mithroCarlFK: hdmi2usb stuff is my first prioirty today00:11
mithroCarlFK: take a look at snowmix00:15
CarlFKoh yeah.. I started that.. lets try that again.00:16
droyhi CarlFK00:24
*** sarwarc has quit IRC00:38
mithroCarlFK: the developer is really active on the mailing lists01:14
mithroCarlFK: so *do* post questions01:14
mithroCarlFK: I'm still not quite sure snowmix does what we want01:14
CarlFKgit clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/snowmix/code snowmix-code ... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.02:09
CarlFKhuh.02:09
CarlFKsf makes me grumpy.  I hate that I have to click html links to download the code02:10
mithrothere is no code repository currently02:13
mithrodid you see they install crapware when you download in windows now?02:14
CarlFKsf does? (I haven't touched windows in .. years)02:16
*** droy has quit IRC02:23
CarlFKgrumble... now I am debugging this nifty bootstrap script that seems to be a dependency checker02:23
CarlFK"You need to install gstreamer greater than 1.2.2"  I have GStreamer 1.2.302:25
*** andi-m2 has quit IRC02:27
CarlFKyeah, all this gstreamer version checking doesn't really handle this case.  it doesn't ecoh "press return" like all the other cases do, and after all the nested if/echo is read reply02:29
mithro?02:29
CarlFKpress enter, off we go to running ./configure yay02:29
*** andi-m2 has joined #timvideos02:29
CarlFKsnowmix install process has a glitch02:30
CarlFKI am getting though it.  building now...02:30
CarlFKwell, it runs.  that's the good news.  the UI is a little overwhelming.02:44
CarlFKheh - the first random thing I click on throws an error dialog02:46
CarlFKI am not giving up yet, but it is failing 2 of dvswitch's design goals: limit the UI so that volunteers don't have too many choices03:04
CarlFKand limit code base so that what is there is rock solid03:05
mithroCarlFK: the codebase is pretty limited from what I last looked at03:29
mithroCarlFK: the UI can be customized03:29
mithroshenki / canci: ping?03:52
mithroCarlFK: Oh, I'm pretty sure I have a fully open source method for programming the HDMI2USB now (not needing the Digilent tools)03:53
CarlFKneat03:53
mithroCarlFK: oh, did you have any chance to put together my computer?03:54
CarlFKis there something I can try?03:54
CarlFKno, haven't found a PS yet03:54
mithroCarlFK: not yet, hoping to confirm that it works today03:54
mithroneed to figure out the issue shenki / canci where having03:54
CarlFKI think I am too: device doesn't show up under lsusb ?03:55
mithroyeah03:55
mithroCarlFK: I doubt I'll get to it today, but I'm hoping to set up a virtual machine with the Atlys connected and a video loop so we can do some type of automated testing04:02
CarlFKneat04:03
*** Niharika has joined #timvideos04:17
mithroCarlFK: is skay around?04:28
CarlFKjust went to sleep04:29
mithroahh no worries04:32
NiharikaHi mithro. Hi CarlFK.04:51
mithroCarlFK / shenki / canci: you about?05:17
CarlFKmithro: mostly here05:18
mithroCarlFK: wanted to check tou get the same behaviour as I get05:18
mithroCarlFK: you able to get out your Atlys board to check?05:21
CarlFKyes, sec...05:21
mithroCarlFK: What do your displays output? DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort?05:23
CarlFKhdmi05:28
CarlFKI have both a pi and the laptop the atlys usb is hooked to05:29
CarlFKlaptop hdmi out into altys, altlys to lcd05:31
CarlFKdmesg shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/7289230/  lsusb shows Bus 001 Device 015: ID 1443:0007 Digilent Development board JTAG05:37

mithroand complete step 105:38
CarlFKStep 1 - Plug the power from your power pack into the POWER port.05:39
CarlFKthat?05:39
mithros/step 1/stage 1/05:45
CarlFKhttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/Firmware-load-scripts  setup.sh - those two wgets and installs - does that look right?05:47
tpbTitle: Firmware load scripts · timvideos/HDMI2USB Wiki · GitHub (at github.com)05:48
mithroI'm not sure those firmware download locations are correct05:48
CarlFK The Digilent Adept Tools -- Follow these instructions if you are just using/testing a HDMI2USB. ...click05:50
CarlFKTo use this method you must have the Adept 2.XX.XX Utilities installed and Adept 2.XX.XX Runtime installed.05:50
CarlFKAdept 2.XX.XX Utilities installed and Adept 2.XX.XX Runtime both link to the same page05:52
CarlFK Adept 2.15.3 Runtime, X64 Linux05:52
CarlFKAdept 2.1.1 Utilities, X64 Linux05:52
CarlFKhttp://www.digilentinc.com/Data/Products/ADEPT2/digilent.adept.runtime_2.15.3-x86_64.tar.gz05:53
mithroCarlFK: yes that is correct as they are both on those pages05:53
CarlFKhttp://www.digilentinc.com/Data/Products/ADEPT2/digilent.adept.utilities_2.1.1-x86_64.tar.gz05:53
tpb<http://ln-s.net/Bs$E> (at www.digilentinc.com)05:53
CarlFKso those two05:53
CarlFK Follow these instructions if you are just using/testing a HDMI2USB. - that page then has steps 1 to 805:55
CarlFKwhich seems to be the same as on https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/Digilent-Atlys-Board%3A-Loading-Firmware05:56
tpb<http://ln-s.net/-DD0> (at github.com)05:56
mithroCarlFK: you've hardcoded a branch value into your script05:57
mithroCarlFK: it would be good if your script output the md5sums of the 2 firmware files05:57
CarlFKI have the runtime and utils installed.05:58
CarlFKit isn't cleare what is and isn't Stage 105:58
mithroStage 1 is loading the FPGA firmware06:00
mithroStage 2 is loading the cypress firmware06:00
mithroStage 3 is using the device06:00
CarlFKwell.. the "Follow these instructions" page doesn't have links to the firmware06:02
CarlFKthe first page has 2 links (I think)06:02
CarlFKwhich  hdmi2usb.bit do you want me to use?06:02
mithrowhat is the "Follow these instructions" page?06:02
mithrohttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/Digilent-Atlys-Board:-Loading-Firmware <-- this is the page I'm taking about06:03
tpb<http://ln-s.net/-H0v> (at github.com)06:03
CarlFKhttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB/wiki/Digilent-Atlys-Board%3A-Loading-Firmware#stage-1   Stage 1  You must install either;   The Digilent Adept Tools -- Follow these instructions06:03

CarlFKthat take06:03
CarlFKthat takes me to another page that has the links to the page to download from, and then the06:04
CarlFKthe same steps 1,2,3...06:04
mithrolink?06:04
CarlFKoh, it just drops me down on the same page06:08
mithroyeah06:10
CarlFKdjtgcfg init -d Atlys ... Found 1 device(s):06:13

tpb<http://ln-s.net/-Rd7> (at github.com)06:23
mithroFirmware Needed - hdmi2usb.bit06:24
mithroIn both cases, you will need the hdmi2usb.bit file for this stage. Prebuilt firmware blob can be found in the HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt repository.06:24
mithro * Quick link to latest stable firmware.06:24
mithro * Quick link to latest testing firmware.06:24
CarlFKheh.. I am guessing not the testing firmware ;)06:27
CarlFKis prebuild the same as stable?06:27
mithrohttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt <-- this repository has *multiple* firmwares in it06:28
tpbTitle: timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt · GitHub (at github.com)06:28
mithroso there is "prebuild" firmware doesn't actually give me enough information06:28
CarlFKhttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-firmware-prebuilt/raw/master/hdmi2usb.bit  should I use that one?06:29
mithroyes06:34
CarlFKok, display now shows the red/green te06:40
CarlFKtest06:40
mithrogreat!06:40
mithrocan you connect the RPi?06:40
mithroand do an xrandr on the device?06:40

tpbTitle: Digilent Atlys Board: Switches, Buttons and Status LEDs · timvideos/HDMI2USB Wiki · GitHub (at github.com)06:53
CarlFKshould the buttons work if I have not loaded hdmi2usb.hex ?06:55
mithroyes07:06
mithroso should the LEDs07:06
mithrowell, the ones related to the USB aren't07:06
mithrothe buttons aren't debounced very well, so you might need to be careful when pressing them07:06
CarlFKwhen I press them, should the lights near the rj44 light up?   (they don't)07:14
mithrorj44?07:16
*** sarwarc has joined #timvideos07:16
mithroeach of the LEDs is labeled07:16
mithroLD0, LD1, LD2....07:16
CarlFKerj4507:17
CarlFKgah.07:17
CarlFKrj4507:17
mithroNo07:18
mithronone of the LEDs near the RJ45 connector are used07:18
mithrothey are connected to the ethernet controller07:18
CarlFKhmmm I seem to remember them lighting up when buttons where held down07:19
mithroYou are thinking of the LEDs above the switch07:20
mithroshenki / canci: where you building your own .bit files?07:24
mithroAnyone able to identify the font used on the red text in https://docs.google.com/a/mithis.com/file/d/0B5VlNZ_Rvdw6dHRnNzgtZHVWYW8/edit ?07:30

mithrothat also looks wrong07:33
mithroit should be 1024x768 or 720p07:34
mithroI'm going to have to head out to a train in the next 30-45 minutes07:38
mithrowhich probably means you should be in bed07:38
CarlFKmithro: ok, I get that if I boot the pi with it plugged into the atlys07:38
CarlFKyeah07:38
mithroCarlFK: can you dump the RPi's output?07:39

mithroCarlFK: the buttons should let you change which output is displayed07:42
CarlFKBTNU (N4) Selects HDMI 0 as output.07:45
CarlFKthe display goes black07:45
CarlFKBTND (P3) Selects test pattern as output.07:45

CarlFKyep.07:46
mithrookay, so the matrix looks to be working then07:47
CarlFKhmm... if I switch away, I can't switch back07:48
CarlFKbtnu = black, btnd = red/green07:49
mithroCarlFK: BTNU (N4)Selects HDMI 0 as output.07:59
mithroBTND (P3)Selects test pattern as output.07:59
CarlFKseems I have to power cycle the pi to get hdmi008:03
mithroyou sure the Pi wasn't just displaying black screen?08:04
*** sarwarc has quit IRC08:06
CarlFKwell.. I flipped away while it was still booting, so the text display - I doubt it would blank the display at that point08:06
CarlFKand I am getting similar using a laptop for hdmi08:07
*** sarwarc has joined #timvideos08:09
CarlFKhmm, It goes away, but if I hit "detect displays" it comes back08:09
CarlFKor maybe "apply"   once the display is detected.  I am having trouble telling what is going on08:11
mithrowhat does xrandr output for the display?08:14
CarlFKHDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)08:15
CarlFKhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7289985/  all xrandr08:15

CarlFKpower cycle atlys, djtgcfg prog --verbose -d Atlys -i 0 -f hdmi2usb.bit, now it shows up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7290010/08:18
tpbTitle: Ubuntu Pastebin (at paste.ubuntu.com)08:18
CarlFKhmm, and now I can flip between laptop and red/green as expected.08:20
mithroWhat is the xrandr output of your display device without the HDMI2USB connected?08:23
