**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Dec 17 03:00:00 2013 Dec 17 03:09:09 Thanks for the info by /msg, I will email him directly since he seems to be AFK here. Dec 17 03:10:25 FYI: the HoRNDIS drivers have a new release which is very significant for Mac users. Dec 17 03:10:45 (it fixes Connection Sharing so we can enable internet access over the USB tether). Dec 17 04:08:52 any Angstrom fans in here? Dec 17 05:30:50 hi.. is that possible to make wifi USB dongle as a plug and play device in Beaglebone.. Dec 17 07:37:24 ? Dec 17 08:00:24 Hi, Beagle's pins P9-5 and P9-6 are 5Vraw , they have 0 ohm direct connection to power supply connector, so I suppose I can feed Power Voltage also from these pins instead Power Connector, isn't it ??? Dec 17 08:11:36 hello Dec 17 08:14:28 Freddie: see the schematics Dec 17 08:23:59 Hi, does anyone know of like a 'loop' connector for header pins ? Dec 17 08:28:58 @av500 : The manual helps... : Dec 17 08:29:16 It is possible to provide 5V to the main board from an expansion board. By supplying a 5V signal into the VDD_5V rail, the main board can be supplied. Dec 17 08:29:32 Thanks for suggestion Dec 17 08:32:13 ugh, has anyone here screwed around with RCN's stable-kernel? Dec 17 08:32:19 I need to build the kernel tools Dec 17 08:32:34 I can't figure out where it puts the build output Dec 17 08:34:16 * av500 does not screw other's kernels Dec 17 08:47:59 honestly: honestly Dec 17 08:48:11 ಠ_ಠ Dec 17 08:55:05 hi Dec 17 08:55:44 can someone pl help me with the issue of maintaining RTC in beaglebone black that operates with desktop ubuntu? Dec 17 08:59:11 ? Dec 17 09:05:47 ? Dec 17 09:17:19 ¿ Dec 17 10:00:01 Hi all. I have some problem with Access Point. Detailed description here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20584867/wifi-access-point-in-beaglebone Please help me. Dec 17 10:09:59 jsmith_: 1) this is not really a beagle problem Dec 17 10:10:10 jsmith_: 2) you have not provided any information Dec 17 10:10:17 jsmith_: 3) have a look at the log files Dec 17 10:17:00 damn they give op to swisses now ? Dec 17 10:17:09 that's very scary Dec 17 10:17:42 oh, yeah, he won the miss december contest Dec 17 10:18:18 xD Dec 17 10:20:19 das: we always had op, you just didnt know it Dec 17 10:21:12 * LetoThe2nd operates KotH Dec 17 10:21:40 ieeeck! a sandworm touched my shoulder! Dec 17 11:07:08 does it mattery much if i want to use usb for things like a gps/cam? oppose to using capes? Dec 17 11:08:50 no Dec 17 11:10:01 wow! Dec 17 11:10:18 an infrared core camera in a quad Dec 17 11:10:19 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQX6mzq2MGU#t=0 Dec 17 11:10:46 it's too bad flir doesn't sell the tau outside us! :( Dec 17 13:09:05 Hi, I had my beaglebone black wired with a relay board, using a transistor to separate different voltage sources. A wifi usb adapter was connected to the Bone too. Everything was running smoothly but, when i unplugged the adaptor e plugged it again, the system stopped working. It wasn't the first time e since then everything was ok... now it won't boot, only the pwr led blink for a second when i apply some voltage source. I tried to press t Dec 17 13:09:05 he power button during the boot, ma nothing happen. Is my board fried? Dec 17 13:45:06 maybe Dec 17 13:45:22 connect a serial cable to the debug header and see Dec 17 13:56:38 i'm a bit confused about the capes address selection via the dip switch. i have a black with a lcd7 and rs232 capes, and can't get them to work together. Dec 17 13:58:22 there is a faq on the site about the lcd7 display saying to set different addressess in case of multiple capes, but nothing more. what should i do *exaclty*? is it enough to play with the dip switches and set them different? Dec 17 13:59:09 (indeed, i found a combination that enables both of them, but then eth0 says no carrier...) Dec 17 14:11:38 Hello, does one of the participants have insights on production status of BeagleBoardBlack? In Germany they are not available before 16th of January. Dec 17 14:12:26 That sounds about right. Dec 17 14:12:35 Christmas did a number on stock. Dec 17 14:12:49 Is there a production problem or simply high demand? Dec 17 14:12:52 Probably should have ordered one a few months back when everyone else did. :-/ Dec 17 14:13:04 Very high demand for the holidays. Dec 17 14:15:10 production runs three shifts a day Dec 17 14:15:37 I thought with the production capabilities world wide this would not happen. Dec 17 14:15:53 JoE6: Fortunately for you, the whole board is open source, so you can just make your own if you are in a hurry. ;-P Dec 17 14:16:10 JoE6: I think you underestimated just how many people want the bone for Christmas. Dec 17 14:16:15 JoE6: Get over it. ;-P Dec 17 14:17:50 Thanks for the DIY tip - I am just not familiar with BGA soldering... :-) Dec 17 14:18:28 Has to be a first time for anything. Dec 17 14:18:44 its made in texas Dec 17 14:18:48 not world wide Dec 17 14:20:48 oh, intel wants to buy broadcom ... doe that mean x86 based RPi's ? Dec 17 14:20:51 *does Dec 17 14:21:27 my coworker: god bless them, will they close it down Dec 17 14:21:30 ? Dec 17 14:21:51 heh Dec 17 14:25:54 just found a bone_capemgr.9: slot #3: BB-BONE-SERL-03 conflict P9.21 (#1:BB-BONE-LCD7-01) in my logs. any hint on how to avoid this? Dec 17 14:27:59 samael: find what else is trying to use P9.21? Dec 17 14:28:12 well, LCD7 and SERL Dec 17 14:28:17 says that line Dec 17 14:28:19 no? Dec 17 14:29:25 yep, but it's not clear to me how to proceed to make them work together. Dec 17 14:29:57 what does P9.21 do for them? Dec 17 14:32:25 on 232 cape is UART2_RXD, and on LCD7 is... nothing, indeed. wtf. Dec 17 14:32:58 i've just rtfm about a similar problem on LCD4: p9.21 is marked as exlusive use but not actually used at all Dec 17 14:33:14 cfr this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/O83YNfhqKNc Dec 17 14:33:29 follow the exact steps on disabling the hdmi overlay Dec 17 14:33:50 but a quick hack could be changin the UART number, i guess Dec 17 14:34:32 mdp: i can give it a try, as i don't need the hdmi output Dec 17 14:43:53 samael, there's a comment and instructions in uEnv.txt. you can edit it right from your booted BBB Dec 17 14:50:32 i orderd a bbb today Dec 17 14:50:46 good Dec 17 14:51:34 av500: do most people code in "bonescript":? Dec 17 14:52:15 no idea Dec 17 14:52:18 so many people Dec 17 14:54:15 mdp: yep, just tried with optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1 Dec 17 14:55:04 we need a poll feature Dec 17 14:55:17 it could display on the helpdesk big board Dec 17 14:55:19 ttyO1 comes up and LCD works fine, but eth0 has no carrier again. i wonder if ethernet signals are involved with P8 and P9 pins, sounds strange Dec 17 14:55:33 samael, no Dec 17 14:55:54 best to look elsewhere for your eth0 issue Dec 17 14:57:37 mdp: ok thanks! Dec 17 15:48:34 any tips on how to get beagle to stop hanging on libphy: PHY ... Dec 17 15:50:58 When purchasing a beagleboard-xm do I need to purchase any additional peripherals or does the original purchase come with all the necessary "stuff" to get the board running? Dec 17 16:06:11 hi! Dec 17 17:14:45 [kernel] RobertCNelson pushed 1 new commit to 3.12: http://git.io/LNY86w Dec 17 17:14:45 kernel/3.12 0114cf0 Robert Nelson: 3.12: add note about powerdown broken... Dec 17 19:13:56 How can writing to a single GPMC address kill the heartbeat led on my bone? Dec 17 19:15:01 <_av500_> wrong address? Dec 17 19:15:06 <_av500_> wait state? Dec 17 19:15:10 <_av500_> bus error, kernel halt Dec 17 19:21:05 What would do you mean by bus error? Dec 17 19:22:53 <_av500_> bad address Dec 17 19:22:58 <_av500_> unmapped memory Dec 17 19:23:03 <_av500_> what does the serial log say? Dec 17 19:29:57 Nothing on the serial log Dec 17 19:30:41 Seems to only happen when the gpmc pins are floating (not connected to the other device) Dec 17 19:42:07 <_av500_> so it just halts? Dec 17 19:47:50 have you applied any type of configuration to the gpmc registers? Dec 17 20:22:30 Im not sure what it does, but the led stop blinking, it prints nothing on the console and I cannot do anything anymore with it Dec 17 20:23:12 mdp: Yes GPMC registers are configured for 16 bit wide comminucation with fpga Dec 17 20:24:48 I've now run tens of tests, and if the bone is free floating it always crashes in a matter of 15 seconds, if its plugged it has not crashed in maybe 1 hour of looping tests Dec 17 20:26:17 A EE friend of mine suggested it might be related to the bus hold feature because AD0-15 are left floating for a couple of ns during a write cycle, and the bus hold is triggered immediately after Dec 17 20:27:35 <_av500_> hold? Dec 17 20:33:39 Actually I'm only doing writes, so the bone is supposed to be in control of the pins at all times, what I said last does not apply Dec 17 20:35:46 <_av500_> right Dec 17 20:40:03 Pretty crazy anyway that wiggling pins has the bone kill itself Dec 17 20:45:41 huh? Dec 17 20:47:33 eggzeck: http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums/?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2Fo1CE4wQ8yrE%2FiZUxDtJ3Ze0J Dec 17 20:59:20 upwardindex, have you checked that all your timing parameters you programmed are in acceptable limits? Dec 17 20:59:57 upwardindex, an improperly programmed weontime etc. can cause a lockup Dec 17 21:00:36 it's obviously very specific to your device so you'll have to verify Dec 17 21:03:24 mdp: Hmmm, not I'm not sure the timings were checked with regards to the am335x Dec 17 21:03:58 mdp: Although I'm not using any wait state monitoring or anything of the sort Dec 17 21:31:16 any clever idea how i can reset the password on a ubuntu which is flashed on an eMMC ? Dec 17 21:31:35 i borrowed the board to a friend and he did some magic changed the default password and forgot it... Dec 17 21:31:47 and reflashing is not the solution Dec 17 21:34:31 hi everyone! anyone here using a lcd7 cape? Dec 17 21:36:06 and experiences a "jumping" cursor when clicking? Dec 17 21:37:23 and knows how to resolve it? :) Dec 17 21:38:15 can anyone tell me what are the prerequisites for starting off to beaglebone programming Dec 17 21:38:59 tim__: Are you a programmer already? What kind of stuff do you want to do with it? Dec 17 21:39:04 having a beaglebone is generally a first step Dec 17 21:39:51 i know baic languages like java c++ &c Dec 17 21:40:25 i want to make an autonomous car using it Dec 17 21:42:00 c and c++ are fine, java slightly slow but if you're not doing anything time critical you may be ok Dec 17 21:42:17 tim__: c is a good start. You might want to look into Arduino for some electronic stuff Dec 17 21:42:33 although the jav libraries will eat up a fair amount of the memory Dec 17 21:43:57 thanks Dec 17 21:44:46 anyone here with a lcd7 cape or other which uses its driver? Dec 17 21:48:22 Hello everyone. Dec 17 21:48:30 hi Raphael Dec 17 21:50:14 Hmm. First timer with a Beaglebone A6, just received it and cannot connect it through usb to a Macbook Pro… And just one Led ( sometimes two ) are blinking… If someone could help me. Dec 17 21:51:38 fedlap: here Dec 17 21:51:39 do you have an ftdi serial cable? Dec 17 21:51:57 fedlap: i use an lcd4 regularly Dec 17 21:52:36 ezequielg: great :) do you experience a "jumping" cursor? Dec 17 21:52:48 fedlap: uh? Dec 17 21:52:56 fedlap: "jumping"? Dec 17 21:53:25 ezequielg: yeah, like when your clicking on the screen, the cursor randomly jumps around Dec 17 21:53:59 fedlap: well, i hide the cursor Dec 17 21:54:11 i don't have a cursor on this screen Dec 17 21:54:35 and you use the touch input? Dec 17 21:56:22 i mean, do you operate a gui with the lcd touch function? :) Dec 17 21:58:01 fedlap: yes Dec 17 21:59:28 ezequielg: and how accurate does the clicking feel like? Dec 17 22:00:41 is there a big difference between the a5a and a6 version? Dec 17 22:00:49 i see the change log, but am not sure if it's really a big deal Dec 18 02:34:38 Hi I am looking to turn the BBB into a SIP complaint VOIP interface. I've researched this briefly and have determined that the biggest obstacle is being able to capture an audio input and output. Has any one attempted to accomplish this and or is there any easy way to aquire a viable audio I/O? Dec 18 02:37:10 Anyone? Dec 18 02:37:34 Luke_: you can add an audio codec to the board pretty easily Dec 18 02:37:53 Luke_: you do need to make sure you optimize the voip application for arm though Dec 18 02:43:28 usb mic/speaker ports? Dec 18 02:43:34 prpplague: Alright thanks I think that helps. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Dec 18 02:59:59 2013
