**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 16 03:00:00 2014 Oct 16 06:34:56 i am trying to flash the beaglebone black - from micro-SD card.. for the last 30 mins.. the lights been flashing.. how long should I wait? Oct 16 06:38:47 can anyone please help with my query? Oct 16 06:47:34 i am trying to flash the beaglebone black - from micro-SD card.. for the last 30 mins.. the lights been flashing.. how long should I wait? Oct 16 06:48:52 i loaded the microSD card, hold the power button for few seconds.. then connected the USB cable to computer . ... Oct 16 06:49:23 its taking more than 30 mins.. for the past 15 mins.. the four bank of lights been flashing Oct 16 06:49:29 is it expected? Oct 16 06:49:36 how long should I wait? Oct 16 06:49:48 for the flashing process to complete Oct 16 06:58:21 ramp78: if you're using one of the standard "flasher" images it should not take more than 10 minutes Oct 16 07:00:02 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black has some info on the LEDs Oct 16 07:05:16 thanks mashiara Oct 16 07:07:11 there are two buttons one for reset and other for power buttons.. Oct 16 07:07:26 which one i should hold longer initially before the leds turn on Oct 16 07:07:36 this is for beaglebone black Oct 16 07:08:18 the one nearest the SD card is the boot-button if I remember correctlyt Oct 16 07:08:23 * mashiara has just woken up Oct 16 07:09:04 ok Oct 16 07:10:18 ok i restarted the flashing process Oct 16 07:10:28 hopefully this time .. it should work smoothly Oct 16 07:11:21 this time i am trying angstrom Oct 16 07:12:00 in the instruction it says 30 - 45 mins Oct 16 07:12:24 wait time.. for the flashing to complete? Oct 16 07:41:21 mashiara..the flashing process is not complete yet Oct 16 07:41:42 its almost close to 30 mins.. Oct 16 07:42:33 does it look like it’s doing something, I don’t know about angstrom but the debian and ubuntu flashers flash the user led in “heartbeat” pattern, then of course the SD and eMMC leds flash quickly Oct 16 07:42:49 since it’s reading and writing Oct 16 07:43:18 all one led is almost solid.. Oct 16 07:43:56 while 1st and 3rd leds are flashing Oct 16 07:44:11 couldn't make any pattern from these Oct 16 07:44:37 first i tried debian flasher.. Oct 16 07:44:57 it didn't flash correctly.. hence i switched to angstrom Oct 16 07:45:16 is there any other way to test the flashing has been done ? Oct 16 07:46:50 will keep it on.. for another 15 mins.. Oct 16 07:49:05 the flasher might report progress on the serial console Oct 16 07:49:13 I have no idea, never had to debug it Oct 16 07:49:56 ok Oct 16 07:51:09 <_rotti> hi! Oct 16 07:51:41 hi Oct 16 08:15:46 hi all, has anyone had any issues running python scripts from php pages? Oct 16 08:17:02 aaand this is related to BeagleBoard how ? Oct 16 08:21:22 no Oct 16 08:21:32 and running python from php is stupid as well Oct 16 08:21:42 just run a bash script from cgi Oct 16 08:21:45 what can go wrong? Oct 16 08:28:00 av500 when you need to run python php you should have considered to use django in the first place and dash php at all Oct 16 08:28:04 +from Oct 16 09:23:27 Hi All Oct 16 09:23:34 Please help me Oct 16 09:23:50 I have question on booting the BBB Oct 16 09:26:41 I want to download and compile the Oct 16 09:26:47 u boot code Oct 16 09:26:56 and run on the BBB Oct 16 09:30:06 vijay_: try to find some tutorials if you are doing it for the first time Oct 16 09:30:49 the way it works is you cross compile on your host system and send the bin file to the board. Oct 16 09:32:28 yes, Oct 16 09:32:33 I understand Oct 16 09:32:54 but how to configure the board to pick the uboot from SD card Oct 16 09:33:49 if you know any links Oct 16 09:33:53 please send me Oct 16 09:38:28 http://bit.ly/1styglp Oct 16 09:53:24 vijay_ you do not need to recompile u-boot for this task Oct 16 09:53:34 just remove the u-boot on the emmc[3~ Oct 16 13:06:55 hi, i am new to beaglebone. Can anyone please suggest me an AC current sensor which gives a DC voltage as output to use with beaglebone Oct 16 13:07:46 https://www.google.com/search?q=beaglebone+current+sensor Oct 16 13:11:07 @av500: mate, i went through google. but the thing is i couldn't find a suitable one. But i was expecting a user experienced one. But appreciate your reply. Il have a further look Oct 16 13:11:21 how much current? Oct 16 13:12:19 and my crystal ball is broken, I cannt see whether you googled or not Oct 16 13:13:04 How do you connect a crystal ball to the board anyway? Oct 16 13:13:15 https://www.google.com/search?q=arduino+current+sensor Oct 16 13:13:22 I am using the BBB to power up a water pump. Just for testing I am using two 40W bulbs with 240V Ac current. Oct 16 13:13:47 240V is not a current Oct 16 13:13:51 it is a voltage Oct 16 13:14:13 *g* Oct 16 13:14:28 * ogra_ prefers recent to current Oct 16 13:15:06 he ogra Oct 16 13:15:12 yo Oct 16 13:15:53 @av500: my bad, i am sorry. Will this work with my requirement mate? Oct 16 13:15:58 http://www.ebay.com/itm/50A-100A-150A-200A-Bi-Uni-AC-DC-Current-Sensor-Module-arduino-compatible/111327343425?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D26943%26meid%3D7e549b1af1cd429b8cb15b217bf4fadf%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D11184%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D111040360152 Oct 16 13:16:11 I still dont know your requirement Oct 16 13:18:05 @av500> : i want to check whether the correct current is going through when the water pump is turned on. ( Relay On). So, i want to measure the AC current. Oct 16 13:18:52 yes, how much current? Oct 16 13:18:59 100mA? 1A, 100A? Oct 16 13:19:56 @av500 : 0-5A Oct 16 13:31:15 av500: are you there mate? Oct 16 13:43:12 now I am Oct 16 13:45:24 Hello, I'm trying to make my customized eMMc image for bbb, i've tried several ways, using dd, rsync, tar, etc when booting through a sd card, but none worked. I was wondering which is the best way or another that I`vent tried yet, and if maybe I could mount the debian image, modify it, and use it to flash the emmc with my customizations, is it possible? Thanks Oct 16 13:46:39 PS: have tried the instructions here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Extracting_eMMC_contents the backup goes fine, but can't restore, after restore the board won't boot Oct 16 13:49:12 so what is different? Oct 16 13:49:28 between the original and the restored image? Oct 16 13:50:03 some installed packages, changed background, minor changes to openbox conf Oct 16 13:52:07 my plan was to take the debian flasher image, mount it, make the changes I need, by restoring a tar of the eMMc generated with the autorun script provided with the link above, and then use this image to flash the emmc Oct 16 13:53:17 if you have debiab why not modify it at runtime? Oct 16 13:53:41 tried also using the autorun.sh to make a image with dd as it was meant to, it apparently makes a valid image, but won't boot after restore Oct 16 13:54:31 the main problem is that I'm planing to use this image to flash 500~1000 bbb, the less manual steps it has, better Oct 16 13:54:47 hxla use a serial console to see whats wrong Oct 16 13:55:00 otherwise its like fishing in the dark Oct 16 13:57:46 woglinde: thanks for the tip, unfortunately I don't have any serial adapter, will get one and see if it gives me more information Oct 16 14:00:21 hxla: before you modify anything Oct 16 14:00:29 make a backup/restore cycle that changes nothing Oct 16 14:00:33 and see if that boots Oct 16 14:00:38 if it does not, find out why Oct 16 14:00:47 then move to step 2 Oct 16 14:02:03 good idea, I'll generate a backup using dd and try to boot it, it this boots, I'll make it again, changing the hostname of anything, to be sure that has been restored Oct 16 14:05:40 just one more question, I'm not sure how the debian imagem flashes the emmc, but from a technical view, it's possible to modify the debian image to make the changes I need, and then use the same image to make it flash with my changes right? Oct 16 14:06:09 modifying the second partition that contais the data Oct 16 14:15:09 sure Oct 16 14:15:12 its all SE Oct 16 14:15:13 SW Oct 16 14:15:58 what now ? east or west ? Oct 16 14:49:14 hi Oct 16 14:49:35 someone here? Oct 16 14:50:08 no Oct 16 14:50:34 what is the best way to connecto my pc monitor Packard bell Viseo 193DX with my Beagleboard black? Oct 16 14:51:19 what inputs does it have? Oct 16 14:51:28 RS232 Oct 16 14:51:46 the monitor? Oct 16 14:51:49 mdp: ^^^^ Oct 16 14:52:10 ah VGA only Oct 16 14:52:11 cool Oct 16 14:52:17 yes Oct 16 14:52:18 you cannot connect it directly Oct 16 14:52:21 hi guys what h bridge do you guys recommend i use with the beaglebone black? I need something that can provide up to 1a a motor. I only need to drive a single motor so a single motor driver is fine as well Oct 16 14:52:27 you need a HDMI to VGA converter box Oct 16 14:52:33 which might cost as much as the BBB Oct 16 14:52:39 get a better monitor instead Oct 16 14:52:51 mistawright: something L298 based? Oct 16 14:52:58 ok Oct 16 14:53:05 any suggerions? Oct 16 14:53:05 https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9670 Oct 16 14:53:37 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-1pcs-lot-Special-promotions-2pcs-lot-L298N-motor-driver-board-module-stepper-motor-smart/1872427142.html Oct 16 14:53:44 vacing: any DVI/HDMI monitor should do Oct 16 14:54:17 av500 btw. rtmux is the new xenomai but easier Oct 16 14:54:27 woglinde: yes, so I heard Oct 16 14:56:39 av500, i have used those and somehow messed them up maybe it was the pwm signal sent to it. I killed three in the same manner. worked for about 15 minutes and then stopped going in reverse all together. tested with arduino and wouldnt work at all. same thing pretty much happened using pololu tb6612fng's except I couldnt get them to reverse using the beaglebone. And when i tried with an arduino after the arduino burned Oct 16 14:56:39 up the tb6612fng and it was correctly wired Oct 16 14:57:51 ok thank you! Oct 16 14:58:09 mistawright: no idea Oct 16 14:58:17 they work for me with an MSP430 Oct 16 15:11:21 hi all Oct 16 15:11:45 who should I talk to about the BB black hardware design? Oct 16 15:12:05 I have a couple of questions regarding DDR Oct 16 15:12:06 what i need to connect my keyboard and mouse to my beaglebone black? Oct 16 15:12:25 a usb hub Oct 16 15:12:37 shmr2: ask Gerald on the mailing list Oct 16 15:13:03 okay thanks - he doesn't hang around on IRC? Oct 16 15:13:09 nope Oct 16 15:13:13 he does real work Oct 16 15:13:27 kk fairs Oct 16 15:13:30 thanks Oct 16 15:13:34 @av500 why Oct 16 15:13:35 ? Oct 16 15:13:52 because there is only one usb host port Oct 16 15:13:54 mouse and keyboard are connected to only one USB port? Oct 16 15:13:59 ok Oct 16 15:14:03 thank you Oct 16 15:14:06 np Oct 16 15:17:38 if I use a MCP9808 temperature sensor, it will work fine with the bonescript library? Oct 16 15:18:07 trying to replicate this tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/mcp9808-temperature-sensor-python-library/overview with bonescript Oct 16 15:27:55 Using a Beagleboard XM Rev c, and each image I have used, will display the color bars and nothing else on either S-Video or HDMI. I am able to putty to the beagleboard so I know it works. What might be some things I can check to get video on the Monitor Oct 16 15:33:19 Please anay sugestion about cheap LCD for exmaple BB VIEW_43 LCD? Oct 16 15:33:43 BB VIEW_43 + UBUNTU Oct 16 17:44:02 gpearson: what are your display settings? Oct 16 17:50:36 I have been going over my notes from a year ago when I was playing iwth BB XM. I am trying to also find a computer with Serial port to hook BB to it to get output from console. Let me try another LCD Monitor to see if it works. Oct 16 17:59:13 It was the default display resolution on the images that was the issue. I hooked the BB XM to a larger 55" LCD Monitor and every image worked. Now to work on changing the display resolution so it will work on a smaller 27: LCD Monitor Oct 16 18:51:36 kimse varmı Oct 16 18:52:31 is there anyone Oct 16 18:53:34 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 16 19:35:07 in /sys/devices/ have no bonecapemgr.* Oct 16 19:42:50 mistawright: not sure if rcn-ee got the capemanager working in 3.14 if that's the kernel you're using Oct 16 19:44:57 yeah it is Oct 16 20:48:55 Hello. Oct 16 20:49:53 https://8chan.co/tech/src/1413487900559.png Oct 16 20:49:58 thouhgts? Oct 16 20:50:17 I know that many people are saying they are no longer giving Raspberry Pi a single cent. Oct 16 20:50:26 Was linked to this place. Oct 16 20:50:43 ? Oct 16 20:50:57 I was thinking of buying one for the past few weeks, hook it up to an external HDD and use it as a home server of sorts. Oct 16 20:51:08 hwat's the raspberry got to do with gamergate? Oct 16 20:51:13 Nothing. Oct 16 20:51:31 It's just that the PR people there decided to run their mouth about things they know nothing about. Oct 16 20:51:45 Why can't tech companies just stick to tech? Oct 16 20:52:43 do you plan on using a usb-sata adapter Oct 16 20:53:39 olimex boards and jetson have sata Oct 16 20:53:52 nvidia jetson k1 Oct 16 20:53:59 olimex are around 30 euros Oct 16 20:54:06 Possibly, might end up just using a USB powered external HDD. Oct 16 20:55:01 I ran into issues with port forwarding anyways, I can't get SSH to work over the internet. Oct 16 20:55:35 My stupid ISP put up some weird ass spanish router for some godforsaken reason, and I can't acess it. Oct 16 23:37:41 Im running ubntu 14.04 on my BBB, what is the best way to stream captured data from my rtl-sdr to a server Oct 17 02:07:34 anyone know a way to stop the hmdi chip killing GPS signal near the beaglebone? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 17 03:00:00 2014
