sab_123hi02:32
sab_123so i have set up everything in xilinx02:32
sab_123https://github.com/RacingTornado/JPEG_GSOC02:34
tpbTitle: GitHub - RacingTornado/JPEG_GSOC: A GSOC project for TimVideos (at github.com)02:34
sab_123also looks like eveyrthing is done on 16x8 blocks. We can change this02:47
mithrosab_123: There isn't anything useful in that repository?03:03
sab_123no03:03
sab_123I just set it up03:03
sab_123as a useful standalone03:03
sab_123text bench03:03
sab_123test bench03:03
sab_123I dodnt want to mix the 203:04
sab_123and I used the mkjpeg core directly03:04
sab_123It would take some time for me to look into the architecture03:04
sab_123He has a very good DOC03:04
sab_123But before I commit to working on this03:04
sab_123I would like to first make sure that there is nothing which is closer to my project which I can work on03:05
sab_123Can you think of anything?03:05
mithroYou could work on improving the USB stuff on the FX2 maybe?03:09
sab_123The firmware?03:09
sab_123I dont use fx2lib03:09
mithroYes03:09
sab_123I use the cypress code03:09
sab_123the bulk loop transfer03:10
sab_123but yes03:10
sab_123I guess that would be closer03:10
sab_123I was talking to makestuff(lx9)03:10
sab_123he told me he gets 45MB/s03:10
mithroYes we get similar performance03:12
sab_123what would you like me to improve?03:12
mithroGo take a look at the issues on misoc firmware repo and see what you can dig up related to USB03:14
sab_123I did03:14
sab_123There is one for USB 3.003:15
sab_123I really dont want to get into that since testing and validating the PHY itself is going to take a lot of time03:15
sab_123But i will look an non GSOC stuff now03:15
sab_123at03:16
mithroDid you actually look at the HDMI2USB misoc firmware repo?03:16
sab_123I used a filter so I only got like 5-10 issue03:16
sab_123issues03:16
sab_123I see quite a few interesting one now03:17
sab_123ones03:17
sab_123they are different repos03:19
sab_123I feel stupid now03:20
sab_123:-)03:20
sab_123#14903:23
mithroI'm afraid I don't memorise issues numbers :P03:24
sab_123https://github.com/mithro/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/tree/fx2-refactor/firmware/fx203:25
tpbTitle: HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/firmware/fx2 at fx2-refactor · mithro/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware · GitHub (at github.com)03:25
sab_123So you want me to refactor and clean this up correct?03:25
sab_123https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/issues/14903:26
tpbTitle: Rewrite the FX2 firmware to be understandable · Issue #149 · timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware · GitHub (at github.com)03:26
mithroThat would be a start03:29
sab_123that looks interesting03:31
mithroHave a look at how I've changed the firmware03:38
mithroMost of that is going to C development however03:38
sab_123I agree03:39
mithroYou might want to look at my fx2lib fork too03:40

sab_123you want me to build SDCC myself?04:38
sab_123or ubuntu one is okay?04:39
sab_123the linux one is this04:40
sab_123SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/z180/r2k/r3ka/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/ds400/hc08/s08 3.3.0 #8604 (Dec 30 2013) (Linux)04:40
mithroyou want the newest sdcc05:18
sab_123okay05:22
sab_123can i use a snapshot05:23
sab_123either way05:23
sab_123its okay05:23
sab_123for the GSOC proposal05:23
sab_123just want ot understand what you need05:23
sab_123Comment the code05:23
sab_123clean it up05:24
sab_123Anything else05:24
sab_123Because the date is 25th05:24
sab_123So I would like to start writing it up05:24
mithroClean up and comment code is not big enough for a GSoC project05:29
mithroWith the FX2 stuff you are going to have to be more self directed and figure out some strong goals based on the open issues05:30
mithroThe high level goal at the end of your project should be "we have a really awesome USB2.0 interface which works well, is well tested, is easy to hack on and provides the needed HDMI2USB functionality" -- how you get to that is going to require some though05:32

* tumbleweed broke pypy in Debian, now I'm trying to unbreak it21:24
tumbleweedactually, upstream broke it, by making it bigger, so it doesn't build on 32bit hardware any more21:24

xfxftumbleweed: nobody should be using 32-bit arch's anymore anyway, right? ;-)22:39
tumbleweedquite22:40
tumbleweedthis is only an issue in Debian, on armhf22:40
tumbleweedevery other 32bit arch is actually built on 64bit kernels22:40
tumbleweed(or has no pypy JIT, and still fits...)22:40
xfxfwierd, the bug is kernel dependent?22:40
tumbleweedno, it just needs lots of address space22:41
tumbleweedif you have to share your 4GiB with the kernel, you don't have enough22:41
xfxfkinda mindblowing it needs that much space to build, but makes sense, i guess22:42
tumbleweedyeah22:44
mithroThere are plenty of reasons to use 32bit hardware22:49
tumbleweedeven 16 or 8 bit22:49
xfxfmithro: i hope it was obvious i was being facetious22:49
tumbleweedany the good news for pypy is that pypy can build pypy inside 3GiB of address space, with some tweaking22:50
mithro16bit is a bit of a strange one, 8bit still makes sense for the *very* small things22:50
mithroAnywhere you could use 16bit is almost always better to go with 32 or 64bit22:50
tumbleweedprobably true22:51
xfxfwhat modern archs are 16 bit?22:57
xfxfi can't recall the last time i've seen one - plenty of 8/32/64 bit22:57
mithroxfxf: exactly :P22:58
mithroxfxf: Can you take a look at deeprave's pull request? https://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware/pull/214 ?22:59
tpbTitle: Make the debug command be more deterministic about debug state. by deeprave · Pull Request #214 · timvideos/HDMI2USB-misoc-firmware · GitHub (at github.com)22:59
xfxfmithro: he's been sick, which is why he hasn't responded23:00
xfxfi shall poke IRL23:00
mithroxfxf: No, I don't need you to poke him - I need you to test his change on hardware23:00
xfxfoh, right.  yeah, can do in the next few days23:01
mithroxfxf: If it works as he describes, then I can merge it - it looks good from a visual inspection point of view23:02
