Description
Good news - a proof of concept for the DVB-S2 encoder is working. A major component of the FPGA design for the downlink has been validated.
Format is:
1) What did you do this week?
2) What are you going to do next week?
3) Roadblocks?
4) Need any resources?
A
A
Hello,
everyone
welcome
to
today's
stand-up
meeting
at
open
research
institute,
we're
going
to
talk
about
what
we
did
over
the
past
week,
what
we
have
planned
over
the
next
week
and
if
we
need
any
resources
for
what
we're
doing
and
if
we've
experienced
any
roadblocks,
we've
had
some
significant
steps
forward
and
some
progress
over
the
past
week.
So
I
am
going
to
pass
it
to
evariste.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
okay,
so
today
was
the
good
today
or
yesterday
can't
remember
the
successful
of
the
receiving
the
the
dvb
encoder.
B
So
shuto
has
done
some
modification
this
week
and
gave
me
the
design
and
I
included
in
the
firmware
of
the
pluto
and
right
now
we
don't
have
any
error
and
we
can
decode
all
the
transport
streams.
So
we
have
a
proof
of
concept
which
is
which
is
a
validation
of
all
the
components
in
the
fpga
and
running
on
the
prito.
So
it's
very
good
news.
B
And
then
we
need
to
well
to
as
we
are
in
a
debug
step.
We
have
to
set
all
the
parameters
back
and
yeah,
but
it's
very
happy
that
it
works
right
now
and
it
works
even
at
15
mega
symbol.
A
A
Please
let
me
know
if
you
need
any
additional
resources
or
if
you
have
any
roadblocks
that
you
don't
know
how
to
handle
on
on
your
own
and
that
that's
my
job,
that's
what
I'm
I'm
here
to
help
with.
Okay,
so
leonard,
you
have
the
floor.
C
Sorry
about
that
was
on
mute,
mainly.
I
haven't
really
made
a
whole
lot
of
progress
other
than
getting
new
radio
up
and
running
on
both
the
windows
platform
and
then
also
with
wsl.
C
So
I
was
able
to
generate
the
artifacts
in
wsl
and
also
in
the
windows
platform
using
the
gui.
Basically,
you
can
only
you
know
you
set
it
up
once
and
and
then
you
generate
and
that's
one
data
set
with
andre.
We
went
through
using
pycharm
as
the
ide
and
slash
debugger
and
we
were
able
to
get
it
to
run
through
there.
C
There
was
a
an
issue
where,
if
the
couple
of
the
pi
files
run.pi
and
also
the
other
one
main
script,
that
it
generates
the
diagram
with,
if
they
have
both
carriage
returns
and
new
lines,
then
it
will
kind
of
come
up
with
a
failure
or
you
know
it
won't
go
through
the
run.
C
So
if
you
save
the
file
as
a
like
in
notepad
plus
plus,
you
can
save
it
as
unix
or
or
mac
or
whatever,
and
then
it'll
only
have
the
line
return
without
the
carriage
return
and
then
that'll
go
through
and
generate
the
whole
script.
C
I
believe
it
was
xming
just
a
x11
server
and
I
tried
it
with
a
x
win
server
for
some
reason
that
didn't
work
but
x
ming
did
work,
something
that
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous
there
is
that
they
want
you
to
open
up.
You
know
ports
and
ip
addresses
and
kind
of
to
the
public.
C
So
I
I
need
to
kind
of
go
down
there.
I
just
don't
wanna,
I
wanna
have
those
ports
locked
down
to
make
sure
hacking
attempts
don't
come
in
on
those
ports.
C
The
other
thing
I
was
doing
was
kind
of
creating
a
let's
say,
a
vivado
ip
library
where,
where
the
core
itself
is,
you
can
just
you
know,
have
it
associated
with
an
ip
repository
like
a
library
like
just
like
the
the
vivado
standard
stuff
is,
but
it's
a
user
based
version,
and
then
you
can
just
select
it
and
drag
it
down
and
put
it
into
a
block
diagram.
You
know
not
associated
with
a
dvd.
C
You
know
repository
the
way
it
is
now
so
as
it
so.
I've
been
kind
of
successful
with
that
there's
a
couple
of
issues
with
a
tickle
words
generating
this
stuff
in
the
wrong
directory,
but
for
the
most
part,
that's
in
progress
and
pseudo
kind
of
working
depending
on
how
you
look
at
it
anyways.
That's
all.
I've
done
really.
A
C
Yeah
yeah,
so
you
have
a
user
ip
catalog
that
you
use
I've
segmented
out
the
kind
of
the
source
files
and
used
ip
packager
to
to
do
that
and
then
generate
a
tickle
file
that
will
rebuild.
C
You
know
the
pro
the
project
and
all
that
so
so
that
when
we
chuck
it
in
to
get
the
you
don't
have
to
check
in
all
the
artifacts
and
stuff
like
that.
A
Oh,
thank
you.
That's
that's
very
useful
and
appreciated
work.
All
right.
Do
you
need
anything
or
do
you
have
any
roadblocks
that
you're
you're,
not
capable
of
you,
know
demolishing
yourself.
C
No,
I
mean
I'm
I'm
plugging
along
slowly,
but
surely
the
the
main
issue
is
you,
you
know
you're
dealing
with.
You
know
several
level
a
couple
different
levels
of
open
source
stuff.
That's
has
various
levels
of
documentation
and
the
analog
devices
you
know
is
not
really
in
sync
with
gnu
radios.
So
I
I've
been
also
trying
to
get
the
pluto
to
work
with
gnu
radio
been
having
a
little
bit
of
problem
there
and
you
know
certainly
in
the
windows
based
version,
but
it
looks
like
it
with
x-ming.
C
A
Oh
sounds
good
all
right,
so
thank
you.
That's
excellent
progress
and
looking
forward
to
to
seeing
this
become
part
of
the
catalog.
That
would
be
a
huge
step
forward.
A
D
Okay,
we
do
have
some
progress.
Your
report
this
week
with
your
help
and
encouragement
michelle.
We
have
installed
the
deck
tech
boards
into
the
into
computers
in
remote
lab
and
able
to
actually
send
and
receive
dbb
s2
video
using
impact
transport
streams
on
those
boards.
These
are
professional
level,
laboratory
boards
really
not
intended
for
for
use
by
consumers
or
anything
like
that
for
testing,
and
it's
very
timely
that
we
will
do
that
in
time
to
validate
bbbx2
streams
that
are
being
generated.
D
That
board
is
installed
in
aperture,
which
is
the
windows
machine
we've
had
since,
before
the
the
main
machine
was
installed
on
the
remote
lab
and
the
other
board
is
a
dta2132
which
is
a
receiver
board
specialized,
3db,
s2
and
s2x,
and
it's
able
to
handle
full
rate
data
streams
up
to
like
70
megabits
or
mega
symbols,
maybe
not
quite
that
high,
but
plenty
high
for
us
with
almost
no
cpu
load.
D
D
Both
of
these
things
are
intended
for
video
broadcast
applications
primarily,
and
they
have
some
restrictions
on
what
they
can
do.
They.
They
really
only
understand
mpeg
transport
streams.
D
In
addition
to
these
very
fancy,
you
know
user
interface,
programs
that
are
nice
to
work
with
there's
a
software
development
toolkit
which
works
on
linux
as
well
as
on
windows.
Excuse
me-
and
we
had
not
yet
begun
to
explore
these,
but
hopefully
they'll
be
able
to
use.
I
use
these
with
gse
get
a
little
closer
to
our
exact
needs.
D
The
original
plan
was
to
install
the
receiver
board,
the
dta
2132
and
its
corresponding
software
stream
expert
in
in
chalk
in
the
windows
vm
there,
which
we
call
chunk
wind
10.,
and
that
was
done
and
it
worked,
but
we
couldn't
tell
that
it
was
working,
because
we
were
a
little
confused
about
some
things.
D
D
The
actual
problem
we
were
having
was
debugged
with
a
great
assistance
from
from
every
and
mainly
from
from
ron
ws6rz
on
slack
a
few
nights
ago,
and
so
that
I
was
leaving
it
in
hello
kitai
until
we
were
able
to
get
that
problem
solved,
because
we
might
need
to
go
to
for
tech
support
and
if
you
say
you're
in
a
vm,
everybody
can
say:
well,
okay,
it's
a
vm,
so
you
better
get
out
of
there
before
we
try
to
give
you
any
tech
support.
D
D
D
The
helicopter
is
not
currently
remotable
from
the
remote
lab,
but
that's
easy
to
set
up
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
I
don't
have
any
any
blockers
at
the
moment
on
the
remote
lab.
As
far
as
I
know
back
to
you.
A
Thank
you,
yeah.
It's
it's
good
progress
and
excellent
to
see
like
paul
explained,
having
sort
of
a
commercial
known,
good
or
golden
hardware
to
both
handle,
receive
and
and
transmit
gives
us
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
terms
of
verification
and
validation,
which
is
very
important
to
us
on
the
project.
E
A
E
You
yeah
sorry,
never
mind,
so
I
yeah
we
were
going
around
the
loop
trying
to
get
the
thing
working,
so
we
found
out.
There
was
some
integration
issues
and
some
adjustments
we
had
to
do
but
everest.
I
think
yes,
not
yesterday,
the
day
before
hit,
I
think
he
tried
with
the
smaller
chunks,
smaller
transfers
and
that
that
eventually
worked.
E
So
I
I
I
have
some
changes
I
did
to
the
repository
to
that.
I
I
want
to
push
into
the
to
the
main
branch
and
I
I
basically
removed
the
the
the
polyphase
filter
from
the
encoder
in
by
the
I
plan
to
have
sort
of
a
test
of
both
together,
but
is
because
I
think
the
polyphase
filter
is
the
one
we
have
is
big.
As
india
uses
a
lot
of
resources,
so
the
filter
might
be
might
need
to
be
independently
adjusted.
E
And
that's
about
it
really,
I
think
every
is
the
person
who
has
the
setup.
I
think
you
might
be
able
to
comment
more.
B
Well,
I
usually
use
a
fear
filter,
which
is
a
very
lighter,
and
it's
already
have
40
or
45
db.
B
Without
any
shoulder,
so
it's
it's
good
enough
compared
to
the
polyphase
filter
and
well
for
the
analog
device
design
the
there
is
on
the
ad
1933.
B
There
is
already
a
fear
filter
inside
here
we
use
the
the
the
fair
filter
in
the
fpga,
which
is
more
portable,
which
means
that
we
can
integrate
it
in
the
well
in
the
ip,
which
could
be
very,
very
good
solution
to
have
an
ip
well
for
user
perspective,
to.
B
As
leonard
say,
integrate
directly
on
vivado,
so
it
could
be
use
the
fear
filter
from
that.
The
last
thing
is
yeah.
B
The
design
from
sewato
is
working,
but
I
have
still
some
locking
and
unlocking
and
I
try
to
send
a
little
block
instead
of
big
block
of
dma
and
try
also
to
to
set
the
size
of
a
bb
frame
or
a
multiple
of
bb
frame
which
could
maybe
corrupt
the
fpv
fpga
design.
Well,
that's
some
investigation.
We
have
to
do,
but
we
have
the
main
concept.
B
So
it's
very
good-
and
I
just
wait
for
suratu-
to
give
me
his
design
to
compare
with
mine,
because
I
don't
understand
what
the
problem
or
maybe,
because
I
think
sureto
you.
You
search
some
timing
issue
on
the
original
design
of
the
analog
device,
which
could
maybe.
E
Yeah,
I
can
yeah
the
timing.
Issues
were
on
the
receive
path.
It's
kind,
I'm
just
thinking
how
to
best
share
that,
as
in
I
can
compress
the
design
I
have
and
send
because
it
changes
on
the
on
the
analog
devices
stuff.
It's
just
that
the
not
the
dark
that
adcdma
and
there
is
some
constraints
issues.
B
Okay,
so
the
same
as
we
did
with
the
tx
path
right.
D
E
B
Yeah,
okay,
so
just
pack
and
I
I
will
try
to
analyze
it,
it's
the
easiest
easiest
way
right
now.
I
think.
B
That
again,
yeah
just
just
make
a
tower
of
your
project
and
I
could
import
yeah
on
vivaldo
and
it's.
It
would
be
perfect.
B
A
It's
deeply
appreciated
and
I'll
do
all
that
I
can
to
to
make
sure
that
everybody
hears
about
it
and
that
we
get
lots
of
people
knowing
about
it
so
that
they
can
can
use
it
and
then
we'll
go
from
there
really
looking
forward
to
the
next
time
we
get
to
demonstrate
over
the
air
because
it
sounds
like
we
will
have
something:
that's
working
over
the
air
okay,
so
we
have
some
people
here
that
might
have
some
comments
or
questions
go
ahead
douglas
you
have
the
floor.
E
A
Oh,
thank
you.
Yeah.
The
feedback
really
helps
it's
sort
of
like
the
only
pay
you
get
right
is
the
appreciation
and
feedback
comment
and
critique,
and
eventual
use
so
yeah
we're
targeting
having
this
working
over
the
air
in
a
demo
in
august
at
defcon,
and
we
will
keep
working
on
that.
I
have
a
brief
report,
been
continuing
with
matlab
hdl
coder
and
there
is
a
webinar
coming
up
tomorrow
from
matlab
that
talks
about
how
to
use
matlab
products
for
space
communications.
A
So
this
matlab
work
will
then
be
fed
into
hdl
coder,
and
then
it
will
eventually
be
tried
out
as
hdl
in
remote
labs,
with
the
goal
of
incorporating
it
into
the
ip
to
this
tries
out
several
things
you
know,
tries
out
the
the
tool
flow
progress
from
matlab
to
hdl
coder
to
fpga
bitstream,
and
we
are
also
looking
at
and
have
documented
some
some
discussions
and
some
work.
A
Some
action
items
to
try
to
what
we're
doing
is
taking
the
vhf
uhf,
relatively
narrow
band
protocol
m17
protocol,
and
what
do
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
make
it
a
a
wider
band
or
higher
bit
rate
uplink
protocol
for
our
particular
transponder?
A
So
that's
the
things
that
have
been
going
on
over
the
past
week
and
the
plans
will
continue
over
the
the
next
week.
So
progress
has
been.
Progress
has
been
good
on
that
front
too.
All
right,
thank
you.
Everybody
I'll
open
the
floor
for
any
last
comments
or
requests
or
anything
that
you
need.
