**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 18 03:00:00 2015 Feb 18 03:36:37 rcn-ee: phew! gotta hate those damn non-comliant card readers that don't work Feb 18 03:53:47 well, I was hoping that would come with g_dbgp Feb 18 03:53:53 :( Feb 18 04:15:57 <_Pink> hey all Feb 18 04:17:16 <_Pink> trying to solve this issue. I'm using qemu linaro 1.7.0 on ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I grabbed the beaglexm BSP from the QNX site as well as their MLO and u-boot files. I am getting it to boot, but it craps out with this error Feb 18 04:17:19 <_Pink> Welcome to QNX Neutrino 6.5.0 SP1 on the Texas Instruments OMAP3730 (ARMv7 Cortex-A8 core) - Beagle Board xM Called Resource Seed, original file startup-boards-omap3730-beagle.build Starting serial driver... starting I2C driver... Configure power management chip qemu: hardware error: twl4030_49_write: unknown register 0x4a Feb 18 04:18:12 <_Pink> my qemu command line is Feb 18 04:18:13 <_Pink> sudo qemu-system-arm -M beaglexm -m 256 -sd /dev/sdb -serial stdio -usb Feb 18 04:18:28 <_Pink> any ideas? Feb 18 04:46:57 aah, there we go... /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone69/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_dbgp.ko Feb 18 04:47:23 Phew, that was some well hidden module (read: the user looking for it was an idiot) Feb 18 05:48:08 rcn-ee: thanks a lot for the help! I finally got this BBB to do what I want it to :) Feb 18 08:24:57 I'm a new owner of a beagleboard black, am trying to give it internet access through usb, is this the right way to go, or must i acquire an ethernet cable? Feb 18 08:25:51 usb takes more work, usually Feb 18 08:26:09 ethernet cables are cheap and abundant Feb 18 08:27:09 more work? You only need to configure your PC as router Feb 18 08:27:20 tbr, yes, except I don't think we have any Feb 18 08:27:25 and I'm using a Mac Feb 18 08:28:29 Humpelstilzchen: as opposed to plugging a ethernet cable into a switch and being done, yes that's more work and MUCH more error prone. Feb 18 08:28:45 at least when I look at the average users that come in here... Feb 18 08:30:26 would I need a crossover cable or is a straight through going to work as well? Feb 18 08:31:09 modern switches don't care for the cable Feb 18 08:31:49 I'm aware of this, but does the beagleboard itself? Feb 18 08:31:53 and gig-ethernet has automdx built in Feb 18 08:32:02 no, the BBB doesn't automdx Feb 18 08:32:45 that would only be relevant if you want to attach it to something else than a switch that has an old style 100M port though. Feb 18 08:35:31 is the BBB able to accept "capes" from the original BB? Feb 18 08:35:45 the wiki has a compatibility list Feb 18 08:36:03 Humpelstilzchen: thanks Feb 18 08:36:55 * hd1 is still trying to determine what to do with this Feb 18 08:37:09 hd1: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Capes Feb 18 08:37:48 Humpelstilzchen: aye Feb 18 08:49:39 can I possibly either turn down the brightness of the LEDs or turn them off? Feb 18 08:49:46 entirely Feb 18 08:50:19 preferred to turn down the brightness, of course, but barring that, it may get annoying enough that I'll need to turn them off Feb 18 08:52:41 you can turn the 4 leds off Feb 18 08:53:19 but you need console access for that Feb 18 08:54:03 you should have 4 folders under /sys/class/leds, one for each Feb 18 09:03:58 hmm...... Feb 18 09:25:41 hi all Feb 18 09:25:58 I'm new to this Feb 18 09:27:06 I have a basic question : is it possible to boot uImage from MLO by skipping u-boot ? Feb 18 09:27:49 Please suggest any document i need to go through Feb 18 09:32:50 Thitu hm read the source-code of MLO which is now uboot-spl Feb 18 09:43:39 hi. i intend to use ieee 802.15.4 on BBB (using rpi today). there's at least on critical patch that i need (http://goo.gl/THLw6S) which does not apply to kernel 3.14, but is available in 3.16 and later. Feb 18 09:44:23 i use yocto (meta-ti) which, if i understand it correctly, use the official kernel fork for beaglebone, and that fork does not support any kernels later than 3.14, right? Feb 18 09:45:40 so what are my options? should i try to backport that patch (and possibly a lot of others) or would it be easier to get a later, non-official kernel working on bbb? Feb 18 09:48:53 ionte hm why not try 3.19 first Feb 18 09:49:41 and if that is not stable enough, consider backporting Feb 18 10:07:38 woglinde: thanks, i see that bbb does run well with mainline kernel, so i'll try that Feb 18 10:52:31 uhm.. Feb 18 10:59:11 ionte are you needing the musb? Feb 18 11:00:59 woglinde: don't think so, why? Feb 18 11:01:23 because it is the most instable component of the bbb Feb 18 11:01:52 incase you want long uptime and wifi or gsm support Feb 18 11:03:38 I Will need wi-fi later, but not right now Feb 18 11:04:05 okay Feb 18 11:04:09 I have you warned Feb 18 11:04:10 ;) Feb 18 11:44:57 Hi, anyone with experience enabling SPIDEV on SPI1 using linux-yocto-3.14 ? I tried modifying the device-tree but kernel stops at boot, and no output. Ideas or hints? Feb 18 11:45:19 (beagle bone black. Feb 18 13:33:04 Is it possible to "give" the emmc more space with an external sd card? So far I can only find guids to expand the system volume if Debian is booted from the sd card (not emmc) Feb 18 13:37:53 you can mount a uSD card, but you probably can't extend the rootfs directly Feb 18 13:41:17 hmm that's what I thought Feb 18 13:41:19 that's too bad Feb 18 13:42:34 how so? Feb 18 13:43:18 well I'm running out of space with my BBB. I have the 2gb version; and it's already filled with just Debian Wheezy Feb 18 13:43:19 i see no reason why rootfs needs to be big, you can always relocate e.g. /usr to another partition Feb 18 13:45:43 and what programs from wheezy you need to fill up 2 gigs? Feb 18 13:45:58 did you installed the whole desktop packages? Feb 18 13:46:38 apt-get clean :) Feb 18 13:47:13 I think so. I'm trying to get my Chipsee LCD to work with it. So after flashing the eMMC with the latest Debian version I tried to update the kernel to 3.14.33 (from the top of my head) and afterwards it was filled Feb 18 13:50:04 if its pulled all the headers, it will ... Feb 18 13:50:08 hi all Feb 18 13:50:43 usually you do all that off-chip Feb 18 13:52:56 Did anyone tried and succeed compiling BBB kernel on mac using Robert's git ? Feb 18 13:54:24 Catslab .. you could try a vm? Feb 18 13:55:37 veremit I got a debian VM, but was looking to have all under osx :) Got Qt5 and pruss toolchain already up and working, so was wondering if there was a way ... Feb 18 13:55:46 I tried but got ld error Feb 18 13:55:59 mm ok .. probably is .. gotta get your toolchain set up and environment Feb 18 13:57:45 toolchain is ok, I just launched Robert's script this morning and face a trouble with kernel's git, but was easy to fix, and now got to check whats going on with ld Feb 18 13:58:04 is it pulling the arm ld? Feb 18 13:58:59 looks like yes Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 Feb 18 13:59:38 looks like RN has escaped lol Feb 18 14:00:12 ahah yes he might have remebered me :) Feb 18 14:02:28 I just started to work again on the BBB, and I tried to compile a 3.15.10 kernel on debian, but looks like the 4D systems LCD cape ain't working. Feb 18 14:02:53 Is there something to do apart from enabling it in the am335x-boneblack.dts ? Feb 18 14:03:38 I think it does from what little I know .. there should be instructions Feb 18 14:04:24 catslab hm kernel compiling should be the easiest task for a cross-toolchain Feb 18 14:04:30 only c compiler needed Feb 18 14:04:31 no libc Feb 18 14:06:12 veremit: I think I'm going to do the old way and apply the patches I made a few monthes ago :) Then I'll try to understand Feb 18 14:08:40 woglinde: yes but I have to figure out what's going on. Feb 18 14:19:09 hmm I managed to install the linux kernel 3.14.33 (I can see the files), but uname -r still gives 3.8.13-bone50 Feb 18 14:19:46 reboot :) Feb 18 14:21:02 did that before checking ;), I'll try to reboot a second time Feb 18 14:21:33 did you installed it on emmc or sdcard ? Feb 18 14:22:08 emmc Feb 18 14:22:52 so no need to press the button, but need to modifiy uEnv Feb 18 14:25:51 I am very new to BBB.. I need to do a project based on BBB Feb 18 14:25:57 Please help Feb 18 14:27:36 I need to access BBB through a web interface from a remote machine and I will enter some details. That details have to be displayed as emergency message in Display throgh the HDMI in BBB Feb 18 14:27:52 how should i start Feb 18 14:28:08 school project? Feb 18 14:28:22 mini project in college Feb 18 14:28:34 I wish I had given homework that homework.. Feb 18 14:28:45 how small is mini? Feb 18 14:28:49 afternoon? Feb 18 14:29:01 didnt get u Feb 18 14:29:28 arun_: ok, let me ask this way: why should we do your homework? Feb 18 14:30:21 actually i have no idea how to proceed Feb 18 14:30:30 i am new to BBB Feb 18 14:30:33 why did you pick that project then? Feb 18 14:30:52 i have been assigned Feb 18 14:30:56 i didnt pick it Feb 18 14:31:20 pls tell me how to proceed Feb 18 14:31:40 i ll google and get some idea Feb 18 14:31:44 arun_: are you able to program in qt or wx ? Feb 18 14:31:46 do that Feb 18 14:31:50 learn how webservers work, read up about cgi ... this is surely not at all BBB specific Feb 18 14:32:10 qt? Feb 18 14:32:13 or wx? Feb 18 14:32:18 can u expand Feb 18 14:32:51 arun_: if you want to display a message on HDMI, you should have a program that's hooked up to your display Feb 18 14:33:25 Catslab: what do I need to change in the uEnv? In the uEnv I can already see the line "##WIP: v3.14+ capes.." so I think it's already partly changed Feb 18 14:33:57 I'm sorry for asking so much, I've been using the BBB for about 4 months now and still feel like a beginner Feb 18 14:34:29 Auke: uname_r=3.1xxxx Feb 18 14:35:25 i just wanted to kno how to save files in BBB through webserver Feb 18 14:35:33 arun_: you could have a small software that reads the content of a file and displays it big on HDMI, and a page on the webserver that writes to this file Feb 18 14:35:52 arun_, like you do it on any other machine that runs a webserver ... learn how webservers work Feb 18 14:36:01 arun_: cgi, php as you like Feb 18 14:36:45 cgi reminds me good ol days :) Feb 18 14:36:47 where exactly i should write the code Feb 18 14:36:49 :) Feb 18 14:37:03 whereever your webserver can read it from Feb 18 14:37:31 also how should i open an image in BBB from terminal mode Feb 18 14:38:02 i thouoght ou want a webserver to serve your stuff ... Feb 18 14:38:43 so just run a framebuffer Xorg setup and a browser fullscreen that points to your local webserver ... add some refresh code to your html page and be done Feb 18 14:40:25 hi ogra_ Feb 18 14:41:28 let me tell u in short Feb 18 14:41:28 its kind of a notice board project Feb 18 14:41:28 from remote some messages will be transmitted (text, image) Feb 18 14:41:53 BBB should display it in the HDMI port when requested Feb 18 14:41:55 yes, i understood what you want to achieve ... Feb 18 14:42:02 arun_: the thing is, 95% of your task is not BBB related Feb 18 14:42:15 it can be done on any PC (running linux) Feb 18 14:42:22 as i said,m your first step needs to be to understand the function of a webserver and how to get your text injected Feb 18 14:42:33 okay.. Feb 18 14:43:10 i have created a webpage hich accepts text and image Feb 18 14:43:18 once you have that running you can start thinking about displaying it on HDMI Feb 18 14:43:27 Catslab: there is no uname_r = yet in my uenv, do I just have to put it in there? Feb 18 14:43:53 but i dont know where this webpage has to copied in BBB to get it accessed Feb 18 14:44:03 Auke, it's under /boot/uEnv.txt Feb 18 14:44:37 if your looking at /uEnv.txt that's just an old bootloader compabitily shim.. Feb 18 14:46:09 which place this file has to be copied Feb 18 14:46:41 arun_, /var/www/ or /var/www/html/ Feb 18 14:46:57 i tried pasting it there Feb 18 14:47:10 but how do i access from remote Feb 18 14:47:14 rcn-ee, hey ... you dont happen to have found a workaround for http://bugs.elinux.org/issues/129 yet, do you ? Feb 18 14:47:25 I mean hich url has to be given Feb 18 14:47:34 * ogra_ is just hitting the same issue trying to rull a snappy package Feb 18 14:47:37 rcn-ee: there is no uEnv.txt in /boot/; but there is one at /boot/uboot; Feb 18 14:47:48 Is that the one I need to add it in? Feb 18 14:48:02 Auke, cat /etc/dogtag? Feb 18 14:49:41 ogra_, i don't normally test qemu anymore, is it still failing? I mostly run that script on quad a9/a15's. ;) Feb 18 14:50:05 can u give the url to be used to access var/www/ files Feb 18 14:50:10 rcn-ee: I've still got the 2014-05-14 image :( when I try to flash jessie or the newest debian snapshot my leds pretend to be kitt :( Feb 18 14:50:37 rcn-ee, well, i need to build a multi arch snap that runs on different arches ... so it needs to ship all the binaries ... for which i use qemu chroots Feb 18 14:50:38 Auke, the cylon flashig means, it's flashing... Feb 18 14:50:55 Auke, should takes less then 15mins... Feb 18 14:51:19 i would have used the npm deb from the archive but that has a horrid amount of deps i realyl dont want t ship in the snap Feb 18 14:51:36 * ogra_ goes back to the drawing board Feb 18 14:51:54 rcn-ee: I left it running for more than 40 minutes and it was still doing the same thing, that's why I thought I was doing something wrong with the flashing Feb 18 14:51:54 ogra_, npm is a pain in the butt, even in an armhf chroot, i had to tweak it's .config runtime to work... Feb 18 14:52:01 yeah Feb 18 14:52:12 there must be a way to install modules without npm Feb 18 14:52:36 especially if they are just non-native javascript code Feb 18 14:52:56 * ogra_ goes to find out then ... probably easier than winding up about npm Feb 18 14:53:05 Auke, it should show the status on both the hdmi and serial, did anything show up? Feb 18 14:54:22 I'll try to flash it now again and see if something turns up. How can I check it over the serial? Just plug in the usb cable? Feb 18 14:55:33 So the flashing progress will be shown on either the 6 pin serial debug port (usb-ftdi cable) or over the hdmi cable to your display. Feb 18 14:56:29 the cylon pattern, indicates it's gone into it's flashing routine, once flashed, it should shutdown on it's own... Feb 18 14:57:27 Still not luck with the 4dsystem display ;( Feb 18 14:57:50 Catslab, which one? i got those working on v3.14.x Feb 18 14:58:01 7" touch Feb 18 14:58:25 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Capes_3.8_to_3.14#4dcape-70t with v3.14.x Feb 18 14:58:26 I might do something wrong , just enabled it in am335x-boneblack.dts Feb 18 14:59:06 test with: dtb=am335x-boneblack-4dcape-70t.dtb it should work out of the box with v3.14.x. Feb 18 14:59:18 I'm on 3.15 Feb 18 15:00:33 sorry, i'm only focusing on 3.8/3.14.x(ti) and mainline... Feb 18 15:00:54 yep I know Feb 18 15:01:17 thats enough work! Feb 18 15:01:36 can you easily enable pruss on 3.14 and define pins ? Feb 18 15:02:24 sorry, still haven't touched pruss.... but we have charles config-pin builtin to v3.14.x Feb 18 15:03:06 ok, might check that Feb 18 15:03:25 I had a 3.15 working and instead of rebuilding a kernel I did a build.... Feb 18 15:03:35 not enough sleep I guess Feb 18 15:03:47 I must figure PRUs .. find an application :) Feb 18 15:03:48 so lost all the patches I made Feb 18 15:04:24 veremit: there are a few around Feb 18 15:04:37 Catslab thats what git is for Feb 18 15:05:07 +1 Feb 18 15:05:12 commiting all dirty stuff Feb 18 15:05:13 woglinde: yes, but I had a connection trouble between what's left as brain and fingers ;) Feb 18 15:05:15 must get used to git also :D Feb 18 15:05:19 and aftwerwards clean it up Feb 18 15:06:11 but yeah sometimes its not easy to commit often enough Feb 18 15:06:44 I started a project a few monthes ago, had to put it on side and now I'm back on it, I messed it, well partly and I still have some patches around, just trying to get the LCD working Feb 18 15:07:57 Catslab, "dts/dtb" are suppost to be firmware, so even thou it's 3.14.x start with my dts here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/dtb-rebuilder/tree/3.14-ti Feb 18 15:08:14 it should mostly work with 3.15.. Feb 18 15:08:21 rcn-ee: thanks Feb 18 15:08:59 the m3 pm stuff won't work, even thou its' in the dts, as that might finally hit v3.20... Feb 18 15:13:16 going to looks like an idiot, but on 3.1x should I just uncomment the includes I need in the am335x-boneblack.dts to enable the capes ? Feb 18 15:14:22 yeah, should work.. Feb 18 15:15:31 I like the "should" :) Feb 18 15:18:34 it's how i create the -.dtb i've mostly documented what you need to enable/disable inside the dts... but. ;) should Feb 18 15:35:46 will give it a try :) Feb 18 15:41:41 rcn-ee: btw, I tried to compile on osx, but failed this morning, I got to investigate that Feb 18 15:44:31 rcn-ee: I tried it again, and this time it worked! but after rebooting after doing apt-get install linux-image-3.14... I can't ssh to my BBB anymore :/ Feb 18 15:45:52 Auke: a FTDI serial cable is really helpfull Feb 18 16:11:00 Catslab do not need to bei ftdi Feb 18 16:11:06 but should have 3,3 V Feb 18 16:24:54 woglinde: yes sure, was juste referencing ftdi because it's a major supplier Feb 18 16:53:58 panto: ping Feb 18 19:22:21 i just installed debian and now i would like to set up a nginx webserver to host some html files Feb 18 19:24:45 apt-cache search nginx Feb 18 19:24:55 and apt-get install nginx if the package exists Feb 18 19:25:34 but it is already running something on port80 Feb 18 19:25:48 netstat -tunlp says systemd is using port 80 Feb 18 19:26:23 my BBB is off so can't check Feb 18 19:27:02 yes the beagle has a web server installed by default .. maybe netstat will help? Feb 18 19:27:15 veremit: netstat -tunlp says systemd is using port 80 Feb 18 19:27:23 check here: http://www.element14.com/community/community/designcenter/single-board-computers/next-gen_beaglebone/blog/2013/11/20/beaglebone-web-server--setup Feb 18 19:27:31 hrm its hiding something then .. its not systemd ;) Feb 18 19:27:32 I'm not sure but think node.js is running on that port Feb 18 19:27:42 yes it's node.js Feb 18 19:27:56 ah, hmm Feb 18 19:28:07 not sure which packages i can remove without screwing something up Feb 18 19:28:25 talin_: no need to remove, just disable Feb 18 19:28:52 something like systemctl disable cloud9.service Feb 18 19:30:02 or just raise your beagle, and put a bare debian fs on it ;) Feb 18 19:30:12 just install what you need/want :) Feb 18 19:30:53 yep, Robert wrote a nice tutorial among others ;) Feb 18 19:31:16 indeed Feb 18 20:01:39 hmm, my bbb seems to reboot a lot Feb 18 20:01:56 "shutdown message blahblah. system doing down for reboot now" Feb 18 20:05:48 does anyone know the default password for the xrdp account? Feb 18 20:43:06 finally found out the trouble in 3.15 repo for the 4dsystem lcd cape Feb 18 20:43:18 missing a pinout definition in the pinmux file Feb 18 20:43:46 and inclusion in the panel dts file Feb 18 20:46:27 tada :) Feb 18 20:48:13 yeah :) got to find out how I enabled the pins for the pru :) Feb 18 23:23:29 i'm sorry i got cut off if someone answered < 30sec ago Feb 18 23:24:40 http://retardpi.org/ Feb 18 23:27:20 i kind of think my uEnv.txt lines aren't working since i do see the following: Feb 18 23:27:21 debian@beaglebone:~/tracker-linux$ dmesg | grep hdmi Feb 18 23:27:21 [ 2.319988] slave hdmi: could not get i2c Feb 18 23:27:21 [ 2.324218] platform hdmi: Driver slave requests probe deferral Feb 19 00:04:12 ds2: are you using remoteproc to load your PRU code? Feb 19 00:05:18 Or anyone else familiar with remoteproc with PRU? Feb 19 00:06:57 I've now got an XDS100v2 JTAG device. If I load my PRU code with that, so no Linux remoteproc, then my code runs fine. But when it's loaded with remoteproc under Linux, it crashes fairly easily. Feb 19 00:06:59 I wonder if I need to add something to my PRU code to set up some PRU-ICSS registers when running under remoteproc. Feb 19 00:07:33 It seems to be something to do with data memory writes that cause a crash. Maybe. Feb 19 00:09:52 Hmmm crazy question time I have an older Pico Projector kit and the beagle board never set the LED brightness correctly. Anyway to get the BBB to operate it correctly? I was thinking of a bit of mini theater fun with it. Feb 19 02:55:15 rcn-ee: so, i just tried the .dtb from your dtb-rebuilder for 3.14.x with a 3.16.x kernel from Debian ... and it works enough that X starts, but nothing on the LCD7. Feb 19 02:55:42 i wonder if i'm missing some backlight module or something Feb 19 02:57:34 tilcdc is loaded, and the kms drm seems to recognize it, but no display... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 19 02:59:58 2015
