The main discussion of the meeting revolved around the progress made over the past week, with Abraxas3d leading the discussion and Aaron reporting on his recovery and updates. The team also discussed ongoing issues with the lab setup, the addition of a power detector circuit behind the AGC, moving from real to complex modulation, and the upcoming upgrade to Unraid, a new major revision of the host operating system for Remote Labs.
Next steps
• Matthew to investigate and resolve timing or potential math errors causing data errors when transmitting between two SDRs.
• Matthew to integrate the power detector circuit and complex IQ modulation into the HDL codebase on GitHub.
• Ken to provide screenshots and updates on the FPGA Development Stations progress using the Yocto method by next week.
• Abraxas3d to assist Ken in finishing the FPGA Development Stations work and investigate the No-OS (no operating system) method for both Neptune and Opulent Voice stations, and the Balister Yocto method for Opulent Voice station.
• Paul to plan and execute the upgrade of the remote lab server to Unraid 7.0, including assessing risks and determining the transition process.
• Paul to rethink and improve the backup strategy for the remote lab.
• Paul to announce the upcoming Unraid upgrade on Slack and coordinate downtime.
• Team to test the new Unraid 7.0 setup once Paul provides instructions.
