#apertus IRC Channel Logs

morning :)

Bertl: ^

oh also bluez_[m]: it would probably be interesting to start including the mxo kernel driver itself aswell :), what is the status of that?

(mostly to get rid of the 'setup' script)

we had daylight saving time change so I hope that did not lead to confusion about meeting time

:P

Bertl messaged me saying he will be a bit late this time

sure

so yesterday anuejn and me worked together a bit

so the firmware images now include (a up to date) openocd

whar's the openocd driver used for that?

Bertl: sysfsgpio :)

se6ast1an: sure, openocd is something that provides on-chip programming and debugging support (primarily via jtag) for various devices

sounds great!

hopefully we can include whatever changes are necessary to make openocd also work with the kernel driver that bluez_[m] has written to program the routing fabric machxo2's on the beta

if anuejn is here he can report himself?

basically a custom chip scope version, if I got that correctly

it currently can just be used to read / write registers

it has no logic analyzer stuff yet

and you could even do it a way that is transparent to the actual readout mechanism

well, furthermore, with some optimizations around the register handling, the lut usage for one example was cut in half, which means the registers now probably take about 1/3rd as much luts as before

what was the optimization?

I see, basically like the register file we use on the Beta

what we have is a bit more flexible I think

s/your/our/

makes sense

very good

wonderful :P

it looks like we found a contact and gigabit oscilloscope at the technical university vienna tat we can use there to test new boards/signals

more progress with pcb manufacturer inquiries show that any non fr4 material choice will likely be too expensive for us

no, I don't :)

maybe 6-9 from oshpakr and 5 from jlc

no news from the tele smt assembly front, still waiting for their offer but I will remind them soon

but of course the manufacturing of the hardware remains #1 priority

thats it from my side

Bertl: the finishing blow like always?

well, I made another attempt at setting up the backup on the hub machine, but it keeps losing network connectivity so no luck there

I also received the Plato Beta today (still in quarantine) so I will check and service it and probably do some testing and an upgrade there

so I should be able to do the power management bringup in the next few days if all goes well

there is also a lot of preparations to do for getting the designs ready for the panels

that's it from my side.

but would also cut a piece for you Bertl to test in the laser cutter whenever a meeting/delivery makes sense

panintended: please go ahead!

Which actually was a good move, as I found some issues - both in my design and coding errors I'd done. I'll give an MR to BAndiT1983 sometime this week with the changes.

great, many thanks!

ah just remembered

https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/Cloud-Native-Computing-Vienna/events/273649046/

focus on: remote collaboration

hi Konstantin29!

hi se6ast1an

ok

preferably

http://irc.apertus.org/ archives any irc activity

like the meeting

So as I mentioned in the mails I am interested in getting hands on the AXIOM Beta to give you feedback from a camera man's position. I am sure you are already in contact with some others. But I thought, give it a try. Maybe they still need help.

What kind of help is on your mind asking from a non-coder position?

as the camera is not really ready for end users from the user experience side

yes I have been reading some parts of it.

sorry have to leave now, can we continue this chat maybe tomorrow?

And I think on the graphics design side I could be a help.
