8051 has a dedicated memory space for booleans, but it's small
<whitequark[cis]>
and it has a shorter instruction encoding
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> ahh, interesting
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> I'm itching to look at #357, but i think it's too late for me now... and I was going to see about looking at #362 quickly... any others you want me to see?
<whitequark[cis]>
(instruction encoding, etc) there is a regretfully significant amount of bytes that can be saved this way
<whitequark[cis]>
that's it for you
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> ok, ty
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> and thanks for all these PRs! well done 🙂
<d1b2>
<darius0949> the 8051 does have some weird stuff in it
Darius has joined #glasgow
<whitequark[cis]>
some?
<whitequark[cis]>
it's practically made out of weird stuff
<whitequark[cis]>
kinda sucks for anyone who isn't a 8051 expert tbh
<whitequark[cis]>
good thing we don't really support or encourage custom firmware
<Darius>
heh yeah

<Darius>
it definitely feels like something from another age and design philosophy
<whitequark[cis]>
well, it is
<whitequark[cis]>
though even by the standards of that age it's slightly unhinged
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> did / should the LED selftest firmware have bumped the API level?
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> i've noticed some lockups, that I suspect are related to that PR
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> trying to pin it down now
redstarcomrade has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<whitequark[cis]>
it's just test functionality that's not usable in a normal flow, which made me decide to not bump it
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> ok
<whitequark[cis]>
(you can't disable LED test mode other than by reset)
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> typically, i can't reproduce it now
<d1b2>
<attiegrande> yeah, i saw that... imo that's fine

<adi_8649> my Glasgow shipping date was silently moved from July 31th to Feb 29th yay leap year
<d1b2>
<adi_8649> how many of these have you shipped ?
<d1b2>
<adi_8649> "As with our other campaigns, we will be honest about any issues or delays that we run into and provide updates explaining how we are addressing them. "
<galibert[m]>
They’re working on the update
<d1b2>
<adi_8649> not sure why I really expected they shipped it
<d1b2>
<adi_8649> so any Mouser BOM available? I think I might DIMyself
<d1b2>
<adi_8649> at least can they notify us when they ship a batch and what is the current waitlist?
<d1b2>
<holonium> Glad to see a new update. Looks like I am in the February 2024 grouping.
<d1b2>
<esden> My goal is to start shipping a few hundred glasgows a month right after the early birds go out. So some of the Feb folks might get their units earlier than others.
<d1b2>
<esden> In my mind Feb is meant to be the "last batch" if I can make it happen... but wish me that GG production goes smoothly ... 🥶
<d1b2>
<holonium> Been on the list since June 12, 2021. What is a few months of difference with that. And I absolutely don't blame you for any of this. Tried to assemble 2 boards in COVID, and had challenges personally. Assembling thousands of pieces is a whole different scale, and you have done a good job in my opinion.
<d1b2>
<esden> @holonium We are making progress, that is the important thing. 🙂
<d1b2>
<esden> I hope folks will start feeling bit better as soon as units start arriving on their desks. 🙂
<d1b2>
<holonium> I am really looking forward to being able to add it to my toolkit, but with the Bitmagic I have, I can fulfill most of my needs until then. Just seeing updates and knowing that you are a reputable group makes me happy enough.

<holonium> Have you considered something like leaving an assembly run streaming for a batch, or streaming the process of getting things packed up and ready.
<d1b2>
<vegard_e> that's the sort of streams I'd watch 🙂
<d1b2>
<holonium> Yep, and I feel that would be pretty popular with the community.
<d1b2>
<holonium> Side note, probably going to see if I can spin up some sort of adapter board so that I can add debug ports for this to a future board...
chipb has joined #glasgow
<d1b2>
<esden> heh... that does sound like a good thing to stream... it is not a bad idea, even if it is just streaming using my phone
<d1b2>
<esden> I can take you all for a ride and show you some assembly
<d1b2>
<esden> I will try to make that happen. 🙂
<d1b2>
<holonium> Would definitely watch it if it didn't conflict with another event, and even then, I would be sure to get it as a VOD...
