| 01:06.29 | w|zzy | wpwrak: Ive used the broadcom WICED platform. |
| 01:06.41 | w|zzy | Hardest part was getting a dev board in AU |
| 01:12.11 | *** join/#qi-hardware wolfspraul (~wolfsprau@221.217.222.132) |
| 02:10.45 | wpwrak | w|zzy: and how was the experience ? which module did you use ? |
| 02:12.00 | w|zzy | BCMUSI11 : USI 43362-based WICED+ Module (STM32F205 MCU, 8Mbit serial flash) mounted on BCM9WCD1MFI1 |
| 02:12.21 | w|zzy | Thats the platform i am using. One of the early dev boards.. |
| 02:13.26 | w|zzy | Its a very easy build environment. The provide everything needed to compiler/upload (and also the source and instructions if you want to compile yourself) so that there are no issues with the build env |
| 02:13.32 | w|zzy | Code is pretty neat and easy to follow. |
| 02:13.42 | w|zzy | Plenty of neat little examples. |
| 02:13.52 | wpwrak | i have an USI board with a WM-N-BM-08. i think it should be very similar to your board then. |
| 02:14.21 | wpwrak | (neat code) that sounds encouraging :) |
| 02:14.33 | w|zzy | You haven't got the SDK yet? |
| 02:16.09 | wpwrak | i have it but haven't done anything with it besides having a very quick look. tried to build something for my board but of course the build didn't even accept my configuration. |
| 02:17.53 | w|zzy | The SDK is up to 2.3.1 |
| 02:18.11 | w|zzy | I dislike how they authorise access to the SDK.. Its cookie based or something silly. |
| 02:18.17 | w|zzy | anyway thats not important. |
| 02:18.21 | w|zzy | build system is pretty easy |
| 02:18.32 | w|zzy | 1sbrb |
| 02:20.35 | w|zzy | make demo.temp_control-BCMUSI11 download run |
| 02:21.02 | w|zzy | So.. it looks in the Apps folder for the demo folder, then the temp_control folder |
| 02:21.11 | w|zzy | and compiles for a BCMUSI11 board |
| 02:21.15 | w|zzy | then download and run |
| 02:22.10 | wpwrak | i have version 2.3.0. doesn't like that command |
| 02:22.14 | w|zzy | hardest part is working out which board you have. |
| 02:22.53 | wpwrak | oh wait ... now i see it. it's ./make, not "make". argh. |
| 02:23.45 | w|zzy | you have to use make from inside the folder. |
| 02:26.37 | wpwrak | my board ought to be BCM9WCDUSI09 |
| 02:28.04 | wpwrak | (if it's any of them at all) |
| 02:28.43 | w|zzy | I should note that my wifes cousin developed half of the SDK. |
| 02:28.51 | w|zzy | if you have any queries i can ask. |
| 02:29.39 | w|zzy | you can just try |
| 02:29.48 | w|zzy | the platforms are in the readme file |
| 02:30.10 | wpwrak | seems to work ;) |
| 02:30.15 | w|zzy | The appliance demo is pretty good. |
| 02:30.24 | wpwrak | now ..to see what it's doing ... |
| 02:30.44 | w|zzy | Indeed. You can specify which rtos to use.. or go raw... |
| 02:31.02 | wpwrak | seems that it defaults to ThreadX |
| 02:31.04 | w|zzy | they bought ThreadX and NetX for people to use with their wireless platform. |
| 02:31.08 | w|zzy | Yeah. |
| 02:32.02 | w|zzy | I should say they bought a license to cover the use of ThreadX and NetX.. |
| 02:32.32 | wpwrak | the less closed the better :) so i'll try my luck with freertos. |
| 02:33.27 | w|zzy | how to change that is specified in the makefile |
| 02:33.36 | wpwrak | but first i need to see if i can get a serial console. i suppose it reports things there ? |
| 02:33.39 | w|zzy | Its a fairly nice build system |
| 02:33.42 | w|zzy | Yeah |
| 02:33.47 | w|zzy | 115200 8N1 |
| 02:33.59 | wpwrak | yeah, i just have to build the right magic config string |
| 02:34.51 | w|zzy | snip/config_mode is pretty cool. |
| 02:34.53 | wpwrak | i found the instructions once, i'll find them again :) |
| 02:36.36 | w|zzy | make demo.temp_control-BCMUSI11-FreeRTOS-LwIP download run |
| 02:37.33 | w|zzy | Also.... Everything gets built in the SDK/build directory. |
| 02:39.47 | w|zzy | Also.. There is an image for the wireless chip itself that is store in the chip rom.. It is possible to load that into an eeprom or such. |
| 02:40.01 | wpwrak | kewl. wlan scan is running. picks up half the city even without an antenna ;-)) |
| 02:40.19 | w|zzy | :) |
| 02:40.29 | w|zzy | Any ideas what you will use it for? |
| 02:40.36 | w|zzy | Does your board have the current IC? |
| 02:41.05 | wpwrak | what's the current IC ? |
| 02:41.21 | wpwrak | the plan is to use this for a wpan-wlan gateway |
| 02:45.07 | wpwrak | demo.temp_control doesn't seem to do anything |
| 02:45.48 | wpwrak | or maybe it doesn't like freertos |
| 02:46.17 | wpwrak | let's try config_mode |
| 02:47.03 | wpwrak | ah, pilot error :) |
| 02:47.09 | w|zzy | you have the serial port happening? |
| 02:47.35 | wpwrak | i had copied your config string without changing it to my board :) |
| 02:47.40 | w|zzy | btw cosm doesn't exist any more.. so it won't work.. |
| 02:47.59 | w|zzy | compile appliance... |
| 02:49.48 | w|zzy | Its more interesting. |
| 02:49.57 | w|zzy | xively replaced cosm... |
| 02:58.19 | w|zzy | also.. the downside of the current license is you can't publish our share it... I know the developers are pushing to make it more accessible. |
| 03:02.19 | wpwrak | yeah, the license is very bad |
| 03:03.30 | wpwrak | hmm, running snip.config_mode but it doens't let me associate |
| 03:06.09 | wpwrak | ah, now |
| 03:07.51 | *** join/#qi-hardware unclouded (~neil@2001:4428:200:80fc:e091:73fe:db4a:8c8d) |
| 03:10.21 | w|zzy | :-) |
| 03:13.56 | wpwrak | kewl. the critter works :) |
| 03:15.28 | wpwrak | apparently, the 43362 is a simplified 4330. so perhaps one could get the linux driver to talk to it. |
| 03:16.25 | w|zzy | perhaps... |
| 03:16.31 | w|zzy | not my domain |
| 03:18.40 | wpwrak | but very much mine :) |
| 03:22.31 | w|zzy | if you do let me know.. they could hook it in with the picture |
| 03:22.39 | w|zzy | pi |
| 05:19.08 | w|zzy | All figured out wpwrak ? |
| 05:33.58 | wpwrak | all i had hoped for, at least for today :) thanks a lot ! |
| 05:35.38 | wpwrak | i think the next step will be to map the i/os. USI call them just "GPIO_n", "SPI", etc., without mentioning which of the many units of the same kind this refers to |
| 05:35.57 | wpwrak | maybe it's somewhere in the sources. at least the U(S)ART should be. |
