**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 14 02:59:59 2015 Apr 14 03:01:05 it's also the first released TI SoC combining real-time control stuff (PRUSS, PWMSS) with an ARMv7 processor Apr 14 03:01:50 mm got some exciting things coming with the x15 .. hope they got usb host fixed :D Apr 14 03:02:07 or well, possibly the c6a811x was first, but it was never really released Apr 14 03:02:42 the automotive version thereof is listed as "ACTIVE" though, here look at its incredibly informative product page -> http://www.ti.com/product/dra626 Apr 14 03:03:09 Vayu is a completely insane chip Apr 14 03:04:09 like, how the fuck they did cram all that shit onto one die Apr 14 03:07:32 it has at least a completely different usb subsystem than the am335x Apr 14 03:07:33 afaict Apr 14 03:09:52 designware core Apr 14 03:11:13 and at least their CPPI4.1 crap appears nowhere in sight :P Apr 14 03:11:34 lol Apr 14 03:11:51 I think most of the musb bugs are due to CPPI Apr 14 03:16:52 maybe they got a batch of failed wafers from something else Apr 14 03:17:04 too bad the am572x is only a watered-down version of Vayu though... like, if I'm reading this correctly it only supports four digital video input ports! Apr 14 03:18:42 and no EVEs, we'd have to make do with the dual cortex-a15, two c66x dsps, two dual cortex-m3 subsystems, two pruss instances, iva-hd, the dual-core sgx, and oh fuck Apr 14 03:19:06 sorry, -m4, not -m3 Apr 14 03:20:39 well .. thats pretty useless isn't it?! :P Apr 14 03:23:46 well, maybe you can hook up an fpga or so to one of its PCIe ports to get real work done Apr 14 03:25:50 DMM is funny too, being able to instantly rotate images by manipulating the addressing rather than actually moving any data Apr 14 04:32:07 hi all - i think my beaglebone black is zotz'd. LED's light up and flash like normal, but cannot ssh in. i want to flash eMMC with latest debian image (7.8) from beagleboard.org/latest-images anyway. but i'm having a devil of a time doing it. why do they insist you use Windows 7-zip to unpack the image??? is there a linux version i can use to unpack the image? i also think i got it unpacked once before, and tried flashing it by holdin Apr 14 04:32:55 ....(cont'd.) SD card in beagle slot, i left it running for an hour or more, but LEDs never went all solid as promised. tried a couple of times, same result. any help please? Apr 14 04:37:47 can anyone help, please? Apr 14 04:37:48 faddah: do you have a cable to attach to the debug UART? Apr 14 04:39:01 you mean the cable to attache to jumpers? yes. i've done that before Apr 14 04:41:49 i have the adafruit version of the serial debug cable, tbr. what do you suggest i do? Apr 14 04:41:59 well, you should use it? Apr 14 04:42:33 getting it and trying now Apr 14 04:43:22 tbr - btw, every time i try and ssh in (connecting through USB) it says: "NaCl plugin exited with status code 255." Apr 14 04:43:40 what OS is this? Apr 14 04:45:43 linux Apr 14 04:46:14 so use a normal shell then, not a browser Apr 14 04:49:24 ssh 192.168.7.2 Apr 14 04:56:20 bwarff__ & tbr - am going in through shell to ttyUSB0 via adafruit serial debug cable. all it says is: "Device found /dev/ttyUSB0 connection Id 1" and just stops there. nothing else happens. :((( Apr 14 04:57:06 faddah: what do you see if you boot the board Apr 14 04:58:22 you mean re-boot it? cycle the power? Apr 14 04:58:42 does dmesg say anythig interesting when you plug it in Apr 14 04:58:45 yes and observe the serial port output Apr 14 05:05:14 tbr & bwarff__ - it goes through the normal boot process, and i have an live ethernet cable to my router in the physical ethernet port. i log in as root. then i get: [ 244.765053] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 244.770258] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 245.172321] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 245.177554] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 Apr 14 05:06:32 so the board is working then Apr 14 05:06:50 you should now have a login prompt where you can log in Apr 14 05:09:05 tbr - i had all ready logged in as root, as i said above. then i got those messages above at the prompt (i did not input a command to return them, they just show up on their own). if i do "ifconfig" as root, eth0 does not show an IP address, even though i have a ethernet cable plugged in. do you see those messages i posted that came at the command prompt after logging in as root, above ^^^^? i think they are some sort of board error m Apr 14 05:10:51 and /etc/network/interfaces is set to dhcp ? Apr 14 05:11:14 bwarff__ - checking, hang on, but i believe so Apr 14 05:12:11 bwarff__ - yes: "auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp" Apr 14 05:12:35 wlan0 isnt eth0 Apr 14 05:14:22 bwarff__ - right, hang on, editing & rebooting Apr 14 05:20:29 tbr & bwarff__ - ok, edited and rebooted. at log-in prompt, i still get these messages, unprompted (i haven't typed anything to login yet: "[ 11.193055] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 11.198227] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1" Apr 14 05:21:14 yeh, im not sure they are fatal Apr 14 05:21:19 does ifup eth0 work Apr 14 05:21:32 let me log-in and see Apr 14 05:22:26 bwarff__ - # ifup eth0 work ifup: interface eth0 already configured Ignoring unknown interface work=work. Apr 14 05:23:27 seems like a config thing to be honest Apr 14 05:23:43 "ifconfig eth0 down" Apr 14 05:23:51 then try an do it manually with ifconfig Apr 14 05:24:02 if that works, its just the setup in network/interfaces Apr 14 05:24:17 i have an IP now with ifconfig Apr 14 05:24:50 and "ifconfig eth0 down returns: "[ 340.339464] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 340.344936] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 345.857039] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 345.862238] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 346.268421] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 346.273645] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 348.283941] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio Apr 14 05:27:09 tbr & bwarff__ - those messages, which i've not seen before, happen at start-up before log in too. i've not seen them when i used to go in through the ttyUSB0 or VNC into the beagelbone black Apr 14 05:27:35 no, they would only show up in dmesg and on the console port Apr 14 05:27:58 tbr - yeah, they're happening at each startr-up Apr 14 05:28:54 what kernel version is that .. I heard of some quirk with the network not enumerating right at boot-time .. but I've never seen it myself Apr 14 05:30:54 veremit - hi. uname -a returns: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone47 #1 SMP Fri Apr 11 01:36:09 UTC 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux Apr 14 05:31:44 any particular reason for that flavour of 8.13 .. I think it went up to bone60-something no? Apr 14 05:32:12 certainly inot the 50s Apr 14 05:32:18 into* Apr 14 05:32:58 yeah, updating the kernel is a good idea anyway Apr 14 05:33:43 veremit - it's what my board shipped with (got it a few weeks ago). it's why i'm trying to flash the eMMC with the latest image from 03-01-2015, which is debian 7.8 (mine is 7.4) Apr 14 05:34:18 sounds about right Apr 14 05:34:19 tbr - yeah, i know, it's why i'm trying to flash the eMMC with the latest image from 03-01-2015 Apr 14 05:34:34 well, then keep the uart cable connected. remove power from the board, inisert card, hold down boot button, power up board Apr 14 05:35:02 you can see the flasher process if you got a console up too! :D Apr 14 05:35:24 think i need to re-do the microSD card image. best instructions for that, please? that uses _linux_, not window and 7-zip? Apr 14 05:35:28 but simplest test I think is still to wait until the leds all stay on full. Apr 14 05:36:05 faddah: use 7z from the shell (after installing it) Apr 14 05:36:06 faddah is yours the 2gb board or the 4gb? Apr 14 05:36:15 just use tar :p Apr 14 05:36:32 veremit - as i said before you joined the conversation, i know, i tried flashing it several times, let sit for over an hour after reboot with microSD card holding boot switch at start-up, LEDs never went to all on full, after an hour or more each time. Apr 14 05:36:56 just now you have a serial console and can verify it actually does something Apr 14 05:37:14 veremit - 4GB beaglebone black rev. c board Apr 14 05:37:24 tbr - where do i get 7z? Apr 14 05:37:46 apt-cache search 7z Apr 14 05:38:26 from the package repository of your linux distribution Apr 14 05:38:28 theoretically here .. http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian .. but personally I use RN's instructions at his eewiki site .. link incoming .. Apr 14 05:38:45 .. http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian Apr 14 05:38:51 rats feckin Apr 14 05:39:03 .. https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black .. <= that one Apr 14 05:39:10 i'm allready following the elinux instructions on debian update Apr 14 05:40:21 veremit, will check it out Apr 14 05:41:16 faddah .. try these .. but change the file names .. http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_software_update_process Apr 14 05:41:47 although something tells me that's equally obsolete Apr 14 05:42:07 really need to get the Beaglebone Documentation Project up and running .. Apr 14 05:45:23 faddah .. take a pinch of http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Debian_On_BeagleBone_Black too lol Apr 14 05:48:43 veremit - yeah, i'm seeing where it's out of date. like for flashing eMMC, uEnv.txt file is actually in "/boot/uboot/uEnv.txt," _not_ in just "/boot/uEnv.txt," like the elinux wiki says. Apr 14 05:51:53 its the one issue I find with the beagle - there are thousands of articles out there .. all unique setups... Apr 14 05:53:13 honestly .. if I 1) had the time 2) had access and 3) had a spare beagle to play with .. I'd keep a set of pages for the latest current stable standard build configuration and setup Apr 14 06:02:13 yeh lots of the original doco on the opkg linux should die Apr 14 06:07:09 veremit: then you have never seen what exists around the rpi. that's orders of magnitude. Apr 14 06:18:07 veremit, tbr, bwarff__ - tried following first part of elinux instructions, there is no oracle-java8 with debian 7.4 repositories. if i try and apt-get install openjava=7-jdk, it goes through and then says there's no space left, can't install. :((( Apr 14 06:19:00 why java ? Apr 14 06:19:16 download image, unzip it, dd it to sd, mount sd, resize fs. Apr 14 06:20:26 oh, one of the tutorials says java, nfi why Apr 14 06:20:48 that must be building from source Apr 14 06:21:23 faddah: you might need to resize your partition Apr 14 06:21:55 bwarff__ like i said, following elinux wiki instructions for beaglebone flashing eMMC with latest debian image Apr 14 06:22:03 tbr - how do i do that? Apr 14 06:22:13 there is a script in opt Apr 14 06:23:10 I'd be surprised if the elinux instructions called for installing oracle java as part of the base process Apr 14 06:30:55 wtf is up with TI's website this past couple weeks? :/ Apr 14 06:31:23 tbr .. ancient instructions Apr 14 06:31:37 Download a pdf from TI? NOPE. 404. Apr 14 06:31:38 there are plenty referring to angstrom too Apr 14 06:31:53 Shadyman, have you registred, and logged in ... bastards .. lol Apr 14 06:32:15 well, that and it's missing CSS, and all kinds of stuff. Apr 14 06:32:24 tbr, .. there may be many hundreds of tthousands of articles for the pi .. but the foundation maintain a central up-to-date getting started guide. Apr 14 06:32:38 ti servers _always_ fail, it's just the degree of failure that differs Apr 14 06:32:49 heh Apr 14 06:32:52 https://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/wireless_connectivity/overview.page for example. Apr 14 06:33:04 Does that look rather CSS-less and formatless to anyone else? Apr 14 06:33:27 stt_michael: recently had to look sthg up about the pi-header as I'm using some hardware with a connector for that on my BBW and I found the foundation docs to be lacking Apr 14 06:33:29 its lovely, i wish more info came that clean Apr 14 06:33:42 except the links don't Do anything Apr 14 06:33:53 https://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/wireless_connectivity/wilink/products.page Apr 14 06:33:57 at least it loads nice and fast :) Apr 14 06:33:57 Products? LOLNope Apr 14 06:34:21 I blame anyone named Jason over there, because JSON fails. Apr 14 06:35:12 json went into hiding, he cops so much abuse for not having a datetime type, it was social media bullying Apr 14 06:37:05 hrm, anyone happen to know if rcn has the dts/dtsi files packaged/available for his newer kernels somewhere? Apr 14 06:37:25 * tbr just noticed that the 3.14 ti dtb won't work with the 4.0.0-bone0 kernel Apr 14 06:39:26 back, sorry, laptop power ran down Apr 14 06:39:52 could someone, veremit, maybe, repost the last link to instructions for flashing the new debian on the eMMC, please? Apr 14 06:45:05 ? Apr 14 06:48:45 tbr, bwarff__ & veremit, you all still here? Apr 14 06:52:21 ds2: abusing dc-in as a 5v-tolerant gpi is definitely a bad idea btw: as soon as the pmic detects a valid level on it, it will automatically switch to it as primary power source Apr 14 08:31:49 hi i downloaded the 3.14 kernel for bbb from https://github.com/beagleboard/linux and copied the arch/arm/bb.org_defconfig as the config file but when i compile the kernel i will get: No rule to make target `mm/zbud.o', needed by `mm/built-in.o'. should i do sth else for compilation? Apr 14 08:48:32 any advice? Apr 14 08:58:39 milad, .. I recommend you follow the instructions at https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black Apr 14 15:27:33 anyone here running android on their BBB? Apr 14 15:47:29 xnot currently, but I have Apr 14 15:48:42 android tended to crash a lot on the bbb if you try to use the internet Apr 14 16:19:18 hi all, back. still trying to flash/reset my beaglebone black rev. c board. Apr 14 16:19:37 veremit, you around? Apr 14 16:19:55 ... please? Apr 14 16:21:54 😁 Apr 14 16:25:32 if not veremit, can anyone here help me with wiping/flashing/re-setting my beaglebone black rev. c board with the latest image from 03-01-2015 from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ , please? Apr 14 16:26:10 Really could use help, all instructions on-line are out of date or then veer off into details of stuff i don't need to do. 😱 Apr 14 16:31:29 anyone, please? help with flashing the beaglebone black rev. c with latest image from 03-01-2015? Apr 14 16:31:52 faddah: where are you stuck? Apr 14 16:32:07 jkridner - hi! good to hear from you! Apr 14 16:32:40 rather than just yell for help, you are going to need to find some patience to explain the details of where you get stuck. Apr 14 16:34:21 @jkridner - sorry. i was trying to pick up the thread with veremit and others who were helping me late last night. particularly because veremit posted a third link he said was helpful, but before i could copy it, my laptop ran out of power (d'oh!). Apr 14 16:35:11 @jkrider - in any case, ok, i'm following these instructions, here, and i think i have made a successful microSD card from the 03-01-2015 image at http://beagleboard.org/lastest-images Apr 14 16:36:03 @jkridner - i'm trying to follow these instructions, here — http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/BBB_software_update_process Apr 14 16:36:44 faddah: k, you have a Linux host? Apr 14 16:37:15 are you able to boot the 3/1/2015 image from the uSD card? Apr 14 16:38:37 @jkridner - i did the "sudo dd if=images-bone-debian-7.8... etc." it seems to have created the image, but i can't verify. here's my problem - i'm on an Acer C720P Chromebook laptop. i have it in dev mode with lots of dev stuff loaded (ide editor, terminals, node & npm, etc.), but it doesn't recognize the microSD when i put it in now, says it wants to format it. Apr 14 16:39:05 @jkridner - how do you boot the image from the uSD card? Apr 14 16:39:15 was the image uncompressed before being written to the uSD card? Apr 14 16:39:31 @jkridner - this is my first time flashing a beagle, so i have no idea how to do any of that. that's why i'm here asking questions. Apr 14 16:39:32 you put the microSD card into the BeagleBone Black ahead of applying power, then power up the BeagleBone Black... Apr 14 16:39:43 unless the bootloader is old, it'll boot right up... Apr 14 16:39:59 if the bootloader is old, you'll have to hold the button closest to the USB host when you apply power. Apr 14 16:40:35 the image at http://beagleboard.org/lastest-images isn't a flasher itself.... but, it can easily be converted to a flasher image after booting it. Apr 14 16:40:39 @jkridner - if by "uncompressed Apr 14 16:40:43 we'll make sure it boots first. Apr 14 16:41:33 @jkridner - if by "uncompressed" you mean i uncompressed it from it's *.xz format, yes. the 03-01-2015 file is now just an *.img file Apr 14 16:42:10 good. Apr 14 16:42:37 @jkridner - ok, so to boot it, i just power down the bbb, click the microSD into the slot, power back up with serial debug cable & look at tty output terminal? Apr 14 16:42:53 @jkridner - and that will boot it from the microSD? Apr 14 16:45:52 there's a chrome app called beagleterm i'm using to see the beagle's terminal output via the adafruit serial debug cable. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beagle-term/gkdofhllgfohlddimiiildbgoggdpoea?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher Apr 14 16:47:18 @jkridner - so just so i understand what i am doing, i power down the bbb, click in the microSD card, power it back up with serial debug cable and look at the tty output, and it should be booting from the microSD, is that correct? Apr 14 16:51:12 @jkridner - is what i ask above correct? ^^^^ Apr 14 16:55:16 faddah: no, you shouldn't need to look at the serial terminal. Apr 14 16:55:38 sure, you could use BeagleTerm, but you could also just wait for it to boot and open your browser to http://192.168.7.2 if plugged in over USB. Apr 14 16:57:09 @jkridner - plugged in via the serial debug cable is how i am now, so that's what i'm going to try. the reason is i was having an awful time ssh'ing into it yesterday, part of the reason i want to flash the eMMC/reset the whole thing. wipe and start fresh with the latest. Apr 14 16:57:26 the serial debug cable won't provide power to the board. Apr 14 16:57:29 @jkridner - so going ahead and doing that now. Apr 14 16:57:48 the direct USB cable will. Apr 14 17:00:08 @jkridner - with direct usb cable yesterday, wasn't happening, that's why i went to adafruit serial debug cable and why i want to flash the whole thing. Apr 14 17:00:17 @jkridner - doing now. Apr 14 17:01:43 @jkridner - microSD clicked into powered-down bbb slot, powering back up. Apr 14 17:04:25 @jkridner - i don't think it booted from the microSD card. i did "cat /etc/dogtag" and it still says: "BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-04-23" Apr 14 17:06:04 @jkridner - i also did - python -c "import platform; print platform.dist()" - and that returned: "('debian', '7.4', '')" -- so i don't think it's booting off the microSD card Apr 14 17:06:56 k, try holding the button close to the USB host port when you plug the board in. Apr 14 17:07:12 so, disconnect the board entirely, hold the button down and connect the board. Apr 14 17:08:14 getting a serial log will be helpful to see what is going wrong, but you should try to make sure you are at least attempting to use the bootloader on the uSD card by holding the button when first applying power. Apr 14 17:09:37 @jkridner - is there a way to see what is on the uSD before trying that? trying to make sure it was written to correctly. Apr 14 17:16:10 @jkridner - ok, held down the micro-switch for boot nearest the USB port & ethernet port while booting with uSD card clicked in. still saying it's on "('debian', '7.4', '')" Apr 14 17:16:49 @jkridner - sorry about all this, it is as frustrating to me as it is to you, perhaps more so. have no idea why it's not working, and i can't boot from uSD or flash it. Apr 14 17:21:01 @jkridner i made a "/media/uSD" directory and tried doing "sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/uSD/" so i can do "ls -a" and check that files in there that they are correct. Apr 14 17:21:30 @jkridner - when i do that, it says: [ 308.155500] EXT2-fs (mmcblk0p1): error: can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev mmcblk0p1. [ 308.168416] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p1): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem [ 308.178984] FAT-fs (mmcblk0p1): bogus number of reserved sectors [ 308.190003] FAT-fs (mmcblk0p1): bogus number of reserved sectors [ 308.204326] F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p1): Can't find a valid F2FS filesystem mount: you must specify the filesy Apr 14 17:27:45 @jkridner - you appear to be busy, i understand. i think i'm going to format the microSD and do 'dd' again to take the image over and see if that works. thank you for listening and attempting to help. Apr 14 17:30:17 faddah: do you have a uSD card -> USB adapter? You should be able to read it with that. Apr 14 17:31:09 moto-time - yeah, i'm on an Acer C720P Chromebook. wants to format it when i stick it in. following these instructions now: http://www.armhf.com/boards/beaglebone-black/bbb-sd-install/ Apr 14 17:31:55 from the error message it sounds like the second partition was not formatted Apr 14 17:34:08 from step 3 on that link, the second partition should be ext4, not ext2 Apr 14 17:35:02 moto - ext4 or 2? it says make it dos/FAT. Apr 14 17:36:13 moto-timo - oh, i see where you're saying. hang on, still in a, b, c d, etc of step 2, you're way ahead of me. Apr 14 17:40:07 moto-timo - i do appreciate the help, though. thank you. ☺ Apr 14 17:40:53 np. be patient and enjoy the journey Apr 14 17:58:00 thurgood_ thanks for the reply. Your android BBB crashed with any internet use or just browser use? Apr 14 18:16:09 back, sorry, had to reboot Apr 14 18:34:05 Sleepnbum: browser use, ran out of memory rapidly Apr 14 18:46:53 hi Apr 14 19:08:50 Hello. One question. I am trying to setup a beagleboard rev C4 with ubuntu and SPI WORKING. The first thing I did is download the last prebuilt image: wget https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2015-04-09/ubuntu-14.04.2-console-armhf-2015-04-09.tar.xz After that I set up the card. After booting the board I can not see spidev in /dev, even if I write "buddy=spidev" inside /boot/uEnv.txt. The same prebuilt image running in the beagleboard xM has s Apr 14 19:09:24 does any of you know how to have spidev working in BB C4? thank you very much. Apr 14 19:12:07 Really I just need SPI working in the beagleboard C4, the distribution is the same for me. I also tested archLinux and Angstrom but I could not enable spidev. Apr 14 19:37:20 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27065598/beaglebone-black-freezes Apr 14 19:37:28 Is there any fix for this? Apr 14 19:37:44 I'm running into it while trying to boot a flasher image. Apr 14 19:38:03 The factory OS is loaded down with too many apps, so I wanted to start fresh. Apr 14 19:38:46 But while the factory image will boot, the flasher image fails, with the last line being "drm_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text console" Apr 14 19:39:08 the flasher SD card seems to work on other BBBs... Apr 14 19:49:42 ecdhe: usb sucks, especially musb, surprise. Apr 14 19:49:50 tbr, I have zero usb devices plugged in, and just to be superstitious, I have no network cable plugged in. Apr 14 19:49:51 ecdhe: then your problem is not what is explained on SO Apr 14 19:49:51 tbr, the commenters on SO explained that they still had the problem, but less frequently so, when they removed usb devices. Apr 14 19:49:51 I will use no USB devices in production (we are getting the BBB respun without the USB port). Apr 14 19:49:51 I just want to get my flasher image working. Apr 14 19:49:53 so what's the console output when the flasher fails? and I don't mean the kms. pastebin if necessary Apr 14 19:49:57 tbr, let me see if I can get it through the serial console. Apr 14 19:51:33 hey there, the serial console actually gets a busybox prompt. Apr 14 19:52:49 tdr: http://pastebin.com/n7SqsCU0 Apr 14 20:02:35 tdr, any thoughts? or sarcastic jabs at least? Apr 14 20:02:55 ;-) Apr 14 20:03:01 ecdhe: that looks like it fails to mount rootfs. are you sure it's using the u-boot off the sd card? Apr 14 20:03:08 is that a recent flasher image? Apr 14 20:03:18 debian 7.8 Apr 14 20:04:40 It was the latest off of elinux, and it works on my first BBB. Apr 14 20:05:13 anything particular about this bbb? Apr 14 20:05:56 Well, I'm not sure how I could distinguish hardware revs... I believe I don't any BBBs that aren't rev C, but I'm not sure. Apr 14 20:08:55 are they all from the same manufacturer? Apr 14 20:09:20 check if they all have a small dog on the silkscreen Apr 14 20:10:34 Yes, these are all circuitco stock, and have the beagle logo and text. Apr 14 20:10:48 Our custom spin hasn't arrived yet. Apr 14 20:16:35 k, might make sense to ask rcn or jkridner if they have any idea. if further attempts at verification fail, consider requesting rma?

Apr 14 21:49:46 <_av500_> HCF Apr 14 22:21:48 bborg_builds: take over the world Apr 14 23:23:07 U-Boot SPL 2014.10+dfsg1-5 (Apr 07 2015 - 22:13:27) Apr 14 23:23:07 ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ### Apr 14 23:23:09 meh. Apr 14 23:26:00 i guess that's what happens when you write the MLO to the main u-boot sector. Apr 14 23:26:17 * vagrantc thanks lazy uparrow Apr 15 01:15:30 does the beagleboneblack use /dev/mmcblk*boot* to store backup copies of the u-boot environment? Apr 15 01:16:14 i've completely wiped out mmcblk1 and it's finding the old environment from somewhere... Apr 15 01:21:46 no Apr 15 01:22:09 BB[WB] u-boot is RO Apr 15 01:23:39 hi there Apr 15 01:24:20 i'm trying to figure out how to disable the serial console (so that my application can use UART0) but can't seem to find any documentation. anyone got any advice? Apr 15 01:25:09 ask your friendly distro maintainer. that's purely a userland issue Apr 15 01:26:06 ds2, thanks for the reply. you know, since i can see U-Boot and all these kernel messages during bootup, i figured it was not a userland issue but maybe something I have to set in uEnv.txt, thoughts ? Apr 15 01:26:23 to clarify, i can see them all over the serial console on bootup Apr 15 01:27:48 u-boot != kernel Apr 15 01:28:00 kernel gets the console config from the bootloader, u-boot Apr 15 01:28:07 which is configured by the distro Apr 15 01:31:38 ok thanks i'll keep poking around and learning about how the serial console is initialized Apr 15 01:31:40 in debian Apr 15 01:31:52 thank you ds2 Apr 15 01:38:33 Does anyone ha Apr 15 01:38:55 Does anyone have a link on how to determine which BBB revision one has? Apr 15 01:43:58 4gig emmc (rev c) vs 2 gig emmc (rev b) Apr 15 01:44:42 there are more than just rev b and c Apr 15 01:45:02 I know it's printed on a label on the side of either P8 or P9, I forget Apr 15 01:45:07 but in software... Apr 15 01:47:14 a bunch of different rev a's but they are obscure and unlikely i would have thunk. Apr 15 01:47:33 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack Apr 15 01:47:46 Don't see any label near p8 or p9 Apr 15 01:48:32 if its 4gig emmc, its easy, start there .. most likely b otherwise but if its old well, dig into chipsets as per link i posted Apr 15 01:51:44 Looks like pre rev B as it has a AM3359AZCZ100 Apr 15 01:52:58 Are they known to have any usb issues? I plug a know good hub with a wireless adapter and mouse and keyboard but wont respond. Apr 15 01:53:24 Also fails to detect any usb if its not connected to the system during boot. Apr 15 02:09:22 ds2: what do you mean by read-only? Apr 15 02:10:28 i mean, i've updated u-boot on numerous occasions, i've zero'ed out /dev/mmcblk0 or /dev/mmcblk1 and that much works ... but it's unclear where it saves the environment when running Apr 15 02:10:33 "saveenv" Apr 15 02:10:44 it certain can save it's environment Apr 15 02:30:25 there is no code to implement the backend for saveenv Apr 15 02:30:30 hence the nasty hacks Apr 15 02:39:51 ds2: i'm not sure what you mean... i type saveenv, and it saves the current env *somewhere* that persists across power cycling ... Apr 15 02:40:18 i don't know how it would do that without code Apr 15 02:42:09 my biggest grief is that i've ever used saveenv, because it's far more persistant that i'd like and i'd like to be able to test the u-boot default env. Apr 15 02:43:28 i vaguely recall rcn disabling saveenv in the u-boot builds shipped on the bbb because of exactly that scenario **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 15 02:59:58 2015
