An Emotional Touch

Halley’s, one of the renowned comets among the personnel working at the edge of dimensions, has got reasons for its reputation. It is that it’ll appear once in 76 years, which’s the period it takes to complete one elliptical orbit with the Sun as one of the foci of the ellipse. The dusty atmosphere in the comet’s crust experiences very great sensitivity for gravitation which’s explicit from its long extra-traditional tail that distinguishes it from the rest; the majesticity of its look is romantically awesome! It has been said in the West that any person who missed the comet in his life, is considered to be unlucky and his soul would find no way to Heaven.

I’m a Saviour for those souls and I have things for their deliverance. Yes, it is true, I’m alluding to the recently released , Vaaranam Aayiram, Gautham Vasudev Menon’s alltime best. The way the movie portrays how one should father his son and how one should son his father is extraordinarily extraordinary and I find it has no substitute. I have learnt the audacity and hallowed perception that everyone should have in their life while expressing emotions and while articulating inner feelings, depressional tones, virtually real words of mind and ultimately what they call it -”Love”.  Wow! What a performance!! My applauds for Surya who fantastically had done his job – as a lovable,lovely, romantic father -as a handsome, calmful, lustless, playful lover  – as an emotional, sensational and a persuading son. Great man! The screenplay in the first 12 decades had been exceptional.

My next move is the Songs! No way! No way for screening such verses in such a way!!

Please, I feel itz gonna be a big movie and I would like to suggest this one for everyone in every sort of life and in every sort of age,for it has got lessons to teach

-What is Life?

-What’s the ultimate accomplishments of one’s life?

-What’s one destined to do in his life?

These lessons are available nowhere except a few theaters where the movie is screened.

I realized an overall emotional touch in the movie when Surya cried out on the phone for what happended just then, and his father on the opposite end giving the receiver to his wife, not able to withstand his son’s words and the mother who only heard Surya shedding out cries with tears.

Live the situation, Love the emotion!!

Beagle Experiments

For more comprehensive look into the combined world of Beagle+open source, see to the provided here:

http://blog.fosstronics.com/2008/10/21/beagleboard-experiments/

There’s an example of a DSP node for the dsp-bridge:
http://github.com/felipec/dsp-dummy

It’s simply sending buffers back and forth.

There are instructions about how to get all the tools, compile, and
run it at:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto#Developing

Also,the GStreamer/OpenMAX IL specific stuff is at:
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/gst-openmax

This is not following TI’s documentation, which I find overly
complicated. There are a few tricks to avoid the usage of extra tools,
headers, and messy dependencies, which actually don’t seem to work
anyway.

Enjoy!

Reliable libbridge

Use this version of libbridge:
http://omapzoom.org/gf/download/frsrelease/117/724/dspbridge_mpu_api.tar.gz

The IRQ -33 is a different issue and a kernel patch is available to
workaround it:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=122349732218782&w=2

Many have realised this to be a reliable patch.

DSP Binaries

You must have seen the elinux DSP How to at

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto

But the readymade binaries are at

http://people.freedesktop.org/~felipec/beagle/beagle-gstreamer-dsp.tar.bz2

except the DSP nodes, which you need to download, install
and accept the license agreement yourself.

These binaries work with systems compiled with latest images from
codesourcery (arm-2007q3), just put them on /opt and do the following:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gst/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gst/lib:/opt/omx/lib
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/gst/lib/gstreamer-0.10

Also the kernel stuff:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~felipec/beagle/bridgedriver.ko

http://people.freedesktop.org/~felipec/beagle/linux-2.6.27-rc7-omap1-05018-g43

The following gst-omapfb element is used to render YUV data
efficiently on the beagle:

Enjoy!

Exams

Finally the traditional imposters again started frightening me in the name of “exams”. Yes, my fifth semester exams have set in. I hate these exams; I hate writing exams in the hopeless exam halls;i hate books.

Please dont mistake me. I’m not a rude and tasteless person to miss the cornettos of the life- writing and reading books. I love them indeed;in my past, i’ve realised that these two things are my sole companions in times of distress. So what made me to comment on the contrary in the former lines is the hopeless, meaningless, relationless and the the most antiquated nature of the contents in my college books. Yes, I hate this traditional nature of Indian educational activity which I think is also the presumable cause for the lack of all needed expertise in India. Yet I’m not a bad fan of Indians; I’m not a good fan of this tradition instead.

What one’s destined to do in his/her life? A good education…..then a good job to afford the basic needs and a good work in the firm of our interest. And ultimately by doing this good work upto one’s abilities is the only way of finding satisfaction in life- in my vision. So why not let us get started with our interests ourselves? Why these exams intrude us when we are on our own roads? I think this will pursue unabated untill any good Samaritan comes and regulates Indian traffic….

TMSC64X DSP

I’ve started looking for the high-end multimedia processer +C64X in the beagle.

The processors needs

(1)a linux based DSP compiler

(2)a DSP bridge

(3)kernel driver and other tools

They are collectively repo’ed at the following link:

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto

I doubt if we use the compiler for linux separately for DSP, whether JTAG is needed or not…Also the demo version of CCS is not supporting JTAG and other emulation tools.

Varanam Aayiram

“Mundhinam Paarthene….Paarthathum thotraene….

Salladaikkannaalae ….Nenjamum punnaanathae…

Ithanai naazhaga…unnai naan paaramal….

Engu than poneno…Naatkalum veenanathae……..

……………………………………………………………………….”

……all of the absurd happenings around me got trapped into a “Non-maskable interrupt” on the last Friday and my mind took a beeline to the Interrupt service routine;the emerging verses from the Radio Mirchi started ruling me further…..What a splendid tone from a human voicebox…..I doubted  they might have gotten that thing from the rarest of the Voice Synthesizers from somewhere beyond…..Yes he’s a human voice synthesizer, calmness in eyes, clarity in voice, and no calamity in his pose. “A sweet man” murmured my lips without my intrusion…Naresh Iyer, a rarest of the singers now the Cine industry is having..,I enjoyed the song, each verse went deep in me and how…how can i say the majesticity of his voice with my words here……

Please those who didnt listen to that song…listen now….or you are about to miss a big thing in your life…
