**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 03 02:59:59 2014 Sep 03 07:05:18 does the beaglebone have a limit to only one serial connection at a time? Sep 03 07:06:57 do not think so Sep 03 07:07:29 i've got my computer connected to the BBB via the built in USB/serial (OSX).... i think i have properly enabled both UART1 and UART2, and now I'm trying to use a PL2303 USB adaptor to test the UART1 connection, but "screen /dev/cu.PL2303* 115200" never connects Sep 03 07:07:45 (that's the correct device address for sure) Sep 03 07:08:03 did you set the uart rate to 115200? Sep 03 07:08:06 i dont want a login shell... i just want to send data back-and-forth Sep 03 07:08:12 do you have something on the beaglebone outputting on the port? Sep 03 07:08:20 no Sep 03 07:08:21 or reading from it rather? Sep 03 07:08:27 also no Sep 03 07:08:38 then it wont show you anything when you connect a terminal to it Sep 03 07:08:40 not sure to start from the BBB or start from my laptop Sep 03 07:08:55 how can I open up just a 'feed'? minicom? Sep 03 07:09:04 sure or use screen Sep 03 07:09:10 screen /dev/ttyS1 9600 Sep 03 07:09:11 or whatever Sep 03 07:09:28 then what you type on one should show up o the other Sep 03 07:09:32 so the BBB connects to /dev/ttyO1 and my mac also does it's own connect? Sep 03 07:09:45 yep Sep 03 07:09:49 thank you Sep 03 07:09:52 what you type in one should show up on the other Sep 03 07:10:03 also, what's the difference between between /dev/ttyO and ttyS? Sep 03 07:10:25 rorriMnmaD: you hopefully did NOT connect the PL2303 directly to those pins Sep 03 07:11:07 ttyO are the serial devices in beaglebone land Sep 03 07:11:08 sorta... the voltage is corrected to 3.3V, though--- is that what you mean? Sep 03 07:11:36 yeah, gotta be careful with that Sep 03 07:11:38 * nyt- & sleep Sep 03 07:12:51 rorriMnmaD: make sure the reference voltage on the PL2303 is 3V, else you will destroy the pins Sep 03 07:13:04 rorriMnmaD: did you try a loopback test on both sides? Sep 03 07:13:45 i used a multimeter to check Sep 03 07:13:56 probably didnt do a loopback test, since i dont know what that means Sep 03 07:14:40 you connect TX to RX and send chars and look if they come back Sep 03 07:15:01 not succesfully Sep 03 07:15:15 for some reason on the OSX screen it wont let me type, it's just a blank terminal Sep 03 07:15:49 both sides' actually Sep 03 07:15:50 I mean you short TX/RX on one port Sep 03 07:16:00 you don't need a second device for that Sep 03 07:16:18 and what does that tell you? Sep 03 07:17:03 dont they both idle high anyway? Sep 03 07:17:14 (my OSX side ones do, at least) Sep 03 07:18:17 actually, OSX TX is idling low now Sep 03 07:18:19 I'd suggest you read up about serial port loop back testing Sep 03 07:18:30 alright, ill google around Sep 03 07:18:35 thx for the help getting started Sep 03 07:28:41 sudo isn't needed, is it? Sep 03 07:31:37 ok, i confirmed that I incorrectly enabled the uarts, and it wasn't a connection issue Sep 03 07:40:43 it's an issue with my osx PL2303 drivers... the BBB was working all along :/ Sep 03 08:03:43 for anyone else who has the same issues, I deleted the drivers and reinstalled from a different source and it worked Sep 03 08:05:45 I prefer the FDTI based chips I also have had problem with the PL2303 based serial port on linux Sep 03 08:08:42 +1 Sep 03 08:09:38 i can't beleive i wasted so much time trying to fix my BBB when I should have just first tested the USB adapter Sep 03 08:10:47 simple TX-RX loopback Sep 03 08:12:37 will it mess anything up if i connect a 3rd serial port's RX in order to 'listen in'? Sep 03 08:14:06 well, seems not to, anyway Sep 03 08:17:00 rorriMnmaD: no, should be fine Sep 03 08:27:13 hiho av500 Sep 03 08:28:55 hohi woglinde Sep 03 10:08:36 any reason why the BBB would just turn itself off when plugging in pns? Sep 03 10:09:09 pns? Sep 03 10:09:15 pins, sorry Sep 03 10:09:21 a short? Sep 03 10:09:39 maybe Sep 03 10:09:45 cant see you desk from here Sep 03 10:09:49 your* Sep 03 10:10:14 fair enough Sep 03 13:13:37 does anyone know how to use adafruit-beaglebone-io-python with python3? Sep 03 13:20:57 which C library do you recommend for BBB for using GPIO? Sep 03 13:21:57 stdlib Sep 03 13:22:07 open/close/read/write Sep 03 13:29:46 aryklein: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13124271/driving-beaglebone-gpio-through-dev-mem Sep 03 13:32:01 for simpler access, av500 is right. sth like this should work : echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio18/value Sep 03 13:32:18 he said C, not shell :) Sep 03 13:33:07 well.. that shell line explains what he should do with open/write/close :) Sep 03 13:33:50 (hopefully) Sep 03 13:51:35 yeap, I know that. But I wanna read and interrupt from a GPIO. I'm working on a weigand reader Sep 03 13:52:14 so I need a blocking method that read for falling edge Sep 03 13:52:51 I think that pool for a gpio change is not efficient Sep 03 13:53:58 cityoflights2: ^^^ here is a customer for you Sep 03 14:15:16 ha? Sep 03 14:15:57 hi aryklein, I got the code you need Sep 03 14:16:03 let me pastebin it Sep 03 14:19:05 http://pastebin.com/G5r6arEe Sep 03 14:21:02 cityoflights2: thanks! let me see the code Sep 03 14:49:17 hi ! does ARMv7l Cortex-A8(bbb) is not enough to play multisync voice in mbrola syntheziser (festival engine) ? Everyhing seems fine, no error or warning, the same config works on desktop on archarm not ;/ Sep 03 14:49:58 rj46: well inspect the system state and find out Sep 03 14:50:15 define "works" Sep 03 14:50:16 if your cpu hits 110%, it probably is just too slow Sep 03 14:50:37 av500: works: "it cuts logs for making fire at home all day." Sep 03 14:50:55 you can work for me! Sep 03 14:51:21 av500: on desktop syntheziser works very well Sep 03 14:51:32 I tried to run that on BBB Sep 03 14:51:46 and everythings work except multisync voices Sep 03 14:52:38 again, define "work" Sep 03 14:52:51 again, go and find out. Sep 03 14:54:51 av500: define work ? works like normal synthesizer Sep 03 14:58:09 sigh Sep 03 14:58:16 I have no idea what is normalö Sep 03 14:58:18 av500: le sigh? Sep 03 14:58:20 normal Sep 03 14:58:24 its too slow Sep 03 14:58:26 garbled Sep 03 14:58:28 no sound at all Sep 03 14:58:31 your kitten dies Sep 03 14:58:34 the world ends Sep 03 14:58:37 which one is it? Sep 03 14:58:40 will only play jingle bells? Sep 03 14:58:45 cowbells Sep 03 14:58:52 cöwbells! Sep 03 14:59:45 av500: I don't get your point, I probabbly confused you Sep 03 15:00:22 on bbb festival mbrol multisync doesnt work, just no sound when I want to (SayText) Sep 03 15:00:44 on desktop x64, that WORKS fine. Sep 03 15:00:57 so its "no sound" Sep 03 15:01:49 yes thats it Sep 03 15:01:59 at last Sep 03 15:02:13 I guess you will need to debug it Sep 03 15:02:41 the problem is I dont know where to start Sep 03 15:02:47 on both machines there is Sep 03 15:02:55 " Voice loaded successfully! " Sep 03 15:03:12 and all should be fine, but on bbb there is no sound at all with multisync Sep 03 15:04:27 no diea Sep 03 15:04:28 idea Sep 03 15:04:45 I will probably use no multisync voice Sep 03 15:04:47 do you even get any sound out of the BBB? Sep 03 15:04:52 yes I do! Sep 03 15:05:00 other voices work Sep 03 15:05:07 just this one which is multisync Sep 03 15:05:23 check this out Sep 03 15:05:24 http://syntezamowy.pjwstk.edu.pl/korpus.html Sep 03 15:05:38 it has nice quality Sep 03 15:06:15 I guess bbb doesnt handle it Sep 03 15:06:42 its so sad, that voice is extra close to real human voice :D Sep 03 15:07:41 don't guess, find out or leave it. Sep 03 15:08:43 but i guess nobody here will handhold you through debugging internals of some synth program- Sep 03 15:09:43 cpu usage raises to 97% with that voice;/ Sep 03 15:10:05 ah Sep 03 15:10:25 didn't i say to check that first already 20minutes ago? Sep 03 15:10:49 all that precious time and effort totally wasted. no spice for you this year. Sep 03 15:10:55 always check the kittens first! Sep 03 15:11:03 but it didnt hit 110% Sep 03 15:11:47 mine goes to 111% Sep 03 15:11:47 then you're not looking closely enough. you have to stare at the numbers long enough! Sep 03 15:12:25 aryklein: are you satisfied with what I gave you? Sep 03 15:12:58 LetoThe2nd: ok I will, funny guy btw ;D Sep 03 15:13:07 anyway thanks for help guys! Sep 03 15:58:17 hi guys i have been trying to boot archlinux on my beaglebone black and can not get it to boot. I know that i am also running the latest debian image on the emmc. Sep 03 15:58:18 http://pastebin.com/msMatCce Sep 03 15:58:50 that is what i see when booting. the sd card is setup with a fat16 64mb boot partition that contains an mlo and uimage file i believe Sep 03 18:24:30 I’m having a weird situation Sep 03 18:25:01 Every time I reboot my beaglebone black, it’s ip address changes, alternating between 2 Sep 03 18:25:32 but if I run the same image on a beaglebone white, the ip will stay the same across reboots Sep 03 18:33:37 hey folks, is it possible to access multiple UARTS concurrently ? Sep 03 18:34:46 for example reading from gps, writing to cellular modem asynchronously Sep 03 18:35:18 (beaglebone black rev. c) Sep 03 18:35:32 you mean multiple devices on a single uart? Sep 03 18:36:00 cell modem is on UART5, GPS on UART1 Sep 03 18:36:23 you are asking because you have a problem? Sep 03 18:36:36 but it seems the underlying bus is shared? yes i get corrupt data when both are accessed concurrently Sep 03 18:37:15 Hello.. I am ( a newbie) using beaglebone black with Angstorm 3.8 . . Is it possible to run multiple SSH sessions over Putty( or by any other means) while communicating with the board over USB . .? Sep 03 18:38:37 kingcosmomann: fun Sep 03 18:40:01 Humpelstilzchen: yeah, i'm sure someone will answer, "well obviously you need to learn about uart multiplexing, dummy… :)" Sep 03 18:40:12 I am trying to test the UARTs.. by shorting the TX and RX of UART1 and UART2 . .so I need 2 sessions of minicom in 2 separate windows ..so that I can see that what I am transmitting from UART1 is coming in UART2 . . Sep 03 18:40:51 abmath, you should be able to ssh as much as you like, that's just tcp Sep 03 18:44:47 ok.. but when I try to open one more session with Putty.. it gives error that " Unable to open COM10" . .Oh.. I got it . .probably because.. I am using "Serial" instead of "TCP" in connection type.. Sep 03 18:45:12 yeah, ssh is a tcp, not serial connection ;) Sep 03 18:46:22 adafruit had a decent tutorial on that scenario i think: https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-io-python-library-on-beaglebone-black/uart Sep 03 18:47:08 thank you . .kingcosmomann . . Sep 03 19:05:17 Hi all. Is there any minimalist linux (preferably Debian-based) that fast-boots on BeagleBone Black? I've come across a couple Android efforts, but I don't want Android, per se. I'm tempted to try to roll my own Linux from the ground-up, but it seems like a lot of work. Sep 03 19:06:01 <_av500_> there is Debian Sep 03 19:06:27 how fast do you want it to boot? Sep 03 19:07:10 sub 1-second Sep 03 19:07:24 heh, good luck with that Sep 03 19:07:58 <_av500_> elinux.org/images/b/b3/Elce11_koen.pdf Sep 03 19:08:10 Hehe. I've seen a Raspberry Pi somewhere do that. This is a bit slower, but acceptable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fjfqz6FxC8 Sep 03 19:08:14 <_av500_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcfjs02Srs Sep 03 19:08:24 you'll have to remove u-boot's 3 second wait for beginners Sep 03 19:08:40 <_av500_> well, that is easy Sep 03 19:09:04 yeah... but that's the only easy part :P Sep 03 19:09:20 lol, that's application start, not boot up Sep 03 19:09:46 I also want to remove uncessary packages (e.g. all the desktop stuff). I'm not all that familiar with Linux, so it sometimes seems easier to start from scratch than to remove things without accidentally removing something necessary Sep 03 19:10:19 there are console only debian versions for bbb out there Sep 03 19:10:23 <_av500_> LetoThe2nd: didnt you talk about a minimal debian? Sep 03 19:10:39 Ah, "console only" that's a good search term Sep 03 19:12:06 I do eventually have to get SDL running (I want to draw to an attached LCD). There's a whole separate problem with framebuffer support, but for my purposes, the software renderer worked fine. I don't know if it needs dbus, or things like that Sep 03 19:15:32 Is Angstrom a better place to start than Debian? Sep 03 19:16:25 _av500_: who is koen? Sep 03 19:17:15 nvm, found him Sep 03 19:27:18 JetForMe: depends on what you want which distro suits you best. it's an area wide open to lots of opinions... Sep 03 19:41:29 I have a BBB. I had it working beautifully on 3.8.13 kernel. It has an audio cape and an LCD4. I wasn't able to get my tl-wn725n working so I tried upgrading to one of the https://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.15.9-bone6/ series... Now everthing is busted but the wifi works. Any ideas? Sep 03 19:41:44 when I said busted I mean LCD and audio capes do not work. Sep 03 19:49:38 did you load the cape overlays? Sep 03 19:50:19 if I recall the overlay manager is not working in some of rcn-ee's more recent releases Sep 03 19:56:33 you may need to make a cutom .dtb rather than using an overlay... Sep 03 19:56:48 or use a universal .dtb Sep 03 19:57:00 I think there is no cape manager anymore./ Sep 03 19:58:11 any pointers on how to make it work? I don't mind following instructions but I've googled the heck out of it without any luck Sep 03 20:00:23 hello Sep 03 20:00:32 hi rolado07. Sep 03 20:00:44 you've now successfully sent a message to IRC. Sep 03 20:01:05 vagrantc Yeah, I know. I'm a little surprised there aren't more minimalist distros for this kind of embedded, though. Seems like everyone wants to show it being a "real" computer, and not actually using it for non-trivial embedded applications. Sep 03 20:02:18 <_av500_> there is buildroot Sep 03 20:02:27 <_av500_> or the WRT variants Sep 03 20:02:35 <_av500_> add your kernel and be done Sep 03 20:02:36 JetForMe: there are tons of minimalist distros... Sep 03 20:02:57 rolando07: the current PRUspeak source code is at https://github.com/deepakkarki/pruspeak Sep 03 20:02:59 Well, there doesn't seem to be a ton of fast-booting distros. It's always an experiment someone shows off at a conference Sep 03 20:03:21 The author is often in the channel #beagle-gsoc Sep 03 20:03:40 I don't see him there now, but he goes by 'karki'. Sep 03 20:03:43 jkridner: ok, thank you Sep 03 20:04:03 For fast booting I wonder if the time delay is in all the hardware init stuff. Sep 03 20:04:37 hackish: the device tree overlay support just landed in mainline... Sep 03 20:04:42 still need to get the capemgr integrated. Sep 03 20:04:46 if not, in theory you could possibly halt the processor and image RAM to a file, then on restart simply load the image back into RAM and go. Sep 03 20:05:24 jkridner I went with: https://rcn-ee.net/deb/wheezy-armhf/v3.15.9-bone6/ Sep 03 20:05:26 hackish: no cape manager anymore === never was upstreamed and new experimental kernels don't YET have it. Sep 03 20:06:10 do you think it's best to fiddle with it and try to get the capes working or try to compile and install the wifi code for the older kernel? 3.8.13 Sep 03 20:06:36 rolando07: I advise playing with https://github.com/tuftsceeo/BotSpeakChromeExtension on an Arduino or R-Pi to understand what the experience should be (minus the need to use a Chrome Extension) Sep 03 20:07:45 rolando07: I did a web-based version at http://jadonk.github.io/bone101/examples/extras/botspeak/ with source at https://github.com/jadonk/bone101/tree/master/examples/extras/botspeak, but it uses JavaScript rather than PRUspeak. Sep 03 20:07:58 sounds good, jkridner Sep 03 20:14:07 Is there a way to configure conman to connect to both wired ethernet connection and wifi simultaneously? I use SSH over ethernet but the internet route is via wifi. Sep 03 20:24:52 I'm running debian. Would it be better to run angstrom instead? Sep 03 20:25:49 at this point I don't know how well angstrom is supported now Sep 03 20:28:29 is angstrom a no longer recommended thing? Sep 03 20:29:02 I don't really care either way, just want something that many people are using so I can have the easiest support. Sep 03 20:33:27 the beaglebone black as of rev C ships debian by default, if that matters. Sep 03 20:34:41 really sounds like changing from debian is not a good idea. Sep 03 20:38:11 I wouldn't say it's /not recommended/ but but being the default means that more people are going to be using it Sep 03 20:41:25 before that, angstrom was the default, so there are a lot of people using that as well. Sep 03 20:41:31 * vagrantc is certainly partial to debian Sep 03 20:42:44 I have to use debian-lenny for a contract project I'm using so familliar is better. Sep 03 20:43:40 this is about 4 years newer than that. Sep 03 20:44:45 not my choice, trust me but they have a big jumble of source and a makefile that magically works so who am I to try and bring it up to date. Sep 03 20:45:15 Someone who cares about system security and maintainability. Sep 03 20:46:05 It's embedded stuff so lenny is just used to develop and compile firmware images. Sep 03 20:47:59 good evening Sep 03 20:48:42 anybody have experience how to set custom video timings for beagle bone black ? Sep 03 20:49:28 i have an hdmi to vga adapter, after that i'm converting the rgb signals to composite, so i need custom timings to get an appropriate picture Sep 03 20:51:49 and as the cat reaches for the fish, the fish jumps into a pan, which releases the marmots... Sep 03 20:55:44 toxie87: mhm, I vaguely remember passing kernel cmdline arguments, but never did that on the BBB Sep 03 20:57:15 any help is appreciated :) Sep 03 21:00:02 Is there anyone here that uses the BBB for drones? Sep 03 21:02:25 I was going to use one for a drone Sep 03 21:02:50 changed your mind? Sep 03 21:03:55 no time right now. was going to use it on a heli Sep 03 21:04:34 yeah, I'm sure it would be a full time project. Sep 03 21:05:05 yes. electronics suite is very complex. Sep 03 21:05:05 Some guys at 3DR have spent a lot of time getting something up and running for drones Sep 03 21:05:40 Although linux is the best, the drone environment is a heavy real-time load. Sep 03 21:06:36 yes. opencv video cam gps etc Sep 03 21:07:40 the video stuff has to be run on something more potent, separately. The autopilot runs the BBB hard. Sep 03 21:07:56 THat seems...wrong. Sep 03 21:08:09 what part? Sep 03 21:08:09 Given how many autopilots run just fine on Arduino-like paltforms. Sep 03 21:08:31 Ahh yeah, but those are dedicated systems. Sep 03 21:08:39 I can think of no reason other than inefficient design that anything like a Beaglebone would struggle with such a simple application. Sep 03 21:08:42 So? Sep 03 21:08:52 the task is not a complicated one Sep 03 21:09:01 Linux and the BBB has a lot of power, but the RT challenges are tremendous. Sep 03 21:09:08 a. THis is what RT_PREEMPT or RTOS' are for. Sep 03 21:09:16 b. THis is what the PRUs are for. Sep 03 21:09:21 toxie87: cat your timings file to /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings Sep 03 21:10:02 SkyHawkDP: They clearly are not tremendous, or a 20MHz 8-bit single-stage pipeline could not do them. Sep 03 21:10:08 I would suggest cat'in from that file to a backup file fist, unless you like rebooting a lot Sep 03 21:10:10 yeah, they went to RT_PREEMPT to get it working, but even then not without challenges. Sep 03 21:10:11 autopiloting is not that complicated. Sep 03 21:10:16 ^^^ Sep 03 21:11:46 The auotpilots you speak of don't have 23 state Extended Kalman FIlters for instance Sep 03 21:11:48 SkyHawkDP: look at the PRU for hard realtime stuff Sep 03 21:12:25 Once those were in, the "regular" "arduino based" processors couldn't handle it any more Sep 03 21:13:24 SkyHawkDP: I stand by my comment that if an autopilot is taxing the bone, the system design and implementation is wildly inefficient. Sep 03 21:14:06 And/or, the design does not effectively use the full capabilities of the underlying hardware. Sep 03 21:14:34 Well, the autopilot has changed a lot since the arduino days. most are moving away from those processors now. Sep 03 21:15:08 SkyHawkDP, are you aware they are currently porting ardupilot to the beaglebone black and creating a pixhawk firecape for it? Sep 03 21:15:23 it uses the pru's for pwm and utilizes a rt kernel as well Sep 03 21:15:45 The BBB was chosen, because it had the power. High density of RT interrupts and real math processing in time critical applications had to be sorted out. Sep 03 21:15:58 a proper model is not hard to implement but if you get it wrong you can add lauers and layers of crap to try and patch it up Sep 03 21:16:04 ^^^ Sep 03 21:16:11 Yes, MIstaright. I'm speaking of that one. Sep 03 21:16:15 thurgood: unfortunately i have no omapdss in the devices folder :( Sep 03 21:17:22 The BBB has the power reiquired, and the knots have been worked out. I was just stating that it's not a one week project. Sep 03 21:17:44 toxie87: what do you have in the /sys/devices/ folder? (use pastebin) Sep 03 21:17:45 ::shrugs:: Sep 03 21:18:01 real autopilots use qnx Sep 03 21:18:22 hackish: Bare metal, programmed by cosmic rays. Sep 03 21:18:36 thurgood: http://pastebin.com/GhPgr8cm Sep 03 21:19:18 nobody uses baremetal Sep 03 21:19:24 I do. Sep 03 21:23:21 toxie87: try `find /sys/devices/ -name timings` Sep 03 21:26:11 no results Sep 03 21:26:18 :/ Sep 03 21:26:52 may have to modify your driver for the vga then if the timings aren't exposed Sep 03 21:28:38 i'm not using any kind of capes Sep 03 21:29:54 maybe it is doing everything via EDID Sep 03 21:30:13 in that case i should edit the EDID Sep 03 21:31:08 vga doesn't typically have edid, afaik Sep 03 21:31:40 unless you mean the controller on the cape.. maybe it does Sep 03 21:32:11 how are you getting vga? Sep 03 21:32:16 in this case i have an hdmi to vga converter connected to the hdmi port Sep 03 21:32:22 oh... Sep 03 21:32:38 I would look at the converter then :/ Sep 03 21:33:04 VGA totally has EDID. THat is what the I2C bus on the cable is for. Sep 03 21:34:04 http://pastebin.com/FmzxVERJ Sep 03 21:35:12 i've tried to forge a custom EDID but no luck Sep 03 21:50:27 i think i should try it with xorg.conf Sep 03 22:08:46 Hi! I am trying to add memory to my BeagleBone. I would like to use an SD car. Sep 03 22:09:07 How do I do this? Sep 03 22:12:49 HI! I am trying to add memory to my beagleboard using and SD card. How do I do so? Sep 03 22:13:14 step 1. insert the sd card Sep 03 22:13:21 that's it Sep 03 22:13:39 and for a USB drive? Sep 03 22:13:53 use an sd card Sep 03 22:14:17 Ok and how do I make sure there is more space? Sep 03 22:15:40 And how do I make sure that the SD card is getting used? I have been using the command df Sep 03 22:16:47 it has a weird device name i can't remember. but you mount it like: Sep 03 22:16:51 mkdir /mnt/sd Sep 03 22:16:59 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd Sep 03 22:17:02 df -h /mnt/sd Sep 03 22:17:28 Ok I think I already did that but I will try again one second and thanks! Sep 03 22:17:31 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD Sep 03 22:17:55 might help Sep 03 22:18:56 ah maybe not, anyway it's just the same as any linux just different device name Sep 03 22:18:59 I have been following that. Isn't it only if you are booting off an SD card or does the SD card they are refering to include the one already in teh beagleboard Sep 03 22:27:26 yay! u-boot directly on eMMC without all that crazy partitioning mess. Sep 03 22:41:54 does anybody know how I can install bitbake on ubuntu? The angstrom distro tells us to do sudo apt-get install bitbake but apt-get cannot find that package Sep 03 22:42:28 I tried a lot of things I saw on google and I still do not have a good installation of bitbake on my ubuntu box :-( Sep 03 23:43:13 howdy Sep 03 23:47:03 I am trying to add extra memory to my beagle bone with an SD card. Following this procedure : http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD Sep 03 23:47:32 However whenever I finish and attempt to resive I am told that my blocks are already too long Sep 03 23:57:39 Or is it possible to use a USB drive as extended space for the beaglebone? Sep 04 00:13:19 I have a question regarding the use of GPIO pins used by the HDMI cape Sep 04 00:13:45 Is there real people here, or are these robots? Sep 04 00:14:18 Hello? Sep 04 00:18:30 .. and goodbye... ? Sep 04 00:20:06 people? I thought this was a channel just for us robots Sep 04 00:27:44 hi is there anyone here who can help me get more memory on my beaglebone? Sep 04 00:30:56 www.downloadmoreram.com Sep 04 00:31:28 lol Sep 04 00:33:31 thanks Sep 04 00:34:19 but how do I add this properly to the Beaglebone Sep 04 00:56:49 has anyone managed to get the emmc dumping zip / sd card image to actually work? (from the wiki) Sep 04 01:18:09 I was thinking about trying to replace the eeprom on my board design with software i2c on the atmega 328 I am already including to save BOM costs, any thoughts? Sep 04 01:19:52 So long as it behaves in the manner in which the board and the user expect, with the addresses settable to the correct 4? I see no reason why not. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 04 02:59:58 2014
