Apr 29 08:38:40 <educa> hmmm so many people online here. thats nice
Apr 29 08:39:16 <educa> I am looking to buy me a beaglebone, since by now I believe gcc will run on this (but will probably not be on the linux image by default)
Apr 29 08:40:23 <educa> 1 thing I wonder is how I can make my program halt for a certain number of milliseconds. I mean thereby that it will probably be with the "delay" function call, but does somebody know what parameter this takes ? Is it milliseconds, microseconds ? I would need some kind of delay(microseconds)
Apr 29 09:01:53 <educa> en dat is een fractie van 0->10 milliseconden of zo
Apr 29 09:09:07 <ak> I'm having some trouble opening a serial port in python, it keeps saying port not open
Apr 29 09:09:32 <ak> the mux settings are set correct, any thoughts?
Apr 29 09:59:27 <aholler> cat
Apr 29 10:01:00 <mru> dog
Apr 29 10:01:18 <aholler> dog /dev/ttyO2?
Apr 29 10:01:49 <mru> cat /dev/mouse?
Apr 29 10:02:34 <aholler> >dog
Apr 29 10:30:08 <ak> meow?
Apr 29 10:40:16 <_av500_> /dev/meow
Apr 29 11:50:07 <koen> aholler: you're saying that 3.3.x is quite broken on beagleboard, right?
Apr 29 11:58:45 <_av500_> 3.3.3
Apr 29 11:59:07 <_av500_> the name of the halfbeast
Apr 29 12:11:41 <koen> I was looking at 3.3.4
Apr 29 12:35:28 <_av500_> i'd wait for 3.3.5 for enterprise deployment
Apr 29 12:58:36 <goldpeer> hello is anybody there?
Apr 29 12:58:52 <goldpeer> I compiled  openembedded-release-2011.3
Apr 29 12:59:13 <goldpeer> I got an error which is opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package locale-base-fr-fr. |  * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package locale-base-pt-br.
Apr 29 12:59:29 <goldpeer> does anyone know it?
Apr 29 13:00:15 <goldpeer> and I found under folder recipe/glibc glibc-stage.in file got zero file size. why is that?
Apr 29 13:48:30 <goldpeer> hello
Apr 29 14:14:06 <goldpeer> any one can answer my questions?
Apr 29 14:16:01 <goldpeer> do you know why xserver-xorg packages in systemd-gnome-image didn't include /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions?
Apr 29 14:16:42 <goldpeer> if you know the answer, please give me some clues how we can specify which files can be included in rootfs?
Apr 29 14:34:11 <goldpeer> hello
Apr 29 15:18:39 <niro> anyone else have problems with v4l?
Apr 29 15:41:27 <goldpeer> is v4l a video player?
Apr 29 15:41:57 <goldpeer> i have a problem on packages in rootfs not v4l.
Apr 29 15:42:26 <niro> no, v4l is a driver for video devices
Apr 29 15:44:08 <niro> goldpeer, what problems are you havin?
Apr 29 15:54:22 <_av500_> its sunday afternoon
Apr 29 15:54:36 <_av500_> people are outside at their barbeuque
Apr 29 15:54:54 <_av500_> barbecue..
Apr 29 16:52:10 <brino> Hi, I need to register an ALSA codec which doesn
Apr 29 16:52:47 <brino> ..'t have an o-file like some of the others. How do I build my codec files (h/c)?
Apr 29 17:04:08 <goldpeer> hi my question is libextmod.so is not in rootfs
Apr 29 17:04:09 <goldpeer> how to make it included
Apr 29 17:04:41 <goldpeer> niro, do you know that?
Apr 29 17:05:15 <goldpeer> it was raining here, 10 degree.
Apr 29 17:05:16 <niro> is there a program looking for it?
Apr 29 17:05:34 <goldpeer> i am working on openembedded
Apr 29 17:06:03 <goldpeer> angstrom-gnome-image but it doesn't include librecord.so and libextmod.so
Apr 29 17:06:16 <goldpeer> they are related to xserver-xorg
Apr 29 17:06:31 <goldpeer> so far I don't know how to include them
Apr 29 17:06:36 <goldpeer> at rootfs.
Apr 29 17:06:39 <niro> what are you trying to do that needs them?
Apr 29 17:07:09 <goldpeer> because when I boot angstrom-gnome-image without it, the x11-windows was not booted
Apr 29 17:07:15 <goldpeer> no x11-window
Apr 29 17:07:33 <goldpeer> i think it is X needs them
Apr 29 17:08:06 <niro> can you run X manually?
Apr 29 17:10:15 <goldpeer> yes. when it runs, it needs to load libextmod.so
Apr 29 17:10:47 <niro> where did you get the rootfs from?
Apr 29 17:11:02 <goldpeer> and X was aborted
Apr 29 17:11:42 <goldpeer> I built it from angstrom repository. git checkout
Apr 29 17:16:02 <goldpeer> do you know how to include these lib/modules/extensions into rootfs? niro
Apr 29 17:16:15 <goldpeer> or anyone knows it
Apr 29 17:17:10 <niro> your xorg.conf file will have a section called modulespath
Apr 29 17:17:17 <niro> that tells the X server where to look for modules
Apr 29 17:17:25 <niro> the module you want is called extmod
Apr 29 17:17:41 <niro> it will have a section in there, like, load "extmod"
Apr 29 17:18:44 <anuvrat_> hi
Apr 29 17:19:09 <anuvrat_> I am unable to connect to beagle's serial stream, tried both minicom and screen ..
Apr 29 17:19:30 <anuvrat_> in dire need of help
Apr 29 17:19:41 <niro> anuvrat_, what kernel?
Apr 29 17:20:06 <anuvrat_> niro: ubuntu 12.04
Apr 29 17:20:08 <niro> infact, can you see uboot?
Apr 29 17:20:20 <anuvrat_> niro: thats the thing ... I can't
Apr 29 17:20:36 <niro> what screen command are you using?
Apr 29 17:21:09 <anuvrat_> niro: sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB3 115200
Apr 29 17:21:57 <niro> unplug your usb, and then plug it back in and type ls -l /devttyUSB*
Apr 29 17:22:16 <goldpeer> yes. i know x server will look for module extmod.
Apr 29 17:22:43 <Ulrikk> I have a problem registering a codec on the beaglebone
Apr 29 17:23:05 <anuvrat_> niro: you want me to paste the output here?
Apr 29 17:23:16 <niro> use pastebin
Apr 29 17:23:36 <goldpeer> niro: and my question is when i was running bitbake systemd-gnome-image, why these files (libextmod.so, librecord.so etc) were not packaged into rootfs?
Apr 29 17:24:07 <Ulrikk> A have a codec eval board, and I hooked it to the beaglebone, but the codec for alsa does not register
Apr 29 17:24:10 <niro> goldpeer, because they are not part of x, they are extensions
Apr 29 17:24:21 <anuvrat_> niro: http://dpaste.com/739864/
Apr 29 17:24:36 <goldpeer> niro: how can I include extensions?
Apr 29 17:24:51 <goldpeer> which BB files I need to modify?
Apr 29 17:25:19 <niro> goldpeer, find out what package libextmod.so comes in, and then manually install it into the modules directory as define in the xorg.conf file
Apr 29 17:25:52 <niro> anuvrat_, are you sure that it's USB3?
Apr 29 17:25:59 <niro> actually, unplug the usb for me
Apr 29 17:26:03 <goldpeer> niro I have already done manually, it works. I now want to include them automatically, but not found how?
Apr 29 17:26:05 <niro> and then ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Apr 29 17:26:46 <anuvrat_> niro: http://dpaste.com/739865/
Apr 29 17:27:07 <anuvrat_> niro: yes I am sure, I had checked dmesg | tail before firing the command
Apr 29 17:27:52 <niro> anuvrat_, that's strange...
Apr 29 17:28:18 <anuvrat_> niro: any suggested workarounds?
Apr 29 17:29:47 <niro> anuvrat_, looks like a conflict, ttyUSB1-3 time stamps update when you unplug and plug it back in
Apr 29 17:30:43 <niro> you might have to unbind the drivers in /sys
Apr 29 17:30:52 <niro> i have to shoot off, i'll be back in a few hours.
Apr 29 17:31:01 <anuvrat_> niro: thanks
Apr 29 17:31:52 <niro> goldpeer, I don't know what you mean by doing it automatically, once you save the xorg.conf file then it should automatically detect the modules
Apr 29 17:42:40 <goldpeer> niro, i mean when I run bitbake systemd-gnome-image to build this rootfs, I would like to include extension in rootfs
Apr 29 17:43:02 <goldpeer> it isn't included at the moment, but there must be a way to do so.
Apr 29 17:44:36 <W1N9Zr0> to include an opkg package in the fs image, add it to the image recipe's IMAGE_INSTALL
Apr 29 17:45:49 <mranostay> _av500_: you live on a farm or something?
Apr 29 17:47:51 <goldpeer> ok. thanks W1N9Zr0
Apr 29 17:48:12 <goldpeer> I can try it right now.
Apr 29 18:02:19 <anuvrat_> problem connecting beagle to minicom / screen, all I see is weird characters, help
Apr 29 18:07:39 <dm8tbr> set correct baud rate and further parameters
Apr 29 18:07:45 <anuvrat_> hi ... unable to connect beagleboard to minicom or gnu screen ... I get just garbled characters that I can't make any sense of
Apr 29 18:08:03 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: what parameters are required on gnu screen?
Apr 29 18:08:10 <dm8tbr> repeating yourself will get you _LESS_ answers
Apr 29 18:08:23 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: I apologize
Apr 29 18:09:09 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: I executed gnu screen with sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Apr 29 18:09:17 <anuvrat_> are some other parameters required?
Apr 29 18:12:04 <dm8tbr> what image are you running?
Apr 29 18:12:52 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: ubuntu 12.04
Apr 29 18:15:04 <dm8tbr> server or desktop?
Apr 29 18:17:50 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: it does not have a gui ... if thats what you mean by server
Apr 29 18:20:13 <dm8tbr> no, there are different images for BB
Apr 29 18:21:51 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: well, I am not even able to see the uboot messages clearly ... all I see are special characters ... images of inverted question marks and stuff
Apr 29 18:22:05 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: what could be the reason?
Apr 29 18:22:53 <dm8tbr> I'll restate my question: which ubuntu image did you put on your SD card?
Apr 29 18:25:00 <anuvrat_> dm8tbr: a friend of mine did that, I do not know which image it was exactly
Apr 29 18:25:57 <dm8tbr> and serial worked for him?
Apr 29 19:29:50 <_av500_> mranostay: totally
Apr 29 19:30:45 <_av500_> anuvrat_: check your serial connection
Apr 29 20:01:49 <tomazo> exit
Apr 29 20:01:54 <tomazo> quit
Apr 29 20:52:19 <mranostay> heh
Apr 29 21:00:36 <ak> I'm having trouble opening a serial port, anybody free to help?
Apr 29 21:14:56 <niro> ak, what problems?
Apr 29 21:15:31 <ak> when trying to talk across ttyO1 with python it tells me port not open
Apr 29 21:17:04 <niro> so open it?
Apr 29 21:17:24 <ak> how does one do that?
Apr 29 21:20:17 <niro> I haven't used python, so I'm not sure, but I should image there is a serial library you can include
Apr 29 21:21:12 <niro> SERIAL_PORT = "COM5";
Apr 29 21:21:13 <niro> ser = serial.Serial(SERIAL_PORT, 9600, timeout=1);
Apr 29 21:21:22 <niro> apparently this is the correct python code to open a serial port
Apr 29 21:21:42 <niro> and import serial
Apr 29 21:22:07 <ak> I'm on a beaglebone, so it's ttyO1 instead of COM5, yea?
Apr 29 21:22:27 <ak> otherwise I'm doing that, baudrate of 115200, though
Apr 29 21:22:37 <niro> it'll be /dev/ttyO1
Apr 29 21:23:46 <ak> hm
Apr 29 21:24:04 <ak> is there a way to just open a serial console?
Apr 29 21:24:18 <ak> send commands, recieve data?
Apr 29 21:24:27 <ak> not necessarily with python
Apr 29 21:24:41 <niro> screen /dev/ttyO1 115200
Apr 29 21:27:09 <ak> just opened a blank screen?
Apr 29 21:28:44 <niro> yes, anything it recieves on the serial will show up there
Apr 29 21:28:58 <niro> and anything you want to send is typed in there.
Apr 29 21:29:23 <ak> the characters I type don't show up
Apr 29 21:34:14 <niro> what are you connected to?
Apr 29 21:34:44 <ak> I'm trying to connect to a bluetooth module
Apr 29 21:34:59 <ak> bluesmirf from sparkfun if it matters
Apr 29 21:37:10 <niro> try typing $$$
Apr 29 21:37:17 <niro> and hit return
Apr 29 21:38:29 <ak> that's what I've been trying
Apr 29 21:38:32 <ak> $$$
Apr 29 21:38:34 <ak> followed by
Apr 29 21:38:35 <ak>  D
Apr 29 21:40:53 <ak> trying to request the basic settings
Apr 29 21:44:06 <niro> try using minicom instead
Apr 29 21:45:03 <ak> minicom -o /dev/ttyO1 115200 ?
Apr 29 21:46:24 <niro> give it a try
Apr 29 21:47:14 <ak> same thing, the letters I type don't show up
Apr 29 21:47:58 <niro> go into the settings and put echo on
Apr 29 21:49:18 <ak> local echo?
Apr 29 21:49:21 <niro> yes
Apr 29 21:49:51 <ak> same thing, nothing showing up
Apr 29 21:50:16 <niro> hold on...
Apr 29 21:50:39 <niro> how exactly is it connected to your computer...
Apr 29 21:50:51 <niro> serial to board, or usb to serial to board?
Apr 29 21:51:27 <ak> wires soldered to the breakout board, plugged into the UART 1 rx/tx on P9
Apr 29 21:52:08 <niro> P9?
Apr 29 21:52:22 <ak> header P9 on the beaglebone
Apr 29 21:53:15 <ak> pins 26/24
Apr 29 22:03:25 <ak> is that not the right way?
Apr 29 22:04:06 <niro> I was just reading the bbone ref
Apr 29 22:04:24 <ak> k
Apr 29 22:04:45 <niro> It looks right, what's the voltage on the bluetooth module?
Apr 29 22:04:51 <niro> tx output
Apr 29 22:05:31 <ak> hm
Apr 29 22:05:33 <ak> 3.3 I think
Apr 29 22:06:11 <ak> 3-6V tolerant
Apr 29 22:07:52 <niro> so... have you wired all 6 of the pins on the bt module?
Apr 29 22:09:29 <ak> I had wired them all to no avail, currently the rts and cts are wired together
Apr 29 22:09:43 <ak> I've got to go to the store to get stuff for dinner
Apr 29 22:09:54 <niro> k
Apr 29 22:09:59 <ak> I'll be back later, thanks for your help so far, I really appreciate it
Apr 29 22:10:08 <niro> good luck
Apr 29 22:10:09 <niro> :)
Apr 30 00:22:22 <Purduecer> How do I connect to a BeagleBoard-xM RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget interface in Mac OS X or Windows 7?
Apr 30 00:22:42 <Purduecer> I've scoured the net for drivers and can't seem to find anything useful anywhere I've looked so far
Apr 30 00:23:33 <mranostay> and it doesn't work out of the box?
Apr 30 00:23:47 <Purduecer> I mean, I don't think so
Apr 30 00:23:56 <Purduecer> I'm trying to copy files over to it using scp
Apr 30 00:24:06 <Purduecer> but I need an IP address of the board to do that
Apr 30 00:24:21 <Purduecer> and all efforts have been futile thus far
Apr 30 01:14:45 <mranostay> heh seems like someone never heard of DHCP
