Mar 17 03:00:55 pacman and AUR are my gods :D Mar 17 03:02:06 archlinuxarm is getting popular in the ARM world, it seems... Mar 17 03:17:10 First problem: Ethernet cable isn't long enough. May I use the rpi as a bridge? I lack of an USB wifi adapter ATM Mar 17 04:46:42 jkridner[m], hunter235711: I just added a simple ELF loader (+ example) to py-uio, so now uio-pruss is usable with both pasm and clpru :) Mar 17 06:47:37 zmatt: thanks for the info about the pull up and pull down during boot. What if I make sure these values are always in the right pul-up and pull-down setup, would it then still be possible t boot from SD-Card? Or would I mess with the SD-card selection as well? Mar 17 06:48:44 johanhenselmans: the SD boot button is a 100 ohm pull-down on sysboot2 (P8.43) Mar 17 06:49:26 so if you ensure that your pull-ups are not stronger than 1Kohm or so, the button will still work fine Mar 17 07:05:45 i am still at a loss, some of the pins are undoubtedly high because of the stuff that might be connected to it. I know that one pin that should be 3.3 will befintely be low. How do I make sure that these pins are in the right way during boot up and will be in there state defined by the connected components afterwards? A relay for each of the pins? Mar 17 07:07:07 Ground or 3.3V during bootup, than switched to their default state? Mar 17 07:07:44 I mean compnent defined state instead of default state, sorry Mar 17 07:10:36 well the simplest solution is to avoid using those pins as inputs to the beaglebone, but presumably if that were an option you would already have taken it Mar 17 07:11:31 you can maybe use a bus-switch IC to disconnect those pins from external electronics as long as reset (P9.10) is low Mar 17 07:12:09 that would be more practical than using a relay or buffer for each pin :) Mar 17 07:21:38 e.g. http://www.ti.com/product/sn74cb3q3345 can isolate 8 signals and has an active-high enable input. (you can use a switch with active-low enable too of course, but then you'd have to invert the reset signal or control the bus switch with a gpio instead) Mar 17 07:25:24 zmatt: that is a nice solution, thanks again. Mar 17 10:15:54 zmatt: 74 series reloaded? :D **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Mar 18 03:00:03 2018
