**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Feb 27 02:59:58 2020 Feb 27 03:00:05 I typed iwconfig Feb 27 03:00:28 I need to put power-management on from what I remember. Feb 27 03:00:31 It is off for now. Feb 27 03:00:36 I need to read more on it. Feb 27 03:02:17 192.168.1.1 is that your wifi gateway? Feb 27 03:03:28 what happens if you ping 192.68.1.1 Feb 27 03:03:39 what happens if you ping 192.168.1.1 Feb 27 03:04:01 Please hold. Feb 27 03:04:03 I will check. Feb 27 03:04:42 It pings well. Feb 27 03:06:25 Got me by the short.... Feb 27 03:07:11 Are there any other interfaces plugged in Ethernet? Feb 27 03:07:17 Yes. Feb 27 03:07:34 Whats the Iface for 192.168.1.1 Feb 27 03:07:55 I have my ethernet plugged in right now. I am trying to set up wifi for the board again and try w/ the specific ip address when I sign in. Feb 27 03:08:20 Sorry. I do not know Iface. Feb 27 03:10:52 I cannot remember if I had an LED on this dongle. Feb 27 03:10:56 I am testing. Feb 27 03:14:20 Type in route it's the far right column Feb 27 03:15:53 I typed in iwlist scan. Feb 27 03:16:03 I bunch of stuff has been detected now. Feb 27 03:17:46 try route looking at the far right column Feb 27 03:19:37 Okay. I just rebooted. Feb 27 03:19:45 I need changes to take affect. Feb 27 03:20:27 KenUnix: WHy do you want to know my route right column section. It was just stating usb0, usb1, and eth. Feb 27 03:26:40 Never showed wlan? Feb 27 03:30:20 I'm sorry I do it the old way Feb 27 03:30:56 Hey. Feb 27 03:31:23 Remember me old school Feb 27 03:31:24 I found, on one of these debian sites, how to upgrade the firmware on this dlink chipset. Feb 27 03:31:35 KenUnix: I am about to try again. Feb 27 03:33:18 Were are all the 143 people here, here? Feb 27 03:36:51 Ha. Feb 27 03:37:04 Hey. I am in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ right now. Feb 27 03:37:07 I am looking around. Feb 27 03:37:35 On the right side of my screen it shows 143 names listed Feb 27 03:37:41 The firmware category does not have it. Feb 27 03:37:42 Right. Feb 27 03:37:44 Bots. Feb 27 03:37:57 Off to compile. Feb 27 03:50:36 Gotta go Feb 27 08:43:34 HI Is there any debian buster-lxde/lxqt ready image for beagle ? Feb 27 09:53:24 Hello Feb 27 09:53:42 I have a question regarding bluetooth in beaglebone black wireless board Feb 27 09:53:58 Anyone that have an experince on it ? Feb 27 09:54:02 with it* Feb 27 16:10:18 m Feb 27 17:22:54 hey everyone Feb 27 17:24:33 i wanted to say that i'm looking forward to get into beagle board through gsoc so waned tp ask if someone could help me a bit with what skill set i need to have for that with some references if possible Feb 27 20:27:09 Nevil didn't stick around. Feb 27 20:44:05 how can I power sata for bb-x15? I believe I need some external power supply? Feb 27 20:49:12 are you using an eSATA drive? Feb 27 20:52:54 GenTooMan: I don't know Feb 27 20:54:49 It's just sata Feb 27 20:57:08 I believe the SATA interface is eSATA which normally has it's own power supply thus I think your answer is YES look at wikipedia on SATA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#Power_connectors, you can buy external supplies or cases to make something eSATA check https://github.com/beagleboard/beagleboard-x15/blob/master/BeagleBoard-X15_Quick-Start-Guide.pdf Feb 27 20:59:31 GenTooMan: ok, so it seems it should work with esata-sata cable Feb 27 21:00:41 at least page 8 says so Feb 27 21:01:51 your drive likely will still need power, if you have a sata drive. That means 12V and 5V power needed. Feb 27 21:03:43 hm, but the manual doesn't say this Feb 27 21:03:53 depends on the drive mostly. Feb 27 21:04:40 mine requires 5 V and 1.7 A Feb 27 21:05:33 must be an SSD might work fine if it's an SSD if it were a magnetic most likely it would want 12V Feb 27 21:06:41 yeah Feb 27 21:10:26 I suppose the x15 doesn't come with that cable :D Feb 27 21:11:17 Nope :( Feb 27 21:11:31 But I think I have some in my lab Feb 27 21:13:29 heh... it took me 5 days to find my other LCD ... if things go the same way with you ... see you next week? :D Feb 27 21:26:15 Hm, I forgot to mention, that I will look in my uni lab Feb 27 21:26:25 so, more probably, next month Feb 27 21:29:14 that's next week... Feb 27 21:31:04 yeah, that was a punch line... Feb 27 21:31:52 anyway, I want to install debian, kvm and another linux, can I do it on sd card? Feb 27 21:40:31 from memory (vague) to use an eSATA you boot from SD and it loads the bootloader from the HD, so if you can find or create a boot menu to select available boot options, probably. Feb 27 21:44:21 I wonder if debian sid (unstable) was named after sid barret (first drummer for pink floyd). Feb 27 21:53:04 all debian releases are named after Toy Story characters Feb 27 21:53:55 Sid is the sadistic neighbour kid Feb 27 21:58:54 Ah that makes sense, at least they won't run out of release names anytime soon. it may take a few decades if that's the case. Feb 27 22:55:15 Hello, does Beagle Bone AI come with power supply or do is there is kit version available Feb 27 22:55:45 you need an usb-c power supply, it doesn't come with one Feb 27 22:57:32 will 5V, 2A power supply work Feb 27 22:58:14 I'm not sure what the recommended current rating is, but 5V 2A worked for me Feb 27 22:58:27 grt, thx Feb 28 01:01:32 Hey, is the fiasco over at the EW? Feb 28 01:01:50 How long does that thing last? Feb 28 01:12:49 Hay set_ how did you make out last night? Feb 28 01:14:09 set_ hows your wifi? Feb 28 01:19:15 No good. Feb 28 01:19:29 I cannot figure out what happened b/c i forgot to .backup my file. Feb 28 01:19:46 NOw, I am stranded w/ a new image that needs to be wrote to the SD Card. Feb 28 01:19:55 wrote! Feb 28 01:20:24 But...no time for that now. It is time to reboot this "puppy." Feb 28 01:20:26 bbl. Feb 28 01:28:03 Stuff happens set_ more often than not just like I had copies of code but somehow they got deleted :D Feb 28 01:30:22 I decided on a wifi adapter. see it here: https://www.bc-robotics.com/shop/usb-wifi-module-with-antenna/ Feb 28 01:40:31 If that has an SMA connector on it you can place the antennae where you need it. Feb 28 01:51:46 Claims to work with BBB on USB port. Feb 28 01:53:57 see : https://github.com/psiphi75/beaglebone-tips/blob/master/Readme-Beaglebone-8812au.md Feb 28 01:54:23 well their are many variants of configurations for that. the drivers are probably already on board however it's a RTI8188 IC looks like Feb 28 01:55:41 Nice to know. But it dosen't hurt to have info. THX GenTooan Feb 28 01:59:25 It Feb 28 01:59:27 See more here: https://kiranpalla.com/blog/setting-up-usb-wifi-on-beaglebone-black-ubuntu-16-04/ Feb 28 02:00:23 is VERY power hungry. Just a warning it wants 600ma so they have to have a switching regulator in it. 5V to 3.1/3.2V would give the best margin I suppose. Feb 28 02:00:56 It requires 500ma at 5V to work and from the current draw I concur it does. Feb 28 02:03:08 data sheet... it doesn't give you all the RF requirements but lets just so not a DIY project unfortunately. Feb 28 02:03:12 https://www.datasheet4u.com/datasheet-parts/RTL8188ETV-datasheet.php?id=1101112 Feb 28 02:03:57 I ordered a 5V 2.5A supply for BBB barrel feed. Me thinks I will also need a powered USB hub. Feb 28 02:05:49 Thanks for the point to the info sheet. I saved a copy. Feb 28 02:16:46 Well hmm in any case it appears linux has support for the RTL8188 and hence it's compatible with the device. RealTech likely contributed it but hey most realtech stuff is half decent at least. Feb 28 02:20:43 You can get "embedded" hubs IE USB hubs without a case attached and just a PCB they aren't cheap (for some stupid reason) Feb 28 02:21:30 Cases are expensive...bzzt! Feb 28 02:22:32 People like gear. Feb 28 02:22:53 Not just working attributes are liked but the gear for those attributes are nice too. Yammean? Feb 28 02:23:47 I say that to say this: There was a fellow on Tindie boasting about aluminum BBB cases but he stopped for unheard reason. Boo! Feb 28 02:24:42 I would have paid a whopping board cost for a nice aluminum (w/ heatsink) casing that grips the BBB and cools too. Feb 28 02:25:56 I saw a photo of it. It was made from thick aluminum and probably shocked people, literally. It just gripped the curvature of the BBB oh so rightly. Feb 28 02:27:06 so here is a wifi device with SMA connector https://www.ebay.com/itm/150-Mbps-Wireless-USB-WiFi-Adapter-MT7601-RTL8188CU-Wi-Fi-Receiver-Dongle-2-DU/312984023628?hash=item48df4d324c:g:eTMAAOSwb9Rdm~Yu also their are modules to meet most of the FCC requirements which is interesting. Feb 28 02:35:44 This looks a nice case https://www.amazon.com/BeagleBone-Black-Case-Enclosure-Acrylic/dp/B017GDENT2/ Feb 28 02:36:40 This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/components-BeagleBone-Transparent-assemble-seconds/dp/B00HSDT2NI/ Feb 28 02:37:09 Yea. I have seen some that are aluminum on adafruit's website. I was going to fashion one together one day. Feb 28 02:37:44 I just do not have a ton of time for aluminum stuff. I should try w/ some fancy plates first w/ some rubber outlining. Feb 28 02:39:03 Powered switched usb hub $14 bucks https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Individual-Switches-Included-HB-UMP3/dp/B00TPMEOYM/ Feb 28 02:40:20 do you plan on battery powering your system? Feb 28 02:42:23 no. Feb 28 02:46:22 This one supports usb 1.1 to 3.0 https://www.amazon.com/Leedemore-Adapter-Transfer-laptop-Ultrabook/dp/B01EKU1XKG/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp?cv_ct_cx=powered+usb+hub&keywords=powered+usb+hub Feb 28 02:48:20 The one I just listed says Linux compatible. I like that. Feb 28 02:51:01 almost anything USB is compatible with linux :D Feb 28 02:56:31 Well in 2008 that wasn't the case in truth. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Feb 28 02:59:57 2020
