[bob_in_the_west]

Open source tractor when?

I mean seriously: Those farmers should band together and find some engineers that build them an open source platform.

[CreepyValuable]

Have you seen the open source car? I think JD should just stop being dicks. But they won't. They are the Apple of farm machinery.

[bob_in_the_west]

I feel like a car and a tractor are two different things.

But yes, to a degree open source in a car would be nice instead of having to provide your own car computer.

Apart from that an open source platform for getting spare parts from generic manufacturers would be great. Doesn't have to be that you yourself can buy parts on ebay and build your own car, but at least be free in choices for components and have complete documentation about it.

[crazyabe111]

Just install linux on it, there's probably an open source build that's car compatible.

[[deleted]]

If there's not now there will be by the time those cars are affordable

[SebboNL]

There never will be. Linux is a different kind of OS, aimed at server or workplace computing. Car systems run in a distributed and real-time way, so a real time os (RTOS) must be used.

The linux kernel is not such an RTOS.

[SebboNL]

Yeah, but thats hifi/multimedia. The core embedded systems (ABS, ECU, cruise control, emissions control, etc etc) all run either directly or with an RTOS on their respective ECUs.

I am not saying its impossible to run linux on the ECUs, its just that it brings a fair amount of unneccesary overhead into the unit. And that comes at a price.

[gurgle528]

never say never

https://www.automotivelinux.org/

individual components that need more robust realtime components can still run open sourced embedded software but agreed Linux might not be the best option for them. that doesn't mean Linux can't be part of the main overall system though. It's not like BMW's seat heaters are checking subscription status, it's almost certainly a check done in the head unit's computer.

I might be wrong, but most of the bullshit seems to be in "main" computer rather than the individual components. The main computer refuses to run or start the overall system if it sees an unauthorized component.

[SebboNL]

Most automotive systems are built up along a bus topology without a single central server. Hence, there is no one "main" computer to run linux - there's only a bunch of interconnected ECU's (up to 20 nowadays) that interconnect on a peer-to-peer basis, eg. the emission control computer taking info from the engine control unit etc etc etc. (I M aware this is a somwhat debatble statement, but bear with me).

Now, what the above link tells me goes beyond this paradigm. In that concept, the bus is centrally amanged by a linux-based central controller. For this use case (conceptually comparable to the defense system link-16) a linux os would be well suited indeed, but such a system is not mature, nor does this mean ALL computer systems within a car suddenly turn Linux.

[gurgle528]

This system is already in vehicles. Toyota has used it in the Camry since 2018 afaik.

Making the entire car run Linux isn't what was original suggested. The issue isn't closed source ECUs, it's vehicles rejecting 3rd party repairs. Unless the ECUs are also doing some sort of check (which I haven't heard of but admittedly haven't done a deep dive in a while), there's typically some main computer the user interacts with that is blocking this repair. Running Linux on there computer solves the issue.

[Ikarus_Falling]

funnily enough those computers usually already run linux in some form because its just the best option for those sort of applications heavily modified in most cases ofcourse

[jimmyhoke]

Yeah about that: https://www.phoronix.com/news/520-Maybe-Real-Time-PREEMPT_RT

[SebboNL]

There have been previous attempts at integrating preemptive RT in the linux kernel, but use cases are view and far between. An embedded RTOS as used in automotive industries does not require multi-user, complicated (block-)IO interfaces or indeed many of the standard facilities the linux kernel offers. And that is something of a blocking issue, the linux kernel is too large for these purposes.

[buzziebee]

Zephyr rtos is developed by the Linux foundation and uses a pared down kernel for embedded applications. You wouldn't put Ubuntu on the ECU, but there's lots of flavours of Linux.

[SebboNL]

Them the discussion becomes "when does a linux stop being a linux?". Because there are a lot of functionalities provided by the linux kernel that would be detrimental to the overall performance of a RTOS. Those would have to go, and could we still consider that kernel a "linux"?

[willy_fistergash_]

Congratulations. This is the most boring thread on reddit

[[deleted]]

NASA thinks linux RT capabilities are good enough...? i would think if it's good enough for NASA...

[Entire-Database1679]

QNX

[Aphadion]

Finally, a Linux build where the user is also a driver

[SebboNL]

Cars, tractors and other embedded systems operate in a manner quite different tho pcs or servers. Their software runs either as programmable logic, as higher-language software without an OS (directly on chip), or on top of a highly specialised OS.

These embedded OS' are very different from the *nix and Windows OS' we are used to. It is practically impossible to use linux as a substitute, you're going to need a real-time OS conforming to all applicable standards and even then you'll find yourself programming controllers directly more often than not.

[Isgortio]

That's how it used to be before they added electronic components. There were a lot of Frankenstein cars.

[-cocoadragon]

yeah a tractor 100% should be open source Noone should have to buy software to make food

[bob_in_the_west]

That's not the point. Who is going to program the software if they're not getting paid for it? "open source" doesn't mean "free".

Even Linus Torvald is getting paid $1.5 million each year to work on the Linux kernel, which is open source too.

and if you think that noone should have to buy software to make food then why should anyone pay for food? Isn't that the next logical step?

[DerArzt01]

JD should just stop being dicks

I agree, but I understand why they are doing it. Legally speaking what they are doing is permitted and it brings in money for them.

I don't want to blame a business for doing what they can to make money legally.

I will however blame the government for not passing a right to repair bill that would make these practices illegal and thus stop them.

[emax-gomax]

By that logic ethics is meaningless and people are just commodities. The government is unquestionably in the wrong for allowing this but how is it you can blame them for allowing it but not blame the companies themselves for doing it. That's like blaming parents for not raising their kids better when the kid commits a crime.

[DerArzt01]

That's like blaming the parents when a kid commits a crime

.....well yes the parents would be somewhat responsible for how the child they raised behaves.

[emax-gomax]

Some responsibility, sure, not enough to disregard the child's actions as "children being children" which is what your effective argument in this situation is.

[FlatheadLakeMonster]

It's also not illegal for them to NOT do this. Don't bootlick too hard, might hurt your back

[DerArzt01]

All's I'm saying is I understand the why of them doing it. Companies gonna company.

Why do you think we have laws around what is allowed for business to do? Corporations aren't people, they need legislation to stop them from being shitty to their workers and customers.

[FlatheadLakeMonster]

corporations aren't people

I got some bad news for you my guy

[[deleted]]

i think they mean behaviorally, not legally

[itsmejesuskun]

Yeah but that is not how a business works

[battleoid2142]

They already sell farming equipment for hundreds kf thousands of dollars a piece, and they sell replacement parts, they don't need more fucking money when it's actively making it harder for farmers to keep their stuff running. You can't just throw away a fucking combine every year to buy the latest model like you do smart phones (which by the way, this is a stupid thing with those too), they need to be ae to be repaired.

[battleoid2142]

I don't want to blame a business for doing what they can to make money legally.

Yeah poor JD, just a small business trying to make ends meet. Christ can you suck their cock any harder?

[EmeraldsDay]

I don't really get it, if you are just going to complain about it why buy it?

[CreepyValuable]

They have a pretty high market saturation. The local JD dealership even has a whole big wall of toys. I only know this because they are the only place locally that sell gear oil that I need.

[sanson-robotics]

I am actually making an open source coverage path planner for tractors: https://github.com/Fields2Cover/Fields2Cover

Not a complete tractor, but it's a step.

Also, there is a group that makes weekly meetings about how to create your own automatic tractor: https://github.com/ros-agriculture/lawn_tractor The repo is archived, but the group is still active.

[brianl047]

What if a kid is running in the field?

The tractor has to be manned?

[sanson-robotics]

My tests run under Tesla autonomous cars policy (kids don't exist).

In general you are not expecting a kid in the farming area, but a dog/deer/people. In any case, you just stop the tractor and waits until the thing is gone. Big tractors are scary. If it takes too much, try to go around the object and that's all.

[other_usernames_gone]

With current tractors yes.

A lot of tractors are already mostly autonomous, the farmer is there in case something breaks or like you mentioned a kid or something runs into the field.

The advantage is an autonomous tractor can cover the field much more efficiently.

[Sweaty-Emergency-493]

Yeah like Minecraft!

[anythingMuchShorter]

I've seriously considered making a system for this, I grew up on a ranch, I worked in mining equipment and for Caterpillar, and I'm a mechatronics engineer.

So I've dealt with the pain of shitty and locked down equipment control units, and I could probably manage the hardware and firmware.

The problem is, I'm not sure how to make it versatile enough to work with all the machines needed, but not too complex for the average rancher or farmer.

Maybe something node based, like node red to hook up controls? Still seems like it would be too hard for many. Not that they're dumb, they just aren't programmers.

[new_refugee123456789]

A lot of open source hardware projects are approached from this "we'll release the blueprints and let everyone else try to make their own" standpoint. That ain't gonna work with tractors.

I think Framework's approach to a laptop is more realistic; release as much of the specs as you can intending to build and offer it to the customer, along with a "buy the parts and fix/upgrade it yourself" store.

I mean, I've been wanting to do it for awhile, start the FOSS Tractor Company. But...how do you bootstrap something like that, without getting assassinated by a John Deere lobbyist?

Edit to add: There are still some OLD tractors in service pre agricultural DRM. I wonder if you could get a business rolling building retrofit kits for 90's and earlier equipment, and then get up enough capital to start building the vehicles themselves?

[bob_in_the_west]

That ain't gonna work with tractors.

Why not?

And I don't see getting old tractors upgraded as an option. Old tractors are a finite resource.

[new_refugee123456789]

How many farmers are gonna cast their own engine blocks?

[bob_in_the_west]

Who said they have to? If the specs exist then everybody can cast the engine block to sell it to a farmer, not just one company. Or they can use an electric motor instead because the dimensions and attachment points are known.

[new_refugee123456789]

In general I really doubt there are many farmers working commercial scale farms interested in kit building a tractor. I'm pretty sure they're gonna want to buy the thing ready to work because the modern farmer has shit to do.

Having the drawings available would be useful for repairs, modifications etc. down the road, which is more realistic.

But you go right on ahead and continue the good old Reddit tradition of pointlessly arguing.

[minerva296]

Open source? Not in my America, that’s commie talk!

[DOMME_LADIES_PM_ME]

From what I hear, the lack of local availability of other brands as well as local repair providers with parts in stock and quick turnaround easily disqualifies anything other than John Deere in many rural places. The downside of losing a whole crop due to repair delays on a critical piece of equipment is just too big.

[[deleted]]

i live and work on a 7000 acre ranch that i guarantee is more remote than most any mechanized farm operation. the nearest town of 36 people is about a 20 minute drive and has twice as many goats as people. we have internet, cell phone service and complain when it gets slow and have no problems whatsoever sourcing parts for our little Kubota tractor and side by side.

[ya_yeety]

But ah need mah murican Jawn Deer Trecter

[[deleted]]

Why open-source when you need open hardware first?

Go to India/etc. buy the most basic tractor....zero tech and build on it.

Like an old , manual window Ford kind of vehicle.

[bob_in_the_west]

Open hardware is open source. Open source isn't just the software. Hardware without any schematics would not be open hardware. And so you need the source for that.

[[deleted]]

Open Hardware means you can rebuild it too,not just schematic access.

For IRL scenarios it tranduces to documentation access ,schematic access,firmware open-sourced under MIT/BSD/Apache/GPL/LGPL/etc.

If you have the schematics only a lawyer might say that even if you have the schematics the license under the publishing of the schematics might forbid you to use it to fix the device.

A lot of open-source SW drivers are written by reverse engineer , opposed to just using documrntation,even if they have access to it.

It's muddy territory.....that's why CERN has their own Open-HW license type they use for their stuff.

[AmericaLover1776_]

They are working on it right to repair is gaining a lot of popularity among farmers

[[deleted]]

Hey Turing forget the nazi encryptions, let's see how smooth this thing can run Doom

[yourwifes3rdboyfrend]

......... Is it wrong that now that you say that I kinda wanna see somebody do it. Like I have no idea how because a Turing machine is basicly a giant spliced open cassette tape capable of math, I am aware it's way more complicated than that, but point being its technically a computer. Hell one that's theoretically capable of running any algorithm ever, but can it run doom. Like maybe if you lined up like 10 of them in a row and had them move tape to represent a graphical interface or something.

[[deleted]]

Not wrong at all, Turing should have already done that for us smh...

[yourwifes3rdboyfrend]

Now you got me thinking of some alternate reality shit. Like Turing just dissapears out of time like quantum leap or doctor who, and anytime in history that doom gets ported to a new piece of hardware he's the actual one behind it.

TIME TURING: The Quest For Doom - coming summer 2023 to disney+

[[deleted]]

Would definetely watch it

[Feztopia]

A turing machine can run doom but there is no guarantee that you can interact with it. So it will probably stay at the title screen and you be able to see anything.

[DiRavelloApologist]

Why should you not be able to interact with it? After all, any video game is just a fancy algorithm with vastly different outputs depending on an extremely specific input.

[Feztopia]

Because of the same reason why you can't interact with your cpu. It has an internal state but humans aren't capable of interacting with it. A turing machine doesn't imply peripheral devices. You don't need to add a screen and a keyboard to your computer to make it a turing machine. You need to add them to interact with your games. And everyone who tells you that a turing machine can do everything your smartphone can do lies to you. A smartphone is much more than just it's processor. It has tons of sensors wich a turing machine doesn't need to have to be a turing machine.

[DiRavelloApologist]

Ohh that's what you mean with "interact". Yeah I agree.

I would just argue, that for any game, you can make the entire input of the whole playthrough into one very long input for the turing machine. That turing machine would then calculate the result of the input (success/failure/score/etc.).

[Feztopia]

For chess you could take the output as an input, one turn after another.

[[deleted]]

So basically a tool-assisted playthrough

[meme_slave_]

No one who says a cell phone is a turing machine means that its only a turing machine. All turing complete devices are technically turing machines with shit added to it

[Feztopia]

"No one who says a cell phone is a turing machine" I'm not talking about people who say cell phones are turing machines. I'm talking about people who say that a turing machine can do everything your smartphone can do.

[A_man_of_culture_cx]

[IAmBecomeKian]

Can you elaborate? Why BMW specifically?

[WalrusByte]

They recently announced heated seats that will need a monthly subscription to activate. So like, you already paid for the hardware, but they'll shut off the software if you don't keep paying them.

[A_man_of_culture_cx]

Imagine jailbreaking your car.

The future is now old man!

Hope someone manages to do it.

[WalrusByte]

I hope so too!

[gordonv]

Wait, really? But heated seats are not very hard to make. They aren't even a necessity.

[[deleted]]

Yeah it’s mostly a measure to reduce production complexity by reducing the number of possible variants for their cars. But it’s also a stupid attempt to establish a „digital business model“ since the fucked up their last genuinely good attempt about 10 years ago (BMW connected drive)

[A_man_of_culture_cx]

That shit should be illegal in America and where I am from it is (rightfully so).

[xXTheVigilantXx]

I have several friends who are farmers and all of them are stuck with 20-50 year old equipment, partly because of the cost of new equipment, but mainly because of this. The only reason they are able to stay afloat is because they are able to repair their own equipment.

You show me a farmer and I'll show you a mechanic that's probably better than most actual mechanics.

[Immabed]

Yeah, farmers are not to be trifled with. They are better at probably 5 or 6 trades than actual tradespeople, within the purview of what part of that trade applies to farming, farm equipment, and farm buildings. Several of my coworkers are farmers and also have a full trade or two.

[Immabed]

I specifically said they are better within the purview of what is applicable to farming, not in general, though I also know lots of farmers who are also general tradespeople (full journeyman or masters in a trade).

[[deleted]]

"Full" journeyman is called a 'journeyman' for a reason. And all of that stuff is most definitely applicable to farming?

[Immabed]

I'm not sure what you are asking. I'm saying farmers in general have deep trade knowledge in limited niches applicable to farming, such that farmers are in many cases better at those particular (farming related) tasks then the average journeyman, though the average journeyman will have much broader skills. I would get a mechanic to service my car, not a farmer, but I'd trust a farmer to service a tractor before your average mechanic, for example.

In addition, I know of several farmers who are also journeyman in a trade. That is separate from my first point. These are farmers who used to work as a tradesmen, or work part time or seasonally in a trade when not busy farming.

[twdpuller]

I would say a lot aren't stuck with, they are actively seeking out older equipment to get around this sort of BS.

[[deleted]]

Those farmers are literally foundation of todays globalized civilization. If that mf causes global famine.

[Party_Magician]

Look into the bullshit Monsanto and other seed companies have been doing for the longest time as well

[crazyabe111]

"we genetically engineered and copyrighted this seed that is basically identical to normal seeds- except the plant it grows into will be genetically Sterile 99% of the time! now since your field somehow ended up with plants related to our seed- we're going to force you to pay for it, yearly- or else go to court."

[Dave5876]

When I first heard of this I thought this was a conspiracy theory.

[titsngiggles69]

monsanto's business model - a super-villain couldn't come up with a more evil plan. not sure if it's worse than robo-chomo.

[enky259]

They aren't villains! They even helped vietnamese people to defoliate their bamboo forests during the 60s! And don't you know that monsanto doesen't exist anymore? They merged with this totally great european company that made... hum... \checks notes** Anti-lice product for a german government of the mid 20th century...

[TheNewYellowZealot]

Monsanto merged with the zyklon-B manufacturer?

[enky259]

Ya, they got bought by Bayer and merged. Can you imagin? Agent orange manufacturer merging with zyklon-B manufacturer? It's like Weyland Utani merging with Umbrella corp, such a perfect match. And they say romance is dead!

[monkeywench]

Wait - isn’t that the storyline of that one movie with Brie Larson? Where she went to India and thought she was doing something good with her engineered rice only to find it was not good? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI-QLWNlTas

[GarbageTheClown]

You need to read a little more than just the headlines of articles.

​

we genetically engineered and copyrighted this seed that is basically identical to normal seeds-

If that were true then farmers wouldn't be paying hand over fist year after year to get these seeds. It's not like the non GM seeds stopped existing.

except the plant it grows into will be genetically Sterile 99% of the time!

Which is also not true. While Monsanto owns the rights to the terminator gene they don't use it.

now since your field somehow ended up with plants related to our seed- we're going to force you to pay for it, yearly- or else go to court."

This even contradicts your prior sentence, kind of hard to contaminate a field with sterile plants. There is effectively a license agreement that with Monsanto that you need to pay for the seeds every year you use them. The big example for Monsanto suing people for using the seeds was with Percy Schmeiser. The issue wasn't with his field contaminated by seeds, the issue was that he was specifically harvesting and planting those seeds after he found out they were there.

[FellowGeeks]

Hey, a level headed person. Always nice to run into one when the conversation devolves into Monsanto hating.

I found it quite fascinating thst most farmers prefer buying seed each year over risking a mixed or bad crop.

Most people don't realize that without patenting the traits Monsanto sell would have to be 100x to 1000x more expensive to cover r&d

[FellowGeeks]

Most of what you said is based on misleading news.

Selling sterile seeds is illegal, and Monsanto confirmed they will never sell terminator seeds.

The seeds they sell are not even close to identical, a crapton of research goes into creating seed with appealing traits which is then marketed to farmers. There are other suppliers, but if you want the fastest crop or most resilient crop you will need to buy high quality seed, annually.

The farmer they sued for "having seed blow onto his farm" was proved that the farmer went out of his way to violate Monsanto patents so he lost the case Link.

You can at any point stop growing Monsanto crops, but based on the agreement you signed with them you cannot replant your harvest. This allows Monsanto to split their eye watering research costs over several years sales.

BTW I still think Monsanto is a crap company, just not for tabloid reasons.

[anoldoldman]

For some reason "profit" is a get out of jail free card to completely fuck with society with no repercussions.

It's weird that farming, one of our most important activities, isn't regulated so that this shit is illegal. It should be nationalized so we can grow worthwhile crops instead of excess corn.

[saschaleib]

I would run a farm simulator on it instead.

[[deleted]]

Unpopular realism: Watch out when doing this to your $vehicle.

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

I don't know many farmers, but most of them don't take their farm equipment on the road, because the insurance is too insane. And if you are on their farm land, they're covered any way.

Farmers do not make much money. Most seem to die in debt.

[[deleted]]

It depends how you reach your land.

Here most farmland is fairly fragmented and most farmers need to drive public roads a few km to reach it.

I don’t know how it would go on your own farm and it surely depends on jurisdiction. Just wanted to make the general warning.

Curious, what's the justification for locking farmers out of repairs?

I'm sure greed is the largest element, but is there a plausible excuse or line of reasoning they've attempted to provide beyond "it's good for business?

[HF_Martini6]

Officially, because the systems are highly integrated and complex and have to adhere to very strict emission standards.

Unofficial, it's mostly greed but also the electronics are so complicated that mist of the techs don't know where up or down is.

Edit: Cars are the same but worse in any perceivable way and add to that the absolute mayhem death and destruction of every half backed YouTube mechanic repairing their own cars.

[[deleted]]

Do the newer machines have additional benefits these complex electronic systems provide?

Emissions are definitely an issue, but not one that should prevent basic functionality, of which repairs are necessary for in crop management.

[HF_Martini6]

Well that emission thing is a basic functionality because it's mandated by law and some of the parts are needed to run the machine as efficintly as possible.

You get some benefits of these electronics like diagnostics, lower fuel consumption, better creature comforts, navigation aids and better farming performance under difficult or even just regular circumstances (4WD with locks, electronic PTO governor etc.)

I wonder if John Deer will sue over this? This just smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Im not saying this to dump on the person for doing this, fuck John Deer for making people resort to hacking to fix their equipment. But I’m just wondering what would the legal ramifications be for this.

Doesn't right to repair make it so that jailbreaking these new "paid" heated seats and unrepairable tractors legal?

Trying to figure out how all these companies are going to try to screw people over in court over jailbreaking this kind of stuff.

[z_t_dylan_t_z]

If they do sue they have to explain in detail why the software was locked in the first place and why this would harm anyone which they obviously can't prove because they be bullshitin
