**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 26 02:59:58 2015 Jun 26 03:12:33 hi. anybody know how change screen resolution for Android on BeagleboneBlack? Jun 26 05:17:57 Hi good mng to all !!! Jun 26 05:19:45 how to change timing parameters for 1024x768 @50Hz resolution.. Jun 26 05:20:09 for HDMI Jun 26 05:21:00 kernel command-line in uEnv.txt .. or use the appropriate switch to calc timings internally Jun 26 05:21:41 its either 'M' or 'R' after the bit-depth on the modeline parameter Jun 26 05:22:46 thanks for reply Jun 26 05:22:55 @veremit Jun 26 05:23:26 but there is a calculator for timing parameters Jun 26 05:23:55 but 1024@768@50Hz parameter is not there Jun 26 05:24:13 i wnat to change 50Hz refresh rate.. Jun 26 05:24:39 it is possible ? Jun 26 05:27:15 if you have to manually set the timings, you'll have to do it in the configs somewhere .. dunno where it is with device-tree .. probably there Jun 26 05:27:45 otherwise .. its the 'M' in 1024x600M@60 Jun 26 05:28:11 right .. I need a quick doze before I go out .. bbl Jun 26 05:29:42 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/display-timing.txt might help Jun 26 05:29:45 ok .. gone! Jun 26 05:30:52 thanks for the info Jun 26 05:31:19 so by using device tree i can change refresh rate ? Jun 26 05:31:37 with linux it is possible Jun 26 05:31:43 ? Jun 26 05:54:41 hi there, anybody here? Jun 26 05:54:58 I have beaglebone black (rev C) and am trying to perform firmware update procedure Jun 26 05:55:12 nope. 255 people are an illusion. aint nobody here... Jun 26 05:55:14 unfortunately it does not start Jun 26 05:55:29 so is there a way I can trigger firmware update procedure from serial console? Jun 26 05:55:40 or maybe change grub command line, so on the next boot it will do the job? Jun 26 05:55:44 so, you're following the instruction? Jun 26 05:55:57 tbr: yes, I tried with the button like 10 times already Jun 26 05:56:04 what are you doing, describe your exact steps Jun 26 05:56:31 tbr: I have a OS on the SD (I know it works, because I can boot off SD and have debian 2015-03) Jun 26 05:56:58 tbr: I hold down the 'BOOT' button, apply 5V/2A power, wait with button down until 4 leds go on and then +5sec Jun 26 05:57:06 tbr: then I let the button off Jun 26 05:57:19 tbr: then I connect USB cable, open up serial console and do 'top' Jun 26 05:57:36 tbr: no 'cp' nor anything like that happening Jun 26 06:00:03 Xz: can you verify if that's the system on the SD card or if it boots from eMMC? Jun 26 06:03:18 tbr: yes, SD card in: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux Jun 26 06:03:24 tbr: SD card out: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone47 #1 SMP Fri Apr 11 01:36:09 UTC 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux Jun 26 06:04:11 Xz: and you're sure you used an image marked 'flasher'? Jun 26 06:04:32 tbr: nope, I don't know what 'flasher' image is Jun 26 06:04:51 tbr: I got the board off my friend - no idea what is on eMMC right now if that matters Jun 26 06:04:52 so what's the name of the image you wrote to the SD card? Jun 26 06:06:43 tbr: bone-debian-7.8-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-03-01-4gb.img Jun 26 06:07:31 yeah, that's just a regular image. it will boot and will run just fine. from the SD card. Jun 26 06:07:35 tbr: I took that image from http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm (Debian) Jun 26 06:07:59 tbr: so you are saying there is no chance I can put that image onto eMMC ? Jun 26 06:08:15 if you want to replace the eMMC content, then you'll need to use an image named "flasher" (or the flasher script might be on the image you have but needs manual run, dunno) Jun 26 06:11:19 tbr: find | grep flasher give few results, e.g. /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh Jun 26 06:12:05 that looks like the one you should try, probably as root Jun 26 06:14:22 tbr: ok, will play with these Jun 26 06:14:35 tbr: it's weird that the button does not trigger uSD->eMMC transfer Jun 26 06:15:06 tbr: I understand bootloader detects the button, so it should do the job regardless of actual eMMC content Jun 26 06:17:09 Xz: you are misunderstanding the button. the button makes the device prefer boot from SD, that's all it Jun 26 06:17:44 tbr: o really? I thought the button was supposed to kick-off eMMC update Jun 26 06:17:52 no Jun 26 06:18:04 it's a boot priority selector Jun 26 06:18:20 if you want to know more, read up in the SRM and TRM about SYSBOOT Jun 26 06:18:31 tbr: in my case it always boot off SD, no matter of the button state :o Jun 26 06:21:06 Xz: what likely happens is that you have a quite old U-Boot on the eMMC. The device actually boots MLO and U-Boot from the eMMC, but then finds the SD-card and decides to use that kernel and rootfs Jun 26 06:21:22 so technically it boots from eMMC Jun 26 06:21:40 ok, I got you Jun 26 06:22:36 those things can be confusing Jun 26 06:29:32 tbr: ok, I played with scripts - they didn't do the job Jun 26 06:29:38 tbr: they started doing something, but didn't finish Jun 26 06:29:46 tbr: probably because I was booted off SD Jun 26 06:29:58 tbr: now board does not boot from eMMC anymore :) Jun 26 06:30:04 tbr: I love these Jun 26 06:30:12 Xz: then get an image with flasher in the file name Jun 26 06:30:19 tbr: it still boots from SD though Jun 26 06:30:26 tbr: ok, will look for one Jun 26 06:30:53 note, that flashing takes 10-20 minutes and same for first boot Jun 26 06:31:09 so device is not dead, especially if leds are showing activity Jun 26 06:34:51 tbr: I have flasher on uSD card, now do I just do the 'button' case? Jun 26 06:36:16 yes Jun 26 07:05:57 Xz: checkout this: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Flashing_eMMC Jun 26 07:09:15 normal image from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images can also be used to Flash the eMMC, follow the instruction, uncomment the script line. Plug the MicroSD card to your BBB board, power on while holding the BOOT button. You will observe the 4 LEDS blink beautifully to indicate it is flashing. The BBB board will auto power off when the flashing finish. Jun 26 09:14:13 The ethernet port on my BBB has died - anyone know how to fix it? Jun 26 09:15:27 how did you make sure it died? Jun 26 09:16:48 because I used to be able to ping www.bbc.co.uk and now it saysthat's unknown Jun 26 09:23:21 peter___: probably your connection died. can you ping the BBB address from within your lan? Jun 26 09:35:00 I can ping the BBB but not sure how useful that is because I've got IP over USB and I'm using Putty to do ping Jun 26 09:39:09 you have to connect with a pc to the same ethernet network the BBB is connected to, then try to ping the BBB address. USB connection must not be involved in such tests Jun 26 09:39:46 another useful test is to ping the gateway from the BBB Jun 26 09:40:34 type 'ip route show' at the bbb prompt, then pick the address in the line starting with "default" (usually the first). this is the gateway address Jun 26 09:48:26 hi Jun 26 09:48:40 can one give idea to get gpmc clock Jun 26 09:50:27 jithendra: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruh73 Jun 26 10:00:17 Hi KotH ,I studied that TRM, I configured THose registers as per TRm,but I didnt get Clock out Jun 26 10:00:43 you probably forgot the pinmux Jun 26 10:01:41 Even I set DTS file also, Jun 26 10:04:49 yes, but somethign does not work. so you either did something wrong, or forgot something Jun 26 10:04:55 check again until you found it Jun 26 10:05:56 KotH: Jun 26 10:06:19 do you know the command to reset the emmc Jun 26 10:06:52 beacuse i asked this question with TI employe,he gave this suggestion Jun 26 10:07:16 but i didnt find command to reset the emmc at uboot Jun 26 10:09:03 i dont know what "this suggestion" is, neither why it does not work. i also do not know every register of the am355x Jun 26 10:14:28 OK - Ping works from another PC on my network for www.BBC.co.uk but not for BBB address Jun 26 10:15:37 peter___: can the bbb reach the gateway, then? Jun 26 10:16:30 samael - 'ip route show' gives the standard BBB address 192.168.7.2 Jun 26 10:17:30 I get 'Destination net unreachable' Jun 26 10:17:37 pls make a paste of the entire command output then (e.g. by using paste.debian.net) Jun 26 10:19:15 sorry, don't understand paste Jun 26 10:20:57 peter___: just copy the whole output of 'ip route show' command into the text box you find on http://paste.debian.net , then submit and link the address here Jun 26 10:22:06 Ping may be working (sort of). I get: 'ping statistics for 192.168.7.2: 'reply from 62.3.84.21: destination net unreachable' Jun 26 10:23:06 then 'Ping statistics for 192.168.7.2: Packets sent = 4, Received 3, lost = 1' Jun 26 10:24:42 that's not the address you should ping. seems your bbb network configuration is messed up (and seeing your routing table would possibly confirm this, that's why i was asking). how did you make the network configuration? Jun 26 10:26:18 samael: 'i92.168.7.0/30 dev usb 0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.7.2 Jun 26 10:27:52 samael - I just plugged the ethernet cable into the BBB socket to connect it to my router. As I remember when it first arrived it would ping the BBC Jun 26 10:28:01 peter___: if this is the whole output of the command, then it's normal that your bbb does not reach the internet Jun 26 10:29:12 peter___: it should have taken an address from you dhcp server then, and now it seems unable to. did you try to reboot your bbb? Jun 26 10:41:49 samael - I've only recently turned it on - but I can boot again I suppose - shd I press the boot button? Jun 26 11:03:50 peter___: if you're logged in as root, just type 'reboot' and press enter Jun 26 11:33:49 samael - ok done reboot Jun 26 11:34:52 samael - I have togo out soon - i'd be very grateful for your help - can I email you later on? Jun 26 11:37:55 samael - ip route show is the same as before Jun 26 11:47:22 peter___: issue the command 'ip addr show dev eth0' on the bbb. in the first line you have some uppercase values enclosed in angular brackets. does it show UP and LOWER_UP there? Jun 26 13:03:08 Hello I am curious to find the base register's address for TSC registers. I think I am unable to find that value in TRM of AM335X. I only see the offset values' for each register. Jun 26 13:04:31 It would be great if I can have help :) Jun 26 13:23:05 KotH: May I ? Jun 26 13:23:40 ketul: sure, you may send me a bar of good swiss chocolate Jun 26 13:24:14 :) Jun 26 14:08:02 samael: issue the command 'ip addr show dev eth0' on the bbb. does it show UP and LOWER_UP there? No Jun 26 14:18:00 peter___: none of them? Jun 26 14:22:27 neither UP nor LOWER_UP Jun 26 14:23:53 samael: I can copy type the whole thing if you like Jun 26 14:26:04 are the leds on the ethernet connector on or blinking? check your cable and connection then Jun 26 14:27:04 2: etho: ntu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 54:4a:16:bd:a4:82 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Jun 26 14:28:37 steady amber at BBB end, steady green on router Jun 26 14:31:45 when I touched the ethernet socket Putty went down. I'll have to reboot the PC to get it up again Jun 26 15:17:09 peter___: what are your ethernet network address and netmask? Jun 26 15:26:48 how would I find out? Jun 26 15:32:34 peter___: by check your modem/router settings, or the one on your pc, or ask to your network administrator Jun 26 15:34:59 s/check/checking/ Jun 26 15:35:41 peter___: anyway i think if you want to be able to solve such problems you should reach at least a basic proficiency level about networks and network configuration on debian Jun 26 15:37:39 sadly, I'm the network administrator. IP: 192.168.1.68, default gateway 192.168.1.254 Jun 26 15:39:14 i guess your network is 192.168.1.0/24, then. Jun 26 15:39:36 true, but I bought BBB for a specific purpose and I expect it to work as delivered Jun 26 15:40:11 peter___: try to enter this command as root, and then try to ping 192.168.1.254: ip address add 192.168.1.42/24 dev eth0 Jun 26 15:40:39 (just ensure that 192.168.1.42 is not in use, or just use a free one) Jun 26 15:41:00 I'm looking at the output of ipconfig /all and I don't see that, but you may be right. Jun 26 15:41:39 ping 192.168.1.254 Jun 26 15:41:57 i see, but i deem difficult to determine if the bbb actually works as delivered with the knowledge you show :) Jun 26 15:43:02 I have to reboot the PC to get Putty working again Jun 26 15:43:28 why this? Jun 26 15:54:22 samael - sorry, I had to reboot and I've lost you messages. what did you want me to ping? Jun 26 16:15:13 peter___: the gateway is a good test. and/or your pc address Jun 26 17:26:21 hey Jun 26 17:27:02 hi Jun 26 17:27:40 any one is der Jun 26 17:28:18 go ahead and ask questions about your project and wait patiently for a response... Jun 26 17:32:11 ... or not Jun 26 17:38:16 can anyone could help me with the emmc flashing ? Jun 26 17:39:14 yeah flash flashing image to micrsod card boot board wait for it to finish Jun 26 17:40:06 So I need to build the latest 4.0 kernel but need to figure out what was included in the current kernel. I do not mean the config, but overlay wise what was added as I need the pru to work etc as it does now with the image I am running Jun 26 17:47:38 mistawright, overlay is only in 4.1+... Jun 26 17:48:28 ps, i've had some requests, since "v4.0.x" had been replaced by "v4.1.x", i've brought "v4.0.x" back as an RT enabled option.. Jun 26 17:50:53 rcn-ee, this is the kernel i am running: Linux arm 4.0.4-rt1-bone4 I got the image from the bbbmini github as I have been trying to get ardupilot going until I amass all the hardware for a quadcopter Jun 26 17:51:41 rcn-ee, so I am not sure if I would need to include the bbbmini overlay or if it is already present and will work with the ardupilot Jun 26 17:52:15 mistawright, when last i checked, i think bbmini from there is custom *.dtb... Jun 26 17:53:06 rcn-ee, I am not sure if the pru firmware specifically is there. If I wanted to see what was included in the kernel I am running for the dtb etc where would I look? Jun 26 17:53:21 "Devicetree for the BBBMINI is already loaded at startup." yeah it's custom .;) Jun 26 17:53:59 mistawright, first check the serial log, u-boot is pretty vocal about what it loads. ;) Jun 26 17:54:31 (or i could cheat and take look. ;) ) Jun 26 17:59:50 I like cheating. I think I need to replace my serial cable as I never seem to get keyboard input from it anymore to my beaglebone black Jun 26 18:02:14 dl-ed and writing to card... Jun 26 18:03:20 rcn-ee, thanks, your another reason the beaglebone black is better than the raspberry pi ;) Jun 26 18:04:39 i've only powered my rasberry pi once, for a second, and my rpi 2 has never been plugged in. ;) Jun 26 18:04:52 +1 rcn-ee Jun 26 18:05:55 I don't think I'll get a pi 2 even .. Jun 26 18:06:59 i am interested in the odroid c1 but only to use with navio if I buy the board. but thoroughly satisfied with my beaglebone black. My odroid u3 may be more powerful but it doesnt provide near enough IO pins like the beaglebone black Jun 26 18:08:21 my next arm board was gonna be .. erm .. yeah the odroid Jun 26 18:08:41 but for IO/connectivity .. can't beat the BBB Jun 26 18:08:48 except for musb, eh rcn-ee :p Jun 26 18:09:02 pity nobody's run a gigabit phy version yet :/ Jun 26 18:09:06 that'd be cool Jun 26 18:09:47 didn't the am335x-ice have gb eth? Jun 26 18:09:57 dunno Jun 26 18:10:45 http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdsice3359 i think it did.. Jun 26 18:11:47 The ICE V1.0 EVM has two 10/100 Ethernet transceivers (TLK110) interfaced to connectors J2 & J3 Jun 26 18:12:46 ah, marketting tricked me again "2-port GbE switch" ;) Jun 26 18:13:29 yea that's the processor specs Jun 26 18:18:05 hi, I just screw the image on my board, is there a howto to restore? Jun 26 18:20:14 ljose, reflash.. Jun 26 18:20:28 mistawright, looks like they patched am335x-boneblack.dtb... time to decompile Jun 26 18:22:04 rcn-ee: I load a new image in micro SD, push boot button, connect USB power, and leds has been blinkin for about 1 hour Jun 26 18:22:07 should I wait more? Jun 26 18:23:36 mistawright, looks like they disabled i2c, enabled usarts and pruss: https://paste.debian.net/261668/ Jun 26 18:23:52 ljose, no, it takes about 5mins/gb.. Jun 26 18:23:59 what image are you trying to flash (file name) Jun 26 18:25:03 rcn-ee: bone-debian-7.8-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-03-01-4gb.img.xz Jun 26 18:25:44 ljose, okay, that's not a flasher.. it's been runing from the microSD for the last hour, waiting for you to "use it".. ;) Jun 26 18:26:15 where can I get one flasher? Jun 26 18:26:50 from: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images look at: "For testing, flasher and other Debian images, see http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian" Jun 26 18:27:00 click on : http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian Jun 26 18:27:24 then: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2015-03-01 and select the image you want.. Jun 26 18:28:13 all "flasher's" have the prefix: "BBB-eMMC-flasher-*" ;) Jun 26 18:29:11 rcn-ee, would i be able to compile the kernel with the necessary items then and copy the the dtb used? I really am just trying to build some drivers for my 80211ac usb wireless adapter Jun 26 18:29:53 mistawright, i'm adding the *.dtb to my dtb-rebuilder. .;) just got to boot it and steal his *.config options, encase that changed too.. Jun 26 18:30:26 i'll push it to this repo: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/tree/am33x-v4.0 Jun 26 18:30:40 just gota run out to pickup lunch, be back in a bit.. Jun 26 18:31:17 rcn-ee, so is there no pru firmware necessary for the way things are setup? his build instructions mentioned firmware before he put up his own image. Jun 26 18:31:30 rcn-ee, no prob, thanks for the help will be here when you get back Jun 26 18:32:11 mistawright, i don't see a direct firmware name in the dts: https://paste.debian.net/261668/ Jun 26 18:32:28 but the pruss might pick one by default.. i'll see what it does on bootup.. Jun 26 18:33:30 rcn-ee, thanks, in no rush enjoy lunch Jun 26 18:33:51 humm: dmesg | grep pru -> [ 5.968324] pruss_uio 4a300000.pruss: No children Jun 26 18:34:08 so they are doing something later in user-space.. kernel doesn't seem to do it.. Jun 26 18:34:52 got ya thanks Jun 26 19:44:52 Hello all in Beagle land. Have a question. When on a new beaglebone that hasn't been ran before. When using bonescript and calling pinmode for the first time it ALWAYS fails to load the device tree. Second time ran it is successful. Any reason for this? Jun 26 19:47:08 Could this be because bonescript is generating the device tree for the first time and is then trying to load the not created yet device tree? Jun 26 19:52:04 sounds like a race condition .. Jun 26 20:07:41 Hi, Is PL2303HX usb to ttl compatible with beagle bone black Rev C? not sure what cable should I buy Jun 26 20:08:51 I think that's just USB->rs232 .. NOT TTL (ie. 3v3) Jun 26 20:08:58 or is it .. Jun 26 20:09:27 ljose: as long as it's 3.3v you should be fine Jun 26 20:09:48 scratch that .. its a not-ftdi... go for it. Jun 26 20:09:50 most bog-standard USB-UART adapters are 5v unless they say otherwise Jun 26 20:11:56 This is the only one in my local store, http://www.cetronic.es/sqlcommerce/disenos/plantilla1/seccion/producto/DetalleProducto.jsp?idIdioma=&idTienda=93&codProducto=151346007&cPath=1342 Jun 26 20:12:01 but seems is 5v Jun 26 20:12:31 go online .. :p Jun 26 20:14:17 I haven't found one that ships to Spain :( Jun 26 20:17:35 adafruit or amazon won't .. isn't there a spanish amazon!?

Jun 26 21:26:39 Hi I just installed, wheezy from BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-7.8-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-03-01-4gb.img, Is there a crostoll chain available that I can use in Ubuntu or Debian? Jun 26 21:27:01 I trying to build a large library and building in the board will be too slow Jun 26 21:27:11 do you want crosscompile on the bbb?

Jun 26 21:36:41 jsut no one has setup a readme/wiki fully documeenting it.. Jun 26 21:38:56 and there isn't other debian image for which a cross tool chain is already available and stable?

Jun 26 22:11:59 no .. check the sticker on the p8/9 header for which version you got .. 95% sure its printed. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 27 02:59:58 2015
