Pekr 5-Oct-2012 [2546] | I have finally recovered after my credit card fraud. I (hopefully) sent 50 EUR, Doc. Please let me know if it arriwes, as for the first time, the last name on my Card contains czech char, and my Paypal profile does not have any. Hopefully it all resolves well ... |
DocKimbel 5-Oct-2012 [2547] | Got it Peter, thank you! |
Pekr 5-Oct-2012 [2548] | Good! :-) |
Kaj 5-Oct-2012 [2549] | Just finally got my Raspberry to work, after running around all week buying additional needed equipment. So maybe I'll have something to talk about tomorrow |
DocKimbel 5-Oct-2012 [2550] | I got it to work also three hours ago (had only a VGA monitor, passive adapters didn't work, I had to find another monitor) |
Kaj 5-Oct-2012 [2551] | Yeah, we bought a new one, too, but also an adapter cable from HDMI to VGA |
DocKimbel 5-Oct-2012 [2552x2] | My USB wifi device works, but the screen resolution is so small that I can see only half of the wifi config window. I can't change the resolution from the preferences, it just errors out saying it doesn't recognize the monitor... |
I'll try to fix it in boot config tomorrow. | |
Kaj 5-Oct-2012 [2554] | Most of the bindings don't work on ARM |
DocKimbel 6-Oct-2012 [2555x2] | Does that concern only bindings that rely on callbacks? |
I will try to fix those bindings issues on ARM once I release v0.3.0 in a few days. | |
Arnold 6-Oct-2012 [2557] | Ah Kaj, could you put up a shopping list of thing to buy too when you buy a RaspberryPi? |
NickA 6-Oct-2012 [2558x3] | RED FUNDING DRIVE, MATCHING FUNDS CHALLENGE: to help ensure that Doc can continue to work on Red without disruption, I'll match funds donated to him by November 1, 2012, up to a total of $1000. |
Kaj, we need to get you funded too. | |
Perhaps some discussion about forming a Red foundation would be helpful to organize anticipated future actitivies involving community relations or other activities that will keep Doc and other core developers from focusing on code. | |
Gregg 6-Oct-2012 [2561] | Yes, the hope is that we can rally support to do the things, like web sites, forum moderation, etc. so core developers (i.e. Doc) can focus on development. |
Kaj 6-Oct-2012 [2562] | Thanks for thinking about me, Nick. I'll refrain from asking for donations until Doc is in a good position, then I'll set up a website for the bindings to give sponsors a chance to influence my priorities |
NickA 6-Oct-2012 [2563] | Thanks for your work and vision Kaj. It's so appreciated! |
Kaj 6-Oct-2012 [2564x4] | Thanks |
Arnold, you want me to give a list of things that you would need to get a Raspberry going? | |
Doc, we're just back from Hardware Freedom Day. My talk turned out mostly about the Raspberry, because little Red was working. I haven't looked into the causes yet. When I've caught up on sleep I'll start sending in bug reports | |
It's quite possible that it's callbacks, but I'm not sure yet | |
Bas 6-Oct-2012 [2568] | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=susYvYoUnUQ |
DocKimbel 7-Oct-2012 [2569x3] | Bas: it says "Video is private", so it can't be seen. |
Nick: thank you very much for this initiative, it certainly helps me keep focused on Red and not have to worry about how to pay my bills next month! I hope others will continue to donate, so Nick won't need to take all the burden on his shoulders. | |
Kaj: I noticed Unicode characters rendering does not work on my Linux ARM running on QEMU. I'm not sure yet why, I'll investigate that in the next days. | |
Bas 7-Oct-2012 [2572] | The video is now accessible |
Arnold 7-Oct-2012 [2573] | after running around all week buying additional needed equipment. that sounds like a shopping list comes in handy when purchasing a RaspberryPi, there are some surprises like needing a VGA monitor where the standard videoout on the Pi is HDMI. |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2574x2] | OK, just checking, not sure what you meant |
You don't need a VGA monitor, to the contrary, it's hard to get a VGA monitor connected, you need an HDMI or DVI monitor | |
Arnold 7-Oct-2012 [2576] | I read your post the other way around. |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2577] | Doc, on BodhiLinux I had full fonts when opening hello.red in an editor, including Chinese |
Arnold 7-Oct-2012 [2578] | Still surprised that you still needed to buy additional stuff to get it working. |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2579x2] | Weren't you running bare Debian? That would probably expect you to install and configure more yourself |
Arnold, the Raspberry is just a motherboard, you'd need a power supply and cables at the least :-) | |
Arnold 7-Oct-2012 [2581] | I know LOL! |
DocKimbel 7-Oct-2012 [2582x2] | Kaj: sorry, I wasn't accurate enough, I was referring to hello.red output when compiled. |
(when run) | |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2584x2] | The adapter cable I talked about from HDMI to VGA turned out not to work. It probably works in the other direction, although I thought that wouldn't be possible |
Doc, I thought that couldn't be because I can't run any Red code on ARM. hello.red crashes hard for me, even taking the terminal program down | |
DocKimbel 7-Oct-2012 [2586] | Does it crash on your RPi? |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2587] | Yes |
DocKimbel 7-Oct-2012 [2588x2] | (I haven't yet had the chance to test on mine) |
Are you running wheezy on it? | |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2590] | Yes, are you running an ARMEL or an ARMHF architecture? |
DocKimbel 7-Oct-2012 [2591x3] | I'm unsure, but as we do support hardware floating points, it should be ARMHF I guess. |
We support the hardfp ABI. IIRC, Andreas reported that it was working on softfp ABI too, but I don't remember exactly, so better wait for him to give the right answer. | |
Anyway, we planned to support more ARM ABI in order to spread on more platforms. | |
Kaj 7-Oct-2012 [2594x2] | Better spread on one platform first :-) |
All I can run is empty.reds, Fibonacci, PeterPaint and SQLite | |
