Jan 16 08:28:03 <kfir> Hey, I'm new with beaglebone, just got my hands on a board. I'm running ubuntu 12 and i can't seem to find any device related to beagle under /dev
Jan 16 08:28:39 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: like what, for example?
Jan 16 08:29:07 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: I want to connect to the board using putty/minicom etc and see the uboot logs for example
Jan 16 08:29:41 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: For that i need some sort of char device that will allow me to connect to the beagle..
Jan 16 08:29:43 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: now, that is something completely different than /dev, don't you think?
Jan 16 08:30:04 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: to see the serial output of u-boot for example, you need a serial cable
Jan 16 08:30:15 <LetoThe2nd> the classic ftdi 3.3v one
Jan 16 08:31:58 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: I see. so what can I get via the usb connection? At the moment i just plugged my board to the pc, the beagle flashes its leds but i cant see anything. (doesn't seem to connect to my pc via the ethernet or anything for that matter)
Jan 16 08:32:40 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: over usb, you dont get anything low-level
Jan 16 08:33:30 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: so what does dmesg show after powering on the beagle?
Jan 16 08:33:34 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: And is there no way to redirect the uboot logs to one of the other onboard uarts? (i dont have an ftdi cable)
Jan 16 08:34:00 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: the other onboard uarts are 3.3v too, so what would be the use of redirection?
Jan 16 08:34:25 <mrpacket_> hello smart people
Jan 16 08:34:25 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: Sadly i dont have an hdmi adapater yet.. currently i'm blind as to what happens on the board
Jan 16 08:34:32 <mrpacket_> how is everyone doing.
Jan 16 08:34:52 <mrpacket_> is the chocolate king @KotH awake
Jan 16 08:35:13 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: Wiring something and getting a uart connection from the available pins
Jan 16 08:35:38 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: so i repeat: what does dmesg show when your usb-connected beagle boots?
Jan 16 08:35:56 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: on my pc that is?
Jan 16 08:36:36 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: yes
Jan 16 08:42:31 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: Well apparently the beagle is creating a tty device named ttyACM0 by udev and also as a media storage device (/dev/sdX)
Jan 16 08:43:01 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: well then whats the problem. point your favorite terminal software at ttyACM0 and be happy.
Jan 16 08:43:18 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: This tty device should allow me to get a terminal on the board?
Jan 16 08:43:45 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: yes.
Jan 16 08:44:36 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: Where can i see the correct baud rate to use?
Jan 16 08:45:02 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: 115200 is kind of the inofficial standard for u-boot
Jan 16 08:45:31 <LetoThe2nd> 8n1, that is
Jan 16 08:46:08 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: thank you very much for your help. I'll ask once again to make sure, is there no way to get the uboot cli without an ftdi cable?
Jan 16 08:46:52 <mrpacket_> any of you smart people go a suggesion on how to pass a bunch of differential ethernet signals between two pcbs
Jan 16 08:47:01 <mrpacket_> what kind of connector might be good
Jan 16 08:47:08 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: sigh. these are really things that have been documented over and over again on the web, so please read up for yourself a bit.
Jan 16 08:47:52 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: you do not need a *FTDI* cable specifically to connect to the debug uart, but something that shifts the 3.3v level to whatever uart your host has.
Jan 16 08:48:33 <LetoThe2nd> kfir: and the usb-to-3.3v-uart-all-in-one-cable is the most convenient thing to do that, thats why its recommended.
Jan 16 08:48:33 <kfir> LetoThe2nd: I'm currently googling without any luck :(
Jan 16 12:38:49 <jcm> hi everyone
Jan 16 12:39:07 <jcm> i have a rapid problem with my beaglebone reva6a
Jan 16 12:39:29 <jcm> i am trying connect to the board with usb and using just the getting started page
Jan 16 12:39:42 <jcm> but it is not connecting

Jan 16 12:41:04 <Guest68332> Morning!
Jan 16 12:42:04 <Mikaela> I have the same issue and I was suggested to get what-was-that-cable-called and now I have it at home ,but hven't had time tot try it yet
Jan 16 12:42:56 <Mikaela>  FTDI 3.3V serial-to-usb cable/adapter
Jan 16 12:43:33 <Mikaela> also which OS are you using and if Linux, which distribution and network manager? I used Ubuntu 14.10 and wicd.
Jan 16 12:43:51 <jcm> me? i tryed both win8 and ubuntu
Jan 16 12:44:07 <Mikaela> I see
Jan 16 12:46:02 <jcm> now i connected by a miracle but i cannot use gate one ssh
Jan 16 12:59:42 <tbr> jcm: use a proper ssh client
Jan 16 13:02:18 <jcm> which ssh client
Jan 16 13:02:39 <jcm> and i cannot use ethernet with beagle now
Jan 16 13:03:14 <jcm> cuz i got just one ethernet connection with net
Jan 16 13:04:12 <jcm__> hello everyone
Jan 16 13:04:42 <jcm__> i have problems with connecting and running sample codes
Jan 16 13:05:17 <jcm__> my beagle properly connects ver rarely and when it is connected i cant use cloud9 or gateoneSSH
Jan 16 15:39:02 <kiran4399> Hey anybody there ??
Jan 16 15:39:22 <agmlego|skynet> Maybe.
Jan 16 15:39:27 <agmlego|skynet> Did you read the topic?
Jan 16 15:39:54 <kiran4399> Oops I am sorry.. May I know what the topic is ??
Jan 16 15:40:29 <agmlego|skynet> Sure. Type "/topic" and hit the Enter key.
Jan 16 15:40:41 <agmlego|skynet> Or look at the topic field in your client.
Jan 16 15:41:38 <kiran4399> Insufficient arguments for command !!! :-(
Jan 16 15:43:24 <agmlego|skynet> That is unfortunate. Looks like qwebirc does not support common IRC macros.
Jan 16 15:43:31 <agmlego|skynet> Maybe get a better client.

Jan 16 16:37:05 <Mikaela> hi?
Jan 16 16:38:14 <caiomarcos> hello?
Jan 16 18:14:14 <knob> hello Mikaela caiomarcos
Jan 16 18:14:34 <Mikaela> hi
Jan 16 18:14:53 <knob> o/
Jan 16 18:14:56 <knob> How's it going over there?
Jan 16 18:18:34 <Mikaela> some level of depression and there?
Jan 16 18:18:59 <knob> Doing good... just came back into the office from a ride in the bike.
Jan 16 18:19:15 <knob> How come depression?   Smile man... =)
Jan 16 18:19:23 <knob> The best thing God created was one day after another.
Jan 16 18:19:27 <knob> or something along those lines
Jan 16 18:19:35 <Mikaela> I am not man
Jan 16 18:19:54 <knob> Oh... sorry about that.   Smile friend =)
Jan 16 21:34:40 <veremit> rcn-ee .. been looking at your Allwinner pages .. but I have an A13 board, not an A10/20 .. is much of it transferrable from the A10 stuff? looks like just a packaging difference. . but thought I'd ask a second opinion! :)
Jan 16 21:35:52 <rcn-ee> veremit, today, with mainline u-boot, it's pretty similar for all boards...  on the A20 page, the only diff for 3 boards is what u-boot config to build..
Jan 16 21:35:53 <veremit> yes, its also an Olimex board ... the one with the Wifi
Jan 16 21:36:45 <veremit> I'd like to put a minimal debian on it, as I have with the wand-dual for similar purposes :)
Jan 16 21:36:59 <Steve___> hi, new to beaglebone
Jan 16 21:37:10 <veremit> I have to confess, although I've loaded the Olimex dev pages .. I haven't read them lol
Jan 16 21:37:30 <Guest19088> just fired up the cloud 9, can't seem to get it to run any code.
Jan 16 21:37:34 <veremit> try another nick steve, new-to-beagle
Jan 16 21:37:35 <rcn-ee> veremit, should be "A13-OLinuXino_defconfig"...
Jan 16 21:37:50 <veremit> on your site or theirs!? :)
Jan 16 21:38:08 <veremit> I think they're on an older 3.x kernel iirc
Jan 16 21:38:32 <rcn-ee> veremit,  with u-boot: v2015.01 and it'll select the correct v3.19-rc4 *.dtb..
Jan 16 21:38:56 <veremit> but if I can port the uboot and kernel config's. .. should be laughing .. yea?
Jan 16 21:41:39 <Steve-new-to-beg> logging back in with new nickname
Jan 16 21:42:00 <Steve-new-to-beg> was looking for help to understandy why the demo code I put into cloud 9 ide doesn't run.
Jan 16 21:42:14 <Steve-new-to-beg> I have cloud9 running, and I load blinkled.js for example.
Jan 16 21:42:20 <veremit> I'll dig out the build system or re-clone and have a go .. got some new wands on their way :)
Jan 16 21:42:34 <Steve-new-to-beg> click run. I see the debugger look like its run, then stop.
Jan 16 21:42:40 <Steve-new-to-beg> but nothing happens to led.
Jan 16 21:42:58 <Steve-new-to-beg> i I click on the toggle led in the beagle bonescript pages, it works.
Jan 16 21:43:14 <Steve-new-to-beg> any ideas?
Jan 16 21:43:16 <rcn-ee> did you click run again?
Jan 16 21:43:29 <rcn-ee> usually it's in debug mode, waiting for you..
Jan 16 21:43:57 <Steve-new-to-beg> yes
Jan 16 21:44:09 <Steve-new-to-beg> it does say debugging listening on port 15454
Jan 16 21:57:44 <veremit> is it single-stepping? not that I've ever seen this funky cloud stuff
