hi

who us here?

\me is here

Yes sure

Last week I worked on the UART connection, if you remember on the USB connection we could send a char and receive it back on minicom now same thing is also working on the UART

The problem I’m facing currently is when I send a string to the remote which also I expect to receive back but instead I’m getting blank output

as my UART adapter has problems, i have to postpone this

I have also started to write a report on this internship which I’ll need to submit to my college soon

That’s it from my side then!

metal_dent[m]: I would like to discuss creating a remote/beta/PC communcation issue overview as its hard to keep track of the issues/solutions/status, lets discuss that later or maybe tomorrow if you are available

yes sure!

align the LUTs i mean

https://github.com/Swaraj1998/reg-test/blob/master/scripts/bitmod_init.py

now this seems to read and write the LUT INIT values correctly... but somehow still actually uploading the bitstream to the FPGA has no effect on the logic of the LUTs

maybe the writing part is not working correctly... but observation seems to say otherwise... i'm still trying to identify the issue here

i think so yes, no error bits are set during upload

and also the DONE is asserted

in the bitmod_init.sh where do you write data back?

s/.sh/.py/

in place

okay

that's it from me!

(checking for differences between the edited and generated version)

many thanks bluez!

let me know if the report requires anything from the org side

hi! :)

I have just been trying to complete my previous task, and was facing an error with memory allocation, so now i am trying to understand memory management in remote properly, looking and understanding linker scripts, and have been spending some quality time with PIC32MZ manual

https://github.com/eppisai/AXIOM-Remote.git

https://github.com/eppisai/AXIOM-Remote/blob/vis_windows_build/AXIOM_Remote_Firmware_Visualizer/README.md

Also have been analysing stack of firmware and trying to understand stack better..

so lets coordinate there soon

can do

together with se6ast1an we've moved pretty far in prrof of concept -> https://apertus-open-source-cinema.github.io/cad-3d-viewer/

yep

there is a dedicated lab workboard coloumn now: https://lab.apertus.org/project/view/16/

at the very right

called "Web 3D Model Viewer"

thanks!

the hardware production was promised to start next week at the factory hub, so things are moving there, I will see if I can get a more detailed schedule on Thursday

with student application deadline tomorrow!

on the raw recording front via hdmi I ordered a rock pi 4 which was delivered by the end of last week, I plan to put an M.2 ssd into it and benchmark write speeds this thursday

yes, mentors can still be amazed with new contributions, just the application cant be changed anymore :)

beside the cad viewer progress that BAndiT1983 described already I have been working with Shohei on various AXIOM Beta compact enclosure topics

adding a spring to the CMV12000 Heatsink part that is pressed against a thermal pad at the back of the image sensor

thats it from my side

if nobody else wants to report, then yes :)

so I've been playing around with the Magewell device and I'm pretty confident, that we can get proper raw recording with the device, even with some error detection/correction features in case something goes wrong

we received another digitizer device from DigitNow! which claims similar features like the Magewell device, but costs a lot less

did you open up any of the two devices already?

would be interesting to get a peak at the used chips

I've also been planning/designing a new gateware which should allow for simpler data transfer as we plan for raw recording

that's it from my side for this week

yes, indeed

so the question is if it makes sense to improve that "old" mode at all or go right to a new better data transfer as you mentioned straight away

I guess it depends on the effort you estimate both will require, but modifying a working solution is always simpler I assume?

good

agreed

sure

right then!

many thanks everyone!

thanks for the moderation!
