        I hope the machine is up to the job. I'd pack at least 64 gigs of RAM and a nice GPU.

      Not just to show the logo, but to run the entire machine. Probably IoT enabled, so monitoring and maintenance actions and OTA are important enough that it’s worth having a very slim version of Linux on there instead of taking the security risk of building up from a lower level.

    • ByteJunk@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’ve never seen one of these, but I assume it performs other functions - surely monitoring sensors, probably reporting that data, maybe allowing triggering maintenance functions, etc.

      That said, processing and storage is so cheap on this scale that it’s probably better (and cheaper) to go with a tried and true, widely supported system, than it is to optimize with custom hardware/firmware.

    • zalgotext@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I feel like that isn’t that far fetched, considering this machine probably has some sort of Internet connectivity so you can update the labels remotely and do other remote maintenance/monitoring tasks.

  • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Is it just me who feels that having one processing unit per display is a waste?

    I mean, I get it why they did it (it’s way easier to just have one SBC per-display, both on the hardware and the software sides), but if designing such a system I would still try to come up with a single board solution if only because waste gets on my nerves.

      My local gas station now has screens on the pump. Not the big unit, but the part you put in your gastank. It shows shitty ads. Also in the Netherlands you can’t lock the gas pump, so you have to manually press it to get more fuel, so you are almost forced to watch shitty ads.

      It’s exactly like this team-bhp.com/…/ads-fuel-dispenser-nozzle-havent-s…

      I’d argue that a custom board is more wasteful since they are single use. Using a cheapo COTS processor that drives a single display and runs Linux is reusable in the long run.

      source
      • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        True, such a low number of production units design would really only make sense if you could find an off the shelf solution to drive multiple displays.

        If these displays are not supposed to be animated and they’re reasonably low resolution (say, 800x600 20bit RGB or less), they could be connected via SPI and pretty much every microcontroller out there has multiple SPI ports, so even a cheap SBC would work for that). However I expect that getting XWindows or Wayland in Linux to work with such displays would be a PITA.

        I’ve only ever got software running under Linux to control a tiny 2-tone display via I2C - on an Orange Pi SBC - and it’s totally its own thing which happens to be running under Linux sending low-level commands via the I2C dev and not at all integrated with X-Windows or Wayland. This would also work fine if the comms was via SPI (in fact the code barelly changes since I’m using a library that does most of the low-level work for me).

        To just display a static image or a sequence of static images loaded from storage in a bunch of screens low-resolution enough to support SPI (so 800x600 or less) I expect something like that would be fine.

        The more I think about it, there more I expect this thing could run on a single $50 SBC as long as the connector exposes at least an SPI device and 8 independent I/O lines (given how SPI works, shared SPI bus is fine with one separate Chip Select line for each screen as long as the SPI device under Linux can run on a mode that lets your code control the CS line itself, and the other 4 I/O lines are for touch detection) assuming touch position is irrelevant.

    This implies every drink and its display is handled by its own computer running linux. Potentially mtndew has a different IP than coca cola. You need to ssh to this thing multiple times to do maintenance!

        Kernel panic indeed. 3mg is quite a bit of 'cid, and amphetamines tend to make trips pointy and bad. Tequila might balance it out tho. Lime sorbet for the ice cream maybe?

      The flash memory the OS is stored on is borked.

      Filesystem check shows dependency errors attempting to check ext4 fs on /dev/mmcblk0p2. Assuming ext4 and fsck are installed (it should be if this isn’t a mega-custom ultra stripped down private distribution) this shouldn’t be possible.

      Further down networking fails to initialize leading to a bunch of fails before it succeeds and reaches its target, only to be stopped by the dependency errors again.
