**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 13 02:59:57 2019 Jan 13 03:06:52 I was extracting attire from processing equipement so I could not where attire laden with left over dirt from the week. Jan 13 03:09:12 Oh. Jan 13 03:09:45 Textiles? Jan 13 03:13:22 Hello. Is something wrong w/ Debian? Jan 13 03:13:47 Forget it. Wrong board. Jan 13 03:27:01 set_ you need to write stuff down and attempt to keep things so you can follow the bread crumbs. Jan 13 03:27:16 set_ nothing like getting lost in your own memories. Jan 13 04:20:58 On it. Jan 13 04:38:20 I think I've got the right device tree overlay now: https://paste.serveur.io/aqj4jTJ3 Jan 13 04:38:24 doesn't conflict with anything Jan 13 04:39:29 using z.m.a.t.t's overlay-utils Jan 13 08:48:34 Hmm, BBBlue on 12V power with battery attached and powered down, does it charge? is the battery LEDs supposed to be on during charging? Just put one on power and battery, then pressed the power-button, one battery LED stayed on for some minutes, and then turned off. Jan 13 08:52:13 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iplayfast/beaglebone-blue/master/docs/BeagleBone_Blue_pinouts.png there seems to be a charging LED Jan 13 08:53:32 Yes, it just turned off rather quickly - Ahh... Jan 13 08:54:20 Thought that the battery hadn't been charged for several months, but now remember I had it powered not too long ago. Perhaps the battery is fully charged after all... Jan 13 08:55:29 just check the voltage across. if it's >8.3V then it's full Jan 13 08:57:44 Yes, I could do that. Jan 13 15:15:24 mawk: looks good Jan 13 15:16:21 well Jan 13 15:16:36 didn't you say you needed to interrupt on falling edge rather than low level? Jan 13 15:16:43 you still have low level here Jan 13 15:19:48 well that's what I thought Jan 13 15:19:57 but when I did so the module complained about it and asked for level Jan 13 15:25:03 so I don't know why I had spurious interrupts before, it was already low level when it did that Jan 13 15:25:05 but now it's settled Jan 13 15:31:27 ah ok Jan 13 15:34:21 and maybe using interrupts-extended = <&gpio1 17 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>; would be nicer than using interrupt-parent + interrupts Jan 13 15:35:07 to match every other resource reference specification, which is always of the form <&target args...> (or array thereof) Jan 13 16:05:46 ah ! nice Jan 13 16:05:48 thanks Jan 13 16:37:24 mawk: I've also adde a section to https://pastebin.com/XC8vB33d that tries to explain references to gpios, interrupts, and other such resources Jan 13 16:37:29 *added Jan 13 16:37:46 I wish some paste site had syntax highlighting for dts Jan 13 16:41:51 I made a paste site with even the most exotic languages, but it doesn't have dts Jan 13 16:42:54 ah, nice paste Jan 13 16:44:12 I should probably next add a section on busses, addresses, #address-cells and #size-cells Jan 13 16:44:25 but probably not today Jan 13 17:38:46 do you feel your perl parser in dtsi-to-overlay is robust enough ? Jan 13 17:39:26 it requires your source code is at least remotely sanely indented Jan 13 17:39:36 I don't try to parse the contents of a fragment Jan 13 17:41:58 the regex for one-line blocks is definitely technically, but I don't really see it being a problem unless you're *trying* to break it Jan 13 17:42:05 *definitely technically wrong Jan 13 17:55:17 because I feeled like writing a parser that you could use in your program; but if there are no obvious corner cases apart from indentation it's fine Jan 13 18:25:15 not worth the effort Jan 13 18:47:21 I'm pretty sure I started out working on a parser, but then I realized that this is way simpler and also perfectly adequate Jan 13 18:47:51 yeah Jan 13 18:49:32 later on I added support for one-liners, iirc mainly for the USE_PIN macro Jan 13 20:39:06 Which BB is capable of most usable number of PRU channels? For our project we need 30 realtime inputs at 5MHz. Jan 13 21:01:18 DC2018: check the x15 for maximum PRU, different soc, double the PRU from BBB Jan 13 22:19:23 not a complete noob but close here, received a bb blue the other day started connecting to it, wifi, updating etc. came back to the bench and no comms, I was using putty through wifi with a windows 10 machine. I tried a direct usb connection and cloud9, nada Jan 13 22:19:28 any help would be appreciated Jan 13 23:08:40 vdr! Jan 13 23:08:46 You came to the right place. Jan 13 23:08:56 How did you set up WiFi? Jan 13 23:09:12 Did you upload/install the recent image file yet? Jan 13 23:09:42 brb Jan 13 23:25:45 vdr: bbl. I am sure someone here can walk you through things. Jan 13 23:28:37 Ahhhh Jan 13 23:58:04 GenTooMan! Jan 14 00:02:31 I made an electronic motor controller out of the BBBW w/ a GUI-e-mail-security system. Jan 14 00:02:51 I do not know what to do w/ the motor just yet. Jan 14 00:04:09 I guess a clothes line sign can pass the person breaking in stating, "BUSTED!" Jan 14 00:05:06 Or a sharp pointy stick flying up out of the floor. Always freaky too see. Jan 14 00:07:27 That could work. What would I need is the question. Jan 14 00:07:43 A stick, some flying magic, and some time I guess. Jan 14 00:08:09 Well it wouldn't be fast if you use a screw thread drive. Likely a rack and pinion drive would work. Jan 14 00:08:21 Or! Jan 14 00:08:24 Compressed air? Jan 14 00:08:43 I think this is where the motor falls shy. Jan 14 00:08:58 That would be VERY dangerous. You are just trying to freak people out not perforate them Jan 14 00:09:06 Oh right. Jan 14 00:09:11 I almost forgot. Jan 14 00:09:33 Debian is not for James Bond type stuff. Jan 14 00:09:34 Got it. Jan 14 00:09:39 You would need a solenoid valve for that anyhow. A motor driven value would be strange. Jan 14 00:10:02 valve not value talking of typoing through the tulips Jan 14 00:10:06 Oh. Jan 14 00:10:31 I am using the MotorCape for the motors. Jan 14 00:10:47 zmatt even pitched in w/ his rendition of a wrapper. Jan 14 00:10:52 in Python. Jan 14 00:11:00 I was surprised. Jan 14 00:11:49 You know...motors are nice. So nice in fact, I think I should get a nice one finally. Jan 14 00:11:58 Save, save, save! Jan 14 00:12:24 They are not hard to come by but they are expensive. American made, nice motors, are very expensive. Jan 14 00:12:56 Now, that I have figured out how to incorporate the BBB w/ motors, nice motors is a fathomable idea. Jan 14 00:20:59 ... Jan 14 00:21:08 um cough, I think I lost my software. Jan 14 00:27:05 while else statements are a thing? Jan 14 00:35:58 set_: no I hadn't gotten that far but now I think I'll have to Jan 14 00:37:14 Okay. vdr: set up your new image at bbb.io/latest-images. Jan 14 00:37:36 They have a 10/2018 as the newest image as IoT and other. Jan 14 00:37:54 The "other" image has GUI. I would stick w/ IoT but it is your choice. Jan 14 00:38:14 and then... Jan 14 00:38:44 Set up WiFi. It is needed if you want to get libraries, use apt, and for git or whatever. Jan 14 00:39:34 vdr: Setting up WiFi is done in different ways. I use connmanct but you are welcome to set it up in any way you see fit. Jan 14 00:39:45 connmanct = connmanctl Jan 14 00:39:47 sorry. Jan 14 00:40:58 I had used connmanct1 to set up wifi, had it working, had used cloud9 to do it Jan 14 00:41:27 had run a motor control test... stepped away and now I can only see the device as a usb memory stick so to speak Jan 14 00:41:37 Oh. Jan 14 00:41:50 That is odd. I would set up the new image. I will get a direct link. Jan 14 00:42:01 no more com from 192.168.7.2 or 1, no more sshing into via wifi Jan 14 00:42:08 downloading image now Jan 14 00:42:26 Okay. Jan 14 00:42:47 Hey. were you using connmanctl or connmantct1? Jan 14 00:42:55 Or did you just make typo? Jan 14 00:43:50 Hey vdr: I do not use C9.io anymore or cloud9 on the server from the BBB. I just use the terminal that is installed. Jan 14 00:45:23 via ssh or PuTTY if I am on Win. Jan 14 00:46:16 There are some limitations w/ the Cloud9 (from what I can remember). Like C & P software comes to mind. Jan 14 00:47:00 Anyway...do what you want. Cloud9, BASH, terminals, whatever. But...connmanctl should work for the new image w/out any complications. Jan 14 00:55:23 vdr: Also! I found this ---> https://www.balena.io/etcher/ for if you are doing the image update w/out CC or dd. Jan 14 00:57:27 set_ "I just use the terminal that is installed" what terminal? Jan 14 00:57:51 Um, are you using Win or Linux? Jan 14 00:57:56 already burning 36% Jan 14 00:58:00 Okay. Jan 14 00:58:05 win Jan 14 00:58:13 PuTTY or google has one. Jan 14 00:58:20 I will go and find the google one again. Jan 14 00:58:27 used putty, didn't think to use it before wifi Jan 14 00:58:36 PuTTY still works, though. Jan 14 00:58:47 Yep, you can set up WiFi w/ connmanctl on PuTTY under Win. Jan 14 00:58:57 yes, it did after c9, i used it to get into through wifi Jan 14 00:59:10 ok, thanks Jan 14 00:59:49 No issue. Win 10 or another version? Jan 14 00:59:58 I will upload and install img, win10 Jan 14 01:01:17 Oh and w/ Win 10, if you do not already have the .img file, you will need to use software to "decompress" it. Jan 14 01:01:32 7-Zip works. Jan 14 01:02:37 https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell-extension/iodihamcpbpeioajjeobimgagajmlibd is the SSH I found. I have not used it yet. Be careful! Jan 14 01:02:50 did it, burning to sd with win32 disk imager now Jan 14 01:03:01 vdr: Try etcher. Jan 14 01:03:29 81% done, will do if no luck Jan 14 01:03:35 Okay. Jan 14 01:19:11 didn't work but I'm sure I did it wrong because I found this: https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-blue/wiki/Flashing-firmware Jan 14 01:19:34 where it says I need to be at a command line in the device Jan 14 01:19:48 https://beagleboard.org/getting-started Jan 14 01:20:44 You need etcher, 7-Zip, and PuTTY on Win 10. It is an easy method. I will walk you through it again or we can try a Linux machine if you have one. Jan 14 01:22:01 I have all those, etcher is at 51% Jan 14 01:22:21 What etcher version do you have? Jan 14 01:22:44 I think it states the version at the bottom, righthand corner of the GUI. Jan 14 01:23:51 1.4.9 Jan 14 01:23:52 vdr, you got a beaglebone blue? Jan 14 01:24:07 correct Jan 14 01:25:35 that github page seems to be not specific to the beagle blue. Jan 14 01:26:04 1.4.9 is a good one. I have not had any trouble w/ it. Jan 14 01:26:49 Are you using the eMMC or SD Card? Jan 14 01:27:50 I'm trying to flash with an SD card Jan 14 01:28:30 Did you already flash the eMMC w/ the updated image available at bbb.io/latest-images? Jan 14 01:28:38 here is the method that has never ever failed me. Jan 14 01:28:42 no Jan 14 01:29:10 the method is documented clearly on the image download page....not over on github. Jan 14 01:29:15 To turn these images into eMMC flasher images, edit the /boot/uEnv.txt file on the Linux partition on the microSD card and remove the '#' on the line with 'cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh'. Enabling this will cause booting the microSD card to flash the eMMC. Jan 14 01:29:17 Okay. So, you may want to do that or use a command to erase your eMMC. Jan 14 01:29:40 edit 1 file on the SD card.... remove a pound sign. Jan 14 01:29:49 and voila....it's a flasher image. Jan 14 01:30:35 this method has never failed me no matter what model of beagle. Jan 14 01:30:45 Hey Snert: does that update the bootloader on the eMMC when you uncommnet that line? Jan 14 01:31:30 after the procedure, the beagle will boot from flash. Jan 14 01:31:39 Per the instructions. Jan 14 01:32:06 Right, I understand that part but I think there are past bootloaders that need updating at times. Jan 14 01:32:21 vdr needs his blue to work. Jan 14 01:32:23 that's how. Jan 14 01:32:32 Okay. Jan 14 01:33:41 vdr going to do a beer run so eye'll be back ...... Jan 14 01:34:58 I think all that software for the Win computers are from England. I think the BBB had a good following at the England lands. Jan 14 01:35:25 i.e. PuTTY, 7-Zip, and the older windisk imager. Jan 14 01:36:12 But, like I said, PuTTY still works and does 7-zip for decompression. Jan 14 01:48:21 vdr! Jan 14 01:48:24 How did it go? Jan 14 02:02:23 working on it Jan 14 02:03:50 Oh. Where are you in the process right now? Jan 14 02:05:01 I've etched the sd card Jan 14 02:05:13 working on a linux machine Jan 14 02:05:26 had to divert to another computer Jan 14 02:05:30 I'll be back Jan 14 02:05:52 Later for now. Jan 14 02:07:19 vdr: I found a book on dd and getting images for Linux. Jan 14 02:07:26 So, let me know if no one else helps. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jan 14 02:59:56 2019
