01:22 <set_> I know I may cause some frustrations. Can anyone you know or you study while listening to gangsta rap?

01:23 <set_> I am in the am335x TRM and listening to Gucci Mane. Impossible.

02:08 <korenje> hello

02:09 <korenje> I see beaglebone project is still alive. That's good.

02:10 <korenje> I hope new beaglebone black will be made with better hardware and exactly the same pin layout/functions

02:12 <korenje> and in the future with fpga chip onboard :)

02:13 <zmatt> fpga sounds highly implausible

02:14 <zmatt> and you'll never have "exactly the same pin layout/functions" if you switch to a different SoC

02:22 <zmatt> though TI's new cortex-a53 based AM625x SoC is highly backwards compatible with the AM335x in terms of peripherals and connectivity and appears to be positioned to be its successor

02:30 <korenje> everything is possible

02:31 <korenje> just needs the same ammount of pins

02:32 <korenje> if my beablegone stops working, my house stops working :)

02:32 <zmatt> uhm what, no, different pins have different functions

02:32 <zmatt> unless you only ever use them in gpio mode

02:33 <korenje> I made a board with optocouplers long ago.

02:34 <korenje> would be shame if I had to make a new one with the new board.

02:34 <korenje> anyway if fpga was put on the board it would make it basically industrial PLC.

02:35 <korenje> imagine plc with the size of a credit card

02:35 <zmatt> why do you need an FPGA for that?

02:36 <korenje> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000448620399.html

02:37 <korenje> FPGA is highly programmable. basically you can do anything. meaning non-blocking communication

02:37 <zmatt> that doesn't answer the question... a PLC is normally just microcontroller-based, using an fpga sounds like an unsual design choice

02:38 <korenje> no, basically all PLC have fpga inside which are programmed with "ladder logic"

02:40 <zmatt> that's how it's programmed, it doesn't imply an fpga is used at all

02:41 <zmatt> that "ladder logic" can, and as far as I understand typically is, still just evaluated by software

02:41 <zmatt> on a cpu

02:42 <korenje> ladder logic is for fpga based cpus. and industial PLCs need to have fpga chip for reliability.

02:42 <zmatt> what does using an fpga have to do with reliability?

02:43 <korenje> if you have 100 inputs how can you register input signal from all 100 inputs in 1 period?

02:43 <korenje> yeah you can't without fpga.

02:44 <korenje> in sequential processing it would take 100 clock periods at least

02:44 <korenje> or cycles

07:29 <ankur> Hi,  Actually u-boot and kernel source code are available. But primary boot loader i.e. firmware source code is not identifiable ? Can anybody help me by sharing the source of same ? For complete boot analysis , it is highly desirable.
