Hello bertl!
24
08:59
preetimenghwani[
For T871 do we need to do post route simulation of both deserializer and serializer or only deserializer?
25
08:59
preetimenghwani[
Currently my serializer is in test bench

hi!

se6ast1an
Bertl: you around?
40
11:18
Bertl
yup
41
11:19
se6ast1an
great
42
11:19
se6ast1an
jan so what is your current status?
43
11:19
schmoggie
i build my workspace as of recent ubuntu in a parallels vm
44
11:20
schmoggie
and compiled a new kernel.
45
11:20
schmoggie
and read thru the other "reverse engineering" things.
46
11:21
schmoggie
also getting a sony-e camera + lens to do some serial tests
47
11:21
se6ast1an
would you plan the next step to be listening in on emount communication with a known working camera?
48
11:22
schmoggie
yes. but also in parallel try to adopt the other emount hacks in a trial on the apertus
49
11:22
schmoggie
hence my question where is the entry point for the lens comms, e.g. where can i query/program the pins
50
11:23
Bertl
probably the best way here is to either reuse an existing or design a shield suitable for lens control
51
11:23
Bertl
really depends on the required interfaces and voltages
52
11:24
schmoggie
okay, so at the moment it is the e-mount connected no where ( havent taken the mount apart)
53
11:24
Bertl
do you know what control signals you need and what voltage levels they have? what about power supply for the lens-system?
54
11:24
Bertl
correct, the current e-mount is only passive, no electrical connections yet
55
11:25
schmoggie
ah
56
11:25
schmoggie
according to https://github.com/LexOptical/E-Mount
57
11:26
pratyush
is here a discussion realted to lens auto focus going on ?
58
11:27
schmoggie
so it's 10 pins.
59
11:27
schmoggie
750kbaud , but init is 1.5mbaud
60
11:28
schmoggie
so 5.0V, VCC lines are 3.15V, 2 serial pins
61
11:29
schmoggie
so a serial uart,via i2c maybe ?
62
11:30
Bertl
1.5mbaud is no problem at all, the question is more about the 5V
63
11:31
Bertl
how much power can the lens system draw for example
64
11:31
Bertl
do the communication lines work with 3.15? V
65
11:31
Bertl
etc
66
11:32
Bertl
http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Sony_E_mount_reverse_engineer
67
11:32
Bertl
this might have some useful infos
68

schmoggie
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iw54nzrF0bzQgLINpcP9F8Odd0N5cd7LjlwCDPTNZK0/edit#heading=h.dk3gmdgcv9gp
69
11:34
Bertl
okay, so the 3.15V logic can be handled by one of the existing shields, but it requires a regulator or 3.15V input
70
11:35
Bertl
leaves the question how much power the lens can draw on LENS_POWER and LOGIC_VCC (or is that an output?)
71
11:37
BAndiT1983
nope, looks like negotiated 5v or unregulated 6.4
72
11:37
BAndiT1983
*7.4v
73
11:38
se6ast1an
power usage will need to be measured with the camera/lens sniffing adapter I assume

BAndiT1983
nice, just seen the link to apertus on wiki
76
11:39
BAndiT1983
maybe the sony service manual is listing the voltage also, at least for reference
77
11:42
BAndiT1983
page 4-1 has lens related things on the left side -> NIMB contact unit
78
11:43
BAndiT1983
4-3 at right-bottom has lens power control
79
11:43
BAndiT1983
*bottom-right
80
11:45
BAndiT1983
6-21 has a motor driver, but a bit hard to distinct
81
11:46
BAndiT1983
and 6-22 lens interface
82
11:47
schmoggie
that will i do. have an arduino shield
83
11:48
schmoggie
(power measurement)
84
11:48
schmoggie
i would assume no more than 100mW
85
11:49
se6ast1an
I thought of just using a volt meter but something more sophisticated is even better I guess
86
11:49
BAndiT1983
if i decipher it correctly, then i also see 4.8V on 6-22
87
11:49
Bertl
just be careful with any arduino, it's not clear how strict the 3.15V really is
88
11:49
BAndiT1983
and 3.1V

ok schmoggie, all questions resolved for now?
91
11:57
se6ast1an
anything else we can do/help to support you?
92
11:59
Bertl
might be worth looking for an e-mount datasheet (even if it doesn't have details, it might specify the maximum current or so)
93
11:59
BAndiT1983
schmoggie: have you looked at dyxum forum already, quite a long thread, but i suggest to read the last 4-5 pages, quite interesting approach
94
12:01
schmoggie
ok will do.
95
12:01
schmoggie
url ?
96
12:02
BAndiT1983
is also in wiki, but here it is -> https://www.dyxum.com/DFORUM/emount-electronic-protocol-reverse-engineering_topic119522_page11.html

se6ast1an
ok going out for a bit, afk
98
12:07
Bertl
with the dog?
99
12:08
BAndiT1983
nah, just a leash is already enough, can tell the police that dog ran away
100
12:08
Bertl
stiff leash with wirecore -> invisible dog :)
101
12:09
BAndiT1983
now you know which companies will get bigger income at the moment
102
12:09
BAndiT1983
TP and invisible dog leash manufacturers
103
12:09
schmoggie
heh
104
12:10
schmoggie
also making some food and then hunt for a cheap e camera lens
105

it is repacked into 64bit words with RG/GB 12bit in one word and 16bit padding

Hello everyone!
140
18:37
Wanderer_99
In T871 challenge it has been mentioned you can use hardened SERDES block
141
18:37
Wanderer_99
So what exactly are we supposed to do?
142
18:38
Wanderer_99
Is it to take one hardend unit and make it flexible wrto all different styles of encoding?
