Aug 15 06:17:13 <_av500_> ds2: take your pills
Aug 15 06:20:35 <ds2> _av500_: I am not in .nl :P
Aug 15 06:21:42 <mranostay> whoa unicorns everywhere
Aug 15 06:22:01 <ds2> mranostay: getting the good stuff? :D
Aug 15 06:22:14 <mranostay> whoa talking unicorns everywhere
Aug 15 09:04:22 <DonCabrera> someone here?
Aug 15 09:15:45 <av500> no
Aug 15 09:29:53 <orated> Hello! I'm using BeagleBoard XM and would like to know find technical documents related to ARM and DSP chip used in the board. CP
Aug 15 09:30:21 <orated> U is DM3730 and DSP is TM320C64x but when I was finding the ARM docs
Aug 15 09:31:37 <orated> the ARM processor is Cortex A8 and finding more about it says ARMv7-A Cortex .. so for what exact version for ARM, I am supposed to find the techinal/user/reference manual?
Aug 15 09:32:01 <orated> I'm bit confused with the naming convention ARM uses
Aug 15 09:33:36 <av500> yes, the DM3730 has a cortex A8 inside
Aug 15 09:33:49 <av500> one is the SoC name, the other the CPU core name
Aug 15 09:34:07 <av500> there is also a DSP, this one from TI, not ARM
Aug 15 09:34:25 <av500> the Cortex A8 is a ARMv7-A architecture
Aug 15 09:37:33 <orated> ARMv7-A follwing ARM{x}{y}{z} processing numbering?Then what about lebel attributes it uses for naming like DEFIJM-S or T? Like ARM7 processor core in ARM processor numbering is ARM7TDMI ..
Aug 15 09:38:02 <mru> what I'd like to know is how arm naming is any more confusing than intel's rickety bridge and whatnot
Aug 15 09:40:05 <av500> Sandy Toes
Aug 15 09:40:24 <orated> I usually search for ARM SRM(System reference manual), TRM(Technical) and UM(User) for ARM product I'd like to know. Now for finding about ARM in BB, I'm stuck with what exactly to look for
Aug 15 09:40:40 <mru> orated: infocenter.arm.com
Aug 15 09:40:43 <av500> orated: the ARM webiste has Cortex A8 information
Aug 15 09:40:46 <orated> Yes, I've been there
Aug 15 09:40:54 <mru> it's all there
Aug 15 09:41:04 <koen> mru: it's fun to look at a map of the portland, OR region and see all those intel codenames
Aug 15 09:41:35 <koen> I don't know how to map the name to the processor, but it is fun to see :)
Aug 15 09:41:38 <mru> koen: sure, but is a nehalem better than a penryn?
Aug 15 09:41:48 <mru> there's no fucking way of even making a guess
Aug 15 09:42:06 <mru> the arm processors are numbered
Aug 15 09:42:09 <mru> higher number => better
Aug 15 09:42:53 <mru> vN means architecture version, just N means implementation version
Aug 15 09:42:54 <janne> cortex-a7
Aug 15 09:42:56 <mru> very simple
Aug 15 09:43:06 <mru> janne: what of it?
Aug 15 09:43:12 <av500> is it better than A8?
Aug 15 09:43:41 <mru> it's quite close
Aug 15 09:43:52 <mru> slightly better in some ways, slightly worse in others
Aug 15 09:43:53 <janne> depends
Aug 15 09:44:02 <mru> neon is horrible
Aug 15 09:44:08 <av500> mru: you can always apply the bible code to intel names
Aug 15 09:44:33 <mru> but overall, it's pretty close, as the name implies
Aug 15 09:44:50 <mru> the a5 is without doubt a weaker core
Aug 15 10:36:41 <hk> anybody home?
Aug 15 10:52:14 <av500> no
Aug 15 13:49:39 <koen> prpplague: my gf approves of the flyswatter2 colour scheme
Aug 15 13:52:30 <prpplague> koen: hehe
Aug 15 13:57:44 <wmat> "it's not easy being green"
Aug 15 15:28:50 <jkridner_uofm> koen: what is the target for kernel-headers?
Aug 15 17:54:12 <Phasip> (Beagle xM Rev C) I followed http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/BeagleBoardDiagnosticsNext#The_setup , and I am not getting any serial output nor audio output, don't have any monitor, should it automatically play a sound at boot or is the serial only bad?
Aug 15 18:41:41 <veneco> hi
Aug 15 18:43:56 <veneco> is possible to use touchscreen support  from beaglebone LCD7 with ubuntu 12.04 gnueabihf?
Aug 15 18:53:07 <Iroquois_Pliskin> hello, does anybody know where I can find a good sample code between the beagleboard and an ADC.  Specifically reading voltage, thank you.
Aug 15 18:54:51 <prpplague> Iroquois_Pliskin: most of the popular adc's are supported in mainline kernel
Aug 15 18:55:16 <prpplague> Iroquois_Pliskin: you simply need to enable the driver and the sysfs entries will be available
Aug 15 18:57:15 <Iroquois_Pliskin> Sorry I am still learning about the beagleboard, so I am trying to learn about SPI and ADC communications for it as well.  Though can you elaborate or show me a few examples of what you are talking about, thank you.
Aug 15 18:58:59 <prpplague> Iroquois_Pliskin: http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/PandaBoard_SPI
Aug 15 19:07:49 <Iroquois_Pliskin> prpplague the pandaboard SPI that should work for beagleboard as well right.  So all I need to do is read from the ADC and have a code to select the right pin?  Sorry If I sound dumb, I am still trying to learn this
Aug 15 19:08:33 <spacecolonyone> has anyone managed to the the system time on the BBxM working from the rtc? I've been working on this for a few months on and off and haven't had complete success yet
Aug 15 19:09:16 <spacecolonyone> I've got the rtc running and --hctosys works, but not during boot
Aug 15 19:10:02 <koen_> you need to add a battery for it to keep time
Aug 15 19:10:05 <spacecolonyone> as best I can tell rtc0 is getting registered AFTER hctosys is attempted, which explains why it fails
Aug 15 19:10:35 <spacecolonyone> yea, I got all that jazz, along with a kernel patch to enable charging
Aug 15 19:11:01 <spacecolonyone> the rtc keeps time, just the sysstem fails to grab the time from the rtc during boot
Aug 15 19:11:40 <koen> set the kernel config to Y instead of M
Aug 15 19:11:57 * spacecolonyone looks
Aug 15 19:12:05 <koen> it's M so ds1307 can load before it and become rtc0 :)
Aug 15 19:12:17 * koen hugs the zippy expansionboards
Aug 15 19:13:37 <spacecolonyone> yea, that sounds like the solution I'll try it next time I rebuild
Aug 15 19:14:16 <spacecolonyone> koen, do you recall if the ups is in the usbhid in Angstrom?
Aug 15 19:14:57 <spacecolonyone> It may be I just need to look in my kernel config for it as well, but the batterybackup isn't recognized properly
Aug 15 19:16:03 <spacecolonyone> I think the message that I keep seeing when I plug it in is: usbhid: exports duplicate symbol hiddev_hid_event (owned by kernel)
Aug 15 19:20:45 <joelagnel> hi koen
Aug 15 19:20:53 <joelagnel> what is the need for this change in one of  your audio patches?
Aug 15 19:20:55 <joelagnel> -#define AIC3X_NUM_SUPPLIES     4
Aug 15 19:20:55 <joelagnel> +#define AIC3X_NUM_SUPPLIES     0
Aug 15 19:35:37 <prpplague> mru: <janelwang> I'd like to make games with Python
Aug 15 19:41:18 <_av500_> the only way to win is not to play
Aug 15 19:44:56 <mikej61> seems Im the only one here
Aug 15 19:44:57 <mikej61> nope a crowd just arrived
Aug 15 19:45:31 <mikej61> is anyone having problems with the direct power not working?
Aug 15 19:45:41 <mikej61> usb is working
Aug 15 19:46:39 <prpplague> mikej61: as there are a wide number of boards discussed here, you might start by telling us which board you are using and what kind of conditions you are testing it with.....
Aug 15 19:46:56 <mikej61> its a beaglebone I got today
Aug 15 19:47:42 <thurbad> what're the specs for the barrel connector's supply?
Aug 15 19:47:51 <mikej61> I tried a 5v supply in the right hole but no light comes on, if I plug the usb in then the light does come on
Aug 15 19:48:28 <thurbad> how many milliamps?
Aug 15 19:48:29 <mikej61> 350mA 5v
Aug 15 19:49:11 <mikej61> it does get onto the board, I tried with multimeter
Aug 15 19:49:41 <thurbad> do you have anything with slightly more current?
Aug 15 19:50:13 <mikej61> yep 500mA and that doesnt work either
Aug 15 19:50:50 <mikej61> the only other alternatives are 9v
Aug 15 19:51:23 <thurbad> 500mA should be enough, are you sure of the polarity?
Aug 15 19:53:11 <mikej61> on the 500mA it says it can do both but theres no facility to change it!
Aug 15 19:54:18 <thurbad> does it have a removable tip?
Aug 15 19:54:51 <mikej61> negative in the centre
Aug 15 19:55:27 <mikej61> it does but I dont have the alternatives
Aug 15 19:56:13 <thurbad> with the removable tips generally if you can flip rotate180 degrees and still plug in reverses the polarity
Aug 15 19:56:49 <mikej61> Ive tried that with the 350mA, doesnt make any difference
Aug 15 20:01:32 <mikej61> I thought that if power was put in the then that stopped power being taken from the usb
Aug 15 20:02:40 <mikej61> power is there to the board, just checked again, it is. just doesnt go any further than the connector
Aug 15 20:03:30 <mikej61> I hate things that dont work
Aug 15 20:05:06 <mikej61> bye
Aug 15 20:05:51 <koen> joelagnel: it doesn't work otherwise, the bone boardfile lacks the regulator assignments
Aug 15 20:06:13 <koen> joelagnel: which would be always-on stubs anyway, since there are no sw controlled regulators for the codec
Aug 15 20:24:11 <foobar321> Hi. Does any1 know what should I add to buildroot/busybox to get IP address on my network interface during startup ? I have home LAN router with DHCP server and so on...
Aug 15 22:22:43 <foobar321> Ok. Just add udhcp :)
Aug 16 00:23:57 <kluger> I have a beagle bone with as shipped angstrom installation.  When booting, I notice that several of the GPIO ports have activity on them (GPIO0_04, GPIO0_05, GPIO2_02 and more).  When booted, some of these ports remain "high".  Where can I learn more about this boot behavior?
Aug 16 01:07:47 <ethanh> Is it possible to read ADC input using mmap on /dev/mem?
Aug 16 01:18:08 <ethanh> Anybody know how to read ADC input through /dev/mem with mmap? is it even possible?
Aug 16 01:19:12 <kluger> (answering my own earlier question) Boot process of the beaglebone is covered in the AM335x Technical Reference Manual, last section.
Aug 16 01:27:23 <mranostay> ethanh: why?
Aug 16 01:27:32 <mranostay> use the ainX sysfs files
Aug 16 01:28:13 <ethanh> mranostay: if I hit those files at more than 20hz, they just start reading out all zeros
Aug 16 01:28:36 <ethanh> id like to get the full 100khz sample rate
