**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 24 03:00:02 2014 Jul 24 03:37:57 How can i tell if the emmc flash is working on my beaglebone black Jul 24 03:59:38 <_av500_> why should it not work? Jul 24 04:30:54 _av500_: Bad SD card, bad image Jul 24 04:31:06 I have no idea, that's why I'd like to know if the process is working Jul 24 07:25:00 anyone had problems with microsd read timeouts (-110) for low(ish) temperatures? like http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/MicroSD-I-O-Errors-td4968025.html Jul 24 07:29:39 tasslehoff: ouch Jul 24 07:29:55 ... Jul 24 07:29:56 I ask on linux-mmc / linux-ext4 / linux-omap and the answer was it Jul 24 07:29:58 should work. Jul 24 07:30:00 ... Jul 24 07:30:01 :) Jul 24 07:32:02 av500: hmm. we got a report from production. when they booted a cold uSD, stuff like this began Jul 24 07:32:11 not fun at all :) Jul 24 07:36:59 av500: have you had the same issues, or was the above a quote from someone else? Jul 24 07:39:01 from your link Jul 24 07:39:04 hence the ... Jul 24 07:43:01 I was pretty sure it was not you, based on the "I ask on" :) Jul 24 07:44:39 ... is "here follows something from a link" or "here follows something from that link" or "here follows something I did not say"? Jul 24 08:02:47 tasslehoff: ?? Jul 24 08:03:13 http://gumstix.8.x6.nabble.com/MicroSD-I-O-Errors-tp4968025p4968610.html Jul 24 08:03:40 av500: I am rambling a lot today. what puzzles you? :) Jul 24 08:07:27 av500: yeah, I understood that. I just never saw stuff enclosed in ...'s on irc before, so I was curious if that is a common notation I should know Jul 24 08:07:42 I've had my coffee now, and I feel much better :p Jul 24 08:08:05 tasslehoff: well, since I cannot use BOLD or italics here :) Jul 24 08:11:32 :) Jul 24 08:16:37 av500: morning Jul 24 08:16:57 yesterday you told me to use a counter Jul 24 08:17:24 but I still want to understand what facilities the linux kernel offers Jul 24 08:22:06 afaik there is a way for the kernel to tell user space that a GPIO changed Jul 24 08:24:13 usually one would use interrupt and edge + poll()/select(), IMHO Jul 24 08:25:22 yeah Jul 24 08:26:09 still, I patented the counter method yesterday... Jul 24 08:28:05 you mean "parented" Jul 24 09:02:22 hello. I have a small problem with the beaglebone. Jul 24 09:02:43 it exports it self some pwm pins and I cant echo them to slots Jul 24 09:03:05 but I can see them when I use ls -l in /sys/devices/ocp,3/ Jul 24 09:03:24 though I cant do anything with them. Jul 24 09:28:48 hi Jul 24 09:54:31 back, ok LetoThe2nd, I saw how to write a device tree that will associate the gpio to an event, but then I have to poll the event instead of pulling the /sys/class/gpio Jul 24 09:55:03 I was hoping that in case I use an event, the kernel will call a function I can write. Jul 24 09:55:16 and then the os is taking care of the polling for me Jul 24 10:24:15 cityoflights2, that's what poll/select does. The kernel wakes up your code when an even occurs Jul 24 10:24:27 er, when an event Jul 24 10:25:25 cityoflights2: the kernel does not call userspace functions Jul 24 10:25:30 https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/gpio/sysfs.txt Jul 24 10:30:41 thanks, let me read.... Jul 24 10:33:06 cityoflights2, man 2 poll Jul 24 10:33:11 try if this works for you Jul 24 11:48:47 any idea if the REV C boards have another dts than the older ones ? Jul 24 11:49:26 hopefully, as they have a larger nand Jul 24 11:49:57 i don't have a rev c board, any clue where i can get my hands of a dts for those ones ? Jul 24 11:51:00 vvu, instruct me on dts, I have sitting a c in front of me Jul 24 11:51:29 jhn: one second, i don't know the location of it Jul 24 11:51:38 it should be in the boot folder i think so Jul 24 11:51:38 /boot/ Jul 24 11:52:14 if there a a .dtb file there that is perfect Jul 24 11:53:44 ls /boot initrd.img3.8.13-bone47 and uboot Jul 24 11:54:40 i will ping you if when i find out :) Jul 24 11:58:25 hey, so now that i've slept over my whole laser issue.. should I give iio a shot or go straight to some other ideas like the video out av500, LetoThe2nd? Jul 24 12:00:10 luastoned1: i personally think the iio approach is one of the most portable. once finished, you can use the approach on any other, faster board if the BBB is too slow. Jul 24 12:00:59 true, I haven't thought about that.. alright thanks for the input yesteday Jul 24 12:02:33 it is maybe not the easiest one, software wise, but on the other hand it offers a good learning opportunity. Jul 24 12:06:26 yeah, kinda hard to get started indeed, that's why I was asking for other people who might have written their own iio drivers Jul 24 12:10:29 they're all neatly listed in the kernel sources :) Jul 24 12:10:31 Hi, I have soldered my BBB with Jtag Connector and While I power up the BBB, the Power LED not turning ON. Any ideas please? Jul 24 12:15:38 LetoThe2nd: i'm aware since you told me but there are no instructions whatsoever on howto use them.. :P Jul 24 12:16:29 luastoned1: well its kernel modules, and the interface for iio is supposed to be coherent Jul 24 12:16:44 k Jul 24 12:17:05 jhn: 85356 Freising Jul 24 12:17:11 /boot/uboot/dtbs Jul 24 12:17:13 this is the path Jul 24 12:17:17 at least in the latest debian image Jul 24 12:17:32 luastoned1: granted, there are maybe no copy paste examples, but its basically all there. Jul 24 12:17:59 yeah that would be too nice, I guess I just have to learn about low level linux things Jul 24 12:18:01 vvu: hrhr, whats in freising besides ti german quarters? Jul 24 12:18:46 vvu, lotsa dtb there. what u need? Jul 24 12:18:48 just me curently in the office, the rest of the peeps are not here Jul 24 12:18:55 beagle-boneblack.dtb Jul 24 12:19:11 jhn: am335x-boneblack.dtb Jul 24 12:20:03 jhn: also can you tell me the kernel version you are running Jul 24 12:23:00 vvu: i'd suggest heading over to the hofbräuhaus Jul 24 12:23:57 did some optical experiments during the weekend, need some rest now :) Jul 24 12:25:44 vvu, Linux fcu 3.8.13-bone47 #1 SMP Fri Apr 11 01:36:09 UTC 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux Jul 24 12:25:58 perfect Jul 24 12:26:01 vvu, in need of an email address… Jul 24 13:18:45 anyway I can check to see if my BBB is fried? I was using it with linuxcnc and it was fine when I left it last night, but today when I try to power it on the blue power light comes on for a fraction of a second and goes off Jul 24 13:18:55 wasn't sure if there was something I could test with my multimeter or something Jul 24 13:20:54 that means it’s fried Jul 24 13:20:55 basically Jul 24 13:21:08 but try with a different power source Jul 24 13:21:21 I checked it with USB and the 5v wall adapter Jul 24 13:22:15 phew Jul 24 13:23:39 I really have no idea what would have fried it Jul 24 13:23:55 that is the worst part Jul 24 13:26:22 well the cpu is pretty fragile when it comes to inputs Jul 24 13:26:39 very easy to fry with 5v or even a noisy analog signal Jul 24 13:27:42 thews-work: also try booting it from a different known good SD card Jul 24 13:27:45 I had 3 microswitches and 1 thermistor as an input so far Jul 24 13:27:51 tbr: I tried with and without sdcard Jul 24 13:27:58 just blinks quickly and goes off Jul 24 13:28:12 I had some outputs but there are diodes in place Jul 24 13:28:31 and the SD card is known working? as a wrong SD card would show like this too Jul 24 13:28:32 I just tested orientation on them again to be sure Jul 24 13:29:02 tbr: yeah the sdcard is fine Jul 24 13:29:23 I mean, you have verified that it contains a bootable setup for the BBB Jul 24 13:29:37 preferably boot test it on a second board Jul 24 13:29:48 I don't have another Jul 24 13:29:49 or failign that prepare it from scratch Jul 24 13:29:59 is why it's not very ideal Jul 24 13:30:09 usually you get more lights than just the power no matter what Jul 24 13:30:22 pwr is the only one that lights briefly Jul 24 13:31:31 the only thing I can think that I may have done is touched some of the contacts with my finger Jul 24 13:32:40 if you're in a humid environment, static is somewhat less likely, but still possible Jul 24 13:33:18 not sure but that is consisten with it being fried Jul 24 13:33:28 the short flash imean Jul 24 13:35:48 I just checked over the board and some of the canned duster stuff on it... didn't help any Jul 24 13:36:41 I have a hot air rework station and all of those kinds of goodies, just wished there was a definitive test Jul 24 13:38:31 the pmic causes taht behaviour, you can google pmic flashing led or something.. Jul 24 13:38:46 and you cna try to replace the pmic in case it is at fault Jul 24 13:47:50 * thews-work checks to see if a BBB is available locally Jul 24 13:55:21 looks like there might be one Jul 24 14:08:42 emailed em Jul 24 14:23:22 panto: thanks for the poll link I am using python, and while the sensor was on, I didn't poll any change, I guess I need a shorter sample rate. Jul 24 14:24:01 cityoflights2, wait, check whether gpio changes cause poll events Jul 24 14:24:11 via another pin that you can toggle Jul 24 14:27:13 panto: I always sense 1 , since I used a pullup on the pin. Jul 24 14:27:28 How can I catch a single drop to zero? Jul 24 14:27:57 well , I guess I need to use a code in C and pull Jul 24 14:49:50 I tested it a bit more and saw that if I held it in my without standoffs and my fingers touched random components on the back the power flashed again like it does if you push power Jul 24 14:50:12 which makes me feel like it could be the pmic Jul 24 14:58:51 not a cheap chip Jul 24 15:15:33 hi everyone Jul 24 15:27:57 I've got a rev A6A Beaglebone Black, I'm running OSX 10.9.4 and it's not showing up as a storage device when i plug it in Jul 24 15:29:34 ryanneufel, haven’t we been there before? Jul 24 15:30:02 yup, wasn't aware we'd left Jul 24 15:36:11 The getting started instructions can be vague Jul 24 15:36:40 I'm trying to update the image to the debian one (I like debian better) but I've been unable to tell if it worked or not Jul 24 15:50:15 thews: if you want to test the pmic Jul 24 15:50:29 protip you cna get a free sample from TI Jul 24 15:50:45 cause yeah other wise they are like $50 each Jul 24 16:16:07 jhn: So it looks like when i boot from the SD card, it's not kicking off what ever process is needed to install to eMMC or if it is, I'm not sure how to tell. Jul 24 16:20:42 You need a special image on the uSD that boots and flashes the eMMC. It is documented somewhere. Jul 24 16:25:28 SUNOFA Jul 24 16:25:32 I downloaded the wrong one Jul 24 16:26:25 chose the first one on teh page Jul 24 16:27:27 which admittedly is the safest Jul 24 16:29:17 I am not going to repeat the old RTFM adage… :-) Jul 24 16:31:02 and yet... Jul 24 16:41:54 is this working? Jul 24 16:44:50 nope Jul 24 17:16:23 jhn: https://gist.github.com/859cbe2ce32de065d6d4 this normal for the flashing process? Jul 24 17:48:15 ryanneufeld, sorry no clue. I am unsure myself what happens if you try to flash a non Rev C board with a Rev C image. Jul 24 17:49:15 nothing in the name says it's for any specific revision Jul 24 17:50:54 True, which might imply it works. might is NOT “i know for sure because i tried it myself”. Jul 24 17:52:30 the main thing with the older boards is smaller eMMC Jul 24 17:52:37 there won't be a lot of space left. Jul 24 17:52:42 I'm using the 2GB image Jul 24 17:53:25 This is what I understand. Can you be more specific, how much is left? Jul 24 17:54:00 sure, the image should fit on an older board, that's why it's built to 2GB. Jul 24 17:54:36 it's been a while since i've looked, but maybe only 300-400MB of free space? Jul 24 17:55:13 good luck Jul 24 17:55:16 * vagrantc waves Jul 24 17:55:40 ah, ok, not much fun then... Jul 24 18:11:13 oh man, having a serial cable is SO helpful Jul 24 18:14:54 ftdi is even more so on the bbb Jul 24 18:16:50 you mean using j!? Jul 24 18:16:56 *J1 Jul 24 18:17:06 Cause that's what i used Jul 24 18:17:16 the USB on it wasn't working as advertised Jul 24 18:18:57 can you use the SD card as additional storage? Jul 24 18:19:43 of course Jul 24 18:20:35 got a guid handy for that Humpelstilzchen? Jul 24 18:20:50 or do you just treat it like a regular block device? Jul 24 18:20:53 sure Jul 24 18:24:50 sweet Jul 24 18:24:58 works nicely Jul 24 18:25:46 well.... /dev/root 1.7G 1.5G 63M 97% / Jul 24 18:25:49 shoot Jul 24 18:27:24 I’m comparing /drivers/tty/serial/omap_serial.c between kernels 3.2 and 3.8 and it would seem that the driver no longer makes use of DMA. Anyone has encountered that issue? Jul 24 18:31:38 Bisecting it, it would seem that the regression is between 3.6 and 3.7 Jul 24 18:52:24 Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone had ever had success with installing the realtek 8192du wifi adapter drivers on a beagleboard or other arm-linux sbc. I've found a couple tutorials for building a kernel module for it, but there seems to be some crucial step missing, as none of my sbcs have a folder called /lib/modules//build. I've got that on my desktop, but that doesn't really help me cross compile for arm Jul 24 18:54:01 I'm somewhat of a linux 'beginner', so building kernel modules isn't a familiar process to me, nor is building the kernel for an arm sbc from source. any guidance on what I might be missing here would be appreciated. The guide I am following, for reference: https://blog.poettner.de/2012/08/22/how-to-compile-rtl8192cu-ko-for-raspberry-pi-running-raspian/ Jul 24 18:58:18 Or suggestions for another 5Ghz band usb wifi adapter that has easy to install drivers for arm devices would be great too :P Haven't been able to find any Jul 24 19:01:18 spiderkeys, is one of the supported adapters an option? http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#WIFI_Adapters Jul 24 19:03:09 jhn: unfortunately, no. Those all operate in the 2.4Ghz range Jul 24 19:05:14 It is really annoying, but I work at NASA and our IT security people have all kinds of restrictions on setting up wireless networks on the center. We aren't able to set up any 2.4Ghz routers, but we can use a few specific channels on the 5Ghz band. Unfortunately, none of the usb adapters that support 5Ghz seem to be supported on the beagleboard by default, which has led me on this wild goose chase to find a way to build this kernel Jul 24 19:05:59 I fear you might fear my answer then: In that case you must roll your own. Jul 24 19:06:17 Is that the real NASA or the other one with the missing A at the end?!?! :-) Jul 24 19:06:24 The real nasa, haha Jul 24 19:06:29 SCNR Jul 24 19:08:29 That is troubling news... I really don't know enough about linux or driver development to roll my own. Was sort of hoping I could just cross compile the realtek driver (which is open source) for arm. Some people seem to have done it, but as I mentioned, that /build/ folder is nonexistent so I can't run the make command Jul 24 19:08:57 Is that folder something that you choose to create when you build the linux kernel from source? Jul 24 19:09:55 There is no easy way in OSS - unless you use precompiled stuff, which might not contain the latest and greates or whatver other limitation. Jul 24 19:10:58 I cant cross compile gcc 4.9.1 because of a bracket limitation in Mac OS clang… Jul 24 19:13:10 Spiderkeys: /lib/modules/uname/build is just your kernel source Jul 24 19:13:43 ok, so basically it was just left out in the ubuntu image that I installed? Jul 24 19:14:06 yes, I assume its RCN's image? Jul 24 19:14:10 Yes Jul 24 19:14:21 the 14.04 minimal Jul 24 19:14:24 yeah so fetch kernel source from his git repo Jul 24 19:15:08 I think there should be a /proc/config.gz (or something similar) copy that into kernel source as .config Jul 24 19:15:17 after gunzip if neccessary Jul 24 19:15:20 make oldconfig Jul 24 19:15:34 then you should be able to point your module build to that directory Jul 24 19:22:43 XorA: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel - I notice here that there is no branch for 3.14.2, which is the kernel release that was included with the image I installed. His readme says that the build scripts automatically download the kernel source, but it seems like it starts at 3.15.x Jul 24 19:22:49 Am I missing something here? Jul 24 19:23:21 Spiderkeys: I don't have that level of knowledge about RCN's repo :-( Jul 24 19:23:43 I would love to pick his brain for a day... haha Jul 24 19:23:44 my BBW is in a box deep in a pile of cables running some services Jul 24 19:36:52 Ohh, he had a separate repository for 3.11+. Only 3.10.x and lower are available in his "stable kernel" repo Jul 24 19:44:01 XorA: thanks for the info. It seems like compiling this kernel module is within the realm of possibility now, I just need to get the linux-header files for each specific kernel on my various SBCs. Optimistically, this means I shouldn't have to rebuild any kernels :) Jul 24 19:44:39 Which is a good thing as ubuntu.org specifically states: Reasons for NOT compiling a custom kernel: You have no idea what you are doing, and if you break something, you'll need help fixing it. Depending on what you do wrong, you might end up having to reinstall your system from scratch. Jul 24 19:44:48 Which specifically describes me, haha Jul 24 19:46:40 Spiderkeys: glad I could help a little Jul 24 20:25:06 hi [22:24] i have a question how can i change my beagle bone from dabien to angstrom Jul 24 21:09:38 [kernel] EmbeddedAndroid opened pull request #98: cape: add BB-BONE-SERL-01-00A2 (3.8...3.8) http://git.io/_fnczg Jul 24 21:26:38 can the beaglebone run at 100% cpu at 1GHz, continuously? Jul 24 21:27:23 ...mine locked up. Jul 24 21:38:37 could you guys tell me if the hdmi cable is needed for the BeagleBoneBlacks first time setup? Jul 24 21:39:47 If you can handle a terminal via ssh or are happy to use the browser for the cloud9 environment: No. Jul 24 21:41:49 thanks Jul 24 21:45:37 jhn, you're a poor troll. Jul 24 21:45:51 ? Jul 24 21:47:24 you could have got a monster cable sale there with neoncat and profited like 1000% above cost. Jul 24 21:48:39 You should have enlightened me before my answer… :-) You forgo to mention the extraordinary S&H fees… :-) Jul 24 22:20:19 I think I like the leds on my element14 BBB more than the bb.org one Jul 24 22:24:15 looks like they use HASL pcbs and my old BBB looks like ENIG Jul 24 22:36:59 does bbb support sd hot-swapping? i've put in a card but nothing new has shown up in dev Jul 24 22:37:15 in the middle of something which is why i haven't tried rebooting yet Jul 24 22:37:39 no Jul 24 22:38:04 I wished it was harder to get the card out Jul 24 22:38:11 can make you have a bad time Jul 24 22:38:15 okay. good to know. will it if one has been put in on boot? or does it just crash or something Jul 24 22:38:27 (it's silly either way) Jul 24 22:38:50 there might be a way to do it, but it's not simple if there is Jul 24 22:39:02 it crashes easily if you boot from SD and bump it Jul 24 22:39:28 also interesting note it seems angstrom doesn't cleanly shut down the ssh server Jul 24 22:39:40 �ngstrom* Jul 24 22:39:58 I'd get away from angstrom :) Jul 24 22:40:04 that's what i'm in the process of doing Jul 24 22:40:08 just about to flash the sd card Jul 24 22:40:45 it seems to be hanging with every led except 3 on. does it think the card is bootable somehow? it shouldn't be Jul 24 22:41:47 it's usually a one or the other kind of deal what's on the card? Jul 24 22:41:57 it was an rpi image. might be why Jul 24 22:43:27 formatting hasn't helped Jul 24 22:44:01 the three leds except the one closest to the ethernet port are on Jul 24 22:44:21 why are you plugging in the sd card? trying to back it up or something? Jul 24 22:44:35 i was gonna write it with the beaglebone Jul 24 22:44:43 trying to put debian onto it Jul 24 22:44:48 while booted from emmc? Jul 24 22:44:51 the writer on my laptop is broken Jul 24 22:44:53 ideally Jul 24 22:45:04 hmm Jul 24 22:45:45 some emmc images try to boot to sdcard if it's inserted even w/o using user boot button Jul 24 22:46:06 so you might be better off to go get a usb sdcard reader from *insert local chain here* Jul 24 22:46:16 blah okay Jul 24 22:46:20 * tpw_rules thought he was being clever Jul 24 22:46:35 I've been there :) Jul 24 22:47:00 I've lost old readers I never thought I'd need again, and had to go buy another Jul 24 22:47:35 so far my only completely irrelevant at this point disappointment is no 1080p60 Jul 24 22:47:39 like why even hdmi Jul 24 22:49:01 but i don't even have a way to connect it to a monitor at this point Jul 24 22:49:37 I don't fully know the limits there, because the tre can do 1080 Jul 24 22:50:23 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/4vge3Zs8dYE Jul 24 22:52:05 I try as hard as I can to not use GUI on the BBB though, if SGX worked on Xorg that might change Jul 24 22:53:06 do you usually run off the sd card? Jul 24 22:56:31 yep Jul 24 22:56:37 and make sure you get a fast sd card for that Jul 24 22:56:43 cheapest cards are very slow Jul 24 22:56:59 dinner time :) Jul 24 22:57:11 i think mine is good Jul 24 22:57:15 ve vill zee! Jul 24 23:06:05 so i used the latest debian sd image available on beagleboard.org, but how do i get into it once booted? Jul 24 23:08:25 you mean username and password? Jul 24 23:08:52 the one http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Jul 24 23:08:59 no, i can't ssh into it Jul 24 23:09:02 i don't know its ip Jul 24 23:09:11 it's not responding to pings Jul 24 23:09:53 are you connected over the otg usb? Jul 24 23:10:45 ethernet Jul 24 23:10:56 i can try that Jul 24 23:11:19 ah, do you have access to the router? Jul 24 23:11:43 router admin functions should give you an assigned ip table if so Jul 24 23:13:00 and you can try bealebone.local Jul 24 23:13:04 that didn't work Jul 24 23:13:41 then look into the router for assigned mac ip tuples Jul 24 23:16:33 i don't think it's getting dhcp Jul 24 23:17:18 Is it working at all, proper blinken lights? Jul 24 23:17:28 yeah, hearbeat is going, kernel led is very dim Jul 24 23:17:34 ethernet lights are on Jul 24 23:17:56 Like here. Thisconnect eth, wait a few seconds, reconnect. Jul 24 23:18:20 I think it took a while until dhcp was requested/established. Jul 24 23:20:56 huh, now beaglebone local is here Jul 24 23:20:59 wait no Jul 24 23:21:12 oh dear, connection refused Jul 24 23:21:18 it's definitely the beaglebone Jul 24 23:21:21 Ah, the undeterministic BBB Jul 24 23:21:33 any other ways to break in? Jul 24 23:21:40 or an image that has ssh? Jul 24 23:22:11 You can try surfing to beglebone.local Jul 24 23:22:25 what user are you logging in as? Jul 24 23:22:30 root Jul 24 23:22:38 but it's an 'no ssh server is there' refused Jul 24 23:22:39 try debian instead Jul 24 23:22:44 i am trying debian Jul 24 23:22:49 oh Jul 24 23:22:55 nope Jul 24 23:23:03 as the user Jul 24 23:23:06 yeah, no dice Jul 24 23:23:10 what is your ssh command? Jul 24 23:23:11 the firewall is blocking it Jul 24 23:23:15 ssh debian@ Jul 24 23:23:35 ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection refused Jul 24 23:23:46 you're using 192.168.7.2? Jul 24 23:23:55 no? Jul 24 23:24:06 but it's the beaglebone, it goes away when i unplug it Jul 24 23:24:10 ok, just checking.. that's only for the otg connection Jul 24 23:24:18 but some people try it anyway Jul 24 23:24:36 i suspect there's an issue with the image. any others i could try? Jul 24 23:25:10 which one are you currently trying? Jul 24 23:25:21 the one http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Jul 24 23:25:30 the non emmc flasher Jul 24 23:26:01 I've only tried the flasher version from that page Jul 24 23:26:11 did it give you an ssh? Jul 24 23:26:34 I used ftdi connection Jul 24 23:26:40 i don't have one of those Jul 24 23:27:04 yeah... kind of handy, but kinda pricey for a little plug Jul 24 23:27:18 i have about 3600 of them with other varieties of ends but none with that Jul 24 23:27:31 db-9, 4 pin, surface contact, rj11... Jul 24 23:27:45 seriously who uses flow control Jul 24 23:28:04 I believe it only uses 4 of those pins Jul 24 23:28:18 http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial Jul 24 23:28:19 I could be wrong there tough Jul 24 23:28:20 but they are in the wrong place Jul 24 23:28:34 the raspberry pi plugged directly into the 4 pin thing i have which was great Jul 24 23:28:37 completely by coincidence Jul 24 23:28:43 do yo uhave the micro sd cable that comes with it? Jul 24 23:28:54 err. mini Jul 24 23:29:00 usb? Jul 24 23:29:00 yes Jul 24 23:29:05 sd? no? Jul 24 23:29:31 yeah I meant mini usb.. but my fingers got ahead of my brain :/ Jul 24 23:29:48 plug that in and give 192.168.7.2 a go Jul 24 23:30:48 is everything going to melt if i already have a 5v power brick plugged in Jul 24 23:30:54 no Jul 24 23:31:13 you don't want to use the 5v line on the serial connection Jul 24 23:31:33 i'm talking about the barrel jack Jul 24 23:31:42 ah hah! Jul 24 23:31:45 i have found a clue Jul 24 23:31:49 "NOTE: In some cases you may not be able to directly access the board using SSH at this point. There seems to be a problem in some versions of the stock image that causes some boards to fail to bring up the SSH server properly." Jul 24 23:32:06 bleh Jul 24 23:32:17 lucky me Jul 24 23:32:53 get some output from a serial console or the hdmi... Jul 24 23:33:00 i don't have a way to do either Jul 24 23:33:17 actually i may have a way to do serial Jul 24 23:33:22 what's the pinout and baud rate? Jul 24 23:33:55 115200 8n1 no flow control Jul 24 23:34:09 is it accessible on the P8/9 anywhere? Jul 24 23:37:41 fark i have nothing with female ends Jul 25 02:12:10 http://pastie.org/private/xqyayxodvbliikclxhhoa is there a working debian image i can write to an sd card? Jul 25 02:29:26 or can somebody build one? i don't have all the toolchain set up Jul 25 02:39:11 ah hah apparently it didn't flash properly Jul 25 02:39:13 seems to be happier now **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 25 03:00:00 2014
