**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 06 02:59:59 2014 Aug 06 05:39:56 Hi, I am new to the beagle board and seem to be having some troubles Aug 06 05:40:17 I can't seem to modify the USR0 LED's status using SSH commands Aug 06 05:40:53 it isn't even the default heartbeat, it just seems to blink at every half second intervals Aug 06 06:05:02 do the cloud9 examples work for that? Aug 06 06:11:07 so that link xro| posted i think i found an error, not 100% sure though Aug 06 06:12:38 Mode7 for Pin P8_7 it says its mmc1_sdcd and i thought that was pin 9_11 based on what im reading Aug 06 07:25:46 Hello I have connected laser module on to beaglebone black with gpio on slot 79. the circuit is correct coz when i give it 5volts where the gpio should the laser turns on, but when i give it the export command from putty . gpio does not turn on the lasers Aug 06 07:34:18 I hope the other eye is ok Aug 06 07:50:55 hehe Aug 06 07:51:07 "Do not point laser at remaining eye" Aug 06 11:14:03 Hello Aug 06 11:31:43 somone from element14 here ? Aug 06 11:32:36 I doubt that Aug 06 11:33:28 actually its a generic question .. new BBB have 4gb emmc in 8bit .. is this 8bit as such already working ? Aug 06 12:30:15 Hello, i have a bit of a problem with my beagle bone black. Aug 06 12:31:04 The lxde-rc.xml file seems to be empty under the /home/debian/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml Aug 06 12:55:39 Fredy_ and why do you believe its a bbb question and not a debian? Aug 06 12:55:47 debbbian Aug 06 12:57:04 gm av500 Aug 06 13:26:21 hello... i have a distro package with custom patches to device tree that was made for me. I need to make some changes to filesystem functions in kernel can i just compile the kernel and over write zImage on sdcard with distro on it without having to change dtb files allready there? Aug 06 13:29:49 hi guys i need some help. i have been trying to figure out why my wireless does not work when my beaglebone black is powered through the pins. If I connect my beaglebone through a usb cable to my computer wireless works. if I power the beaglebone black through the pins and use a powered hub it works. any reason why it would not work when powered htrough the pins and connected directly? Aug 06 14:13:16 mistawright: sounds like the pins just aren't supplying enough juice. Aug 06 14:28:01 it would be the same as powering it through the barrel jack right? Aug 06 14:59:25 when you say pins, are you talking about the battery connections (TP5-TP8) or pins 5 and 6 on the P9 expansion header? Aug 06 15:05:54 im powering through pins 5 and 6 Aug 06 15:07:12 should i be powering the beaglebone black through sys_5v instead? Aug 06 15:10:36 xiqy: spaeking of power. what is the difference between pin 5/6 and 7/8 on P9? Aug 06 15:11:01 im curious as well Aug 06 15:14:33 mistawright: i think there is some kind of decoupling capacitor or any other electronics on pin 7/8 Aug 06 15:20:57 mistawright: here's why it's not working: "The 5VDC supply from the USB port is provided on the SYS_5V". Aug 06 15:21:21 from the bbb reference manual, section 6.1.3 Aug 06 15:32:13 so should i be powering the beaglebone through the sys_5v pin? Aug 06 15:32:31 is that possible? or can i damage my beaglebone black that way? Aug 06 15:40:17 mistawright, do not power into the SYS_5V pin, power comes out of this pin from the PMIC Aug 06 15:40:46 external power can be supplied to the bb on P9 5&6 Aug 06 15:41:33 i have done so but due to this am not able to get my wireless usb adapter working Aug 06 15:41:58 it works when connected to usb and powered through barrel jack but not when i have it powered through pins Aug 06 15:42:17 mistawright, then you're likely doing something else wrong Aug 06 15:42:28 i can only assume the 5volt supply to the beaglebone is not giving it enough juice Aug 06 15:43:20 the beaglebone boots up and i only get the device descriptor errors when it is powered through the pins if i use a powered hub when powering it through the pins it works fine Aug 06 19:01:11 anyone make a good enclosure for the beagle?

Aug 06 19:06:10 Dvstek: if you have access to a lasercutter, take a look at this case which lets the io pins open http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:163152 Aug 06 19:09:22 for some reason I could not enter txt, Thank you for the information on the adafruit Aug 06 19:10:18 i was going to make a pfsense box with one if I can figure out how to add second nic to the box Aug 06 19:13:46 Does pfSense run on ARM? Aug 06 19:13:58 I thought it was x86-only. Aug 06 20:11:55 Thurgood, I got Ubuntu 14.10 running on the BBxM but if I load LXDE it crashes, any suggestions on a desktop? Aug 06 20:17:39 radconjon why you need a desktop? Aug 06 20:18:16 I want to stream video, thought I would need it for that. Aug 06 20:19:39 inbound? outbound? Aug 06 20:20:44 I have the LI 5 camera and want to stream video from one BBxM to another. Aug 06 20:20:58 lol Aug 06 20:24:02 CAn someone jog my memory about what I need to do to get the wireless to login? Aug 06 20:28:10 wireless login? Aug 06 20:28:15 whats that? Aug 06 20:28:26 anyone know what might be the difference between the kernel packages v3.15.6-armv7-lpae-x5 and v3.15.6-x5 i need just the standard v3.15.6, where do i get that? Aug 06 20:32:14 need to recompile kernel but it needs to match current one i have... Aug 06 20:32:59 fruittimo distro? Aug 06 20:33:30 Linux polyphon 3.15.6-mokrop1 #6 SMP Tue Jul 22 00:11:13 CEST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux Aug 06 20:33:48 thats the kernel version yes Aug 06 20:33:57 would armv7-lpae be same as my kernel Aug 06 20:34:06 how did you get it? Aug 06 20:34:13 mindtranfser? Aug 06 20:34:19 someone custom made it for me... lol Aug 06 20:34:29 so ask that someone Aug 06 20:34:51 but i cant get in touch with him to know which robert nelson distro he used exactly Aug 06 20:35:06 so how do we know it Aug 06 20:35:10 mindreading? Aug 06 20:35:23 guy did some custom dt stuff for me Aug 06 20:35:37 fine Aug 06 20:36:06 what does lpae mean any idea? Aug 06 20:36:18 lets ask google Aug 06 20:36:23 k Aug 06 20:36:48 woot 5 seconds and I know the answer Aug 06 20:37:00 that is faster than typing the question here Aug 06 20:41:45 The Large Physical Address extension provides the means for each of the software environments to utilize efficiently the available physical memory when handling large amounts of data. Aug 06 20:42:54 well the question is what does armv7l mean on my system... does it stand for lpae for short? Aug 06 20:45:42 another question for googlw Aug 06 20:48:30 not getting google to give me good answer on this one Aug 06 20:50:10 *sigh* this crappy dsl line Aug 06 20:55:00 theres 3 different 3.15.6 versions in roberts repository, and they all have huge patch file size differences Aug 06 21:32:10 Hello Aug 06 21:32:18 i would like to know Aug 06 21:32:29 something Aug 06 21:32:29 Right now I'm trying to write a paper for my university, it's about IoT, and i would like to know How many electronic units like BeagleBone Black have sold beagleboard.org Aug 06 21:32:47 Thanks for you help Aug 06 21:51:15 how to debug if a kernel module has memory leaks (in BBB linux)? Aug 06 21:52:26 hmm kernel modules Aug 06 21:52:38 is it possible to load a module without recompiling the kernel? Aug 06 21:57:36 Laurenceb__, you can load/unload a module with "insmod/rmmod" you dont need to recompile the kernel Aug 06 21:58:12 Laurenceb__, but if your kernel was compiled WITHOUT the modules support, then you can't load/unload modules whenever you want Aug 06 22:01:41 ah Aug 06 22:01:56 does the debian build for BBB support modules? Aug 06 22:05:26 Laurenceb__, run this: grep CONFIG_MODULES= /boot/config* Aug 06 22:05:40 i dont have a BBB setup :P Aug 06 22:06:00 actually Aug 06 22:06:09 can it wakeup from USB ? Aug 06 22:06:18 Laurenceb__, I'd say my guess is it has support. I had never seen any distribution without it. Aug 06 22:06:28 ok Aug 06 22:06:37 Laurenceb__, I dont know BBB too much to answer about the USB :-( Aug 06 22:06:43 ok Aug 06 22:06:50 i was hoping to fix the RTC Aug 06 22:06:56 as atm it doesnt work Aug 06 22:07:06 with a fixed PMIC driver it should Aug 06 22:15:38 EdwinIOT: read the wiki Aug 06 22:17:41 Does anyone elses BBB shut off/DC with minimal movement when connect via USB? Aug 06 22:23:24 reckoner133, check your cable and housing for any bent pins, or if it just fits loosely, first\ Aug 07 00:22:02 is there a way to detect usb host insert and attach on beagleboneblack Aug 07 00:22:23 detach* Aug 07 00:22:24 bmatusiak: on newer kernels. Aug 07 00:22:39 when you mean newer.. Aug 07 00:22:52 what version am i looking at and above Aug 07 00:23:06 bmatusiak: doing 'lsusb' a few times usually makes the kernel realize something has changed, but it doesn't detect the switch automatically on the 3.8.13-boneX kernels. Aug 07 00:23:22 3.14 and newer should work, but I haven't personally verified at this point. Aug 07 00:23:32 jkridner: ahh ok Aug 07 00:23:47 thanks i'm gonna check real quick Aug 07 00:29:08 well darn im still on 3.8.13 Aug 07 00:43:11 I am trying to install cylon.js on my beaglebone black and it is crashing the board. Does anyone know why this might be? I don't get any error or anything it just quits. Aug 07 00:44:17 dammit, now I'm going to waste the rest of the night watching battlestar galactica Aug 07 00:44:50 Sorry, great show though. i don't feel too bad. Aug 07 00:45:07 i'm due for another watching Aug 07 00:45:16 so what do you mean by crashing the board? Aug 07 00:45:52 I assume that is what is happening. The SSH connection drops and I can't reconnect until I power off the board and power it back on again. Aug 07 00:45:57 I assume you're doing 'npm install cylon-beaglebon'? Aug 07 00:46:14 yes Aug 07 00:46:47 so you've followed this: http://cylonjs.com/documentation/platforms/beaglebone/ Aug 07 00:47:56 yes Aug 07 00:48:02 i haven't gotten past that first step. Aug 07 00:48:37 run it in a screen session, pipe the output through tee into a log file....and see if it does anything after you loos ssh Aug 07 00:50:57 bobonthenet_: does npm work? can you do npm help? Aug 07 00:51:31 yes npm help works Aug 07 00:52:38 ok, try logging as xenoxaos instructed Aug 07 00:53:48 I am doing that now, I'll come back. Aug 07 00:58:12 of course it runs without a hitch that time. Aug 07 00:58:21 heh Aug 07 00:58:26 you're welcome ;) Aug 07 00:59:05 i have a feeling that the interactive terminal was killing it/failing....but with screen....your ssh didnt die Aug 07 01:00:28 cool, I'll make a habit of getting the log each time. That'd be helpful just in case something goes wrong in the future. Aug 07 01:01:08 or running in screen Aug 07 01:02:23 always use screen, or tmux by default. It's a good habit to have. Aug 07 01:05:49 thanks again. Aug 07 01:27:36 Guys, I know that even beagle says that the HD video isn't the smoothest, but I assume that's at 1080p, right? Do you think it would be able to handle 720p smoothly? Aug 07 01:29:27 if you have one I'd say test it and see Aug 07 01:31:12 I'm debating on an rpi or bbb.. I'd get more use out of the bbb, but it's primary purpose would be to play netflix for my son, instead of having the xbox running Aug 07 01:31:49 Is there a Netflix client for Linux on ARM? Aug 07 01:32:07 if video playback is your primary concern, the r:pi has better hardware in that category Aug 07 01:32:31 armlego.. it is on android, not sure about the availability of android on the pi though Aug 07 01:32:53 oops agmlego not armlego, sorry Aug 07 01:33:06 the pi has a port..there was a commercial 'smart tv' product based on the pi, and it was android Aug 07 01:34:05 I almost bought it..it wasn't a bad price.. $99 with a remote and a nice case Aug 07 01:34:14 I was rather disappointed by android on the bbb, the browser alone crashed frequently because of low memory Aug 07 01:35:07 That's unfortunate =\ Aug 07 01:35:16 Decessus: BeagleBone Black display is limited to 24fps at 1080p Aug 07 01:35:23 that was at 1080 though, dunno if it performs any more stably at 720 Aug 07 01:36:01 agmlego: Google tells me http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/762705-how-to-easily-enable-silverlight-and-watch-netflix-on-linux Aug 07 01:36:21 jkridner, yeah, I doubt that would work as it still uses wine Aug 07 01:36:45 my brother watches netflix on ilnux.. not sure how it works on arm hardware though ymmv Aug 07 01:36:46 It works well on desktop..but I fear the suitability of emulation on rpi/bbb ;p Aug 07 01:37:22 jkridner: Note that I specifically asked about Linux *on ARM*; I am aware of the Silverlight/wine pairing on x86*. ;-P Aug 07 01:37:43 is pipelight wine-based? Aug 07 01:37:44 Decessus: wine is not an emulator. Aug 07 01:38:07 agmlego, yes I know I have sinned.. Aug 07 01:38:43 ah, seems it is. :( http://pipelight.net/cms/install/compile-pipelight.html **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Aug 07 02:59:58 2014
