**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 23 03:00:04 2018 Mar 23 03:14:15 yassyass: if you're using a recent image, then u-boot overlays are being used and the base dtb is actually am335x-boneblack-uboot.dtb Mar 23 03:15:06 oh snap okay, I will modify that instead right now! Mar 23 03:15:50 if you want to know for sure which dtb is being used, check u-boot's output on the serial console Mar 23 03:39:39 unsure how to check which dtb is being used. When you say check U-boot's status is it via dmesg? Mar 23 03:39:49 no, serial console only Mar 23 03:45:57 right, my understanding at the moment is that I would require a serial console cable for that. For the time being I will try and modify the am335x-boneblack-uboot.dtb and reboot and see if I get anywhere in terms of i2c frequency Mar 23 03:47:04 correct. it can be useful to have one anyway in case you ever need to debug a boot issue for example Mar 23 03:47:39 I agree, I was not aware I would need one but now will definitely be getting one Mar 23 03:48:59 well, "need" is a big word... the situations where you need one are rare, but if you do run into those situations it's annoying not to have one Mar 23 03:50:18 well I am pretty annoyed right now, which should validate my need :-) Mar 23 03:51:22 hehehe Mar 23 04:21:38 Just got a pocket beagle, downloaded the image and it appears to boot, but it never appears as a USB device like described. Downloaded Latest from bbb.io/latest. Any suggestions on how to debug? Mar 23 04:21:56 hmm, odd Mar 23 04:44:00 Is there a port I can connect a ttl/3.3v uart to see the console on the pocket? Mar 23 04:44:33 I'd assume so? no idea where though, I don't have a blue Mar 23 05:44:11 what is this channel is about .. ? Beagles means ? Mar 23 05:44:33 beagleboard.org Mar 23 06:42:51 I am trying to load a custom overlay from zmatt at https://github.com/mvduin/overlay-utils.git I made the dtbo file i wanted and added it to uEnv.txt but BBBW didnt boot after that. Is anyone on that could help me out? Mar 23 06:48:35 check the debug UART output Mar 23 06:51:14 agafford: that doesn't sound good, what did you put in the overlay? Mar 23 06:52:00 but yeah, serial console is how you debug boot issues. if you just want to fix the problem: if booting from sd card, stick that into a linux system of choice and fix /boot/uEnv.txt. if booting from eMMC: boot from a random sd card instead and fix /boot/uEnv.txt on eMMC Mar 23 06:52:13 (fix the problem of not booting I mean) Mar 23 06:52:37 i cloned the repo and ran make, then I copied the dtbo file to /lib/firmware Mar 23 06:52:45 which dtbo? Mar 23 06:52:55 i then uncommented the custom overlay in uEnv.txt Mar 23 06:53:03 spi0-gpio Mar 23 06:54:17 and well I wish i had asked in here first because i already flashed the eMMC :-( Mar 23 06:54:35 thanks for being up at all hours of the night to help too :-) Mar 23 06:54:47 that's a rather drastic but effective way to fix a boot issue :P Mar 23 06:54:53 * tbr checks local time: 08:54 Mar 23 06:54:53 it's not night here Mar 23 06:55:14 (although my hours are pretty random anyway) Mar 23 06:55:56 i also changed the gpio cs pin to p9.12 if that mattered Mar 23 06:55:58 hm, I don't see anything obvious wrong with the overlay Mar 23 06:56:07 it shouldn't Mar 23 06:56:23 did i need to make any other changes in uEnv Mar 23 06:56:32 i only changed that one line Mar 23 06:57:25 well you can't have cape-universal enabled at the same time, but I think it automatically disables when you specify an overlay to be loaded (or when one is loaded automatically due to cape detection) Mar 23 06:58:26 i think there is a line commented that disables it, i can try that Mar 23 06:58:44 and just to be sure, pastebin the dtsi after your modifications Mar 23 07:00:11 well that file got nukes when I flashed, but assuming no typos then i only changed P9.23 on line 23 to P9.12 Mar 23 07:00:22 and crap i think i did p9.12 not p9_12 Mar 23 07:00:41 and it compiled? o.O Mar 23 07:00:49 maybe i did the _ Mar 23 07:01:00 but yeah when i ran make it created the .dtbo file Mar 23 07:01:11 and you'd also need to change the gpio number Mar 23 07:01:26 (line 11, and in the comments on line 23) Mar 23 07:02:03 what is the number for p9.12? Mar 23 07:02:59 https://github.com/mvduin/overlay-utils/blob/master/include/bone/pins.h#L73 Mar 23 07:03:02 or was the 17 on line 11 supposed to be 23? Mar 23 07:03:24 no, P9_23 is gpio 1.17 Mar 23 07:03:29 https://github.com/mvduin/overlay-utils/blob/master/include/bone/pins.h#L85 Mar 23 07:04:19 I convience I added the gpio numbers in the comments pin bone/pins.h as you can see Mar 23 07:04:23 *for convenience Mar 23 07:04:43 ok thanks Mar 23 07:04:52 you can also find them in my pins spreadsheet ( https://goo.gl/Jkcg0w ) or use my show-pins script ( https://github.com/mvduin/bbb-pin-utils/#show-pins ) Mar 23 07:05:54 so for #define P9_12 30 // U18 / io 1.28 do i need 1.28 or 1.30? Mar 23 07:06:10 it explicitly says io 1.28 Mar 23 07:06:29 ok thats what i thought the other one had 17 for both numbers Mar 23 07:06:36 coincidence Mar 23 07:06:58 yeah just had to make sure that wasn't just an old comment or something Mar 23 07:07:47 ok so i think im booted into the latest kernel, let me try this again :-) Mar 23 07:08:02 which kernel version? Mar 23 07:09:49 4.14.16-ti-r30 Mar 23 07:10:09 latest in the 4.14-ti series is 4.14.29-ti-rt-r40 Mar 23 07:10:23 eh Mar 23 07:10:28 4.14.29-ti-r40 Mar 23 07:10:35 sorry, accidently copy-pasted the wrong one Mar 23 07:10:35 oh, well this is the one that it was working on before i messed the the overlay Mar 23 07:10:54 but i could update in a bit Mar 23 07:11:27 on a side note, ive been getting quite a bit of lag in putty, is that normal with BBBW? Mar 23 07:13:12 seems like it has been a lot worse since i flashed Mar 23 07:13:14 I very rarely connect to a beaglebone via wireless, but yeah I think I've noticed some lag. it might help to disabling powersaving features, or if that doesn't help it's probably just packet loss and resulting retransmits Mar 23 07:13:18 hmm Mar 23 07:13:48 it could also very well be dependent on the kernel version and the wl18xx firmware version Mar 23 07:14:16 I got the impression 4.14 is doing better than 4.9 though Mar 23 07:14:36 at least I've seen a lot less wl18xx firmware crashes and corrupt packet warnings in the kernel log Mar 23 07:15:03 i noticed a bit of lag on all of the ones i was trying lat week but right now its almost not usable. im still trying to open nano to edit the .dtsi file Mar 23 07:21:42 zmatt: so I have the .dtsi file modified like this https://pastebin.com/3kei7J7B Mar 23 07:23:23 i also need spi mode 0. what do I do on lines 42,43 and 54, 55? Mar 23 07:23:44 ok... well, it *looks* okay to me, and it's based on a working dts for one of our products, so if it's doesn't work I wouldn't really understand why Mar 23 07:23:57 remove them or comment them out Mar 23 07:24:10 ok thanks. let me give this a shot Mar 23 07:26:08 you sure about mode 0 btw? mcspi has some annoying constraint when used in mode 0 or mode 2... unless maybe the linux driver has a workaround for it, I've never tested it since I haven't had any use for mode 0/2 Mar 23 07:26:58 although it doesn't matter for some spi devices I guess. (the constraint is that it requires CS deassertion after every word transferred) Mar 23 07:28:33 the spi slave devices are MEGA 2560 using Nick Gammons SPI example Mar 23 07:28:52 that doesn't mean anything to me Mar 23 07:29:05 *for me Mar 23 07:29:30 as long as you're aware aforementioned constraint probably applies Mar 23 07:31:42 thanks, ill keep them in mond and may change to mode 3 once i get more stuff working Mar 23 07:32:12 in uEnv do i just comment out the enable line for cape universal or do i change it to =0? Mar 23 07:32:20 comment it out Mar 23 07:32:22 the value is ignored Mar 23 07:32:29 so =0 would have the same effect as =1 Mar 23 07:32:40 ok Mar 23 07:34:52 well it booted up this time, thats a plus :-) Mar 23 07:35:40 and it works!!! Mar 23 07:35:49 thanks for all the help Mar 23 09:43:34 hi... can I use bbb with TIDA-00299 (EtherCAT Slave and Multi-Protocol Industrial Ethernet Reference Design)? Mar 23 09:43:58 no ethercat possible on the bbb Mar 23 09:44:04 thanks Mar 23 09:44:20 any ethercat alternatives? Mar 23 09:44:38 not even using a cape: it has the wrong SoC variant, and the necessary pins are not all accessible via the expansion headers Mar 23 09:44:53 i cee Mar 23 09:44:58 see Mar 23 09:45:53 the ICE maybe? Mar 23 09:45:59 http://www.ti.com/tool/TMDSICE3359 Mar 23 09:46:16 ok. Thanks a lot zmatt Mar 23 09:46:54 does it run linux and does it have a Mar 23 09:46:57 bsp? Mar 23 09:48:16 you could just first have browsed the page I linked to, it even includes a download link for a linux sdk Mar 23 09:48:36 I have zero experience with the board, I just know it exists Mar 23 09:48:50 ok zmatt, you are right Mar 23 17:45:54 Hi, Please i need to know if i will make a proposal on my own or there would be any help? Mar 23 17:46:21 proposal? Mar 23 17:48:08 shouldn't we submit a proposal to be in for this Gsoc?? Mar 23 17:48:45 please goto #beagle-gsoc for GSoC activities Mar 23 21:10:53 i have a beaglebone blue, the rc_test_imu is not working. i2cdetect -r -y 2 only shows 76 (the barometer) Mar 23 21:11:21 do i need to enable the imu? before it will work? Mar 23 22:25:19 leveret: hm, no idea other than that you should be careful with i2cdetect since it can confuse the heck out of i2c devices, even up to the point of making them completely unresponsible (I've seen that happen with some IMU but I don't remember which) Mar 23 22:25:33 *unresponsive Mar 24 01:09:31 hi my name is phillipe Mar 24 01:10:01 many thanks Mar 24 01:10:18 i would like to make a few questions Mar 24 01:10:45 is my first time in beagleboard Mar 24 01:11:03 we are manufacturing medical equipment Mar 24 01:11:38 and we treat to find a one display touch for 7.0 in Mar 24 01:12:05 but im not expert in software programing Mar 24 01:12:42 i so Nextion before and i like, buy find this page i very happy to now beagle Mar 24 01:13:13 whit what software we can do that Mar 24 01:13:35 it's really not clear what your question is Mar 24 01:22:29 I guess it wasn't important Mar 24 02:24:36 still looking for ideas why my brand new pocket beagle with bbb.io/latest on it does not appear as a USB device as described? Any suggestion on how to debug this would be appreciated. Mar 24 02:39:11 ThatHydeKid: what sort of led activity are you seeing when trying to boot it ? Mar 24 02:56:00 you know what i would just love? a dc-dc converter or 5v power supply that doesn't make aggravating infurating high pitched squealing noises **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 24 03:00:01 2018
