**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Feb 03 02:59:57 2012 Feb 03 06:16:00 How to auto login as root on Beagleboard. I am using Angstrom kernel 3.0.9+. Feb 03 06:56:37 does anyone have problems with ethernet disconnects on an XM Feb 03 06:57:33 it just sort of disconnects and i have to ifconfig usb0 down and then ifconfig usb0 up, reconnect to my network then it works again Feb 03 07:11:28 are boot logs stored somewhere on the mmc? Feb 03 07:17:08 anyone? XM dropping ethernet when in use... Feb 03 07:18:50 you'll need to be much more specific Feb 03 07:20:30 ok well XM ethernet when under load drops and i have to use ifconfig usb0 down then bring it back up to reestablish a connection Feb 03 07:20:36 i'm using a 2A power supply Feb 03 07:21:03 through the actual barrel connector, not the OTG. it happens on angstrom and on gentoo Feb 03 07:21:15 define "drops" Feb 03 07:21:24 can't ping Feb 03 07:21:26 out or in Feb 03 07:21:38 usb0 still shows up when i type ifconfig though Feb 03 07:21:57 that sucks… haven't heard anyone else complain of that Feb 03 07:22:48 you stick around long enough there are people that mgiht be able to help you here but you have to be patient Feb 03 07:22:56 some on the forums have had the problem and even the wiki suggests a capacitor change Feb 03 07:23:10 i'm just wondering if there's anything I can do before i RMA it Feb 03 07:23:21 you tested against another board? Feb 03 07:24:05 the short answer is probably not, unless you want to write a cron that restarts the interface periodically… the duct tape solution Feb 03 07:24:37 http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/2d00bd6c813afb92 Feb 03 07:24:50 yea i was thinking about a script like that but that's no good for download interrrupting Feb 03 07:24:53 or try different kernels in hopes its a driver issue thats fixed in a later rev, but that's just speculating Feb 03 07:25:36 yea i tried a few. even compiled my own directly from git Feb 03 07:26:42 the google group thread was pretty recent too, just a few months ago... Feb 03 07:26:54 why is it talking about usb though? Feb 03 07:27:06 doesn't it have a dedicated port? Feb 03 07:27:43 yes it's a dedicated port but it's actually just a usb-ethernet adapter on pcb Feb 03 07:27:43 lol Feb 03 07:27:54 ic Feb 03 07:28:05 that's too bad Feb 03 07:28:09 which frankly, does make sense on a small board like that, just put it on a hub instead of a separate chip Feb 03 07:28:15 with more lanes Feb 03 07:32:07 gotta run… good luck! Feb 03 09:27:29 Hey you giys ! Feb 03 09:27:31 guys Feb 03 09:27:58 I juste purchased a beagleboard and I wanna install Ubuntu on it Feb 03 09:28:20 I went through a whole process I saw on a tutorial Feb 03 09:28:33 and everything seemes to be OK on that Feb 03 09:28:53 The SD card is properly setup Feb 03 09:29:16 The issue is when I plug the SD card in the beagleboard (XM Rev C) Feb 03 09:29:21 and nothing happens Feb 03 09:29:36 it does not boot ! Feb 03 09:29:39 Was it turned off before you plugged it in? Feb 03 09:29:45 What power supply are you using? Feb 03 09:30:00 It is a 5V power supply Feb 03 09:30:08 >1A? Feb 03 09:30:08 and yes i was turned off before i plug it in Feb 03 09:30:30 In fact, I was able to boot GNOME on it perfectly Feb 03 09:30:45 5.2A Feb 03 09:30:53 Good Feb 03 09:31:04 Ok, any activity on the serial port? Feb 03 09:32:35 nope, in fact, when I plug using the serial port and enter a dmesg on my terminal, it says that it detects the device and disconnect it right away Feb 03 09:33:23 The kernel shouldn't know that there is a device connected to the serial port Feb 03 09:33:48 Unless you're using a USB serial adapter and that's what you're talking about; in which case, it sounds like that's broken Feb 03 09:34:40 by the way that's the tutorial I saw for Ubuntu Feb 03 09:34:41 http://youngindiafellowship.academia.edu/JatinSharma/Blog/48865/Ubuntu-installation-on-Beagle-Board-XM Feb 03 09:34:45 OK Feb 03 09:35:12 The weird thing is, I managed to install either GNOME, ENLIGHTMENT perfectly Feb 03 09:35:36 I'm pretty much lost right now Feb 03 09:35:42 dunno what to do... Feb 03 09:35:54 you installed what perfectly? Feb 03 09:36:03 GNOME or ENLIGHTMENT Feb 03 09:36:08 where? Feb 03 09:36:12 these are OS for the beagleboard Feb 03 09:36:16 no Feb 03 09:36:29 gnome is not an OS (yet) Feb 03 09:36:34 neither is E Feb 03 09:37:09 Suser environnement sorry :) Feb 03 09:37:10 my bad Feb 03 09:37:14 user* Feb 03 09:37:21 desktop * Feb 03 09:37:26 anyway Feb 03 09:37:31 and you installed them where? Feb 03 09:37:43 on the SD card Feb 03 09:38:10 so you had a booting SD card? Feb 03 09:38:16 and when i plug the SD in the board, the board works perfectly Feb 03 09:38:19 yes Feb 03 09:38:39 so, then skip the ./setup_sdcard.sh step and just copy the files for ubuntu Feb 03 09:38:57 bbl Feb 03 09:39:09 Ok Feb 03 09:39:14 thanks for the advice buddy :) Feb 03 09:39:55 I'm gonna try that Feb 03 09:40:08 Thanks for your help you guys ! Feb 03 09:40:25 Good morning/afternoon/evening/night (depends on bisous for the french LADIES Feb 03 09:40:42 bbl Feb 03 09:41:34 hi there! i'm connected through the http://beagleboard.org/discuss web page, because i can't connect to this chat with xChat tool Feb 03 09:48:07 bah. if the pinmuxing and my code is correct, any reason why my gpio settings in u-boot shouldn't work? http://pastebin.com/nvwfgT1P Feb 03 09:48:13 this really shouldn't be hard... Feb 03 09:49:01 Could anyone help me to get connected to freenode on xChat application?? Feb 03 09:50:29 I launch xChat, i try to get connected to the FreeNode server (on the server list) but it is hanged on "*** Looking up your hostname..." Feb 03 09:50:47 we don't know anything about that Feb 03 09:50:53 try asking in a freenode help channel Feb 03 09:50:53 Hi everyone...I have just opened a new beagle bone...I am totally new to this. Can Anyone tell me how to write and run a simple OSless application like "hello world" on this board Feb 03 09:51:38 read the documentation for u-boot and use taht Feb 03 09:52:08 it's the most simple "os" for a beagle available, imho Feb 03 09:52:47 besides that, an "hello world" isn't simple. at least not, if you want to see that hello world somewhere ;) Feb 03 09:54:27 Thanks aholler....OK lemme try but Hello world is simple if u just wanna see that on console window....rather than some graphic LCD etc. Feb 03 09:56:06 I have been using ALTERA Qaurus and NIOS IDE....it Feb 03 09:56:43 it's JTAG is able to show printf statements on console Feb 03 09:58:07 this kinda work i wanna see using beagle bone :) Feb 03 10:06:57 hi ant_work ! what's up? Feb 03 10:07:08 ah, it's the kernel messing things up Feb 03 10:08:13 OK....tasslehoffwrk....tell me some OS less way to run simple program on beaglebone Feb 03 10:08:37 as u said it's the kernel which messes things up Feb 03 10:08:51 good morning Feb 03 10:09:15 Pinku: nope. I was talking about my own gpio-issues, and I have no beaglebone :) Feb 03 10:09:34 ok no problem friend Feb 03 10:15:48 Pinku: what createsthe console window? what does i/o, what initialzes memory, what handles the serial ... Feb 03 10:17:27 soc like the one on the beaglebone arn't as simple as an avr Feb 03 10:18:51 Has anyone else had trouble downloading the beagle clean img file from http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBone Feb 03 10:19:07 i seem to get to about 400MB through the download and it falls over Feb 03 10:19:33 does anyone know where else I can get an "as delivered" image file Feb 03 10:20:44 aholler: console window is nothing but a window in the IDE u are using. I use SOPC builder which implemets whole system based on NIOS softcore processor. And use NIOS IDE to write C application...if there is any printf or scanf are there...they are emulated on your console via JTAG Feb 03 10:21:56 The sysstem is higly complex than AVR...but implementation is quite simple...I have worked on AVR also....it's not the matter of system...but the level of tools Feb 03 10:22:09 available Feb 03 10:23:07 emulated via jtag? sorry, that doesn't make sense Feb 03 10:23:36 but as i said, have a look at u-boot Feb 03 10:26:27 I mean what is running inside the processor are a bunch of so many assemly instructions to display something via UART and it goes to PC USB using JTAG cable with USB-blaster and NIOS IDE converts those data to be displayed on console window like a stdio device Feb 03 11:00:07 When I set up pins as gpio in u-boot, and don't have OMAP_MUX set in my kernel config, shouldn't the kernel leave my gpio's alone? Feb 03 11:00:20 tasslehoffwrk: depends Feb 03 11:00:33 individual drivers can still change pinmuxing I guess Feb 03 11:01:32 av500: it's a couple of HSUSB1 pins that don't behave. I can set them to gpio in sysfs afterwards, but that's maybe the case anyway. Feb 03 11:04:42 bingo. usb-host.c pulling merrily away. Feb 03 11:30:05 hi all Feb 03 12:16:40 does anyone know anything about Automatic Identification System (AIS)? receivers vs. transceivers (cost/complexity of implementation)? Feb 03 12:25:06 no mux in kernel and usbhs-port[0] disabled, but still the kernel messes with my gpio. perhaps it's time to call it a week. Feb 03 13:24:03 ahhh... phinally phriday. Feb 03 13:28:38 the u-boot board file for zoom2 talks about setting STOPON_PWRON making some beta boards continually reset. anyone know more about that? it happens on my board as well Feb 03 13:30:13 u-boot will restart itself 3-4-5 times when it gets to "using default environment", and then it finally manages to boot the kernel Feb 03 13:59:32 somebody inquired whether the Pixel Qi screen is used in a commercial product - well, http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-20554-view-tablet-pc-toughlet.html (hey it's ARM-powered too!) Feb 03 15:20:01 Hi fellas, have you any idea how to "halt" am335x CPU as described in: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=109699BC-3CF0-4E2E-8A53-BCEB7DC08C1A%40gmail.com&forum_name=openocd-devel Feb 03 15:45:25 hi there! has anyone flashed a SDCard (with a circuitco .img file in my case) and found that on the rootfs partition a "read only file system" was created?? Feb 03 15:46:39 i'm launching my BB-xM-RevC with a 8Gb µSDCard, and after some IO error messages on the boot, i get logged in...but i can't write on the system Feb 03 15:47:03 can't modify files, can't create them... very frustrating... Feb 03 16:05:24 natxo: is your sd mounted read only? Feb 03 16:06:31 if that's the case run fsck on a host machine Feb 03 16:09:03 I am always amazed at how long it takes to build a 12 MB image Feb 03 16:13:59 Is it still needed to patch the kernel to enable SPI? Feb 03 16:14:43 * _av500_ builds a 120MB image in 1h Feb 03 16:16:29 hi thurbad, thanks for your answer... no the sd mounted is not read only.. i have an error message while booting: Feb 03 16:16:34 [ 11.212921] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended [ 11.222106] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds [ 11.300506] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): using internal journal [ 11.309844] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode Feb 03 16:17:03 i think that because of this error the filesystem is mounted as read only Feb 03 16:17:11 <_av500_> try another sd Feb 03 16:17:28 Who is using all the hotel bw? Feb 03 16:17:29 type mount and it should tell you if something is ro Feb 03 16:17:33 root@beagleboard:~# mount -> /dev/root on / type ext3 (ro,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback) Feb 03 16:17:41 yes, it is :) Feb 03 16:18:13 yeah, definitely run e2fsck on it in another machine Feb 03 16:35:56 Ok I'm back Feb 03 16:36:01 I know you're all thrilled Feb 03 16:36:38 * etheretic wibbles Feb 03 16:36:49 So, to resume my problem. My CONFIG_RTFWIFI is blank. Feb 03 16:37:08 mouser: fafhrd nearby? Feb 03 16:37:19 oh glad you are finally back, can you explain me how to patch my kernel? (basic stuff here i'm new to openembedded and stuff) Feb 03 16:37:30 and I was told ""two options, find a kernel that'll work, or rebuild your current kernel with those options enabled.." Feb 03 16:38:01 jsabeaudry: sounds like we have a similar problem Feb 03 16:38:42 I used the narcissus builder following:L http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/1ec0c6585a2141c8/19e6ac4bbdd4647f?show_docid=19e6ac4bbdd4647f Feb 03 16:38:59 Is there something I needed to do differently in building the image? Feb 03 16:39:14 do you have the kernel modules? Feb 03 16:39:23 mouser, Indeed, have you found where the kernel files are in the open embedded source tree? (I tried "find" but it seems they arent there) Feb 03 16:39:47 I also keep getting: "usb 2-2.2: firmware: requesting RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin " Feb 03 16:40:00 thurbad: No, I don't think so. Feb 03 16:40:55 in oe you need to bitbake virtual/kernel, if you want to modify them use bitbake -c devshell virtual/kernel Feb 03 16:42:44 I'm going to end up needing to do this for a bunch of boards, is there a way I can do it correctly the first time? Feb 03 16:44:18 once you have a image configured the way you want just clone it Feb 03 16:44:24 with dd Feb 03 16:45:35 okay, I guess ill need to install oe then Feb 03 16:45:58 mouser, You might want to use angstrom setup scripts Feb 03 16:46:25 mouser, It sets up oe and bitbake for you Feb 03 16:46:48 where do I find those? Feb 03 16:47:11 * mouser googles Feb 03 16:47:30 mouser, git://git.angstrom-distribution.org/setup-scripts Feb 03 16:49:21 mouser, The only problem with that thing is that it downloads everything for every board supported by angstrom so if you just do beagle stuff it's going to waste some of your time Feb 03 17:02:01 so I rebooted b/c my ethernet wasn' tworking on Angstrom and got Failed to brin gup eht0 Feb 03 17:02:05 bring up* Feb 03 17:02:32 I believe there is a simple command to fix that but I can't remember where I saw it. Feb 03 17:02:46 mouser, sudo ifup eth0 Feb 03 17:03:29 <_av500_> Crofton: train fubar. new eta 1820 and short walk Feb 03 17:04:28 mouser, Are you on beagleboard or bone btw? Feb 03 17:04:35 BBxm Feb 03 17:07:03 hmm, this can't be good Feb 03 17:07:13 Alignment trap in kernel: swapper (0)... Feb 03 17:09:26 is it one of those trains that does not go in the snow Feb 03 17:11:05 <_av500_> now in a local train Feb 03 17:12:14 mouser: using ipv6 and/or g_ethernet? Feb 03 17:13:34 ok i fixed it Feb 03 17:13:49 I just had to "ifdown usb0; ifup usb0" Feb 03 17:14:37 ok nevermind it's still doing it Feb 03 17:15:57 mru: I'm not sure what g_ethernet is, but I'm fairly sure I'm not using ipv5 Feb 03 17:15:59 6* Feb 03 17:16:21 <_av500_> v7 Feb 03 17:19:30 do I install OE on teh beagleboard or my host computer? Feb 03 17:21:39 host Feb 03 17:22:25 ok, thanks. Probably a stupid question :-\ Feb 03 17:22:32 I'm off to class though.

Feb 03 20:10:11 (they've been assholes all along) Feb 03 20:10:25 jobs riu Feb 03 20:11:03 acorn nerds were camy nerds, i.e. real mccoy. Feb 03 20:11:24 camby Feb 03 20:11:40 is the angström demo image safe to use opkg update? Feb 03 20:12:30 that's a usage of the word "safe"... Feb 03 20:13:34 when you used opkg upgrade on openpandora, the system was broken because they had some extra files somewhere. is that issue present on beagle, too? Feb 03 20:17:32 carli2: maybe look at http://markmail.org/message/d4n5ehl3yfctzkn3 Feb 03 20:17:35 I need ssh-keygen, but what's the name of the package? Feb 03 20:18:04 * etheretic pubs Feb 03 20:18:56 update is safe, upgrade not always Feb 03 20:34:50 Acorn nerds were loosers, as I recall it. Feb 03 20:35:10 They afraid the word 'risc' and 'safe'. Feb 03 20:38:41 :o the beagleboard ethernet is a usb gadget?? Feb 03 20:38:51 that's why it's so slow Feb 03 21:09:36 carli2: dont opkg upgrade Feb 03 21:09:55 but if you do and it works, let us know :) Feb 03 21:10:32 how can I shut down the service responsible for X? Feb 03 21:10:44 stopping the gdm service works on ubuntu, but not on beagle-angstrom Feb 03 21:10:46 killall Xorg Feb 03 21:11:03 or X Feb 03 21:11:08 well, I want to change the boot process in a clean way Feb 03 21:11:15 just look at the process list Feb 03 21:11:16 not starting gnome session and then killing it Feb 03 21:11:20 that's slow and ugly Feb 03 21:11:33 find which init provider you have Feb 03 21:11:39 sysv systemd Feb 03 21:11:41 provider? Feb 03 21:11:45 sure Feb 03 21:11:59 if you have systemd systemd is your init provider Feb 03 21:12:12 /etc/init.d/gdm stop should stop the x server Feb 03 21:12:13 if you have upstart upstart is your init provider Feb 03 21:12:24 if you have sysv init init is your init provider Feb 03 21:12:30 ok, how can I find that out? Feb 03 21:12:56 is it to hard to for you to think about it Feb 03 21:12:56 i wonder which entry in init.d is the Xorg when not gdm Feb 03 21:14:09 process 1 is init Feb 03 21:14:36 it seems that gdm for beagle is broken Feb 03 21:14:56 ok, who broke it ! ;) Feb 03 21:15:41 no weekend off for the culprit. Feb 03 21:16:10 just uninstall the stuff via opkg Feb 03 21:16:15 even gdm restart tells me it restarted, but nothing happened Feb 03 21:16:48 well, I don't want to remove it completely Feb 03 21:17:25 there is no [libre|open]office in the opkg lists Feb 03 21:22:49 embedded linux is so dirty in comparison to desktop Feb 03 21:24:02 lol Feb 03 21:24:17 try to crosscompile libreoffice Feb 03 21:24:38 you will see enough dirty stuff Feb 03 22:21:26 * etheretic unpubs Feb 03 22:21:43 erk. Feb 03 22:27:06 Hello, is there a known usb wifi dongle that works on beagleboard-xm running angstorm? Feb 03 22:27:32 beagle-xm rev c* Feb 03 22:27:41 rtl or zd1211 sticks don't work? Feb 03 22:28:22 pretty sure the default kernel configs have support for the more popular usb sticks Feb 03 22:28:27 you'll need the firmware though Feb 03 22:29:14 i have a rosewill that works on a desktop pc but not on beagleboard. before i buy a new one, i just want to make sure i buy one that works Feb 03 22:30:23 i see drivers for zd1211 but i dont see a device that i can buy Feb 03 22:42:11 muriani: hi, long time . .. Feb 03 22:53:49 also, for beagleboard-xm, to connect to serial sonars and i2c sensors, which is the best os to use? angstorm, ubuntu or android? Feb 03 22:54:38 * djlewis guesses angstrom Feb 03 22:54:59 still need voltage translation between BB and devices Feb 03 22:56:26 ok Feb 03 23:22:23 I need a little help with my XM...ethernet drops sometimes when downloadding and the device crashes. Feb 03 23:22:34 and i have to restart the beagleboard, i'm using XM revC Feb 03 23:22:51 also sometimes it just drops randomly and I have to use ifconfig usb0 down and ifconfig usb0 up to bring it back up Feb 03 23:23:29 anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix it? Feb 03 23:24:55 sri Guest91356 - if I am the only non-zombie here then you are likely out of luck. I'm pre-scouting because my beagleboard and beaglebone are in the mail. Feb 03 23:25:10 do you have enough power? Feb 03 23:25:16 yes 3A Feb 03 23:25:24 tried it with 2A and 3A Feb 03 23:25:27 same result Feb 03 23:25:35 reproducable too Feb 03 23:25:41 i've tried angstrom and gentoo Feb 03 23:26:08 power cord thick enough?
