I mean it is gpu based but to run on a phone gpu it would have to be pretty light I would think

Hm

true true

Bertl: Well, now I have an excuse to figure out how to use the lab...

Haha

Is it a pic32mx or MZ EC? or something else entirely?

PIC32MZ

On Arch Linux good choice

Arch will be running on the FPGA core(s) though

what exactly do you mean with 'program'?

somewhat similar, the gates are all there and in fixed places, also the 'wiring'. what you configure is basically connections on intersecting wires

I don't know much about them.. Do you change the lookup tables on the fly too?

they can be changes by a mechanism called dynamic reconfiguration, which is supported on some FPGAs

basically all but the simplest gates are actually lookup tables

if you don't mind that in the meantime everything else won't work, yes

I just wasn't sure how fast you could reprogram it completely

right

which then can execute complex instructions

by uploading a bitstream :)

Bertl: okay, wasn't sure if there was some physical "reaction" that limited how fast it could go. Sorta like a CD-rW erasing/writing where it needs a specific amount of light for a specific duration before it can flip

Bertl: So it's basically a grid of gates that are all physically wired together and via a lookup table determines the actual paths?

all of them create connections in the existing fabric

I guess what I was originally trying to ask was if it's common for FGPAs to create new instructions on the fly.. A compiler will optimize chunks of code to use SIMDs if they exist. So if you have code to detect that sort of thing for your FGPA it could create that instruction on the fly and use it

I apologize if I'm not making any sense :)

think of the FPGA like this:

and on the other side 4 outputs to an HDMI connector

now you design a circuit (not a program) to retrieve the data from the sensor, reorder it, encode it and transmit it with a different data rate over those four outpus

there is no program, unless you create a soft cpu (as circuit) in the FPGA

practically the overhead for this would be way larger than doing the same with a normal CPU or even better with predefined circuits in the FPGA

no, there are two hardened arm cores in the zynq

okay I see now

So what tasks are you intending to use the FPGAs for? Taking the sensor data, debayering, and creating the 3 HDMI streams?

I have a lot of catching up to do. I've been programming as a hobby for at least 25 years now but I keep getting further and further away from the metal.

well, if you can get comfortable with designing UI stuff in C, then why not

haha

Elite had a quite spectacular GUI and '3D' rendering with way less than we have on the hardware side :)

good morning

lol

2€ per hour, max parking duration 2 hours

thanks, so i assume I will need a garage then

staying like 2 days.. any better idea where to leave the car?

do you need the car during that time?

unpaid zone wont be near right?

best tip, with ubahn connection there?

do you have those P+R sites there?

yes, but they are not free most of the time either

they are typically located at the outskirts of vienna so people can communte into the city

yes

bring your car to "Boschstraße 24"

in the 18th district which has free parking

the U lines are more like train or a subway?

the U stands for underground

hey there

they even have an accessory for small volume injection molding

http://www.tormach.com/store/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=32079

they clearly state that on the tool changer page

not sure, but it basically means that somebody should look at it and classify/assign

we might know more after tomorrow

Well at least for archival.

Bertl, so there is a maximum number of shields that can be added to the board the beta will use?

Giant 4 ft long camera XD

because of the enclosure size or because of board i/o connections?

in theory you could stack some of them up

Power constraints and loss due to more shields?

of course

and what shields are you planning to make?

a debug shield and probably some button, key, LCD shield

usb,wifi,sdcard are onboard?

also Accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope?

usb and ethernet, as well as internal SD card are onboard the MicroZed

wifi can be done via usb, IMU is onboard the Beta board

but you could extend the shield to the side if the case allows that

good evening

bot will be back when some features are ironed out

how are T3 and the bot related? :)

off to bed now ... have a good one everyone!
