**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 15 02:59:59 2014
Dec 15 06:29:06 <RahulAN> hii all
Dec 15 06:29:19 <RahulAN> please hel me in making my beagle board working
Dec 15 06:29:23 <RahulAN> *help
Dec 15 06:29:55 <RahulAN> i tried 12.04 14.04 image in 8 gb card and 16 gb also but i am not getting any thing on screen..
Dec 15 06:30:34 <RahulAN> how much power consumption is need to BBB
Dec 15 06:30:43 <RahulAN> i am giving 5V 1AMP
Dec 15 06:31:14 <RahulAN> and as i remount the card to pc i get boot partition but rootfs says error
Dec 15 06:31:24 <RahulAN> JBD2: no valid journal superblock found
Dec 15 06:31:30 <RahulAN>  EXT4-fs (sdb2): error loading journal
Dec 15 06:32:44 <dastaan> RahulAN: 5v, 1 Amp should do.
Dec 15 06:32:53 <RahulAN> Not working
Dec 15 06:32:59 <RahulAN> i mean it is working
Dec 15 06:33:10 <RahulAN> but the image i am dumping is not working
Dec 15 06:33:18 <RahulAN> i downloaded the fress image
Dec 15 06:33:21 <RahulAN> *fresh
Dec 15 06:33:28 <dastaan> that's strange
Dec 15 06:33:37 <dastaan> Are you running windows or linux ?
Dec 15 06:34:02 <dastaan> while plugging in card in your PC, what does dmesg say ?
Dec 15 06:34:10 <dastaan> in case, if you're running linux
Dec 15 06:34:54 <RahulAN> Linux
Dec 15 06:35:13 <RahulAN> it says the 2 lines i posted
Dec 15 06:35:43 <RahulAN> And also in my BOOT section only 2 files are there
Dec 15 06:35:56 <tbr> RahulAN: use the official debian image, that works.
Dec 15 06:36:35 <RahulAN> tbr, can you link me
Dec 15 06:37:43 <tbr> beagleboard.org
Dec 15 06:38:00 <dastaan> yeh, seems like a good idea
Dec 15 06:38:40 <RahulAN> http://beagleboard.org/latest-images
Dec 15 06:38:48 <RahulAN> first one is correct??
Dec 15 06:40:13 <dastaan> http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz
Dec 15 06:41:03 <RahulAN> dastaan, Ok
Dec 15 06:41:06 <tbr> that will flash your device
Dec 15 06:41:22 <RahulAN> i need to run with sd card
Dec 15 06:41:31 <dastaan> http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz
Dec 15 06:41:44 <dastaan> ^ this one will boot from sd
Dec 15 06:41:59 <RahulAN> dastaan, with dd command
Dec 15 06:42:07 <dastaan> yes
Dec 15 06:42:17 <RahulAN> dd if=image of=/dev/sdb  bs=4M
Dec 15 06:42:25 <RahulAN> this is enough
Dec 15 06:42:27 <opcode> hey #beagle:  the little card that comes in the box warning not to just power off the device by unplugging... that's just because it might wreck the file system, right?  or will it actually damage the electronics?
Dec 15 06:42:38 <tbr> RahulAN: don't forget to unxz the image first
Dec 15 06:42:46 <RahulAN> Ohkk
Dec 15 06:43:01 <RahulAN> tbr, check the command for flashing to card..
Dec 15 06:43:04 <tbr> opcode: that's mainly for the FS
Dec 15 06:43:31 <opcode> tbr: okay, i figured as much.  but surely a journaling FS shouldn't have that problem?
Dec 15 06:43:43 <tbr> opcode: make sure that if you turn off the board there are no external voltages possibly feeding into the board as that might fry the soc
Dec 15 06:43:55 <opcode> ah okay
Dec 15 06:44:20 <tbr> opcode: also a journaling fs corrups, it then has to roll back in the journal, loses some data, etc.
Dec 15 06:44:47 <opcode> ok
Dec 15 06:48:25 <RahulAN> can it be the problem of card also??
Dec 15 06:48:44 <RahulAN> Bcoz the same image was working with other cards and beagle too
Dec 15 06:49:21 <RahulAN> but the card is formatting fine and then i am formating it to FAT32
Dec 15 06:52:38 <tbr> if it makes you feel better, use a different card
Dec 15 06:55:48 <RahulAN> tbr, because i have a ubuntu image and it is fine
Dec 15 06:56:21 <tbr> you said your ubuntu images were not working.
Dec 15 06:56:40 <RahulAN> yes with that card it wasn't
Dec 15 06:56:43 <RahulAN> working
Dec 15 06:56:55 <tbr> so, throw away the card, take the next card. simple.
Dec 15 06:57:15 <RahulAN> tbr, Ok.. let me give last chance
Dec 15 06:57:30 <RahulAN> i did dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
Dec 15 06:57:38 <RahulAN> bs=512 count=1
Dec 15 06:57:57 <RahulAN> sorry
Dec 15 07:03:36 <RahulAN> tbr,  now both partisions are mounting correctly but not booting when put to BBB
Dec 15 07:03:44 <RahulAN> *partitions
Dec 15 07:03:54 <tbr> what do you mean by "not booting"
Dec 15 07:04:24 <RahulAN> tbr, i am pressing switch to boot from sd card no led is blinking
Dec 15 07:04:56 <tbr> RahulAN: did you write the debian image to the card?
Dec 15 07:05:14 <RahulAN> tbr, no
Dec 15 07:05:21 <RahulAN> tbr, i tried my ubuntu image
Dec 15 07:05:25 <tbr> then there is nothing to discuss
Dec 15 07:06:06 <tbr> if you expect any help, use the debian image.
Dec 15 07:06:17 <RahulAN> Ohkk downloading it
Dec 15 09:59:25 <RahulAN> tbr, I downloaded debian image
Dec 15 10:01:45 <RahulAN> i did unxz and now doing dd if=.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
Dec 15 10:16:10 <RahulAN> tbr, it booted and i am getting screen of debian
Dec 15 10:30:22 <tbr> RahulAN: see, everything is awesome.
Dec 15 10:30:51 <RahulAN> tbr, yes i did it previously..
Dec 15 10:30:56 <RahulAN> it is very fine
Dec 15 11:00:23 <RahulAN> tbr, how to expand the partition
Dec 15 11:00:30 <RahulAN> it is only showing space of 2 gb
Dec 15 11:00:43 <RahulAN> tbr, i wanna use whole 165 gb
Dec 15 11:00:47 <RahulAN> *165 Gb
Dec 15 11:00:54 <RahulAN> sorry 16 GB
Dec 15 11:01:10 <tbr> like on any other linux installation.
Dec 15 11:01:18 <tbr> resize partition, grow filesystem
Dec 15 11:02:52 <RahulAN> http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian
Dec 15 11:03:03 <RahulAN> here is soething for expanding partition
Dec 15 11:03:25 <RahulAN> do i use gparted to expand partition or it can be done from Beaglenone itself
Dec 15 11:10:01 <tbr> either should work
Dec 15 11:10:58 <RahulAN> tbr, /opt/script/tools have grow_partition.sh
Dec 15 11:11:03 <RahulAN> it worked for me
Dec 15 11:44:00 <gvo> I just attempted to flash my BBB and it isn't responding.  BBB-eMMC-flasher-v2013.12-2014.08.25.img.  When I first power on and hold S2 down, the blue lights start flashing fairly quickly but eventually they go out.  I can't ssh to it.
Dec 15 11:45:56 <gvo> Mounting the SD card on Linux, it looks fine.
Dec 15 11:47:15 <gvo> Pulling the SD card from the BBB and powering it on doesn't seem to work.  It shows only one blue light.  No activity anywhere else.
Dec 15 11:47:20 <woglinde> gvo use a serial cable
Dec 15 11:48:08 <gvo> I"m connected via a USB cable, is that what you mean?
Dec 15 11:49:05 <woglinde> no serial cable ftdi-like so you get the kernel and u-boot messages
Dec 15 11:49:21 <woglinde> all other is as driving blindly
Dec 15 11:50:07 <gvo> True.  So having not done that with this board, will my Arduino ftdi cable work?  Is it 5 or 3 volts?
Dec 15 12:00:32 <tbr> gvo: it's 3.3V, 5V is not recommended
Dec 15 12:00:49 <tbr> gvo: make sure to press and hold the button before connecting power to the board.
Dec 15 12:01:16 <tbr> ah, you went through flashing already...
Dec 15 12:01:21 <gvo> I did that
Dec 15 12:01:38 <gvo> So it's telling me ** File not found /boot/zImage **
Dec 15 12:02:11 <tbr> so it can't find the kernel, interesting
Dec 15 12:03:02 <gvo> RIght.  The sd card looks like it's a pretty well fleshed out linux system.
Dec 15 12:03:27 <gvo> I'll try reflashing with the serial cable and see if that makes a difference.
Dec 15 12:04:25 <gvo> Interesting
Dec 15 12:05:44 <gvo> It got a few error messages with respect to the gpio but then libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found and [    7.392646] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1
Dec 15 12:05:57 <gvo> No more messages
Dec 15 12:06:21 <gvo> I can login here however.
Dec 15 12:06:45 <tbr> yeah, you should be able to observe the flashing process
Dec 15 12:07:13 <gvo> How long does the flash take?
Dec 15 12:08:04 <gvo> And how will I know it's done?
Dec 15 12:08:06 <tbr> I think 5-15min
Dec 15 12:08:26 <tbr> try "top" or ps, there is probably some process like dd or rsync running
Dec 15 12:09:47 <gvo> OK so that's probably the original problem, I didn't wait long enough.  Guess I'll go get breakfast and come back and see what's happening.  Nothing obvous in the ps display
Dec 15 12:12:32 <tbr> it used to be that all leds would go solid when done. not sure what they do nowadays
Dec 15 13:02:46 <gvo> imk4gvo
Dec 15 13:06:43 <gvo> The documentation says to watch the flashing leds but they went out.  They aren't flashing any longer.
Dec 15 13:15:24 <gvo> I don't think the beast is flashing.  I'm manually running /usr/bin/emmc.sh from the /build directory.  I'll see what happens.
Dec 15 13:15:35 <gvo> It's doing something different
Dec 15 13:17:05 <gvo> ./mkcard.sh: line 82: kpartx: command not found
Dec 15 13:17:17 <gvo> And other errors.
Dec 15 13:19:02 <tb__> gvo, what are you trying to do
Dec 15 13:19:16 <gvo> Flash a new image
Dec 15 13:19:22 <tb__> eMMC image?
Dec 15 13:19:37 <gvo> BBB-eMMC-flasher-v2013.12-2014.08.25.img
Dec 15 13:19:50 <tb__> yeah, when i did it my lights eventually all went out
Dec 15 13:20:07 <tb__> they didn't "all stay on" like the docs say, lol
Dec 15 13:20:19 <gvo> How long did it take?
Dec 15 13:20:34 <tb__> hmmm--20 minutes, maybe 25
Dec 15 13:20:38 <tb__> i don't recall
Dec 15 13:20:47 <tb__> not the 30-45 i've seen mentioned
Dec 15 13:21:05 <tb__> if the lights are OUT and no activity is being seen, then it's done
Dec 15 13:21:05 <gvo> OK, well, I'm logged in and didn't see any activity.  ps didn't show anything running other than system daemons.
Dec 15 13:21:24 <tb__> well if you are logged in to the BBB, then it's running
Dec 15 13:21:25 <tb__> lol
Dec 15 13:21:29 <gvo> Hm, OK the lights went out within  a minute however.
Dec 15 13:21:44 <gvo> But if I remove the sd card it doesn't goot
Dec 15 13:21:45 <tb__> are you booted to the uSD card?
Dec 15 13:21:55 <tb__> then it didn't get flashed correctly
Dec 15 13:22:13 <gvo> I have no idea.  I put the SD card in, held the s2 down and applied power.
Dec 15 13:22:28 <tb__> which is S2?
Dec 15 13:22:34 <tb__> s2
Dec 15 13:22:39 <tb__> is that the BOOT button?
Dec 15 13:22:43 <gvo> And the lights flashed for a minute or so and I saw a login prompt.
Dec 15 13:22:53 <gvo> Yes s2 is the boot button next to the sd card.
Dec 15 13:22:56 <tb__> ok
Dec 15 13:23:04 <tb__> where did you see the login prompt?
Dec 15 13:23:16 <gvo> On a serial cable connection.
Dec 15 13:23:21 <gvo> ftdi cable
Dec 15 13:23:27 <tb__> i see
Dec 15 13:23:37 <tb__> sounds like it simply booted an OS
Dec 15 13:23:44 <gvo> Yes
Dec 15 13:24:21 <gvo> Using the docs I dd'ed the BBB-eMMC-flasher-v2013.12-2014.08.25.img to the SD card.
Dec 15 13:24:34 <tb__> when you pressed the BOOT button and powered up the board, did all the lites stay lit?
Dec 15 13:24:38 <gvo> It looks a lot like a bootable image.
Dec 15 13:24:58 <gvo> No when I powered up the lights flashed sorta randomly
Dec 15 13:25:12 <tb__> then it didn't start flashing
Dec 15 13:25:35 <tb__> so shut it down with the power button
Dec 15 13:25:42 <tb__> (next to Ethernet port)
Dec 15 13:26:11 <tb__> hold the BOOT button, and hit the POWER button again
Dec 15 13:26:11 <gvo> ok
Dec 15 13:26:17 <tb__> HOLD the boot button
Dec 15 13:26:27 <tb__> for like 5-8 seconds
Dec 15 13:26:40 <tb__> ...as long as it takes to get ALL the lights to stay lit
Dec 15 13:27:04 <gvo> They all lit for about 3 seconds and then went off to flashing randomly
Dec 15 13:27:17 <tb__> but they were all lit?
Dec 15 13:27:21 <gvo> Yes
Dec 15 13:27:27 <tb__> ok, then you should be on your way
Dec 15 13:27:42 <tb__> now, do you have it attached to a router by any chance?
Dec 15 13:27:56 <tb__> is your ETH plugged in to a LAN?
Dec 15 13:27:58 <gvo> No, I disconnected the ethernet cable
Dec 15 13:28:11 <tb__> you can plug it back in
Dec 15 13:28:16 <gvo> Just to make sure it wasn't interferring in some way.
Dec 15 13:28:30 <tb__> i never unplugged mine
Dec 15 13:28:38 <tb__> what's it going to interface with/to?
Dec 15 13:28:39 <gvo> Now the lights are all out. except for the power led.
Dec 15 13:28:53 <gvo> You mean eventually?
Dec 15 13:29:10 <tb__> no--while it's flashing
Dec 15 13:29:32 <tb__> look in your router's DHCP table--does it show up?
Dec 15 13:29:34 <gvo> It's not interfacing with anything right now.
Dec 15 13:29:37 <tb__> right
Dec 15 13:29:48 <tb__> that was my point--the ETH cable can be plugged in
Dec 15 13:29:56 <tb__> it won't hurt anything
Dec 15 13:30:31 <gvo> OK it shows up as ...106
Dec 15 13:30:44 <tb__> in the router?
Dec 15 13:30:52 <gvo> Yes
Dec 15 13:30:53 <tb__> 192.168.1.106, or something
Dec 15 13:30:59 <gvo> 192.168.2.106
Dec 15 13:31:00 <tb__> yeah, then it simply boted
Dec 15 13:31:02 <tb__> booted
Dec 15 13:31:19 <tb__> are you POSITIVE that you used an eMMC flasher?
Dec 15 13:31:28 <gvo> I used dd
Dec 15 13:31:38 <tb__> sounds to me like you simply used a regular distro, and it's doing exactly what it's supposed to
Dec 15 13:32:30 <gvo> BBB-eMMC-flasher-v2013.12-2014.08.25.img sounds like a flasher to me.
Dec 15 13:32:43 <gvo> It's from http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/testing/
Dec 15 13:32:45 <tb__> yeah
Dec 15 13:33:01 <tb__> did you check an md5sum, just to make sure that you got the right file?
Dec 15 13:33:39 <gvo> No
Dec 15 13:33:54 <tb__> do it
Dec 15 13:33:58 <tb__> it's easy
Dec 15 13:34:37 <gvo> I don't see the md5sum on the download page.
Dec 15 13:35:08 <tb__> then don't use that image
Dec 15 13:35:20 <tb__> why does it have to be a "testing" image?
Dec 15 13:35:39 <gvo> I'm following the guide at http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_software_update_process
Dec 15 13:35:46 <tb__> ok, let me look
Dec 15 13:35:47 <gvo> It has a link to that page
Dec 15 13:36:36 <tb__> yeah, well i would simply get the latest Angstrom (or Debian) image that you can find with an md5sum value given
Dec 15 13:36:39 <gvo> Here's a note that I missed.  WARNING: All the evidence suggests that you can't reflash your BBB solely on USB power -- get a 5VDC power supply.
Dec 15 13:36:43 <tb__> and use that image instead
Dec 15 13:36:56 <tb__> yeah, that's helpful
Dec 15 13:37:01 <salaet> Hi
Dec 15 13:37:05 <gvo> So if that's true, I'm not going to get very far.
Dec 15 13:37:16 <salaet> anybody knows any tool to clone beaglebone black?
Dec 15 13:37:16 <tb__> possibly not
Dec 15 13:37:25 <gvo> I can't find a supply with the right plug.
Dec 15 13:37:28 <salaet> soft
Dec 15 13:37:34 <tb__> salaet, just tar the root file system
Dec 15 13:37:35 <salaet> emmc of course
Dec 15 13:38:17 <tb__> put in a card and find a linux tutorial to show you the command to tar the entire file system (leaving out the actual tarred file)
Dec 15 13:38:51 <salaet> it's that know I do, but I ask about directly from usb
Dec 15 13:39:09 <salaet> know =now
Dec 15 13:39:36 <tb__> i am not sure what you're asking.... what does USB have to do with it?
Dec 15 13:39:45 <tb__> it's a Linux system. So use Linux commands
Dec 15 13:39:48 <tb__> tar, etc
Dec 15 13:40:39 <salaet> vvu has a good script that use uUSB
Dec 15 13:40:43 <salaet> https://github.com/ungureanuvladvictor/BBBlfs
Dec 15 13:40:54 <tb__> then i guess you have your answer
Dec 15 13:40:55 <gvo> tb_ thanks.
Dec 15 13:41:00 <tb__> no prob
Dec 15 13:41:07 <salaet> tb_ maybe
Dec 15 13:41:30 <salaet> I dont know how to do Image from emmc, I go to search
Dec 15 13:41:33 <salaet> thanks tb_
Dec 15 13:41:42 <tb__> ok
Dec 15 13:41:45 <tb__> good luck
Dec 15 13:42:09 <gvo> Need it. :)
Dec 15 14:08:00 <vvu> salaet: you can activate g_mass_storage to expose the eMMC to your host PC and dd it
Dec 15 14:08:25 <vvu> check if you have g_mass_storage active in the kernel
Dec 15 14:08:27 <vvu> if so https://github.com/ungureanuvladvictor/BBBlfs/blob/master/tools/init#L6
Dec 15 14:09:34 <salaet> vvu:thanks
Dec 15 14:09:44 <salaet> I m go to see
Dec 15 14:10:13 <vvu> it should be in the default kernel from the debian image on bb.org *think so*
Dec 15 14:10:21 <vvu> if not recompile the kernel and include the module

Dec 15 17:18:07 <Turfgnome> I am haveing problems updating a beagle bone black does anyone know where I can find a video or something on it
Dec 15 17:24:54 <Turfgnome> anyone here?
Dec 15 17:55:44 <agmlego> Turfgnome: What problems are you having?
Dec 15 17:56:33 <agmlego> Turfgnome: An accurate, complete but concise description of the problem and the steps you have tried to remedy it go a very long way to getting volunteers interested in helping you fix it.
Dec 15 17:57:05 <agmlego> Turfgnome: And what i just said is a brief summary of the primary source for the very first link in the channel topic, but I assume you read that already.
Dec 15 19:17:55 <Tick> Do you know if I can use a 9V/2A power adapter with the BBB ?
Dec 15 19:18:21 <agmlego> Yes, I know that no, you cannot.
Dec 15 19:18:34 <agmlego> If you use 9V to run your bone, it will die, and maybe catch fire.
Dec 15 19:19:08 <Tick> Ok thank ! 5V p.a it's hard to find :(
Dec 15 19:22:43 <agmlego> Not really.
Dec 15 19:22:56 <agmlego> Basically anywhere that sells the bone sells adapters suitabke to power it.
Dec 15 19:53:13 <ZEROF> Hi, did somebody try to build FM Transmitter with BBB?
Dec 15 19:53:32 <ZEROF> I can't find any post/paper around
Dec 15 19:57:27 <agmlego> I know a guy who is successfully drowning out WWVB with his, using a PRU program.
Dec 15 20:20:13 <donaldshimoda> hi

Dec 15 20:40:27 <donaldshimoda_ma> hi
Dec 15 20:40:48 <Peanut> hi donaldshimoda
Dec 15 20:40:51 <donaldshimoda_ma> somebody use a usb to via cable with beagle bone black?
Dec 15 20:41:05 <donaldshimoda_ma> i mean usb to VGA
Dec 15 20:41:19 <Peanut> Not me
Dec 15 20:41:41 <donaldshimoda_ma> ok
Dec 15 20:41:53 <thurgood_> I suppose it should work if you have drivers for it
Dec 15 20:42:09 <donaldshimoda_ma> i need to disable hdmi to work with 4 part ports
Dec 15 20:42:10 <thurgood_> though bandwidth may be a killer
Dec 15 20:42:26 <donaldshimoda_ma> i know, i just need to run xserver
Dec 15 21:07:48 <Tick> A Power adapter with 1.2A is enough for a usb hub + a Wifi Dongle ?
Dec 15 21:08:23 <agmlego> Might be a little light, depending on how much processor you are using on the bone.
Dec 15 21:08:24 <woglinde> hm
Dec 15 21:08:46 <agmlego> YOu probably want to actually follow the recommendations for >=2A, Tick.
Dec 15 21:09:11 <Tick> 2A p.a are expensive :/
Dec 15 21:12:46 <Tick> Ok I found one thx :p
Dec 15 21:30:26 <agmlego> Tick: https://www.adafruit.com/products/276 is only $8...
Dec 15 21:31:18 <Tick> Yes but with customs ...
Dec 15 21:32:01 <Tick> But then there is little risk for $ 10

Dec 15 23:08:57 <John___> Hello
Dec 15 23:09:14 <John___> I have a question regarding uBoot that I can't seem to figure out
Dec 15 23:10:02 <John___> When you plug the BeagleBone into a Windows PC via USB, it mounts a drive
Dec 15 23:10:06 <John___> how can I disable that?
Dec 15 23:16:40 <Peanut> Not sure that's due to uboot, isn't that the gadget driver?
Dec 15 23:17:32 <Peanut> systemctl mask storage-gadget-init.service
Dec 15 23:19:24 <Peanut> Hi again John, did you get my reply?
Dec 15 23:20:25 <john___> Hi Peanut, yes. Thank you ->systemctl mask storage-gadget-init.service
Dec 15 23:20:29 <john___> I'll look into it
Dec 15 23:20:38 <john___> I assumed it was uBoot because that is the folder that shows up
Dec 15 23:21:07 <john___> A more ideal situation would be that instead of the uBoot folder being mounted, that I could mount a different folder
Dec 15 23:21:28 <john___> but I've had a heck of a time find info on that specific thing
Dec 15 23:21:30 <Peanut> john___: that's just the name of the partition or something, mine shows up as 'Beaglebone'
Dec 15 23:21:43 <john___> Would you have some ideas off the top of your head how I could do that?
Dec 15 23:21:58 <john___> If I can't change the folder, then disabling it completely would be the next best thing
Dec 15 23:22:03 <Peanut> Normaly you would 'systemctl disable' that, but it might not always want to listen to that, hence the 'mask'.
Dec 15 23:22:34 <john___> I think I understand what you are saying.
Dec 15 23:22:54 <john___> What I'm seeing on mine is that the uBoot folder itself is being mounted in the PC
Dec 15 23:23:07 <john___> and since I'm building a device for work
Dec 15 23:23:19 <john___> if a client had access to that and changed the u
Dec 15 23:23:24 <john___> uEnv txt file
Dec 15 23:23:25 <john___> *
Dec 15 23:23:31 <john___> they could brick it
Dec 15 23:23:47 <john___> So I want to make it less easy for people to mess it up
Dec 15 23:23:54 <john___> so,
Dec 15 23:24:09 <john___> are you saying that it is just mounted, much like an SD card is?
Dec 15 23:24:48 <Peanut> No, it's not just mounted, it is *exported* as a storage device over USB, which is what you want to prevent.
Dec 15 23:25:06 <Peanut> You might then also want to prevent the serial port and ethernet port both over USB that it announces?
Dec 15 23:25:52 <john___> Ideally, the user will access the device only through a web interface which I've built, and when they plug in the usb they would see a folder containing data that has been collected
Dec 15 23:25:57 <john___> and nothing else
Dec 15 23:26:07 <john___> SSH would still be enabled, but user accounts password protected

Dec 16 00:03:20 <john___> Thank you Peanut, it's taking me some time to read through this
Dec 16 00:14:53 <j0rd> \/b 6
Dec 16 00:59:26 <Tick> Can I only use my Beaglebone with a micro SD ? Performance is still good ? Because I'm a little tight avec 2GB :(
Dec 16 01:02:30 <tb__> Tick, what are you asking?
Dec 16 01:04:15 <Tick> Does the performance with a sd card is good enough for everyday use instead of the internal memory ?
Dec 16 01:04:42 <tb__> depends on the card of course
Dec 16 01:04:59 <tb__> get class 10 or better (like UHS), then it's pretty good
Dec 16 01:05:27 <tb__> and of course much of the kernel is executing in RAM anyway--so it's really only data read/writes you need to worry about
Dec 16 01:07:26 <tb__> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital
Dec 16 01:07:33 <Tick> It then operates as a normal system? Or there are limitations (eg it does not save files etc ...) ?
Dec 16 01:07:51 <Tick> Basically do is like the raspberry ?
Dec 16 01:07:52 <j0rd> the former
Dec 16 01:08:02 <tb__> well, it would all be part of the same files system either way--you just don't need to mount the card
Dec 16 01:08:16 <tb__> it's all ON the card, so it's being mounted at boot
Dec 16 01:08:28 <tb__> the OS runs...and the storage is on the same card
Dec 16 01:09:31 <Tick> ok thx !
Dec 16 01:09:40 <tb__> ok
Dec 16 01:09:43 <tb__> yw'
Dec 16 01:10:24 <j0rd> eventually i'll stick /home on SD and boot off eMMC
Dec 16 01:11:14 <tb__> can you change that mount point on the BBB distros?
Dec 16 01:12:01 <tb__> i suppose you could edit fstab to mount /home to the card
Dec 16 01:12:08 <tb__> never tried it, lol
Dec 16 01:13:12 <j0rd> i usually have /home on its own partition / drive
Dec 16 01:13:42 <tb__> makes sense--makes it pretty easy to back it up to
Dec 16 01:13:54 <tb__> s/to/as well
Dec 16 01:14:07 <j0rd> yup
Dec 16 01:14:22 <j0rd> boxes all bak to a server
Dec 16 01:14:29 <tb__> here too
Dec 16 01:14:41 <tb__> RAID1 array via mdadm
Dec 16 01:15:42 <j0rd> i stuffed an adaptecraid card into my serv that i got for a steal on ebay
Dec 16 01:15:45 <j0rd> does the job
Dec 16 01:16:12 <tb__> oooo...h/w raid
Dec 16 01:16:24 <tb__> i do the el-cheapo way
Dec 16 01:16:28 <j0rd> its great until your controller fails
Dec 16 01:16:32 <tb__> ya.
Dec 16 01:16:45 <j0rd> card was $50 w/ cables, no one bid on it so i grabbed it
