**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 13 02:59:59 2015 Jun 13 03:17:13 hmm Jun 13 08:06:10 u-boot stuck on beaglebone black at Starting kernel ... Jun 13 08:06:29 i have appended the dtb with the zImage Jun 13 08:07:02 i have compiled the kernel with omap2plus_defconfig Jun 13 08:07:14 Jun 13 08:10:08 sounds rather like uboot works fine but your kernel doesn't boot or doesn't produce output Jun 13 08:10:26 a) make sure you have the console right on your cmdline Jun 13 08:10:40 i have enabled EARLY_printk Jun 13 08:11:16 console=/dev/ttyO0 Jun 13 08:20:09 can anyone please give me your uEnv.txt for beaglebone black Jun 13 08:21:09 my u-boot gets stuck at Starting kernel ... Jun 13 08:21:32 i have appended the zImage with the dtb Jun 13 08:21:48 and have built the kernel with omap2plus Jun 13 08:22:52 Jun 13 12:22:31 hi Jun 13 12:36:23 there is someone? Jun 13 12:48:42 no .. Jun 13 12:48:52 :D Jun 13 12:49:51 only you exist. ( http://www.madore.org/~david/misc/totipsism.html ) Jun 13 12:54:58 I am a figment of your imaginary number! Jun 13 17:04:59 I'm attempting to do some I/O on the BBBlack. I'm using Debian 3.8.13-bone70. I'm reading through Derek Molloy's "Exploring Beaglebone". In his pwm setups, he mentions "bone_pwm_P9_22" and "am33xx_pwm " being in /lib/firmware. I don't have those files in my BB. Is there somewhere I can get them? Jun 13 18:50:23 No. And Derek Molloy's stuff is almost certainly very out-of-date with current bbb setups .. oh you couldn't be bothered to hang aruond for an answer .. *** you then XD Jun 14 01:25:03 I'm running a BBB with the latest ubuntu image. I added some things to my uEnv.txt but they did not load. Do I need to configure anything to enable running those commands or is there a way to look for errors that may have occurred? Jun 14 01:29:31 which uEnv did you modify (sounds like a stupid question .. but there are often two .. and only one is read ..!) Jun 14 01:30:57 veremit, I modified /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt Jun 14 01:31:19 hmm never known a /boot/uboot .. lol Jun 14 01:31:34 do a 'mount' ? Jun 14 01:31:45 veremit, that file existed and had several lines already in it Jun 14 01:31:50 should be just /boot/uEnv.txt or possibly somethine else Jun 14 01:31:57 veremit, mount by itself with no arguments? Jun 14 01:32:10 ocamlman .. yes I've seen several setups with multiple uenv all with lines in them .. Jun 14 01:32:16 and have modified the wrong one before myself :D Jun 14 01:33:09 ocamlman .. yes 'mount' alone will tell you which filesystems are mounted where Jun 14 01:33:17 veremit, my /boot contains only the initrd-img and a directory uboot Jun 14 01:33:48 'cat /proc/cmdline' may also give you a hint what the kernel command-line being ran is .. eg. where rootfs is, any module options .. Jun 14 01:34:06 mount output: http://pastebin.com/hVR5v62Y Jun 14 01:34:13 .. this usually matches any uEnv parameters normally Jun 14 01:34:55 ocamlman .. ah I see .. yes, the boot partition is mounted under /boot/uboot .. so that makes sense Jun 14 01:35:13 so /boot/uboot/uEnv shoujd be executed Jun 14 01:35:20 ahem,... read :) Jun 14 01:36:10 veremit, no .txt? Jun 14 01:36:28 the only thing I can think of, is to 'catch' uboot, by pressing a key at boot when the prompt comes up (debug console if needed) .. and I think you can load the uEnv file there .. but I dunno whether there's any error reporting Jun 14 01:36:37 uEnv.txt yes Jun 14 01:36:43 <= lazy typist Jun 14 01:37:14 and tired lol Jun 14 01:37:29 what options are you changing? Jun 14 01:37:35 ^ ocamlman Jun 14 01:38:15 veremit, for example, i added: cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-UART1 Jun 14 01:38:49 ocamlman .. what kernel are you running .. the newer ones don't support the capemgr afaik .. Jun 14 01:38:52 veremit, but as you can see, it wasn't added: http://pastebin.com/HjBKF6Tx Jun 14 01:39:29 ah Jun 14 01:40:26 should that be 'BBB-UART1' or ... you may need to check in /lib/firmware .. Jun 14 01:40:35 veremit, BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-05-14 Jun 14 01:41:30 veremit, echo BB-UART1 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots -- works Jun 14 01:41:40 veremit, ive noticed that the above command only works under su, not sudo Jun 14 01:42:31 yes, you cannot echo with sudo .. you'd need to sudo -c "echo ....etc because the permissions only apply to the echo NOT to the redirection :) Jun 14 01:42:58 ah, gotcha Jun 14 01:43:42 yeah there's a way .. I've used it .. Jun 14 01:43:55 ocamlman .. check over .. http://tinkernow.com/2015/01/beaglebone-black-rs232-uart-setup/ .. just googled .. Jun 14 01:44:27 looks equivalent Jun 14 01:48:42 ok I gotta sleep .. my eyes goin sore .. good luck .. bb tom. Just found an rs485 article .. ^^ .. nini Jun 14 01:49:22 veremit, thanks for the help Jun 14 01:49:46 ocamlman .. if you can post 'uname -a' result .. someone might be able to pick up :) Jun 14 01:49:54 * veremit afk **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 14 02:59:58 2015
