on the BBB first. Nov 05 19:59:15 Aw. Oh well. Another time. Nov 05 19:59:38 off to the soda parlor! Nov 05 19:59:41 bbl Nov 05 22:35:24 I'm starting to enjoy writing BB host C++ and PRU assembly at the same time, while avoiding C Nov 05 23:44:23 just keep in mind C++ is not a good fit for everything so you won't blow things up. Nov 05 23:58:32 he's not here anymore Nov 06 00:13:41 I left too! Nov 06 00:13:49 Did you all miss me? Nov 06 00:14:19 Forget that mess, has anyone you have ever heard of put marlin on the AI? Nov 06 00:15:12 They have a M4 but I need to figure out how to use the M3 on the BBB first. Small steps over here. Nov 06 01:08:43 M3? M4? Like Cortex? Nov 06 01:09:08 I was actually going to see if anyone new of any interested experiments/packages for the m4's or C66's on the AI Nov 06 01:09:13 mine came and booted today Nov 06 01:09:30 i think there was some actual AI stuff Nov 06 01:09:50 i might set up an LCD out and... maybe some kind of camera or MIC in? That could take a while tho Nov 06 01:36:11 found the mpg streamer tutorial Nov 06 01:38:07 yes. Nov 06 01:38:17 M3 and M4, the cortex family. Nov 06 01:39:18 ayjay_t: It seems there is a neat layer, Compatibility Layer, that supposedly works w/ Capes on the AI with the 5.4.x kernel and updated image. Nov 06 01:40:09 I still need to test it out. I got jumbled being Ginny_Pig for the day w/ TI's BBB SDK. Nov 06 01:40:55 It killed my dev. laptop. I almost squeezed a nice, big fist of glory against life and swung. Nov 06 01:41:27 I was actually dredging using Win 10 for the SDK. Nov 06 01:41:28 Oops. Nov 06 01:42:10 set_: the M3 on the BBB is not for general-purpose use, it is used for system power management Nov 06 01:42:15 oh. Nov 06 01:42:19 Dang it. Nov 06 01:42:41 Well, M4 usage it is. I cannot wait to learn more. Nov 06 01:42:55 I need to get the use cases and learn more now. Nov 06 01:43:30 I can't think of any use cases relevant for you, and the M4 subsystems are probably among the hardest auxiliary cores to use on the BBAI Nov 06 01:43:42 Oh. Nov 06 01:44:20 Yea I know but @zmatt, that is really all I do. I get neck deep in things I cannot handle and then change course. Nov 06 01:44:54 which is fine if you don't waste other people's time in the process Nov 06 01:45:10 Oh. right, b/c sometimes I think I know things. Nov 06 01:46:35 The 'Bone Buses' are on the AI now! Nov 06 01:48:41 Should I stick a Cape on it and see if it does a magic movement of the motor? Nov 06 01:49:15 Oh. Nov 06 01:49:41 There is a fellow that is discussing the RoboticsCape on his BBB or derivative. Nov 06 01:50:09 I am thinking that 'Bone Buses' is what the fellow needs to make the RoboticsCape work w/ ArduPilot. Nov 06 01:50:47 Now, I know you are not in to fashion w/ ArduPilot but would the RoboticsCape work w/ a BBB or BBGW w/ the 'Bone Buses'? Nov 06 01:52:52 The reason I am asking is b/c I do not have the RoboticsCape. I have the BBBlue. Nov 06 01:55:48 rofl i hope whatever i have to install installs on the nvidia xavier xg Nov 06 01:55:52 because its the nicest computer i have Nov 06 01:55:59 my laptop has like .5 GB ram Nov 06 01:56:09 thinking about buying a new one but also want a new bike Nov 06 01:59:22 there are just so many cores in this device lol Nov 06 02:00:14 Ha. I was just reading again. I am glad you showed up. Nov 06 02:01:07 I am in the TRM researching ideas. The M4s can be controlled by spinlocks which is something from GPIOs I think. Lots to learn. Sorry. I need to keep reading. Nov 06 02:02:39 this is definitely a good learning experience, but its also not what i should be spending my time on and i am quite a bit full of side projects ontop of normal work Nov 06 02:03:10 i am going to make a "unboxing the bb ai" video for the facebook group so i'm hoping to have some nerdy material for that Nov 06 02:05:14 I am a stay at home 25 * loser. Work used to find me. Now, I cannot catch a break. But enough about me. AI! Nov 06 02:13:56 I am heartbroken. the M4 is for image processing. Nov 06 02:33:08 So, if I was to program something, I have to account for the size of all available addresses. I think my mind is blown. Nov 06 02:33:09 Nice! Nov 06 02:35:22 For instance, just lightly touching the surface here, I can use the M4 and interconnect with my register addresses but I have to make sure I do not overflow on size. Nov 06 02:40:01 Now, says L4_CFG from whatever address to the next whatever address, first and last addresses, it is only 14 MB of address space that is broke up into parts. Nov 06 02:40:57 These parts are other "broken down" address spaces with their own size. Not all addresses need to be used in specific cases. Nov 06 02:41:27 Does that sound reasonable? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 06 02:59:57 2020
