Aug 04 17:40:08 <ZeekHuge> ! I just had a chat with gregkh ... I AM SERIOUS  !!!!!!
Aug 04 17:40:39 <ds2> he has been a GSoC mentor for BB before
Aug 04 17:40:48 <m_w> lots of people have :)
Aug 04 17:40:50 <ZeekHuge> s/chat/question-answer/g
Aug 04 17:41:15 <ZeekHuge> yeah ! but I too had :) (smiley with a big eyes)
Aug 04 17:41:36 <m_w> how did it go? you figure things out?
Aug 04 17:42:15 <mdp> hehe
Aug 04 17:42:21 <mdp> gregkh is very chatable ;)
Aug 04 17:42:33 <ZeekHuge> Well, that was just a general chat, not specific. But yes, about the APIs. I have a better understanding now, and some structure on paper.
Aug 04 17:42:58 <m_w> good
Aug 04 17:43:15 <ZeekHuge> WOW !!! I had a chat with gregkh !
Aug 04 17:43:17 <ZeekHuge> haha !
Aug 04 17:43:27 <ds2> next up, Mr T. ;)
Aug 04 17:44:05 <m_w> I pity the foo that doesn't mainline his linux kernel drivers!
Aug 04 17:44:17 <ZeekHuge> haha ! hh... should hold myself.
Aug 04 17:44:31 <ZeekHuge> ZeekHuge: Do you work now !
Aug 04 17:44:36 <ZeekHuge> ZeekHuge: okay.
Aug 04 17:44:44 <ZeekHuge> :P
Aug 04 18:19:04 <chanakya_vc> hey bradfa I read your mail. I am really sorry for the delay in commits. I will  update the code asap.
Aug 04 18:20:25 <chanakya_vc> Also regarding the tasks regarding the multi-byte transfer that you have asked me to do, I have thought that maybe I could expand the driver for a 16 or 32 bit transfer? bradfa ?
Aug 04 18:22:32 <chanakya_vc> Maybe store the bits in a 32 bit variable and then transfer data to the firmware 8 bytes at a time? That way I wouldn't have to modify the firmware a lot.
Aug 04 18:22:48 <chanakya_vc> 8 bits
Aug 04 18:29:30 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: word size and multi word/byte transfers are different things
Aug 04 18:29:52 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: I had thought you were going to have the equivalent of a FIFO for MISO and MOSI, no?
Aug 04 18:32:26 <chanakya_vc> Well bradfa I didn't go for the FIFO. Right now the driver is taking the value from the userland and storing it in a uint8 variable. If you want that multiple bytes should be transferred , all I have to do is just increase the size of that variable. And then in size of 8 keep writing data to the firmware
Aug 04 18:32:39 <chanakya_vc> I mean it essentially represents a fifo
Aug 04 18:33:11 <chanakya_vc> without explicitly declaring one.
Aug 04 18:33:31 <chanakya_vc> Like the driver is temporarily storing the extra bits.
Aug 04 18:46:30 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, I will be replying to all your queries in your mail by tomorrow  morining (my time)along with my plan and what I have done so far in I2C and how I expect to achieve multi-byte transfer in SPI.
Aug 04 18:47:18 <chanakya_vc> Please give me some  time to research on that.
Aug 04 18:47:23 <chanakya_vc> morning.
Aug 04 18:50:01 <bradfa> chanakya_vc: ok, I look forward to your status update
Aug 04 18:51:22 <chanakya_vc> Thank you so much bradfa . I won't disappoint you.
Aug 04 18:52:24 <chanakya_vc> Been slow in doing in things due to fever.But I seem to fine now bradfa .
Aug 04 18:53:45 <chanakya_vc> But apart from the multi-byte transfer, SPI seems to be working fine bradfa . I think it is quite complete.
Aug 04 19:00:05 <chanakya_vc> bradfa, Anything else you would want that I do with SPI. Because I guess I have more or less covered all the features I proposed in my proposal?
Aug 04 19:03:39 <amragaey> Is it possible to access internet on BeagleBone Black without Ethernet cable ?
Aug 04 19:04:03 <chanakya_vc> yup amragaey
Aug 04 19:04:12 <amragaey> how ?
Aug 04 19:04:34 <chanakya_vc> You just need to declare your laptop as a default gateway
Aug 04 19:04:43 <chanakya_vc> Wait I will get you a linl
Aug 04 19:04:46 <chanakya_vc> link
Aug 04 19:04:49 <amragaey> thanks
Aug 04 19:04:54 <amragaey> ok
Aug 04 19:08:04 <chanakya_vc> amragaey, https://elementztechblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/sharing-internet-using-network-over-usb-in-beaglebone-black/
Aug 04 19:08:44 <chanakya_vc> Here the command on the BBB adds your laptop as a default gateway so all requests are forwarded to your laptop
Aug 04 19:09:06 <amragaey> great, thanks alot chanakya_vc, will try it no
Aug 04 19:09:07 <amragaey> now
Aug 04 19:11:27 <chanakya_vc> No problem amragaey . Do tell me if it works.
Aug 04 19:11:39 <chanakya_vc> *whether
Aug 04 19:19:50 <amragaey> this step fails -> ifconfig eth5 192.168.7.1
Aug 04 19:20:24 <amragaey> changing it to eth0, it goes into loop I think!
Aug 04 19:21:32 <chanakya_vc> hmmn amragaey , there is a eth5 in the third line also Changed that also?
Aug 04 19:22:29 <amragaey> no, the above step almost disconnected the board :D
Aug 04 19:23:14 <chanakya_vc> ohh :D
Aug 04 19:23:38 <chanakya_vc> Change that and see if it works or not amragaey
Aug 04 19:26:12 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: using ubuntu ?
Aug 04 19:26:25 <amragaey> yes
Aug 04 19:26:34 <chanakya_vc> not working amragaey ?
Aug 04 19:26:41 <amragaey> chanakya_vc, no, doesn't work
Aug 04 19:28:23 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: better , system setting > Network > Wired > options > ipv4 settings > Method = manual and then add 192.168.7.1 as address and 255.255.255.253 as the netmask
Aug 04 19:29:04 <ZeekHuge> setting things using ifconfig foo up/down usually is temporary as network manager changes those settings.
Aug 04 19:29:27 <chanakya_vc> ZeekHuge, That's what those commands do too I guess. Works for me.
Aug 04 19:29:43 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: and then reconnect.
Aug 04 19:29:53 <amragaey> I only have Wireless networks
Aug 04 19:30:12 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: BBB is not connected >
Aug 04 19:30:13 <ZeekHuge> ?
Aug 04 19:30:23 <ZeekHuge> lsusb ?
Aug 04 19:30:45 <amragaey> let check again, the previous command diconnected it
Aug 04 19:31:24 <ZeekHuge> you can check in dmesg then ...
Aug 04 19:32:50 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: ?
Aug 04 19:34:01 <amragaey> reconnecting now
Aug 04 19:35:20 <amragaey> doesn't connect :DD
Aug 04 19:35:40 <ZeekHuge> whats your ifconfig output ?
Aug 04 19:36:12 <amragaey> i can't access ssh now :D
Aug 04 19:36:34 <ZeekHuge> so you were able to ssh earlier ?
Aug 04 19:37:07 <amragaey> yes, something wrong happens..let me check it
Aug 04 19:37:09 <ZeekHuge> I though you were not able to connect at all.
Aug 04 19:38:28 <ZeekHuge> In that case, I am sorry, please  just revert changes. The point I told was about connecting the BBB. I though you were not able to connect to 192.168.7.2
Aug 04 19:38:34 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: ^^
Aug 04 19:39:38 <amragaey> no nothing at all, thanks for help. this may be something with my USB connection, I'll figure it out
Aug 04 19:40:08 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: can you please restate your problem again ?
Aug 04 19:40:09 <amragaey> thanks ZeekHuge
Aug 04 19:40:36 <amragaey> I just wanted to connect my BB to internet without ethernet cable
Aug 04 19:41:22 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: after you connect your bbb and are able to ssh into, you need to change iptable settings on your host to that.
Aug 04 19:41:26 <ZeekHuge> https://www.zeekhuge.me/post/a_handfull_of_commands_and_scripts_to_get_started_with_beagleboneblack/#strt:01d25bfd2399ec47b9c04f156786eab8
Aug 04 19:41:37 <ZeekHuge> point number 4 in the startes section
Aug 04 19:41:41 <ZeekHuge> amragaey: ^
Aug 04 19:41:49 <ZeekHuge> try that ! it should work ...
Aug 04 19:44:19 <amragaey> bash: Internet-interface: No such file or directory
Aug 04 19:45:08 <amragaey> os sorry, I have to change th if
Aug 04 19:45:46 <ZeekHuge> you need to replace that with your internet interface, something like wlan0
Aug 04 19:46:07 <ZeekHuge> at last, to check if all this works, try this 'ping 8.8.8.8'
Aug 04 19:48:41 <amragaey> 100% packet loss
Aug 04 19:48:47 <amragaey> I'll use thernet cable for now
Aug 04 19:48:50 <amragaey> thanks ZeekHuge
Aug 04 19:49:08 <ZeekHuge> haha ! yeah !
Aug 04 19:50:26 <ZeekHuge> tmate becomes handy in such cases .... anyway ..
Aug 04 19:59:00 <amragaey> :D
Aug 04 20:08:54 <nerdboy> still having trouble with forwarding?
