**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 26 02:59:59 2013 Oct 26 03:11:24 any luck? Oct 26 05:09:11 Are the circuit diagrams of the beagleboard published and available somewhere ? How about the processor ? Oct 26 05:18:17 yes the stuff is on beagleboard.org Oct 26 05:18:35 the SoC has extensive documentation. look for the TRM Oct 26 05:43:24 how to access the serial debug port in BBB ( using which node in /dev/ in BBB) ? I have connected ftdi cable from BBB to my PC,Also USB cable to my PC. Oct 26 05:48:47 it's one of the ttyO.. devices Oct 26 05:48:59 the SRM might actually know Oct 26 05:51:56 i want to read that port for which the data will be entered in PC using /dev/USB0 (using minicom)....is it possible to read the data at BBB end by writing program? Oct 26 05:53:47 SOS, I want to refresh new version OS on my BB Black, followed the instructions on Circuito, but after boot from uSD, there are only several LED blinkings. after that no activities at all. now it cannot boot from emmc or uSD. Oct 26 05:54:02 did any one meet such issue before? Oct 26 05:56:17 got it...it is /dev/tty Oct 26 05:59:05 atlasli: how long did you wait? Oct 26 06:04:05 Hi Oct 26 06:04:23 I need help to get started on beable bone Oct 26 06:04:42 I got new beaglr bone y'day Oct 26 13:00:40 there any good way to determine if the usb controller on a bbb is in the right mode to recognize a usb network adapter? Oct 26 13:01:04 it completely doesnt appear to recognize plugging it in Oct 26 13:01:16 Tenkawa: tried a reboot? Oct 26 13:01:20 lsusb just shws the hub and nothing else Oct 26 13:01:35 Humpelstilzchen: a few although i do want to try one more Oct 26 13:02:09 Tenkawa: does it see any devices? Oct 26 13:02:14 got a bad feeling the controller/port may be going bad Oct 26 13:02:49 dm8tbr: so far no.. tried a few diff dongles.. nothing.. it sees the core hub finally though Oct 26 13:03:06 and on different kernels? Oct 26 13:03:46 dm8tbr: the one kernel couldnt see the usb at all.. ths last 2 see it however exhibit this behaviour Oct 26 13:04:25 Tenkawa: and if you boot a known good angstrom image/kernel? Oct 26 13:04:37 dont have one to try anymore Oct 26 13:04:38 lsusb Oct 26 13:04:40 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Oct 26 13:05:02 * Tenkawa also wonders if he has something on the contacts Oct 26 13:05:43 http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Oct 26 13:05:53 yeah i know where to get it Oct 26 13:12:18 I should only need the musb-hdrc driver for the core usb right? Oct 26 13:19:02 bbl.. cheers all Oct 26 14:43:44 hi Oct 26 14:49:14 hello Oct 26 15:11:38 Hello all. Been trying to get the audio cape working on the BBB. After i edit the uenv.txt file, it refuses to boot Oct 26 15:12:08 have tried several combinations of this in the uenv.txt file: optargs=quiet capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN,BB-BONE-EMMC-2G capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-AUDI-01 Oct 26 15:12:30 the eMMC is flashed with the 06-13 version of angstrom Oct 26 15:12:55 2013-06-20 Oct 26 15:13:45 should i run opkg update/upgrade before i edit the uenv file? been at this for 3-4 days now. :( Oct 26 15:21:31 yasirk: it would help to attach to the UART so you can see what U-Boot barfs about Oct 26 15:24:59 Do i need the FTDI cable for that? i just got the kit and am missing some hw pieces. am limited to PuTty only for now. :( Oct 26 15:25:59 have tried the edits on two BBB's and both brick when i edit the uenv.txt files. Oct 26 15:28:58 they don't brick. a brick is something irreversible. Oct 26 15:29:22 I can use a sledge hammer, then it will be a brick Oct 26 15:29:24 forever Oct 26 15:29:37 yes, use FTDI or whatever to interface the UART Oct 26 15:29:43 I wonder why they usually call it "FTDI cable" instead of just USB/serial. Oct 26 15:29:50 :) Okay, fair point, but they refuse to boot with one light flashing. Oct 26 15:30:08 and without reading UART you'll NEVER know why. full. stop. Oct 26 15:30:45 Makes sense..thx for the tip, will go fishing for the cable. Oct 26 15:31:08 you're messing with the early boot process Oct 26 16:35:27 hey folks, is there a way I can verify that my update went through? was thinking there's a file I could read or maybe command I can run to check what version I'm running on Oct 26 16:50:50 Is there a good tutorial about coming from arduino to beagle bone black? In a uC all IO is available to you, it looks quite different on BBB since there is an OS involved Oct 26 16:54:44 ArduinoUser: forget everything you know about µC and learn linux Oct 26 16:55:22 ArduinoUser: BUT there are actually two programmable microcontrollers in the SoC. look for PRU Oct 26 17:07:43 typing from my u buntu laptop right now.. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth it to switch to that type of platform. I'm looking for faster IO and execution time. Maybe I should just make the jump to an 80MHz uC? Oct 26 17:31:17 Thanks dm8tbr, I'll look into the PRU Oct 26 20:38:52 Any idea why BBB's audio cape only works if i boot off the SD card? (by editing the uenv.txt file--it wont boot if i edit the file on eMMC) Oct 26 20:49:20 yasirk: look at console output? Oct 26 20:53:16 dm8tbr, no cable yet, still waiting for that. :( --apparently, read somewhere that the video cape only works off the SD card as well, so wondering what is the difference b/w the two bootup methods. Oct 26 20:55:03 depends if the capes use any pins that need to be muxed for the eMMC Oct 26 20:56:37 hmm...okay, makes sense. will wait till i can get a console readout before i start troubleshooting the emmc boot method, till then its on the SD card. Oct 26 20:57:18 Aaving said that, audio playback from the audio cape, is noisy and works only once every few times using aplay. any pointers for fixing that issue? Oct 26 21:44:35 I'm running Angstrom and got hostapd set up broadcasting a wifi hotspot. I can connect to the hotspot with my phone (after I assign a static IP) but I can't access anything on the beaglebone. I have a mjpg-streamer running which I verified is working with the browser on the BBB, just can't view it from the phone. Oct 26 21:44:57 Any idea why I can connect but can't access anything? Oct 26 23:29:45 Hi all. I've been trying to mount an f2fs rootfs on my BBB running Arch linux with no luck. I created the f2fs partition on the eMMC and set it in the fstab. However, I don't think it's being mounted because the system doesn't complete boot. I read somewhere that I might need to create a new initfs with mkintifsio, but I can't tell if that's actually used in embedded linux ... there are no templates in the mkinitfsio.d folder. Any tho Oct 27 00:02:29 how can I boot from HDD on BBB ? Oct 27 02:45:43 Anyone familiar with the ppp-dialin package? Oct 27 02:45:48 I can't seem to find any documentation on it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 27 02:59:58 2013
