[10:21] <turran> hi all
[10:22] <turran> im trying to make an application for neuros osd to encode video from a camera
[10:22] <turran> but dont want to use the provided ui
[10:22] <turran> is it possible?
[10:46] <JoeBorn> sure, it's possible, what are you trying to do?
[10:50] <turran> im trying to develop an application that should capture the data from a video camera
[10:51] <turran> and store it in video/images with different configurations, frame rate, etc
[10:51] <turran> but dunno where to start, just downloaded the neuros_osd.tar.bz
[10:56] <JoeBorn> do you have any experience with C and Linux?
[10:56] <turran> yep =)
[10:57] <JoeBorn> ok, well the code is all C and the OSD runs linux, but there are some "unconventional" things about the code
[10:57] <JoeBorn> first, OSDMain is a big embedded-style application that does everything
[10:58] <JoeBorn> and second it uses nano-x and a custom set of widgets along with a custom media framework with plugins, modeled after XMMS
[10:58] <JoeBorn> called NMS neuros media server
[10:59] <turran> ok
[11:00] <turran> i need to know how to make my toolchain, is it provided? where? to develop apps for the neuros do i have to *only* use the neuros api? if so where is that api documented?
[11:00] <turran> after downloading the neuros_osd.tar.bz there are lots of dirs, im currently compiling neuros_bsp
[11:02] <turran> also when connecting over serial port to the neuros the osd application is always running
[11:02] <turran> if i do ^C the system reboots after a few seconds, so i cant have the console for much time
[11:03] <turran> and if i do /etc/init/osdmain stop the same thing happens
[11:03] <turran> is there a way to have a console?
[11:12] <JoeBorn> yes, well first of all, probably what you need to do first is setup a real dev environment
[11:13] <JoeBorn> wiki.neurostechnology.com has something of an overview
[11:14] <JoeBorn> which has been enhanced with scratchbox and a vm image wiki.neurostechnology.com
[11:15] <JoeBorn> take a look at those and that should give you a notion of what's involved.
[11:15] <JoeBorn> the vm image makes setting up the environment much easier
[11:15] <JoeBorn> NFS, tftp, cross compiling, etc
[11:15] <JoeBorn> all the stuff specific to programming an embedded device.
[11:16] <turran> ok, just downloaded the vmware image, i'll take a look into it, thanks :)
[11:20] <JoeBorn> happy to help, one thing we'd ask in return is that you help document as you learn
[11:20] <JoeBorn> and I'd love to post information about whatever you're doing
[11:20] <JoeBorn> to share projects with the community when possible.
[11:23] <shirour> Hi everybody...! Is anyone here familiar with the TV OUT drivers of the DM320?
[13:41] <shirour-> does anyone here know how the tv out driver works?
[17:52] <Improv> Hey all
[17:52] <Improv> When I use the console app, and use the serial for input,
[17:52] <Improv> how do I get rid of the "waiting for input" floaty thing?
[17:59] <Improv> Ahh, interesting. Killing osdmain makes the system serial-admin-friendly until the watchdog reboots the system
[18:03] <chreekat> hehe
[18:07] <Improv> Heya Xorlev
[18:07] <Xorlev> 'ello
[18:08] <Improv> Hmm. Hitting escape also brings up a root prompt
[18:09] <Improv> and also eventually makes the watchdog reboot the system
[18:09] <Improv> Hmm
[18:10] <Xorlev> Did you patch watchdog to not reboot?
[18:11] <Improv> Not yet.
[18:11] <Improv> I just got the hardware needed to talk to the thing via serial last weekend
[18:11] <Improv> And so today was my first boot with a serial console
[18:14] * Improv  continues to plunk through getting Fedora ready to nfsboot the thing
[18:19] <Improv> Hmm
[18:20] <Improv> Setting the time/date does not work.
[18:20] <Improv> The gui thinks it's the year 2000,
[18:20] <Improv> and the cl thinks it's the start of the Unix epoch.
[18:20] <Improv> That's irritating.
[18:47] <JBorn_Handheld> hi all
[19:26] <oiswego> anyone ever the problem where boot hangs when the network cable is plugged in?
[20:30] <JBorn_Handheld> hi all
