**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 30 03:00:03 2017 Nov 30 12:58:40 hi. what is default user and password for ti sitara linux processor sdk? Nov 30 15:39:42 hi Nov 30 15:40:13 anybody here? Nov 30 15:42:51 nope, we're all elsewhere. Nov 30 15:43:26 I have a small question: I would like to control an RGB led with a microconroller. This MC should be connected to the beagle bone black. But I don't know how to connect the three connecters (don't know the real word for that) to the board. I only used Arduino before. Nov 30 15:44:02 so its RGBLed <-> MC <-> BBB? Nov 30 15:44:21 and what are "the three connectors"? which MC? Nov 30 15:45:10 what is the purpose of the usb[01] ethernet interfaces in the beagleboard x15? Nov 30 15:46:46 yes, the microcontroller is a UDN2981. Nov 30 15:48:54 Mara01010011: the udn2981 is not a MC, its just a driver Nov 30 15:48:54 I have a breadboard, and the three connectors are just small cables which are connected to the MC, each for one foot of the RGB. Nov 30 15:49:43 oh, good to know Nov 30 15:50:29 so am I actually searching for the powerpins to connect? Nov 30 15:51:36 Mara01010011: unless you're not trying to drive a super high power led or something, you don't need it anyways. just be inspired by https://learn.adafruit.com/fading-a-rgb-led-on-beaglebone-black/overview Nov 30 15:54:07 i have to, it's part of my embedded linux course. Thank you for that link! Nov 30 15:59:51 bye Nov 30 17:23:40 Hello, I would like to connect to beagle via SSH on Mac but I think it is not enabled by default... command works but I dont know the root password Nov 30 17:40:01 if it's giving you a login prompt, it's enabled Nov 30 17:40:21 debian/temppwd is the default on the new images, I think it used to be root with no password on the old images? Nov 30 18:15:32 I have tried debian and temppwd and it is not working :/ Nov 30 18:17:56 I think I will try to reinstall debian Nov 30 18:32:11 beaglebonenoob: did you try root and just hit enter at the password prompt? Nov 30 19:19:48 Hi all, I want to configure the BeagleBone Black to act ONLY as a mass storage device, is anyone fimiliar with the procedure for that? Nov 30 19:33:00 you're looking at the "usb gadget" framework for that Nov 30 19:33:30 I did a bunch of tinkering with this a while ago, pointing gadget at various different things to use as the backing-store for the mass-storage device it presents Nov 30 19:33:57 basically you need to unload what's currently running, then load it in storage-only mode, prove that it works Nov 30 19:34:06 then go about modifying the startup scripts to do your bidding Nov 30 19:34:34 step 1: Do you have a UART adapter so you can be on the board's local console without going through the rndis which you'll be tearing down? :) Nov 30 19:35:19 and/or I guess you could do it with a usb keyboard and microhdmi monitor... Nov 30 19:45:00 myself: do you know how to overcome the issue with windows 7 drivers? the serial gadget doesn't work with latest images Nov 30 19:45:52 I never played with serial gadget, don't know. Nov 30 19:47:26 Also, there's a lot of usb gadget tutorials out there for the raspberry pi, and most of that works the same as the beaglebone, with the exception of the startup defaults. I used a lot of those guides for my tinkering. Nov 30 19:48:31 https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_multi.txt Nov 30 19:48:56 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33546269/how-can-beaglebone-black-be-used-as-mass-storage-device Nov 30 19:49:13 http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/file_storage.html Nov 30 19:49:27 those are some of my notes from back in march when I was playing with this :) Nov 30 19:51:12 myself: great thanks, i've finnalygot the mass storage working, but the serial has a few issues with the drivers, i'll try to look in with the raspberry pi Nov 30 19:51:36 I thought you said "ONLY as a mass storage device", so I'm puzzling about the serial :) Nov 30 19:52:18 Also if Windows is being cranky, try testing first against a linux host, that'll let you bisect the problem and see if it's your gadget or the host Nov 30 19:54:48 myself: yeah , at first i wanted to get the mass storage working Nov 30 19:54:56 myself: now i'm struggling with the serial thing Nov 30 20:00:02 to be clear, are you trying to use usb-gadget to emulate a cdc/acm serial device? Or are you talking about using a separate USB-UART dongle (like a ubiquitous FTDI-or-similar) to get yourself console access on the J1 header? Nov 30 20:07:56 myself: i'm talking about the cdc/acm thing... the INF file is not working with Windows 7 on latest images Nov 30 20:08:24 myself: they change the gadget somehow so with windows 10 no need to any INF, but it broke the support with windows 7 Nov 30 20:10:10 does it work if you roll back to an older image on the beaglebone? Nov 30 20:11:20 myself : yes! Nov 30 20:11:38 myself: but i need latest image, i can't work with image two years old (Debian 7.9) Nov 30 20:13:49 myself: i also tried to track the changes, but i no so fimiliar with linux programming... (I've even find the EXACT patch ... https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9870177/) Nov 30 20:15:25 I feel like you might be able to tweak that back simply through commandline parameters, no? Nov 30 20:16:00 that's over my head, though. I'll step back and see if folks with more clue have any insight. Nov 30 20:17:59 myself: i tried to track it back with finding the old boot script... still investigating this... Nov 30 20:32:37 myself: yes I have tried that Permission denied, please try again. :/ Nov 30 21:15:43 * plaw tickles pdp7 Dec 01 01:16:25 hewhewhew **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 01 03:00:01 2017
