Nov 17 03:04:26 <set_> jkridner: Hello Mr. I was going to do an update on the "Getting Started w/ BeagleBone" book for Debian and/or recent findings w/ permission. You already did it! Good on you.
Nov 17 03:04:40 <set_> I saw it on Maker Shed today.
Nov 17 03:04:47 <set_> How long ago did you complete this work?
Nov 17 03:06:27 <set_> I am asking b/c the book Matt produced via Make was done in 2013. I could find no info. on licenses, though.
Nov 17 03:06:43 <set_> GPL, MIT, and etc...
Nov 17 03:07:39 <set_> I was thinking of buying this book if it is new, i.e. 2016/2017.
Nov 17 03:10:43 <set_> ...
Nov 17 03:11:06 <set_> There is not a year on this book on their MakerShed site.
Nov 17 03:20:57 <set_> Do not worry about answering, sir. I will check later for dates and things on this specific book.
Nov 17 03:23:00 <set_> The other sites say 2013, too.
Nov 17 03:23:44 <set_> Even for the "newer" book w/ your forward.
Nov 17 03:24:31 <set_> Update!
Nov 17 03:38:59 <set_> Sorry.
Nov 17 09:39:25 <Guest39233> Hi, can you confirm that you still produce: BBONE-BLACK-IND-4G
Nov 17 09:40:14 <Guest39233> we buy them from farnell in the UK but dont want to use the product if its will be discontinued??
Nov 17 09:41:45 <LetoThe2nd> Guest39233: there have no rumours of discontinuation so far. this is no official statement, and no availability guarantee
Nov 17 09:41:58 <LetoThe2nd> Guest39233: if you have a business case, contact your distributor
Nov 17 09:42:02 <Guest39233> thanks
Nov 17 12:53:35 <ag_> Hello, I need to disable I2C of Beaglebone and use them as GPIOS. I tried using Device tree overlay to make them as GPIOs but that didn't work. Can someone help me on this?
Nov 17 13:17:28 <ag_> Hello, I need to disable I2C of Beaglebone and use them as GPIOS. I tried using Device tree overlay to make them as GPIOs but that didn't work. Can someone help me on this?
Nov 17 13:57:55 <zmatt> you need to disable capemgr and i2c1, either by using a main dtb that doesn't enable them or by using an overlay that disables them (the latter probably only works if u-boot overlays are being used, which requires a very recent image)
Nov 17 13:58:28 <zmatt> i2c2 sorry
Nov 17 15:49:39 <microdevel> hey zmatt, u still around? have a question concerning PMIC on BBB
Nov 17 17:21:30 <zmatt> please don't send private messages, just ask your question in channel
Nov 17 17:23:41 <zmatt> there's afaik no way to power-cycle the system by software request
Nov 17 17:25:17 <zmatt> don't mess with SEQDWN/SEQUP, those are iffy debug things that are not really safe to use, nor will they actually accomplish what you want (since vsys remains up when you use those, which means that the 3v3b regulator which supplies the ethernet phy will also remain up due to design bug)
Nov 17 17:27:37 <zmatt> I've never seen the eth go unresponsible during operation though, the only eth phy bug I've ever experienced is the one that occurs after power up
Nov 17 17:28:30 <zmatt> but, I do have the power saving mode of the phy disabled
Nov 17 17:29:15 <zmatt> in contrast to what Marcin Gajewski is suggesting though, power saving can be disabled with a simple DT change
Nov 17 17:31:47 <zmatt> (my reason for disabling it was that it is buggy and caused the kernel to poll for link up as workaround, resulting in increased link-up delay and periodic bursts of high cpu activity)
Nov 17 17:32:30 <zmatt> oh wait, I replied to the stackoverflow post but that wasn't actually your question... never mind
Nov 17 17:35:23 <zmatt> how to check if power-up sequencing is done: monitor the reset line (P9.10)
Nov 17 17:35:47 <zmatt> how to request power down: pulse pwr_btn (P9.09) low
Nov 17 17:35:53 <zmatt> how to force power down: cut power
Nov 17 17:37:45 <zmatt> am335x indeed performs a software shutdown via the pwr_en signal, which is actually controlled by the rtc.  to toggle it, an alarm is scheduled 1 second in the future (you can notice this delay when doing a shutdown)
Nov 17 19:41:46 <jerry> hola
Nov 17 21:35:47 <zarzar1> how do i get a list of installed packages? (apt-get)
Nov 17 21:53:23 <zmatt> apt list --installed
Nov 17 21:53:42 <zmatt> or  dpkg --get-selections   (probably quicker, but less info)
Nov 17 21:57:35 <ish_> Can the SD Card be used as storage for the OS or is it just for loading updates?
Nov 17 21:57:56 <zmatt> you can run entirely from sd card if you want
Nov 17 21:59:01 <ish_> thats cool... is there a max size of SD that the BB will handle?
Nov 17 22:00:27 <zmatt> I don't see why there would be
Nov 17 22:05:15 <GenTooMan> That would be entirely up to the OS as far as I know the SD interface is dependent on the OS far supporting the card.
Nov 17 22:31:00 <zmatt> and bootloader, if you want to boot from it
