11:55  | Bertl  |     morning everyone!
  | |
12:12  | se6astian  |     hello!
  | |
12:12  | se6astian  |     do you already know morrigans schedule?
  | |
12:22  | Bertl  |     yes, but unfortunately, she won't be in vienna today :/
  | |
12:22  | Bertl  |     anyway, not a big deal, when push comes to shove I'll simply use a magnifying glass :)
  | |
12:24  | se6astian  |     ok :)

  | |
19:52  | se6astian  |     Bertl, its Akhilesch who recently sent us his CV for electronics development
  | |
19:52  | Bertl  |     yup, talking with him right now
  | |
19:52  | se6astian  |     I am cooking currently, could you be so kind to introduce him ;)
  | |
19:52  | se6astian  |     perfect, thanks !
  | |
19:55  | Bertl  |     welcome akhilesh! please introduce yourself for the folks hanging around here.
  | |
19:57  | akhilesh  |     having 6 years of exp as a hardware design engineer specifically in the filed of Analog circuit design and High speed Interface design
  | |
19:57  | akhilesh  |     Ethernet, SRIO and Hyperlink Interface
  | |
19:58  | akhilesh  |     Worked on FPGA and DSP based board design and I can do VHDL code as well.
  | |
19:58  | Bertl  |     so you are basically the perfect candidate for axiom :)
  | |
19:59  | akhilesh  |     Currently working for Texas Instruments Inc
  | |
19:59  | Bertl  |     what brought you to the project and what kind of contributions do you envision in the near future?
  | |
20:00  | Bertl  |     (i.e. where do you think you can contribute most and how?)
  | |
20:01  | akhilesh  |     I am deeply interested in Cinema industry and how technology can bring next gen movies for masses.. That thought brought me into this.....
  | |
20:01  | akhilesh  |     I can contribute on the board design as well as signal integrity part... Also if you need some help on the signal processing side
  | |
20:02  | Bertl  |     did you work on an open source or open hardware project before?
  | |
20:03  | akhilesh  |     I contributed for the Pandaboard hardware design......
  | |
20:03  | akhilesh  |     that was on the audio part....
  | |
20:04  | Bertl  |     ah, great!
  | |
20:04  | Bertl  |     so did you already find some time to look at the axiom alpha prototype?
  | |
20:04  | Bertl  |     i.e. ZedBoard and CMV12K Adapter
  | |
20:05  | akhilesh  |     yep...
  | |
20:06  | Bertl  |     what's your opinion on the adapter? did you have a look at the schematic and layout?
  | |
20:06  | akhilesh  |     i believe the proto is complete and you were able to get the HDMI test pattern on the Zed board
  | |
20:06  | akhilesh  |     Schematics I didnt download.. need to do that...
  | |
20:07  | Bertl  |     okay, no problem
  | |
20:07  | Bertl  |     how's your time-plan for the weekend?
  | |
20:07  | akhilesh  |     pretty much free as of now....
  | |
20:09  | Bertl  |     great! so I'd suggest you take a quick look at the adapter board and let me know what you think of it
  | |
20:10  | akhilesh  |     there is no pdf version of it right?
  | |
20:10  | akhilesh  |     which cad tool used for the work, so that I can install the same
  | |
20:10  | Bertl  |     there is, but I think it would be simpler to check with the eagle files or gerbers
  | |
20:10  | akhilesh  |     and view the schematic and layout
  | |
20:10  | akhilesh  |     eagle/
  | |
20:11  | Bertl  |     you can grab the eagle tools (for Linux, Windows, MacOS) for free
  | |
20:11  | Bertl  |     http://www.cadsoftusa.com/
  | |
20:12  | akhilesh  |     will do the same
  | |
20:12  | Bertl  |     please don't hold back on comments and critisism, we are interested in improving our work whenever and wherever we can
  | |
20:13  | akhilesh  |     also i want to know where you guys are located so that I can come online and chat with
  | |
20:13  | Bertl  |     se6astian and I are located in Austria/Europe, but our time schedule is quite different
  | |
20:14  | Bertl  |     se6astian will probably go to bed in a few hours where I
  | |
20:14  | Bertl  |     will be working for some time tonight
  | |
20:15  | akhilesh  |     ok.. me based out in India
  | |
20:15  | Bertl  |     akhilesh: do you have access to a zedboard (not right now but in general)?
  | |
20:15  | akhilesh  |     no.....
  | |
20:15  | akhilesh  |     I have other open source boards with me beagleboard and pandaboard
  | |
20:15  | Bertl  |     okay, no problem
  | |
20:17  | Bertl  |     so, please feel free to hang around and if you want to know something about us, about axiom, about the prototype or whatever, just ask
  | |
20:17  | akhilesh  |     also I tried to download the schematic from github.. couldnt
  | |
20:17  | akhilesh  |     i can see the files over there....
  | |
20:17  | Bertl  |     http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/AXIOM/
  | |
20:18  | Bertl  |     you should find a lot of stuff there
  | |
20:18  | Bertl  |     http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/AXIOM/cmv12k-adapter-v1.0.pdf for example is the schematic as pdf
  | |
20:18  | akhilesh  |     ok.. thanks.. let me go through the adapter board and give the comments
  | |
20:18  | Bertl  |     http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/AXIOM/cmv12k-adapter-v1.0.zip contains the layers as pdfs
  | |
20:19  | Bertl  |     http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/AXIOM/cmv12k-adapter-v1.0.{sch,brd} are schematic and board 
  | |
20:20  | akhilesh  |     ok..
  | |
20:23  | akhilesh  |     are you deriving the clock to CMV12000 from the Zedaboard/
  | |
20:24  | Bertl  |     yes, both the LVDS clock and the normal command clock
  | |
20:25  | akhilesh  |     whats the freq?
  | |
20:26  | Bertl  |     LVDS is 300MHz, the command clock is around 60MHz
  | |
20:26  | akhilesh  |     CMV12000 datasheet is there on the link you send/
  | |
20:27  | Bertl  |     the datasheet is actually on github
  | |
20:27  | Bertl  |     se6astian can provide an url
  | |
20:27  | akhilesh  |     ok.. no probs.. i will get it....
  | |
20:28  | akhilesh  |     will get back to you...
  | |
20:29  | akhilesh  |     Thanks for giving an opportunity to contribute on this wonderful project
  | |
20:31  | akhilesh  |  left the channel  | |

  | |
20:51  | se6astian  |     I see everything was taken care of perfectly already :)
  | |
20:55  | Bertl  |     of course! :)
