Apr 21 07:53:43 how to expand bbb input pin?? Apr 21 07:54:18 pls reply guyss... Apr 21 07:54:40 is their any alternate way..??\ Apr 21 07:54:50 alternate to what? Apr 21 07:55:14 there are quite a few gpios if you disable hdmi and maybe eMMC if necessary Apr 21 07:55:17 alternate means expanding gpio in bbb Apr 21 07:55:55 oh..thn how to disable hdmi Apr 21 07:57:11 there's a line in /boot/uEnv.txt you need to uncomment Apr 21 07:57:31 disable_uboot_overlay_video=1 Apr 21 07:59:11 I think to get 60 gpios you'll also need to disable eMMC. you'll need to boot from sd card then obviously. I recommend first erasing it using sudo blkdiscard /dev/mmcblk1 and then disable it by uncommenting the line disable_uboot_overlay_emmc=1 in /boot/uEnv.txt Apr 21 08:00:42 be careful when driving P8.31-46 though, they need to have correct input levels during power-on otherwise the BBB will not boot Apr 21 08:01:37 so its ltl bit tricky Apr 21 08:01:48 (pins 31, 41, 43, and 44 need to be high, pins 32, 33, 35, 39, 40, 45, 46 need to be low) Apr 21 08:02:07 if you need more inputs and performance is not a huge concern, you could always use something like an i2c gpio expander Apr 21 08:05:04 thnx zmatt Apr 21 08:05:40 so its possible to make 60 input pins in bbb/?? Apr 21 08:06:11 i need only input not output// Apr 21 08:15:41 I already said all gpios are inputs by default Apr 21 08:15:51 oh you stopped caring and left Apr 21 08:16:02 guess it wasn't important Apr 21 13:33:59 zmatt, well you tried :) Apr 21 20:22:31 Hello. I am poking around with a BeagleBone Black running Linux beaglebone 4.9.88-ti-r110. I've opened up an terminal session to it using PuTTY. Does anyone have any tips for betting the man command working from the command line? I always get "-bash: man: command not found" Apr 21 20:47:30 wrt getting a man command to run, I think the PATH needs to be updated to include either /usr/local/ or /usr/share/ ... not sure how or which directory is more appropriate. Apr 21 21:26:44 MattFindley: ehhhh, what kind of weirdass system are you running that man isn't installed? Apr 21 21:28:00 also, the way to fix that is installing man Apr 21 21:34:21 man pages have to be done Apr 21 21:41:33 I have several man files in a /usr/share/man folder, so it isn't like the OS doesn't have man. for some reason, however, the man command doesn't execute. ...beats me. I added /usr/share/man to my path, but still get a "comman not found" error when I type "man --help". Apr 21 21:42:19 please don't add nonsensical directories to your PATH Apr 21 21:42:57 the presence of manpages is independent of the presence of the man command itself Apr 21 21:43:51 so, if the man pages are in the /usr/share/man folder, then where is the man executable? Apr 21 21:43:56 if you're running a debian system you can install the man command with "sudo apt install man-db" although again I'm a bit curious how you ended up not having one in the first place Apr 21 21:44:13 normally /usr/bin/man Apr 21 21:45:02 are you using a console image? Apr 21 21:47:28 I installed one of the gui images onto the BBB. ... nothing too exotic. I got it off of the BBB website. I can check my notes. Apr 21 21:47:56 that sounds really weird, those should definitely include man Apr 21 21:50:55 ... originally put a image on an SD card and flashed the MMC in late January. was "uname -a: Linux beaglebone 4.9.45-ti-r57 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 25 22:58:38 UTC 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux" Apr 21 21:51:09 that says absolutely nothing Apr 21 21:51:20 that's just the kernel version Apr 21 21:51:55 isn't there some sort of dogtag script that tells me about the OS? Apr 21 21:52:10 cat /etc/dogtag Apr 21 21:52:51 although I'm not sure whether that contains the variant or just the date Apr 21 21:53:10 ok. that returns: "BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2017-08-31" Apr 21 21:53:19 yep that's what I was afraid of Apr 21 21:53:53 why is that? Apr 21 21:54:03 no information about which image it was, other than the date Apr 21 21:55:44 well, I haven't done hardly anything with the device. I was up to Chapter 3 in Exploring Beagle Bone Black. I can easily just get an image that has man. Apr 21 21:55:52 and reinstall. Apr 21 21:56:38 unless you really want/need a desktop environment on the beaglebone, just get the latest iot image (i.e. first download link at https://bbb.io/latest-images ) Apr 21 21:58:19 I've been using the terminal, so that sounds ok by me. One of the youTube tutorials was using a TightVNC server to get at the GUI, but I'm not sure I need that. Apr 21 21:58:57 especially when flashing to eMMC I advise against the gui image since it leaves very little free space Apr 21 22:00:01 what is the difference between bbb.io/lastest-images and beagleboard.org/latest-images? Apr 21 22:00:03 when running from sd card, I recommend erasing eMMC (with sudo blkdiscard /dev/mmcblk1 ) to avoid any older bootloader on eMMC from accidently being used in combination with the newer system on sdcard, potentially causing weird issues Apr 21 22:00:10 nothing, the former is a shorter url Apr 21 22:00:20 it redirects to beagleboard.org Apr 21 22:00:59 also, beware of following instructions in books, since they tend to be outdated Apr 21 22:01:52 yeah, I figured that out back in January. The process for getting the OS image from the SD card to the MMC has changed. Apr 21 22:02:18 that way the OS handles the root account has also changed. Apr 21 22:02:34 just use sudo for commands that need root privileges Apr 21 22:15:30 zmatt: Thanks for the help. This blckdiscard command, when do you recommend running this? Within the old OS and before booting up the BBB with the new image on the SD card? Apr 21 22:15:59 at any point while booted from sd card (and then reboot afterwards) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Apr 22 03:00:04 2018
