16:00 | se6ast1an_ | hello everyone
| |
16:00 | se6ast1an_ | please pm me now as usual to report
| |
16:01 | Bertl | we probably should have rescheduled the meeting today :)
| |
16:02 | Bertl | or at least scheduled it two hours later ...
| |
16:02 | se6ast1an_ | ah, why is that?
| |
16:03 | Bertl | August 24 - 31 18:00 UTC Students submit their final work product
| |
16:03 | se6ast1an_ | ah, yes just read the gsoc timeline
| |
16:03 | se6ast1an_ | good, lets meet in 2 hours
| |
16:03 | Bertl | appreciated!
| |
16:04 | se6ast1an_ | then I am sure everyone is eager to share their end reports!

17:00 | preetimenghwani[ | Hello Everyone, I wont be able to attend todays meeting so I am repoting right now
| |
17:01 | preetimenghwani[ | This week we tested the patch of two writers on full Beta, it worked fine
| |
17:02 | preetimenghwani[ | I have also made the patch doubt throughput we are currently testing it on full Beta
| |
17:03 | preetimenghwani[ | I also implemented a wrapper for pixel remapper will test it soon
| |
17:04 | preetimenghwani[ | I removed the timing erros and now we are able meet all the timing constraints
| |
17:05 | preetimenghwani[ | Here is my GSoC final report: : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nMD4Cyxck2vTtg9ObFisTuhURBMLQoe-/view?usp=sharing
| |
17:05 | preetimenghwani[ | Thanks!
| |
17:06 | Bertl | thanks you!

18:01 | Bertl | meeting time?
| |
18:01 | se6ast1an | MEETING TIME
| |
18:01 | se6ast1an | who wants to report after just having pressed the final submit button ? :)
| |
18:02 | se6ast1an | metal_dent[m]: please go ahead
| |
18:02 | metal_dent[m] | hi everyone!
| |
18:02 | Bertl | how was pressing the 'final submit button'?
| |
18:03 | metal_dent[m] | was a little nervous ':D
| |
18:04 | RexOrManual | left the channel | |
18:04 | metal_dent[m] | last week i worked mostly to properly read the data from the selected key mangers (west or east) using the python script, i added SelectChip() and GetKMData() methods in the firmware
| |
18:05 | metal_dent[m] | this uses the existing ICSProgrammer class methods to select km, enter lvp and retrieve the data
| |
18:07 | metal_dent[m] | after it worked nicely, i formatted the hex file data using the intelhex library in the python script (but i did some unnecessary operations which i discussed with BAndiT1983 )
| |
18:08 | metal_dent[m] | due to the lack of time, i couldn't successfully implement the writing process (did do some testing which did not work properly)
| |
18:09 | metal_dent[m] | here is my final report -> https://github.com/MetalDent/GSoC-Final-Report/blob/master/GSoC_Final_Report_MetalDent.pdf
| |
18:09 | metal_dent[m] | the code link is also present there
| |
18:11 | metal_dent[m] | that's all from my side! thank you and really enjoyed the gsoc period and learnt many useful stuff including the good coding styles (though still need to improve there)
| |
18:12 | se6ast1an | great to hear, many thanks!
| |
18:12 | Bertl | glad you enjoyed it and looking forward to see you around after GSoC 2020
| |
18:12 | se6ast1an | apoorva_arora & bluez_[m] you around?
| |
18:12 | se6ast1an | we would love to hear your final report!
| |
18:12 | metal_dent[m] | yes of course!
| |
18:13 | bluez_[m] | yep I am here
| |
18:13 | se6ast1an | great, please go aheag bluez_[m]!
| |
18:14 | bluez_[m] | thanks! so last week I finally added support for our driver in OpenOCD... the patch can be found in my repo
| |
18:14 | bluez_[m] | https://github.com/Swaraj1998/axiom-beta-rfdev
| |
18:14 | bluez_[m] | the report is there as well
| |
18:15 | bluez_[m] | after some testing I was finally able to flash the FPGAs with SVF replays!!
| |
18:16 | bluez_[m] | The last week was very tightly packed...did a lot of changes... many many bugs
| |
18:16 | bluez_[m] | finally wrapped up the code and cleaned up as much as I could
| |
18:17 | bluez_[m] | I would say the project is in a way complete... but it definitely needs a lot of improvements in terms of code design, performance etc.
| |
18:17 | bluez_[m] | I did as much as i could...the rest I will be continuing after gsoc
| |
18:18 | se6ast1an | great! many thanks
| |
18:18 | Bertl | well, you can tick all the boxes in the task description
| |
18:18 | bluez_[m] | Also updated the WIki somewhat
| |
18:18 | bluez_[m] | oh and i would have pressed the 'final submit button' at least three times xD
| |
18:19 | bluez_[m] | <Bertl "well, you can tick all the boxes"> i guess... thanks :)
| |
18:19 | bluez_[m] | I had a lot of help :)
| |
18:20 | Bertl | that's what the mentors are for
| |
18:20 | bluez_[m] | and I had a great experience! thats all from me!
| |
18:20 | se6ast1an | thanks!
| |
18:20 | se6ast1an | anu3jn: you around?
| |
18:20 | se6ast1an | vup?
| |
18:23 | se6ast1an | anu3jn asked me to report in case he wont be able to be here:
| |
18:23 | RexOrManual | joined the channel | |
18:23 | se6ast1an | he worked on AXIOM Micro r3 routing
| |
18:23 | se6ast1an | quick update from me:
| |
18:24 | se6ast1an | after some deadlines with my dayjob last week I eventually got to grips with the PCB prober and python
| |
18:24 | se6ast1an | I can already move the probe head on all axis, change speed/stepsizes
| |
18:24 | se6ast1an | save and move to fiducials
| |
18:25 | se6ast1an | added a safety mechanism that prevents the user from crashing the needle into the board unintentionally
| |
18:25 | se6ast1an | now I am implementing the optical fiducial center detection movements
| |
18:25 | se6ast1an | the detection was already added by bertl
| |
18:26 | se6ast1an | now I just enabled the move to center function
| |
18:26 | se6ast1an | github repo was also created last week and I pushed code changes constantly
| |
18:26 | se6ast1an | axiom presentation at CH meet last wednesday also went well
| |
18:27 | se6ast1an | small crowd due to covid distance rules
| |
18:27 | se6ast1an | but very interesting questions and discussions
| |
18:27 | se6ast1an | laser cut session with bertl last thursday went good and bad
| |
18:27 | se6ast1an | the acrylic pieces for glue tests worked well
| |
18:28 | se6ast1an | in general the laser cutter is fully operational now which is also great
| |
18:28 | se6ast1an | cutting the rubber sheets didnt work very well though, ugly edges so we need another method to manufacture the enclosure feet custom shapes
| |
18:28 | se6ast1an | will continue to work on the prober for the next week
| |
18:28 | se6ast1an | thats it from me
| |
18:29 | se6ast1an | Bertl: do you want to "finish us"?
| |
18:29 | Bertl | of course!
| |
18:29 | Bertl | I'm too tired today for any special moves though :)
| |
18:29 | se6ast1an | sub zero tired?
| |
18:30 | Bertl | yep, obviously I spent most of the time with our students, testing and integrating code where possible
| |
18:31 | Bertl | there is still a lot to do, as reported, but it looks like GSoC 2020 was quite successful
| |
18:31 | Bertl | at least productive :)
| |
18:31 | RexOrManual | left the channel | |
18:32 | Bertl | there is now another GSoC week in front of us (final evaluations) where we will try to sort through the submissions and test and get as much as possible integrated as well
| |
18:33 | Bertl | after that, it should be back to normal business ...
| |
18:33 | Bertl | that's it from my side for this week :)
| |
18:36 | se6ast1an | great, many thanks!
| |
18:36 | se6ast1an | anyone else who wants to speak?
| |
18:37 | se6ast1an | otherwise, MEETING CONCLUDED, gsoc might be over but we would love to still hear from you next week!
| |
18:38 | se6ast1an | with final evaluations coming up
| |
18:38 | Bertl | s/coming up/being here/
| |
18:39 | bluez_[m] | yep!
| |
18:39 | metal_dent[m] | sure!
| |
18:58 | Bertl | off for now ... bbl

20:52 | anuejn | bluez_[m]: we might want to discuss how to integrate your driver into the automatic firmware builds :)
| |
20:54 | anuejn | Do we want to import your code into the axiom-firmware tree or do we want to keep it seperate?
| |
20:55 | anuejn | (And include it as a submodule)
| |
20:55 | anuejn | In any case, i think we want to somehow move the code inside the apertus github orga
| |
21:36 | se6ast1an | its not really a separate thing (right?) so I guess the firmware repo would be suitable
| |
21:39 | se6ast1an | off to bed for today, good night

22:06 | Topic | apertus° - open source cinema | www.apertus.org | join the apertus° Lab: http://lab.apertus.org/ | IRC Logs available at: http://irc.apertus.org | Weekly IRC meeting: Monday 18:00 CET/CEST
| |
22:06 | se6ast1an | has set the topic | |
22:23 | bluez_[m] | anuejn: sure, integrating into firmware repo could be a good idea... But yes we should discuss it, maybe Bertl could give some input here...?
| |
22:29 | Bertl_oO | yes, we should definitely integrate it, we need to address a few things though to make it really useful/standard
| |
22:29 | bluez_[m] | Also, I don't want axiom betas all around to crash because of my driver, so I want to take some time to make sure that doesn't happen ': D
| |
22:30 | Bertl_oO | yeah, main issue is that we probably want to switch to the kernel GPIO drivers
| |
22:30 | bluez_[m] | Bertl: indeed what i was thinking...
| |
22:31 | Bertl_oO | well, to be precise, to a modified version with named/labeled IOs
| |
22:31 | Bertl_oO | the idea here is that we do a lot of stuff via those GPIO drivers
| |
22:31 | Bertl_oO | s/drivers/extenders/
| |
22:32 | Bertl_oO | and we currently use 'magic' register settings in our python scripts to do so
| |
22:32 | Bertl_oO | now in cases like the analog switch, it is not really necessary to know what the GPIO does (selecting the bus) as long as it is correctly identified and properly used
| |
22:33 | Bertl_oO | but in the many other cases, were e.g. a GPIO pin disables or enables a power rail or report the status of such a power rail
| |
22:34 | Bertl_oO | it is rather confusing to enable GPIO 987 or read GPIO 985
| |
22:34 | Bertl_oO | so the idea here was to have some meaningful names associated with each GPIO
| |
22:34 | Bertl_oO | as far as we know (and that doesn't mean too much :) this is not currently possible from the kernel side
| |
22:35 | Bertl_oO | so the options there are basically:
| |
22:36 | Bertl_oO | - 'improve' the kernel GPIO driver to use some kind of labels from the devicetree
| |
22:36 | Bertl_oO | - use some smart userspace script to create a bunch of symlinks somewhere
| |
22:37 | Bertl_oO | and of course, once done, we need to adapt the scripts to make use of that
| |
22:38 | Bertl_oO | bluez_[m]: for your driver, also we need to get the generalization working properly, i.e. no RFE/RFW special casing :)
| |
22:38 | Bertl_oO | s/also we/we also/
| |
22:39 | bluez_[m] | Yep yep ill get to it :)
| |
22:39 | Bertl_oO | this for example could be used to program/debug MachXO2s on the plugin modules like the USB3 module
| |
22:39 | Bertl_oO | although that might need some other tricks ...
| |
22:41 | Bertl_oO | we should also discuss the PIC side functions we want to implement to simplify the driver setup and allow for non driver related PIC access
| |
22:41 | Bertl_oO | (which wasn't tested so far, IIRC)
| |
22:41 | bluez_[m] | I have no idea but guess ill know when ill know xD
| |
22:42 | Bertl_oO | mainly the other 16 PIC registers :)
| |
22:42 | Bertl_oO | we might at some point wrap those into a GPIO driver or so
| |
22:44 | bluez_[m] | <Bertl_oO "this for example could be used t"> Are we going to do that 'through' one of the routing fabrics though...?
| |
22:45 | Bertl_oO | kind of, yes
| |
22:45 | bluez_[m] | Interesting....
| |
22:46 | Bertl_oO | at least for now, till we have a proper remote JTAG interface via the Zynq-MachXO2 connection
| |
22:46 | Bertl_oO | (which would be way faster and probably also simpler)
| |
22:47 | bluez_[m] | Ohh.. Ok ok
| |
22:48 | bluez_[m] | Anyway... Was just dozing off... So lets discuss tomorrow..
| |
22:49 | bluez_[m] | Nn!
| |
22:49 | Bertl_oO | yep, have a good sleep!
