I think I am trying with Windows as wicd Ubuntu didn't recognize my Jolla either, but Windows did with some driver and I suspect that wicd might be the culprit and if it doesn't work, I have that debugging cable Jan 25 14:36:11 hi all Jan 25 18:02:41 im looking for a slightly more stable solution then beagle with/join #raspberrypi Jan 25 18:02:45 oops Jan 25 18:04:14 so, im looking for a arudino NO OS type solution, but with usb/ethernet. i can't risk OS corruption, ot something with the OS going wrong what i missed for it to not boot correctly. Jan 25 18:04:25 as its a remote installation in a few locations Jan 25 18:24:39 Hello? Jan 25 18:25:11 I need some major help with my beagle black, I have never used such a device Jan 25 18:25:31 can someone kindly help me? Jan 25 18:28:48 what is your major problem? Jan 25 18:30:02 well I have to update and upgrade my board Jan 25 18:30:13 but I got an error after I first tried updating the files Jan 25 18:30:28 all i did ws apt-get update Jan 25 18:30:37 on the root Jan 25 18:30:50 it was working and then it stated would you like to continue press Y/n Jan 25 18:31:04 but when I continued it ended with an error of somesort Jan 25 18:31:12 then I tried upgrading it still Jan 25 18:31:28 still more errors Jan 25 18:31:48 it stats usr/bin/dpkg returned error 1 Jan 25 18:32:00 which version of the board do you have? Jan 25 18:32:09 Circuitco or Element14? Jan 25 18:32:12 errors were encountered while processing: rsyslog etc... Jan 25 18:32:31 how do I check which version I have? Jan 25 18:32:37 oh Jan 25 18:32:40 element14 Jan 25 18:33:06 ok, then I'd strongly recommend to reflash your board with the latest software from beagleboard.org Jan 25 18:33:13 how do I do that? Jan 25 18:33:19 http://beagleboard.org/getting-started#update Jan 25 18:33:33 I have to follow a certain set of intructions according to my professor Jan 25 18:33:48 I had to use an ethernet cable to update and upgrade Jan 25 18:34:08 I dont have an SD card Jan 25 18:34:33 buy one, they are cheap Jan 25 18:34:38 oh and I did apt-get clean Jan 25 18:34:52 so have I messed up my board? will it ever fix? Jan 25 18:35:00 the element14 boards come with a strangely modified version of debian that causes issues Jan 25 18:35:16 all it takes is a reflash Jan 25 18:36:00 okay I guess I have to buy the flash card then Jan 25 18:36:09 I acually may have one. How much memory do I need? Jan 25 18:45:36 tbr: i hadn't heard that, what did they do? (i never even booted into the emmc before reflashing so i wouldn't have noticed) Jan 25 18:47:19 beest: at the very least there are some weird init scripts Jan 25 18:47:46 beest: someone's installation broke with similar errors like that guy's on a dist upgrade to jessie or such Jan 25 18:47:49 that's especially strange considering they don't even host their own images last i checked Jan 25 18:50:07 probably an infection vector for the Ben Heck Trojan Jan 25 18:51:17 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/LPjCn4LEY2I Jan 25 18:52:14 that's downright bizarre. Jan 25 18:53:03 it was probably a benign attempt at something useful Jan 25 19:02:29 but sucks nevertheless Jan 25 19:07:23 hii..i have a beaglebone black and have read the manual and instruction related to it...since there are large no. of projects, so i m not able to decide to which project to contribute with... Jan 25 19:07:40 i have also searched if there is any bug tracker from where i can start..but didn't find it..is there any ?? Jan 25 19:07:52 or any suggestions regarding project.. Jan 25 19:07:52 gsoc? Jan 25 19:08:10 i have experience with arduino and atmega.. Jan 25 19:10:19 tbr: not yet decided.. Jan 25 19:11:02 some other plans for summer..hope so..but who knows..my or may not be.. Jan 25 19:11:17 *may Jan 25 19:12:25 tbr: any suggestions from u ?? Jan 25 19:12:35 no Jan 25 19:14:27 if the beagleboard project decides to participate, then it will show up on the google pages, they usually post some suggestions then too Jan 25 19:18:52 every year they are participating..hope they show up this time also..

My DTO, commands, and errors are here: http://pastebin.com/UqNqwuhe Jan 25 19:20:06 tbr: ido u have any idea if there is bug tracker ?? Jan 25 19:20:28 or kind of something like this ? Jan 25 19:24:32 geekswine: I don't think so Jan 25 19:26:35 geekswine: what kind of projects would you be interested in? Jan 25 19:28:34 mmm..writing some kind of library..like I wrote LCD library for ATMega before.. Jan 25 19:30:33 libraries... id like some better libraries for sensors on BBB, i use grove modules by seeedstudio, they are easy to use, but not a lot of libs Jan 25 19:30:39 ruben-ikmaak:since have only worked with arduino..so don't have much idea that what are the projects like with these mini computers.. Jan 25 19:32:44 Hey, what's the Voltage and Amps that the BeagleBone Black requires? Jan 25 19:32:56 there is a 2 pru (sort of realtime unit for arduino like things) on the BBB, they can even use analog ports, so unlike RPi it can do sensors without arduino hunchbacked Jan 25 19:33:35 i would like to try this out... Jan 25 19:34:09 Aptos: 5V and the recommended current rating is IIRC 2A, but check the SRM Jan 25 19:34:36 Thanks and see yaaa Jan 25 19:34:46 well, i got a bbb with a grove board, which is basically just a rewire cape to pass the pins to nice and easy connectors and sensors to add to those Jan 25 19:35:29 the arduino libs for them are decent, but most dont have libs for bbb Jan 25 19:36:12 but it should be generic. they have some with bbb lib already made for reference. Jan 25 19:36:56 where can I see the reference libs?? Jan 25 19:37:04 disclosure: i'm normally a lurker here, and not much of a programmer (yet) Jan 25 19:37:10 i'm looking Jan 25 19:39:24 haha..its ok..:P Jan 25 19:41:53 cant find it, i know i saw one Jan 25 19:43:17 if u find it..let me know.. Jan 25 19:46:08 hmm, this one offers a menu item for BBB, but does have raspi instructions... Jan 25 19:46:20 not the one i searched for Jan 25 19:46:47 well, bad idea, lol Jan 25 19:46:48 hmm.. Jan 25 19:47:34 http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove_-_Light_Sensor but it works via the embedded arduino on the grovePi Jan 25 19:47:40 grr Jan 25 19:47:54 haha..well lets search for another idea..:P Jan 25 19:49:05 well, this one does it for bbb with a temp-humidity sensor Jan 25 19:49:09 over pru Jan 25 19:50:29 https://github.com/pmfournier/bbb-dht22 Jan 25 19:52:45 this one does analog over pru but still under Angstrom: https://github.com/pgmmpk/beaglebone_pru_adc Jan 25 19:54:23 hope these works will help me in working with PRU's..:P Jan 25 19:56:38 im not on the level, but they sound like the cool stuff :) Jan 25 20:10:30 yeah..they really do..:D Jan 25 20:11:35 I'm still having trouble with DTOs for using a GPIO on the PRU. My DTO, commands, and errors are here: http://pastebin.com/UqNqwuhe Jan 25 21:06:18 I have loaded echo BB-BONE-PRU-01 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots and connected p9.27 to 3.3v, but QBBS CHECK, r31, 5 does not branch. any ideas why? Jan 25 21:06:46 as best I can tell, the BB-BONE-PRU-01 does map p9.27... right? Jan 25 22:04:43 http://elinux.org/Ti_AM33XX_PRUSSv2#Beaglebone_PRU_connections_and_modes suggests that p9_27 is not connectd to the LDC... but all the other resoures I can find say it is LDC sync. Whats going on? Jan 25 22:18:42 you mean p8 surely? Jan 25 22:21:25 ketas, i have no idea what I mean Jan 25 22:22:28 ketas, I have found some sources saying p9_27 is the LCD sync. I'm just trying to get some digital input to the PRU and it looks like the device tree overlay BB-BONE-PRU-01 claims p9_27 so I figured I'd use that Jan 25 22:22:58 lcd is only on p8 Jan 25 22:23:53 ketas, ok, well then i guess i don't know where my problem is Jan 25 22:24:34 I have loaed that dto, and am using the following assembly: TODO:\n QBBS TODO, r31, 5 -- even when p9_27 is attached to GND that doesn't loop infinitely Jan 25 22:25:21 ketas, attached to 3.3 volts has the same behavior Jan 26 00:22:32 I'm having some trouble using GPIO from the PRU. I am using the BB-BONE-PRU-01 which uses p9_27 -- the code TODO:\n QBBS TODO, r31, 5 does not loop infinitely as I expect, whether p9_27 is attached to 3.3v or gnd **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jan 26 02:59:59 2015
