| xfxf | shenki: hi, mithro has requested i poke you about the vizzini serial driver for hdmi2usb :) | 11:24 |
| xfxf | still having headaches with it, can't read from it at all using pyserial or minicom | 11:25 |
| xfxf | can write to it fine, though | 11:25 |
| xfxf | i believe mithro is heading home to attempt with his board but apparently you may know more? | 11:26 |
| xfxf | mithro: may as well continue in here instead of private message - pyserial comes with an example wx-based terminal, that doesn't work either | 11:27 |
| xfxf | flterm works fine though | 11:27 |
| xfxf | 115200,8,N,1, rtscts = False, dsrdtr = False | 11:28 |
| xfxf | mithro: is it insane me trying to install the windows drivers for the XR21V14101 and trying the script there? | 11:30 |
| xfxf | in theory it's cross platform, given python/pyserial/wx | 11:30 |
| mithro | btw you need to be super careful about having Opsis and Atlys boards together - the power plug is the same size and the 12V the Opsis uses will fry the Atlys | 11:31 |
| xfxf | that's... good information to know, thanks! | 11:31 |
| xfxf | (watch me blow one up in a month) | 11:31 |
| mithro | I believe that is why _florent_ no longer has a working Atlys board | 11:32 |
| mithro | shenki: I was hoping that the cr guy was going to work on that | 11:32 |
| mithro | shenki: the first step is getting better frequency counters | 11:33 |
| xfxf | mithro: plugged it into my windows machine, windows 10 already had drivers for the UART, opened up putty, connected to the com port, working fine | 11:44 |
| xfxf | mithro: okay, there seems to be a genuine issue with the getOutput() function in your version of the script, but i'm getting a lot further with this plugged into a windows box | 12:17 |
| xfxf | like, if i comment out any getOutput() lines, i'm now able to control the HDMI2USB fine from windows | 12:18 |
| xfxf | if i do that on linux, nothing still happens | 12:18 |
| mithro | xfxf: I'm just not getting anything back from the serial port at all | 12:19 |
| xfxf | yeah, the driver on linux definitely seems to be buggy | 12:19 |
| mithro | ser.inWaiting() never returns anything > 0 | 12:19 |
| xfxf | the example i'm looking at uses in_waiting | 12:20 |
| xfxf | is that the same method? | 12:20 |
| xfxf | nope, nm, i'll report when i have something useful | 12:22 |
| mithro | xfxf: well I need to sleep | 12:33 |
| xfxf | mithro: no worries, ta for the help | 12:33 |
| mithro | xfxf: you can continue development with windows - but it means you can't do the gstreamer side? | 12:34 |
| xfxf | that's correct | 12:34 |
| xfxf | but at least i can do something | 12:34 |
| xfxf | not sure if you/shenki could look at the drivers in the next few days? | 12:34 |
| xfxf | i'll have a bit of time after xmas, will be in adelaide, like there's anything else to do there ;) | 12:35 |
| *** Bertl is now known as Bertl_oO | 12:40 | |
| mithro | xfxf: Go poke shenki in person is something you can do in Adelaide ;) | 12:42 |
| xfxf | something tells me the last thing he wants on his holiday break is to be poked by me asking him to do things :) | 12:43 |
| mithro | Gnight | 12:46 |
| xfxf | night | 12:46 |
| shenki | mithro: okay | 13:02 |
| shenki | xfxf: which driver are you using? | 13:02 |
| xfxf | hi! | 13:02 |
| xfxf | 21:46:20 <xfxf> videoteam@capcore:~/voctomix/example-scripts/gstreamer$ dpkg --list|grep vizz | 13:02 |
| xfxf | 21:46:20 <xfxf> ii vizzini-dkms 1.0.0-5~ppa3~ubuntu14.04 all Kernel driver for Exar XR21V1414 USB UART | 13:02 |
| shenki | hrm | 13:06 |
| xfxf | mithro asked me to uninstall/reinstall that package, did that, no difference | 13:07 |
| xfxf | flterm works, nothing else seems to, hangs when trying to read from the port | 13:07 |
| xfxf | i seem to be able to write to it no problems using pyserial though (have a basic script where i push a button, it sends commands to the device to change input) | 13:07 |
| xfxf | and as per above, i've just plugged the device into my windows machine where i now seem to be able to read/write to it fine | 13:08 |
| xfxf | so something def funky going on with the driver | 13:08 |
| shenki | yeah | 13:09 |
| shenki | it's a pos | 13:09 |
| shenki | that source package doesn't appear to indicate what version it came from | 13:10 |
| shenki | xfxf: do you know where the bug is that tracks this stuff? | 13:13 |
| shenki | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804350 | 13:14 |

| tpb | Title: #804350 - ITP: vizzini -- Kernel driver for Exar XR21V1414 USB UART - Debian Bug report logs (at bugs.debian.org) | 13:14 |
| shenki | yeah | 13:14 |
| xfxf | i'm not sure there is one, want me to create one? | 13:14 |
| shenki | sure | 13:15 |
| xfxf | i mention it in #41 as a blocker but that's hardly a dedicated issue | 13:15 |
| xfxf | actually | 13:16 |

| xfxf | is that worth trying? | 13:16 |
| shenki | yes | 13:16 |
| shenki | but it wont work | 13:16 |
| shenki | i have a patch that makes it work | 13:16 |
| xfxf | okay | 13:16 |
| shenki | trying to find where i put it | 13:16 |
| shenki | ok, here it is https://github.com/shenki/linux/tree/vizzini | 13:19 |
| tpb | Title: shenki/linux at vizzini · GitHub (at github.com) | 13:19 |
| shenki | that's a kernel tree | 13:19 |
| xfxf | i started creating a bug against the hdmi2usb-misoc-firmware but that's probably a poor place to put it given the README links to your repo as the source | 13:19 |
| shenki | i will make a dkms module for us | 13:19 |
| xfxf | right, ta | 13:20 |
| shenki | well, -misoc-firmware downloads and installs that deb | 13:20 |
| tumbleweed | shenki: have you sent the patch to bwh? | 13:20 |
| shenki | tumbleweed: no. that's what i'll do now | 13:20 |
| shenki | after i test it again. i think it worked | 13:20 |
| xfxf | shenki: okay, so it is a suitable place for a bug? just don't want to confuse anybody more than required | 13:20 |
| shenki | i thought we had to make a change to the generic code to get it working, but it appears that's wrong | 13:20 |
| shenki | xfxf: even if it's just a pointer, so i don't lose my fixes later | 13:21 |
| xfxf | yeah, no worries | 13:21 |

| xfxf | mithro: i discovered by accident last night that the hdmi2usb video capture actually works on windows, but with two caveats | 21:48 |
| xfxf | one, it shows as no driver installed, but AMCap (software bundled with many webcams) seems to not care and allow it to be selected | 21:48 |
| xfxf | and two, it's always reporting as 1024x768, so that's the only res that works - if i set it to 720p then i see nothing in AMCap | 21:48 |
| xfxf | actually, nope, 720p works, i just had to go to the camera settings and set it to that | 21:49 |
| xfxf | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/FAi0OTk5/2015-12-22%2008_47_55-.png | 21:53 |
| xfxf | locked to 15fps though, but assuming due to earlier identified firmware bug | 21:53 |
| CarlFK | xfxf: how far did you get with voc? | 21:57 |
| xfxf | CarlFK: i have input coming from usb2hdmi now, but it's exceeding cpu significantly on my laptop | 21:58 |
| xfxf | i have a feeling vocto is going to require a desktop PC for the core | 21:58 |
| CarlFK | can we make a git repo somewhere to collect this work? | 21:58 |
| xfxf | yeah, i already started | 21:58 |
| xfxf | that said | 21:58 |

| tpb | Title: xfxf/video-scripts · GitHub (at github.com) | 21:59 |
| xfxf | it's not very organised yet | 21:59 |
| xfxf | also you're the one who is supposed to be driving this side of things, not me :) | 22:00 |
| CarlFK | that's fine - just check your stuff in | 22:00 |
| xfxf | yeah, will do, will hack on it more tonight | 22:00 |
| xfxf | i've got some half completed stuff on my windows machine at the moment - see above, only way i could get my computer talking to hdmi2usb's serial port properly with pyserial | 22:01 |
| CarlFK | damm it | 22:01 |
| CarlFK | glad to see you are only 1/2 working on voct | 22:01 |
| xfxf | sigh | 22:01 |
| xfxf | this is so we can programatically have a script that puts the hdmi2usb into the right mode | 22:01 |
| xfxf | we're not telling volunteers to go to the serial console directly | 22:01 |
| CarlFK | dc seems to have already solved that with a bash sript | 22:02 |
| xfxf | so as requested, could you please start putting a solution together? | 22:02 |
| CarlFK | and really I we should figure out the settings and have the be the default | 22:03 |
| xfxf | 720p25/50 | 22:03 |
| CarlFK | do you like the idea of having the firmware default to that ? | 22:04 |
| xfxf | if you're solving this problem, then that's your judgement | 22:05 |
| xfxf | if i am - which i'm doing - then i'd prefer the firmware is left as per upstream and we use something to poke it to the settings we want | 22:06 |
| CarlFK | tim seems against it, so im not going to push it | 22:07 |
| xfxf | i would prefer you are the one solving this :) | 22:08 |

| xfxf | multiple people taking responsibility for one thing = nobody responsible | 22:08 |
| xfxf | sure, random scripts don't help us get a repeatable process in place though, could you collect everything in a way that you can get a workflow operating, and then i can test/try to replicate here? | 22:09 |
| CarlFK | everything, no. | 22:13 |
| CarlFK | I am not confidant in any of this working out | 22:14 |
| xfxf | i would appreciate you attempting? | 22:14 |
| CarlFK | and I don't want to spend a bunch of time on my own | 22:14 |
| xfxf | you're not | 22:16 |
| CarlFK | I wanted to keep working on vocto, but I had no idea what you hand done. | 22:16 |
| CarlFK | when I hit a problem, I want someone to be around to talk to about it | 22:18 |
| CarlFK | and I want that person to be working on it too so there isn't the "whats going on?" catchup | 22:19 |
| xfxf | you're genuinely confusing me, CarlFK, and to be open, i'm starting to get very erked | 22:20 |
| xfxf | i've communicated to you what i've done, i'm around here if you need to talk to me | 22:20 |
| xfxf | i genuinely don't understand why you're refusing to work on this | 22:20 |
| CarlFK | I dont understand why vocto isn't a higher priority | 22:26 |
| xfxf | that's what i've spent most of my time on, yes. you're in the same IRC rooms I am where I've been asking questions | 22:27 |
| xfxf | both of us working on the same thing isn't going to work out particularly well, one of us needs to be doing this and touching base with updates periodically | 22:27 |
| CarlFK | I think it will work out better than no one working on it | 22:32 |
| xfxf | so I understand your perspective, can you spell out how exactly you want this to work? | 22:32 |
| xfxf | exactly how*, rather | 22:33 |
| CarlFK | let me know when you can work on it, I'll very likely join you | 22:33 |
| xfxf | I don't think that's reasonable of workable given timezone differences. I'm more than. happy to componentise this down to smaller specific subtasks and we work on bits each and liase often, would you be happy to do that? | 22:47 |
| CarlFK | no | 22:55 |
| CarlFK | a few days ago you told me to write up docs/scripts on using dvswitch | 22:57 |
| CarlFK | the a day latter said you had no intention of using dvswitch | 22:57 |
| CarlFK | that sucks | 22:58 |
| CarlFK | right now it sounds like vocto needs more cpu than the lca machines have | 22:58 |
| CarlFK | I need to know if thats a real blocker and what the options are | 22:59 |
| CarlFK | within minutes of when that issue is discovered, | 23:00 |
| CarlFK | not hours or days later | 23:00 |
