**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 07 02:59:58 2015 Sep 07 07:13:57 Hi, can I use TFTP and the Serial port of the BBB to flash the eMMC ? Sep 07 07:14:18 probably Sep 07 07:17:50 Do you have any link, book or something speaking about that ? I didn't find anything :/, I have my kernel Image and my dt compiled but i'm looking to flash the eMMC with it Sep 07 07:18:28 why don't you do it like everyone else from a microsd? Sep 07 07:20:00 Hum i've tried to addapt the ewiki tutorial to my kernel build from ti's src but this didn't work Sep 07 07:20:53 And I think that could be simpler throught serial port, I can already boot every thing from it but it's not permanent Sep 07 07:21:17 you can use uboot to write to emmc...somehow Sep 07 07:21:26 so if you can boot from serial port, then just write to the emmc while booted Sep 07 07:21:30 and load stuff from tftp Sep 07 07:21:42 * KotH used back in the days when alchemy was the shit! Sep 07 09:05:00 is it possible to flash a BBB over USB (memory stick), instead of SD card? Sep 07 09:08:48 yes Sep 07 09:09:17 hoijui: check out https://github.com/ungureanuvladvictor/BBBlfs Sep 07 09:25:15 ah cool, thanks guys! :-) Sep 07 10:08:33 hii Sep 07 10:08:54 * vish1156 slaps CareBear\ around a bit with a large fishbot Sep 07 10:09:21 hii Sep 07 10:09:27 any one thr Sep 07 10:09:36 http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Sep 07 10:10:19 hey i am new \ Sep 07 10:10:24 plz help me Sep 07 10:11:35 we can't help you as we don't know what you need help with. Sep 07 10:11:51 I'd really recommend to read that link Sep 07 11:02:20 tbr: apprently, he didnt need any help Sep 07 11:02:53 so he went, helpless *zing* Sep 07 11:28:49 was he from india? name wise, it could be Sep 07 11:30:07 in my experience it they use this a lot .. the "please, thank you very much, i really, really need help! ..." Sep 07 11:31:00 as if social manipulation is a must play game (not to say that they play it for egoistical reasons) Sep 07 12:11:38 I am trying to get RS232 with the CBB-Serial board running with linux 4.2, but the instructions in the LogicSupply manual do not work anymore: echo BB-UART4-RTSCTS > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots results in No such file or directory. What is the 4.x incantation to achieve the same? Sep 07 12:33:12 Hi, got some trouble with my ethernet connection, can't reach anything even after ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient eth0; and modified resolv.conf with nameserver 8.8.8.8, ping 100% packet lost, any idea ? (local ethernet works, but can"t reach the internet) Sep 07 12:33:28 any idea what could be wrong ? Sep 07 12:33:47 default gateway Sep 07 12:35:33 http://hastebin.com/ilumahuhaw.rb Sep 07 12:36:09 something is wrong ? Sep 07 12:37:09 http://hastebin.com/fayakiwile.sm Sep 07 12:48:02 are you able to ping 192.168.0.1 ? Sep 07 13:17:39 hi, may I use the S2 button on the bbb ? which gpio is it connected to? Sep 07 14:06:31 Hi, facing a strange error with apt-get on a fresh compiled kernel with debian rootfs, simple apt-get install gcc return: http://hastebin.com/yetogogomu.vbs Sep 07 14:07:53 "readlink: invalid option -- 'm'" Sep 07 14:08:14 i've tried apt-get install --reinstall coreutils but this changed nothing Sep 07 14:08:30 sounds like for some reason it's using a busybox version Sep 07 14:09:30 which shell is running that? are you on a bash or busybox sh? Sep 07 14:09:53 what does "which readlink" tell you? Sep 07 14:09:56 i'm on bash using the serial port Sep 07 14:10:13 root@arm:/home/debian# which readlink /usr/local/bin/readlink Sep 07 14:10:24 heh Sep 07 14:10:46 how did you get that there Sep 07 14:10:52 ? Sep 07 14:10:53 did you put that there? Sep 07 14:11:08 nope Sep 07 14:11:43 which debian image is this? Sep 07 14:11:44 i've extract the bare rootfs provide by rcn, but it's the first time I see this error .. Sep 07 14:11:59 debian-8.1-bare-armhf-2015-06-09.tar.xz Sep 07 14:12:17 was there something on the target that you extracted to? Sep 07 14:12:37 hum i've erase it before .. Sep 07 14:13:06 I'll try to setup again the microsd Sep 07 14:13:37 why don't you use a regular BBB image? Sep 07 14:15:07 i've some custom driver that i've wrote (memory mapped GPIO) and custom dtb and I wan't a minimal kernel running on the bbb for embedded purposes, for example I don't need anything related to hdmi Sep 07 14:15:53 I'm doing this the wrong way ? Sep 07 14:16:09 sure, but that doesn't stop you from using a regular image as the starting point Sep 07 14:16:29 * tbr used a regular image and then proceeded to build a custom kernel package for it Sep 07 14:16:49 mostly because I wanted a specific DTB in addition to the 4.0 kernel Sep 07 14:17:38 what are you meaning with a custom kernel package ? building a .deb ? Sep 07 14:18:10 yeah, you don't have to, but that's what I did. Sep 07 14:18:15 actually i'm using TI's src, my kernel work perfectly when I boot it via TFTP, but i'm a lots of trouble creating a rootfs and put i permanently on the board >> Sep 07 14:18:17 >< * Sep 07 14:18:41 I've a * Sep 07 14:20:33 so you advise me to build the kernel using make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- deb-pkg ? and then install the .deb package to a regular image ? Sep 07 14:21:29 I have no idea about "TI's src". I've used what RCN uses, which is pretty much vanilla kernel.org with some small patches sprinkled on Sep 07 14:22:15 That's quite the same it's Texas Instrument linux src Sep 07 14:24:29 no Sep 07 14:32:25 The eewiki wrote by rcn refer to this src too .. Sep 07 14:32:49 I am unable to use lighttpd on beaglebone black Sep 07 14:33:01 the status is inactive Sep 07 14:33:03 why are you unable to use it? Sep 07 14:33:18 ? Sep 07 14:33:25 https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-TIBSP Sep 07 14:33:36 Gwak: TI has a habit of sitting on some really old kernel versions Sep 07 14:33:45 i am unable to use start or restart either Sep 07 14:33:49 it's a 4.1.6 kernel version Sep 07 14:34:13 Guest35528: have you looked at the logs yet? Sep 07 14:34:15 its 3.8.13 angstrom Sep 07 14:34:39 the kernel itself work well i've boot it and use it, using TFTPBOOT, it's just about flashing the emmc with this kernel Sep 07 14:35:24 i get this error Sep 07 14:35:26 start lighttpd.service Job for lighttpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status lighttpd.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details. Sep 07 14:35:58 Gwak: it's still a TI kernel. I'm not interested in those. Sep 07 14:36:12 Guest35528: and have you tried the suggested commands? Sep 07 14:36:54 which suggested commands Sep 07 14:37:24 the ones suggested in the error message you just pasted? Sep 07 14:37:34 yes Sep 07 14:37:39 and? Sep 07 14:38:18 the systemctl status lighttpd.service command prints the status as inactive Sep 07 14:38:27 it gets loaded but still inactive Sep 07 14:38:49 i am a newbie so i dont know how to fix it Sep 07 14:39:45 have you examined the output of 'journalctl -n' after attempting to start lighthttpd? Sep 07 14:39:58 no Sep 07 14:40:30 then I'd suggest to do so. It's rather obvious as it's pointed out in the message you get. Sep 07 14:40:47 okay thanks. i will check Sep 07 17:51:34 hi, may I use the S2 button on the bbb ? which gpio is it connected to? Sep 07 17:52:06 oops Sep 07 17:53:13 can I get your universal tool in deb ? or need I download the git? to the console image? Sep 07 20:15:47 Hi everybody, any success experience with android or laptop interconnection in order to use my device as a desktop for BBB? Sep 07 20:33:36 device as desktop for BBB? Sep 07 20:36:52 Sounds like a desire for remote desktop or vnc. Sep 07 22:29:17 is it possible to use any of the BBB buttons as an input button? Sep 07 22:32:57 <_av500_> yes Sep 07 22:33:01 <_av500_> the user button Sep 07 22:34:36 thanks, I can not find which gpio it is Sep 07 22:37:01 <_av500_> should be in the SRM Sep 07 23:20:13 the power button too, with a bit more effort (and as long as you don't keep it pressed down too long) Sep 07 23:26:09 note that the SD-boot button (which I assume _av500_ was referring to) is only usable as input if you're not using video output (whether via hdmi or otherwise) since it's attached to lcd_data2 Sep 07 23:26:58 pin 42, gpio 2.08 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Sep 08 01:09:44 2015 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 08 02:59:58 2015
