**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 24 02:59:58 2015 Feb 24 13:33:00 hi..i m trying to load bare metal app via u-boot..so while rebooting BBB how will it directly enter to u-boot? Feb 24 13:33:10 help plss !!! Feb 24 13:48:19 while executing this command: setenv bootenv uEnvBareMetal.txt Feb 24 13:48:42 got this error : "-bash: setenv: command not found" Feb 24 13:49:08 searched on net but couldn't get through it :( Feb 24 13:49:29 setenv is an u-boot command Feb 24 13:49:37 not bash command Feb 24 13:49:48 maybee fw_setenv works Feb 24 13:49:54 but I am not sure for bbb Feb 24 13:50:46 ohh..so do u know how can I enter to u-boot on rebooting BBB ?? Feb 24 13:51:14 hm yes Feb 24 13:51:25 connecting a serial console cable? Feb 24 13:51:31 yess.. Feb 24 13:51:39 and than hit some key? Feb 24 13:52:46 yess.. Feb 24 13:53:03 so which key to hit on rebooting ?? Feb 24 13:53:57 or how long and when a key is to be pressed to enter ? Feb 24 13:54:28 3 seconds? Feb 24 13:54:35 just hammer on the return key after pressing the reset button Feb 24 13:54:36 serial console will tell you this Feb 24 14:08:29 i have connected BBB to my ubuntu and logged i am in as root.. Feb 24 14:08:58 and its written that "enter U-Boot by pressing any key repeatedly at startup" Feb 24 14:10:03 so can it be any key ?? as S1 is reset; S2 is for booting options and S3 is for power..so which key to be pressed ? :( Feb 24 14:10:34 any key you press at the *serial* console will stop the boot process Feb 24 14:13:33 ok.. Feb 24 14:18:35 thanx.. Feb 24 14:18:40 ie. connect a serial debug cable, and THEN restart your board Feb 24 14:19:28 you will see the U-boot prompt, and hit any key to stop it auto-booting Feb 24 14:20:12 making sure you set the correct baud rate, and turn flow control Off. Feb 24 14:21:32 where "correct" equals 115200 Feb 24 14:27:04 for now i don't have serial debug cable...so is there any alternative ?? Feb 24 14:27:27 or do I need to boot u-boot from microSD card ?? Feb 24 14:29:35 geekswine: well, without a serial adapter you'll have a hard time debugging. Feb 24 14:30:34 how abt using misroSD card ?? Feb 24 14:30:39 *microSD Feb 24 14:31:29 well. Use it. Not sure how it will help you understanding/debugging u-boot though. Feb 24 14:33:50 for bare metal programming between serial adapter and microSD..which is preferred ?? as i haven't used microSD in BBB.. Feb 24 14:34:19 well, you are programming bare metal. You can freely choose what you prefer. Feb 24 14:34:43 but if you want to interact with u-boot then a serial adapter is of great help. Feb 24 14:35:25 ohhkk...thanx for helping me out...:) Feb 24 14:36:04 geekswine: I am actually not sure if we're talking about the same thing when using the words "bare metal" Feb 24 14:36:40 actually I want to boot starterware.. Feb 24 14:36:50 "bare metal" means: I'll write my own operating system and drivers. Lets ditch the comfort of linux and do everything ourselves. Feb 24 14:37:21 so that TI chip can directly be accessed Feb 24 14:37:33 but when a simple serial port presents such a hurdle I am not sure if this is the right thing for you Feb 24 14:38:28 I have never worked with starterware. No idea. Feb 24 14:39:04 okk..thanx..i will look into this..:) Feb 24 14:47:13 anyone good at pruss instructions ? Feb 24 14:47:28 I'n need some help to optimise some code Feb 24 14:48:36 catslab I am not Feb 24 14:48:42 maybe nomis Feb 24 14:48:56 I shift some data coming from 4 pins to 2 registers ( 2x 16 bits of data ) but I think my routine could be optimized for bit testing Feb 24 14:50:50 nomis: ? Feb 24 14:51:41 woglinde: I'll wait for him to be around :) Feb 24 14:53:01 Catslab: I up to now only had an intense look at the pru code for LEDscape. Not that familiar beyond that. Feb 24 14:53:37 nomis: ok Feb 24 14:55:28 ledscape is using gpio Feb 24 14:55:55 I'm using r30 and r31 registers Feb 24 16:18:24 rcn-ee: the 3.14 kernel compiled fine on osx without raid6... :) Feb 24 16:19:06 that's funny, those raid6 modules just don't like to build on mac's virtual file systemd.. Feb 24 16:19:39 there also was a trouble with apparmor but it's gone... Feb 24 16:19:56 I modified your menuconfig function Feb 24 16:19:56 how are suppost to raid6 5 usb flash drives on a bbb when using mac!!!! ;) Feb 24 16:19:57 if [ `uname -s` == "Darwin" ]; then Feb 24 16:19:57 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="${CC}" nconfig Feb 24 16:19:57 else Feb 24 16:19:57 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="${CC}" menuconfig Feb 24 16:19:57 fi Feb 24 16:20:21 rcn-ee: I was thinking of raiding sd cards :) Feb 24 16:20:31 Catslab, can i get your signed-off, i'll add that change.. Feb 24 16:21:41 rcn-ee: I'll set up a blog post on How-to for osx using your repo Feb 24 16:22:13 I took notes, will redo it from ground to check everything is fine Feb 24 16:22:47 opps, "==" is a bashism.. "=" should still work on mac... Feb 24 16:23:06 will try to setup pruss too this afternoon Feb 24 16:24:11 got to desolder and make a patch the 4dsystem cape :) Feb 24 16:34:15 I was looking at the TRM for AM335x and in the booting section I gathered that the reset vector is located in ROM? Is this correct? Is there any way to remap the reset vector on power ON? Feb 24 16:34:42 *in the booting -> _from_ the booting Feb 24 16:41:33 Hey everybody !! Can anyone tell me how to test a BBB kernel without having a BBB ? Like on a virtual machine or something ? Can you provide me some specific links ? Feb 24 16:43:46 what are you trying to emulate specifically? perhaps qemu would work Feb 24 16:47:36 I am trying to test linux kernel applied with rt patches. But unfortunately my BBB is burnt out. Feb 24 17:17:36 Hi all, anyone with experience writing overlays for touch screens? I just bought 1 waveshare 7" LCD and I'd love to get it working on the debian build on the EMMC flash. Feb 24 17:37:38 Hi, I am having trouble connecting to my beaglebone over USB. I have a Windows/Ubuntu dual boot on my laptop, and it works on Windows but not Ubuntu. Feb 24 17:37:53 Anybody know how to debug this? I did the udev rule installation. Feb 24 18:01:13 @aftrumpet: you find a new Drive in the filemanager? use the links in there. Feb 24 18:01:30 kilroy: Just the /boot partition Feb 24 18:02:10 look inside /media Feb 24 18:02:16 The html file there appears to be the same. Feb 24 18:02:43 Or at least, has the same instructions. Feb 24 18:03:34 Also if it helps, I don't get /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 when I plug in the BBB, just /dev/ttyACM0 Feb 24 18:04:04 no thats not necessary. Feb 24 18:04:20 the beaglebone white had a dedicated ftdi chip: thus /dev/ttyUSB0 & /dev/ttyUSB1... for the Black "dev/ttyACM0" comes from g_serial which is enabled for you.. Feb 24 18:05:29 only connect to the ip of the bone. browser or ssh Feb 24 18:05:50 I can't connect to the BBB's IP though. Feb 24 18:06:14 ifconfig in terminal Feb 24 18:08:01 I don't get anything new that I wouldn't have otherwise on my PC. Feb 24 18:08:26 And for the BBB, usb0 is 192.168.7.2 as expected. Feb 24 18:08:54 you should be getting an eth1: 'sudo ifconfig -a'... Feb 24 18:09:13 ssh root@192.168.7.2 in terminal Feb 24 18:09:41 (as you have /dev/ttyACM0 already... g_multi loads : usb-flash/usb-serial/usb-networking..) Feb 24 18:10:42 ping 192.168.7.2 ? Feb 24 18:11:03 kilroy: I think I got it. I had to add an eth2 route via ifconfig. Feb 24 18:11:24 Before those were both timing out.. Feb 24 18:12:13 ok good luck Feb 24 18:12:32 Thanks for the help, I can ssh and use c9 now. Feb 24 19:36:22 Hi! A Beaglebone newbie here. My goal is to cross compile SW packages for BeagleBone running Angstrom 2012.12 so that I could install .ipk packages which are not readily available through opkg. Yocto (Poky) and BitBake came up a lot when searching the web. But always as a build system for complete Linux distributions. I only need to build a specific package. Is Yocto Project the right way to go or would you recommend an alternative Feb 24 19:37:20 bitbake is the tool that will do things. Feb 24 19:39:31 So if I would like to crosscompile vsftpd for my Beaglebone my best bet is to download bitbake, find a recepie for vsftpd and run something along the lines of bitbake vsftpd.bb? Feb 24 19:55:00 Casper why need you ftp? Feb 24 19:55:05 sftp works out of the box Feb 24 20:07:54 which pin is meant if i have &gpio4 in my dts file ? Feb 24 20:34:55 hi all Feb 24 20:35:16 anyone is familiar with spi on BBB ? Feb 24 20:35:20 and interrupts? Feb 24 23:35:50 * Milenko yawns Feb 24 23:36:10 That's better than "atlas shrugged" :D Feb 25 00:25:15 hrm. The google group apparently sends mails in a weird order. weird. Feb 25 01:31:30 I'm trying to do a: root@beaglebone:/opt/scripts/tools# sh ./update_kernel.sh --kernel v3.19.0-rc7-bone2 Feb 25 01:31:46 but when I reboot I'm still on 3.8.13-bone50. What am I doing wrong? Feb 25 01:42:39 Stupid web IRC … **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 25 02:59:58 2015
