May 06 04:15:13 <kremlin> good evening
May 06 12:27:52 <drone|> does anyone have any pointers as to how to compile with ti dsplib on the x15
May 06 12:28:31 <drone|> Im trying to write a simple demo program and compile using the ti dsplib functions
May 06 12:49:45 * zmatt hasn't played with the dsp yet
May 06 13:21:00 <bou4> When powering the BeagleBone by supplying 5V to VDD_5V
May 06 13:21:13 <bou4> Does the power supply need to be able to supply 1A?
May 06 13:21:21 <bou4> Or will 500mA suffice?
May 06 14:26:55 <zmatt> depends a bit on what you're doing of course, but I think 500 mA should suffice for basic operation
May 06 16:46:58 <stingz> Hi! Someone with good knowledge in runtime/cycle time on a processor? Please PM :)
May 06 17:04:39 <myself> don't ask to ask, just ask!
May 06 17:05:59 <zmatt> stingz: it is really not clear what you mean by that.  also don't ask for a personal assistant, just ask your question (and stick around. there are plenty of knowledgable people here, but often they only occasionally glance at chat)
May 06 20:16:37 <stingz_> zmatt: My question is: I have some calculations I am doing in Matlab and another sw - I have timed these ops. I wonder if i can use these runtimes (?) times to make an estimateof how long time it would take running these on a processor? or how good of a processor that is needed for running the ops..
May 06 21:24:27 <set_> L298 and the BBB!
May 06 21:25:34 <set_> https://pastebin.com/GGxYasnp
May 06 21:26:13 <set_> Can anyone who uses motors and a L298 dual h-bridge see where I may be making a mistake in Python on this software?
May 06 21:26:56 <set_> The connections work. The BBB is up and running and processing fine. The issue is definitely what I know in Python.
May 06 21:26:59 <set_> Shoot at will!
May 06 21:33:02 <set_> just for reference...the software makes my motors slow. I stop the software w/ control-c and the motor turns a normal speed.
May 06 21:33:18 <set_> Oh!
May 06 21:33:36 <set_> Can anyone suggest some good books on motor control and Python?
May 06 21:33:38 <set_> ...
May 06 23:25:45 <set_> https://pastebin.com/xWQe3dX1 is how I got my motor to turn forward and backward w/out "for i in range(xx, xx):" ideas.
May 06 23:26:13 <set_> Check it out. This is my newest software from the BBB to a L298 motor driver.
May 06 23:26:15 <set_> ...
May 06 23:26:18 <set_> One motor only!
May 06 23:40:57 <black_13> where do I find a cross compiler for beagle bone that uses the http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.3-iot-armhf-2018-03-05-4gb.img.xz image
May 06 23:54:29 <set_> Hey: https://forum.digikey.com/t/beaglebone-blue-getting-started/350
May 06 23:54:32 <set_> This may help.
May 06 23:54:35 <set_> Let me keep looking.
May 06 23:56:37 <set_> black_13: Did you look?
May 06 23:56:43 <set_> linaro!
May 06 23:56:53 <set_> brb
May 06 23:59:17 <black_13> i am looking
May 07 00:04:27 <set_> Okay.
May 07 00:06:43 <set_> there is also crosstool-ng
May 07 00:08:32 <black_13> how do match tool chain to image on your board?
May 07 00:10:08 <set_> Oh...
May 07 00:10:28 <set_> black_13: I do not think you want to compile on your board.
May 07 00:10:42 <set_> Compile on the Ubunut or Debian Distro on a 64 bit machine.
May 07 00:11:38 <set_> ...
May 07 00:11:44 <set_> it is hard to explain on this chat.
May 07 00:11:56 <set_> Let me review and try to explain w/ a pastebin.
May 07 00:13:34 <set_> $ CC=arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabihf-gcc \ ./configure --host=arm-cortex_a8-linux-gnueabih
May 07 00:14:14 <set_> This may make your compilation once completed easy to make it to your target board.
May 07 00:14:16 <set_> ...
May 07 00:14:27 <set_> Do not quote me, though. I am a novice in this method.
May 07 00:15:21 <set_> black_13: There is a lot of work that goes into compiling and cross-compiling.
May 07 00:15:32 <black_13> yes!
May 07 00:15:35 <set_> it is not as easy as one, two, three.
May 07 00:15:51 <black_13> correct
May 07 00:16:08 <black_13> its better to download
May 07 00:16:16 <set_> I used crosstools-ng for a while to set up an environment on my board.
May 07 00:16:17 <set_> Yep.
May 07 00:16:39 <set_> ...
May 07 00:17:00 <black_13> yeah you have to build the cross compiler then you have to build all your libs and then finally build your app
May 07 00:17:10 <black_13> that defines the march of time.
May 07 00:17:38 <set_> Ah!
May 07 00:17:44 <set_> Steps!
May 07 00:18:17 <set_> Do you have this book, "Mastering Embedded Linux Programming?"
May 07 00:19:01 <set_> it uses crosstools-ng instead of linaro toolchain.
May 07 00:19:11 <black_13> ah
May 07 00:19:23 <black_13> i could buy right now
May 07 00:19:48 <set_> That book, once I read it, seemed to be straight forward and I got pretty far before I started to turn in dismay.
May 07 00:20:51 <black_13> i have done with yocto
May 07 00:20:55 <set_> I got to the sqLite section on page 36 before the commands started to piss me off.
May 07 00:20:56 <set_> Oh?
May 07 00:21:15 <black_13> and built usable images
May 07 00:21:27 <set_> But page 36 was just an example. I did not need it.
May 07 00:21:43 <set_> ...
May 07 00:21:54 <set_> I have some yocto books but they are all outdated now.
May 07 00:22:04 <set_> I stop testing w/ them recently.
May 07 00:22:47 <set_> ...
May 07 00:23:15 <black_13> i have the 2015 version of the book you mentioned
May 07 00:23:43 <set_> The book I was describing was produced in Dec. 2015.
May 07 00:24:00 <set_> Yea. That book is older but it is useful.
May 07 00:24:08 <set_> i.e. for a basis.
May 07 00:24:19 <black_13> ok i have it
May 07 00:24:22 <set_> Oh!
May 07 00:24:23 <black_13> i just checked
May 07 00:24:24 <set_> Cool!
May 07 00:25:03 <set_> Three years back is ancient w/ all the people are doing w/ their current configurations of ideas.
May 07 00:25:13 <set_> <<<< cannot keep up
May 07 00:28:30 <black_13> yea
May 07 00:28:36 <set_> black_13: If you get bored or hung up, let me know.
May 07 00:28:45 <set_> I will review what I have learned in that book.
May 07 00:28:46 <black_13> no i am reading
May 07 00:28:54 <set_> Okay.
May 07 00:30:03 <black_13> set_: so you have such and such image on the beaglebone you use libs already on the box
May 07 00:34:22 <set_> Um, what part are you on?
May 07 00:34:28 <set_> Page#?
May 07 00:34:55 <black_13> around 36
May 07 00:34:59 <set_> Okay.
May 07 00:35:00 <set_> Hold on.
May 07 00:35:17 <black_13> 11
May 07 00:35:30 <black_13> page 11
May 07 00:35:37 <black_13> and talking to a guy at the bar
May 07 00:36:06 <set_> Oh.
May 07 00:36:08 <set_> Okay.
May 07 00:36:22 <black_13> but i am reading
May 07 00:36:43 <black_13> but your compiler kernel headers are important components
May 07 00:37:26 <set_> Okay...so you got to QEMU already.
May 07 00:38:20 <set_>  sudo tunctl -u $(whoami) -t tap0 <<<<< see this section! I could not get this to configure on my Ubuntu Desktop correctly. I proceeded anyway.
May 07 00:39:51 <set_> tunctl is old news or something. I am just not sure. I kept researching the idea and came up empty.
May 07 00:39:53 <set_> Hold.
May 07 00:40:08 <black_13> ok i am going for a bit have to take my laundry home
May 07 00:41:25 <set_> Okay.
May 07 00:41:26 <set_> Later.
May 07 01:05:17 <black_13> set_: sir
May 07 01:10:34 <set_> Yeppers!@
May 07 01:11:10 <set_> brb
May 07 01:12:03 <black_13> but all parts need to match up.
May 07 01:17:14 <set_> what parts?
May 07 01:17:40 <GenTooMan> pieces parts parts are parts.
May 07 01:18:13 <black_13> the set of sets that are not contained in the set
May 07 01:18:26 <set_> Okay.
May 07 01:19:03 <set_> If you download tunctl from sourceforge, let me know how it works. If not, use the instructions. Is your main rig a Ubuntu/Debian machine?
May 07 01:19:32 <black_13> my machine right now is windows and will run a vm
May 07 01:20:03 <set_> That might work but I doubt. It is easier w/ Ubuntu/Debian machines. Serious.
May 07 01:20:24 <black_13> i can reboot on to ubuntu
May 07 01:20:30 <black_13> brb
May 07 01:20:34 <set_> Okay.
May 07 01:20:49 <black_13> before i go what is tuncl
May 07 01:21:16 <set_> tunctl is cmd from a project on Linux.
May 07 01:21:37 <black_13> ok brb
May 07 02:26:18 <Samb> join
