| [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 |
