May 11 09:40:22 yes, I actually wrote a program that will automate it May 11 09:40:32 but I will release it on the weekend May 11 09:41:01 which wifi adapter have you got? May 11 09:41:18 LM006 May 11 09:42:29 do you know which chipset is used? May 11 09:44:05 did you install the latest debian image by RCN? May 11 09:44:08 No I don't. I'm kinda new to all these kinds of things. How do I find out? May 11 09:44:16 I see May 11 09:44:54 do you have a keyboard and screen connected? May 11 09:45:31 No, I'm connected through USB May 11 09:46:00 but i can use PuTTY May 11 09:53:44 in the datasheets of my wifi adapter I found that the chipset is RTL 8188CUS May 11 09:54:32 o ok May 11 09:54:50 so, can you ssh or putty to the BBB? May 11 09:55:12 yes I can May 11 09:55:14 can you run this command : ip addr show May 11 09:56:18 Yes I did, do I have to copy the entire output? May 11 09:56:32 pastebin please May 11 09:56:38 not in the channel May 11 09:57:06 I am now using the new debian jessie and comman is very easy to use May 11 09:57:46 connman May 11 09:58:18 http://pastebin.com/tHnWiNG0 May 11 09:58:45 but you are connected via wireless it seems May 11 09:59:35 woglinde: which network manager is the default one? May 11 09:59:50 seems it is using USB0 while wlan0 is availble May 11 10:00:03 normally I shared my laptop's internet connection through USB May 11 10:00:23 but the wifi adapter is already inserted in the BBB as well May 11 10:00:30 CityLights2 uhm default is ifup/down May 11 10:01:02 I see May 11 10:01:49 Penguin: can you install connman? sudo apt-get install connman May 11 10:03:31 it's installing... May 11 10:04:00 sweet, it will be easy now May 11 10:07:03 it has finished running, but I think it didn't go as planned May 11 10:07:05 http://pastebin.com/WdVZ4Svv May 11 10:14:42 Do you have a solution or should I just try again? May 11 10:25:34 When I want to reinstall it, it says that it already is the latest version of connman, so I guess it has succesfully installed May 11 10:25:41 what do I do now? May 11 10:55:58 back from lunch May 11 10:55:59 ok May 11 10:56:18 ok awesome! May 11 10:56:44 run: connmanctl May 11 10:56:50 then services May 11 10:57:12 Error: The name net.connman was not provided by any .service files May 11 10:57:44 here is a good guide May 11 10:57:47 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman May 11 10:57:54 I see May 11 10:58:03 can you reboot the BBB? May 11 10:58:46 rebooting! May 11 10:59:38 I will also advice using this guide: https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black May 11 11:00:08 then installing the new Debian 8 image on your BBB May 11 11:00:18 it comes preinstalled with connman May 11 11:00:50 it has rebooted May 11 11:01:17 has do I install the new Debian 8 image? May 11 11:01:21 *how May 11 11:02:45 or did it already happen with the connman installation? May 11 11:06:10 it was a general comment May 11 11:06:26 can you connect to your BBB after the reboot? May 11 11:07:17 yes May 11 11:07:38 I entered the connmanctl command May 11 11:07:45 and then services May 11 11:08:07 but nothing happened (not even the error) May 11 11:08:31 ok, open the guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Connman May 11 11:08:49 yes May 11 11:09:06 now, let see, issue: enable wifi May 11 11:09:11 then scan wifi May 11 11:09:17 then services again May 11 11:09:28 do you see your wireless network? May 11 11:11:20 yes I do May 11 11:11:21 http://pastebin.com/qx6Jmf6B May 11 11:13:40 and then I just use the connect command to connect to that network... May 11 11:13:49 that's awesome May 11 11:14:07 to use a password you can use: May 11 11:14:21 agent on May 11 11:14:28 then connect to the service May 11 11:14:34 have fun May 11 11:14:43 and is it possible to connect to the BBB using a smartphone or laptop May 11 11:15:11 sure, assume the smartphone is also connected to the same wireless May 11 11:17:08 and for example in the following guide: http://inspire.logicsupply.com/p/connecting-to-smart-phone.html May 11 11:18:08 I just have to install the socket.io and write a html and javascript program and I'm on my way... May 11 11:18:44 sure May 11 11:19:05 you can even do less, but using socket.io is fun May 11 11:19:20 ok, thank you very much May 11 11:19:24 you're my hero! May 11 11:19:51 you can even connect the BBB to you home stereo system and play music to the system from your phone May 11 11:20:18 but do run ip addr on the BBB, so you can tell its IP address May 11 11:21:40 ok, awesome! May 11 11:22:31 uhm May 11 11:50:20 ,hi, i have a problem with serial comunication. i set comunication acording to a qnx documentation : Baudrate: 115200 May 11 11:50:22 • Data: 8 bit May 11 11:50:24 • Parity:no May 11 11:50:26 • Stop: 1 bit May 11 11:50:28 • Flow control: none May 11 11:50:30 and i get with start neutrino: May 11 11:50:32 |=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2015.05.10 00:36:42 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= May 11 11:50:34 ("IP!I"I"IIPH(P$H)(IB!$! )!I"H"H!! May 11 11:50:36 when i try communicate with debian i get similar unintelligible characters May 11 11:50:38 i tested my serial converter with resistor between tx and rx and it's working fine. have you any ideas why i can't see normal words? THX May 11 12:38:13 Is RCN around? I've flashed the 'console' version of the 2015-03-01 Debian release. I can see that it brings up an USB-ethernet interface, but apparently doesn't do DHCP (not server not client) There's also no serial-over-USB? May 11 12:44:26 hi folks, I try to upgrade my BBB but the "opkg upgrade" says http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/machine/beaglebone/angstrom-feed-configs_1.0-r16.5_beaglebone.ipk is not available... And I agree there is just a version 16.6 May 11 12:44:38 what can I do ? May 11 12:44:51 reflash the whole thing May 11 12:45:21 OMG .... nothing else ? May 11 12:46:01 We had a trainee who installed some realtime linux additions so this would break everzthing May 11 12:46:36 then why are you trying to opkg upgrade? May 11 12:46:57 just to keep it up2date ? May 11 12:47:10 OK we|ll keep it on the old version... May 11 18:07:56 hello May 11 18:09:06 can anybody tell me if it is possible to install linux without desktop to Beaglebone? May 11 18:09:39 probably the majority is running without desktop May 11 18:10:01 jinting, check out any of the images listed as "console" here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Releases May 11 18:11:26 I excellent! thanks jbdatko May 11 19:36:09 ah, so that's what the flash of light was... one of my lightbulbs had turned into a darkbulb May 11 20:13:27 well , If someone can help me package a python, I will release this May 11 20:22:39 CityLights2: release what? May 11 21:59:40 I need help packaging May 11 21:59:46 I got: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?475364 May 11 22:00:16 the main debuild output was: http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?475362 May 11 22:00:23 how to deb? May 11 22:50:37 Hey all, I'm tring to setup uart (uart1), in Debian Jessie with the Beagle Bone Black. May 11 22:51:00 First of all I did run this: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-Upgradedistro%22device-tree-compiler%22package May 11 22:51:14 Then I installed this https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python May 11 22:51:52 But if I run UART.setup("UART1") (in Python) I get Unable to export UART channel. May 11 22:53:03 I think the correct device tree file is not loaded, but I have no clue about this topic May 12 02:03:08 hi I'm having a difficult time booting my microSD card on my beaglebone black May 12 02:03:17 I don't know how to debug my issue May 12 02:03:26 or what information to provide May 12 02:04:25 I am using a 128GB microSD card May 12 02:04:29 and let me show you which distro I'm using May 12 02:04:56 and how I used 'dd' to burn the image into the microSD from a debian jessie amd64 gnu / linux host OS distro May 12 02:07:03 ok I was following this guide http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#BeagleBone.2FBeagleBone_Black May 12 02:07:15 and this is the image I'm using: https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2015-05-08/microsd/bone-debian-8.0-console-armhf-2015-05-08-2gb.img.xz May 12 02:08:06 you sure a uSD that size is supported? May 12 02:08:11 I have no idea? May 12 02:08:54 I think the controller is only .. erm .. XHDC ? maybe .. May 12 02:11:14 hm.. can I boot a beaglebone black from a usb? May 12 02:11:27 and use the usb stick rather than the microSD? May 12 02:16:24 not without some special commands May 12 02:17:05 ah ok May 12 02:17:24 well, it seems that SDHC microSD supports up to 32GB? May 12 02:17:31 was XHDC a typo for SDHC? May 12 02:17:44 if so I'll just get a 32GB SDHC microSD May 12 02:21:02 just trying to look up the specs :) May 12 02:22:21 veremit: but was XHDC a typo for SDHC? May 12 02:22:26 I can look up the specs myself too May 12 02:22:52 what is odd is that my 128GB microSD cards have the SDHC logo on them and not SDXC May 12 02:22:55 probably May 12 02:23:00 and https://www.sdcard.org/developers/overview/capacity/ May 12 02:23:08 ^ this shows that SDHC only supports up to 32GB May 12 02:23:13 there's an sdxc maybe May 12 02:23:20 although, I did get my microSD cards on ebay May 12 02:23:23 ah May 12 02:23:34 so perhaps they were from an off-the-wall manufacturer May 12 02:23:40 they were really cheap too May 12 02:23:53 let me try 32GB, laters May 12 02:24:04 and if 32GB doesn't work, I'll try 16GB May 12 02:24:16 I can live with 16GB, but 32GB would be perfect May 12 02:24:26 I just got 128GB for the price thinking I would get more space for less May 12 02:24:47 oh well, I do have a phone, and a tablet, that may work with the 128GB May 12 02:29:34 :) May 12 02:29:46 most likely a duff card .. second most likely .. too big :p May 12 02:29:57 I can't find the spec for the SDIO yet .. but its there in the docs somewhere .. lol **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 12 02:59:59 2015
