**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 09 02:59:58 2014 Jun 09 03:25:09 well, screw it. after poking my head into various parts of the subfloor, i think i'll just throw a bigger hub on the AP Jun 09 03:37:02 I keep a wrt54g sitting around, with dd-wrt on it configured to act as a client off my house's AP and bridge all the wired ports to it Jun 09 03:37:30 so I can just drop "wired ports" anywhere I need 'em, for devices where that's easier. It served my printer for a long time until I got around to runnin a wire Jun 09 03:37:51 cheaper than a purpose-built client bridge, and more ports, too Jun 09 03:51:27 well, i already have an ap up there hooked up to a four port hub Jun 09 03:52:00 my biggest aversion with ethernet is that every once in a while i get some connections dropping and it's hard for me to tell how much is due to crappy wireless or crappy router or crappy internet Jun 09 03:53:04 yeah, wireless is always the blame-magnet. which it usually deserves :P Jun 09 03:53:32 i'm pretty sure i have a 8 or 16 port hub somewhere in my pile of tech in the basement Jun 09 03:53:41 the real question is whether i can find the power brick... Jun 09 04:11:13 later folks Jun 09 05:43:02 Dear all I have loaded a 4GB SD card with the MLO and EBOOTSD.nb0 and NK.bin that comes with the Demo package (AM335X_BeagleBoneBlack_WEC7_BIN_V0131), Jun 09 05:43:55 i formatted card with hp format tool, bt its not booting from sd card. reply if anyone tried this Jun 09 05:56:40 hi Jun 09 05:58:34 hi Jun 09 05:58:43 What's up Suri Jun 09 05:59:19 thnks for reply..............i am working with beaglebone black Jun 09 06:00:08 when i configure the board......always i have to boot the os from sd card........that takes more time......... Jun 09 06:01:41 how to configure internet access for beaglebone.. Jun 09 06:02:20 Give it an ethernet connection and wait for it to be assigned an IP Jun 09 06:03:39 well I made the ethernet connection........ Jun 09 06:05:03 And no ping from google? Is there an IP under ifconfig? Jun 09 06:07:21 ya.........it is generating IP ..... Jun 09 06:08:09 I have shared wireless internet acces with ethernet Jun 09 06:09:50 You mean the host computer has wireless that you've shared with the ethernet going to the beagle? Can you ping the host computer? Jun 09 06:11:25 yes.... Jun 09 06:12:19 Sounds like an issue in your Internet sharing. I have never once gotten internet sharing to work for me so I'm not much use there. Jun 09 06:13:55 Thnks for that.......basically how to write a GPIO program into the board using python script...... Jun 09 06:15:30 https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/gpio Jun 09 06:17:17 i tried that tutorial.....but how to import the Adafruit packages Jun 09 06:19:46 It would seem you have to install it from the internet not that it helps you right now. Jun 09 06:21:48 then how can i run GPIO program Jun 09 06:23:03 Learn C++? Access the GPIOs by the file system and create a .SH that does what you want? Jun 09 06:30:50 thats ok bu want to use python ............... Jun 09 06:33:31 don’t ping google Jun 09 06:33:38 ping yahoo or some other site Jun 09 06:33:46 google doesn;t actually reliably ping back ime Jun 09 06:34:22 though as i’m trying now i can’t ping any big name site Jun 09 06:34:26 maybe it’s something on my end Jun 09 06:35:26 from where to get the cross compiler for BBB ? Jun 09 07:42:45 Letothe2nd, congrats on the baby :) Jun 09 10:28:33 hi there I am having problems turning a new board on using DC 5V. Jun 09 10:29:00 Is there anyone willing to help a little? Jun 09 10:35:21 BBB A5C, Angstrom I guess, Embest clone, Works when USB is connected, I am having problems turning it on with DC 5V, pressing or holding power button does nothing. no other cables is connected Jun 09 11:00:54 hello my beaglebone shutdown while working on it what is the problem with it?? Jun 09 12:00:13 hm he left Jun 09 12:15:17 pls give me procedure to flash wec7 nk.bin to my beaglebone black through sd card Jun 09 12:16:19 what's a wek7 and a nk.bin? Jun 09 13:24:43 hi Jun 09 13:25:08 Need help to get start with beagle bone Jun 09 13:32:35 we all need help for something Jun 09 13:44:15 Hi ! I was wondering if a simple tutorial about display a cube thanks to opengl es existed ? I don't want to cross compile I just want to display a cube on my beaglebone black ... Jun 09 13:45:50 StevePeat first you should make clear you have all egl stuff on the board Jun 09 13:46:55 sorry, what egl ? Jun 09 13:46:59 what's Jun 09 13:48:27 if you do not know what gl and egl is you should forgot about cubes Jun 09 13:50:25 ok ok... I have been asked to do that and I admit that's mysterious even after hours of research on google that's why I'm bothering you... Jun 09 13:51:31 and why you said yes when you zero about the topic? Jun 09 13:51:35 +know Jun 09 13:52:11 because I have no choice Jun 09 13:52:39 there is always a choice Jun 09 13:52:56 It's not an obligation neither it's like a challenge of some sort resulting in the possibility of a job for me Jun 09 13:53:13 and I do need a job :) Jun 09 13:53:34 than start reading again Jun 09 13:53:39 or take some courses Jun 09 13:53:52 irc will not help you really when you start from zero Jun 09 13:54:00 hum ok ok Jun 09 13:54:13 doe you know somehtin about linux? Jun 09 13:54:26 do you know something about embedded and hardware? Jun 09 13:54:29 but do uou know where I could start reading things ? Yes but I'm no expert at all Jun 09 13:54:51 I would start first reading about gl and egl on wiki Jun 09 13:55:05 than I would start reading the beagleboard wiki site Jun 09 13:55:47 ok Jun 09 13:56:19 thank you anyway :) Jun 09 13:56:26 good luck Jun 09 13:56:45 you have a hard stony way before you Jun 09 13:57:06 :) Jun 09 13:59:37 Hi all. What's the difference between the 5V and "5V raw" pins? Jun 09 14:22:40 anyone with a clue as what to use as GNDs for UART1/2/4 in BBB? Jun 09 14:52:36 ..and how on earth is one supposed to make sure no pin is driven when connecting two BBBs via serial and one or both are being powercycled? Jun 09 14:56:53 or worse even, prevent external signals into the I/O pins until after the VDD_3V3B rail is up Jun 09 15:17:39 dugo_: Pretty simple, actually. Have the pins in common connected via a relay or pair of FETs, and drive the coil or gates by an AND gate that takes the VDD_3V3B rail from both units. Jun 09 15:17:53 Presto, only connected when both are up. Jun 09 15:25:54 thx, looks like i need to smarten up my dumb null-modem cable Jun 09 15:31:00 can someone please, refere me to some rosource on how to boot beaglebone black permanently from sd card? Jun 09 15:34:06 at least where to start. Jun 09 15:39:09 baby, baby, baby ooooh. Jun 09 15:45:17 dHOuZzZ delete MLO from internal emmc Jun 09 15:57:53 woglinde thank you! Jun 09 15:58:07 sure Jun 09 16:26:39 hello, i own a BBB and i was wondering if its possible to take over the usb slave and send your own data Jun 09 16:27:12 i am really diving in the deep here, but i wondered if i could make the BBB emulate a wired xbox controller and use it on the xbox. Jun 09 16:27:14 is this possible? Jun 09 16:31:13 oh, http://blog.gimx.fr/a-beagleboard-xm-based-usb-sniffer/ Jun 09 16:41:57 hmm any idea why on serial cable on bb-xm i've got garbage and the same cable on bbb works fine Jun 09 16:42:34 i'm using the same connections/power supply for both boards Jun 09 16:43:04 hey guys Jun 09 16:46:29 ohh thats a sniffer kernel Jun 09 17:50:00 on the default debian image on the rev C board, how do i get rid of the nodejs web interface? Jun 09 17:50:09 i'd like to use that port (and that RAM) Jun 09 17:51:44 actually... the whole install is really screwed up Jun 09 18:26:23 thefinn93 opkg is your friend Jun 09 18:26:27 its like dpkg Jun 09 18:26:41 its got debian on it Jun 09 18:26:47 then dpkg Jun 09 18:26:50 im still supposed to use opkg? Jun 09 18:26:51 to remove pckages Jun 09 18:26:52 yeah i did that Jun 09 18:27:07 idk what package to remove Jun 09 18:29:20 i looked for ones that might be it, but couldnt find much Jun 09 18:31:10 use one of the magic commands from google to find the process blocking the port Jun 09 18:32:40 i dont want to block the port, i want to free it up so i can put a normal webservr on there Jun 09 18:32:41 ie. apache Jun 09 18:40:16 dpkg -S is a good option Jun 09 18:50:02 thats to search... what im asking is, what do i search for? Jun 09 18:53:15 the package that contains the binary that is blocking your port Jun 09 18:54:09 uninstall node.js or it's associated package Jun 09 18:57:31 hello, is it possible to take over the usb slave and send and receive data yourself on the BBB? Jun 09 18:57:48 and if so, could somebody point me in the right direction. Jun 09 21:48:02 My BBB was working fine as a seedbox with ARM Arch, but since yesterday it won't turn on. I don't know what changed. Jun 09 21:48:05 When I plug the power source or the USB cable the PWR Led quickly blinks, but the board doesn't turn on. If I press the POWER button, the PWR led blinks too, but it doesn't proceed to boot. Jun 09 21:53:09 have you tried removing all power and rebooting? Jun 09 21:57:38 Yes! Jun 09 21:58:01 victor using an sd card? Jun 09 21:58:04 I also tryed to boot from the SD card Jun 09 21:58:11 oh... Jun 09 21:58:32 No, I installed to the eMMC Jun 09 22:12:26 Any ideas on things I could check? Jun 09 22:53:48 cool seems like the lates arch alarm silesystem solved all my wifi woes :) (although im now considering just running it cabled so i can use POE ) Jun 09 22:54:01 filesyste,* Jun 09 22:55:18 how long would you guys say would be a reasonable amount of time to leave it running to check for connection stability Jun 09 23:44:03 hi all, my bbb got wet (was not at home while it was raining through the opened window) and now every led is on. what does that mean? Jun 10 01:15:34 is it possible to mount the emmc from a bbb to a linux system? Jun 10 01:29:55 now, the leds are plaing pingpong Jun 10 02:21:31 hello all, do our models have a warranty? Jun 10 02:28:15 you can RMA if they do not function properly, but I imagine if it's been shorted you won't get a replacement Jun 10 02:28:38 what kind of warranty are you looking for? Jun 10 02:34:54 licensing agreement Jun 10 02:35:40 how is that a warranty? Jun 10 02:37:04 i need both Jun 10 02:37:07 it's open hardware, pretty much the only thing I can think of that you can't do is use the trademarked names if you do copy it Jun 10 02:39:20 do you gentlemen build products? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 10 02:59:59 2014
