Sep 07 03:25:34 looking for a good howto Sep 07 03:32:57 is there a way to make the cape manager print useful failure messages? Sep 07 03:33:07 i'me trying to load an overlay and all i'm getting is Sep 07 03:33:22 "bone-capemgr bone_capemgr.8: failed to load firmware 'AQ-PRU-DEBUG-00A0.dtbo'" Sep 07 04:04:41 yes, the capes do Sep 07 04:04:47 thats becasue they are not widely manfauctured Sep 07 04:04:52 and they are not subsidized by TI Sep 07 04:55:17 mrpackethead: what do you mean the capes do? Sep 07 04:55:29 the capes have no part in slot loading, except initiating it. Sep 07 05:19:09 I wanna install opkg gdbserver for the armv7a architecture do anyone have a pointer from where I can download package or a repo or console command ? Sep 07 05:20:29 angstrom? Sep 07 05:20:39 opkg install gdbserver Sep 07 05:20:40 :P Sep 07 05:21:28 nomel : tried that one but giving Unkonw pakges 'gdbserver' . ny other ? Sep 07 05:22:31 opkg list gdbserver Sep 07 05:22:43 are you running angstrom? Sep 07 05:23:42 nomel : yes I m running angstrom Sep 07 05:24:45 did opkg list gdbserver show anything? Sep 07 05:25:34 it showed nothing bt didnt give any error .. wht does it mean? Sep 07 05:26:24 I hv loaded simple image from narcissus Sep 07 05:26:45 means without additional packges Sep 07 05:30:15 nomel: we can't talk to you any more Sep 07 05:30:21 because you are an angstrom lover Sep 07 05:40:47 nomel: do u have any link from which I can download this package because my target ethernet is having some problem Sep 07 05:42:53 mrpakethead: what do u love thn ? Sep 07 05:45:06 nilking try opkg list gdb* Sep 07 05:46:56 nilking: http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/ Sep 07 05:47:26 nilking: i've never installed a package from a downloaded file with opkg, so you'll have to look that up. Sep 07 05:48:27 nilking: i'm assuming you'll have tell opkg about that feed Sep 07 06:05:30 i am serching tht I'll tell you Sep 07 06:26:38 nomel Sep 07 06:26:52 nomel: http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/core/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/base/ is a link Sep 07 06:37:11 don't go adding feeds Sep 07 06:37:20 just do 'opkg update ; opkg install gdbserver' Sep 07 06:38:44 * nomel assumed he did update. :-| Sep 07 06:44:17 just figured out my pru problems were from uio_pruss not being compatible with old pruss driver! Sep 07 06:45:29 i assumed it went with the whole "kernel code shouldn't break existing user code" :-| Sep 07 06:47:08 i can only assume i'm wrong. Sep 07 06:47:42 nomel: the "old" version you used was in 3.2-evil-TI-vendor-tree Sep 07 06:47:52 a different version was submitted upstream Sep 07 06:47:54 ahhh Sep 07 06:48:02 that's sane then. Sep 07 06:48:21 but you're still correct that that shouldn't have happened :) Sep 07 08:46:23 koen: opkg update will update all packages ? I m asking because I hv an image with no additional packages Sep 07 08:56:22 nilking: it won't, it will only refresh the package list on the server Sep 07 08:56:32 'opkg upgrade' will try to upgrade packages Sep 07 09:22:54 koen: i am trying to go for remote debugging. wht other packages it will b needed? Sep 07 09:24:28 dunno, last time I used remote debugging was like 6 years ago :) Sep 07 09:24:42 and I only used remote debugging because my avr32 board only had 8MB of ram Sep 07 09:25:08 ;) Sep 07 09:26:38 nyways got gdbserver Sep 07 10:54:43 <_av500_> ahoi Sep 07 10:55:01 ahoihoi Sep 07 10:58:25 _av500_: small ping Sep 07 11:03:50 <_av500_> jo Sep 07 11:04:05 the RNDIS devices have specific vid/pid ? Sep 07 11:04:05 _av500_: what's cookin? Sep 07 11:04:14 to identify them as RNDIS ? Sep 07 11:04:24 prpplague: his lunch, probably. Sep 07 11:04:36 or the kernel just chooses to send a RNDIS packet to them, not checking the vid/pid ? Sep 07 11:04:38 prpplague: got the tracking id, thanks a lot! :) Sep 07 11:06:17 <_av500_> vvu|Log: no idea Sep 07 11:06:23 eh i will test now Sep 07 11:06:25 <_av500_> doubt its specific vid/pid Sep 07 11:06:26 <_av500_> vid is vendor ID Sep 07 11:06:37 <_av500_> PID is free for the vendor to chose Sep 07 11:06:50 i want to modify SPL to have some pid and u-boot another pid because by default they have the same Sep 07 11:06:51 <_av500_> prpplague: nuthin' Sep 07 11:06:54 <_av500_> no tracking id Sep 07 11:07:01 <_av500_> vvu|Log: sure Sep 07 11:07:11 <_av500_> its all SW Sep 07 11:07:34 also BBB android works with the project just some small bugs which i will get rid of Sep 07 11:07:39 so we are covered there :) Sep 07 11:07:53 <_av500_> good Sep 07 11:08:04 something else except this you want for the final evaluation? Sep 07 11:08:04 <_av500_> vvu|Log: maybe we can chain boot them Sep 07 11:08:09 chain boot ? Sep 07 11:08:15 <_av500_> install android on one, then connect a chain of BBBs to that Sep 07 11:08:23 <_av500_> each one boots from the previous, isntalls android etc Sep 07 11:08:36 <_av500_> in a circle Sep 07 11:08:38 mhmhmh Sep 07 11:08:42 <_av500_> circleboot Sep 07 11:08:55 sounds interesting but i would need another BBB to firmly check if it works Sep 07 11:09:06 <_av500_> no worries Sep 07 11:09:16 <_av500_> lets get the other stuff first Sep 07 11:09:20 but i don`t think i can finish this until 16th Sep 07 11:16:59 _av500_: but how can i make android on boot to start an app ? Sep 07 11:17:11 i`m just curious now Sep 07 11:17:34 <_av500_> oh Sep 07 11:17:48 <_av500_> dont know without googling :) Sep 07 11:17:51 <_av500_> if its a service, it should start Sep 07 11:18:07 i`m so lost in android programming, i did it like it was c++ :) Sep 07 11:18:20 <_av500_> its all the same Sep 07 11:18:37 now i`m having a pure java coruse at university Sep 07 11:19:01 also i convinced the people from networking research group to switch to BBB instead of rPI :) Sep 07 11:19:15 <_av500_> good Sep 07 11:19:24 <_av500_> ask koen for 5% of the ales Sep 07 11:19:27 <_av500_> sales Sep 07 11:19:31 :)) Sep 07 11:19:56 5% of the ales would be acceptable as well Sep 07 11:20:02 especially IPAs Sep 07 11:20:05 <_av500_> true Sep 07 11:20:06 i just wish my project to be used a bit...until now i`m the only one using it :) Sep 07 11:20:16 koen: found the define which is set :) Sep 07 11:22:52 hello, how to connect Touch panel to Beaglebone-XM Sep 07 11:25:54 with wires Sep 07 11:38:17 while downloading the different packages at my target beagleboard for angstrom I am getting this msg "wget: bad address 'feeds.angstom-distribution.org' wht is the problem ? " Sep 07 11:38:23 shall I try repo ? Sep 07 11:43:12 start by meditating over spilt milk Sep 07 11:47:25 KotH: can u help me on this ? Sep 07 11:48:08 you should meditate longer, you cannot expect to reach satori within 5 minutes Sep 07 12:05:49 * kblin pokes his A6 beagle Sep 07 12:05:56 er, B6 Sep 07 12:10:20 I seem to have lost the USB OTG port Sep 07 12:10:47 the driver is loading, so the chip is still detected at least Sep 07 12:12:01 but I can't seem to find the USB hub connected via a mini-A to mini-B cable Sep 07 12:12:37 I also seem to be able to power the board via the OTG port, so at least not all the contacts are shot Sep 07 12:12:59 any hints on how to debug this? Sep 07 12:13:59 I've already tried a different cable setup, with a mini-A to female-A, and A to mini-B setup, but that didn't change anything Sep 07 12:15:06 have look at the kernel logs on both the beagle and the host Sep 07 12:15:25 KotH: yeah, what am I looking for? Sep 07 12:15:27 if they dont tell you anything, you should connect a beagle480 and see what's going on on the bus Sep 07 12:15:35 any message that looks suspicious ;) Sep 07 12:15:42 right Sep 07 12:15:43 or missing message Sep 07 12:16:03 something like not being able to enumerate, connection lost, etc pp Sep 07 12:16:07 I don't see a big difference compared to the c2 beagle that's working Sep 07 12:16:29 well, start at the small differences and work your way up from there Sep 07 12:16:47 anyways.. gtg.. have to buy chocolate Sep 07 12:16:57 should the beagle show up in lsusb when connected to my PC via a usb cable? Sep 07 12:17:02 if so, it isn't Sep 07 12:17:48 the last dmesg entry on my host is from attaching the USB-serial converter Sep 07 12:22:04 ok, there's an obvious difference where on the C2, I'm able to use the ehci USB ports to connect my USB hub, which doesn't work on the B6, obviously Sep 07 12:24:15 other than that, no obvious difference Sep 07 12:29:51 hmm, that's not in dmesg, but looks suspicious: "musb-omap2430 musb-omap2430: invalid resource" Sep 07 12:46:26 any idea how can i enable adb over ethernet when it boots on the TI Android ? now i need to serial to it then setprop the thing Sep 07 13:20:30 oh well, I guess it's dead Sep 07 13:31:34 Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with a u-boot.bin for a Beaglebone black? Sep 07 13:32:24 <_av500_> help how? Sep 07 13:32:51 Well is the bdinfo's Arch_Number held in the u-boot.bin? Sep 07 14:01:00 Jonnyw2k, beaglebone black is using device tree. Sep 07 14:02:46 morning Sep 07 14:03:21 has anyone here setup a bb/bbb as a nas ? Sep 07 14:05:27 some misguided individual probably has Sep 07 14:06:51 might chuck my BBB out the window :( Sep 07 14:07:21 where's your window? Sep 07 14:07:32 in case someone wants to catch it Sep 07 14:07:54 It has no uSD slot, and i've corrupted the u-boot on the eMMC :( Sep 07 14:08:13 if it doesn't have a uSD slot, it's not a bbb Sep 07 14:08:28 it came with a uSD slot, it just uhmmm... fell off? Sep 07 14:08:50 after you poked it with a soldering iron? Sep 07 14:08:58 you can reload the emmc Sep 07 14:09:18 I'm trying to boot from a USB Sep 07 14:09:43 what img Sep 07 14:10:13 but the bdinfo is saying my arch_number is 0x00000E05, and the kernel won't boot as it's not 0xFFFFFFFF Sep 07 14:10:34 ive got the angstrom eMMC flasher Sep 07 14:10:47 https://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/wheezy/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.1-2013-08-26.img.xz Sep 07 14:10:52 try that one Sep 07 14:11:57 you have the usb debug cable ? Sep 07 14:12:04 how would I go about changing the bdinfo? I assume I need to replace the u-boot.bin in NAND Sep 07 14:12:25 its not nand its emmc diff beast Sep 07 14:12:25 yeah I can get to U-Boot# Sep 07 14:12:36 I thought it was 2 stage Sep 07 14:12:46 and the first part was stored on the ARM chip somewhere Sep 07 14:12:52 uboot lives on a vfat Sep 07 14:12:57 which it then looks to the eMMC Sep 07 14:13:04 ok Sep 07 14:13:18 let me double read I thought it was just emmc Sep 07 14:13:19 the rom loader runs first Sep 07 14:13:55 and the way you boot is load a micro sd and insert and hole the boot button and hit the reboot button Sep 07 14:14:16 ok Sep 07 14:15:22 no uSD slot... it fell off! I'll try booting it from usb Sep 07 14:16:18 wow Sep 07 14:16:34 how did the slot fall off Sep 07 14:16:53 sounds more like its a clone that just does not have the slot ;) Sep 07 14:16:59 get some solider paste and reattach it Sep 07 14:17:07 yeah Sep 07 14:17:52 as far as I know the u-boot in the bbb does not have usb in it Sep 07 14:18:07 I want to get uboot built and installed that supports usb boot Sep 07 14:18:21 but you will need the usb debug cable Sep 07 14:18:32 to do all the work Sep 07 14:19:01 http://i.imgur.com/rFTnosj.jpg Sep 07 14:19:04 I got the case for my bone Sep 07 14:19:10 thats what it started like Sep 07 14:19:15 then it fell off Sep 07 14:20:00 http://www.logicsupply.com/products/bb100 Sep 07 14:20:25 too late now :( Sep 07 14:20:31 well get some solider paste and a solidering iron and re attach it Sep 07 14:20:44 Jonnyw2k: umm... why did you not just RMA it when it arrived? Sep 07 14:20:55 Laziness? Sep 07 14:21:14 how long have you had it Sep 07 14:21:25 if under 30 days you can rma Sep 07 14:21:31 i had it a while Sep 07 14:21:48 well get the case to protect the next board you order Sep 07 14:21:57 i just wiped the dust of it the other day as i found my debug cable so I thought I would try and fix it! Sep 07 14:22:23 with it hooked to the debug cable you cant get it to boot Sep 07 14:22:43 and then use uboot to tftp load a kernell Sep 07 14:23:26 i can load the kernel of a usb... just all the 3.8 kernells expect the bdinfo to be 0xFFFFFFFF Sep 07 14:24:17 then use the cf setup img but use a usb drive Sep 07 14:24:27 if you can get ti to read from a usb Sep 07 14:24:44 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian Sep 07 14:24:53 try folowing this Sep 07 14:25:14 and inste dof using a use a usb drive insted of a mmc Sep 07 14:26:06 we need to document how to boot from a usb and setup uboot to try usb first ext sd 2nd and then the emmc Sep 07 14:26:18 I did it on the dream pkug Sep 07 14:26:22 plug Sep 07 14:26:23 http://pastebin.com/rSdp8Eer Sep 07 14:27:05 Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000e05). Sep 07 14:27:10 thats ugly Sep 07 14:27:16 wrong machine id Sep 07 14:28:31 hmmm Sep 07 14:29:33 if i try "setenv machid 0xffffffff" it just hangs at starting kernel Sep 07 14:29:34 http://pastebin.com/60MkJVBg Sep 07 14:29:50 https://wiki.freebsd.org/DreamPlugBasics Sep 07 14:30:12 thats the page I did for resetting the uboot on the dreamplug Sep 07 14:30:20 we need a page like this Sep 07 14:30:32 I guess I will have to try and do one Sep 07 14:31:27 can I not reload u-boot from inside u-boot? Sep 07 14:32:08 no you have to get it booted then reflash the uboot Sep 07 14:32:22 as you have to mount the partition Sep 07 14:33:14 i meant reboot a different u-boot Sep 07 14:33:31 so point it to the u-boot on the USB drive Sep 07 14:37:37 I thought thats what the boot button was for Sep 07 14:37:52 but it might only work on sd Sep 07 14:38:08 you might be able to send the board back and have thenm fix it Sep 07 14:38:16 I am reading on the uboot Sep 07 14:39:19 I would get into mine but I am building pkgs at the min on it Sep 07 14:39:26 for freeswitch.. Sep 07 14:39:45 trying to turn this one into a mini home pbx Sep 07 14:42:54 ahh cool, I don't have any plans for mine yet... apart from get it working lol Sep 07 14:44:00 RMA Support If you feel the board is defective and you want to get it looked at go to RMA Request You will need the serial number. It is located on the expansion header in the form of a white label. We only accept RMA requests for those boards purchased through authorized BeagleBoard.org distributors. You can find a list of authorized distributors on the buy pages at BeagleBoard.org If you purchase a board from an unauthorized Sep 07 14:44:32 http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoneBlack Sep 07 14:44:36 very bottom Sep 07 14:45:14 Optional JTAG There is no JTAG over USB support on the BeagleBone Black. The BeagleBone Black is different than the BeagleBone. JTAG is an uninstalled option. To install the JTAG header, all you have to do is install P2 on the back of the board. P2 is a Samtec FTR-110-03-G-D-06 connector and can be purchased from Samtec or any of their distributors. Sep 07 14:45:24 there is the option to fix the unit Sep 07 14:45:37 you have to add on the jtag to fix it I believe Sep 07 14:48:04 man it looks liek most the capes are for the bb not the bbb Sep 07 14:48:09 Jonnyw2k: you can load a different u-boot from u-boot and just jump to its location in memory to run it Sep 07 14:48:19 Jonnyw2k: I do not have exact instructions how to do it though Sep 07 14:49:00 XorA: why the hell not Sep 07 14:49:02 ???? Sep 07 14:49:10 XorA: is lrg going to be around for elce? Sep 07 14:49:22 prpplague: coz the last time I had to do that was OpenMoko GTA01 :-) Sep 07 14:49:31 XorA: hehe Sep 07 14:49:38 XorA: that's no excuse Sep 07 14:49:41 prpplague: he will be in town, I think he plans to attend Sep 07 14:49:52 XorA: playing with pmics have rotted your brain Sep 07 14:49:54 prpplague: Ive just got funding approved to actually attend Sep 07 14:50:00 XorA: ahh dandy Sep 07 14:50:01 XorA: what you just said is pretty much exact steps Sep 07 14:50:21 1) load it, 2) jump to it Sep 07 14:50:28 mru: what even without youtube video? Sep 07 14:51:20 prpplague: quit panicking we will find you beer :-D Sep 07 14:53:22 anyone know the jump command? Sep 07 14:53:43 XorA: hehe Sep 07 14:54:11 XorA: beer and a quiet pub Sep 07 14:54:25 XorA: *cough* with interesting barmaids Sep 07 14:55:01 linux hacker barmaids, now that is a tall order! Sep 07 14:55:19 I've had a cunning plan! Sep 07 14:56:02 it appears its only since 3.8 Kernels that you need the 0xFFFFFFFF machine ID. So i will use an old beaglebone white image with a pre 3.8 kernel and try and boot from that Sep 07 14:57:01 Jonnyw2k: appending the DTB to the kernel should take care of that issue Sep 07 14:57:21 how do I "append" a DTB :/ Sep 07 14:57:41 fatload usb 0:1 ${loadaddr} /zImage; fatload usb 0:1 ${fdtaddr} /dtbs/am335x-bone.dtb; bootz Sep 07 14:57:50 unlesss my "fdtaddr" is wrong Sep 07 14:58:18 bootz ${loadaddr} - ${ftdaddr} Sep 07 14:58:27 ahhhh Sep 07 14:58:35 dont forget the - its important Sep 07 14:59:05 otherwise you can actually append it to the zImage in the kernel built Sep 07 14:59:23 make zImage-am335x-done.dtb (or something like that) Sep 07 14:59:35 for bootloaders not supported DTB loading Sep 07 15:00:23 :( didn't make any difference Sep 07 15:00:33 does it work with uImage aswell? Sep 07 15:00:40 yes Sep 07 15:00:58 xora you know the page for all the commands ? Sep 07 15:00:58 let me try a different kernel then Sep 07 15:01:33 I want to redo the u-boot to look at the usb first then the onboard sd adn the the emmc Sep 07 15:02:54 http://pastebin.com/52KMpfyP <- same issue with the bootm ${loadaddr} - ${ftdaddr} Sep 07 15:12:21 ITS ALIVE!

Sep 07 15:19:34 yeah Sep 07 15:19:38 the machine ID issue... Sep 07 15:20:27 ok Sep 07 15:21:42 not sure but you should be able to use the bbb scipt Sep 07 15:22:04 why not download an sd card image from http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/ ? Sep 07 15:22:12 yeha thats the plan Sep 07 15:22:16 both white and black will boot from the same sd card Sep 07 15:22:32 im going to right the SD card immage to the eMMC Sep 07 15:22:46 4GB peg, 2GB hole Sep 07 15:22:47 won't work Sep 07 15:23:33 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/tools/blob/master/scripts/beaglebone-black-copy-microSD-to-eMMC.sh Sep 07 15:23:47 then basicly make your sd into 2 parts Sep 07 15:23:50 your usb Sep 07 15:23:57 make a 2 gig partition Sep 07 15:24:17 only other way is to netboot and netload Sep 07 15:25:03 the issue is... Sep 07 15:25:19 if I copy this accross to my eMMC i still wont be able to boot 3.8 kernels Sep 07 15:27:59 why is this terminal soooo slow? Sep 07 15:29:42 http://s3.armhf.com/debian/precise/bone/ubuntu-precise-12.04.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz I'm planning on flashing that to my eMMC when I get a chance Sep 07 15:30:53 ok Sep 07 15:30:59 reading the manual Sep 07 15:31:32 if you have the usb to ttl cable connected Sep 07 15:31:50 and you use the boot buttom you can tell it to boot usb Sep 07 15:32:07 how? Sep 07 15:32:10 the a52 Sep 07 15:32:18 is the manual I have Sep 07 15:32:28 trying to pull th e info Sep 07 15:33:41 with otu a sd installed... plug in a usb drive hold down the boot button Sep 07 15:33:48 and boot the board Sep 07 15:34:23 but the usb drive has to be a bootable img Sep 07 15:35:11 how long was I meant to hold down the boot button for? Sep 07 15:35:28 they dont say Sep 07 15:35:41 but it seems while it goes throu the boot process Sep 07 15:35:57 its just printing C's on the screen Sep 07 15:36:00 you have to have the cable connected to the onboard serial port and monitor the boot Sep 07 15:36:33 thats what im doing Sep 07 15:36:44 but all i get from the boot is "C" every second Sep 07 15:37:22 As mentioned earlier, there are four boot modes:  eMMC Boot…This is the default boot mode and will allow for the fastest boot time and will enable the board to boot out of the box using the pre-flashed OS image without having to purchase an SD card or an SD card writer.  SD Boot…This mode will boot from the uSD slot. This mode can be used to override what is on the eMMC device and can be used to program the eMMC when used Sep 07 15:37:37 sorry just posting info not flooding Sep 07 15:38:22 thast all the manual says Sep 07 15:39:11 its trying to boot from UART0 apparently Sep 07 15:40:40 its all the manual says Sep 07 15:40:58 can only pass what I find Sep 07 15:41:34 Holding the boot switch down during boot without a SD card inserted will force the boot source to be the USB port and if nothing is detected on the USB client port, it will go to the serial port for download Sep 07 15:42:04 that means the img on the usb drive is not setup correctly I guess Sep 07 15:42:51 hmmm Sep 07 15:42:54 now I whish my case had buttons included Sep 07 15:43:09 to make selecting these options Sep 07 15:43:12 so... anyone got the u-boot.bin for beaglebone Sep 07 15:43:51 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_U-Boot_User%27s_Guide#Boot_Over_UART Sep 07 15:44:44 well why not make a usb drive Sep 07 15:44:50 there is a simple how to Sep 07 15:45:19 im pretty sure my USB drive is ok :( Sep 07 15:45:24 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian Sep 07 15:46:02 you need a linux box Sep 07 15:46:13 Jonnyw2k: maybe the solder issues on your board go further than just the uSD slot? Sep 07 15:46:13 and then its easy to build a usb with uboot on it Sep 07 15:46:29 if you follow the how to Sep 07 15:47:01 I used this to make a sd that boots Sep 07 15:47:09 and they say it should work on usb also Sep 07 15:47:16 hmmm Sep 07 15:47:47 pretty sure my boards fine, I can boot of usb... just a little tempramental running an A3 BB White image Sep 07 15:48:25 well if you build the usb like i am saying and try it we might get further Sep 07 15:48:33 bbiab laundry Sep 07 15:50:05 the USB didnt even light up Sep 07 15:50:20 which idnicates it wasn't being read Sep 07 15:51:14 The beaglebone has a hard wired boot order of mmc0 -> spi0 -> uart0 -> usb0. That means it tries mmc first. If no bootable image is found it tries spi. If no bootable image is found it tries uart (which is when you see the CCC) and finally usb. For some reason when you are trying to boot from mmc the boot rom doesn't think your image is bootable. Sep 07 15:53:48 Holding the boot switch down during boot without a SD card inserted will force the boot source to be the USB port and if nothing is detected on the USB client port, it will go to the serial port for download Sep 07 15:53:56 but thats what the manusl says Sep 07 15:54:47 maybe they made the change on the new board Sep 07 15:54:56 what ver of the board do you have Sep 07 15:55:00 A5A Sep 07 15:55:47 why did they have to change the silly machine ID's :( Sep 07 15:56:03 probably be easier to recompile a kernel with the right machine ID lol Sep 07 15:56:37 Jonnyw2k: machine ID for what? Sep 07 15:56:55 my uboot is reporting my BBB machine ID as E05 Sep 07 15:57:16 but in 3.8 it got flattened to 0xFFFFFFFF for generic omap devices Sep 07 15:58:03 that is because 3.8 uses device tree Sep 07 15:58:39 so DTB files should work? Sep 07 16:27:52 what does an MLO file do? Sep 07 16:30:36 MLO is a first stage bootloader Sep 07 16:30:51 ahh fair enough Sep 07 16:31:08 it looks like my u-boot is alright on my eMMC Sep 07 16:31:09 it sets up the clocks, ram memory and other things then loads u-boot which is a second stage bootloade *not an expert in this area but this is what i know* Sep 07 16:31:23 i just cant boot from the u-boot# prompt Sep 07 16:31:40 so u-boot does not find the uImage Sep 07 16:31:42 i think so Sep 07 16:31:52 if you issue bootm command what do u see ? Sep 07 16:33:16 can't get kernel image Sep 07 16:33:27 do u have a good uImage on the eMMC ? Sep 07 16:33:32 if I load it manually, it does take the dtb file propperly Sep 07 17:47:29 I'm getting there! Sep 07 17:51:22 glad to hear Sep 07 17:51:31 it wont boot from USB! Sep 07 17:51:34 12 hours into my pkg build Sep 07 17:51:38 ? Sep 07 17:51:47 hmmm Sep 07 17:51:57 [ 17.307594] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Sep 07 17:52:02 ok well I will have to test mine when it finishes Sep 07 17:52:16 it wont mount the USB as it doesnt think theres enough power :/ Sep 07 17:52:16 ok Sep 07 17:52:59 rather than using the env for loadaddr and ftdaddr i just manually typed them in Sep 07 17:53:16 sorry not 12 but 8 hours Sep 07 17:53:22 and its still running Sep 07 17:53:26 good sign Sep 07 17:53:36 ok Sep 07 17:54:50 well i bet you could ship the board back and get it fixed Sep 07 17:55:50 in the future Sep 07 17:55:58 good luck today thou Sep 07 17:56:06 hope you get the emmc working Sep 07 17:59:21 ive booted off emmc now Sep 07 17:59:38 I just still cant boot of usb, might try a different image Sep 07 18:00:41 urghh I need to replace my u-boot.img now lol Sep 07 18:00:53 its the boot part that is messed up Sep 07 18:01:11 luckily u-boot is still intact Sep 07 18:04:31 right ive boot of usb now lol Sep 07 18:09:22 mmcblk0 <- is that the eMMC? Sep 07 18:10:37 xz -cd ubuntu-precise-12.04.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone20.img.xz > /dev/mmcblk0 Sep 07 18:12:07 I believe so Sep 07 18:12:33 why go ubuntu Sep 07 18:12:40 I like deb better Sep 07 18:12:57 but thats a img file Sep 07 18:13:05 you have to dd it to the drive Sep 07 18:13:17 you have to unzip the img and use dd Sep 07 18:20:34 its booted!
