**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 05 02:59:58 2013 Dec 05 03:00:19 Talk about good online support Dec 05 03:02:30 yea it is a 2gb I dont see A2 in the list should I just use the A3 os instead Dec 05 03:11:38 The latest images work on the older boards... Dec 05 03:11:51 the revisions are noted just to say when the newer images started shipping. Dec 05 03:12:13 Vaizki_: yeah, what are the chances? Dec 05 03:12:57 The A2 boards were pre-release versions that I didn't really have any use for. Broken Ethernet. :( Dec 05 03:13:07 Just figured I'd give them away. Dec 05 03:15:00 Well at least one of them is getting used :) Dec 05 04:04:48 #spi Dec 05 04:09:04 Hello, does anyone have any experience using SPI via python module from Adafruit and interfacing it with an ADC (MCP3008 to be specific) on the bone? Dec 05 04:19:53 manzanor: the better question is why? Dec 05 04:32:06 manzanor: much easier to use the MCP3208 with the existing kernel driver, and simply enable it Dec 05 04:32:13 manzanor: then you have generic access Dec 05 04:36:26 hey prpplague, sorry for the late reply, i was on a different page for a while Dec 05 04:36:57 why i guess is because i wanted to test to see if it was faster than reading it in on the BBB ADC's Dec 05 04:37:29 manzanor: well that answer is pretty darn obvious Dec 05 04:37:42 i figured the beaglebone could read in digital from the MCP3008 faster than it could convert it itself Dec 05 04:37:59 manzanor: hehe Dec 05 04:38:10 manzanor: so the time to do the reads over SPI doesn't count? Dec 05 04:38:25 hah so that was foolish of me to think then Dec 05 04:38:34 indeed Dec 05 04:39:12 crap.. Dec 05 04:39:48 what you said earlier about the existing kernel, were you refering to the 3.2 embedded linux version? Dec 05 04:39:55 for os Dec 05 04:40:03 manzanor: no, the beaglebone black using 3.8 kernel Dec 05 04:40:12 manzanor: which has an included MCP320x driver Dec 05 04:40:42 manzanor: and just fyi, there really isn't a "embedded linux version" , it's just linux, hehe Dec 05 04:40:56 ah, would that be faster than the internal adc then? Dec 05 04:41:09 excuse me, thats what i meant, kinda new at this, hah but you could probably tell Dec 05 04:43:07 sorry for the barage of stupid(isn) questions, but where is the driver located, a quick search on google reveals nothing Dec 05 04:43:39 manzanor: maybe you should start by telling us what it is you are trying to accomplish Dec 05 04:43:45 orry for the barage of stupid(isn) questions prpplague, but where is the driver located, a quick search on google reveals nothing Dec 05 04:43:48 ok Dec 05 04:43:53 manzanor: "fast" is a relative term, not quantitative Dec 05 04:44:36 I wanted to resolve a waveform on the beagle bone with 5kHz resolution Dec 05 04:45:08 manzanor: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/iio/adc/mcp320x.c Dec 05 04:45:52 manzanor: i'd have to do the math to figure out the exact sample rate you'd need Dec 05 04:46:23 Wow this is great thanks! This oughta keep me occupied for a while Dec 05 04:46:55 manzanor: and its done with cool tunes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJPcN2SWOEw Dec 05 04:49:57 cool! of course i would still need to enable the dt overlay i believe Dec 05 04:50:10 to use the c code in the link you sent me Dec 05 04:51:11 That should have some question marks on it by the way Dec 05 04:51:37 manzanor: yes you would need to enable it via device tree Dec 05 04:51:59 manzanor: but once you have done so it can be read various ways Dec 05 04:52:24 manzanor: but to the point the onboard adc for the beagle appears to be capable of doing the sampling you want Dec 05 04:52:32 manzanor: i'll check some more tomorrow Dec 05 04:53:10 ok thanks, also do you know anything about the Adafruit module in python api? Dec 05 04:53:12 spi* Dec 05 04:53:20 for spi* Dec 05 04:54:05 I was really hoping to use this and I thought I had it initialized but when I got to read in the bytes, with the read bytes(1) command I always get the same value Dec 05 04:54:11 255 or 0xff Dec 05 08:47:45 is there any port for beagle board rev c3 which support login through screen not serial console Dec 05 08:48:39 ? Dec 05 08:50:30 i want to load gui through hdmi Dec 05 08:50:46 thats what the default SW does Dec 05 08:50:46 but angstorm port does not have this feature Dec 05 08:50:56 sure has Dec 05 08:51:06 I saw it with my own eyes Dec 05 08:51:23 sorry but i'm unable to see anything on monitior Dec 05 08:51:30 he he he Dec 05 08:52:03 also i'm unable to connect the board to network Dec 05 08:52:34 ifconfig command shows Dec 05 08:52:37 usb0 Dec 05 09:10:46 hi i have a project that i have to make heavy image processing on beagleboard black.i am new at beaglebone black. Is there a option at beaglebone black that i can make faster image processing or frame capturing from camera Dec 05 09:20:55 Heyho~ Dec 05 09:21:19 guys just posted in the ml about a personal project https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/beaglebone/k33vYXYD-s8 It'll be great hearing your thoughts. Dec 05 09:21:39 It's a drones based on the BB Dec 05 09:21:43 drone* Dec 05 09:23:42 hi Dec 05 09:24:09 Duh, our uni has seriously no serial-ttl connector. That suck bigtime. Dec 05 09:24:13 where can I get pre compiled kernel and uboot to boot BBB to gentoo? Dec 05 09:24:42 I tried to copy the /boot from the ubuntu distro , and failed to boot Dec 05 09:24:55 I do see the pinguin , but no text Dec 05 09:30:15 Kernle: all the time you spent here, it would have arrived 5 times already Dec 05 09:33:14 av500: That would require me to buy one. And since I'm returning hardware tuesday its not worth it... Dec 05 09:48:40 not you, your uni Dec 05 09:53:28 hi! Dec 05 10:41:14 Same story av500. They just say "nope, won't buy that, you don't need it anyway". I WILL put that in the evaluation of the course. Dec 05 10:43:06 hasn't it been like 2 weeks that he needs this freakin serial converter ? Dec 05 10:55:28 Hi we are trying to boot from eMMC and the first 4K bytes are zero that means the first 8 sectors are zero except the first 82 bytes.

Dec 05 12:03:22 Heeeelllpp, I need somebody! Dec 05 12:04:55 how long do i need to hold boot button when flashing the card Dec 05 12:05:22 emmc Dec 05 12:11:05 only when you power up Dec 05 13:16:45 flgsr, Chapter 26, to be exact Dec 05 13:30:49 what's a proper way to determine the current omap board at runtime e.g. find the difference between the dm37xx and am335x Dec 05 13:31:35 is there perhaps a version hidden in the boot rom? Dec 05 13:32:20 am335x has a device_id at 0x44e1_0600 and the dm37xx a id_code at 0x4830_a204 Dec 05 13:33:26 perferably using a coporessor instruction (like getting the MIDR) Dec 05 13:33:48 also a TAP_ID of the core would be fine. Dec 05 13:36:22 it looks like linux code tries to access the tap over the memory bus https://gitorious.org/android-enablement/omap-3530-kernel/source/ce626a6bc286d456dee95edfd2540314fe33cd07:arch/arm/mach-omap2/id.c Dec 05 13:39:50 Expect to see Beagle on http://wgntv.com/live/ around 8:45 US Central on The Maker Mom segment Dec 05 14:47:00 anybody see it? Dec 05 14:47:15 my recording screwed up as I ran out of disk space. :( Dec 05 14:51:12 it wasnt on my DVB-T Dec 05 14:51:58 hi there channel :-) Dec 05 14:54:42 does anyone know the temp and humidity range of the beagle bone black? Dec 05 14:54:56 yes Dec 05 14:57:14 mine is lukewarm Dec 05 14:58:53 I did look into it at one time and I think the consensus was 0-50°C based on the bom.. Dec 05 14:59:12 there are parts that are good for -40..+70 but not everything on the board is Dec 05 15:00:45 I got my BBB connect to a monitor by hdmi, ethernet, the power is through the usb cable that comes with it, Angstrom distro v2012.12 (Core edition) appears after five minutes more or less. After that I've connected a new 16 GB microSD, but doesn't mount it automatically. HOw can I do that? Dec 05 15:03:49 mount the microSD card in angstrom Dec 05 15:16:41 I'm trying my best to mount microSD but I'm not able, can anyone help please? Dec 05 15:17:18 I'm angstrom Dec 05 15:17:39 I mean I'm using angstrom distro Dec 05 15:17:51 in this BBB Dec 05 15:18:08 I might be wrong but last I tried it, it was not possible to insert sd card after boot and see it Dec 05 15:19:06 vaizki, what you mean? Dec 05 15:19:36 vaizki, sorry Dec 05 15:19:49 vaizki, the same happens to me Dec 05 15:21:31 vaizki, is it possible to mount and use as storage volume Dec 05 15:23:06 16 GB microSD plug in BBB Dec 05 15:23:53 Reboot with the card inserted and try? Dec 05 15:26:13 can't that way, doesn't start booting though mmmmm?. by the way?. also can it e use to boot ubuntu with it? how? Dec 05 15:27:04 ubuntu, debian or android Dec 05 15:28:52 I guess I have to create a bootable with that SD card, correct? Dec 05 15:29:11 if so, how? Dec 05 15:30:01 can anyone help me please? Dec 05 15:31:34 I might be able to but I have a hard time understanding Dec 05 15:32:06 you are saying the BBB won't boot with a uSD card inserted? Dec 05 15:32:39 that's right Dec 05 15:35:48 it's been a while since I played with uSD cards.. you might have to put a FAT partition on the card with the boot stuff on it. Dec 05 15:36:12 based on your questions that's probably not something you'd know how to do? :) Dec 05 16:03:16 if I plug the BBB through AC Adapter supply will it fast to operate gnome in Angstrom distro? Dec 05 16:04:35 could you please reformulate your question? Dec 05 16:07:54 KotH: if I plug the BBB through AC Adapter supply. would the OS go faster, rather than USB cable? Dec 05 16:08:02 no Dec 05 16:08:07 no Dec 05 16:08:10 no Dec 05 16:08:11 no Dec 05 16:09:23 I feel this distro in BBB goes a bit slow, why? Dec 05 16:09:36 ? Dec 05 16:09:41 its only 1GHz CPU Dec 05 16:09:43 slow compared to what? Dec 05 16:10:07 fast, duh Dec 05 16:10:14 ah. right. Dec 05 16:10:29 I'm a bit slow too it seems. Dec 05 16:10:59 vaizki: install a better OS! Dec 05 16:11:25 mmmm. how can I install ubuntu in it, for instance? Dec 05 16:11:28 OS? I'm just running a busyloop here Dec 05 16:11:41 dury: yes Dec 05 16:11:45 it will be as fast Dec 05 16:11:47 or slower Dec 05 16:12:24 but at least it will take up a lot more space Dec 05 16:12:44 it will be faster per megabyte Dec 05 16:12:58 av500: what's the procedure to install it Dec 05 16:13:13 av500: yes, please give #exactsteps Dec 05 16:14:27 av500: or how can I use the 16GB card I just plugin as storage? Dec 05 16:15:25 dury, you ignore everything you don't understand instead of researching it Dec 05 16:15:41 you will not have success with embedded linux doing that Dec 05 16:16:35 also google won't get mad at you if you keep typing in the same question over and over again Dec 05 16:18:28 I think it's better to leave that distro instead of installing another one, what you think? I guess it depends on what to do or what? Dec 05 16:19:41 i think it's better to figure out what exactly is slow and why Dec 05 16:19:58 changing distros will not magically make everything faster Dec 05 16:20:14 also, leaving the same system might not be the smartest choice Dec 05 16:20:21 it all depends on what you want to do Dec 05 16:20:32 what to do or what Dec 05 16:20:42 so, you have to figure that out first, then figure out how you can do it Dec 05 16:25:00 that's why I'm asking you 'cause I don't know? for instance HOw to use that 16 GB card as storage volume in default OS (angstrom) and how to change OS (Ubuntu, Debian, Android) Dec 05 16:29:17 can you assist, please? Dec 05 16:31:31 yes, get a copy of "embedded linux primer" by hallinan and read it Dec 05 16:31:57 also get an introductory book on linux, like linux for dummies or so Dec 05 16:32:56 ok Dec 05 16:33:15 all right Dec 05 16:52:52 hi Dec 05 16:52:59 i have a problemi with my board Dec 05 16:53:23 who'd have guessed Dec 05 16:53:35 when i connect it via ssh BBB require password but there isnt password Dec 05 16:54:26 i ve doing from my pc: ssh root@192.168.7.2 Dec 05 16:54:34 but it ask password Dec 05 16:55:08 i've doing: sh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -trsa -P '' -b4096 Dec 05 16:55:18 but it still ask me password Dec 05 16:55:34 did you try just hitting enter when it asks for the password? Dec 05 16:55:49 yes -.- Dec 05 16:55:57 it require password same Dec 05 16:58:15 well when I connect to it using ssh I use the command "ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root" Dec 05 16:58:26 and then when it asks for the password I just hit enter and I'm in Dec 05 16:59:18 ok Dec 05 17:01:56 I use that command the answer is "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" Dec 05 17:02:21 can someone refer the following URL and provide their valuable inputs (http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/p/307657/1070902.aspx#1070902) Dec 05 17:03:30 we dont do e2e here Dec 05 17:03:53 also, almost nobody here does CONF headers Dec 05 17:04:02 most boot from FAT32 Dec 05 17:04:03 happily I might add Dec 05 17:05:13 flgsr: you made a classic mistake Dec 05 17:05:18 never mention beagle on e2e Dec 05 17:05:28 always name some EVM instead Dec 05 17:05:32 Thank you for that when we posted a question they asked us to repost here Dec 05 17:05:39 indeed Dec 05 17:05:55 I understood now Dec 05 17:06:00 [18:03] also, almost nobody here does CONF headers Dec 05 17:06:01 [18:03] most boot from FAT32 Dec 05 17:06:03 [18:03] happily I might add Dec 05 17:07:20 why "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" what's wrong after typing command "192.168.7.2 -l root"? Dec 05 17:07:25 I don't understand what is meant by almost nobody here does CONF headers and most boot from FAT32 Dec 05 17:08:44 what part did you not understand? Dec 05 17:08:49 dury: no idea, had the host before another key? Dec 05 17:08:58 this happens after re-installing etc Dec 05 17:09:16 bye Dec 05 17:09:35 sorry it's ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root Dec 05 17:09:48 forgot ssh Dec 05 17:16:52 are you saying that on beaglebone the device always formats eMMC in FAT32 format and boots from it? So that eMMC is never configured in RAW mode? Dec 05 17:26:10 can somebody provide some inputs on eMMC booting from AM335x processor on beagle bone black Dec 05 17:27:59 flgsr: yes, we use emmc in FAT32 mode, not in raw Dec 05 17:28:04 yes, we all have a FAT16 partition with uboot on it. and one or more linux partitions. Dec 05 17:28:17 flgsr: so are asking at the wrong place Dec 05 17:28:24 ask in e2e where the "professionals" are :) Dec 05 17:28:28 just dont mention beagle Dec 05 17:28:35 then they send you here to the amateurs Dec 05 17:32:13 flgsr: short version on how "we" boot BBB.. am335x rom code finds FAT partition on the eMMC, loads and runs MLO (which is stripped down uboot) into SoC internal SRAM, MLO then activates SDRAM etc and loads uboot (from same FAT partition), uboot reads uEnv.txt, runs its commands and finally loads the kernel from the root partition. Dec 05 17:33:22 Thank you for the replies and your time Dec 05 17:34:43 np Dec 05 17:38:36 I wonder if we really helped him.. or just invalidated the last 2 weeks of work he's been putting into raw emmc boot.. and now he has to tell his project manager ;) Dec 05 17:42:34 I have a device tree overlay that I'm able to load using the echo device_tree > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.8/slots and it works Dec 05 17:42:52 but when I try to make it load it at boot by changing uenv.txt, it sails to load the firmware Dec 05 17:43:07 it also takes a whole minute for the firmware load to fail Dec 05 17:43:32 anyone have any idea why it fails on boot, but runs if I load later on? Dec 05 17:44:29 dmesg? Dec 05 17:47:06 I have it greped to look for cape Dec 05 17:47:20 should I show you the whole thing? Dec 05 17:48:03 as in dmesg vs dmesg | grep cape Dec 05 17:49:06 http://pastebin.com/XGucbarr well here is the dmesg | grep cape Dec 05 17:49:57 http://pastebin.com/CEh4XPcm this is just regular dmesg Dec 05 18:02:03 yo Dec 05 18:02:21 anyone familiar with bonescript? Dec 05 18:03:04 i'm curious how it is setup to boot and listen on port 3000 and how cloud9 is configured, etc... is there documenation? Dec 05 18:03:54 you might just look at the angstrom recipes Dec 05 18:06:41 angstrom bonescript cloud9 node recipe? Dec 05 18:06:46 :) Dec 05 18:11:53 anyone want to hear about my project? Dec 05 18:43:49 Anyone have any idea why loading the cape at run time works, but loading at boot doesn't? Dec 05 18:44:23 Here's the device tree also, in case I did something wrong. I took the LCD4 cape file and changed some things and removed some things: http://pastebin.com/5h0ZwQgr Dec 05 19:38:54 jarrettv: oh, I really get frustrated by people that drop questions and run... especially when they don't even ask a real question. Dec 05 19:46:26 Hi, I am trying to reflash my BBB eMMC with the default image. I've loaded the MMC flasher image on a SD card, but user button or not, it doesn't seem to be booting from the SD card. My eMMC install is borked, but functional. How can I force it to boot from the SD card (with uEnv.txt or the boot prompt) or otherwise approach this? Dec 05 19:47:01 (I have a USB debugging cable) Dec 05 19:47:10 (debug/serial) Dec 05 19:54:03 jkridner: almost as much as people who think you have alzehiemers ? Dec 05 19:54:19 not quite as much as that. ;-) Dec 05 19:57:24 Imma try this uEnv.txt thing again.. Dec 05 19:58:34 hey jkrider im back again. I tryed loading the os onto the microSD card and it is still not booting. when I plug it into my win7 computer it gives me a usb malfunction error. any thoughts I tryed it on another computer and still get an error Dec 05 20:06:13 hazeshadow when you plug the usb cable into the PC, it should create two COM ports. One will show the bootup text. One can be used as a terminial once its fully booted. You probably need to see what is failing in the bootup text. I'd open both in putty and hit the reset button. Dec 05 20:06:24 (BB white specific) Dec 05 20:08:29 hazeshadow more than likely, you got too new of an image, and it expects you to have upgraded uboot already (on the on board memory), so it is failing to boot. Dec 05 20:09:02 I remember that painful scenario well. Dec 05 20:12:45 ok Ill try a earlier version any suggestions. I have a BB White Rev A2072 Dec 05 20:14:18 hazeshadow there are instructions for upgraded uboot, they may be handy for verifying your problem and for upgrading. Dec 05 20:26:14 jkridner, or people that think that's your nail polish in the photo. Dec 05 20:32:49 Hi Dec 05 20:36:02 <_av500_> Lo Dec 05 20:41:03 I deleted one of the dtbo's contained in the /lib/firmware folder and then loaded the dtbo tha tI just deleted Dec 05 20:41:11 and it worked, which is very confusing Dec 05 20:41:45 Are there dtbo files that are stored somewhere that isn't the /lib/firmware folder? Dec 05 20:44:57 anything in /usr/lib/firmware? Dec 05 20:45:54 nope nothing there, that folder doesn't exist Dec 05 20:46:28 'man find' Dec 05 20:48:08 maybe it's bundled into the initrd? :O Dec 05 20:48:21 I'm just guessing here Dec 05 20:49:10 or initramfs Dec 05 20:52:20 there he goes.. Dec 05 20:55:23 sorry lost internet connection... Dec 05 20:56:10 all I know is there are compiled and uncompiled device tree files. I thought some copy went into the boot loader device. Dec 05 20:56:32 like /boot/dbt directory or something like that. Dec 05 20:58:40 that's in regard to my problem soco? Dec 05 20:58:48 yes Dec 05 20:58:52 okay I'll check there Dec 05 20:59:09 and what are initrd and initramfs? Dec 05 21:00:54 initrm is a temp root file system loaded into memory to facilitate the boot process, before deciding what device to boot to. Dec 05 21:01:13 I think it is effectively mounted to /boot Dec 05 21:01:48 gotcha Dec 05 21:01:57 on the dual partition SD card, the initrm is likely the FAT32 first partition. Dec 05 21:02:52 That's the mmcblk0p1? Dec 05 21:06:05 yes, blk 0 is the SD card and partition 1 Dec 05 21:11:24 Okay, doesn't seem to be in there either. I mounted it and then used find /* -name BB-BONE-LCD4-01-00A0.dtbo Dec 05 21:15:50 throwmeabone so are you just trying to enable that cape module? Dec 05 21:16:44 usually you have to run /sys/devices/capemnger.8/slot BB-BONE-LCD4 to enable that, or something similar. Dec 05 21:16:59 what Dec 05 21:17:22 find / -name ... not /* Dec 05 21:17:58 also some dtbo:s can be included in the kernel at compile time. I think :) Dec 05 21:18:07 or any firmware Dec 05 21:18:16 Yea I'm reading a forum post now that seems to say that Dec 05 21:18:50 I'm trying to be able to change the cape to do what I want because I'm able to load that cape up at boot time Dec 05 21:19:12 but when I changed that cape source file and compiled it and then loaded it nothing changed, which was a little weird Dec 05 21:19:26 so i deleted it and it still loaded, so none of the changes that I was doing to the source code was making any difference Dec 05 21:20:16 and I guess I was using find wrong Dec 05 21:58:04 Can anyone tell me why the latest dist for xm has a 2012 date on it? Dec 05 21:58:14 Are they sunsetting the balls off it? Dec 05 22:51:09 Hmmmm drive by questions? ;) Dec 05 22:52:01 are you saying you have answers ds2? Dec 05 22:52:15 er. . I prolly missed something. . . Dec 05 22:53:05 I always have questions... Dec 05 22:53:12 but do you have answers? Dec 05 22:53:23 I don't. Dec 05 22:53:32 I'm a ludite. Dec 05 22:53:38 But I do have questions. Dec 05 22:54:01 Actually I might have answers, but I really doubt it. Dec 05 23:07:16 Hello guys, I am having a problem with my beaglebone black. It turns on with USB , however, when I connect the 5v power supply nothing happends. Any help is appreciated, thanks Dec 05 23:13:18 Do you know that the power supply is right for the board? is it 5V >1A and the right polarity? Dec 05 23:14:27 Maybe it's the polarity Dec 05 23:14:58 I will check this once I get home, thank you jkridner Dec 06 00:26:45 I want to use the Beagle to learn programming in an interesting, physical way. I have only worked with Labview. Would the Beagle be good for me? Dec 06 00:39:37 hi guys, anyone help me with a network manager nmcli question? Dec 06 00:40:08 nned to know who to set a static ip on eth0 with nmcli, documentation is crap Dec 06 00:41:42 vi is quite visual. Dec 06 00:44:26 i like to use vi over a vlc console mode screencast of a an xterm window running vi. Dec 06 00:44:40 sometimes, i can see what i'm doing, if the pixels align properly. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 06 02:59:58 2013
