mithroxfxf: non-urgent ping? I have some stuff I'd like you to look at on the weekend if possible...00:26
mithroCarlFK[m] / xfxf / anyone with audio experience - Does anyone have advice on highly directional microphones?00:46
tumbleweedwe tried them (shotgun mics attached to cameras) for BoFs at DC15, and it didn't work out very well00:53
tumbleweedalso, I'm sure paddatrapper has advice00:53
mithrotumbleweed: How were you using them?00:59
tumbleweedattached to the cameras, so they pointed where the camera did01:09
xfxfmithro: hi, available sun02:08
xfxfand my advice is don't use them02:08
xfxfassuming your problem set is user group recording02:08

CarlFK[m]mithro (IRC): I don't think I have ever used them - and if I did, it wasn't anything exciting03:51
xfxfignore above, no idea wtf that is03:51
xfxfand i experimented for ages with different types, even multiple inverted mics using some sound theory03:51
xfxfit all sucked03:51

DeveloperWilLooking to get some feedback on two very entry level radio lapel mics if anyone has used them before.  Looking to hook up to a Galaxy S6 recording the video: https://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/azden-pro-xd-digital-wireless-microphone-system# and https://www.digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au/saramonic-wireless-4-channel-vhf-omnidirectional-lavalier-microphone-system-sr-wm4c#  Thanks.05:09

Ishan_Bansalmithro : ping06:09
xfxfDeveloperWil: i am highly dubious how well that will work for a whole bunch of reasons. let us know how you go?06:20
xfxffor a user group?06:20
xfxfand a galaxy s6 has a mic in, or you're converting it to what a headset with a mic would use?06:21
xfxfi'd be going a USB DAC if going the mobile phone recording route but im dubious whether that will work well at all06:22
xfxflike, have you verified you can even record multiple hours of one video? i assume it'll be recording to a fat32 formatted sd card which limits you to 4 gb..06:24
DeveloperWilPhone will be on a tripod recording.  Looking to hook up a wireless mic to the speaker and receiver to the smartphone using a TRRS connector so we can capture the audio better.06:24
xfxfhow will you adjust mic volumes?  And monitor the audio for levels and clipping?06:24
DeveloperWiltalks never really go over 30 mins - it's a local meetup group so we'll broadcast to youtube likely06:25
DeveloperWilBoth receivers have a gain settings06:25
xfxfah if its a user group, sweet, experiment06:27
xfxfgain settings dont mean much unless you can monitor the audio btw06:27
xfxfyou're recording blind06:27
paddatrappermithro: do you have any suggestions for using a logic analyzer with the data transfer when the fastest clock speed of the analyzer's sampling is half the clock speed of the firmware? I'm finding I can't trust the output I see06:41
mithropaddatrapper: Slow down your data transfer?06:43
paddatrappermithro: as far as I understand, I can't slow the slave side. Though now thinking about it, if I'm monitoring the data output it's not connected to the slave anyway06:45
mithropaddatrapper: It uses a clock right? Slow the clock down?06:45
paddatrappermithro: I seem to remember there was something in the TRM about it, but that was 3am, so I could well be wrong06:46
paddatrapperI.e. The slave FIFO may not work at a clock speed slower than 38MHz, but I shall try and see what happens06:48
Ishan_Bansalmithro : If you are still there, have a look at the final report : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hXhApH3lDt4gT7ULloFavc0kUgBTPp0yphXEUjW9RKo/edit?usp=sharing06:51

tpbTitle: Replace shelling out to fxload with CypressFX.FX2 calls by John-K · Pull Request #67 · timvideos/HDMI2USB-mode-switch · GitHub (at github.com)08:26
John_KHaven't been able to test it as I don't have a setup but CI passes - may need minor editing08:27
paddatrappermithro: ah, the issue I was somewhat remembering is that the internal clock is 30Mhz or 45Mhz, so can't get slow enough09:50
*** hyadez has quit IRC11:00
paddatrappermithro: so I found this example of using two FX2's back to back: http://www.cypress.com/file/44781/download11:46
paddatrapperproblem is I can't follow how they generated the GPIF waveform11:47
mithropaddatrapper: see the GPIF designer tool11:48
paddatrappermithro: that is a Windows only GUI for configuring the GPIF. Ok guess I have to just manually do the config then11:50
mithropaddatrapper: and gpif2dat11:50
mithropaddatrapper: probably works under wine11:52

tpbTitle: Cypress GPIF waveform behavioral model | All My Brain (at allmybrain.com)11:52
paddatrappermithro: it also seems to require more ports than are available on the 48 pin package - Port C11:53

mithropaddatrapper: try working everything under CPU control first11:59
paddatrappermithro: I've been trying that for about the last almost 12 hours straight with no success12:00
mithropaddatrapper: ignore the receiving side and concentrate on the sending side12:02
paddatrappermithro: I can't get the EP8FIFOBUF register to empty, so the master is stuck in an infinite loop writing the same 512 bytes12:02
paddatrappermithro: that's the side I'm having issue with. Haven't been able to look at the slave side (except to see that it isn't working) because I can't get the master working12:03
mithroAre you using the sync delay when writing the values?12:05

nuecesHi all!20:39
nuecesafter a year I'm back to play with the numato20:39
nuecesI did and update in the firmware repository and now there is no more "make connect-lm32"20:41
nuecescould somebody remember how to change the video matrix connection ?20:41
nuecesor where is the documentation?20:42
mithronueces: hi!21:15
mithronueces: good to have you back!21:15
nuecesHi mithro, i get a new cam to play with21:15
mithronueces: cool21:16
mithronueces: so, the firmware has had major updates in the last year21:16
nuecesthe litex-firmware replace the misoc-firmware?21:17
mithronueces: do these instructions help?21:17
mithrohttps://github.com/timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware/blob/master/getting-started.md21:17
tpbTitle: HDMI2USB-litex-firmware/getting-started.md at master · timvideos/HDMI2USB-litex-firmware · GitHub (at github.com)21:17
mithronueces: yeah, LiteX is a "soft" fork of MiSoC21:18
nuecesI'm following that doc21:18
mithronueces: where did you get up to?21:19
mithronueces: you probably want "make flash"21:19
mithronueces: make help might also be useful21:20
nuecesI jump directly to the step 5, but the connect-lm32 is not present any more, so I go to the step 1 and start from the beginning21:21
mithronueces: we also have pre-built firmware so you don't need the Xilinx tools if you are not building the gateware21:21
mithronueces: yeah, try starting and fresh21:21
mithronueces: I do think that doc needs some updating...21:28
nuecesmithro, how I could play with the video matrix?21:52
CarlFKnueces: do you mean what commands to enter at the hdmi2usb> prompt?22:04
nuecesCarlFK, yeap22:05
CarlFKmatrix connect 0 122:05
CarlFKconnect input 0 to output 122:05
CarlFK"matrix connect" can be shortened to "x c"22:05
CarlFKso "x c p 0" is connect "pattern" to output 022:06
CarlFKx c p e = pattern to encoder (uvc video stream)22:06
CarlFK"s" for status.  "s on" it will repeat every second22:08
nuecesCarlFK, but how to get the prompt? I used to use the make connect-fx32 , but now after the run make gateware && make gateware-load && make firmware && make firmware-load && make firmware-connect i holy get a BIOS> prompt22:11
CarlFK BIOS> prompt means something went wrong22:12
CarlFKtry "boot" or "help" ... i forget  mithro? ^^22:13
CarlFKmaybe hdmi2usb22:13
nuecesok22:13
CarlFKbtw - I am not an expert at this bit - I just use it22:14
nuecesCarlFK, thanks as always for the guidance and help22:14
nuecesevery time that I want to use the opsis I have to learn all again22:15
mithronueces: at the bios prompt type "serialboot"22:20
mithroSorry, got to run.22:20
mithronueces: I've been working on making that bit more automated...22:21
