**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jun 04 02:59:59 2015 Jun 04 04:05:53 can this be true that beaglebone black is for pro while rasperry pi is for diy Jun 04 04:06:17 i mean, that bbb is way way better than pi Jun 04 04:08:21 the pi is also irrational Jun 04 04:08:46 ok, like in what way? Jun 04 04:51:27 it is pi afterall... Jun 04 09:14:46 Hello. Jun 04 09:15:53 Can the Mini B device port on the BBB be used for emulating the insertion of a CD or DVD, given an ISO file in a mounted filesystem? Jun 04 09:17:14 Or the insertion of a writable mass storage device given a writable block device image? Jun 04 09:19:57 yes/yes Jun 04 09:20:05 Cool. Jun 04 09:20:14 Is it easy? Jun 04 09:20:40 the default images use just that Jun 04 09:20:40 What commands/tools would I use? Jun 04 09:22:16 you'd use kernel modules from the 'gadget' group g_multi g_mass_storage or such Jun 04 09:23:06 If I want to emulate say ~/GNU+Linux ISOs/nixos-graphical-15.06pre62649.f93a8ee-i686-linux.iso to a plugged-in x86 laptop? Jun 04 09:23:14 How would I do it? Jun 04 09:23:23 Okay. Jun 04 09:23:41 So I'll lookup the documentation for those. Jun 04 09:24:41 "how do I use g_mass_storage iso cdrom" feed that to a search engine Jun 04 09:30:56 tbr: I'm finding various mentions and specific problems involving this, but do kernel modules actually have a central place for documentation? I'm looking for something more like a manual page, or wiki maybe. Jun 04 09:31:26 I can't find the gadget module documentation. Jun 04 09:32:29 Aah... Jun 04 09:32:45 https://www.kernel.org/doc/ ? Jun 04 09:32:46 This looks useful: http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html Jun 04 09:37:04 run this command in a shell on your BBB: modinfo g_mass_storage Jun 04 09:37:12 that will tell you the actual options etc Jun 04 09:44:39 tbr: ‘modinfo g_mass_storage’ works from my NixOS laptop too, which is convenient. Jun 04 09:45:29 It's also good to know that when I get NixOS working on my BBB, it'll support this functionality out-of-the-box! Jun 04 09:45:30 yeah, although if the kernel version differs, some options might be different Jun 04 09:45:37 Sure. Jun 04 09:46:02 But I actually, ultimately, intend to replace the existing distro with NixOS. Jun 04 09:46:53 But I need to get better ARM support in NixOS, either by me doing it or by persuading others to help me. :-/ Jun 04 09:49:37 I want NixOS to be ported to work on the BBB, and then maintained. I don't think that I can port it, but I should be able to maintain it if I get the hang of it. :-) Jun 04 10:17:13 I think I'll want something like this: Jun 04 10:17:20 modprobe --first-time g_mass_storage removable=1 ro=1 file=~/GNU+Linux\ ISOs/nixos-graphical-15.06pre62649.f93a8ee-i686-linux.iso Jun 04 10:17:41 Though I haven't tried it yet. Jun 04 10:18:49 I'll try it later when I next restart my laptop and let you / this channel know if it works. Jun 04 10:23:35 JamesJRH: note that by default there is a module of g_multi exposing mass storage, serial and network Jun 04 11:06:02 tbr: Hmm, would that conflict? I'd quite like USB CDC Ethernet too. Jun 04 11:09:06 JamesJRH: then you should just modify the config to expose your ISO instead of one of the partitions Jun 04 11:24:35 tbr: Which config is this? Jun 04 11:43:39 JamesJRH: no idea. I'd expect you can either find it by looking through the FS or by looking at RCN's repositories and image build instructions Jun 04 11:49:01 Tried to clean up my BBB with Debian. Removing wicd prevents eth0 to come up automatically on dhcp. Is wicd really necessary for DHCP to work? Jun 04 14:31:02 hi guys Jun 04 14:31:37 I need to build u-boot and kernel for beagle board..version C3. May I know any yocto env porting guide? Jun 04 14:31:52 also, I need to have QT 4.8 Jun 04 14:32:02 so yocto is preferable Jun 04 15:09:29 Newbe - Just getting BB View (4.3 inch) LCD connected. Stuck on "Automatic Login" screen. What do I do? Jun 04 15:09:53 Using BBB with BB View Jun 04 15:11:06 I am following chapter 7 of element14 instructions. Jun 04 15:11:33 Chapter 7 "Demonstration and Compilation of Angstrom" Jun 04 15:34:59 Newbie - Using BBB with BB View LCD Cape. Stuck on "Automatic Login" screen of element14's BB View. How do I go from here? Jun 04 15:36:36 Connected to PC via USB cable. Jun 04 15:43:02 whatever "BB View" is Jun 04 15:43:23 maybe you should seek help from Element14 if that's something they cooked up Jun 04 15:44:39 BB View is a LCD Expansion Cape for BeagleBone Family it is a display of 480 x 200 (about). Jun 04 15:45:29 Thanks TBR, I am trying to follow element14 instructions, but I think I am too new at this Linux stuff. Jun 04 15:46:09 CTDeveloper: what image are you running on the board anyway? Jun 04 15:47:00 I am excited to see the LCD display operational at this point. I updated with the tdb files supplied by element14. Jun 04 15:48:24 That is, dtb files Jun 04 15:49:08 xf86-input-tslib_0.0.6-r17.1_armv7a-vfp-neon.ipk file Jun 04 15:51:27 BeagleBone Black is Rev A5A Jun 04 15:52:36 Board is running Angstrom Jun 04 15:54:08 I can reconfigure the board to use external 5 volt power with a separate keyboard and mouse. Jun 04 15:57:40 Now I see menu on top showing Applications, Places, and System. with screen showing icons for Computer, etc. Jun 04 16:06:04 Hello, after quite a bit of searching, I'm not able to find a satisfying answer on the latest w/r/t the 'CAUTION: musb: Babble Interrupt Occurred', nor have I seen a consistent cause to this issue. Using 3.8.13-bone70 kernel. Can anyone give feedback on whether there is a working solution to this? Thanks. Jun 04 16:12:06 hello, looking for help on ttyO4 serial Jun 04 16:12:29 I have the following working Jun 04 16:12:45 cat datafile >/dev/ttyO4 Jun 04 16:12:57 cat /dev/ttyO2 Jun 04 16:13:16 where ttyO4 is connected to ttyO2 Jun 04 16:13:39 however, can't seem to write a c program to read Jun 04 16:14:16 something about forcing the write buffer to flush Jun 04 16:30:23 Hello! When I "cp" MLO&u-boot.img to /dev/sdX1 (1st FAT), the BBB does not boot from MMC0 (I can see "CCCC's" on UART). However, when I "dd" MLO&u-boot.img to /dev/sdX the BBB boots just fine. Can you explain that? Jun 04 16:35:06 Karlsson: it might be that the FAT partition isn't formatted properly (marked bootable, etc.) Jun 04 16:35:16 The 'dd' is more reliable. Jun 04 16:38:55 jkinder: Thank you! You are right, the 1st partition was not marked as boot. It works now. Jun 04 18:15:52 jkridner, xz -1 failed, now trying gzip.. ;) Jun 04 18:16:04 k. :( Jun 04 18:16:31 it did get farther then #597.. Jun 04 18:42:46 jkridner, this is top of the c9-core tree for me: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=24085 Jun 04 18:44:02 and the error in journal: https://gist.github.com/RobertCNelson/240114261f9b63df0c87 Jun 04 18:44:12 here is the build: http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/farm/testing/c9-core_3.0.1+git20150603-build.tar.xz Jun 04 19:38:03 opening the image. Jun 04 19:57:22 * Abhishek_ is downloading the Jessie image Jun 04 19:57:49 rcn-ee: Any way to turn lxqt image into console image w/out reflashing image? Jun 04 19:58:36 sudo apt-get remove .... Jun 04 19:59:01 remove what? Jun 04 20:00:26 oh you want a list... first dump package list: dpkg --list > lxqt.list, then flash the console, dpkg --list > console.list, then reinstall lxqt image... compare the two lists and remove the extra. ;) Jun 04 20:06:15 rcn-ee: I just want lxqt not to load at boot (and disable HDMI) as well Jun 04 20:06:27 it's okay if the packages are not installed Jun 04 20:06:32 *still installed Jun 04 20:08:20 disable lightdm.. Jun 04 20:10:02 rcn-ee: And use a different dtb? Jun 04 20:10:39 which kernel? Jun 04 20:15:08 rcn-ee: which one's on the jessie snapshot? Jun 04 20:15:28 3.14 Jun 04 20:15:37 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Capes_3.8_to_3.14 Jun 04 21:58:32 rcn-ee: that image does not look happy Jun 04 21:58:58 a Happy image?! Jun 04 21:59:06 rcn-ee: Chrome? Jun 04 21:59:10 how does an image have an expression :p Jun 04 21:59:28 veremit: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=24085 looks a bit sad Jun 04 21:59:44 jkridner, i've narroed it down to: https://github.com/c9/core/commit/9e1bb472c6e671bba702dc8824526632f90af89d Jun 04 22:00:21 now i'm just working my back back to master, as my git good (april) git bad (today) still has issues.. Jun 04 22:00:29 hmm .. that's not happy .. that's just .. Bad. Jun 04 22:07:05 jkridner, i have 4 reverts, but i'm still in the month where they wanted to force install nodejs: 0.12 (so it's ugly) Jun 04 22:07:18 :( Jun 04 22:08:01 the good news, master likes 0.10.x & 0.12.x, it's just mine field between where i am an master. ;) Jun 04 23:00:48 jkridner: How do I disable HDMI from loading on 4.1.x kernels? Jun 05 01:25:04 Just received my first BeagleBoneBlack. Would like to install Ubuntu 15.04 server on it. Looking at this page http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm but I have no idea if I'm even poking in the right place. Jun 05 01:25:26 Where should I be looking to figure out how to correctly install Ubuntu on my BBB? Jun 05 01:30:42 StephaneCharette: these are ARMv8 images--the BBB is ARMv7 Jun 05 01:30:55 ok Jun 05 01:30:56 You won't be able to install this on the BBB Jun 05 01:32:25 StephaneCharette: have you seen this page and read the resources linked to? http://beagleboard.org/project/ubuntu/ Jun 05 01:36:46 yes. That mostly leads to this page: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu Jun 05 01:38:26 what is OMAP? Jun 05 01:40:28 other question: can an OS only be installed via micro SD? Or can I install a new OS directly to the on board memory? Jun 05 01:44:07 StephaneCharette: OMAP is the type of SoC that the BBB has. OS can be installed on the eMMC on the board, but it takes a bit of work Jun 05 01:48:30 so I would download this image onto my desktop: wget https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/2015-05-08/ubuntu-14.04.2-console-armhf-2015-05-08.tar.xz Jun 05 01:48:30 unpack it (e.g., fileroller) and dd it onto a microsd card Jun 05 01:48:30 then boot the bbb with it which will get me into Ubuntu? Jun 05 01:48:30 But I'm confused as to how to get Ubuntu onto the eMMC so it overwrites the default Debian image Jun 05 02:03:44 ok, makes a bit more sense after I unpacked the image. Now running the script: sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdd --dtb beaglebone Jun 05 02:28:54 Newbie - Using BeagleBone Black (BBB) with element14 BB View 4.3 inch LCD Cape.
