**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 23 03:00:00 2014 Sep 23 05:29:21 moin. Sep 23 05:29:52 What Do you thing guys, how long will the BBB be available? Or at least a pin compatible version? Sep 23 05:33:22 I'd expect for quite long, as there seems no intention by TI to change availability of the SoC Sep 23 05:33:53 it's an industrial SoC, so probably will be available for quite long Sep 23 06:25:38 ok, I hope so too. Hopefully it will be the same like it was with arduino. Can't remember since when the uno is available now, but must be at least 6 years. Sep 23 06:36:57 also schematics are available and everything. so if there is a huge need you might just make your own run. probably need to roll hundreds or thousands though. Sep 23 10:11:17 BBB boot hang because "UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. " Any clue? Sep 23 10:11:38 filesystem crashed Sep 23 10:13:47 Hello,I am interested to contribute to beagleboard by using python...i dont know which repositories i should clone as there wee many repos on this site https://github.com/beagleboard Sep 23 10:14:10 Please tell me,Thank you Sep 23 10:15:24 Hi, woglinde. Yes it's because filesystem crashed. But any way to avoid? We're on a product which always lost power directly. Sep 23 10:17:34 Jerome_: which filesystem are you using? Sep 23 10:17:58 Naman__: what are you particularly interested in contributing to? Sep 23 10:19:17 I would like to explore the python libraries and see where i can contribute...i am a beginner for opensource contribution.. Sep 23 10:22:44 Jerome_: please stay on the channel Sep 23 10:24:50 tbr_:ok Sep 23 10:25:49 Naman__: well, I'd suggest to get familiar with the python libraries that target the beaglebone are first. Sep 23 10:26:22 Naman__: then reach out to their maintainers and ask for good ways to contribute for a beginner Sep 23 10:27:00 i could contribute my python hd484... display bitbanging library :P Sep 23 10:27:25 Yes,thats why i was aksking..from where can i get those repositories? Sep 23 10:27:32 asking* Sep 23 10:44:02 is it that hard to google for python and bbb? Sep 23 10:56:04 hi Sep 23 10:58:41 hi rotti Sep 23 13:49:14 HI, More a linux question..... I have to "echo 0 >" in multiple gpio value files at same time , is there a linux command to regroup multiple files as an alias or something like ?? Sep 23 13:50:30 Freddy: no Sep 23 13:51:45 even if there was as the file level, that would not mean the kernel switches the GPIOs at the same time Sep 23 13:51:55 for stuff like that a kernel driver is the better option Sep 23 13:52:18 or *cough* /dev/*cough*mem Sep 23 13:52:27 *cough* Sep 23 13:53:56 av500: not same exact time needed, it's just to avoid to repeat 8 or 16 times (my need) the same "echo 0 > ...../value" syntax inside a shell script... Sep 23 13:54:56 oh well Sep 23 13:57:49 Freddy: Loops exist. Sep 23 13:59:36 perhaps "echo 0 | tee gpio1/value gpio2/value ....." Sep 23 14:02:01 not even a symlink to a group of files ?? mmmm...... Sep 23 14:06:48 how would you "symlink" a group of files? Sep 23 14:06:56 when you edit one, you edit them all? Sep 23 14:07:21 Freddy: Seriously, you are trying to do the wrong thing. Use a loop. Sep 23 14:14:25 agmlego: I need to write some gpio/value with different value as usual, sometime instead I need to reset all of them to 0 , so I fill the script with a stack of "echo 0 > value" etc.etc. Sep 23 14:14:44 Right, which is what a loop is for instead. Sep 23 14:14:54 something like: Sep 23 14:15:07 not an expert of programming... Sep 23 14:15:24 for gpio in {a,b,c}; do echo 0 > /path/to/$gpio; done Sep 23 14:15:32 Well, clearly, you need to get better at it. ;-P Sep 23 14:16:21 Yes , clear, I try... Sep 23 14:16:25 Thanks Sep 23 14:16:30 No problem./ Sep 23 14:17:10 Note that a, b, and c need to be replace3d with the actual gpio filenames, and the /path/to/ bit needs to be replaced with the actual path. Sep 23 14:18:06 So, you could do somthing like: Sep 23 14:18:42 for gpio in {139,140}; do echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio$gpio/value; done Sep 23 14:19:08 Where the $gpio part is a substitution for the values in the array, 139 and 140. Sep 23 14:21:13 Freddy: You would not go wrong following one of the many tutorials online for things like "Introduction to bash scripting". Sep 23 14:29:43 ok it works !! Sep 23 14:36:13 agmlego: Could I do something like: Sep 23 14:36:24 gpios="gpio139/value gpio140/value" Sep 23 14:36:38 for f in $gpios Sep 23 14:36:45 do Sep 23 14:36:56 echo 0 > $f Sep 23 14:36:57 done Sep 23 14:36:59 ?? Sep 23 14:37:25 https://www.google.com/search?q=bash+for+loops Sep 23 14:58:09 HELLO Sep 23 14:58:22 no need to shout Sep 23 14:58:47 I WOULD LIKE TO BUY BB-BONE000... Sep 23 14:58:57 CAN ANY ONE HELP Sep 23 14:59:11 stop shouting Sep 23 14:59:45 HELLO Sep 23 14:59:53 CAN ANYONEHELP Sep 23 15:00:00 WHERE IT IS AVAILABLE Sep 23 15:01:56 http://octopart.com/bb-bblk-000-circuitco+electronics-26478322 Sep 23 15:03:00 for the BB-BONE-000 .. looks like no where Sep 23 15:03:03 http://octopart.com/bb-bone-000-circuitco+electronics-20732969 Sep 23 15:13:05 http://garagelabstore.com/store/embedded/beagle-bone-black.html Sep 23 19:04:47 quiet day on #beagle? Sep 23 19:53:06 Hi friends! Sep 23 19:53:46 I wish to have a confirmation about the FTDI cable I plan to buy Sep 23 19:53:52 Does someone can help? Sep 23 19:54:35 I currently have the non-regulated cable (power supplied by the board). I'm assuming I can use the self regulated (3.3VDC) cable instead Sep 23 19:54:50 Can you please confirm this to me before I proceed to order? Sep 23 19:55:26 I'd expect so, yeah Sep 23 19:56:39 Thanks Thomas. I'd expect it too. The cable is around 20 bucks ... not so expensive but the board is more :p Sep 23 19:56:56 I use one thats usb powered .. Sep 23 19:57:21 after all it only needs tx/rx/gnd Sep 23 19:57:28 such cables cost USD 2-3 usually Sep 23 19:57:44 Great! Thank you both Sep 23 19:57:53 both of you Sep 23 19:58:29 tbr .. thats fairly surprising, because the ft232 chip they normally use are at least $3 ! Sep 23 19:58:52 although future tech have produced some cut down versions finally Sep 23 19:58:54 probably counterfeit then :) Sep 23 19:59:19 IIRC there were some fake ft232 floating around Sep 23 19:59:46 but yeah, those things are usually not much more expensive than the chip itself. Sep 23 19:59:54 http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?pv167=804&FV=fff40018%2Cfff804dc%2Cfffc0300%2C7b40135&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25 Sep 23 19:59:54 been using the ftdi's for years .. very reliable Sep 23 20:01:29 https://www.adafruit.com/products/954 or http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Accessories#Standard_FTDI_Cable Sep 23 20:01:43 there are cheaper solutions than ftdi Sep 23 20:02:23 I bought cp21xx which can do 3,3 and 5V Sep 23 20:02:29 for 5 eurod Sep 23 20:02:33 euros Sep 23 20:02:52 I've used the cp21xx on a miner asic, and the prolific, but both have their quirks. Sep 23 20:03:23 Interestingly, I actually had a problem addressing a serial console on a servo drive using the ftdi, but the pl2303 worked. Very unusual though. Sep 23 20:04:00 I am only using it for serial console Sep 23 20:04:22 for the beagle we happened to have a Propellor plug lying around .. :) Sep 23 20:04:47 but we make ftdi boards for rs485 and others. Sep 23 23:34:18 does the XM support xcomposite in x? Sep 23 23:34:49 im trying to get e18 running (gentoo linux) and cannot seem to get xcomposite working Sep 24 01:23:59 hi **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 24 03:00:00 2014
