**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 27 03:00:01 2014 Apr 27 04:24:38 hi Apr 27 04:57:02 Hi everyone. Does anyone know that how to access to the internal eMMC using a custom kernel? Do I need to turn any options in kernel config to see them? Apr 27 04:59:29 if you're building a custom kernel you should follow the guides Apr 27 04:59:34 then enable what you need to Apr 27 05:06:35 I'm using a beagle bone black with a custom kernel, I can see mmcblk0xxx under /sys/class/block which is obviously the external sdcard, but I can't see those eMMC devices. Do I need to turn on some options in the kernel? Apr 27 05:07:25 have you tried looking at the kernelconfig for one of the official imageS? Apr 27 05:09:50 Well I built that kernel using the official source (and official ways to build it). What kind of configs should I concern? I tried searching emmc, no luck. Apr 27 05:44:16 do you have the dtb loaded for emmc? Apr 27 07:26:30 i have a BBB with 3.8.13-bone27 kernel. I need to cross compile a driver for it. how do i checkout and patch the kernel source for bone27? Apr 27 07:39:23 johnwalkr: you go to the distro you used and use its method to cross compile Apr 27 07:48:25 i’m following this guide: http://wiki.beyondlogic.org/index.php/BeagleBoneBlack_Building_Kernel#ARM_Cross_Compiler Apr 27 07:49:31 it’s fine, but i’m assuming that it patches with the latest patch. i think i need to specify an older patch though Apr 27 12:47:02 Where to buy the BB black rev C? Either no one has it (in Germany) or delivery date sometime in June. Apr 27 12:48:12 It isn't available yet. Apr 27 12:49:49 rev B then? Apr 27 12:50:02 or A? Or something at least painted black? Apr 27 12:50:15 except a SR-71 of course :-) Apr 27 12:52:25 order and wait.. Apr 27 12:52:47 or pay twice as much and get it from one of the scalpers.. Apr 27 12:56:36 indeed Apr 27 12:57:45 If it was only twice as much. Some individual offers them for 999 EUR on eBay Apr 27 13:01:27 you can get them for about $100 without the wait if you look around enough Apr 27 13:01:49 or the normal $50 odd if you want to wait like everyone else Apr 27 13:02:21 and most people who placed orders got theirs in like 2-4 weeks Apr 27 13:02:29 yup Apr 27 13:03:24 and im not sure paying some "scumbag" 100% markup is something people should be doing..... it only encourages them to do it more.... Apr 27 14:27:47 I'd actually pay the 100$ for one to have a prototyping exemplar earlier. Any pointers as of where to "look around enough" is certainly appreciated. Apr 27 14:40:54 have you checked ebay? Apr 27 14:51:43 I have. 999 EUR = 1350 US$ - I think that's a little bit too much Apr 27 15:22:48 Hello! I install the eMMC Debian Image ... now it seems there is no space left in debian ... can this someone confirm? Apr 27 15:23:10 Try to install java 8 ... but not enough space available :-( Apr 27 15:25:54 is there maybe the grafic GUI in the image? Apr 27 15:26:04 fohnbit: df -h Apr 27 15:26:14 fohnbit: to display used/free space on disks Apr 27 15:33:17 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 1.7G 1.7G 0 100% / udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs 100M 556K 99M 1% /run /dev/disk/by-uuid/5bafb859-c49a-4fcd-9a00-3c107705b55a 1.7G 1.7G 0 100% / tmpfs Apr 27 15:33:39 There are many Filesystems Apr 27 15:34:39 Moundet on: / , /dev, /run, /dev/shm, /sys/fs/cgroup, /run/user, /run/lock, /boot/uboot Apr 27 15:34:58 which one is my "normal" Filesystem? Apr 27 15:39:46 / Apr 27 15:40:14 so you have used 1.7G out of 1.7G Apr 27 15:40:18 so yes its full Apr 27 15:40:44 Ok, but it is a fresh image :-( Apr 27 15:41:19 I found a folder with the name "icons" with 165MB Apr 27 15:41:34 So I guess there is a GUI Apr 27 16:07:53 Ok, I found that GNOME is installed Apr 27 16:23:36 But has only 57MB Apr 27 16:24:03 @all: Has someone a Debian Image link without a GUI ... just console Apr 27 16:29:13 why not just set the runlevel to console Apr 27 16:34:58 Because I have no space left on the eMMC Apr 27 16:35:19 I download now another BBB Debian image ... try this, because it is much smaller Apr 27 16:35:41 ah.. good reason Apr 27 16:35:54 I dont know why there is so less space Apr 27 16:36:53 I Try: https://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/wheezy/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.4-2014-04-18-2gb.img.xz Apr 27 16:37:03 from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian Apr 27 16:37:22 hope this is not so big Apr 27 16:38:52 and does someone know what it means with the script for writing eMMC? (this is the script that writes to the eMMC) Apr 27 16:39:20 Normaly with dd I generate the SD card and with User Button flash to the eMMC Apr 27 17:01:35 Ok, its now fine. 1.3G free on Filesystem :-) Apr 27 17:06:37 Is it possible to made a Full Backup of the eMMC and restore it on another? Apr 27 17:07:37 if you have a uSD bigger than the eMMC I don't see why not .. Apr 27 17:07:56 CCO must have a way of programming it from uSD anyway Apr 27 17:08:02 or somehow else ;) Apr 27 17:11:49 @veremit: But you don have a tutorial or something similar? Apr 27 17:13:02 found. http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents Apr 27 17:13:19 no .. people just usually download an image to uSD and flash the eMMC .. dont know why you'd wanna 'copy' the eMMC .. unless you wanted to back up the factory image Apr 27 17:13:38 since you can download the factory image .. why bother lol Apr 27 17:14:54 in principle .. just dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/mmcblk1p2/myimage.bin .. or similar Apr 27 17:15:49 but don't quote me on that .. need to get your numbers right, etc Apr 27 17:18:54 I need this, because I want setup a smart power meter system ... and then I want to "copy" the BBB Apr 27 17:19:24 just create an image on uSD which copies to the eMMC .. do your dev work on uSD NOT The eMMC .. Apr 27 17:19:51 well .. its not quite as simple as that .. but you get the picture .. I can't remember quite how I did it. Apr 27 17:20:46 you have to hack the eMMC flasher image from the web and put your own image in Apr 27 17:21:05 obviously you have to figure that out yourself ..although there will be hints online ofc .. google is always a good friend Apr 27 17:21:39 I highly doubt anyone's written a howto for tht kinda thing .. because its exactly what the beagle manufacturers want to avoid with mass usage of the BBB Apr 27 17:23:35 OK, I try to check it ... I can also generate a .sh script to all changes automatic, if an own image is to complicated Apr 27 17:23:37 thanks Apr 27 18:23:38 i can not get my bbb to boot. Only have the blue power light on. Nothing is plug in to the bbb Apr 27 18:40:13 Mike_PA Try holding the button near the SD card slot while you apply power, the 4 leds should come on, wait for just 2 leds, then release the button Apr 27 18:59:54 should there be a card in the SD? Apr 27 19:25:04 if it doesn't force it to boot from the on board card, then yes that's the next step Apr 27 20:16:54 has anybody used a 3.2 tft lcd with touchscreen with the beaglebone? blacK? Apr 27 21:39:43 anyone know of a BSD distro that has the USB Host port working? Apr 27 21:39:51 on beaglebone Apr 27 21:52:16 who can access their bbb over lan? mines not working Apr 27 22:01:44 if i have downloaded the windows 64 bit driver and my board is still not being recognized, is there another driver i need? Apr 27 22:16:00 the usb port on my computer doesn't even show it is being used when i connect my board to it. is there a driver i am missing? Apr 27 22:43:22 Hello, I just received my BBB from adafruit. It has the stock angstrom install. I disabled all of the stock web server stuff and installed php and lighttpd sucessfully. My next test was to get http auth working. It seems that when lighttpd installs, it does not install lighttpd-module-auth. I check this with opkg list-installed | grep light and it does not show up. opkg install lightppd-module-auth does not work. Anyone able to help w Apr 28 00:30:01 Hello! I'm trying to understand the boot process of the BBB, does anyone know where I can find any information at all regarding how uboot works with the BBB? Apr 28 00:50:59 http://ahsoftware.de/Beaglebone_Black_Boot_explained.svg Apr 28 00:51:07 not like its in the channel topic ;) Apr 28 00:53:10 Hello, I just received my BBB from adafruit.
