**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 17 02:59:58 2013
Oct 17 03:02:49 <shdowhawk> rcn-ee: No idea how to check if the usb bus is built as a module… first time trying to do this and only just started playing with my BBB last week.  I've also never worked with uboot before, so i have no idea how to point my uenv.txt to my /dev/sda1 =/
Oct 17 03:03:46 <rcn-ee> okay, bbb it's enabled by default.. (for the xM/older stuff, well the kernel is a little broken, so it's a module..)
Oct 17 03:04:25 <shdowhawk> ahh, good to know
Oct 17 03:04:49 <rcn-ee> just open uEnv.txt with a text editor, and change [mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk0p2 xyz] to [[mmcroot=/dev/sda1 xyz] done.. If you uEnv.txt doesn't have that... well...
Oct 17 03:05:31 <shdowhawk> it has: "mmcroot /dev/mmcblk1p2" … will try to change that
Oct 17 03:05:44 <rcn-ee> u-boot just loads uEnv.txt and sets those "variables" as written...
Oct 17 03:27:07 <happyGilmorian> is the cheapest way to to do the flashing led projects to buy a beagle bone starter kit or is it cheaper to go to radio shack & buy each part?
Oct 17 03:32:20 <shdowhawk> happyGilmorian: technically there are led's already on the beagle bone that you can flash.  I assume you want to use the gpio slots?
Oct 17 03:34:06 <shdowhawk> rcn-ee: Seems it's still loading off the microSD.  I posted my uEnv and fstab in a paste bin.  mind checking it out and letting me know if you see something screwy?  http://pastebin.com/YFheeeX1
Oct 17 03:35:54 <rcn-ee> ah that image..
Oct 17 03:37:16 <rcn-ee> idk, it's going to take a little bit of work to see what his default u-boot setup is and the right uEnv.txt settings to make it work..  As i run usb/sata drives on my boards, the uEnv.txt is purposely setup to make it really easy with my images, as i need to do it..
Oct 17 03:39:45 <shdowhawk> That was the default uEnv that came with the install for me (minus me changing the root to /dev/sda2).
Oct 17 03:40:23 <happyGilmorian> yeah, but I didn't know I could flash the ones on the board.. u mean the 4?
Oct 17 03:41:56 <shdowhawk> happyGilmorian: yea.  http://beagleboard.org/Support/bone101/    look for the "USR" part…
Oct 17 03:43:30 <happyGilmorian> shdowhawk, :)
Oct 17 03:44:29 <happyGilmorian> shdowhawk, so I'll start with that first, but I still wanna get hands on with the electronic / hardware part & keep building up. Is it best to just buy the starter kit & get an extra bbb? I couldn't find a cheaper way to add the necessary components.
Oct 17 03:45:29 <shdowhawk> happyGilmorian: i just got some really cheap led's from radio shack.  that was my first project.  I would assume that the starter kit makes it easier to do a lot more advanced stuff though
Oct 17 03:45:44 <shdowhawk> happyGilmorian: from the command line:  echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/beaglebone\:green\:usr3/brightness  … or echo 0 to turn it off
Oct 17 04:44:08 <DLPeterson> I'm just getting started with beaglebone and am unable to browse to http://192.168.7.2/ to connect to my beaglebone black. Any tips? I can mount it as a USB device and browse the directories, but I would like to connect via ssh.
Oct 17 04:45:09 <shdowhawk> DLPeterson: http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm#step2  make sure the drivers are installed
Oct 17 04:48:28 <DLPeterson> shdowhawk, I'm on Linux. I've already added the udev rules. Here is what dmesg reports when I plug in the BBB: http://bpaste.net/raw/y1XzNEeFEXTjrH63dPLx/
Oct 17 06:08:07 <DLPeterson> anybody know how to get ssh over usb to work on Gentoo?
Oct 17 06:08:28 <DLPeterson> I can mount my BBB as a mass storage device but am unable to ssh into it and I can't find the IP address
Oct 17 06:09:48 <Vaizki> You should see a new network interface in ifconfig
Oct 17 06:40:20 <mark4_> i need to be debugging my code. i need an up and running arm linux system and i just spent 5 hours trying to get a xm board to boot. the ONLY THING that will boot is the demo flash card that came with it
Oct 17 06:40:22 <mark4_> NOTHING else will boot
Oct 17 06:40:53 <mark4_> i dont have time to spend all day every day for the next month trying to get a bootable image with a full linux system i can work wtih up and running
Oct 17 06:41:18 <mark4_> can someone tell me how to get ANY linux distro installed and running on a beagle board xm
Oct 17 06:42:30 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: probably you're just doing something wrong when preparing any other card.
Oct 17 06:42:33 <mark4_> i basically just wasted over a MONTH trying to get lxc working. then just an arm chroot. yay arm chroot works but NO you cant run gdb inside an arm chroot
Oct 17 06:43:05 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: standard errors: not using the block device, for example.
Oct 17 06:43:13 <mark4_> i was following the instructions on the page for the distro
Oct 17 06:43:24 <LetoThe2nd> "the distro"
Oct 17 06:43:47 <mark4_> no. im not a complete linux noob, i know waht mmcblk0 is, the flash card has two partitions
Oct 17 06:43:57 <mark4_> a fat boot and an ext4 /
Oct 17 06:44:14 <tkoskine> mar4k_: Have you tried another board? Sometimes the boards can be broken.
Oct 17 06:44:25 <mark4_> the board wont boot it because the howto was done for the pre xm board
Oct 17 06:44:25 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: well then, if you're not a "noob" as you put it, please provide the details what "the distro" ist, etc. pp. - you know it.
Oct 17 06:44:40 <mark4_> i just spent $150 on this board
Oct 17 06:44:43 <mark4_> i dont HAVE another board
Oct 17 06:44:53 <mark4_> gentoo
Oct 17 06:44:59 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: if you're just about to release your anger, please leave.
Oct 17 06:45:19 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: well then why not try a kind-of supported distribution first? like angstrom?
Oct 17 06:45:42 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: and, links to the "the instructions" page.
Oct 17 06:46:02 * LetoThe2nd would bet on the image just being b0rk3d
Oct 17 06:46:17 <mark4_> wait i closed the page. let me find it
Oct 17 06:50:26 <LetoThe2nd> maybe try http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/ti/beagleboard-xm or such
Oct 17 06:51:07 <mark4_> LetoThe2nd, i woudl rather not use arch linux, i do not trust aur and too much of what i would like on the system is in aur. i tried to use a fedora image and that wont boot either
Oct 17 06:51:17 <mark4_> only the flash card that came with it will boot
Oct 17 06:51:27 <mark4_> and im having trouble finding the gentoo page :/
Oct 17 06:51:57 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: like i said, my bets are on the gentoo image being b0rk3d. i do not say you shall use arch, i'm telling you you shall verify using another distro. if that works, complain to the gentoo people.
Oct 17 06:52:11 <mark4_> it wasnt an image
Oct 17 06:52:15 <LetoThe2nd> see.
Oct 17 06:52:23 <mark4_> i had to create the flas card
Oct 17 06:52:44 <mark4_> i dont CARE that much about gentoo, thats just my preferred distro
Oct 17 06:52:56 <mark4_> i just dont tryst arch due to aur
Oct 17 06:53:12 <mark4_> i wouldbe HAPPY with a fedora or even a full blown angstrom if i could get one to work
Oct 17 06:53:14 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: who cares.
Oct 17 06:53:19 <LetoThe2nd> then try http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners#BeagleBoard_xM_2
Oct 17 06:53:24 <LetoThe2nd> its ALL there.
Oct 17 06:53:46 <mark4_> been there
Oct 17 06:53:47 <mark4_> done that
Oct 17 06:54:37 <LetoThe2nd> providing meaningful error descriptions or details is something you do not like too much, hm
Oct 17 06:55:09 <mark4_> ok if you dont want to help dont help. if you want to be a dick be a dick with someone else
Oct 17 06:55:18 <LetoThe2nd> it can all be tried step by step once you got the formatting. e.g. MLO, u-boot, kernel
Oct 17 06:55:31 <mark4_> i bought this board to just get up and running and WORKGIN on my code
Oct 17 06:55:52 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: actually i _was_ really trying to help you but, now... who cares. have a nice day. i'm not calling anybody names.
Oct 17 06:56:38 <mark4_> you wernt helping. you were doing that "who cares" crap
Oct 17 06:56:43 <mark4_> YOU obviously dont
Oct 17 06:57:00 <LetoThe2nd> mark4_: then go buy something with industrial, paid support. this is called "community". i'Äm niot your personal assistant.
Oct 17 06:57:08 * LetoThe2nd leaves this for good.
Oct 17 06:57:36 <mark4_> i didnt demand any help from you and YOU are being a dick
Oct 17 06:58:00 <mark4_> i asked for help in getting ANY system up and running
Oct 17 06:58:27 <mark4_> other than the utterly useless demo boot
Oct 17 06:58:35 <mark4_> no good for anything other than showing "hey it works"
Oct 17 07:03:27 <mark4_> http://treyweaver.blogspot.com/2010/10/installing-angstrom-on-beagleboard-xm.html
Oct 17 07:07:28 <KotH> mark4_: hint: if you piss of one of the regulars here, the other regulars are much less likely to help you
Oct 17 07:10:34 <mark4_> i just dont understand why it has to be such a PAIN to get an arm linux up and running.
Oct 17 07:10:56 <KotH> because it requires a good understanding of linux and the hardware you are working on
Oct 17 07:11:02 <KotH> both are things which the mere mortal does not have
Oct 17 07:11:51 <mark4_> linux has been my primary operating system for a number of years. im NOT a linux guru but its my OS of choice
Oct 17 07:12:03 <KotH> if you know linux very well, then it takes you 2-3 days to learn the stuff you need to know to get an embedded system up and running from scratch without any prior knowledge
Oct 17 07:12:06 <mark4_> i also develop development systems for it
Oct 17 07:12:29 * KotH knows a lot of people who have ben using linux for years but dont know anything about it
Oct 17 07:12:45 <mark4_> i would qualify my self SLIGHTLY above that level
Oct 17 07:12:59 <KotH> that's not enough then
Oct 17 07:13:14 <mark4_> why you need to be a GURU to use an embedded arm system i dont know. let the GURUS create the images for the end users... why not?
Oct 17 07:13:22 <KotH> you need to be comfortable to not only to compile your own kernel, but to mess with its internals if there is a need
Oct 17 07:13:40 <mark4_> i never use a one size fits all kernel
Oct 17 07:13:51 <KotH> you are asking for a one size fits all image
Oct 17 07:13:53 <KotH> it does not exist
Oct 17 07:13:53 <mark4_> i always build my own and strip out the crud i dont need
Oct 17 07:14:05 <mark4_> yes. they are good STARGING points
Oct 17 07:14:12 <mark4_> genkernel all [enter]
Oct 17 07:14:16 <mark4_> later do menuconfig
Oct 17 07:15:51 <KotH> doesnt work with embedded systems
Oct 17 07:16:10 <KotH> there you have to start from scratch
Oct 17 07:16:24 <tkoskine> mark4_: So, how far the boot goes (for your own image/sdcard)? Is the serial console completely silent? Do you get u-boot running? Does u-boot find kernel? Does kernel boot and is it configured to print out messages to the serial console? etc...
Oct 17 07:16:44 <mark4_> bs. not every person running the same embedded system needs to create a custom from scratch boot for it. there can be generic one size fits all boot images for it
Oct 17 07:16:59 <mark4_> tkoskine, i dont have a way to get to the serial console
Oct 17 07:17:06 <tkoskine> Doh :P
Oct 17 07:17:34 <KotH> mark4_: that's why people made ready to use images
Oct 17 07:17:51 <KotH> mark4_: but aperantly you are not able to use those images for some reason or other
Oct 17 07:18:14 <mark4_> KotH, where? the only image i see for this is the fedora one that wont boot and the demo image that came with it
Oct 17 07:18:21 <KotH> mark4_: and then you blame it on said people instead of thanking them
Oct 17 07:18:42 <KotH> mark4_: you do not know how to use google? or follow links people give you?
Oct 17 07:20:35 <tkoskine> mark4_: You should really get usb-serial cable (or similar). It will save a lot of debugging time. In Europe, olimex.com sells cheap ones and in US you can get some from adafruit.com, for example.
Oct 17 07:21:16 <mark4_> well i have one somewhere but i just moved so ive no idea where it is :/
Oct 17 07:22:08 <mark4_> i basically hoped for plug in. copy over project. start debugging :(
Oct 17 07:22:34 <das> I hoped for an interesting and well paid job out of school, guess what ...
Oct 17 07:22:56 <mark4_> das where are you located? what job do you do thats no so interesting?
Oct 17 07:23:21 <kishor> I am using ubuntu 12.04 lts with BBB, I want to print the kernel messeges from uart driver, but i unable to find the which driver used by uart??
Oct 17 07:23:26 <das> it's uninteresting enough to browse the logs here and then
Oct 17 07:23:38 <KotH> mark4_: Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate!
Oct 17 07:23:57 <mark4_> KotH, i have no idea what you just said
Oct 17 07:24:30 <KotH> mark4_: ah.. you  are one of them usians, who know only this weird english dialect?
Oct 17 07:25:06 <mark4_> i know a few words of chinese but dont type pinyin because i cant read that
Oct 17 07:25:30 <SKyd3R> hello
Oct 17 07:25:35 <KotH> mark4_: lol
Oct 17 07:25:36 <mark4_> http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/  <--- waiting on this
Oct 17 07:25:38 <mark4_> been 5 minutes and its only completed step one
Oct 17 07:26:22 <SKyd3R> is there any kind of emulator (like Qemu) so I kind try some software before loading it ?
Oct 17 07:26:34 <KotH> SKyd3R: yes, qemu
Oct 17 07:26:37 <LetoThe2nd> SKyd3R: only in a very restricted manner
Oct 17 07:26:57 <mark4_> qemu is of limited usefulness
Oct 17 07:27:01 <mark4_> VERY limited
Oct 17 07:27:25 <LetoThe2nd> SKyd3R: you can basically test if it compiles to valid arm code and kind of runs, but anything depending on specific hardware is not testable there.
Oct 17 07:27:41 <SKyd3R> mm
Oct 17 07:27:54 <SKyd3R> could be helpfull anyways
Oct 17 07:29:58 <SKyd3R> I just want to buy a board for the development of a new RTE
Oct 17 07:30:19 <SKyd3R> and the BeagleBoard is an option just for the emulation
Oct 17 07:30:38 <SKyd3R> don't want to break the boards :P
Oct 17 07:59:08 <kishor> @Koth I am using ubuntu 12.04 lts with BBB, I want to print the kernel messeges from uart driver, but i unable to find the which driver used by uart, Can you give me info about which driver is using the UART of BBB??
Oct 17 09:11:17 <vicash> Anyone have experience with using Debian on the BBB ? I have OpenGL installed on the BBB on Debain using the mesa libraries but I wanted to know how to get hardware acceleration turned on
Oct 17 09:13:53 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: there is no HW acceleration available for the BBB so far
Oct 17 09:46:55 <Sicelo> LetoThe2nd: otherwise, does BBB work nicely with stock debian? or 'special' kernel neded maybe?
Oct 17 09:47:29 <LetoThe2nd> Sicelo: of course you need a board specific kernel. otherwise the userland is prettymuch common.
Oct 17 10:01:50 <Fruit> Sicelo: haven't noticed much strangeness yet
Oct 17 10:02:57 <Fruit> the only bit I have to try is to run a stock debian kernel so at least I can get security updates
Oct 17 10:07:31 <vicash> Sicelo: yes Debian works fine.
Oct 17 10:08:27 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: but the SGX graphics chip is present on the BBB. Does that not provide HW acceleration or is that just a simple HDMI chip that provides HDMI output ?
Oct 17 10:08:37 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: huh?
Oct 17 10:08:54 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: there just is no binary blob driver for the SGX.
Oct 17 10:11:35 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: on the page http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#SGX_Video_Acceleration there is some description for SGX modules although for Beagle xM.
Oct 17 10:11:53 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: so what? you were talking about the BBB, right?
Oct 17 10:12:02 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: Yes.
Oct 17 10:12:16 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: so what would that have to do with XM=
Oct 17 10:12:18 <vicash> I was just curious if this worked for the BBB. I guess not.
Oct 17 10:13:49 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: Doesn't BBB claim to be open hardware ?
Oct 17 10:14:10 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: *sigh*
Oct 17 10:14:37 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: open hardware doe not mean that any silicon vendor hands out everything. it means that everything you need to rebuild it is open.
Oct 17 10:14:49 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: that is, gerbers, BOM, etc.
Oct 17 10:15:19 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: ah! and what if they stop making the chips 1 or 2 years from now. then the gerbers are useless
Oct 17 10:15:33 <BlurredLines> hello all
Oct 17 10:15:36 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: thats the case for any IC no news there.
Oct 17 10:15:59 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: agreed.
Oct 17 10:35:10 <BlurredLines> Is there anyone willing to be helpful with some questions on the BeagleBone Black?
Oct 17 10:35:12 <Sicelo> vicash: yep.. 100% open device will likely never ever happen
Oct 17 10:35:15 <Sicelo> :(
Oct 17 10:37:50 <BlurredLines> I'm outputing to a 7segment display and the board looses communication with cloud9 and tends to reset when I have the LED connected. I am using 7 GPIO pins P8 (P8_12-P8_24 evens only). Anyone know of something obvious I am doing wrong?
Oct 17 10:40:26 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: it seems that folks have been able to run Jellybean Android with SGX acceleration on the Beaglebone Black as per https://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/JellybeanOnBeaglebone_WithSGX#Build_Android,_Kernel_and_SGX and also it seems that if we use an older kernel < 3.8 then SGX should work. So it seems like if we build with kernel say 3.4 or 3.2 existing SGX drivers should work.
Oct 17 10:42:33 <vicash> LetoThe2nd: I take that back.
Oct 17 10:48:00 <LetoThe2nd> vicash: hrhrhr
Oct 17 10:48:46 <david> Hi
Oct 17 10:49:28 <Guest87720> I am using beaglebone black. i am using SD card for running my angstrom Image...now i want to flash
Oct 17 10:49:39 <Guest87720> the same on to the emmc how do i do that
Oct 17 10:50:09 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: just use the sd card image that specifically is called "flasher"
Oct 17 10:50:25 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: boot that, then wat approx. 45-60minutes.
Oct 17 10:50:56 <Guest87720> I tried using the boot button available on the board but i am not able to identify whether its done or not
Oct 17 10:51:42 <LetoThe2nd> so you don't have a serial cable?
Oct 17 10:52:06 <Guest87720> i have
Oct 17 10:52:33 <Guest87720> i use the J1 header
Oct 17 10:52:44 <LetoThe2nd> well then just watch u-boot during bootup, and when it says that it has detected the pin, then release the button. its a relatively short moment, but certainly doable.
Oct 17 10:53:03 <Guest87720> let me check once again
Oct 17 10:53:14 <LetoThe2nd> after that, when logging into it and firing ps, you should see something like dd, opkg or such.
Oct 17 10:55:56 <Guest87720> reading uEnv.txt 68 bytes read in 2 ms (33.2 KiB/s) Loaded environment from uEnv.txt Importing environment from mmc ... gpio: pin 55 (gpio 55) value is 1 4270608 bytes read in 740 ms (5.5 MiB/s) gpio: pin 56 (gpio 56) value is 1 24129 bytes read in 40 ms (588.9 KiB/s)
Oct 17 10:56:07 <Guest87720> i get the above log during startup
Oct 17 10:56:15 <LetoThe2nd> sounds good, doesn't it?
Oct 17 10:56:22 <LetoThe2nd> then let it boot, log in and check ps
Oct 17 10:57:16 <Guest87720> i checkd i havnt seen anythng lik dd or opkg ..
Oct 17 10:57:35 <LetoThe2nd> hm.
Oct 17 10:57:52 <LetoThe2nd> and you are specifically using the "flasher" image?
Oct 17 11:02:07 <Guest87720> can i have little more detals on what do u mean by flasher image??
Oct 17 11:02:36 <LetoThe2nd> umm.. the place where you got the angstrom image.
Oct 17 11:02:48 <LetoThe2nd> pick the image that hast "flasher" it it name.
Oct 17 11:03:05 <LetoThe2nd> *that* is the one that you can use to reflash the emmc
Oct 17 11:04:27 <Guest87720> ooo ok i got that
Oct 17 11:04:30 <jackmitchell> Guest87720: have you read _any_ of the wiki?http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Updating_The_Software
Oct 17 11:05:10 <Guest87720> yes i have taken the flasher image and initially write to sd card for checkng....
Oct 17 11:05:43 <kishor> @LetoThe2nd I am using ubuntu 12.04 lts with BBB, I want to print the kernel messeges from uart driver, but i unable to find the which driver used by uart, Can you give me info about which driver is using the UART of BBB??
Oct 17 11:06:17 <LetoThe2nd> kishor: i have already read your question the first, second and third time.
Oct 17 11:06:36 <LetoThe2nd> kishor: as i have not answered, what gives you the impression that i will now?
Oct 17 11:07:13 <LetoThe2nd> kishor: *hint* stop pestering people directly and repeating yourself over and over again *hint*
Oct 17 11:07:16 <Guest87720> thanks Letothe2nd for support...i will try and update
Oct 17 11:07:56 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: well, its not like i hadn't told you that in the very first line already... 20minutes ago! :D
Oct 17 11:08:46 <Guest87720> @Letothe2nd : do you have any workshop on how to build u-boot kernel and rootfs to customized images to flash on BBB
Oct 17 11:09:26 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: open the angstrom download page again, scroll down.
Oct 17 11:09:34 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: there's how to rebuild it.
Oct 17 11:09:55 <Guest87720> I tried that but failed to build properly...
Oct 17 11:10:28 <LetoThe2nd> Guest87720: then try again and provide proper error messages.
Oct 17 11:10:48 <Guest87720> last one querie : how to disable the usb0??

Oct 17 11:26:02 <Guest87720> i want to disable usb0 networking, how can i disable??
Oct 17 11:27:05 <LetoThe2nd> don't load the network, gagdet i guess.
Oct 17 11:29:05 <Guest87720> i have not connected the usb cable but still it shows
Oct 17 11:29:51 <LetoThe2nd> of course.
Oct 17 11:30:11 <LetoThe2nd> because its there and waiting. so like i said - do not load (e.g. disable) the module
Oct 17 11:30:52 <LetoThe2nd> g_ether, that is,.
Oct 17 11:31:19 <LetoThe2nd> maybe also disabling it in the config is enough, but not sure about that.
Oct 17 11:34:25 <honestly> /etc/network/interfaces
Oct 17 11:34:34 <honestly> removing the info for usb0 should be enough

Oct 17 14:30:35 <Abama> hi , everybody.
Oct 17 14:31:01 <Abama> does anyone konw howto use uart5?
Oct 17 14:31:14 <Abama> for serial port
Oct 17 14:31:30 <Bogdan84> Hi guys. I’m curious if there is any possibility to create an USB Android Open Accessory setup using a beagle board and an Android powered device (e.g. Nexus). Thanks
Oct 17 14:31:41 <KotH> Abama: if it exists, the same as with all other uarts
Oct 17 14:32:02 <Abama> KotH , it not exit.
Oct 17 14:32:02 <KotH> Bogdan84: yes there is a possibility
Oct 17 14:32:12 <KotH> Abama: if it does not exists, you cannot use it
Oct 17 14:32:22 <KotH> Abama: that should be logical, shouldn't it?
Oct 17 14:32:58 <Abama> HI KotH, yes, I know it. do you how to creat it? have some web sit?
Oct 17 14:34:07 <KotH> Abama: you take an uart chip, connnect it to your processor and tell your OS about it
Oct 17 14:35:32 <Abama> angstrom
Oct 17 14:35:55 <KotH> Abama: sag mal, verstehst du englisch?
Oct 17 14:35:55 <Abama> i want use beaglebone own uart for series port.
Oct 17 14:40:00 <KotH> Bogdan84: i do not answer questions asked in private messages
Oct 17 14:40:19 <KotH> Bogdan84: and i usually stop answering questions from such people completely
Oct 17 15:26:50 <DagoRed> hopefully tonight I can resume.... productivity. I want to get this kernel sorted out for the BBB in 3.12
Oct 17 16:35:13 <b0o> is anyone running the latest rcn debian image on a BBB?
Oct 17 16:35:38 <b0o> I'd like to know if usb hot-plug is working
Oct 17 17:51:46 <vicash> b0o: i am running Debian 7 on the BBB. the hot plug of the mouse works.
Oct 17 17:52:05 <vicash> b0o: other devices i have not tested
Oct 17 17:52:42 <b0o> vicash: I should probably try a mouse to see if that shows up
Oct 17 17:52:59 <b0o> I'm specifically attempted to plugin a prolific chipped usb->serial device
Oct 17 17:53:33 <vicash> b0o: dmesg is your friend. you can also run lsusb to see whether the USB device shows up
Oct 17 17:54:02 <vicash> b0o: you might need to verify if your usb2serial device has drivers or is using a chip that has drivers loaded or compiled in the Debian kernel
Oct 17 18:01:23 <b0o> vicash: the interesting thing is that if I have it plugged in while it boots, no problem
Oct 17 18:01:31 <b0o> drivers are in the kernel
Oct 17 18:01:43 <b0o> it's just plugging it in later that seems to be the issue
Oct 17 18:04:24 <vicash> b0o: not sure but maybe if you know the exact arguments for the driver (maybe none) you can force the driver to load on boot using /etc/modules and then when you plug the device in, the drivers will already have loaded and hot pluggint should be easy
Oct 17 18:04:58 <vicash> b0o: the real problem is that hotplugging is handled by udev daemon and you might need to adjust the udev rules for your device to hot plug immediately and show up .. that is the standard way to do things
Oct 17 19:17:08 <BeagleGithub> [kernel] RobertCNelson pushed 1 new commit to 3.12: http://git.io/bSVNbQ
Oct 17 19:17:08 <BeagleGithub> kernel/3.12 faf99ba Robert Nelson: 3.12: update to v3.12-rc5...
Oct 17 19:19:36 <b0o> vicash: yep, I need to play around a bit with udev
Oct 17 19:19:50 <b0o> it's just a bit odd that I don't see anything in /var/log/messages or dmesg when it's plugged in :\
Oct 17 19:40:15 <vicash> b0o: what about lsusb ? can you run it and see if it shows up ?
Oct 17 19:40:34 <b0o> it does not
Oct 17 19:41:35 <vicash> b0o: do you know what modules it needs to show up ?
Oct 17 19:41:49 <vicash> b0o: you can save time by forcing the loading of those modules before plugging in
Oct 17 19:42:34 <b0o> let me reboot and see what modules it has
Oct 17 19:50:42 <b0o> vicash: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Oct 17 19:50:47 <b0o> after reboot with it already plugged in
Oct 17 19:51:46 <woglinde> looks good
Oct 17 19:51:47 <vicash> b0o: that is the output of lsusb. that's good. what is the output of dmesg when you do a grep for Prolific ? it will mention the module that is loaded. You can also run "lsmod" to see which modules correspond to the device
Oct 17 19:52:13 <woglinde> vicash unless PL2303 support is build in
Oct 17 19:52:33 <vicash> woglinde: that's correct but if PL2303 support was built in he would not have the hot-plugging problem
Oct 17 19:52:53 <vicash> woglinde: unless the PL2303 driver itself sucks and doesnt handle hot plugging
Oct 17 19:53:11 <b0o> i'm fairly certain it does
Oct 17 19:53:27 <woglinde> vicash coulb be a famous musb problem too
Oct 17 19:53:48 <woglinde> could be even
Oct 17 19:55:28 <vicash> woglinde: sure that might be true. i dont know.
Oct 17 19:56:22 <radconjon> thurgood, I got the gpio to export and I think I am good on that for a while, now I am trying to get the pwm to show up. Any thoughts
Oct 17 19:56:58 <thurgood> is pwm the same as the regulator?
Oct 17 19:58:44 <radconjon> thurgood, I do not think so.. there are three lines in the expansion headers that are basically timers and they can run servos
Oct 17 19:59:09 <radconjon> pulse width modulation
Oct 17 19:59:44 <thurgood> ah... dunno then
Oct 17 20:00:26 <radconjon> Thurgood - I put lines in the beagle.h file similar to the gpio lines but they do not show up.  I have searched a lot but have not found much
Oct 17 20:05:28 <beaglelinuxQuest> Hello, can I use this book to learn programming on a beaglebone black ? :Begining Linux Programming 4th edition - Wrox.pdf
Oct 17 20:06:41 <agmlego> Yes.
Oct 17 20:06:46 <agmlego> Because the bone runs Linux.
Oct 17 20:21:50 <qwebirc452190> I will try
Oct 17 20:22:33 <qwebirc452190> its from: beaglelinuxQuest: I will try
Oct 17 20:22:49 <woglinde_> agmlego isnt that book to old?
Oct 17 20:22:53 <qwebirc452190> beaglelinuxQuestion I mean
Oct 17 20:22:59 <woglinde_> I think it does not have devicetree
Oct 17 20:24:19 <upwardindex> When scp'ing /dev/zero from my beaglebone, I only manage to get 3.4 MB/s transfer speed, why is it not 10 MB/s ?
Oct 17 20:26:27 <woglinde> upwardindex because it is connected via usb?
Oct 17 20:26:46 <agmlego> woglinde: Depends on what type of programming she wanted to do.
Oct 17 20:26:47 <upwardindex> woglinde: nope, ethernet
Oct 17 20:26:54 <beaglelinuxQuest> I mean I will try and if I don't succeed if this book is old then it maybe work with a desktop linux
Oct 17 20:27:19 <agmlego> woglinde: And, besides, the kind of perosn who uses a book to learn to program...
Oct 17 20:28:05 <woglinde> upwardindex yes the ethernet is connected via usb internally
Oct 17 20:30:45 <upwardindex> woglinde: ohhhhhh, thank you!  is that the case with the black too?
Oct 17 20:43:05 <woglinde> upwardindex yes
Oct 17 20:45:10 <upwardindex> woglinde: many thanks that answers it all
Oct 17 20:45:19 <upwardindex> woglinde: have a great day
Oct 17 20:49:44 <radconjon> Has anyone used the PWM pins on the expansion header of the BBxM to drive servos?
Oct 17 23:06:05 <seriousmom> I'm working on a project that requires 3 micro sd card readers, I know the straightforward way might to plug in a usb hub, but are there any other options?  Like breakout boards?
Oct 17 23:19:34 <seriousmom> does beaglebone have a microsd port included?
Oct 17 23:19:42 <Crofton|work> yes
Oct 17 23:20:21 <seriousmom> thanks, for some reason not mentioned on the page I'm looking at
Oct 17 23:21:49 <seriousmom> are the beaglebone capes compatible with the black?
Oct 17 23:22:28 <seriousmom> nm I see some are some aren't
Oct 18 00:20:25 <WarheadsSE> Some are not, most are
Oct 18 01:19:36 <mark4> do not seem to be getting anything on theserial connection to my beagle board xm, is that 115200 8N1 ?
Oct 18 01:28:32 <N2TOH> should be, the serial stopped working on my Beagle Board Black
Oct 18 01:28:53 <b0o> it's TTL, correct?
Oct 18 01:29:22 <N2TOH> on the BBBlack it's via the USB port
Oct 18 01:29:52 <b0o> on the BBB the usb port sets up a linux gadget device
Oct 18 01:30:07 <b0o> at least that's how mine works
Oct 18 01:30:14 <N2TOH> well it's not even showing up as anything
Oct 18 01:30:31 <b0o> I had mine flake on me like that recently
Oct 18 01:30:35 <b0o> I ended up reflashing
Oct 18 01:30:39 <N2TOH> what was the fix?
Oct 18 01:30:50 <N2TOH> it boots fine from the uSD card
Oct 18 01:31:09 <b0o> mine wasn't booting from either
Oct 18 01:31:16 <b0o> so I reflashed from the uSD
Oct 18 01:31:29 <b0o> then I ended up having to rebuild my uSD
Oct 18 01:31:49 <b0o> I have no idea what caused it, and I'm not certain that it's exactly what you have going on
Oct 18 01:32:06 <N2TOH> only two things it's not doing is appearing as a drive, and putty will not connect via the USB-serial console
Oct 18 01:32:15 <b0o> my understanding is that the actual serial port are the headers on the board and they're TTL voltages
Oct 18 01:33:14 <SpeedEvil> TTL is unlikely - if you mean by that 5V
Oct 18 01:33:14 <N2TOH> ok, but when I connect the USB to my workstation the serial port is /dev/ttyACM0
Oct 18 01:33:17 <SpeedEvil> IMO
Oct 18 01:33:41 <N2TOH> or 3.3V
Oct 18 01:33:43 <b0o> see the header "Serial Port-Related" http://beagleboard.org/Support/FAQ
Oct 18 01:35:17 <BeagleGithub> [kernel] RobertCNelson pushed 1 new commit to 3.12: http://git.io/2YzwmQ

Oct 18 01:36:27 <b0o> I should have clarified... 3.3V TTL
Oct 18 02:20:46 <tolip> any pointers to documentation for Angstrom build tools for use on the  BBB?  (autoconf etc.)   Please :)
