04:22 <sb0> KOWLOON BAY DEPOT, Shipment delayed in transit Recovery actions underway

04:23 <sb0> TNT is really fucked

04:23 <sb0> it's been a week already, most of it having been spent giving the boards a little tour of europe around their various depots, and now this

04:24 <sb0> why is Greg using TNT? Fedex can do 3-day intercontinental shipping to HK without any problem

04:33 <sb0> what, there's a dress code at NACTI?

04:33 <sb0> it's also funny they remind you not to bring a gun :)

04:46 <GitHub45> [artiq] sbourdeauducq commented on issue #800: In the likely event that there is a problem with ftdi_eeprom other than getting an EEPROM binary, I suggest simply using the official Windows tool. ftdi_eeprom/libftdi usually has very puzzling behavior if we're not doing something that everyone else is already doing, due to the abundant FTDI silicon bugs and quirks. https://github.com/m-labs/artiq/issues/800#issuecomment-320140044

08:55 <rjo> sb0: you can still bring your guns to the panel. that's fine.

10:27 <Ishan_Bansal> Anyone how can we store negative values in the signals, as per the documentation we have to use signal(integer,boolean) but when I am using the same it gives me an error saying "TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object".

10:28 <Ishan_Bansal> sb0 : ping

10:30 <sb0> full code please

10:35 <Ishan_Bansal> code is : https://pastebin.com/M8MXC61c

10:35 <Ishan_Bansal> error is :https://pastebin.com/ZCcpMqmT

10:39 <Ishan_Bansal> sb0, if you can give me the link of any code with Signal with negative numbers that is also great.

10:40 <sb0> Ishan_Bansal, minimal repro please

10:40 <sb0> anyway I believe your problem is you should write data_temp_signed = Signal((12,1))

10:40 <sb0> (12, True), even

10:41 <sb0> instead of single parentheses

10:50 <Ishan_Bansal> that works :)

15:03 <sb0> whitequark, ping

15:07 <whitequark> sb0: pong

15:09 <sb0> whitequark, those smoltcp bugs area . can you

15:09 <sb0> whitequark, those smoltcp bugs are a major problem. can you please fix them rapidly?

15:10 <sb0> also, can you be in hk to set up the sayma cards? TNT are messing up and I might not be able to touch them at all before I depart for NACTI.

15:19 <whitequark> exactly when do you need me to be in hk?

15:19 <whitequark> 12th?

15:19 <whitequark> do I need any sort of document to accept the parcel?

15:29 <sb0> I'm departing on the 12th; but as for when the parcel arrives (if it arrives at all) I don't know. you don't need to be there to receive it, just to set it up (connect jtag, sfps, etc.) then hopefully do some work on them after smoltcp is fixed

15:36 <sb0> last time they called me, they seemed confused about what flight it was put on ...

15:42 <whitequark> ok, tell me when it arrives and i'll try to take a flight to HK within 1-2 days

16:08 <GitHub38> sinara/master 95f221d Robert Jordens: more photos of sayma amc/rtm front/back rev1.0

16:34 <sb0> rjo, have you noticed that some smp connectors on sayma (e.g. J39, J38) are mounted at a strange angle?

16:34 <sb0> this doesn't look right ...

16:39 <rjo> sb0: greg moved those by hand. they don't align with the mezzanines.
