**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 26 02:59:57 2020 Nov 26 03:02:22 Oh. I think they, the older versions, run out of support. Nov 26 03:02:31 LTS = Long Term Support Nov 26 03:03:38 I think people like new, "faster" gadgets w/ "fancy" whistles and sometimes people forget about older stuff like the image support issues and etc. Nov 26 03:04:43 Sort of. Nov 26 03:05:13 I have noticed that some people support the am335x on other boards, SiP and SoC, w/ other images and kernels. Nov 26 03:10:10 Man... Nov 26 03:10:27 I am back in business to the frogBot. I got scared. Nov 26 03:13:39 It makes sense. What is frogBot? Nov 26 03:14:22 and yes, I am a full-grown man. Oh? frogBot? An idea I have for a bot is half frog and half bot but 100% electromechanical. Nov 26 03:15:01 Everyone makes dogs. Why dogs? No offense. Frogs are neat too. Nov 26 03:19:06 I like it, that's pretty cool Nov 26 03:19:12 You're using beaglebone for that? Nov 26 03:20:05 Yes. BBGW or BBBW. Nov 26 03:20:32 BeagleBone Green Wireless has some downfalls b/c of lack of pins available but it is still a neat board. Nov 26 03:21:24 it's a careless misdesign Nov 26 03:22:09 I use it w/ a Motor Bridge Cape. @zmatt: STILL! Nov 26 03:22:20 I may never grow up now. Nov 26 03:24:55 Oh yeah, I have a MultiTech LTE cat1 modem, I'm trying to connect to that too via the board. I'm not asking for help, just letting you know because I thought it was cool Nov 26 03:25:09 Can your frogBot hop yet set? Nov 26 03:26:39 No, not yet. I put off all mechanical endeavors until the software was done. I mean, I can test stepper, servo, and/or dc motors in the meantime but not all in one package at once yet. So, no. No sir. Nov 26 03:27:25 Still very cool, can't wait for you to get off the ground Nov 26 03:28:08 Ha. Me too! I just thought about it. Landing? Nov 26 03:28:27 how can this things land if it cannot balance and now how. Nov 26 03:44:46 Well, frogs flop. Maybe a flopping frog is due. Nov 26 15:50:16 Hi Nov 26 15:51:31 I replaced the libc.so file in the rootfs of a BeagleBone Black. I realize now that it was a stupid thing to do. Can anyone point to me some documentation where i can upgrade the rootfs now with a new one ? Nov 26 15:51:59 Is TFTP from the bootloader possible ? Or is there a better way ? Nov 26 20:27:54 (that was indeed a stupid thing to do) Nov 26 20:29:35 Yes. I incure. Nov 26 20:29:39 Concure. Nov 26 20:29:40 Sorry. Nov 26 20:29:44 concur Nov 26 20:29:48 Dang it. Nov 26 20:30:05 Happy Thanksgiving! Nov 26 20:30:28 BBB turkey and BBB ham! Nov 26 20:30:32 All around. Nov 26 20:30:42 that's a USA-specific celebration Nov 26 20:30:52 Yes. Nov 26 20:30:59 :P Nov 26 20:31:04 and...it is full of family and food! Nov 26 20:31:09 Well, for most people. Nov 26 20:31:32 Me, on the other hand, I get notta. Boo and bah humbug! Nov 26 20:31:49 I should have cooked a duck. Nov 26 20:32:32 the "full of family" part this year being limited to morons who think large family gatherings are a good idea during a pandemic Nov 26 20:34:03 Ha. Right-o. Pandemic, COVID-19 relations is a big deal. There is no such thing as Herd Imuninity. Nov 26 20:34:44 I mispelled again. Sheesh. Nov 26 20:34:57 Off to learn more. Nov 26 20:34:59 Yikes. Nov 26 20:36:25 Something else that seems to be a bad move on the BBB front, I tried to flash the STMF0 processor on the Motor Bridge Cape. Nov 26 20:36:26 Oops. Nov 26 20:36:35 why on earth would you do that? Nov 26 20:36:37 Now, the Cape has been held useless. Nov 26 20:36:43 *facepalm* Nov 26 20:37:09 I do not know. I wanted to try to add some other ideas to my knowledge base. Nov 26 20:37:27 Now, the old firmware script to "make flash" does not work. Nov 26 20:37:30 I cannot go back. Nov 26 20:37:45 I am receiving errors in the flash script. Nov 26 20:38:07 Something about GPIOs and not having access to them. Nov 26 20:38:50 don't paraphrase errors, create a paste showing your exact steps and the resulting output Nov 26 20:39:11 https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/MotorBridgeCapeFirmware/issues Nov 26 20:39:18 I created an issue. Nov 26 20:39:35 with a bizarre title Nov 26 20:39:46 I tried many alternatives. Python, Python3, a new toolchain, and other ideas. Nov 26 20:39:56 Ha. Nov 26 20:40:15 I know. Nov 26 20:40:20 you don't need a toolchain, the firmware is supplied in compiled form Nov 26 20:40:24 The title is not descriptive. Nov 26 20:40:25 Oh. Nov 26 20:40:48 I thought it called the toolchain in one of the...aw. Nov 26 20:40:49 Okay. Nov 26 20:41:05 it looks like the gpios are missing for some reason Nov 26 20:41:24 is cape-universal enabled? Nov 26 20:41:27 Right. They are all located in /sys/class/gpio/gpiochipX. Nov 26 20:41:32 I do not know. Let me check. Nov 26 20:42:18 Yes. and it =1. Nov 26 20:42:42 enable_uboot_cape_universal=1 Nov 26 20:43:23 It is almost like I do not have access to those GPIOs unless I give the correct PATH. Even w/ the correct PATH, i get errors. Nov 26 20:43:41 assuming you have show-pins installed, pastebin the output of "sudo show-pins | sort" please Nov 26 20:43:49 correct PATH ? what the fuck are you blabbing about? Nov 26 20:43:50 Okay. Please hold. Nov 26 20:43:54 OH. Nov 26 20:44:02 PATH is almost certainly fine by default Nov 26 20:44:17 and is completely irrelevant to accessing gpios Nov 26 20:44:19 In the flash script, it states /sys/class/gpio/gpio49. Nov 26 20:44:48 But, when I look up the location for the gpio49, it is not located after it is exported in /sys/class/gpio/gpio49. Nov 26 20:45:26 It is indeed located in /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip32/gpio/gpiochip1/gpio49 Nov 26 20:45:48 what the fuck did you do to your system Nov 26 20:45:57 Ha. I just wrote a new image. Nov 26 20:46:00 what kernel are you using? Nov 26 20:46:04 I am trying from scratch. Nov 26 20:46:09 kernel... Nov 26 20:46:12 Oh. Please hold. Nov 26 20:46:13 uname -r Nov 26 20:46:44 4.19.94-ti-r57 Nov 26 20:47:09 please pastebin the output of "ls /sys/class/gpio/" Nov 26 20:47:14 Okay. Nov 26 20:48:58 (and I'm also still waiting for the show-pins output) Nov 26 20:49:30 https://pastebin.com/ha56Zpbv and okay about the show pins. Please hold about the show-pins. Nov 26 20:50:21 okay so gpio49 is just not exported, presumably because it's marked as in use Nov 26 20:50:49 and you're probably just wrong about it being in /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip32/gpio/gpiochip1/ Nov 26 20:52:06 I checked but okay. I can export it manually. Nov 26 20:52:10 It works. Nov 26 20:52:13 I have tried it. Nov 26 20:52:35 https://pastebin.com/pCYEUJh0 Nov 26 20:52:37 no it doesn't, since the script tried to do exactly that and your transcript shows it gets an error Nov 26 20:52:40 that is show-pins. Nov 26 20:52:43 Okay. Nov 26 20:52:50 It is not exported right now. Nov 26 20:53:28 @zmatt: Let me try to catch you up real quickly on my system. I just flashed a new image and updated the kernel. Nov 26 20:53:55 this show-pins output is puzzling... Nov 26 20:54:07 can you reboot and try show-pins again? Nov 26 20:54:13 Sure. Nov 26 20:54:15 Please hold. Nov 26 20:55:30 I need to show you the new issues/errors I have come across w/out switching up like I did w/ my older system that stopped working. Nov 26 20:55:50 like, there are a bunch of pins that are really weird Nov 26 20:55:59 So, since reflashed my entire image, I have a different issue. Nov 26 20:56:06 Oh. Nov 26 20:56:49 this is a BBGW ? is it even compatible with the motor bridge cape? Nov 26 20:57:54 Yes and yes. Nov 26 20:58:05 I have another BBGW w/ the Motor Bridge Cape on it. Nov 26 20:58:13 It works just dandy. Nov 26 20:58:34 https://pastebin.com/MLPhB3wR Nov 26 21:00:02 and... Nov 26 21:00:07 now P9.23 looks normal Nov 26 21:00:12 This is the new error. Nov 26 21:00:38 https://pastebin.com/Eb76jJGJ Nov 26 21:00:58 I wonder if attempting to export the gpio actually breaks it Nov 26 21:00:59 For some reason, I do not have access to the GPIO pins in question. Nov 26 21:01:07 Maybe. Hmm. Nov 26 21:01:12 also, it's missing configuration for the uart it uses Nov 26 21:01:37 Right. I noticed in the source, it used ttyO2 and not ttyS2. Nov 26 21:01:52 it is a dated upload to the chip. Nov 26 21:05:08 @zmatt: I know this is interesting. Is it okay if we pick up later where we left off this time? Something needs my attention and i Have to go. Nov 26 21:05:30 I am sorry. Nov 26 21:05:31 I almost have a suggested set of steps to try Nov 26 21:05:36 but yeah you can ask later Nov 26 21:05:44 Thank you, sir. Nov 26 21:05:56 After a couple of hours, I should be back here. Nov 26 21:06:06 I will just ask. Thank you again. Later for now. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 27 02:59:56 2020
