Gr on Linux?
by Frans-Pieter Vonck 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi Wojtek and Fyodor, I'm testing Blackbox for Linux. Fyodor's Info21 is running fine! Now I would like to use BB to put some data in a graph. Do you have tested Gr already on Linux? I saw that the comm subsystem is ported to linux. The idea is to use an arduino as a datalogger and BB for presenting a graph on a desktop. Greets, Frans-Pieter Vonck BTW With Mike Spivey's Oxford Oberon you can open a serial port like this: f := Files.Open('/dev/ttyACM0','w'); Files.WriteString(f, "hello"); Files.Flush(f); > Fyodor: > >> Could you give me a hint at what this FPGA Oberon >> has in it for experimental physics, if anything? > > Oberon System can become a light-weight embedded board controller for setting up various details of the board operation.

Fyodor: > Could you give me a hint at what this FPGA Oberon > has in it for experimental physics, if anything? Oberon System can become a light-weight embedded board controller for setting up various details of the board operation. Basically, a microcontroller. The particular GUI is less important in this instance. It is ok for this purpose. > I may add that I've been looking into your Gr > in regard of a thing my experimental colleagues asked me to help them > with. Gr is still being used here in Rochester. How are things going at your end? Regards, Wojtek

Dear Wojtek, Could you give me a hint at what this FPGA Oberon has in it for experimental physics, if anything? I may add that I've been looking into your Gr in regard of a thing my experimental colleagues asked me to help them with. I wonder if all this comes together somehow. Many thanks in advance and best regards, Fyodor Powered by the E-mail PIM - Info Select - www.miclog.com

FPGA Oberon System running in Rochester, NY

Dear All: please add Rochester, NY to the list of places where the FPGA Oberon System is running. We bought the Digilent S3 Starter Kit on Ebay to get started. The installation of the Paul's files went smoothly. A good start! Many thanks to Paul for the great starting point! Wojtek

Looks like we have a Spartan6 development board available commercially soon!! Take a look at this post from the GadgetFactory: http://forum.gadgetfactory.net/index.php?/topic/2132-project-oberon-on-papi… 'Mkarlson' has made an SRAM daughterboard or "wing" for the Pipistrello and has Project Oberon up and running...with pictures!.Take a look. Congratulations to Professor Wirth on Lola-2. That is spectacular! Best regards, Bill

Onyl one comment: GENIAL / INGENIOUS Prof Wirth should has earned a Turing chain not only the Turing ring! A blame for Berkelys Chisel, LOLA-2 is not so different but has only 3% fat.

New Oberon-oriented mailing list in Russian
by Oleg N. Cher 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Dear Oberoners, I am also very grateful to all of you, it was great - to communicate here and solve various issues. Special thanks to Oberon Microsystems for all their work. Do not blame me, I also like to take this mailing list to arrange a small survey. I'm interested in a new mail list on BlackBox in English, of course, but main interest for me is a mailing list on Oberon at all in Russian language. Do we need a Russian-language Oberon mailing list? Write me e-mail, if your answer "yes". 1. It should be all Oberon topics list oriented, or BlackBox only? 2. What a service provider do we need to use? [ ] Yahoo group [ ] Google Group [ ] other (write one) Thank you very much for your attention! -- Oleg N. Cher VEDAsoft Oberon Club http://zx.oberon2.ru

BlackBox Status: 15-Nov-2014
by Douglas G. Danforth 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

BlackBox Status: 15-Nov-2014 I see that we have been remiss about keeping the BlackBox and Oberon communities informed about the status of BlackBox. We have done a lot of work putting together a "tool chain" that automates the process of generating BlackBox releases. The tool chain is running on a server in Switzerland hosted by EDIS. We are also using GIT and REDMINE. There are two Forums running on the server. One is for the Community. The other is for voting members of the Center. I am the current Chair of the Center (until Jan 2015). The chair serves for 6 months and then a new Chair is chosen. There are currently 11 voting members of the Center. If you wish to make decisions about technical issues concerning BlackBox then send me and email, danforth(a)greenwoodfarm.com, and we will consider your request for joining the center. Oleg's concern about Russian language is being addressed. We are extending Component Pascal identifies to 16 bit Unicode which will support most of the world's languages including Cyrillic. Helmut Zinn has done a masterful job at collecting together bugs reported by OberonCore and implementing them in his version of BlackBox. We are in the process of verifying his code and weaving those changes into the next official release of BlackBox. I hope this gives you a better sense of what is happening with regard to the support, development, and future of BlackBox/Component Pascal. Best regards, Doug Danforth
