From YouTube: ORI FPGA Meetup 13 December 2022
Description
Updates and discussion about FPGA and Remote Labs work. Thank you for a great 2022! We will resume meetings on 10 January 2023.
A
A
Welcome
everybody
to
the
stand-up
meeting
or
open
Research
Institute
for
fpga
and
remote
Labs.
It
is
the
13th
of
December
2022.
So
this
will
be
our
last
meeting
for
the
year,
we're
going
to
take
off
until
January
we'll
resume
in
January,
but
we
have
tons
to
do
over
the
over
the
break.
What
we'll
be
doing
is
is
going
through
and
improving
the
documentation
and
usability
of
our
repositories
and
also
making
some
some
decisions
about
work
over
the
next
year
and
and
documenting
the
progress
over
the
past
year.
A
So
we
try
to
do
this
as
often
as
possible
and
we're
going
to
make
a
concerted
effort
to
to
document
work
over
the
past
year
and
I
know.
A
lot
of
people
are
on
travel,
safe,
travels
to
our
usual
folks,
if
you're,
if
you're
out
there
and
have
a
wonderful
holiday,
if
you're
have
one
coming
up
and
what
we
do
in
this
meeting,
is
we
talk
about
what
we've
done
over
the
past,
usually
the
past
week
or
more,
and
then
what
we
have
planned
to
do
over
the
next
week?
Or
so?
A
If
we
need
any
resources
for
getting
this
done
and
if
we
have
any
roadblocks
and
so
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
I'm
going
to
start
with
with
James
to
to
give
us
an
update
on
anything,
that's
happened
with
remote
lab
South
and
then
James
go
ahead
and
and
pick
the
next
person
to
to
talk
and
as
far
as
like
remote
lab,
South
I'm
sorry
I've
been
on
on
travel
for
regulatory
work.
So
I've
not
gotten
a
lot
done
on
on
anything
for
roommate
Labs.
So
it's
all
you
James.
B
Thank
you
Michelle
for
those
who
don't
know:
I'm
James
kilo,
Juliet,
seven
kilo,
Delta
Echo,
I'm
a
technician
at
Ori
remote.
Sadly,
this
past
week
we
weren't
doing
as
much
either
because
this
last
week
was
finals
week
for
my
college,
education
and
so
I
had
been
focusing
on
that.
But
with
that
complete
and
out
of
the
way
I've
got
more
time
to
focus
on
Ori
and
we're
finishing
up
some
of
preparing
the
primary
facility
for
getting
new
equipment
and
such
into
place
and
we're
going
to
be
expanding.
A
Thank
you
so
much
yeah
I'm,
looking
forward
to
2023
should
be
really
good
and
yeah
go
ahead
and
pick
the
next
question.
C
Okay,
that'll
be
a
short
report.
I
have
nothing
to
report
on
remote
lab
was
it's
hanging
in
there,
we've
been
using
it.
Hopefully
somebody
else
has
too
I
will
pass
it
on
to
Angel.
D
Nothing
nothing
much
from
my
side
just
catching
up
on
all
the
stuff.
As
you
are,
you
must
be
aware
that
I
was
out
of
action
due
to
some
family
emergency,
so
now,
I'm
back
I
would
just
be
a
spectator
and
listening
to
where
we
stand
today
and
then
we'll
go
through
the
slack
Channel
emails
and
we'll
pick
it
up
from
there.
Thank
you.
E
I
work
still
work
with
TVB
GSE,
not
a
lot
of
improvement
on
that
and
trying
to
to
fix
some
issue
with
shadow
to
well
in
parallel
of
cups,
trying
to
have
a
Eda
which
could
be
of
viable
lens,
which
could
be
a
fixed
issue,
a
quick
fix
issue.
E
A
C
C
If
it
has
to
be
a
multiple
of
the
of
the
beat
width,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
make
a
new
test
file
and
try
that
that
should
be
easy,
and
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
would
have
would
be
solved
if
we
integrated
Cobbs,
so
that'll
be
coming
up
soon.
I
think
Cobbs
is
supposed
to
isolate
the
test
from
the
dma
process
and
that
maybe
the
solution
for
this
in
the
in
the
end.
A
Gave
this
problem
that
we
all
face:
okay,
yeah,
let's,
let's
tackle
that
today,
let's
take
every
advice
and
and
test
it
and
then
and
go
ahead
and
and
maybe
I
know
that
we
talked
about
maybe
testing
the
Cobbs
at
a
at
an
intermediate
level
like
with
swatas
axi
stuff.
You
know
to
to
go
from
our
test
bench,
which
is
a
fairly
low
level
test
bench,
really
simple
test
bench
to
prove
that
the
Cobb's
decoder
works.
A
But
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
worked
with
somebody
else's
implementation
of
axi
there,
someone
else's
understanding
if
I
axi
works,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
do
any
dumb
things
with
it.
But
maybe
we
should
just
go
ahead
and
skip
over
that
and
try
go
ahead
and
try
it
I,
don't
know
how
wise
that
is,
but.
A
A
So
it's
what
we
did
yesterday
was
reboot
everything,
so
we
shut
down
the
VMS
brought
brought
them
back
up.
You
know
refreshed
everything
and
it's
it's
remarkable.
A
How
you
know
when
you,
when
you
reboot
a
complicated
system
it
it
actually
doesn't
just
come
right
back
up,
so
it
was
it's
good
to
do
that
to
clear
clear
that
stuff
out
makes
it
makes
it
much
more,
responsive
and,
and
all
so
that
was
that
was
yesterday,
was
just
getting
back
to
where
we
were
before
traveling
for
the
FCC
tax
meeting.
C
C
So
I
don't
hurt
myself,
so
I
want
to
have
to
turn
down
all
the
VMS
and
everything
for
a
little
while
so
that'll
mean
any
lingering
processes
that
people
have
lying
around
I
will
have
to
either
brutally
kill
them
or
or
spend
some
time
coordinating
with
people
to
get
them
shut
down.
C
C
No,
it
can
happen
anytime
when
the
Sun
is
up.
I
just
need
to
swap
out
some
light
switches
and
stuff
like
that.
It's
it'll
be
quick,
but
I
don't
have
a
specific
time.
A
Okay,
yeah:
let's
schedule
it,
maybe
during
U.S
time,
so
that
we
have
minimal
impact
on
everybody
else.
A
All
right,
awesome,
hey
all
right,
I,
think
the
the
last
person
to
to
give
a
report.
It
might
be
Rick.
F
I
was
complaining
last
time
Benedictine
before
that
I
was
having
difficulty
over
here
with
my
zinc
Zed
board,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
problems
that
I
think
some
people
might
be
interested
in
the
solutions.
F
I
was
finally
able
to
repair
the
board.
I
told
you
I
in
the
move,
a
major
part
ripped
off
and
pulled
off
a
bunch
of
traces
and
pads
and
I
I
fixed
all
of
that
three
days
of
painful
effort,
but
I
I
got
to
the
point
where
I
could
plug
the
SD
card
in
and
boot
Linux.
The
way
it
originally
was
shipped
and
that
was
good
and
I
started.
Plugging
cables
in
like
the
USB,
serial,
cable
and
I
can
tell
that
in,
and
that
was
good.
So
life
was
good.
F
So
I
also
learned
that
this
bypass
is
really
just
a
beefed
up,
SDK
and
so
I
was
able
to
reset
my
mind
easier
than
I
had
anticipated.
So
I
began
going
through
some
of
the
programming
examples
which,
for
the
newer
development
environment
on
the
digital
link
site,
and
they
are
horribly
flawed.
F
They
have
all
these
screenshot
pictures
that
are
not
consistent
with
the
words
really
a
mess,
but
that's
okay,
because
I
learned
a
lot
going
through
that
and
what
I
learned
was
I
could
not
program
that
they,
this
headboard
at
all
through
the
onboard
USB
to
fddi
converter
I,
began
working
with
an
another
silence
experienced
person,
the
one
who
you
sent
the
invite
to,
and
we
could
not
come
up
with
any
solution
to
this,
but
what
we
did,
what
he
he
suggested,
I
look
at
the
schematics
and
I
did,
and
the
page
and
the
schematics
on
the
said
board
that
has
the
onboard
programming
interface
is
blanked
out.
A
F
F
F
To
use
it,
no,
no,
no!
You
just
have
to
realize
when
you
look
at
your
device
manager
or
event,
it's
not
fpvi
on
that
show,
but
if
you
plug
in
the
the
to
the
programming
part,
it
is.
B
F
Ftdi
chip,
they
use
two
different
chip:
two
different
manufacturers
for
the
two
different
serial
ports.
That's
not
item
one
item:
two
is:
if
you
made
the
mistake,
like
I,
did
of
upgrading
to
Windows
11,
it
comes
with
a
new
ftdi
driver
that
is
not
on
the
ftdi
website.
F
and
the
newest
ftdi
driver,
the
ftvi
site
is
2021.,
so,
but
so
finally,
in
a
bit
of
I,
don't
know
what
I
downloaded
the
2021
driver
from
ftdi
had
forced
it
in
the
device
manager
to
accept
that
for
that
serial
port
and
everything
works
perfectly
so
now,
I'm
up
and
running
100
the
windows,
20
or
Windows
11
driver
will
not
work
with
that
programming.
Port.
F
That's
item
one
item:
two
is
in
the
middle
of
all
that
I
bought
a
official
xylex
programmer
module
the
little
red
guy
and
with
the
parallel
or
a
ribbon,
cable
and
I
had
plugged
that
in
and
it
instantly
worked
drivers.
Everything
perfect
right,
just
what
you
would
expect
from
Silence
no
issues
whatsoever.
F
F
A
Yeah
you're,
your
experience
is
not
unique
and
we
have
nothing
but
empathy.
A
F
A
Very
good
yeah,
we'll
so
we'll
we'll
you
everybody.
If
you're,
if
you're,
not
on
slack,
then
then
let
me
know
and
and
we
will
will
be
active
there
over
the
the
winter
holiday.
We
will
resume
meetings
like
this
on
the
10th
of
January,
and
but
there
will
be
plenty
going
on
over
the
holiday,
so
we'll
just
take
a
take
a
break
from
from
the
regular
meetings.
A
If
you
need
access
to
remote
Labs,
if
you're
interested
in
that
then
get
in
touch
we'll
help
you
out
and
we're
looking
forward
to
a
really
wonderful
2023,
we've
got
lots
to
do
and
exciting
things
stuff
will
be
published
articles
coming
out.
We
deeply
appreciate
all
of
your
time
effort,
expertise
and
attention.
A
Fpga
work
and
digital
Communications
is
really
hard
stuff,
as
you've
just
heard.
Just
getting
started
can
be,
can
be
daunting,
not
a
whole
lot
of
documentation.
A
You
know,
but
if
you're
just
persistent
and
consistent
and
keep
keep
at
it,
then
it
it
will
eventually
fall
to
your
to
your
efforts.
So
so,
thank
you.
Everybody
we'll
we'll
close
close
the
meeting
here
and
see
you
on
slack
and
if
you're
you're
traveling
or
have
things
that
you're
doing
over
the
holiday,
then
very
best
wishes
to
to
everybody.
