Feb 04 06:56:59 <carli2> hi
Feb 04 06:57:20 <carli2> when I plug in a usb cable and modprobe the usbnet module, I get a kernel panic
Feb 04 07:00:16 <carli2> what is the usb connector for? what is working with that?
Feb 04 08:07:02 <carli2> is there a way to use full 1080p with beagleboard?

Feb 04 10:45:59 <suhas> Hi can someone help me how can i configure linux kernel to beagleboard
Feb 04 11:38:45 <etheretic> erp.
Feb 04 11:39:38 <etheretic> cold.
Feb 04 11:40:28 <etheretic> have 3000W blasting in a 16sqm. room - still chilly.
Feb 04 12:13:30 <ovidius> hello everybody! I have some trouble with my beagleBoard xm and I want to see if it is normal. I've installed Ubuntu, the light version and while downloading packages the board looses connectivity with all the USB devices, Ethernet ( If I understood well this is USB device also) and HDMI ... is this related to ubuntu or my board has something wrong with it ?
Feb 04 12:16:08 <quantumi> did everybody else outside the US ahve to fill out a licence form issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security?
Feb 04 12:39:06 <rraf> hey, I'm new to the Beagleboard and I'm just learning some asm on ARM. I'm trying to get a simple 'hello world' running on bare metal beagleboard, can anyone shed some light on this? Here's what I have so far http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24783
Feb 04 13:23:52 <pea_> Hi! ... Help needed in compiling opencv examples on beagleboard C5
Feb 04 14:18:04 <LetoThe2nd> av500: you're somewhere near EFL at the moment?
Feb 04 14:30:53 <dm8tbr> LetoThe2nd: we're in that talk, yes

Feb 04 14:33:37 <LetoThe2nd> ah yes. you're the guy in front of av500?
Feb 04 14:33:43 <dm8tbr> yes
Feb 04 14:35:15 <LetoThe2nd> i can see you :) outermost right seat at right, row ~15 or so
Feb 04 15:46:58 <etheretic> u fellows at a conference or something?

Feb 04 19:42:31 <UniCar> I have a Beagleboard-xM. u-boot could not find a ethernet. Is it possible to have ethernet support in u-boot for a TFTP boot?
Feb 04 21:12:18 <rlrosa> hi
Feb 04 21:12:43 <rlrosa> i need to change the i2c-2 speed from 400kHz (default) to 333kHz. does anybody know how to do this?
Feb 04 21:12:55 <rlrosa> (beagle XM rev C)
Feb 04 21:17:11 <LetoThe2nd> rlrosa: if the controller supports it, then usually by changing the value in the kernels board file.
Feb 04 21:20:49 <rlrosa> LetoThe2nd:  something like beagle.h?
Feb 04 21:21:33 <LetoThe2nd> rlrosa: nope.... something like http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/andygreen/kernel-tilt.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3beagle.c;h=7ffcd2839e7ba872d872e0a53476b2e95832c2a2;hb=HEAD#l390
Feb 04 21:25:02 <rlrosa> LetoThe2nd: now i'm sure i know between very little and nothing about all of this. first step is to accept it :) i'll dig into that. thanks!
Feb 04 21:26:55 <LetoThe2nd> rlrosa: basically you need to get kernel sources, patch it (change whatever you want), build it, install it and then it should run. i guess the buzzwords "compile kernel beagleboard" will provide a good load of goole results to start with :)
Feb 04 21:31:36 <rlrosa> LetoThe2nd: i've been fighting with oe for a while, managed to build a couple of things with it, but i'm still not very comfortable with changing stuff, it's all kind of "magical". i2c-2 doesn't seem to be enabled in the beagle file, which is consistent with the fact that after building a kernel i saw /dev i2c-1 and 3, but no 2. do you happen to know if the /dev interface is enabled via the board file?
Feb 04 21:33:51 <LetoThe2nd> rlrosa: um... very trivially spoken, yes. there's a big stack behind all this, but if that stack is there and working correctly, then some /dev nodes, and among them the i2c nodes are created depending on whats in the board file.
Feb 04 21:34:30 <rlrosa> LetoThe2nd: ok. i'll look around. thanks again! :)
Feb 04 21:49:00 <frank_the_chevy> so for the XM  when it says "Built-in wifi" (on Angstrom - Gnome ) how does one connect to their wifi router ? mine keeps going to the wired connection by default and I ss no place to select wireless - thanks
Feb 04 21:49:57 <frank_the_chevy> see that is 
Feb 04 21:54:20 <thurbad> what wifi adapter are you using?
Feb 04 21:54:41 <thurbad> the xM does not have built in wifi
Feb 04 22:23:27 <arthurnn_> someone here to help me out to update my Angstrom version ?
Feb 04 22:23:39 <arthurnn_> I am using Mac OS 10.7
Feb 04 22:23:55 <arthurnn_> and once I plug my microsd through an USB
Feb 04 22:24:04 <arthurnn_> I cannot find /dev/sdX
Feb 04 22:24:32 <mattzz> dev/sdx is linux notation
Feb 04 22:24:41 <arthurnn_> ummm
Feb 04 22:24:45 <arthurnn_> how about in a MAC?
Feb 04 22:25:06 <mattzz> check diskutil on the command line
Feb 04 22:25:42 <arthurnn_> ok
Feb 04 22:25:44 <arthurnn_> bash-3.2# ls | grep disk disk0 disk0s1 disk0s2 disk0s3 disk1 disk1s1 disk1s2 disk1s3 rdisk0 rdisk0s1 rdisk0s2 rdisk0s3 rdisk1 rdisk1s1 rdisk1s2 rdisk1s3
Feb 04 22:25:52 <arthurnn_> if i run
Feb 04 22:26:06 <arthurnn_> ls /dev/ | grep disk
Feb 04 22:26:11 <arthurnn_> i can see a lot disks
Feb 04 22:26:22 <mattzz> try 
Feb 04 22:26:24 <mattzz> diskutil list
Feb 04 22:26:27 <tlab> is it listed as a mmc*
Feb 04 22:26:39 <arthurnn_> ok
Feb 04 22:26:42 <arthurnn_> so my disk is
Feb 04 22:26:54 <arthurnn_> disk1
Feb 04 22:27:16 <arthurnn_> but
Feb 04 22:27:19 <arthurnn_> once i try
Feb 04 22:27:27 <arthurnn_> xz -dkc Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beaglebone-2012.01.27.img.xz > /dev/disk1
Feb 04 22:27:39 <arthurnn_> i get this: /dev/disk1: Resource busy
Feb 04 22:28:06 <mattzz> you have to amount it first. 
Feb 04 22:28:20 <mattzz> it's a common mistake on Macs 
Feb 04 22:28:37 <arthurnn_> umm
Feb 04 22:28:45 <mattzz> there are descriptions you can find via google how to do it
Feb 04 22:28:51 <arthurnn_> i see.
Feb 04 22:29:26 <arthurnn_> diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Feb 04 22:29:27 <arthurnn_> ??
Feb 04 22:29:49 <mattzz> something like that. I don't recall exactly but I had the same problem ;)
Feb 04 22:30:11 <arthurnn_> awesome.
Feb 04 22:30:17 <arthurnn_> it looks like that it is going now
Feb 04 22:31:37 <arthurnn_> how can i make sure that i have the latest Angstrom running?
Feb 04 22:32:04 <tlab> check the web, or use opkg 
Feb 04 22:32:15 <mattzz> opkg update; opkg upgrade
Feb 04 22:32:31 <arthurnn_> umm! so i could had upgrade it from inside.
Feb 04 22:32:34 <arthurnn_> ??
Feb 04 22:32:39 <mattzz> not the kernel
Feb 04 22:32:49 <arthurnn_> because I am following this instructions to update: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/
Feb 04 22:33:02 <mattzz> and that is the way to go.
Feb 04 22:33:35 <arthurnn_> nice! i just didnt get it why there is 2 ways! the easy and the hard? 
Feb 04 22:33:44 <arthurnn_> i am following the easy way!!
Feb 04 22:33:55 <arthurnn_> in a micro sd which had some stuffs bfore.
Feb 04 22:34:00 <arthurnn_> is that going to work fine ?
Feb 04 22:34:32 <mattzz> sd card will be partitioned and formatted.
Feb 04 22:34:44 <arthurnn_> even using the easy steps?
Feb 04 22:34:52 <arthurnn_> thats great then!!
Feb 04 22:41:03 <arthurnn> is it taking a while
Feb 04 22:41:05 <arthurnn> is that normal?
Feb 04 22:41:15 <arthurnn> xz -dkc  Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beaglebone-2012.01.27.img.xz > /dev/disk1
Feb 04 22:41:31 <arthurnn> this is taking a while
Feb 04 23:06:22 <tlab> it will arth
Feb 04 23:13:24 <kanobix> Is angstrom supposed to come preinstalled on BeagleBoard xM?
Feb 04 23:14:13 <kanobix> Hello????????
Feb 04 23:14:49 <kanobix> Is there honestly no one here?
Feb 04 23:16:06 <thurbad> they're all hiding
Feb 04 23:16:13 <kanobix> Why
Feb 04 23:16:39 <thurbad> it comes with a validation image on a kind of cheap sd
Feb 04 23:16:47 <thurbad> was a joke
Feb 04 23:16:56 <kanobix> Anyway networking is supported on angstrom right?
Feb 04 23:17:18 <kanobix> I hope
Feb 04 23:17:38 <thurbad> sure
Feb 04 23:18:13 <kanobix> Then when I use my Mac to share its wifi connection via Ethernet why is nothing changing
Feb 04 23:18:53 <kanobix> Is opencv preinstalled?
Feb 04 23:18:57 <thurbad> dunno I've never been able to share my wifi on a mac
Feb 04 23:19:14 <thurbad> don't think so, I've never looked for it
Feb 04 23:19:18 <kanobix> Hello...probably hiding again lol
Feb 04 23:19:36 <kanobix> Oh ok
Feb 04 23:20:16 <kanobix> Thanks
Feb 04 23:20:29 <kanobix> Anyone else tried either? 
Feb 04 23:21:39 <kanobix> Did angstrom come preinstalled on everyone's beagleboards?
Feb 04 23:22:33 <kanobix> Anyone?
Feb 04 23:24:12 <kanobix> HELLO?????
Feb 04 23:24:32 <kanobix> Well then...
Feb 04 23:25:09 <kanobix> A validation image?
Feb 04 23:25:29 <thurbad> yeah it's enough to verify everything works
Feb 04 23:26:10 <kanobix> Can you get Ubuntu or a better distro running fine on a BeagleBoard xM?
Feb 04 23:27:39 <mattzz> yes
Feb 04 23:28:23 <kanobix> So I would have to flash it to the sd card?
Feb 04 23:28:39 <mattzz> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=beagleboard+ubuntu
Feb 04 23:29:39 <kanobix> I've read reports stating that it runs extremely slowly
Feb 04 23:32:18 <kanobix> So the angstrom that comes preinstalled is not fully featured?
Feb 04 23:34:20 <kanobix> olleh?????
Feb 04 23:34:57 <kanobix> Does anyone have answers around here?
Feb 04 23:35:31 <kanobix> GFG
Feb 04 23:35:49 <kanobix> Amazing support community
Feb 04 23:39:06 <arthurnn> hey
Feb 04 23:39:10 <arthurnn> sup kanobix
Feb 04 23:39:23 <arthurnn> so i just had update the version of the angstrom
Feb 04 23:39:31 <arthurnn> he has left.never mind
Feb 04 23:39:32 <arthurnn> lol
Feb 05 00:00:25 <mranostay> howdy from CA
Feb 05 00:50:19 <arthurnn> hey guys
Feb 05 00:50:29 <arthurnn> someone have any example of code for PWM output?
Feb 05 00:50:43 <arthurnn> is that Node.js has support for anolog write already?
Feb 05 00:51:46 <arthurnn> anyone there?
Feb 05 00:53:14 <arthurnn> ?
Feb 05 00:59:25 <arthurnn> anyone there/?
Feb 05 01:03:50 <arthurnn> ?
Feb 05 01:03:53 <arthurnn> any clue for PWM 
Feb 05 01:20:58 <Russ_> pwm is a basic concept
Feb 05 01:23:06 <arthurnn> hey
Feb 05 01:23:08 <arthurnn> so.
Feb 05 01:23:11 <arthurnn> the think is 
Feb 05 01:23:21 <arthurnn> i have a beaglebone
Feb 05 01:23:44 <arthurnn> running the default angstrom
Feb 05 01:24:05 <arthurnn> for instance
Feb 05 01:24:06 <arthurnn> P8_13
Feb 05 01:24:12 <arthurnn> it is a PWM output right?
Feb 05 01:24:21 <arthurnn> so how should I write to it?
Feb 05 01:24:44 <arthurnn> echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio23/value
Feb 05 01:24:46 <arthurnn> ?
Feb 05 01:31:01 <arthurnn> anyone?
Feb 05 01:40:14 <vi> Hello
Feb 05 01:40:48 <vi> Hello,
Feb 05 01:41:48 <vi> can someone please tell me how to install vi editor on the angstrom OS
Feb 05 01:41:52 <vi> ?
Feb 05 01:46:14 <arthurnn> hey
Feb 05 01:46:37 <arthurnn> my angstrom has vi already
Feb 05 01:55:09 <Russ> if there is a pwm subsystem, use that
Feb 05 01:57:47 <vi> how is it possible?
Feb 05 01:58:01 <vi> i typed vim and it dosent work
Feb 05 02:00:19 <vi> how do u run linux in the terminal window?
Feb 05 02:01:20 <arthurnn> type VI
Feb 05 02:01:39 <arthurnn> @Russ : what do u mean about pwm subsystem
Feb 05 02:01:40 <arthurnn> ?
Feb 05 02:02:22 <Russ> if its a pwm and it has support in the kernel pwm subsystem...
Feb 05 02:02:56 <arthurnn> what u mean! what a sec.
Feb 05 02:03:01 <arthurnn> i have the beaglebone board.
Feb 05 02:03:10 <arthurnn> running the latest andstrom
Feb 05 02:03:23 <arthurnn> and I bought a DC motor controller board.
Feb 05 02:03:41 <arthurnn> which I have to send a DIR and a PWM sign
Feb 05 02:03:43 <arthurnn> http://letsmakerobots.com/node/27513
Feb 05 02:03:55 <arthurnn> check this out: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/4938/circuitx.jpg
Feb 05 02:04:06 <arthurnn> this blue board in the right is the one i bought! 
Feb 05 02:04:29 <arthurnn> but i am thinking how to hook up that in my beaglebone
Feb 05 02:04:47 <arthurnn> and also how to send the pulses through PWM
Feb 05 02:05:07 <Russ> http://lwn.net/Articles/303978/
Feb 05 02:05:47 <arthurnn> ok so give a sec
Feb 05 02:05:49 <arthurnn> i will read that.
Feb 05 02:05:50 <Russ> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardPWM (for beagleboard but similar)
Feb 05 02:06:04 <arthurnn> i have saw that link for beagleboard.
Feb 05 02:06:13 <arthurnn> but the files .tar.gz are not working.
Feb 05 02:06:56 <arthurnn> my qquestion is.! i saw that PWM i have to send a pulse HIGH then wait 2 ms then change to low! then wait 20ms
Feb 05 02:07:07 <arthurnn> I am doing that using that cloud9 / node.js API
Feb 05 02:07:11 <arthurnn> but not working!
Feb 05 02:07:22 <Russ> that's if you are using a gpio
Feb 05 02:07:39 <Russ> if you are using a pwm pin, the pwm functionality does that for you
Feb 05 02:07:41 <arthurnn> yep
Feb 05 02:07:48 <arthurnn> ummm
Feb 05 02:07:49 <arthurnn> i seee.
Feb 05 02:07:51 <arthurnn> make sense.
Feb 05 02:07:55 <arthurnn> so for example
Feb 05 02:08:03 <vi> ok it works
Feb 05 02:08:05 <vi> thanks
Feb 05 02:08:15 <arthurnn> for instance
Feb 05 02:08:16 <vi> angstron is cool
Feb 05 02:08:23 <arthurnn> EHRPWM2B  in P8 13
Feb 05 02:08:25 <arthurnn> this is a PWM right?
Feb 05 02:08:42 <Russ> I don't have a beaglebone
Feb 05 02:09:05 <arthurnn> ummm
Feb 05 02:09:06 <arthurnn> i see.
Feb 05 02:09:08 <arthurnn> what u have?
Feb 05 02:09:10 <arthurnn> beagleboard?
Feb 05 02:09:22 <Russ> yes
Feb 05 02:09:42 <arthurnn> and u had to install the PWM driver to make it work
Feb 05 02:09:43 <arthurnn> ?!
Feb 05 02:10:09 <arthurnn> in here: http://lwn.net/Articles/303978/ i didnt find the downalod link
Feb 05 02:11:24 <Russ> I've never used pwm anything
Feb 05 02:11:45 <Russ> I just know that the kernel has a pwm subsystem, and omap has pwm hardware, and you want pwm functionality
Feb 05 02:11:47 <Russ> a+b=c
Feb 05 02:12:06 <arthurnn> ummm i see.! thats great buddy.
Feb 05 02:12:06 <arthurnn> thanks
Feb 05 02:12:12 <arthurnn> i found this http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/2010_Projects/Pulse_Width_Modulation
Feb 05 02:12:15 <arthurnn> it might work.
Feb 05 02:12:43 <arthurnn> i am pretty newbe in this yet! 
Feb 05 02:14:10 <Russ> I get the impression they went outside the subsystem
Feb 05 02:14:25 <arthurnn> what u mean by subsystem?
Feb 05 02:14:39 <arthurnn> subsystem  you mean driver ?
Feb 05 02:16:55 <Russ> see include/linux/pwm.h
Feb 05 02:17:38 <arthurnn> in where?
Feb 05 02:17:40 <arthurnn> root?
Feb 05 02:23:45 <arthurnn> make -C /sysroots/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel M=/home/root/omap3-pwm modules \
Feb 05 02:23:48 <arthurnn> getting that error
Feb 05 02:23:59 <arthurnn> some clue
Feb 05 02:24:13 <arthurnn> looks like that it is not finiding the kernel directory in beaglebone
Feb 05 02:29:27 <arthurnn> anyone?
Feb 05 02:37:41 <arthurnn> anyone make PWM work in beaglebone?
Feb 05 02:52:16 <arthurnn> anyone here?
Feb 05 02:52:20 <arthurnn> to help me out?
Feb 05 02:54:43 <thurbad> dunno what you're trying to do
Feb 05 02:54:51 <arthurnn> i am trying to install PWM
Feb 05 02:54:55 <arthurnn> in a beaglebone
Feb 05 02:55:07 <arthurnn> i am trying to install this source https://github.com/scottellis/omap3-pwm
Feb 05 02:55:27 <arthurnn> however it is complaining about the OE path
Feb 05 02:55:35 <arthurnn> some clue?
Feb 05 02:55:41 <arthurnn> has anyone done that bfore?
Feb 05 02:56:38 <thurbad> are you using bitbake?
Feb 05 02:56:51 <arthurnn> what is bitbake ?
Feb 05 02:56:57 <arthurnn> sorry i am ealllly newbe
Feb 05 02:57:47 <thurbad> it allows you to compile code for other plalforms on your host pc
Feb 05 02:57:49 <arthurnn> i am just trying to MAKE  the package 
Feb 05 02:57:59 <arthurnn> ummm nice! 
Feb 05 02:58:02 <thurbad> are you doing it on the board?
Feb 05 02:58:17 <arthurnn> i am trying to compile the code straight within the board! 
Feb 05 02:58:21 <arthurnn> yep
Feb 05 02:58:28 <thurbad> that will take a lot longer
Feb 05 02:59:01 <arthurnn> root@beaglebone:~/omap3-pwm# source /home/root/omap3-pwm/beagle-source-me.txt
Feb 05 02:59:02 <arthurnn> root@beaglebone:~/omap3-pwm# make

Feb 05 02:59:07 <arthurnn> thats what I am getting
Feb 05 02:59:24 <thurbad> yeah, do you have the kernel sources on the board?
Feb 05 02:59:38 <arthurnn> as far as I am concerned nop!
