**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 07 03:00:00 2016 Nov 07 03:53:07 @zmatt I never used the Adafruit libraries except while having a quick look at cloud9 IDE long ago. I believe it's not upto date. Nov 07 03:55:20 And when I used to write overlays and if panic was observed during their testing. Changing the pins had always solved my problems Nov 07 04:03:56 And some official "documentation" (I mean to be made available on beagleboard.org) in a very specific way. Overlays and pins at times becomes very messy, examples could really help solve the problem [mainly would help keep "misconceptions" away ;) and would save time] Nov 07 05:01:17 a *good* tool for making device trees would be really nice :/ Nov 07 05:04:11 wasn't that something rcn started work on? Nov 07 05:04:19 or am I thinking of something else. Nov 07 05:04:45 if so, the result is cape-universal /o\ though rcn didn't make that afaik Nov 07 05:04:55 no thankfully .. Nov 07 07:39:38 hi.. I am working on Duplicating identical BeagleBone Black setups by generating flasher image. I am following this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17834561/duplicating-identical-beaglebone-black-setups/36153910#36153910 . when I run script for flasher image. It copies everything except updated /etc/fstab file in which I made change for external memory of bbb (sdcard). What should I do? So that my changes in this file remain s Nov 07 08:32:11 mk__: inspect the scripts to see why that file gets overwritten? Nov 07 08:34:21 Hello! Nov 07 08:50:36 I'm trying to adress the PMIC on a X15, it works when i force the I2C bus but this doesnt seem to be a good solution. There already is a driver (palmas) but how would i go about adressing this driver? Nov 07 08:58:07 I guess extending the driver to add the functionality you need would be a good way? Nov 07 09:00:46 Well right now its already loaded, my main issue is how do i actually use the driver in a program Nov 07 09:26:35 you could look at the driver source to find out what sort of userspace interaction it provides for Nov 07 09:26:44 or which standard kernel things it implements Nov 07 09:50:03 palmas is a multifunction device and appears as a whole bunch of devices Nov 07 09:53:20 on my omap5 I see: gpadc (iio), palmas_clk32k (clock), palmas_pmic (power), palmas_power_button (input), palmas_usb (extcon), and rtc (rtc) Nov 07 09:57:28 note that I don't think the am57xx uses an actual palmas pmic but a related one for which the same driver is used, but this means a different selection of subdevices may be available Nov 07 11:13:30 Can anyone tell me how to enable the wakeup pin functinality of the BBB? This functionality should be available with first pin bank, but the folder for /wakeup is not existing Nov 07 11:23:55 hmm, I'm pretty sure I've seen wakeup from sleep via gpio0 working Nov 07 13:00:02 It looks like that you have to teek something in the kernel to enable the wakeup on pins, anyone any clue ? Nov 07 15:55:15 Somewhere in the move from kernel 3.18 to 4.4 I²C started sending only the first byte of my string. The code I'm using is cribbed from Derek Molloy. https://github.com/derekmolloy/beagleboneQT/blob/master/BMA180Accelerometer.cpp Nov 07 15:55:24 Does anyone know what's going on? Nov 07 17:08:07 hi Nov 07 17:34:48 puzz-mobile: huh, read()/write() calls on an i2c device? I've never seen that before Nov 07 17:38:14 looks like it ought to work Nov 07 17:38:28 Hmm... Nov 07 17:38:36 puzz-mobile: you're referring to writeI2CDeviceByte() I'm guessing? Nov 07 17:39:15 zmatt: I actually have to check. Give me a minute. I'm the guy that updated the kernel, not the guy who wrote our code. ;) Nov 07 17:46:02 I've used all sorts of kernel versions including 4.4, 4.6, and 4.8, and haven't experienced any problems with i2c Nov 07 18:07:12 puzz-mobile: btw, probably it's better and more convenient to use the helper functions in i2c-dev.h Nov 07 18:07:30 u8 value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data( fd, reg ); Nov 07 18:07:31 and Nov 07 18:07:59 i2c_smbus_write_byte_data( fd, reg, value ) Nov 07 18:08:15 oh actually both return int of course, which is -1 on error as usual Nov 07 18:09:11 I would also suggest opening the i2c device once instead of opening and closing again for every method... that's not very efficient :P Nov 07 18:11:11 oh reading can be done more efficiently of course than one byte at a time, hmm, not sure what the high-level wrapper for that is Nov 07 18:48:04 I'd probably just use I2C_RDWR for everything, with whatever higher-level wrapper I might care for Nov 07 19:14:14 zmatt: Yeah, I'm really not a fan of how we do this. Unfortunately, I think I need to settle for a band-aid fix for now. Nov 07 22:03:33 hello hello Nov 07 22:03:58 i'm trying to install the driver for my wifi adapter with no so much succes Nov 07 22:04:31 i'm following this instruction Nov 07 22:04:43 sudo apt-add-repository ppa:thopiekar/mt7601 Nov 07 22:04:57 sudo apt-get update Nov 07 22:05:07 sudo apt-get install mt7601-sta-dkms Nov 07 22:05:16 but it give an error Nov 07 22:05:45 Elray, md7601 drivers are installed by default in most of our images. what image are you using? cat /etc/dogtag Nov 07 22:06:06 3.8.13xenomai-bone41 Nov 07 22:06:34 yeah, that was before.. since you are using xenomai, i'm guessing the machinekit image? Nov 07 22:09:15 umm Nov 07 22:09:19 not shure Nov 07 22:09:26 is for this cape Nov 07 22:09:33 https://github.com/BelaPlatform/Bela Nov 07 22:10:28 this one Nov 07 22:10:28 https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image/releases/tag/v0.1.0 Nov 07 22:11:14 i don't know what to do Nov 07 22:11:22 Elray, better ping them: https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image/issues Nov 07 22:11:59 oks Nov 07 22:12:06 We have working mt7601 support on beagleboard.org/latest-images Nov 07 22:12:47 where is write? Nov 07 22:13:13 Elray, login into github and click "new issue".. Nov 07 22:13:48 ah :P Nov 07 22:22:07 hi beagleboner's Nov 07 22:23:03 hey hey Nov 07 22:23:33 So today I received my first BBB and I have to say so far it's a bit of a nightmare to configure! Nov 07 22:24:32 welcome to the jungle :D Nov 07 22:25:18 Haha thanks! Why is it so complicated??? It's such a good product and I have many commercial applications Nov 07 22:37:05 @mekon what are your plan with bbb? Nov 07 22:38:18 Hey. Anybody out there? Nov 07 22:38:40 yep Nov 07 22:39:58 Nice. I've got a bbb. I'm looking for a super lightweight Debian image. Don't need X11, cloud9, apache2, etc. I just want to be able to SSH to it and then choose what software I load. Can't seem to find one on the official image site... any suggestions? Nov 07 22:40:21 The regular image eats up all my drive space. Nov 07 22:41:57 why not make you own img? Nov 07 22:43:24 Hmm.. I guess I could give that a shot. I just assumed that was super difficult. Nov 07 22:43:51 just run debian-installer? Nov 07 22:44:45 doesn't the bbb need to run a special port of debian though? Nov 07 22:46:44 no Nov 07 22:47:03 We started with a console image but it still has cruft, like the usb gadget. It wasn't to to hard to strip down from there. Nov 07 22:47:20 there may be some specific features missing from the kernel that haven't made their way to mainline linux Nov 07 22:47:31 raskall: just depends on what you need it for Nov 07 22:50:59 Thanks all. I'll go in that direction. Nov 07 22:53:02 Hi all I am looking for some help on a beagleboard-xm board Nov 07 22:55:42 does the beagleboard-xm board using "user.txt" for bootloader or "uEnv.txt" just like the beaglebone black Nov 07 22:56:45 onio, it uses uEnv.txt in the default images... Nov 07 22:57:19 thanks Nov 07 22:57:27 rcn-ee Nov 07 22:59:16 rcn-ee have you ever used buildroot for building zImage, rootfs for beagleboard-xm? Nov 07 22:59:42 I am currently tried to do this but not getting any joy Nov 07 23:00:05 onio, nope... It should work thou, the xm is a mainline target, just uses the latest version of u-boot and kernel.. Nov 07 23:01:25 thanks rcn-ee Nov 08 00:23:24 what the diff between beaglebone black vs green wireless? the black is not available but the green is for purchase. Nov 08 00:23:30 need one quick Nov 08 00:23:42 green wireless has no ethernet Nov 08 00:24:23 and the wireless functionality conflicts with many expansion header I/O Nov 08 00:25:20 (even though this was almost certainly unnecessary, they could have reused the pins of the ethernet they removed) Nov 08 00:34:53 zmatt: thanks! seems like black is the way to go, however it's "out of stock" Nov 08 00:35:14 and I think neither has ethernet after wireless is added? Nov 08 00:35:31 though you can always usea usb-ethernet which I have Nov 08 00:35:37 s/usea/use/ Nov 08 00:36:34 you can get beaglebone blacks Nov 08 00:36:43 and they make a beaglebone black wireless now apparently Nov 08 00:36:55 dunno what the featureset of the bbbw is, haven't looked yet Nov 08 00:38:25 seems the bbbw indeed also has dropped ethernet. I hope they didn't repeat the idiocy of the bbgw Nov 08 00:38:41 but anyhow the bbbw is definitely not a replacement of the bbb, the bbb continues to be available Nov 08 00:39:08 zmatt: these two are probably the same schematic as they both point to the same github repo, normally seeed licenses from beagleboard org Nov 08 00:39:32 right, bbbw is not a replacement for bbb Nov 08 00:40:30 element14 seems to have plenty of bbb in stock Nov 08 00:41:26 i have all beagleboard/beaglebone here execept for teh wireless one Nov 08 00:42:04 the bbbw schematic definitely looks totally different Nov 08 00:43:34 omg ARGH nooo eagle /o\ Nov 08 00:46:43 at least they did reuse the ethernet pins for wireless Nov 08 00:48:07 if they had used a normal am335x as before they could have powered that I/O bank at 1.8V and avoid the need for level shifters, but well the OSD3358 makes that impossible Nov 08 00:56:27 what's the diff between osd3358 and am335x? Nov 08 00:57:00 * ausjke_ tries to find out the schematic diff between bbbw and bbgw Nov 08 01:09:35 anyway just bought bbgw and rpi3b, both have wireless, will do some comparisons Nov 08 02:10:54 On a Beaglebone, does the whole OS usually live in on-board flash or just certain parts of it (bootloader and kernel? All of / ?) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 08 03:00:00 2016
