**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 02 02:59:58 2015 Mar 02 06:57:18 now i'm in development process with panther board (DM3730), and i'm using ti-sdk for beagle board to customize linux. but it's not operate successfully Mar 02 06:57:48 <_av500_> if you are using the TI SDK, you should ask TI Mar 02 06:57:49 are there any one who can help me to resolve :( Mar 02 06:57:53 <_av500_> yes, TI Mar 02 06:57:54 plz :( Mar 02 06:58:05 <_av500_> well, the DM3730 is a few years old Mar 02 06:58:14 <_av500_> what do you expect? Mar 02 06:58:27 <_av500_> also, you dint ask a proper question at all Mar 02 06:59:02 i want to customize th uboot and kernel of beagle board for pantherboard Mar 02 06:59:28 but i don't know, how to start :( Mar 02 06:59:57 <_av500_> why? Mar 02 07:00:07 <_av500_> why not use the ready made kernel of the TI SDK? Mar 02 07:01:26 yes, i did it. but there are some problem. Mar 02 07:01:27 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2) Mar 02 07:01:51 and i dont' know, how to fix it Mar 02 07:02:17 <_av500_> is this a hobby project? Mar 02 07:03:32 no, it's my company proj Mar 02 07:04:11 @_av550 : do you have skype ? Mar 02 07:04:14 who makes the pantherboard? Mar 02 07:04:23 <_av500_> http://www.edwireless.com/ap-dm37.php Mar 02 07:04:30 <_av500_> ThanhNK: what for? Mar 02 07:05:05 <_av500_> ds2: not sure Mar 02 07:05:27 Panther board jorjin Mar 02 07:05:49 you should have a TI support engineer Mar 02 07:06:07 <_av500_> not sure TI has any left for DM37 Mar 02 07:06:16 it is a kernel. sources are available Mar 02 07:06:17 plus there are TI forums for their eval boards/sdks Mar 02 07:06:18 what more do you need. Mar 02 07:06:25 kernel is easy Mar 02 07:06:30 userland is what is painful and hard Mar 02 07:06:33 sometimes the forums are even useful... Mar 02 07:08:13 or maybe your manager can get you a newer eval board with current support... Mar 02 07:08:48 :( Mar 02 07:08:50 who cares about support. use the source. Mar 02 07:09:46 didn't say he was using yocto/oe Mar 02 07:10:11 @ds2 : do you know , how to customize linux for a new board ? Mar 02 07:10:14 looks like there even are some sort of sources for that thing Mar 02 07:10:26 if there's machine support then good to go Mar 02 07:10:52 2.6.37 - ah, the stale smell of vintage kernels Mar 02 07:11:55 * nerdboy would wager other people here do the for a living Mar 02 07:12:13 board bring-up, training, etc Mar 02 07:12:23 :( Mar 02 07:13:51 <_av500_> tbr: of course there are sources Mar 02 07:14:04 <_av500_> how many variations of the TI ref design are there.... Mar 02 07:15:13 ds2: it's not about needing the support, rather unsupported machines get no more support upstream Mar 02 07:15:25 <_av500_> just use 2.6.37 Mar 02 07:15:39 sometimes they even remove existing machine support moving forward Mar 02 07:16:10 could be stuck forever on an old/edgy fork Mar 02 07:16:25 you just do it. Mar 02 07:16:36 nerdboy: then back port Mar 02 07:16:45 you just get newer/supported piece of hardware... Mar 02 07:17:08 do you want to chase and debug new kernels or do you want working hw? Mar 02 07:17:25 pick kernel release for your hw. debug it and backport stuff as needed. Mar 02 07:17:32 1) easier said than done, 2) they will *not* let you cluebat the manager in the parking lot Mar 02 07:18:17 no, i want to abandon the unsupported crap and move forward Mar 02 07:20:25 nerdboy: it is easy. I do that all the time. Mar 02 07:20:55 go enjoy your DT of the hour battles Mar 02 07:21:11 <_av500_> version chasing is futile Mar 02 07:21:19 I'll enjoy my working HW. Mar 02 07:24:02 <_av500_> how boring :) Mar 02 07:24:27 doesn't sound lie you inherited a mess as your custom machine "release" layer on top of oe-classic Mar 02 07:24:33 *like even Mar 02 07:25:19 * nerdboy listens to the voice of experience Mar 02 07:25:39 no OE Mar 02 07:25:40 <_av500_> nerdboy: so you want to untangle the mess? Mar 02 07:26:42 <_av500_> are you on dm37 too? Mar 02 07:26:59 was on dm8168 Mar 02 07:27:07 and no, i do not Mar 02 07:30:11 <_av500_> ah Mar 02 09:04:45 Is to possible to communicate beaglebone black and android device via usb cable Mar 02 09:05:47 Shall any one know about this Mar 02 09:08:25 is it possible to communicate beaglebone black with android device via usb cable in android Mar 02 09:11:55 <_av500_> sure Mar 02 09:11:58 <_av500_> its all SW Mar 02 09:12:21 can any one know about this. because in the last month i'm searching about it. can any one help me Mar 02 09:12:22 <_av500_> look for Android ADK Mar 02 09:12:43 <_av500_> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/BARD Mar 02 09:13:09 not in linux Mar 02 09:13:16 <_av500_> i you are the same guy that asks here every wekk, we told you all that before Mar 02 09:13:18 <_av500_> what?

Mar 02 09:13:54 i should install Mar 02 09:14:05 android on Mar 02 09:14:05 <_av500_> cityoflights2: it should Mar 02 09:14:07 bbb Mar 02 09:14:20 and application should be written in Mar 02 09:14:26 eclipse Mar 02 09:14:31 <_av500_> and? Mar 02 09:14:32 in windows Mar 02 09:14:35 <_av500_> android on BBB exists Mar 02 09:14:39 I mostly use a wifi connected to the usb, and see many dhclient messages in the syslog Mar 02 09:14:44 <_av500_> just copy the image Mar 02 09:14:58 I would prefer to have the dhclient start only when eth0 is plugged Mar 02 09:14:59 <_av500_> and android apps can be written on linux, mac, windows Mar 02 09:15:21 I want to communicate via usb cable Mar 02 09:15:26 <_av500_> with what? Mar 02 09:15:33 is that any drivers or any Mar 02 09:15:41 <_av500_> communicate with what? Mar 02 09:15:41 thing else should Mar 02 09:15:55 install in bbb Mar 02 09:15:58 or phone Mar 02 09:16:06 <_av500_> communicate with what? Mar 02 09:16:35 communication with bbb and android phone Mar 02 09:16:38 cityoflights2 install ifplugs Mar 02 09:16:43 via usb cable Mar 02 09:16:44 <_av500_> and both run Android? Mar 02 09:16:47 cityoflights2 I meant ifplugd Mar 02 09:16:53 yes Mar 02 09:16:55 <_av500_> ah Mar 02 09:17:02 <_av500_> why not say that from the start Mar 02 09:17:03 both the devices are android Mar 02 09:17:05 isn't debian coming with this installed? Mar 02 09:17:27 cityoflights2 I do not know Mar 02 09:17:35 <_av500_> test___: there is nothing in android for 2 devices to talk to each other Mar 02 09:17:37 but for sure it is not enabled by default Mar 02 09:17:59 <_av500_> how good are your kernel hacking skills? Mar 02 09:18:04 av500 is rxtx usable on android? Mar 02 09:18:10 I'M NEW IN ANDROID Mar 02 09:18:12 <_av500_> woglinde: and then? over what serial?

Mar 02 09:29:32 _av500_ I think he read them Mar 02 09:29:47 but the brain can not translate them into something useful Mar 02 09:29:59 yep I use RCN jessie Mar 02 09:30:15 cityoflights2 hm okay Mar 02 09:31:02 cityoflights2 hm okay when you are using systemd anyway I think you do not need ifplugd Mar 02 09:31:07 oops sorry Mar 02 09:31:34 systemd has some signals when ethX is connected Mar 02 09:31:56 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-networkd Mar 02 09:35:25 if you put kenel/driver related stuff in your cv could give you some funny subject lines in email. the good ones i got are : driver needed. low-level opportunities.. Mar 02 09:36:13 uh , channels is running hot already .. Mar 02 09:36:26 hardly manage to read the backlog today .. wow Mar 02 09:55:42 hello Mar 02 09:56:14 OHAI! Mar 02 09:56:48 is that any one know Mar 02 09:57:01 how to install adk on bbb Mar 02 09:57:30 is your BBB the hardware revision with built in flux compensator? Mar 02 09:58:18 yes Mar 02 09:58:56 ok, you'll have to calibrate it first, else it will not work Mar 02 09:59:17 ok Mar 02 09:59:44 can you give me the steps Mar 02 09:59:52 to install adk on bbb Mar 02 10:00:12 have you calibrated the flux compensator on your device? Mar 02 10:00:35 no Mar 02 10:01:10 oh, you'll have to do it first. It's in the enclosed BBB-Fx special edition booklet on page 26. Mar 02 10:03:51 den Mar 02 10:04:43 install adk on bbb Mar 02 10:05:26 did you do the exact steps for calibration? Mar 02 10:05:35 was the result 54 or 42? Mar 02 10:05:57 no Mar 02 10:06:07 i didn't get Mar 02 10:06:14 any of the Mar 02 10:06:17 result Mar 02 10:06:40 but you followed the exact steps? they are on page 26 Mar 02 10:07:10 give me the link of that Mar 02 10:07:13 page Mar 02 10:07:35 it's not online. The special BBB-Fx edition booklet was only included with the device itself. Mar 02 10:08:07 how to find that one Mar 02 10:08:24 it should have been together with the device in the box Mar 02 10:08:55 in which folder Mar 02 10:09:08 it should seems Mar 02 10:09:49 a little brown booklet, paper. On the back it should say "don't panic" in big and friendly letters. It came with my BBB-Fx in the little box. Mar 02 10:09:58 have you lost it? Mar 02 10:10:37 yes Mar 02 10:10:45 oh, that's bad, very bad Mar 02 10:11:17 what to do? Mar 02 10:11:25 you see, each of them has the right individual values for the Board printed in it. Mar 02 10:11:52 k Mar 02 10:11:54 if you lost it then you won't be able to perform the essential Layer-8 to BBB recalibration process Mar 02 10:12:20 Basically that means you won't be able to use the FX special edition features Mar 02 10:12:38 so it becomes a regular BBB Mar 02 10:12:41 is that any other way way to install Mar 02 10:12:47 adk on bbb Mar 02 10:12:53 for the Mar 02 10:12:54 oh, yes, but it would have been so much easier Mar 02 10:13:02 usb communication Mar 02 10:13:06 now you will actually have to figure it out yourself Mar 02 10:13:23 how Mar 02 10:13:49 the truth of the exact steps is out there, somewhere Mar 02 10:14:23 communication via usb cable Mar 02 10:14:40 i need to install adk Mar 02 10:14:45 oon bbb Mar 02 10:16:52 is that any shoul help me Mar 02 10:17:05 you could buy support for the fx-autocallibrator-kernal, that has built in ADK support Mar 02 11:44:37 hello ... i am a newbie... i am trying to run a C++ program on my BBB. i wrote the program on my computer and then cross compiled using - arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.7 . i then copied my file to my board but when i try to run the executable file i get "Segmentation Fault". what am i doing wrong ? Mar 02 11:45:12 something Mar 02 11:45:19 standard linux debugging techniques apply Mar 02 11:46:54 tbr: i tried the compiling a different program using the compiler and its working fine... Mar 02 11:47:25 tbr: why did this segmentation fault occur ? Mar 02 11:47:44 > standard linux debugging techniques apply Mar 02 11:48:56 tbr: the program is working fine on my computer Mar 02 11:49:05 but not on my BBB Mar 02 11:50:37 so? debug it Mar 02 11:50:58 gdb, strace, and the rest are your friends Mar 02 11:52:11 tbr:alright Mar 02 11:53:48 hi, is there any way to set a BB White back to factory settings? Mar 02 11:54:44 take out the mirco-sd, done Mar 02 11:55:24 done, but the power led flash just once and nothing more... Mar 02 11:57:28 now prepare a fresh micro-sd card, insert it and power it up Mar 02 12:02:16 ok. i prepared a new sd with the openrov cockpit version. still one short flash. Mar 02 12:02:46 how did you prepare it? Mar 02 12:04:19 i write the openROV image on it using win32diskimager. before formatted with SDFormatter Mar 02 12:05:44 and you undompressed the image before that? Mar 02 12:06:21 Stefan__ serial cable and you see whats wrong on the console Mar 02 12:06:53 * woglinde wonders why the kids today do not learn about serial cables Mar 02 12:07:25 woglinde: only nation state actors need serial cables Mar 02 12:07:52 * tbr suspects something about the image or how it's written is wrong Mar 02 12:07:57 @tbr yes. file size about 600mb Mar 02 12:08:00 is that image known to boot on a BBW? Mar 02 12:08:50 @woglinde-> is not powering up at all. thats why im not able to use RX/TX Com Mar 02 12:09:26 then something about the card or the image is wrong Mar 02 12:09:32 it is. was working before with that image (same procedure, same file) Mar 02 12:09:41 Stefan__: if you put the card into a card reader, do you see a small FAT partition? Mar 02 12:10:05 tbr uhm at least it should print something about, it can not read the MLO Mar 02 12:11:11 was that the "C" thing on UART? Mar 02 12:11:21 * tbr keeps forgetting Mar 02 12:12:24 yes. the SD containing a 87mb FAT patition with a MLO file inside Mar 02 12:13:04 Stefan__: what did you do to the hardware between when it was working and when it stopped working? Mar 02 12:13:32 pluged in a usb webcam while boot up Mar 02 12:13:52 and the ethernet wire Mar 02 12:16:51 i could measure 5V in on P9 Pin 5 and 6 Mar 02 12:19:20 I'd probably try a different card and a different image. just to make sure Mar 02 12:24:12 i try it. will take some minutes Mar 02 12:37:06 done. different sd card, other image... some result Mar 02 12:37:12 guess is dead Mar 02 12:51:03 same result. not powering up Mar 02 13:03:46 in arduino we have wiring framework... Mar 02 13:04:33 so this framework is just the different files in which work is distributed or something more is there ?? Mar 02 13:05:06 like wiring_digital, wiring_analog, etc...different files for different tasks... Mar 02 13:11:15 Can anyone suggest me a Long distance Temperature & Humidity sensor to use with beaglebone black. I used Adafruit DHT22. But that was not capable of transmitting long distance signals. I am looking to use it over 10M with Cat 5 or 6 Cable? Mar 02 13:18:21 i am trying to debug program and i am getting the following result (gdb) run -d Starting program: /home/root/scanapi2/ScanAPI_Ex/ftrScanAPI_Ex -d warning: File "/lib/libthread_db-1.0.so" auto-loading has been declined by your `auto-load safe-path' set to "$debugdir:$datadir/auto-load". warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.

I used Adafruit DHT22. But that was not capable of transmitting long distance signals. I am looking to use it over 10M with Cat 5 or 6 Cable? Mar 02 13:53:27 uhm long distance = long cable between bbb and sensor? Mar 02 14:05:43 is usbfs supported on angstrom ? Mar 02 14:07:29 Hi. Does anyone know anything about the supply issue with the Beagleboard XM? Mar 02 14:11:38 is usbfs supported on angstrom ? Mar 02 15:13:43 Humpelst1lzchen: If u are there, yes bro, I need long cables between bb and the sensor. Mar 02 16:42:07 Can anyone suggest me a Long distance Temperature & Humidity sensor to use with beaglebone black. I used Adafruit DHT22. But that was not capable of transmitting long distance signals. I am looking to use it over 10M with Cat 5 or 6 Cable? Mar 02 16:42:39 Distance Between BB and the sensor (10M). Thanks Mar 02 16:43:49 <_av500_> you need some signal conditioning Mar 02 16:46:38 @_av500_: Thanks for the concern on my question bro. As I am new to BB, can you please give me more details if you can? Mar 02 16:47:06 Amil_: is your sensor on 5V or 3.3 ? Mar 02 16:49:30 Catslab: it supports from 3-5V bro, So i tried with 5V Mar 02 16:49:57 on a 10m cable you'll have parasite reflexion at both ends of the cable, so you'll need at least a diode between data and ground to supress them Mar 02 16:51:09 who knows the datasheet for that sensor might even cover this Mar 02 16:51:18 tbr nope Mar 02 16:51:24 just looked at that Mar 02 16:51:39 and you'll need a small resistance on the dataline Mar 02 16:52:00 have a look at 1wire network http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/148 Mar 02 16:52:27 <_av500_> Amil_: hint: stop the "bro" thing Mar 02 16:52:53 I was driving ds18b20 on a network of coolant pipes and had to apply that Mar 02 16:52:57 Catslab: Thanks alot for your information, ill have a look on that Mar 02 16:53:42 @_av500_: may be the way i've used to, if that was irritating u, i am sorry Mar 02 16:54:06 i-wire needs a "repeater" for longer cables, no? Mar 02 16:54:25 <_av500_> Amil_: np Mar 02 16:54:30 i2c maybe 2m depending on cables, etc... Mar 02 16:55:00 nerdboy: I didn't use any up to 44 meters Mar 02 16:55:07 1 wire is slow Mar 02 16:55:24 1-wire, if properly set up can go quite long distance IIRC Mar 02 16:55:33 slow, but made for longer distances Mar 02 16:55:51 for i2c you can use signal conditioners Mar 02 16:56:07 stuff like i2c is bus protocal, not meant to go very far Mar 02 16:56:35 maybe easiest to put a controller on the sensor end Mar 02 16:56:45 Amil_: i'm running a ds18b20 on a 2m wire and from time to time i dont get any data Mar 02 16:57:06 nerdboy: thanks alot for all ur information, ill try my best. may u reach the ever success in everything u do !! Mar 02 16:57:08 Amil_, you may wish to look at http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/148 Mar 02 16:57:13 like stick the sensor on arduino or pi Mar 02 16:57:27 <_av500_> or rahter an 8 pic attiny Mar 02 16:57:34 <_av500_> and just use RS232 for the data Mar 02 16:57:56 for i2c I use http://www.ti.com.cn/cn/lit/ds/scps145a/scps145a.pdf Mar 02 16:59:48 and watch out for sensors with funky vendor protocol Mar 02 16:59:53 like sht1x Mar 02 17:00:44 * nerdboy shakes his fist at vendors too cheap/dumb to use i2c (or "compatible") Mar 02 17:00:59 nerdboy: Thanks alot again, ill have a look on these information. Mar 02 17:01:28 sht2x sensors are supposedly i2c Mar 02 17:02:54 there are notes/readme stuff in our github area from messing with that situation Mar 02 17:03:29 plus a patched RPi.GPIO backend for the sht1x bastard child Mar 02 17:04:14 there was some sort of bitbanging to get SHT1x going on the BBB too IIRC Mar 02 17:05:24 we thought about that... Mar 02 17:05:51 seemed easier to get the backend to reset the data/clk pins properly Mar 02 17:06:50 https://github.com/VCTLabs/pi-sensor-test Mar 02 17:08:27 * nerdboy bought some dude's sensorstick before realizing the sht10 protocol funkiness Mar 02 17:08:47 <[1]hitman> hello, is there a way to take a screenshot of what my bbb would probably be showing now? i am connected to it using teraterm on my windows pc. Mar 02 17:09:01 pays to do your homework first... Mar 02 17:09:28 <_av500_> hitman_: you want a screenshot of terraterm? Mar 02 17:09:58 if X is up you can grab the root window with import Mar 02 17:10:08 (imagemagick) Mar 02 17:10:37 no, theres no screen connected to my bbb, but suppose if it was connected, the screenshot of that display. Mar 02 17:10:39 X ? Mar 02 17:11:03 set DISPLAY and try it Mar 02 17:11:39 set DISPLAY to what ? Mar 02 17:12:29 i tried using scrot, but it returned error. Mar 02 17:13:35 :1 Mar 02 17:13:38 or :0 Mar 02 17:13:39 depends Mar 02 17:15:37 scrot returns with "giblib error: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah?" Mar 02 17:15:51 ps ax | grep X Mar 02 17:16:23 hitman_: it could be sitting on any display Mar 02 17:17:56 after " ps ax | grep X" the output was: Mar 02 17:18:02 http://pastebin.com/nDdxkXm3 Mar 02 17:18:14 :0 then Mar 02 17:18:25 DISPLAY=:0 scrot Mar 02 17:20:13 *should* work Mar 02 17:24:37 it still returns with that same error. Mar 02 17:26:07 actually it says : Mar 02 17:26:08 No protocol specified Mar 02 17:26:08 giblib error: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah? Mar 02 17:27:05 does scrot have a -display arg? Mar 02 17:27:26 import -display :0 should work Mar 02 17:27:50 no, it returns with that "giblib" error. Mar 02 17:28:02 what does? Mar 02 17:28:26 root@beaglebone:~/Desktop# scrot --display Mar 02 17:28:27 scrot: unrecognized option '--display' Mar 02 17:28:27 giblib error: Can't open X display. It *is* running, yeah? Mar 02 17:29:42 scrot sucks Mar 02 17:30:03 import -display :0 -window root out.png Mar 02 17:30:19 might need to install imagemagick Mar 02 17:37:22 istalled imagemagick, and then Mar 02 17:37:23 root@beaglebone:~/Desktop# import -display:0 window root Mar 02 17:37:23 import.im6: unable to open X server `' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/368. Mar 02 17:38:52 try "-display :0 -window root" Mar 02 17:39:17 no typos this time Mar 02 17:42:02 root@beaglebone:~/Desktop# import -display :0 -window root out.png Mar 02 17:42:03 No protocol specified Mar 02 17:42:03 import.im6: unable to open X server `:0' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/368. Mar 02 17:43:25 and you're sure it's running on display :0 ? Mar 02 17:44:00 no, i said, that its not ! Mar 02 17:44:52 it's sitting at the lightdm login according to your paste Mar 02 17:45:19 you could try enabling the lightdm autologin stuff Mar 02 17:47:29 i just want to make it clear that my bbb is not connected to any thing except my pc. (if it was unclear before) Mar 02 17:47:41 and how to login into that ? Mar 02 17:48:22 ok, i'll do that. Mar 02 17:48:39 in the config file Mar 02 17:58:44 latest default debain emmc boots into lxde desktop but doesn't have imagemagick Mar 02 17:59:15 * nerdboy waits for too many packages for a console tool... Mar 02 18:03:47 nerdboy, we only have 2gb or 4gb of emmc to deal with... not 'everything' is installed.. Mar 02 18:04:47 rcn-ee: you didn't do all the debian package depends... Mar 02 18:04:51 did you? Mar 02 18:05:19 just a sec... Mar 02 18:05:32 Hello, is someone here from .ch and using a swisscom box? Is 192.168.1.1 the box's IP? Mar 02 18:05:42 * nerdboy pays homage to craig ferguson Mar 02 18:05:52 it's debian: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install imagemagick Mar 02 18:05:53 "or *did* you..." Mar 02 18:06:22 yup, just took about 26 packages to get it... ;) Mar 02 18:09:40 how will i know that i have logged in ? using "ps ax | grep X" ? Mar 02 18:12:22 you mean "know the X server is running"? Mar 02 18:13:18 yes. (new to linux ) Mar 02 18:14:32 that the lightdm have reached to the main desktop. Mar 02 18:14:46 hitman_, why don't you just login via x11vnc/etc... Mar 02 18:15:01 the default user get's autologin'ed to lxde desktop by default Mar 02 18:16:15 try su - debian Mar 02 18:16:22 then run the imprt command Mar 02 18:18:16 import.im6: unable to open X server `' @ error/import.c/ImportImageCommand/368. Mar 02 18:18:17 havent logged in yet . right ? Mar 02 18:19:21 Hello There, is BeagleBoard xM obsolete? it looks like no one carries it in stock and no one has a delivery date Mar 02 18:19:33 can you login as debian user? Mar 02 18:19:48 Ayman_: production runs are only done every few months now, but they are still happening. Mar 02 18:20:05 Ayman_: Digi-Key is likely the best place to make an xM order now. Mar 02 18:20:17 <_av500_> Ayman_: it was always out of stock Mar 02 18:20:44 <_av500_> so just order and wait Mar 02 18:20:55 I called them up this morning and they said they have nothing in stock and no delivery date Mar 02 18:21:21 nerdboy: yes, i did the "su - debian" nothing was prompted. Mar 02 18:21:53 but your shell prompt should change Mar 02 18:22:03 Ayman_, the people on the phone don't know about the pcb shortage for the xm... Right now they cant' be built peroid. ;) Mar 02 18:22:24 nerdboy: yes, its now "debian@beaglebone:~$" Mar 02 18:22:32 just run the full imort command from before as debian user Mar 02 18:22:42 *import even Mar 02 18:23:16 rcn-ee: as usual, you were right... Mar 02 18:23:22 pcb shortage? wow Mar 02 18:23:45 installing imagemagick hit the end of my 2GB of space... Mar 02 18:23:48 Ayman_, the company that built them, when belly up... it takes awhile to recertify a new pcb supplier.. Mar 02 18:24:04 oh I see Mar 02 18:24:17 thanks for clarification Mar 02 18:24:38 hitman_: hopefully you have an 4GB emmc? Mar 02 18:24:38 wish i knew when that was done.. sorry i couldn't tell you more then that. .;) Mar 02 18:25:06 nerdboy: yes i do ! Mar 02 18:25:12 and it worked ! Mar 02 18:25:14 rcn-ee: going to elc again? Mar 02 18:25:29 I appreciate your help rcn-ee Mar 02 18:25:42 how do you guys can just solve any problem !!! Mar 02 18:26:03 you guys have a good day Mar 02 18:26:15 thank you !!! nerdboy : i owe you one ! Mar 02 18:26:44 nerdboy, yeap that's the plan.. we need to find a conference room and do a mini-beagle conference ;) Mar 02 18:27:09 * nerdboy wants another philly Mar 02 18:27:33 i tried making one last week.. wasn't the same.. i'll be heading to that joint again.. Mar 02 18:27:58 hopefully x-apple english dude around the corner still has some old speckled hen Mar 02 18:29:31 rcn-ee: i get to stay for oedam, boss leaves early Mar 02 18:29:45 we have talks on mon/tue Mar 02 18:30:33 so to be again a root user , i'l; have to do "su - root", right ? Mar 02 18:30:41 philly lunch on any of those days would work Mar 02 18:30:53 just "exit" Mar 02 18:31:09 ^ hitman_ Mar 02 18:31:24 oh ! thank you ! again ! Mar 02 18:44:39 how to know the amount of space left free in the emmc ? Mar 02 18:47:04 hitman_: df -h / Mar 02 18:57:16 rcn-ee: you were also mentioned in scale embedded talk Mar 02 18:57:36 hopefully you didn't get a headache or anything... Mar 02 18:57:49 really? i beter go to that one. ;) Mar 02 18:58:05 last week Mar 02 18:58:28 slides on github, videos on yootube Mar 02 18:58:44 sweet, i'll be checking that out! Mar 02 19:02:50 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII2Shsii1TFI_UrIvUwu1Q <= you should like stephanie's talks... Mar 02 19:03:53 oh! she was having fun with usb! ;) Mar 02 19:04:15 that's kind of a long-term love/hate thing... Mar 02 19:06:32 she decided to eschew my libreoffice template and make her slides with inkscape Mar 02 19:13:20 anyone know if using the gcc from debian can be used to compile modules for the kernels here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-stable-rcn-ee? Mar 02 19:14:06 i see the same gcc version in /proc/version... Mar 02 19:17:18 wonder how well would 0.4mm and POP work with a toaster oven reflow... Mar 02 19:18:15 ryan-c: should be safe Mar 02 19:18:32 I'm having hardtime trying to bring up pruss on ti 3.14 Mar 02 19:18:37 Cool, well, let's see if I can get stuff to compile. Mar 02 19:18:46 did anyone succeded without remoteproc ? Mar 02 19:18:47 I've ended up needing 3.19 Mar 02 19:18:57 ryan-c: meaning native debian arm, right? Mar 02 19:19:03 nerdboy: yes Mar 02 19:19:23 yeah, just leave off the CC/ARCH stuff Mar 02 19:19:37
