07:02 | georgevdl | Hello everyone,
| |
07:02 | georgevdl | I would like to improve my embedded systems skills (such as VHDL and/or C/C++) and am thinking of learning through contributing to an open-source project, in a way similar to GSoC. I was amazed when I came across your project as not only do I like embedded devices but I also happen to own a Sony full-frame camera and a couple of E-mount lenses
| |
07:02 | georgevdl | since landscape photography is one of my hobbies. I could do this in my free time (which is not a lot) and was wondering if anyone is willing to mentor me

11:36 | anuejn | georgevdl: hey, welcome :)
| |
11:37 | anuejn | we did not do GSoC last year and I would say it is very unsure if we will do it again
| |
11:37 | anuejn | but If you want to work on something specific, I am sure, that there are persons that would mentor you
| |
11:38 | anuejn | there is a lot of things that could be improved always
| |
11:39 | anuejn | I think you have to come up with an idea what you want to do / improve
| |
11:40 | anuejn | then we can see who has time / capacity to answer your questions :)
| |
11:56 | georgevdl | Thank you anuejn,
| |
11:56 | georgevdl | 1) What is a good way to familiarize myself with the project?
| |
11:56 | georgevdl | I assume that checking out https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-firmware is a good starting point?
| |
11:56 | georgevdl | 1) Is there an indicative list of ideas?
| |
11:59 | anuejn | depends on what you want to do
| |
12:00 | anuejn | the firmware is a rough (currently more best effort) collection of what runs on the camera
| |
12:00 | anuejn | but there are also related things that are not in there
| |
12:01 | anuejn | also most of the time it is easier to get started with something somewhat self-contained that is then later integrated
| |
12:01 | anuejn | (for example lens mounts or something similiar)
| |
12:01 | anuejn | (since you mentioned it)
| |

12:08 | georgevdl | When it comes to lens mounts, do you mean something like communicating with the lens (eg for autofocus)?
| |

13:33 | anuejn | yes
| |
13:33 | anuejn | but that was only one example of a thing that could be very seperate
| |
15:29 | Bertl | hey georgevdl!
| |
15:29 | Bertl | you might also want to check https://lab.apertus.org/ (outdated/unmaintained) for ideas
| |
15:30 | Bertl | but as anuejn said, double check with folks here before you start to avoid going in a direction which doesn't make sense anymore (for whatever reason)
| |
15:46 | georgevdl | thanks Bertl, I will check it out
| |
16:00 | Bertl | MEETING TIME!
| |
16:00 | Bertl | who is around and has something to report?
| |
16:01 | Bertl | se6astian is somewhere on the countryside and still a little under the weather
| |
16:02 | Bertl | on my side, there has been some preparations to include back the new ICSP register interface into our main gateware which will allow to reprogram the newer power controller on the latest power boards as well as the existing PICs on the mainboard without loading special gateware
| |
16:03 | Bertl | the recently added data island fixes as well as the sync inversion and clock configuration changes are currently being tested (by se6astian) and should soon make their way into recent firmware
| |
16:04 | Bertl | other than that, nothing new to report from my side.
| |
16:10 | Bertl | MEETING CONCLUDED!
| 16:15 | anuejn | is here
|
16:15 | anuejn | whoopsie, that was a little late then
| |
16:16 | anuejn | so from my side:
| |
16:16 | anuejn | vup and me had a nice session, where we investigated row noise removal and selected a path forward
| |
16:16 | anuejn | we also started implementing it in the recorder, but that is not done yet
| |
16:17 | anuejn | thats it from my side :)
| |
16:17 | Bertl | thanks!
