[12:53:42] <mhaberler> what you'd suggest?
[12:54:57] <alex_joni> hey mhaberler
[12:55:09] <mhaberler> servus!
[12:55:23] <alex_joni> so.. I got a BBB
[12:55:40] <alex_joni> what can I do with it (regarding lcnc) atm?
[12:55:42] <mhaberler> and you have read Charles' blog..
[12:55:52] <alex_joni> I'm aware of machinekit or what it's called
[12:55:54] <alex_joni> yeah
[12:56:00] <alex_joni> was wondering shield-wise
[12:56:06] <mhaberler> oh
[12:56:16] <alex_joni> saw references to BeBoPr - but no idea where to get one from
[12:56:27] <mhaberler> talk to Bas Laarhoven
[12:56:29] <alex_joni> and was wondering if there isn't a simpler shield that emulates a parport
[12:56:30] <mhaberler> he makes them
[12:56:49] <mhaberler> no, but maybe Steve Stallings is on that case, or Jon Elson
[12:57:03] <mhaberler> that be pretty easy, just get the breakout cape
[12:58:08] <mhaberler> and wire a db25; there are no buffer drivers between pins and cpu though, so caveat
[12:58:46] <alex_joni> hummm.. might be place for a new shield then :)

[13:07:27] <archivist> alex_joni, two versions of it while you are designing it, one where the optos are built into the drives and one with the optos on board
[13:08:15] <mhaberler> right, that be a useful cape
[13:09:43] <cradek> on low-power parport connected hardware I wonder if optos really help with real problems, or just cause pain but are there because people expect them
[13:10:44] <archivist> my drivers have built in opto I need a buffer from the parport to drive the optos
[13:11:37] <cradek> yeah that's the typical problem
[13:11:52] <cradek> also, optos can be slow
[13:21:11] <alex_joni> I agree buffers would be more useful
[13:21:25] <alex_joni> most likely socketed buffers acting as fuses :D
[13:21:49] -!- zzolo has quit [Quit: zzolo]
[13:21:53] <cradek> well I'm asking, not suggesting
[13:22:04] <skunkworks> heh - all my printer port interfaces that I have put together all have buffers.. (no optos)
[13:22:05] <cradek> I think people expect "quality" parport-connected stuff to have optos
[13:22:19] <skunkworks> buffers/inverters.
[13:22:27] <cradek> I wonder if it's driven by that or by real engineering
[13:22:29] <skunkworks> I have yet to take out a printer port.. have tried though
[13:22:50] <archivist> I use an open collector buffer either 74xx or a ULN200x
[13:23:46] <skunkworks> I don't thinnk the emco lathe has optos...
[13:25:01] <archivist> my starturn...does not either, uses the ULN for level shifting to the 12v levels of the starturn drivers
[13:25:56] <archivist> with the uln one could use it safely as a relay driver too if space for diodes added

[13:35:25] <skunkworks> I think optos mask poor grounding
[13:36:59] <archivist> dunno, there are some seriously spiky noise producers, separate grounds and optos can help

[14:02:13] <jepler> mhaberler: I thought a configure-time switch to make latency-test have its current behavior on desktop platforms and some other behavior (maybe no-base-period) on everything else
[14:02:40] <jepler> eh it doesn't matter, except that probably stepconf should invoke latency-test with a base period
[14:03:03] <mhaberler> that thing is tcl, right?
[14:03:13] <jepler> it's a shell script that creates a tcl script or something awful like that

[14:18:57] <pcw_home> Is there any advantage of high base rates for gathering peak latency data?
[14:18:58] <pcw_home> (other than being faster at acquiring that data)
[14:20:02] <jepler> pcw_home: I think if you're going to be running two threads you should take your measurements under a like situation
[14:22:03] <pcw_home> Yeah, though in practice, unless you actually do the I/O you really have no reliable figure of what the actual latency will be
[14:23:48] <pcw_home> PC/SOC I/O can be blocked by bus masters/DMA etc
[14:25:41] -!- krusty_ar_ has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
[14:28:16] <jepler> that is quite true
[14:30:47] <pcw_home> That was my disappointing finding on the Atoms (great latency on the test, poor latency if measured in physical I/o pin jitter)
[14:34:14] <pcw_home> On the other hand, for servo thread only systems especially if data sampling/output can be run by hardware timer,
[14:34:16] <pcw_home> jitter is relatively unimportant as long as you can get what you need done in the time available after a worst case

[14:54:42] <kwallace> What might a real latency test look like? I suspect and external oscillator to trigger an input then an oscilloscope to see how long it takes to get a response?
[14:56:09] <skunkworks> couldn't you do that on the printer port (out to in?) for testing printer port latency...
[15:01:58] <pcw_home> Thats what I did (toggle an output bit)
[15:05:25] <skunkworks> The absolute maximum latency on this laptop after running for a few days was 25us. not bad for a laptop

[16:48:20] <CaptHindsight> awallin: did you ever more from national instruments about where they post the source for the new ZYNQ boards?
[16:48:37] <awallin> and when I booted back to my -generic kernel I had no launcher&compiz running
[16:49:07] <awallin> CaptHindsight: I just noticed they started marketing cRIO with somve variant of preempt-rt, don't know more than that
[16:49:16] <CaptHindsight> I'm just assuming you're the same awallin that I saw on their forums
[16:49:49] <awallin> maybe :)

[16:52:40] <CaptHindsight> they look interesting but I don't expect them to be low cost

[16:54:33] <awallin> I've been using these at work http://www.ohwr.org/projects/spec/wiki they are open hardware, also sort of interesting..
[16:54:36] <CaptHindsight> plus the xilinx tools for ZYNQ pretty much encourage the use of Linux

[16:56:47] <CaptHindsight> the ARM cores are in the FPGA

[16:57:36] <awallin> oh on zynq, ok
[16:57:56] <awallin> but older/existing cRIO etc hardware does have ARM+FPGA chips?
[16:58:18] <CaptHindsight> yes, for that new cRIO, not sure on the older stuff
[16:58:56] <awallin> we should ask olimex to make an olinuxino with zynq
[16:59:30] <CaptHindsight> probably outside of his price target
[16:59:32] <pcw_home> Look at the parallela for a inexpensive ZYNQ platform
[17:00:12] <pcw_home> with 16X 1 GFLOP PRUs!
[17:00:28] <awallin> eh, ev-kit is 1300euros...
[17:01:02] <CaptHindsight> I might make some ZYNQ boards later this year, maybe I'll float some open kitchen sink design around China
[17:01:45] <CaptHindsight> $99 Parallella board http://www.parallella.org/
[17:02:14] <awallin> so the idea is to leave part of the FPGA free for user applications? and the rest is used for the ARM core?
[17:03:05] <CaptHindsight> Vivado and the SDK make it really easy to design custom peripherals and write the drivers and bootloader
[17:04:29] <CaptHindsight> yeah, they leave free gates for you to add your own IP, say hardware for video edge detect or similar
[17:05:06] <awallin> if they can sell it for $99 the zynq chip can't be that expensive?
[17:05:22] <pcw_home> I think they got a specail deal
[17:05:35] <pcw_home> the parst cost is more than that
[17:05:46] <pcw_home> parts
[17:05:53] <CaptHindsight> the only negative thing with the tools IMHO so far is the reliance on code sorcery vs crosstool
[17:07:06] <CaptHindsight> pcw_home: I read on one of the forums about the prices starting ~$40 ea
[17:07:16] <pcw_home> Kind of like the core generator, I purged all core generator created objects early on..

[17:07:38] <pcw_home> Yes they are getting more reasonable

[17:22:21] <mhaberler> right

[17:30:46] <awallin> mhaberler: for testing preempt-rt, do I need all those debs: firmware-image, headers, image, libc?
[17:31:42] <mhaberler> you likely need image libc; suggest firmware
[17:31:55] <mhaberler> do you have an r8168 net i/f?
[17:32:35] <mhaberler> if so, fetch the http://static.mah.priv.at/public/rt-preempt/r8168-8.035.00-3.10.4.tgz file ***before you reboot*** (and not into /tmp ;)

[17:33:30] -!- dosas has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[17:37:32] <mhaberler> in that case the preempt kernel likely comes up with a broken network i/f ; blacklist the r8169 driver (which very likely is loaded, see lsmod), and build the one from the r8168 tar archive
[17:38:27] <mhaberler> that should get the i/f working. unfortunately this is an issue unresolved for the better part of a decade now, and affects all torvalds kernels and derived up to at least 3.10
[17:39:32] <mhaberler> there are lots of r8168 driver archives out there; the one I referred to does work with the 3.10-4 kernel

[23:56:52] <KimK> memleak, CaptHindsight: Any news on the status of RTAI kernels for 12.04? Not rushing you, just looking ahead.
[23:58:24] <CaptHindsight> KimK: what kernel version is that again?
[23:59:58] <KimK> (Well, OK, maybe rushing you a little. I just noticed that the FreeCAD daily PPA guys have stopped supporting 10.04 a few weeks ago. I *thought* it had been a while since an update, lol.)
