Fred's firmware development diary

[Fred]

Shameless begging: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2260 Help me fix my existing toys and/or buy some new toys.

A couple of hardware updates:

New section for young designs that haven't matured yet and have little/no adoption: viewforum.php?f=77

Other new sections will spring up and I'll do some sort of index to help organise all of the projects, all in good time.

TODO list updated, most stuff nailed, can build a pretty sweet on/off non-XGATE board now, only tricky things left: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1233&p=35789#p35789

Congratulations, Jeff! She lives! :-)

I won't be pushing any major updates to the firmware until some other things have been taken care of. The worst of these have been outstanding for more than four months. Only one has successfully ended up here in proper form, so far, though that should change soon. Once those things are sorted and finalised, I'll finish off the new RPM code and push it up for general testing and use. I also won't be pushing anymore firmware code at all until Sean tests the dev branch on his LT1 Camaro and gets me an EMStudio log of it. Make it happen, Sean, it's just you now, all other variants are tested OK. Then I'll consider that code adequately tested for general consumption and migrate it to the master branch. There's currently far too big of a gap between them... that's got to change! Ball is your court, my friend!

2.5 months on, and I'm starting to get pissed off about this. How about you users and/or fans of FreeEMS? Not pissed off yet? Perhaps you should be! No commits out of me (pushed) for 2.5 months and no testing on the LT1 for 2.5 years. I'm NOT going to push anything more until he tests that car with vanilla code.

If this goes on much longer I might replace the forum with a simple page with Sean's email address and a message saying to thank him, and fuck off to the beach to relax. What's the point? If your right-hand-man can't do the bare basics and fire up his engine, what's the point at all? Not much IMO.

3.5 months with no commits pushed. The LT1 still hasn't run. It has moved inside, and Abe did send back the hardware he had. No progress from our usual slacker since then. FUCKING disappointing.

Speaking this afternoon in Warsaw, Poland. If you're in the area, PM me for details and I'll tell you how to find the place. Video for everyone else later :-)

[Fred]

Done! It went really well, too! Hope to be able to link you a video of the talk pretty soon :-)
