**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jul 10 02:59:58 2012 Jul 10 04:29:55 still awake whole night? Jul 10 05:08:33 Does the custom ROM by rowboat support BeagleBoard C4? Jul 10 07:41:34 hi, what's the method to hidden the startup message when poweron the beagleboard? is there a possibility to add an image or something similar? Jul 10 07:48:50 'quiet' in cmdline Jul 10 07:50:56 koen: interesting thanks Jul 10 07:54:17 less linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt Jul 10 07:54:45 aholler: thank's now i'm reading Jul 10 07:55:21 if you want a splash, thats usually done with some tool in an initrd Jul 10 08:12:55 koen: back from holidays? Jul 10 08:18:27 holywhat? Jul 10 08:21:06 aholler: do you mean psplash? Jul 10 08:21:33 av500: he spent some days as "Ghost Fahrer", isn't? Jul 10 08:26:46 stuk_gen: I don't care about splash-screens, you could cat foo > /dev/fbN too. Jul 10 08:28:00 aholler: brutally :) Jul 10 08:29:11 no, kiss Jul 10 08:29:25 koen: about psplash, we have to change the rotation. What is better from the 'feed maintainer' POV? If we add a runtime-check we can let the recipe arch-specific otherwise at build time that would render it machine-specific.Add to this the PR increment done in layer...would that survive to an ipg upgrade? Jul 10 08:29:47 *ipkg Jul 10 08:42:00 is there a problem with the psplash-ansgtrom? Jul 10 08:42:23 oe fails the do_fetch Jul 10 09:08:14 is there a guide to configure psplash on angstrom?!? Jul 10 12:34:54 i'm using narcissus to make a big image, uncompressed size 570M, it took about 30 minutes now still ongoing, is this normal... Jul 10 12:38:43 Depends on your connection, but yeah, I would say so. Jul 10 12:39:22 i thought it's all done at narcissus server side before i can download, why the connection a factor Jul 10 12:39:27 i have 8Mbps downstream Jul 10 12:39:40 You still need to talk with the service. Jul 10 12:39:58 And, by "connection" I mean end-to-end, not just your home side. Jul 10 12:40:05 about 800kbps upstream Jul 10 12:40:24 Also, narcissus is slow. Jul 10 12:41:03 It is powered by a team of hamsters (and a gerbil) on little wheels. One CPU cycle per rotation of a wheel. Jul 10 12:42:12 per my understanding it's all pre-made ipkgs, so cpu is less important but network speed is more relevant? Jul 10 12:42:54 42 minutes now :) Jul 10 12:43:47 ::shrugs:: Jul 10 12:43:49 No idea. Jul 10 12:44:06 I know that, in the past, I have had issues even on a 100M symmetric connection--narcissus is slow. Jul 10 12:45:31 indeed 8M rootfs is fairly fast Jul 10 12:45:48 where are the narcissus server located? Jul 10 12:46:21 i wish we have a mirror site somewhere.... Jul 10 12:48:11 Narcissus is located in Ashland, OR, according to geoIP. Jul 10 12:48:47 Mirrors should be pretty easy to set up, just dro[p an email to the project list and ask what you would need to do to make one. Jul 10 12:49:00 I know Linux mirrors in general are pretty trivial. Jul 10 12:49:26 but narcissus isn't trivial Jul 10 12:50:17 if I'm not mistaken it builds the final image from precompiled packages Jul 10 12:52:00 guys, with the latest build of angstrom my ethernet of beagleboard xM, don't works correctly. At the start the eth0 interface is down, and when active can't get ip from dhcp Jul 10 12:53:19 i'm the unique with this problem? Jul 10 12:53:44 attach the cable Jul 10 12:53:56 ynezz: That *should* not be that big a deal, really. Jul 10 12:54:02 aholler: nice... Jul 10 12:54:25 aholler: the cable is attach...and if i set up manually the ip all works Jul 10 12:56:13 ynezz: Honestly, from a system standpoint, the biggest hurdle would be the load-balancing. Jul 10 12:56:41 ynezz: Because if that is not set up yet (they probably currently only *have* one box), that would e a pretty big investiture of time. Jul 10 12:56:42 stuk_gen: see, crystall balls are often broken and I assume nobody here sits behind you and looks at your screen. So you should learn to describe your problems in a way which makes sense Jul 10 12:56:56 The actualy mirror software should pretty much be the same as what they are currently running. Jul 10 12:57:13 aholler: its what i've done! Jul 10 12:57:42 aholler: i said at the power on...the interface eth0 is down. i have to put ifconfig eth0 up to turn on it Jul 10 12:57:45 agmlego: well to make life easy just link a mirror link to angstrom site Jul 10 12:58:00 stuk_gen: after I had to throw a comment to you Jul 10 12:58:02 to do manual balancing, i.e. if this site is slow, try that one :) Jul 10 12:58:18 stuk_gen: and that is just boring Jul 10 12:58:34 aholler: the only comment i get is 'attach the cable' Jul 10 12:58:45 58 minutes still a 570M image is not assembled at narcissus Jul 10 12:59:05 i will leave it run Jul 10 12:59:15 stuk_gen: because you've just posted "don't works correctly", what do you expect? Jul 10 12:59:38 aholler: " don't works correctly. At the start the eth0 interface is down, and when active can't get ip from dhcp" Jul 10 13:00:08 aholler: this is what i get... the cable is attach...if i set manually ip address all works Jul 10 13:00:31 so where does that sentence say the cable is connected, the connect-led is on or similiar? Jul 10 13:00:31 agmlego: just ping koen, he would gladly accept more boxes I think :) Jul 10 13:00:32 aholler: i don't understand why at the startup the interface eth0 is down and after turn on the dhcp don't work Jul 10 13:00:54 s/connect-led/link-led/ Jul 10 13:01:00 aholler: because i think is 'stupid' says if cable is attach... Jul 10 13:01:14 aholler: cable is attach, led is blink Jul 10 13:01:48 aholler: the only interface active is lo Jul 10 13:03:10 stuk_gen: sniff the wire to see if a request goes out and a response comes back Jul 10 13:03:11 aholler: green led blink, yellow link is always on Jul 10 13:03:52 aholler: is there a program like wireshark for angstrom? Jul 10 13:04:33 you should know it better than I, I'm not using angstrom Jul 10 13:05:09 aholler: and what distribution do you use? Jul 10 13:05:45 gentoo, but that is nothing I would suggest Jul 10 13:05:57 gentoo on a begleboard? Jul 10 13:44:29 can anyone tell me a reason why kexec -l may run in a loop and load the beginning of the kernel again and again ? Jul 10 13:56:57 where i can find some guide to use psplash on angstrom? Jul 10 14:02:13 aholler: ey finally i could enable the i2c2 clocks in the core_cm register through memory mapping now i can w/r the i2c controller registers. as you said I had to change the clock-registers myself, thanks for the hint Jul 10 14:17:50 stuk_gen: why not Gentoo on a BeagleBoard? Jul 10 14:18:12 jkridner__: no i don't know Gentoo can run on bb Jul 10 14:18:19 sure it can Jul 10 14:19:30 https://github.com/Jach/squidly/wiki/Beagleboard-Gentoo-Install might be helpful.... or many other Google results. Jul 10 14:19:46 http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml is very nice for BeagleBone Jul 10 14:22:27 http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Hitchhikers_Guide_to_the_BeagleBoard_xM Jul 10 14:22:57 hopefully we'll have some hardfp libs out there soon as well for those that care about that. Jul 10 14:24:38 jkridner__: sabayon...lol Jul 10 14:24:52 jkridner__: with its massive graphic effect Jul 10 14:25:40 I've run gentoo, but never sabayon, so I'm not familiar with what they do. Jul 10 14:26:33 hello, I'm working on customizing a kernel for the Beaglebone. I'm using the Robert C. Nelson scripts I found on github and I'm having a problem installing a new kernel, is this the correct forum to be talking about this? Jul 10 14:28:00 cospan: basically yes. just ask as precisely as possible, and if anyone knows he/she will try to help Jul 10 14:32:09 okay, thanks! What I've done is downloaded the most recent version of the pre-installed image of 12.04 Ubuntu. I conifirmed that it runs correctly. I then used the "stable-kernel" branch from the Robert C. Nelson script I found on github to build a stock kernel (I wanted to just confirm that I can use a different kernel than the one supplied). I used his script "install_image.sh" to install the new kernel on the SD card and when I Jul 10 14:32:29 what is the best kernel for beagleboard xM? every day that i build image with angstrom something not works...one day the ethernet, other day the audio driver...is there a image that works well every devices on bb xm? Jul 10 14:33:05 cospan: you hit the 512 character limit of an irc post :) Jul 10 14:33:26 oh, I'll break it up into two lines Jul 10 14:33:45 okay, thanks! What I've done is downloaded the most recent version of the pre-installed image of 12.04 Ubuntu. I conifirmed that it runs correctly. I then used the "stable-kernel" branch from the Robert C. Nelson script I found on github to build a stock Jul 10 14:33:46 cospan: just continue after "kernel on the sd card and..." Jul 10 14:34:02 new kernel on the SD card and when I start up the Beaglebone and watch the serial port I see that it reads the Jul 10 14:34:05 kernel and says it's "ok" and then it says "starting kernel" and then it hangs. I've reset the device and it just gets to the same point Jul 10 14:34:15 it was a cliff hanger Jul 10 14:35:21 cospan: have you checked the early printk config as well as the console arguments? Jul 10 14:35:55 no, I can set that as a kernel config option and come back with the response Jul 10 14:36:27 cospan: well the first thing is to check that early printk is enabled Jul 10 14:37:43 okay, I'll check it out Jul 10 14:40:42 a quick question: what is the ADC sampling rate on the beaglebone? The SRM says "00K samples per second" Jul 10 14:41:26 Hey guys. I have my BeagleBone connected to the PC using the "USB-to-Ethernet interface". How can I connect the BeagleBone to internet? Jul 10 14:41:59 SmashLink: attach the cable Jul 10 14:43:00 so it cant connect via the usb? Jul 10 14:43:42 that's not a lot of samples :/ Jul 10 14:43:45 (I guess you mean the Ethernet cable, right?) Jul 10 14:43:55 right Jul 10 14:44:07 SmashLink: should be doable, you'd have to configure your desktop for bridging/forwarding to usb0 (ot whatever the beagle interface is) Jul 10 14:45:15 hm ok, then I guess I should get an Ethernet cable, it looks like the most logical way Jul 10 14:45:17 thanks :D Jul 10 14:50:17 Anyone know what the ADC_Clock rate is? Looks like samples can be had at 15x ADC_ClockRate? Jul 10 14:53:13 I've confirmed that the EARLY_PRINTK option is enabled and that on the commandline. The console arguments (found in the uEnv.txt) are ttyO0, 115200n8 so I believe that if the kernel were booting I would see something. Also I see no activity on the LEDs Jul 10 14:53:44 NM... found the info: Seven 100K sample per second A to D converters are available on the expansion header. Jul 10 14:55:28 there is an argument in the configuration script for building/installing the kernel on to the sdcard that specifies where the 'ZRELADDR' I used the default ZRELADDR=0x80008000 specified for TI chips, could this be the problem? Jul 10 15:04:16 i need a little help with picking a Beagle Board Xm I see on Digikey there is a REV c and one marked as just Beagle Board XM which is the better board? Jul 10 15:05:28 Just-in: The XM is the newest version of the Beagleboard Jul 10 15:06:53 And is it true the max microsd card size is 32gb? Jul 10 15:07:19 no Jul 10 15:07:23 well Jul 10 15:07:30 there might be 64GB Jul 10 15:07:47 I have a 64 gb card just not sure if BB XM would support it Jul 10 15:08:07 64 gb not bad Jul 10 15:08:27 picked it up for like 45 bucks on amazon awhile ago. Jul 10 15:46:02 a 476MB file at narcissus was built in 35 mins, not too bad Jul 10 15:46:33 is there a way for me to add more packages to it without running the rootfs on a real ARM device? Jul 10 15:46:38 qemu? Jul 10 15:47:04 * xxiao wants to add SDL-dev stuff to it Jul 10 15:50:10 opkg-cl -o /path/to/rootfs Jul 10 15:52:24 never used that, thanks Jul 10 15:59:04 I have been attempting to install a custom kernel, The reason I want to do this is so that I can use a USB webcam on the Beaglebone. When I use the kernel that comes with the pre-install Ubuntu image I get a 'dma busy' bug that hangs. Does anyone know a way to fix the DMA bug in Beaglebone? Jul 10 16:14:47 If you have a perfectly working SD card, is it then possible somehow to make an identical copy of that SDcard with file allocation table and all ? I have had lots of work to make configuration to kernel and would like to make a backup of the card somehow for rescue purposes Jul 10 16:15:36 educa: dd Jul 10 16:17:36 dd = ? a linux command ? Jul 10 16:19:16 ok found out, disk utility on linux. I have an ubuntu box so I'll try this. Thanks Jul 10 16:20:07 just compiled opkg from googlecode on ubuntu 64bit, is the opkg-cl new opkg? i did not see opkg, just opkg-cl Jul 10 16:40:30 how to make opkg search case insensitive? Jul 10 16:40:42 manpage? Jul 10 16:40:51 agmlego: did not find that... Jul 10 16:42:51 gm Jul 10 16:44:32 djlewis: ? just built opkg from googlecode, anyway it's not critical just thought if i missed something obvious Jul 10 16:45:00 gm == good morning Jul 10 16:45:05 :) Jul 10 16:45:43 emeb: the planets were aligned properly and my karma was up to snuff :) Jul 10 16:45:53 can i retire yet? Jul 10 16:46:09 djlewis: the patch worked? Jul 10 16:46:19 yep Jul 10 16:46:43 sweet! Jul 10 16:46:49 so on a scale 1 - 10 how hard is it to get ubuntu running for someone thast never done this lol Jul 10 16:46:56 Now you've got 100MHz BW, right? Jul 10 16:47:00 had a bit of uncertainty after the change as my vert channels were looking screwed. Jul 10 16:47:32 I did the scopes self cal and it straightened up. Yes, Jul 10 16:48:12 I measured a 120Mhz oscillator before and after. the amplitude went up from 1.6V to 2.8V Jul 10 16:49:42 I dont have a 100Mhz plus square wave generator for rise time. I got the 2ns div now. Jul 10 16:49:43 Nice. Jul 10 16:50:05 I dont know that it will make a great difference in my doin's but it is a done deal now. Jul 10 16:54:59 djlewis: you a scopemodder now? Jul 10 17:02:36 av500: it was a case of the simples to mod with mine Jul 10 17:02:55 a minor software patch and it goes from 50 to 100Mhz Jul 10 17:03:17 the howto has been out since 2010 that I am aware of. Jul 10 17:03:42 djlewis: what scope? Jul 10 17:04:17 Rigol DS1052E, of course now days they lowered their 100Mhz model to the same price the 50 sold for Jul 10 17:04:38 it was 50 = $399, 100 = $700 Jul 10 17:04:48 s/$700/$799 Jul 10 17:05:01 ah nice :) Jul 10 17:06:18 djlewis: those are expensive bits :) Jul 10 17:06:41 the two scopes have always been the same with their clothes off, just a software change between them. Jul 10 17:07:22 100Mhz model is DS1102E Jul 10 17:09:20 I keep thinking about getting a DSO, but my old Tek 2213 keeps working fine. Jul 10 17:10:40 emeb: i began craving a DSO for analyzing digital data Jul 10 17:11:18 my old analog just doesn not have it in that area Jul 10 17:15:37 Anyone here ever trying running VMplayer on the BB XM Jul 10 17:17:22 you undress your scopes? Jul 10 17:17:25 weirdo :) Jul 10 17:18:01 Just-in: er VMWare makes an ARM version? Jul 10 17:19:05 not sure i didnt think they did but i saw VMware Player on the shopping list. Jul 10 17:19:18 was thinkin how in the world is that done. Jul 10 17:19:53 OH never mind i see what it means. Jul 10 17:20:24 it says if you dont have a linux pc for development to use vmplayer to run a vm of linux. Jul 10 17:23:58 mranostay: as Dave would say, "Don't turn it on, take it apart!" Jul 10 17:25:29 Just-in: use knoppix or similiar to learn the basics with linux. And use a distro which comes with manpages (most do). Jul 10 17:27:08 I have been using Ubuntu or a few years now (still learning things) Just got confused thinking there was a arm version of vmplayer. Jul 10 17:37:18 hi Jul 10 17:37:26 I have a BBXM Jul 10 17:37:36 good choice Jul 10 17:38:01 BBxm I would compile kernet to obtein pwm inteface and a spi Jul 10 17:38:24 I already tried many many times Jul 10 17:38:36 from monline guide found Jul 10 17:38:42 but not working Jul 10 17:38:53 anyone can helpp e? Jul 10 17:39:14 many guide online founded Jul 10 17:39:29 I don't no very well Jul 10 17:39:39 Kernel release Jul 10 17:39:48 bootcmd Jul 10 17:39:59 rootfs Jul 10 17:41:28 aarch64, what a silly name Jul 10 17:41:37 this on is my sdcard http://pastie.org/4232852 Jul 10 17:41:48 gioivanni: Please try to rephrase your question more coherently.

Jul 10 17:45:58 Are you getting any error messages? Jul 10 17:46:05 What steps have you tried? Jul 10 17:46:11 What were the results? Jul 10 17:48:01 da da daaaa .... I would like to say to you But I don't know how...... Jul 10 17:48:10 oasis wonderwall good song Jul 10 17:49:24 man wonderwall that brings back memories Jul 10 17:49:58 SO what all weird things have you guys made cases out of for the XM Jul 10 17:50:45 so Jul 10 17:51:10 my last proof was with this page Jul 10 17:51:13 http://tekytech.wordpress.com/topics/compiling-linux-kernel-4-beagleboardxm/ Jul 10 17:51:20 Just-in: I know :) and its all thanks to gioivanni ... he made me remember it Jul 10 17:51:36 and now its on repeat :\ Jul 10 17:51:45 the results: http://pastie.org/4232876 Jul 10 17:51:47 Its always on the VH1 top 100 Jul 10 17:53:02 im thinking building a case and having that case inside by tower pc case. Be a PC inside a PC Jul 10 17:53:48 VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0p2" or unknown- O_o ? Jul 10 17:54:00 yes Jul 10 17:54:52 which sd card is this? are you using the default sd card that came with the beagleboard? or did you partition one yourself with all the sources? Jul 10 17:55:12 4b sdcard Jul 10 17:55:17 4b Jul 10 17:55:21 4gb Jul 10 17:55:33 yes 4gb Jul 10 17:56:03 there is a obvious language barrier here Jul 10 17:56:03 i need to get my card ready for when my board comes in. Hurry up Digikey! Jul 10 17:56:16 yes there is Jul 10 17:56:44 im sure its the one that came with it and he redid it to run the new os buts its failing some where Jul 10 17:57:03 which language barrier Jul 10 17:57:09 :) Jul 10 17:57:13 hehee Jul 10 17:57:31 yea... the language barrier dont worry its not something on the beagleboard Jul 10 17:57:34 please help me Jul 10 17:58:14 can suggest me some guide to enable spi and pwm? Jul 10 17:58:40 I already compiled about five or six kernel Jul 10 17:58:51 i would give you the same link that you gave above.... Jul 10 17:58:53 all not workiing Jul 10 17:59:06 nooooo Jul 10 17:59:30 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel Jul 10 17:59:45 thats a stepby step guide to it Jul 10 18:02:11 holy crap i jsut saw the funniest picture Jul 10 18:04:03 plse can you post another time the link Jul 10 18:05:31 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Linux_kernel Jul 10 18:16:47 hi Jul 10 18:16:57 I came back Jul 10 18:17:45 I 'm looking for some gay help me to enable SPI and PWM interface o my BBxm Jul 10 18:18:30 I already have done many tests, but all not working Jul 10 18:18:33 please Jul 10 18:19:15 I have 4Gb sdcard and my first test was thisone http://linuxdeveloper.blogspot.it/2011/10/enabling-spi-on-beagleboard-xm.html Jul 10 18:35:21 will you take some straight help? Jul 10 18:41:44 lol Jul 10 18:42:44 gioge: You keep saying they are not working. YOu need to define how they are not working--are there error messages? Jul 10 19:05:33 will a 5 volt 3 amp power supply be ok to run the XM Jul 10 19:12:47 yes Jul 10 19:13:11 I think it should be Jul 10 19:14:46 cool. I have a 5v 2.5 amp as well. Jul 10 19:15:18 and about 1000 other types. Jul 10 19:17:15 the board needs about 800mA + usb-hub + usb-eth. if nothing else is attached a 1.5A would do it too Jul 10 19:21:01 sweet i wasnt sure what the draw would be for the broad plus mouse and kb Jul 10 19:32:11 Would anyone be interested in custom dovetail constructed enclouserbox for the beagleboard? Jul 10 19:35:10 bornpilot: there are already a number of boxes for the beagleboard and in general most people are more interested in the beaglebone these days Jul 10 19:36:11 prpplague what's outhter that is custom wood enclouser for the beaglebone? Jul 10 19:36:21 ^out there Jul 10 19:37:05 bornpilot: i did not understand your question Jul 10 19:38:05 Just curious if anyone would be interested in custom wood enclouser for the it omap beagleboards including the bone. Jul 10 19:38:22 ^ti omap Jul 10 19:39:45 bornpilot: make your sample and post it and see :) Jul 10 19:40:22 djlewis: will do! Jul 10 19:41:13 djlewis: my project is using the beagleboard-xm. Jul 10 19:48:11 bornpilot: I have more projects than i'll ever get to in my lifetime :P Jul 10 19:48:25 jkridner, http://www.oz9aec.net/index.php/beaglebone/476-turning-the-beaglebone-into-a-high-definition-ip-camera Jul 10 19:48:42 djlewis: stop sleeping. that will allow you to finish a 1/3 Jul 10 19:50:29 djlewis: what is one you are working on now? Jul 10 19:52:48 the beagleboard one is kiosk Jul 10 19:53:22 I just bought a raspberry pi to use as a controller for my wifi AP's Jul 10 19:54:07 bornpilot: finished this one a while back: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer_Nunchuk Jul 10 19:54:37 bornpilot: and now on this at times: http://djlewis.us/files/projects/beagleScanSpec/ Jul 10 19:54:50 in between many others. Jul 10 19:55:15 djlewis: The controller software us Java and I am not sure how well the broadcom on the pi board is going to handel that as well as mongodb. Jul 10 19:55:32 Crofton|work: good application and great throughput is it is for real. Jul 10 19:55:46 dunno Jul 10 19:55:59 the guys seems sane though, from his gnuradio work I ahe seen Jul 10 19:56:15 s/first (is)/ it Jul 10 19:56:50 djlewis is your background EE? Jul 10 19:57:07 bornpilot: among others Jul 10 19:57:37 not to comnfuse EE as Electrical Engineer. I am more an Electronics engineer Jul 10 19:58:07 but not near as good at it as I'd like to be. Jul 10 19:58:24 I see. I work in IT as a manager getting into electronics. Jul 10 19:59:01 * djlewis would die of boredom at a IT job, been there, done that. Jul 10 19:59:34 when I wasnt bored I was being held responsible for everything computer 24/7 Jul 10 20:00:15 yeah, right now I have the chance to use the pi and beagleboard at work, my hobby is electroncis, I wish I had done EE in college. Jul 10 20:00:19 at least I was only supporting some 500 people last time i IT'd Jul 10 20:01:27 I got into electronics some 49 years back and love it today. Jul 10 20:01:56 yes, there was electronics back then Jul 10 20:02:22 djlewis: you must be up on your tube theory? Jul 10 20:02:39 well it is possible to get rusty on it after that long ;) Jul 10 20:03:19 Crofton|work: got my AE ham ticket a week back. Jul 10 20:03:56 I just got my technical ham last summer. Jul 10 20:04:40 bornpilot: yeah, i got tired of answering dx cq's accidentally out of my band with my tech and general Jul 10 20:05:06 born got my tech last nov and gen January Jul 10 20:05:37 bornpilot: congrats on your tech :) Jul 10 20:09:02 thanks djlewis and congrats to you as well. Jul 10 20:10:11 I got into ham while flying, about 9 years back but never did anything wilth until last year. Jul 10 20:11:41 bornpilot: i have a short "ham" bio on qrz.com af5fp Jul 10 20:15:23 dj that's neat. kc9uon Jul 10 20:16:43 593.5 mi, no problem ;) Jul 10 20:16:58 Hey guys what is it that I need to mount on the beaglebone to get access to the GPIO? Jul 10 20:17:21 hmm, thats a wide open question Jul 10 20:17:29 sysfs, mounted on /sys Jul 10 20:17:37 Thanks housel Jul 10 20:17:47 oh there was a short answer :) Jul 10 20:18:11 The GPIO controls are in /sys/class/gpio Jul 10 20:18:16 * djlewis ''s mind was stuck in the hardware layer. Jul 10 20:19:51 codesear.ch Jul 10 20:21:18 hi everybody.... Jul 10 20:22:32 fiel: Hey dude, how the heck are ya :) Jul 10 20:23:05 I have a beaglebone.... and I don't know why my IP configuration don't works..... Jul 10 20:24:55 i run linux on my beaglebone... and I tried a lot of time to configure my IP adress with ifconfig comand... Jul 10 20:25:23 djlewis: hi, i don't understand you... Jul 10 20:25:50 fiel: blame it on my excessive caffiene intack Jul 10 20:25:53 intake Jul 10 20:27:01 when I use "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0" Jul 10 20:28:50 hmm housel it says special device sysfs does not exist. Jul 10 20:30:00 nvm got it working. Jul 10 20:31:59 the IP's configuration is ok, but when I did ping to my laptop.... ping get time out response Jul 10 20:33:20 fiel: Does your laptop ordinarily respond to pings? Jul 10 20:34:22 agmlego: yes... my problem is the configuration net on my beaglebone Jul 10 20:35:51 agmlego: I changed the "/etc/network/interfaces" file on my beaglebone Jul 10 20:36:22 with a static IP, dinamic IP... and my beagle can't suf Jul 10 20:36:24 with a static IP, dinamic IP... and my beagle can't surf Jul 10 20:36:26 Are you using the Ethernet port, or the USB-Ethernet device? Jul 10 20:36:33 ethernet port Jul 10 20:36:52 Why not just use a DHCP lease then? Or is the LAN not set up for DHCP? Jul 10 20:38:02 yes... I tried with DHCP too... but does not work.... Jul 10 20:38:39 How does it not work? Does it fail to get a lease? Does it get a lease but has no route? Does it get a lease and route but no DNS? Jul 10 20:39:52 agmlego: i don't know what is the problem.... Jul 10 20:40:55 ... Jul 10 20:41:03 Then how do you know it is not working? Jul 10 20:41:59 because I can't suf on my beaglebone... Jul 10 20:42:04 because I can't surf on my beaglebone... Jul 10 20:42:29 How are you trying to "surf"? Jul 10 20:42:34 I mean... i can't use network services.... Jul 10 20:42:37 Are you using Firefox? elinks? Jul 10 20:42:49 OK, what types of network services are you trying to use? Jul 10 20:42:53 yes... ssh, ping, telnet... Jul 10 20:43:15 OK. So, do you get an IP address from the router if you use DHCP? Jul 10 20:43:27 (also known as a DHCP lease) Jul 10 20:44:18 agmlego: yes, I tried to configure static an dinamic IP address Jul 10 20:44:44 You mentioned that. When you used a dynamic setup, did you successfully get an IP address from the router? Jul 10 20:44:56 nop Jul 10 20:44:59 OK. Jul 10 20:45:09 Is the router set up to assign IP addresses dynamically? Jul 10 20:45:19 yes... Jul 10 20:45:29 hey, just checking. Jul 10 20:45:44 OK, did you try changing ethernet cables? Jul 10 20:46:07 agmlego: .... yes... Jul 10 20:46:09 When you plug the cable into the bone and into the router, does the link light go on at each end? Jul 10 20:46:35 yes.... Jul 10 20:46:55 OK, pastebin the results of 'dhclient eth0' Jul 10 20:47:06 ok... Jul 10 20:52:50 agmlego: http://pastebin.com/GGnhqQR8 Jul 10 20:56:01 asd Jul 10 20:56:16 sorry Jul 10 21:04:28 agmlego: are you here? Jul 10 21:13:21 What isthe power consumption of the beagleboard-xm and beaglebone? Jul 10 21:23:55 bornpilot: Very low. Jul 10 21:24:05 fiel: Yeah, sorry, had a meeting I needed to go to. Jul 10 21:24:10 * agmlego is at work still. :-/ Jul 10 21:25:02 fiel: OK, so, that shows that you are getting an IP address of 192.168.1.1. Jul 10 21:25:11 Er, 192.168.1.4 Jul 10 21:25:22 So, you have an IP address. Jul 10 21:25:33 Can you ping your router at 192.168.1.1 Jul 10 21:25:35 ? Jul 10 21:27:04 yea thinking the beaglebone might not be powerful enough for my application. :/ Jul 10 21:27:58 agmelo: into my beagle, ping does not response... Jul 10 21:27:58 KeatonT: What are you doing? Jul 10 21:28:10 agmlego a smarthome system. Jul 10 21:28:18 Really wanted the bone to be the main controller. Jul 10 21:28:36 KeatonT: And in what way is the bone not powerful enough? Jul 10 21:29:06 but when it comes to trying to host a web service, doing data storage and attempting to also analyze the data things start to slow down. Jul 10 21:29:38 In the current setup it seems that attempting to run a full blow mysql server is too much. Jul 10 21:29:51 agmlego: when I tried to restart the networking... I get back this: Jul 10 21:29:57 Once the database is decently large quires start to take forever. Jul 10 21:30:06 KeatonT: MySQL ius pretty heavy. Did you try alternate engines, like postgreSQL? Jul 10 21:30:13 sending discover... sending discover... No lease, failing Jul 10 21:30:24 agmlego not yet. Jul 10 21:30:32 fiel: But you *just ran* dhclient, and got a lease, yes? Why are you restarting networking? Jul 10 21:30:33 I was going to give sqlite a shot first. Jul 10 21:31:13 KeatonT: SQLite can be slower than full engines, but might work better in this case. Jul 10 21:31:36 The idea with sqlite was to split everything up into smaller files. Jul 10 21:32:22 Yeah. Jul 10 21:32:36 You think postgreSQL would be lighter Jul 10 21:33:15
