**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 29 02:59:58 2015 Jun 29 07:13:58 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/beaglecore/beaglecore-100-open-source-iot-device Jun 29 07:15:40 Hello everybody! :) Did somebody work with MS5803-14BA pressure sensor from Sparkfun? The sensor communicates through i2c. On the Beaglebone Black the i2c bus on pins P9_19 and P20 are enabled, so i tried to use them. Theoretically if the sensor connections are correct, from the Beaglebone's terminal with the command "i2cdetect" i should see the sensor's address on the memory map, but it doesn't appear on my board. Jun 29 07:15:56 av500, thats more than $9 ! Jun 29 07:15:58 :P Jun 29 07:16:40 The question is: How should i connect the sensor, to get his address on the i2c bus? Jun 29 07:18:22 Gizi: how did you enable I2C on P9_19/20? Jun 29 07:19:29 wrong i2c dev given to i2cdetect? Jun 29 07:24:52 It is enabled by default. on the pin layout it is i2c2 but in the system you see it in /dev as i2c1 Jun 29 07:25:12 I followed Derrek Molloy's guide Jun 29 07:35:33 thats funny, because I access these pins as /dev/i2c-2 Jun 29 10:33:05 hi all Jun 29 10:33:18 I have installed newest 4.1-bone9 kernel Jun 29 10:33:20 dmesg shows Jun 29 10:33:23 17.258754] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 17.263870] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 Jun 29 10:33:31 anybody knows how to cure that? Jun 29 10:34:43 have also this Jun 29 10:34:44 3.167461] omap_voltage_late_init: Voltage driver support not added Jun 29 10:34:53 anything? Jun 29 10:52:13 :) Jun 29 19:50:06 I have had my BBB in the car for a while. Pulled it out this weekend, powered it up, all of the LEDs light up as if it is working and running.... Jun 29 19:50:18 Plugged the HDMI into the big TV and no video. Jun 29 19:50:47 Plugged the USB into the computer and no connection. USB LED blinks for a moment after plug in but then goes off... Jun 29 19:50:56 Anybody seen this behaviour before ??? Jun 29 19:51:13 Also, no TCP/IP connection when plugged into my router Jun 29 19:51:36 Does the firmware sometimes go T/U ??? Jun 29 19:55:05 <_av500_> it should not Jun 29 19:55:25 <_av500_> you can always boot from a fresh SD install Jun 29 19:59:57 Yes, I suppose so. So, off hand I don't remember how to boot from the SD. Does it look there first ? Jun 29 20:01:04 Boot sequence starts from SD card ? Maybe USB stick secondly ? Jun 29 20:01:36 Time to find out I guess but I find it weird that it appears to be working except for the communications Jun 29 20:02:00 and HDMI but I forgot if I had to enable HDMI in the shell first for it to come alive Jun 29 21:43:09 hi Jun 29 21:43:32 I am a beginner with the beagle bone boards Jun 29 21:43:49 I'm working with linux as host Jun 29 21:44:05 and the BB is connected via USB Jun 29 21:44:32 I cannot see on the host the network device over USB Jun 29 21:44:47 can you advice which kernel options must be compiled in? Jun 29 21:45:50 I have already used CONFIG_USB_USBNET, CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER, CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_EEM, CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_NCM Jun 29 21:46:09 CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST and CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET Jun 29 21:46:45 but the networkd device doesnìt show up Jun 29 21:47:02 any ideas? Jun 29 21:56:48 Hey, I can access cloud9 and other stuff served by my beaglebone over USB, but when it appears the beaglebone itself can't connect to the internet. Running ping 8.8.8.8 shows that its not connected. I don't understand why this is, especially since I can access things (again, like cloud9) served by it. I'm running debian directly off of a microsd card. Can someone help me? Jun 29 22:41:48 beginner electronics newbie - i have a small acquarium pump with a coaxial power connector. i've snipped off the connector, stripped the wires and connected them to a 12V battery (of which it is printed on the pump 12V). the pump makes a short buzzing noise and does nothing else. what may be the issue? Jun 29 22:43:13 thisisanicknamem: you connecting to your bb is not the same as your bb having an internet connection. it simply means your bb knows about your internal network. Jun 29 22:43:34 how can I get it a connection? Jun 29 22:43:51 Also, moult, maybe the pump requires an AC current instead of DC Jun 29 22:46:21 thisisanicknamem: that's what i thought, seeing as the buzzing noise only occured on two occasions: upon first contact with the power source (subsequent recontact with the same polarity did not trigger it) and with switching the polarity Jun 29 22:46:49 thisisanicknamem: however, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector shows the type of connector i have, so i thought it would be DC Jun 29 22:47:18 hm Jun 29 22:47:49 thisisanicknamem: are you on a linux computer? Jun 29 22:47:55 Yes Jun 29 22:48:18 thisisanicknamem: basically 1) your bbb must be set up so that it knows it should use the usb0 interrface to go online, and that your host computer is the default internet gateway Jun 29 22:48:43 thisisanicknamem: and 2) your host computer should be allowed to share its internet connection (wlan0, eth0, whatever) over usb0 Jun 29 22:48:59 alright, I should be able to figure out how to do that on my own Jun 29 22:49:43 thisisanicknamem: http://robotic-controls.com/learn/beaglebone/beaglebone-internet-over-usb-only found this Jun 29 22:50:06 thanks Jun 29 22:50:36 Anyways, maybe the pump is getting a high enough voltage and not a high enough current. Does the bit that you would plug into the wall have any info on it? Jun 29 22:52:53 thisisanicknamem: 12V 50Hz 2W it says Jun 29 22:52:57 thisisanicknamem: 2W says quite large Jun 29 22:54:01 *sounds quite large Jun 29 22:54:47 yeah, that does sound really large Jun 29 22:55:12 but if thats what was working for it before, thats probably what you need Jun 29 22:57:59 thisisanicknamem: let me know if you work out the internet problem :) Jun 29 22:58:09 I will :) Jun 29 22:58:19 I'm just reinstalling Debian real quickly for unrelated stuff Jun 29 23:02:03 I'll be back soon Jun 29 23:09:14 Yeah! Internet is working now! Jun 29 23:09:38 Thanks Moult Jun 29 23:10:06 thisisanicknamem: cool, did you just follow that link and things "just worked"? Jun 29 23:10:11 Yup Jun 29 23:10:16 Used some different interfaces, ofc Jun 29 23:10:21 thisisanicknamem: always good when that happens :) Jun 29 23:10:30 indeed Jun 29 23:13:38 actually i've got another question - i can use my bbb happily when it's connected to my computer, but i'd like to run it as a separate standalone device. this means 1) power not from the computer and 2) internet via wifi. for power, i'm currently using a phone usb charger, which works fine. any recommendtations for how to get the bbb to be wifi enabled? Jun 29 23:14:56 I'd just stick in one of those USB Wifi adapters Jun 29 23:15:55 thisisanicknamem: sounds simple enough :) Jun 29 23:16:19 be sure to check if it'll work with linux first :P Jun 29 23:17:55 thisisanicknamem: seems there is a list http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#WIFI_Adapters Jun 29 23:19:12 If theres a list, choose one from the list. Jun 29 23:19:21 I would check reviews of each first, though Jun 29 23:19:51 reading up -it says that a usb power source is insufficient for the bbb+wifi, so i will need a 5V power supply Jun 29 23:20:52 Stupid USB not delivering much power Jun 29 23:21:09 Although, that might only apply when using power from another computer Jun 29 23:22:51 blehg, my beaglebone wont resolve hostnames D: Jun 29 23:22:59 I added googles DNS server to resolv.conf Jun 29 23:23:02 but that doesn't work Jun 29 23:23:33 thisisanicknamem: try adding your host computer as the resolver to resolv.conf, eg 192.168.7.1 Jun 29 23:24:29 Do you have to restart any internet related stuff after editing resolv.conf? Jun 29 23:27:50 thisisanicknamem: no, it should immediately apply Jun 29 23:27:58 weird Jun 29 23:28:18 I wonder why this isn't working Jun 29 23:29:48 pinging 8.8.8.8 works just fine Jun 29 23:30:03 so the problem is definitely not being unable to access googles DNS Jun 29 23:33:04 thisisanicknamem: should work, cat /etc/resolv.conf? Jun 29 23:33:24 just nameserver 8.8.8.8 Jun 29 23:33:37 thisisanicknamem: looks good to me Jun 29 23:34:01 http://askubuntu.com/questions/380810/internet-over-usb-on-beaglebone-black Jun 29 23:34:09 That person had the same problem as me, it looks like Jun 29 23:34:17 I'll try the answers Jun 29 23:36:19 thisisanicknamem: setting the default gw to 192.168.7.1 sounds promising to me Jun 29 23:36:34 thisisanicknamem: (shown in that link) Jun 29 23:38:20 That was one of the steps in that link you sent me earlier to enable IP sharing Jun 29 23:40:11 thisisanicknamem: ah ok Jun 29 23:45:35 jim wyatts answer sounds like it would help, but I have no idea what a trusted zone is or how to add it Jun 29 23:48:40 I'm lost, I'm just going to connect it over ethernet Jun 29 23:50:32 blehg Jun 29 23:50:41 Being connected over ethernet didn't fix a thing Jun 29 23:50:55 So its not related to what interface is being used Jun 29 23:53:38 thisisanickname: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/89957/cant-connect-to-to-internet-debian-wheezy-pinging-dns-address-works Jun 29 23:55:15 none of those responses are useful. I've added googles nameserver, the secondary server is irrelevant, and I cant install resolvconf because I can't resolve any hostnames Jun 29 23:55:28 Im still googling around for answers Jun 29 23:57:35 Might /etc/hosts be of any relevance? Jun 29 23:57:52 thisisanickname: doubt it Jun 29 23:58:34 thisisanickname: try traceroute so you can see where it drops Jun 29 23:59:17 "Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `google.com' on position 1 (argc 1)" Jun 29 23:59:33 Am I using traceroute wrong? :P Jun 30 00:00:35 thisisanickname: it's difficult to use traceroute wrong :P Jun 30 00:01:51 When I first got my beaglebone and plugged it into a computer running OSX, it was the smoothest process ever ): Jun 30 00:01:58 What has changed over the course of a year, Linux? Jun 30 00:02:45 linux hates plug and play Jun 30 00:02:51 sadly Jun 30 00:03:16 Normally issues like this is relatively easy to solve, though Jun 30 00:03:45 I bet Debian just hates /etc/resolv.conf, since whenever I find solutions involving Debian it involves downloading an application called resolvconf Jun 30 00:04:33 is resolvconf a debian specific hack? i haven't heard of it before Jun 30 00:04:44 I don't really know Jun 30 00:04:57 But I can't friggen install it because apt uses hostnames Jun 30 00:05:11 thisisanickname: you can resolve the hostnames on another computer, and manually enter them in /etc/hosts Jun 30 00:05:13 although, I could stick the deb on the sd card and install with with dpkg Jun 30 00:06:03 btw, do these look identical? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12889 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GUO5WUI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_2&smid=A1H9NMCPZH97BO Jun 30 00:07:22 I have a bias towards sparkfun because I really love sparkfun. So I'm going to say no, they do not look identical, you should buy the one from Sparkfun. Jun 30 00:08:32 thisisanickname: heh :) i just figured if i was buying a power adaptor as well and a wifi dongle i might as well get it all from the same supplier Jun 30 00:09:17 thisisanickname: not sure how sparkfun goes with shipping to aus too Jun 30 00:09:36 oh, then you should probably get it from Amazon Jun 30 00:11:07 thisisanickname: gee, the dongles from http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#WIFI_Adapters vary from $8 to $28, what gives? Jun 30 00:11:45 Varying quality? Jun 30 00:11:51 The cheapest ones are probably chinese Jun 30 00:12:16 chinese products are super cheap because its cheap to manufacture stuff in china Jun 30 00:13:06 thisisanickname: well i just want it to go online so i can speak to it via local network, it's not like i'm going to be browsing the full internets with it Jun 30 00:13:17 thisisanickname: so maybe the cheapest would do Jun 30 00:13:21 probably Jun 30 00:15:37 thisisanickname: ah ok, more expensive supports 802.11n which is faster and better wifi range Jun 30 00:16:24 I'll be right back, again Jun 30 00:26:27 yeah! got resolvconf installed Jun 30 00:26:37 Now to figure out how to use it Jun 30 00:32:42 I've added the correct line to /etc/network/interfaces Jun 30 00:32:47 and ran resolvconf Jun 30 00:32:51 but it still aint working Jun 30 00:36:01 thisisanickname: odd, DNS resolving usually is the simplest thing to solve Jun 30 00:36:23 This is much, much more frusturating than it should be Jun 30 00:38:32 I really hope someone else who can help will show up soon Jun 30 00:42:40 I'm going to install an old Angstrom image and see if it is Debians fault Jun 30 00:43:03 If I have the same issue with Angstrom, it's probably going to be something to do with my computer. Jun 30 01:02:07 good luck with angstrom if you can't fathom debian :) Jun 30 01:02:49 I never liked Debian :P Jun 30 01:03:00 Anyways, I am having the exact same issue now Jun 30 01:03:25 My resolv.conf used localhost, so I switched it to googles DNS... Jun 30 01:03:28 and it still doesn't work Jun 30 01:04:35 thisisanickname: actually, i recall having a similar problem a long time ago Jun 30 01:04:55 how did you fix it? Jun 30 01:05:03 thisisanickname: i recall giving up and using eth0, but you said you already tried switching interface Jun 30 01:05:53 wifi issue? Jun 30 01:06:00 what chipset is it? Jun 30 01:06:02 I'm not using wifi Jun 30 01:06:14 I'm trying to get wifi over USB Jun 30 01:06:18 not wifi Jun 30 01:06:19 ethernet Jun 30 01:06:20 :P Jun 30 01:06:32 Anyways, I got internet using this method: Jun 30 01:06:32 http://robotic-controls.com/learn/beaglebone/beaglebone-internet-over-usb-only Jun 30 01:06:40 The problem is, now, I cannot resolve any hosts Jun 30 01:06:52 I can ping 8.8.8.8, etc. just fine, though Jun 30 01:07:10 oh the great usb-gadget Jun 30 01:07:32 yeah you gotta forward packets on the host system Jun 30 01:07:38 And I did Jun 30 01:07:43 not too bad with iptables under linux Jun 30 01:07:46 But as I said, I just cannot resolve hostnames Jun 30 01:08:00 you've put google dns in your resolv.conf ? Jun 30 01:08:04 yeah Jun 30 01:08:18 so .. I guess its not pushing up dns packets Jun 30 01:08:27 I've found one solution (http://hipstercircuits.com/beaglebone-can-only-ping-some-hosts/), but I cant get it to work with the usb0 interface Jun 30 01:08:30 only ethernet Jun 30 01:08:31 but you can ping by ip address? Jun 30 01:08:36 Yeah Jun 30 01:08:57 yeah its not lettng you dns forward .. which is often an exploit Jun 30 01:09:12 Do you have any idea how I can solve this? Jun 30 01:09:18 or perceived security issue Jun 30 01:09:28 I am pretty sure it has something to do with the computer my beaglebone is connected to Jun 30 01:09:29 you can run a dns server on your usb host Jun 30 01:09:39 How does one do that? Jun 30 01:09:41 something like dnsmasq ? Jun 30 01:10:00 then point the beagle at that via resolv.conf Jun 30 01:10:07 alright Jun 30 01:10:51 I tried starting dnsmasq, got this: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for port 53: Address already in use Jun 30 01:10:56 Is it already running? Jun 30 01:12:35 aha something is running a dns server ... Jun 30 01:12:54 I have no clue what its address should be, though Jun 30 01:13:08 need to do a netstat to find the process Jun 30 01:13:24 alright Jun 30 01:13:29 What do I need to look for in the output? Jun 30 01:15:17 netstat -l -p should help Jun 30 01:16:23 running netstat -lp | grep dnsmasq got me some results Jun 30 01:17:27 I don't know if it works, though, since I am using OpenDNS's DNS servers Jun 30 01:17:43 shouldn't matter Jun 30 01:17:52 I run a caching DNS server on my BBB Jun 30 01:18:00 I use named though, and google dns Jun 30 01:18:03 bind9 Jun 30 01:18:14 How can I find out my computers IP on the virtual network? Jun 30 01:18:57 nevermind, found it Jun 30 01:19:36 Put nameserver 192.168.7.1 in resolv.conf, still not working Jun 30 01:19:43 I give up Jun 30 01:49:52 I managed to get hostnames to resolve when using the eth0 interface Jun 30 01:50:10 its not something daft like the Default route is wrong .. Jun 30 01:51:38 if you type 'route' it'll tell you if its working right on eth0 .. translate for the usb0 .. Jun 30 01:52:34 on this PC .. you'll see I got a vpn .. so there's two sets of route's .. http://pastebin.com/2nRDfSqA Jun 30 01:52:46 but my outgoing is over the eth0 Jun 30 01:53:05 ok I gotta ZZZzz .. good luck! Jun 30 01:53:28 good night Jun 30 01:53:37 if thats what you mean by zzzz:P Jun 30 02:04:26 thisisanickname: sounds like we got the same solution Jun 30 02:04:44 thisisanickname: do you lurk here? when i get my wifi dongle in a few weeks i'd like to see if i run into similar issues Jun 30 02:07:44 This is my first time on this IRC channel. I'll start lurking, though Jun 30 02:07:58 Anyways, now I'm having a new issue -_- Jun 30 02:08:00 neverending issues Jun 30 02:08:33 I'm trying to install gitlab onto my beaglebone. I've downloaded the deb, and tried installing it with dpkg -i Jun 30 02:08:57 but it errors with 'dpkg-deb: error: `gitlab-ce_7.12.0~omnibus.1-1_amd64.deb' is not a debian format archive'. I think the problem is related to architectures Jun 30 02:09:09 but I cant find any debs for gitlab that support ARM Jun 30 02:11:08 I'm going to try the manual install instead Jun 30 02:12:16 apt-get is so slow compared to pacman or dnf ): Jun 30 02:21:07 Hello all, has anyone been running into persistent Babble interrupt issues particularly over heavy usb traffic? I am using the 3.8 kernel. Is there any patch set that with high certainty has solved this issue for you? If so, is there any way to apply this to the 3.8 kernel? (This seems to be the only kernel that has support for my USB device) Jun 30 02:23:11 thisisanickname: why use gitlab anyway? Jun 30 02:23:29 No reason, really Jun 30 02:23:38 Its just something for me to do with my beaglebone Jun 30 02:23:41 thisisanickname: what's wrong with gitolite? Jun 30 02:23:48 Never heard of gitolite Jun 30 02:24:23 thisisanickname: gitlab is a fullfeatured shenanigan, i prefer the one-tool-per-job approach. gitolite is a git server that handles access control to your repos Jun 30 02:24:35 thisisanickname: for a web viewer, gitweb comes ootb, otherwise gitlist is a fancier viewer. Jun 30 02:24:47 Alright, I'll have a look Jun 30 02:24:56 thisisanickname: for bugtracking, something like bugzilla or whatever, CI, i use jenkins Jun 30 02:25:41 thisisanickname: and if it's just you and your board, you don't need ACL at all, git is distributed, treat it as any other git repo Jun 30 02:30:20 Moult: Do you know if I can run cloud9 as a user? Right now, when I use cloud9, the terminals are all logged in as root. I'd rather have them be using a non-root user. Jun 30 02:35:26 thisisanickname: no idea, i don't use cloud9 Jun 30 02:35:49 thisisanickname: i just run stuff either with bash or python **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 30 02:59:58 2015
