**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 11 03:00:02 2017 Dec 11 11:29:27 I'm using the Pocket Beagle on a PCB I'm designing. I have the board dimensions, but i don't have the dimensions of P1 and P2 to the edge of the board? Dec 11 11:42:25 nor any patience evidently Dec 11 15:08:56 Hello. Can someone recommend a TSOP flash reader? Dec 11 15:39:52 aka a NAND programmer Dec 11 15:40:41 there are olllllld references such as the dataman and TNM5000 but I don't know how good the software support is for these Dec 11 15:41:29 chinese internet is full of probable clones of these bundled with adaters Dec 11 15:41:41 don't know what's a good choice Dec 11 16:22:45 What operating system has the best component compatibility out of the box on BBB? Dec 11 17:07:29 stealthC: what do you mean by that? Dec 11 17:16:50 stealthC: i find the capacitors are a little bit more capacitive when i'm using debian Dec 11 17:18:34 hello, I have a quick question on PRU stuff Dec 11 17:19:01 how can I print/debug the value of a register to the host Dec 11 17:19:15 Hi :). It seems like my board has the problem described in https://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Hardware. "We have been noticing a very small number of boards that are experiencing power issues, where the LED flashes and the board does not power up. We have been chasing this for a while now and due to the small number of boards that have the issue and the fact that the issue can also be caused by having things connected t Dec 11 17:19:25 How can I recover from this? Dec 11 17:19:40 I'm trying to use pru_rpmsg_send function Dec 11 17:19:50 shiva_: you don't. RMA Dec 11 17:20:12 @zmatt: Ohhhh. What is RMA? Dec 11 17:20:18 return to manufacturer Dec 11 17:20:35 Do they give a replacement? Dec 11 17:20:55 probably depends on circumstances, I don't know. contact manufacturer Dec 11 17:21:19 was it like that when you received the board? Dec 11 17:21:30 or after an attempt to interface it to external electronics? Dec 11 17:22:30 RTNewbie: the cortex-a8 can directly inspect a pru core's registers whenever the pru core is halted. presumably there's some nice way to do this when using remoteproc-pru but I don't know anything about remoteproc Dec 11 17:24:05 zmatt: I'm sure there is and I'm trying to figure it out Dec 11 17:24:17 thanks thought :) Dec 11 17:24:26 *though Dec 11 17:27:55 @zmatt It was fine initially Dec 11 17:28:39 RTNewbie: based on a quick glance at the driver, the remoteproc driver should have a subdir in debugfs containing a 'regs' file Dec 11 17:28:40 Once after unplugging and plugging in, it stopped showing any lights. I could not even flash eMMC Dec 11 17:29:30 ok Dec 11 17:30:19 well, best advice is to contact manufacturer. if you obtained the bbb from element14, see https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-68749 Dec 11 17:31:30 hmm. Thanks Dec 11 17:45:51 Thanks zmatt, I'll look into that Dec 11 18:10:45 Hi. I'm following some instructions to get a new beaglebone black wireless contected to my wifi. The first step is to ground TP1 which is apparently labeled on the board somewhere but I can't find it. Is there a diagram that has it labeled? Dec 11 18:34:56 mbrr: you've got a misprogrammed eeprom that you're trying to fix? Dec 11 18:35:17 do be careful with that... you don't want to mess up the eeprom further by mistake :) Dec 11 18:36:24 the test point should be labeled on the top side of the pcb, I believe it's fairly near the edge of the pcb near the power connector Dec 11 18:36:33 not 100% sure about that however Dec 11 18:37:24 okay maybe it's not Dec 11 18:39:04 I see TP1 in the bottom-left area between the power connector and the processor: https://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/BeagleBone-Black-Wireless-Large.jpg Dec 11 18:39:58 next to the eeprom (IC4) Dec 11 18:41:09 Thank you. Yes, I'm following this: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/a1V_8dLoGXs/vGNNPzDmCwAJ Dec 11 18:42:01 I guess it's a misprogrammed eeprom, I was getting the same error. Dec 11 18:42:48 check the eeprom contents before messing with it Dec 11 18:43:30 head -c 32 /sys/bus/nvmem/devices/0-00500/nvmem | hexdump -C Dec 11 18:44:50 for the black wireless, bytes 12-15 should be 42 57 41 35 ("BWA5") Dec 11 18:47:16 okay thanks. I will try that. I've also been having some trouble getting the display to show up. I have a monitor attached but it isn't getting a signal. Usually some combination of me plugging and unplugging things gets it to work. I have power from the 5V barrel, a usb hub with for keyboard/mouse, and my hdmi micro -> hdmi monitor Dec 11 18:48:15 ugh, not my cup of tea :) I just log in via ssh Dec 11 18:49:20 don't i need the networking to work for that? Dec 11 18:49:27 or usb Dec 11 18:49:53 oh yeah. i had tried that too. don't remember where I got stuck Dec 11 18:50:35 I think it currently should work out of the box when connected to a linux or windows 10 system... not sure otherwise Dec 11 18:50:51 mac too I believe but don't hold me to it Dec 11 18:53:30 I'm on Linux. It connected as a media device and beaglebone.local came up in chromium. I just couldn't figure out how to get it connected to the wifi without going through my laptop. Dec 11 18:53:56 once connected like that you can log in via ssh Dec 11 18:54:01 ssh debian@beaglebone.local Dec 11 18:55:24 that should make it a lot more convenient to work on it to check what's up with wifi and fix eeprom if this indeed turns out to be the problem Dec 11 18:56:32 okay. Maybe I'll switch to the IoT debian image too. Will try that. Thanks zmatt. Dec 11 18:56:56 that's probably a good idea Dec 11 18:57:10 especially to have more free space available on eMMC Dec 12 01:21:54 Hi. Im a beginner with my BeagleBlack. Trying to find quick start guide and examples of how to program this thing in Python. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Dec 12 03:00:01 2017
