**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 08 03:00:01 2018 Dec 08 03:07:34 <\dev\cache> anyone know the default root password or the default password for user debian on X15? Dec 08 03:11:27 <\dev\cache> Nevermind found it Dec 08 03:27:46 <\dev\cache> anyone around ive got a small issue, I am trying to resolve i cant seem to download anythingg bigger than 4gb on my microsd, I was hoping to store a couple ISO's nonetheless, can i reformat it to another FS, such as exfat? Dec 08 03:27:58 <\dev\cache> Ive tried it but now my microsd seems more or less unuseable Dec 08 03:28:35 you mean when booting from sd card or just using it as extra storage? Dec 08 03:28:45 in the latter case just use FAT Dec 08 03:29:01 in the former case you need to expand the filesystem to span the entire card Dec 08 03:29:04 <\dev\cache> just using it, as extra storage, FAT cant store files larger then 4gb Dec 08 03:29:36 ayjay_t: Do you know any youtube channel, prolific as Dave's (>1000 episodes, 30min average), but focusing in Embedded systems? Dec 08 03:30:09 \dev\cache: oh right. well then use ext4 Dec 08 03:31:10 exfat is not implemented in linux, it's proprietary and patented Dec 08 03:31:24 <\dev\cache> zmatt, ext4 would work? Dec 08 03:31:38 of course, it's the typical filesystem used on linux Dec 08 03:33:05 <\dev\cache> weirdly i was thinking exfat Dec 08 03:36:22 exfat is proprietary to microsoft (no public specification) and its implementation is said to require patent licenses from microsoft Dec 08 03:37:12 so although implementations exist, I suspect linux distros aren't going to touch those with a ten foot pole Dec 08 03:37:47 or, never mind, you could apt-get install exfat-fuse apparently :P Dec 08 03:38:17 not that I recommend doing so unless you really really absolutely can't live without it Dec 08 03:40:41 <\dev\cache> no i will do ext4 Dec 08 03:40:52 <\dev\cache> just my beagle still keeps getting hot Dec 08 03:40:57 <\dev\cache> while just 'on' Dec 08 03:41:15 this is on the latest image? Dec 08 03:41:31 <\dev\cache> dont have pc to flash new image on ssd Dec 08 03:41:33 <\dev\cache> err sd Dec 08 03:42:09 hmm, you could download and flash it in one go, without storing it anywhere in between... hold on Dec 08 03:45:37 make sure an sd card is inserted in your beagleboard Dec 08 03:46:03 make sure it is not mounted, i.e. nothing is shown in the MOUNTPOINT column if you do: lsblk /dev/mmcblk0 Dec 08 03:46:43 erase the sd card using sudo blkdiscard /dev/mmcblk0 Dec 08 03:49:21 and then Dec 08 03:50:26 wget -O - https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bbx15-debian-9.5-lxqt-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz | xzcat | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=8M iflag=fullblock oflag=dsync status=progress Dec 08 03:50:52 actually also pass the --quiet flag to wget Dec 08 03:51:04 otherwise the output probably becomes messy Dec 08 03:52:19 hopefully your x15 doesn't overheat in the meantime Dec 08 03:54:37 you could also try limiting your cpu to 1 GHz using: sudo cpufreq-set -r -g powersave Dec 08 04:09:05 <\dev\cache> zmatt: thank you i will try the thing you mentioned above Dec 08 04:16:51 <\dev\cache> zmatt: arent you supposed to specify an input file? Dec 08 04:31:55 <\dev\cache> zmatt: do i need to uncomment the line in /boot/uEnv? Dec 08 04:44:52 <\dev\cache> wow this beagleboard is so strange, i cant find proper documentation for it anywhere Dec 08 04:44:58 <\dev\cache> its like looking for a needle in a hay stack Dec 08 05:53:58 CoffeeBreakfast: no youtube channel, definitely not as big as Dave's, but some people like "the embedded muse's" email list Dec 08 05:54:01 i actually kinda like it Dec 08 05:54:07 i was really suprised Dec 08 06:13:33 \dev\cache: what do you mean? Dec 08 06:13:53 \dev\cache: "specify an input file" ? Dec 08 06:19:10 \dev\cache: just to be sure, here's the commands I'm suggesting as a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/Dbcv8pbp Dec 08 06:22:55 \dev\cache: once you've been able to flash an sd card like, try booting from it (just reboot while the card is inserted) Dec 08 07:26:12 hey guys Dec 08 07:26:21 what did i miss, any fun conversations Dec 08 07:53:27 just the backwards slash guy and zmatt duking it out a hot chip Dec 08 07:53:36 over? Dec 08 07:54:04 yeah Dec 08 07:54:08 so fair warning Dec 08 07:54:12 no i mean what was it over? Dec 08 07:54:14 my typing accuracy is very low Dec 08 07:54:24 oh not really duking it out Dec 08 07:54:29 just trying to debug literally a hot chip Dec 08 07:55:16 they're on the x15 tho i think Dec 08 07:55:20 which is like,t he $200 version Dec 08 07:55:24 a couple dsps, embedded m4s, prus Dec 08 07:55:29 pcie i think, sata Dec 08 07:55:35 ooooh that sounds fancy Dec 08 07:55:42 didnt know such a thing existed Dec 08 07:56:07 yeah its all the co processors that makes my head spin Dec 08 07:56:51 2xA15/2xC66/2xm4/4xpru not to mention gpus Dec 08 07:57:02 its super fancy but i'm not sure i'd go for it Dec 08 07:57:08 like even in an application Dec 08 07:57:25 its a lot to integrate that on one soc and i'm not sure that having several chips is really a down Dec 08 07:58:40 i mean it sounds like a high end swiss army knife for systems testing Dec 08 07:59:04 yeah if the platform is built out Dec 08 07:59:24 like i mean, i don't, it just seems like coprocessors are challenging in general Dec 08 08:02:04 anyway yeah i'm like totally burnt out on javascript and golang its been 100% web dev for me Dec 08 08:02:14 just user management Dec 08 08:02:20 need to integrate this tiny cad app we built Dec 08 08:02:32 these to-do lists get bigger before they get smaller Dec 08 08:44:10 Hi all, I have bricked my beagleboneblack and now I cannot connect through ssh, anybody could help me to recover it? Dec 08 08:52:14 donc3 look into the sd flashing procedure Dec 08 08:55:22 I dont have ssd into the beagle Dec 08 08:55:26 I'm with emmc Dec 08 08:56:04 there we go Dec 08 08:56:06 fixed it Dec 08 08:56:11 what did i miss Dec 08 08:56:20 also donc3 you dont have an sd card? Dec 08 08:56:48 not now Dec 08 08:57:03 I have it in another house in another city Dec 08 08:57:10 theres a usb flashing method too, but i dont remember it Dec 08 08:57:20 ayjay_t might remember it? Dec 08 08:57:31 the usb server thing? Dec 08 08:59:00 :( Dec 08 08:59:58 donc3 look up uh.... beaglebone dfu? Dec 08 09:00:02 are you on linux, btw? Dec 08 09:00:16 itll make life a lot easier to be on linux for this part Dec 08 09:02:22 yes Dec 08 09:02:28 im in arch linux Dec 08 09:05:37 yeah, then you can trying looking around in github for beaglebone usb server? Dec 08 09:08:29 yes i'm trying to find something Dec 08 09:11:20 @hedgeberg i can't find anything Dec 08 09:11:33 buy I have found a sd card Dec 08 09:12:15 mmmk, then just dd the stretch image from the beaglebone website onto the sd card Dec 08 09:12:33 then find the instructions on the script that you need to edit to turn it into a flasher Dec 08 09:12:54 https://github.com/TheThingSystem/steward/wiki/Bootstrapping-the-BeagleBone-Black-with-Debian#installing-debian-wheezy Dec 08 09:13:04 is this tutorial valid? Dec 08 09:13:29 the booting from sd part is Dec 08 09:13:54 the rest isnt Dec 08 09:14:21 the flash to emmc after booting from sd is not? Dec 08 09:14:23 the image you download from their website is all you need Dec 08 09:14:30 yeah, you dont need to do any of that Dec 08 09:15:27 but do you used to install the image en emmc? Dec 08 09:15:40 so, its weird Dec 08 09:15:50 theres a script in one of the folders, one second, let me dig this up Dec 08 09:18:13 Uploaded file: https://uploads.kiwiirc.com/files/75d9b60bf88e9f0be43b8a552f9ba597/pasted.txt Dec 08 09:18:18 here we go Dec 08 09:18:23 no that just got annoying Dec 08 09:18:26 i guess it works Dec 08 09:18:44 basically, just dd the image from the beaglebone website to the sd card Dec 08 09:18:58 then, mount it on your arch machine and go to /boot/uenv.txt Dec 08 09:19:21 yes Dec 08 09:19:25 edit it Dec 08 09:19:28 uncomment cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh Dec 08 09:19:39 and then youre done, unmount the sd card Dec 08 09:19:52 and boot your bbb from sd, and it should start flashing Dec 08 09:20:07 like, the lights will do a blinking back and forth pattern Dec 08 09:20:13 like a ping pong ball Dec 08 09:20:24 if it does that, its working, and you just need to wait until the emmc reflash is done Dec 08 09:20:28 and then youre set Dec 08 09:20:37 ok Dec 08 09:20:56 I'm going to try it Dec 08 09:20:59 hahaha Dec 08 09:21:08 I guess it works Dec 08 09:21:08 ? Dec 08 09:21:17 its doing the ping-pong pattern? Dec 08 09:21:23 no... Dec 08 09:21:30 what is it doing Dec 08 09:21:31 i'm still flashing Dec 08 09:21:34 in sd Dec 08 09:21:42 oh, ok Dec 08 09:21:59 yeah, its a really simple process tbh. Dec 08 09:22:15 i thought it was a lot trickier previously but it turns out it was probably because of a dead DRAM chip Dec 08 09:22:47 got a different bbb, and plugged in the sd card after dd'ing and making that edit Dec 08 09:23:29 and then just held the button down, plugged in the cable, and after like 5 seconds the lights started doing the blink pattern Dec 08 09:23:34 and after that you just wait until its done Dec 08 09:24:13 oh real quick can you paste the dd command you used donc3 Dec 08 09:24:21 just want to make sure you didnt make an easy mistake Dec 08 09:27:26 sudo dd bs=1m if=bone-debian-9.5-lxqt-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz of=/dev/rdisk1 Dec 08 09:30:24 is it ok? Dec 08 09:30:52 well bs=1M not 1m Dec 08 09:35:57 no its not Dec 08 09:36:01 im glad i checked Dec 08 09:36:09 you need to uncompress the image Dec 08 09:36:15 yes Dec 08 09:36:21 I now sorry Dec 08 09:36:37 xz -d bone-debian-9.5-lxqt-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz Dec 08 09:36:40 yup Dec 08 09:36:45 sudo dd bs=1M if=bone-debian-9.5-lxqt-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img of=/dev/sdc1 Dec 08 09:36:47 and this Dec 08 09:37:01 not /dev/sdc1 Dec 08 09:37:18 why not? Dec 08 09:37:20 you want /dev/sdc (assuming sdc is the actual card and not some hard drive, be really careful) Dec 08 09:37:30 ahh sorry Dec 08 09:37:57 sdc1 refers to the first partition on block device sdc Dec 08 09:38:09 you want to write to the raw block device at a non-partition level Dec 08 09:38:18 I know but I though it doesn't matter Dec 08 09:38:33 it does, because the image has its own partition table Dec 08 09:39:08 so if you write to /dev/sdc1, youll write the partition table onto the start of what should be a partition header Dec 08 09:39:16 so anything will parse that as corrupt, usually Dec 08 09:39:44 also, you dont need bs= Dec 08 09:39:57 thats a really, really old legacy holdover from floppy disk days Dec 08 09:40:06 nowadays, linux handles block writes for you Dec 08 09:40:31 and, i usually add status=progress in there Dec 08 09:40:36 gives a nice ui Dec 08 09:42:05 donc3 i should be clear here, not all images have their own partition table, but this one does Dec 08 09:42:26 ok done Dec 08 09:42:28 an image file can be an image of whatever you want, so you can just take an image of a partition, or you can take an image of the whole block device Dec 08 09:42:37 and know what should I do? Dec 08 09:42:43 mount the sd card Dec 08 09:42:47 yes Dec 08 09:42:51 and edit /boot/uenv.txt Dec 08 09:43:23 there should be a line like this: #cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh Dec 08 09:43:29 change it to this: cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh Dec 08 09:43:34 and I have 4 files ces.3.gz ice.3.gz ice.3.gz and z Dec 08 09:43:47 I dont have /boot Dec 08 09:43:52 ...what? Dec 08 09:44:27 no no Dec 08 09:44:34 sorry know I have all Dec 08 09:45:01 so its all there? Dec 08 09:45:07 yes Dec 08 09:45:35 ok changed Dec 08 09:47:34 ok great, save and unmount Dec 08 09:48:51 yes Dec 08 09:49:02 ok, make sure the beaglebone is unplugged Dec 08 09:49:14 then, put the sd card in the beaglebone Dec 08 09:49:25 hold down the button as instructed in that guide Dec 08 09:49:35 and without letting go of the button, plug in the usb cable Dec 08 09:50:12 and hold the button until the lights turn on and start to blink Dec 08 09:50:30 and they should start to do the pingpong pattern ocne they do Dec 08 09:50:36 yes Dec 08 09:50:37 like this Dec 08 09:50:54 ? Dec 08 09:50:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o885-0BmEpo Dec 08 09:51:05 yup Dec 08 09:51:09 are they flashing? Dec 08 09:51:18 like in the video Dec 08 09:51:27 nice, youre all set then Dec 08 09:51:30 is it ok?? Dec 08 09:51:32 it will power off when its done Dec 08 09:51:37 perfect Dec 08 09:51:41 yup Dec 08 09:51:51 and then which ip should it get? Dec 08 09:52:04 uhhhhh 192.168.7.2 if youre using usb Dec 08 09:52:12 ok Dec 08 09:52:16 you can also do usb serial using minicom Dec 08 09:52:22 so if ssh doesnt work, check with that Dec 08 09:53:36 but usb serial is not showing in /dev/ttyusb* Dec 08 09:53:45 I have tried before Dec 08 10:00:04 ls /dev Dec 08 10:00:11 and look for /dev/ttyACM0 Dec 08 10:00:17 i think bbb uses acm, not usb Dec 08 10:03:20 did flashing finish? Dec 08 10:08:31 i have to head to sleep Dec 08 10:08:32 good luck Dec 09 02:53:10 yuhhhh **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Dec 09 03:00:01 2018
