Currently the session is not live due to some technical problem on the

Re: [riot-devel] RIOT rtos compatibility question

2015-05-24 Thread Ludwig Ortmann
Hi,

Short answer: no.
Long answer: RIOT is focused on microcontrollers and low power. Therefore it 
probably also has no support for most of the remaining hardware of a system 
that can host a 10gb network controller.

Cheers,
Ludwig

Re: [riot-devel] NSTF - Naming the stack

Hi!

 what about `ipc_stack` due to its utilization of the former? But
still: I'm
 still not convinced of the reason to give it a name. All operating
systems
 have a default stack but no one is bound to use it and can use their
 `ultra` stack etc. (in Linux e.g. as a library). The naming of uIP is
 mainly historic, since it started out as a seperate project. As far
as I
 know TinyOS' stack has no name either.

Contiki has uIP and RIME, TinyOS has BLIP if I remember correctly. We
have
ccn-lite, OpenWSN, and this one.

Isn't ccn-lite using the lower layer(s) (MAC, LLC, driver - correct me if I'm 
wrong) of the old stack and should be upgraded to use the lower layer(s) of the 
new stack? (What about OpenWSN?) Or are those layers not considered part of the 
stack?

I think we cannot compare to Linux,
BSD, and
the like here. They can afford to make different modules somehow
interoperable
at cost of memory, we cannot.

As far as I remember, the modularization of the new stack had exactly this as a 
goal.

 What do you think?

Due to its known meaning ng is as bad a name as new or next,

I'm not sure if naming is necessary at all. I think public/shared

 Hi Simon,

 Throughput will be highly dependent upon the RF environment and what 
 transceiver you are using. The M0+ most likely has enough power to do

 it under ideal conditions, but retransmissions due to collisions will

 limit the effective bandwidth.

 You can use 900 mhz and 2.4 ghz transceivers with 15.4. ~900 is 
 significantly less crowded but lower theoretical bandwidth. The Atmel

 212B is 900 Mhz and specs 1000 kbps as the max air data rate.

unachieved work on bigger project, or reduced but well tested and

Do you have examples related to radio communication? No shell related

Yes compiler do not optimize (remove out) empty function defined as is
suggested.
But if RIOT does not want use macros, we can define empty function as
static inline function in header and then will be removed by
optimization.

log_api.h

#if MODULE_LOG
void log_info(...);
#else
static inline void log_info(...) {}

BTW. Hauke idea use modules is nice.

I can try to talk about this topic with a cypress representative today.
We are currently at the embedded world and they are too. They seemed

BTW: As far as I understood it, their software can create object files

Hi All,

 

I was (still) busy to read mails about LGPL compliance so sorry for
slience.


As you know, I have initially ported RIOT to PsoC 5LP processor by
creating
a PsoC Creator IDE Projects. 

 

In my case:

1.   This port not using the default RIOT build environment and
PsoC
Creator IDE hides linking and other details. 

2.   PsoC Creator IDE also creates automatically some source
codes.
I
have created an empty project with a small HW design under
dist/PsoCCreator
directory. But when you build project in PsoC Creator IDE, It is going
to
create a lot of files; system initialization, APIs for HW blocks which
created for RIOT etc. I was not planning to commit those files to GIT
repository because they are already created automatically by IDE. 

3.   Auto-generated files may be changed (e.g bug fixing) by the
version
of PSOC Creator IDE. So, md5 sums may be different for different
versions of
PsoC Creator IDE.  

 

On the other hand, I can also implemented required files instead of
auto-generated PsoC Creator files, and use RIOT build system. But HEX
files
of PsoC processors also includes HW desing code (verilog) addition to
firmware output(elf, hex etc.). I dont know how PsoC Creator IDE
merges
Firmware code and HW design code into a single HEX file and I am not
sure
about PSOC Creator team share this information with me. 

It is the hard way and also I dont prefer to use this way. Because, in
this
way, we can not use advantages(ARM Core + Programmable DigitalAnalog
Blocks) of PsoC processors which only available by PsoC Creator IDE. 

 

So, What is the latest decision? 

Should I withdraw my pull request for PsoC 5LP port? 

 

Regards. 

 

Murat.

 There are no technical reasons against using LGPLed RIOT to develop

  it depends on how you define technical reasons. Yes, it is not
impossible to create separate object files. But you maybe don't want
to
do
this for technical optimization (see for example

 Using a weird compiler that cannot output the required object
files


 because it is closed source and proprietary is purely political.
That


 compiler could be changed trivially *if it would be open source* or 

 the vendor was inclined to do so. This doesn't count as technical 

 reason.

 

  I agree with Oleg's comment on this.

 

 And btw, if a compiler can be changed trivially depends on details
I
suppose.

 

 For me the sentence RIOT allows LGPL + proprietary source code


  at the same level of comfort compared to Linux sounds like a
cheap


  marketing slogan making clear that the persons are not aware of
the


  IoT diversity.

 Saying otherwise makes clear that the persons are not aware of the 

 troubles embedded linux companies go through when developing 

 proprietary devices using (L)GPLed linux + libraries.

 

  Both systems address different types of devices.

 

 From a professional point of view, I would not base strategic

 What profession would that be?

Re: [riot-devel] replace printf, puts issue

2015-02-22 Thread Ludwig Ortmann
Hi Jozef,

AFAIK there has been no work on a solution so far.
However, I thought about this the other day in the context of the function 
pointer discussion and would like to propose a logging API (maybe there is an 
issue for that as well somewhere) for `core`, which offers things like 
`log.info(...)` and `log.error(...)`.
Different logging modules can implement this API then, ranging from `printf` 
over file based logging to network messages.
And then there should also be a `(void) ...`  implementation which suits 
production and ultra low memory needs.

Opinions?

 I think we should come up with a method that enables inclusion of multiple

A possible removal of auto_init is a separate concern from my point of

 We could have something like

 Not sure if we're entering a world of pain this way. ;)

Call me bourgeois, but I would rather use macros than generating C

Re: [riot-devel] Why RIOT is partner of Ubuntu? (technical cosequences?)

2015-01-26 Thread Ludwig Ortmann
Hi Jan,

Your fears are entirely ungrounded :)

First of all, there are no concrete plans or even arrangements as of now.
From our point of view, RIOT lacks human interfaces (among other things), and 
if Ubuntu snappy apps turn out to be a fitting front end, we will probably 
support it, but not exclusively.

Second, as far add I know Ubuntu is criticized primarily for reasons that have 
to do with decision making.
RIOT aims to be a proper open source project, so I'm not afraid of Canonical 
taking over the reins or something like that.

We (the core developers) are also in contact/affiliation with several other 
entities (companies and institutes) that have interests in RIOT or which are 
already using/financing/shaping development. (This means the influence of 
financially involved parties is distributed and it will most likely stay this 
way.)
In this regard: we are currently in the process of creating a legal entity (a 
German Verein) with the goal of catering to both, RIOT's free software and 
financial needs.

Cheers, Ludwig

Hi,

does anyone know if it's possible to flash this board faster in
principal?

 Hey everyone, 
 
 I’ve been playing around with the Samr21 xpro and flashing
 the device is _really_ slow, i.e. 0.481 KiB/s. Is this expected
 or is there a way to improve it? I’m using the current OpenOCD
 Git HEAD because the 0.8.0 release does not seem to contain the
 configs for the board yet. I tried to flash the hello-world
 example.

Re: [riot-devel] Suggested new platform for RIOT: calling for volunteers

2014-12-24 Thread Ludwig Ortmann
Hi Kevin,

cheap starter kit is relative, but the MCU sound interesting indeed!
Presumably I won't have any time to port, but I'd be happy to help with 
reviewing ;)

In case anyone is interested in actually porting this and only held back by the 
investment, I'm confident a sponsored starter kit can be arranged.

Jolly seasons greetings everyone!

kevin.rous...@inria.fr:
Hello everyone,

Since RIOT has been adapted to the AVR architecture, there is a chip 
that--I think--would be a great platform for development and
production: 
the ATmega 256RFR2.

The RFR2 family is presented here:
 http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATMEGA256RFR2.aspx
but to sum it up, this MCU has the following advantages:
- the well-known, low-power AVR 8-bit architecture
- an integrated 802.15.4 transceiver, quite similar to the AT86RF231
- 256 Kb or Flash and, even better, 32 Kb of RAM (a huge amount for an 
8-bit MCU!)
- a complete set of integrated peripherals: the usual timers, PWM,
UART, 
SPI, I2C, ADC, JTAG... as well as a some less common, very nice
features 
like a true random number generator or a 32-bit symbol counter
- it is available in a cheap starter kit board that is in itself a 
simple but functional mote with MCU, antenna socket, temperature
sensor, 
and extension slots (see
http://www.atmel.com/tools/ATMEGA256RFR2-XSTK.aspx)

As such, it seems to make an ideal platform for future motes, and I 
think it is bound to be quite successful in the market.

That's why I plan to make an extensive use of this device as soon as 
possible.

As usual, I will start the port and try to have it up and running as 
fast as I can, but since I am now in the last year of my PhD, my time 
schedule is now really tight.
Consequently, it will be extremely hard for me to push the porting 
effort further that the bare minimum (CPU and transceiver). It means 
that my code probably won't represent a clean, production-ready port 
by itself.

Since running RIOT on this platform would benefit everyone in the 
community, it would be nice if I could receive help in this task; 
knowing that I will most likely be the first to use it, and as such 
feedback on the port is guaranteed.

Thanks in advance, and best regards.

  I am afraid that such memory is only for data and will not be accessible
  via the program counter.
 
 True, but since RIOT's program is written to the Flash ROM, there would be
 no need for the IP to access those addresses. So the real question is: how
 big is the Flash ROM, and how much memory does the .text part of RIOT
 consume on 8-bit platforms. For our hello-world application this is 8524
 bytes on the Arduino Mega 2560, for the somewhat more sophisticated default
 application it's ~15 KiB (without any network support). @Sudarshan is that
 remotely in the flash sizes of the Arduino Uno?

http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardUno says:
32 KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5 KB used by bootloader

About the original question:
I don't think adding RAM via SPI makes any sense in order to work
around the memory limitations imposed by RIOT's code.
The way it works is that you need to actively store/load data to/from
the external RAM. So you would have to rewrite code that needs more
memory to work on smaller chunks and take care of loading/storing them
in between steps. Such a change would most likely not be incorporated
into RIOT.
Now, one could think about swapping entire threads, but this would
make thread switches very very slow (no acceptable realtime behavior
anymore). Also, this would probably require changes in several other
places like the messaging code. These changes would most likely not be
incorporated into RIOT either.

But the most important question is: What do you want to do with it?
If you just want to drive I/O and don't need a shell, I guess this
could work. What will definitely not work with this little memory is
RIOT's network stack.

 If you sell (L)GPLed source code, that code *must* be under (L)GPL, so the
 first buyer can freely distribute it (under those libraries terms).
 
 So practically you can sell that code only once.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the BSDs say:


Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this
   list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

This means that if you sell BSD licensed source code to someone, they
can freely distribute it just like they could with LGPL'd code.
The BSD licenses do not allow you to change the license (sublicense) [1].
