Hey any chance of working with Sony to license this image sensor https://image-sensors-world.blogspot.com/2021/02/isscc-2021-sony-501mp-full-frame-sensor.html?m=1 from what I understand, it has higher image quality, because more columns have their own independent ADCs.

Bertl
Guest18: go ahead and ask them whether they are interested in releasing documentation for the sensor

hi maxme, great you are hacking again!

max_bxl
=p

max_bxl
to be sure : the green LED on the MicroZED is telling us that the board is powered and the red LED is telling us that the OS is loaded

where should I add this information (red/green LED) ? there : https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php?title=AXIOM_Beta/Manual#Operating_Basics ?
13:21
Bertl
the green LED is directly conencted to the MicroZed Power
13:21
Bertl
the red LED is controlled by the PS and the blue LED by the PL
13:21
Bertl
by default, the red LED shows a heart-beat pattern if all is running fine on the PS (Linux) side
13:21
se6astian_
maxime, yes good place
13:22
Bertl
if the red LED is permanently ON, chances are good that the SD card is bad/missing and the MicroZed does not boot
13:24
max_bxl
yep ! actually the red LED wasn't even blinking, so I flashed a new card.

here's the content of axiom_rf_sel.py : https://pastebin.com/aYuXWKNj

maxime btw would you be so kind and reply to *email address removed*
13:27
se6astian_
he wrote to us in french
13:27
se6astian_
to team
13:30
max_bxl
yep, I just saw, I was about to ask what to answer (he is basically wanting to know if there's a camera to sell) → I should explain that it's now "only" for developpers/makers (and not DOP/filmmakers) right ?
13:33
Bertl
max_bxl: please remind me what the issue was (it has been to long that I can remember :)
13:34
Bertl
(at least I presume that there is an issue ;)
13:38
max_bxl
yep ! it was a python error message at the end of the axiom_start.sh → https://pastebin.com/qB8qt1CS
13:39
max_bxl
se6astian said it might be related to https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-firmware/issues/179
13:39
Bertl
and what is the version of your power board?
13:40
max_bxl
29 (and not 30)
13:40
Bertl
okay, let's try to run the following then:
13:41
Bertl
pip3 install smbus-cffi
13:41
Bertl
and after that, rerun 'axiom_rf_sel.py A' and see what power board version it assumes
13:49
max_bxl
restarting the beta now (I double checked the power board version)
13:49
se6astian_
yes, please tell him what we offer currently and ask about his application with the camera
13:51
max_bxl
assuming power board version 0.30*
13:51
max_bxl
without £
13:51
max_bxl
without *
13:55
max_bxl
se6astian_ done
14:06
max_bxl
Bertl I'll need to go in 10mn, is there something I can do now ? or should we upgrade the power board ?

I think this is a problem with the used firmware, I presume it was not tested on older boards
14:32
Bertl
and yes, it might be related to issue #179
14:32
Bertl
probably best to arrange a remote session where we can connect to the camera
