Aug 19 05:33:56 <Morningstar> hi every one
Aug 19 05:35:00 <Morningstar> is it possible to use both CAN0 and CAN1 at the same time with the beagle bone black
Aug 19 06:04:26 <tbr> Morningstar: the TRM should know. note that you still need to add a PHY, AFAIU.
Aug 19 06:16:53 <tbr> meh again a spammer. is it time to abandon this channel?
Aug 19 06:17:33 <tawr> 300 users, abandon ship, we have a single spammer.
Aug 19 06:19:26 <LetoThe2nd> tawr: isn't that how the internet works? single annoyance, nuke everything from orbit, rebuild?
Aug 19 06:21:26 <tawr> You have to flip your keyboard over angrily first, then mash the "OMGWTFBBQNUKE" button with your forehead, but yes, yes it is
Aug 19 06:32:36 <tbr> JFTR, I had the previous spammer disposed off by network OPERs
Aug 19 06:32:56 <LetoThe2nd> yeah i know
Aug 19 06:33:38 <Morningstar> what is a TRM?
Aug 19 06:35:16 <tbr> a technical reference manual
Aug 19 06:37:08 <Morningstar> ahh
Aug 19 07:45:04 <rorriMnmaD> has anyone had an issue of apt-get processes spawning on boot until processor is crashed?
Aug 19 07:53:26 <woglinde> rorriMnmaD disabale unantened install
Aug 19 07:59:21 <rorriMnmaD> thx, ill try that
Aug 19 07:59:49 <rorriMnmaD> i also found a not on a github page that mentions it may be caused by byobu, since the system clock is reset on boot
Aug 19 08:00:27 <woglinde> if you have no rtc
Aug 19 08:00:36 <woglinde> the time is reseted of course
Aug 19 08:01:15 <rorriMnmaD> yeah... didnt think that would be a big deal
Aug 19 08:01:51 <rorriMnmaD> but it seems to make byobu freak out
Aug 19 08:03:05 <LetoThe2nd> i've always found screen-profiles and its successor byobu to only be sources of annoyance
Aug 19 08:03:19 <LetoThe2nd> don't use them, rather go for plain screen. :)
Aug 19 08:04:18 <rorriMnmaD> it's nice for being able to add titles to your windows, though
Aug 19 08:05:14 <LetoThe2nd> you mean, for also displaying them all the time
Aug 19 08:05:29 <LetoThe2nd> screen has titles for windows since about ever.
Aug 19 08:06:11 <rorriMnmaD> ha, i didn't know that
Aug 19 08:06:13 <woglinde> rorriMnmaD install fake-hwclock or ntp
Aug 19 08:06:31 <rorriMnmaD> i installed ntp
Aug 19 08:06:49 <rorriMnmaD> but it's not that useful without internet, i think... im usually USB-tether
Aug 19 08:10:18 <woglinde> hm okay
Aug 19 08:10:30 <woglinde> than fake-hwclock helps a bit
Aug 19 08:10:39 <rorriMnmaD> yeah, im reading about it now
Aug 19 08:24:59 <Ecco> Hi :-)
Aug 19 08:25:21 <Ecco> I keep seeing mentions of "musb" and "musb controller". What is it?
Aug 19 08:26:29 <varad> could someone please dump their uEnv.txt for BBB? I'm trying to bring up 3.16  and it gets stuck at `Starting kernel ...`.
Aug 19 08:27:11 <Ecco> varad: how are you interfacing with uboot? HDMI?
Aug 19 08:29:05 <Ecco> varad: PMed you the content of the stock uEnv.txt
Aug 19 08:42:29 <LetoThe2nd> Ecco: musb is the hardware incarnation of the usb controller on the bBBB
Aug 19 08:42:39 <Ecco> oh, so it's the name of the USB controller?
Aug 19 08:43:07 <Ecco> as like uhci ?
Aug 19 08:43:40 <LetoThe2nd> AFAIK yes
Aug 19 08:43:56 <woglinde> and the root of all evil
Aug 19 08:44:01 <Ecco> :-D
Aug 19 08:45:11 <LetoThe2nd> woglinde: if you feel like growling that, i can crank up some metal to accompy you.
Aug 19 08:50:32 * tasslehoff will headbang in agreement
Aug 19 15:16:05 <manuel__> Hi, I would like ot bump up the vyres of my fb0 on a beaglebone black to 816 from 272, but I can’t seem to get it working. Is there a way to specify the framebuffer vram somewhere?
Aug 19 15:16:24 <manuel__> I am trying this: fbset -vyres 816 (I need the 3X to have vsync doublebuffer opengl output)
Aug 19 15:16:52 <manuel__> i’m trying to follow this here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_Additional_Procedures
Aug 19 15:32:28 <Ecco> Hmm
Aug 19 15:32:33 <Ecco> Not sure you're reading the proper doc
Aug 19 15:32:44 <Ecco> BBB uses AM355x, not an OMAP processor
Aug 19 15:32:53 <Ecco> (OMAP35x is the original Beagleboard IIRC)
Aug 19 15:35:18 <manuel__> yeah but it’s using the same GLES library
Aug 19 15:35:47 <manuel__> when I load FLIPWSEGL, I get an error creating the surface, which I think is because it’s trying to allocate 3x the virtual framebuffer memory, while my current framebuffers ettings have exactly the same resolution as the physical resolution
Aug 19 15:36:13 <manuel__> i’m fumbling around trying to find how the vram= omapfb.vram= parameters that were used in earlier versions to set framebuffer memory are used now
Aug 19 15:43:04 <thurgood> manuel__: for flip you must have at least enough memory allocated for double buffering the primary frambuffer
Aug 19 15:44:35 <thurgood> I think the omapfb.vram params are the same... in uEnv.txt
Aug 19 15:46:49 <manuel__> I did but I can’t get past the physical resolution of 480x272x16bpp =~ 260 kB
Aug 19 15:47:05 <manuel__> I seti have this as bootargs: vram=12M omapfb.vram=0:4M,1:4M,2:4M
Aug 19 15:48:01 <thurgood> eep, are you using all the framebuffers, or trying to do triple buffering?
Aug 19 15:49:13 <thurgood> you need  8MB in fb0 to do 1280x720
Aug 19 15:49:49 <thurgood> I use 4in fb1, but only becuase I play video in fb1
Aug 19 15:50:01 <thurgood> err 4MB
Aug 19 15:50:24 <thurgood> in fb1
Aug 19 15:51:18 <manuel__> well independent of that i should be able to alloc vxres/vyres more than 260 kB on fb0
Aug 19 15:51:22 <manuel__> (I only have fb0)
Aug 19 15:51:27 <manuel__> i’m running 3.8 from meta-beagleboard btw
Aug 19 15:51:34 <manuel__> and have a LCD4 CAPE
Aug 19 15:51:59 <manuel__> so i’m not entirely sure how the CAPE and it’s device tree overlay loading tilcdc fb influence the whole thing
Aug 19 15:52:30 <thurgood> ah, does the cape make use of dss2?
Aug 19 15:52:45 <manuel__> i think so, what is dss2?
Aug 19 15:52:56 <manuel__> i saw that scrolling by somewhere or so
Aug 19 15:52:58 <thurgood> display subsystem 2
Aug 19 15:53:15 <manuel__> how can i check that?
Aug 19 15:55:23 <thurgood> see if increase 0:4M to 0:8M and leaving off 1 and 2 does anything
Aug 19 15:58:27 <thurgood> if that fixes anything it is using dss2 :)
Aug 19 16:00:37 <cr_> I have a BBB that I had a 4-20ma sensor converted with a 90 Ohm resistor to 0.36-1.8V.  This has been working fine for a 2 months but just quit working: an analog read shows 0 always now.  I have verified that the problem is in the board as the AIN0 to AGnd shows an open circuit.  My thought is that there must have been a voltage spike that damaged the AIN0 pin.  What kind of circuit can be used to convert 4-20ma while at the same time pro
Aug 19 16:02:59 <LetoThe2nd> cr_: zener diodes in the simplest case, but for real world applications one would probably add a opamp-based conditioning circuit.
Aug 19 16:04:13 <cr_> LetoThe2nd:  Does the op-amp circuit you are speaking of isolate the BBB from the sensor?
Aug 19 16:04:30 <LetoThe2nd> cr_: depending on the amount of protection you need, you can do that.
Aug 19 16:05:17 <cr_> LetoThe2nd: Okay thanks for the info.  I will make an op-amp circuit and test that out.
Aug 19 16:05:25 <LetoThe2nd> adding a 100$ protective circuit to a 45$ dollar board is kind of pointless, except handling outnumbers that again.
Aug 19 16:05:33 <LetoThe2nd> *if
Aug 19 16:05:39 <LetoThe2nd> so again, it all depends.
Aug 19 16:06:00 <LetoThe2nd> better think about your requirements forst, instead of blindly making up circuits ;)
Aug 19 16:06:19 <Ecco> Meanwhile, in Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O5WWVIXVT4
Aug 19 16:13:02 <cr_> LetoThe2nd:  No doubt the the most cost efficient and effective protective circuit is what I need.  I need to avoid having to replace a $45 board every couple of months.  Let me provide a bit more information about what I am doing to see if you may have some more specific suggestions.  The sensor I am using reads the level of a tank. The sensor is a 24VDC 4-20ma loop powered sensor.  My ultimate goal is to condition that signal for the BBB
Aug 19 16:14:59 <manuel__> thurgood: will do. is there somewhere i can read up on dss2?
Aug 19 16:15:10 <manuel__> http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Display_Subsystem ?
Aug 19 16:15:20 <LetoThe2nd> cr_: i think googling for "4-20ma condition circuit" or "4-20ma protection circuit" should give you some ideas. sorry, but i can't give more detailed hints cause this is really a bit industrial knowledge that sets professional gear apart from tinkering, and $BOSS certainly wouldn't allow telling.
Aug 19 16:15:33 <manuel__> thurgood: no dice on the 8M thing
Aug 19 16:15:38 <thurgood> :/
Aug 19 16:15:47 <manuel__> console=ttyO0,115200n8 consoleblank=0 vt.global_cursor_default=0 vram=64M omapfb.vram=0:8M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
Aug 19 16:16:00 <manuel__> i’m not going to spend too much time on this as the bbb is just a prelim platform until we get our end SOM
Aug 19 16:16:05 <manuel__> but i was curious
Aug 19 16:16:11 <manuel__> i can live with the tearing until then
Aug 19 16:18:06 <cr_> LetoThe2nd: Okay thanks!
Aug 19 16:18:40 <thurgood> I wouldn't go higher than 16M on the vram, as that ties up memory that will never be used for video in reality
Aug 19 16:56:55 <manuel___> thurgood: yeah, it doesn’t seem to tie it down anyway
Aug 19 17:21:28 <tom1331> hi
Aug 19 17:21:48 <tom1331> I´ve got some questions about the beaglebone black board
Aug 19 17:22:33 <tom1331> I´m running it on windows and opened after connecting via USB the Start.htm and installed the driver for my 32 bit Win7 sucessfully
Aug 19 17:22:58 <tom1331> So the website shows that the first two steps are ok (green highlithed)
Aug 19 17:23:17 <tom1331> but I can´t connect by doing the 3th step
Aug 19 17:24:12 <tom1331> browse to web server on board is not working, when I type  in 192.168.7.2 I can reach the site but aren´t connected to board
Aug 19 17:24:21 <tom1331> Can you help me?
Aug 19 17:58:03 <mistawright> sounds like a windows firewall thing
Aug 19 18:03:05 <mistawright> hey guys anybody know how to disable eth0 on the beaglebone black running debian. been trying to figure out why wifi isnt autoconnecting and read that somewhere
Aug 19 18:03:18 <mistawright> that disabling eth0 would alleviate this
Aug 19 19:18:23 <Nico44> Hi, I've downloaded and copied on a microSD the bone-debian-7.6 image found here (http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#BeagleBone.2FBeagleBone_Black)
Aug 19 19:18:59 <Nico44> when I boot on microSD (using boot button), LED starts blinking and after a few seconds all LED that making a light-chaser
Aug 19 19:19:05 <Nico44> what that means ?
Aug 19 19:19:33 <Nico44> note that when I remove the SD card and restart BBB, the board doesn't boot anymore (2 LED on)
Aug 19 19:39:57 <smurray> Nico44: did you happen to download the eMMC flasher image?
Aug 19 19:40:48 <Nico44> I've downloaded that file : https://rcn-ee.net/deb/microsd/wheezy/bone-debian-7.6-console-armhf-2014-08-13-2gb.img.xz
Aug 19 19:41:06 <Nico44> then md5sum, unxz and dd to SDCard.
Aug 19 22:51:38 <nightswan> got a simple question
Aug 19 22:51:59 <nightswan> just started using beaglebone black
Aug 19 22:52:31 <nightswan> where in the sd card is the cloud 9 directory stored. I would like to access my files via putty
Aug 19 22:52:41 <vagrantc> i think it's in /opt ?
Aug 19 22:52:53 <nightswan> let me see
Aug 19 22:54:02 <nightswan> don't see it there
Aug 19 22:54:21 <nightswan> i see "source" and i see "scripts"
Aug 19 22:54:41 <nightswan> been doing some python programming using cloud9 ide onboard
Aug 19 22:54:55 <nightswan> have no idea where these files are stored on the bbb or sd card
Aug 19 22:54:58 <vagrantc> it's in one of those subdirectories ... not sure how deeply buried
Aug 19 22:56:01 <nightswan> ok well thanks for your input
Aug 19 23:48:41 <yogi> I have powered off my black beagle (Running Fedora, kernel 3.16.0-1.fc22.armv7hl) and now on power-on, I just can't get the network going
Aug 19 23:48:51 <yogi> the LEDs blink on both the board and on the switch
Aug 19 23:49:23 <yogi> net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:00 not found on slave 0
Aug 19 23:49:28 <yogi> net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1
