**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 29 02:59:56 2021 Mar 29 03:20:47 zmatt could I bother you with some questions? Mar 29 03:22:00 I mean... you just did. notice how the channel topic syas "don't ask to ask, just ask" :P Mar 29 03:23:00 generally however you should just ask your questions without directing them to a specific person... in the end what you're looking for is answers to your question, not answers from a specific person (who may or may not be here, and may or may not have time or even know the answer) Mar 29 03:56:28 ... or don't, I guess? Mar 29 03:58:50 sorry Mar 29 03:58:56 I was looking in my archives Mar 29 04:00:21 I was thinking to go back to useĀ  FE1.1, using a setup similar to this Mar 29 04:00:22 https://image.easyeda.com/histories/eeabf023006d4692bef92f269817b48a.png Mar 29 04:00:31 but like we talked, this kind of setup is kinda garbage Mar 29 04:00:37 so I wanted to make it better, Mar 29 04:01:24 I wanted to confirm the way to do is to add a power switch with overcurrent protection on the upstream side between pocket beagle and the hub Mar 29 04:01:45 and some pull up and pull down resistor in some places, what would these places be Mar 29 04:01:53 and to add filter, right? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Mar 29 06:28:42 2021 Mar 29 12:14:36 During the Beagle Bone Black reboot, sometimes the Ethernet port does not work. Mar 29 12:18:50 are you the same person who had such a problem a few days ago? Mar 29 12:21:36 either way, can you elaborate on how it doesn't work? Mar 29 12:52:39 This issue occurs rarely for me. I am using a Server in one BBB and try to communicate the Server BBB with other Client BBB via Ethernet port. On Reboot the Ethernet port LED's are not glowing. Until I reboot again, this issue persists. Mar 29 12:53:57 which kernel version are you running? Mar 29 12:57:58 i am using 4.14 Mar 29 12:58:54 then it's not the same bug that's been bothering me Mar 29 13:00:46 I couldn't get you Mar 29 13:01:33 I found a bug in 5.10, but your kernel is too old for that Mar 29 13:02:19 Ok got it. Mar 29 13:03:31 but this issue may be in all the versions of kernel, may be in 4.14 as well, Did you find any? Mar 29 13:05:36 [Sat 8:53 pm] kveremitz: and no, the ethernet issue was never fixed, it is a hardware issue Mar 29 13:05:36 [Sat 8:58 pm] kveremitz: https://pastebin.com/z7a7Tn4C Mar 29 13:11:14 Ok, Thank you for the update. Let me check that and come back to you. Mar 29 18:55:27 zmatt: are you familiar with the 8250_omap serial driver? Mar 29 18:55:58 got someone over in the #uboot channel struggling to get serial output .. but my BB appears to use the older omap_serial Mar 29 18:56:26 also, not sure whether he's getting stuff from uboot ok or where the apparent issue is yet Mar 29 18:57:04 uboot output or Linux output on the serial? Mar 29 18:57:38 name of the serial device changed in Linux for omap__serial - ttyOx vs ttySx for 8250 Mar 29 19:30:41 ds2: yeah this is what I'm figuring out .. my BBB is definitely ttyO0/1 .. and he has ttySx up Mar 29 19:30:52 its 115200-8N1 yes? Mar 29 19:35:16 console=ttyO0,115200n8 seems like it :D Mar 29 19:38:19 Hello, I'm trying to find out the MTBF for the PocketBeagle. Does anyone know what that would be? Mar 29 19:54:59 yes 115200 8n1 Mar 29 20:00:23 ds2: ok so we're talking 2014 uboot and kernel 3.14 .. that's ancient .. LOL Mar 29 20:00:40 hopefully the guy will come over .. alex88 I think is the nick Mar 29 20:00:55 but... the kernel was finished at 2.6.32 Mar 29 20:20:47 heh :D Mar 29 20:20:55 I remember those days! Mar 29 21:28:34 kveremitz: when using 8250_omap it should be console=ttyS0,115200n8 though ttyO0 may work too thanks to a kernel config option that creates backwards compat ttyOx -> ttySx symlinks Mar 29 21:28:55 ooh fancy, ty zmatt Mar 29 22:09:37 hey guys did anyone built a custom linux for bbb with yocto? do I really need meta-ti for that? I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKpLQ2bGsAk and it is 2 years ond now. is this still a necessity? Mar 29 22:23:05 its been awhile since messing with yocto/oe but i would suspect if your going to use the normal yocto for ti's stuff you'll want the meta-ti as my impression was that's ti's bsp support Mar 29 22:23:54 i finally just went about building my embedded linux systems the way i always have but i did find yocto interesting Mar 29 22:25:42 and for users starting out down the embedded linux road it seems like a decent build system as theres alot of support for a variety of hardware Mar 29 22:26:35 you'd need meta-ti for advanced power and thermal management and maybe DT overlayes. otherwise beaglebone-yocto machine from meta-yocto-bsp will suffice for mainline bsp Mar 29 22:57:23 I am learning about yocto now. This is neat! Mar 29 22:57:45 You can build from scratch and have time for other tasks! Mar 29 22:58:02 if you have a fast computer Mar 29 23:00:33 Nope! I can work all day on what it is doing! Mar 29 23:00:37 Phew. Mar 29 23:00:50 Breaks are what processing is all about! Ha. Mar 29 23:01:01 xkcd 303 Mar 29 23:01:15 mru: What is updated for beagleboard-yocto? Mar 29 23:01:31 no idea Mar 29 23:01:35 I want to make sure that poky knows I am...oh. Mar 29 23:01:43 Okay. Mar 29 23:01:53 Yea. It is going to take up some space. Mar 29 23:02:11 rm_work is your friend Mar 29 23:02:24 Okay. I am calling it ham this time. Mar 29 23:02:44 put this in your local.conf: INHERIT += "rm_work" Mar 29 23:02:49 Okay! Mar 29 23:02:52 Thank you. Mar 29 23:03:21 What does rm_work do? Mar 29 23:03:32 it deletes the build trees and such when they are no longer needed Mar 29 23:03:37 Oh! Mar 29 23:03:38 Okay. Mar 29 23:03:57 I might do a couple from-scratch runs before getting into it again. Mar 29 23:03:57 saves many gigabytes of space Mar 29 23:04:01 Oh! Mar 29 23:04:03 Okay. Nice. Mar 29 23:04:43 a fast ssd or, even better, a large tmpfs is recommended Mar 29 23:05:30 Oh. Mar 29 23:05:36 I have an older disk computer. Mar 29 23:05:45 It is spinnin' now! Mar 29 23:06:14 Supposedly, I need 56 extrr GB of space. Mar 29 23:06:23 That is not so bad on my end but I am using WSL2. Mar 29 23:06:37 I should have stuck w/ Debian on this effort. Mar 29 23:07:53 Is it possible to use the repos. for the bb.org-overlays and the other one too on these poky business? Mar 29 23:09:02 I saw what @denix typed earlier and I looked up those items of interest. Mar 29 23:09:34 I may stick w/ meta-ti so I can use the DT stuff/overlays. Mar 29 23:12:32 set_: regular bbb DT is in mainline for long time. overlays are still being "standardized" though... Mar 29 23:14:06 Oh. Mar 29 23:14:42 So, I guess getting a specific distro to put on the BBB already has these DT files? Mar 29 23:15:04 in other news, it seems like nothing supports booting a beaglebone (white) rev A2 any more Mar 29 23:15:41 8% Mar 29 23:28:41 Oh! Mar 29 23:28:51 I got a SSD! Mar 29 23:29:00 I should have used it. Mar 29 23:29:49 @denix: How would I install the overlays in a poky distro for meta-ti on the BBB? Mar 29 23:30:07 Just by git and then using the install commands? Mar 29 23:32:49 I'm cramped with my 12T of disk space at the moment. Mar 29 23:34:46 Ha. Mar 29 23:34:56 I got 256 GB to work w/ as of now! Mar 29 23:35:05 12T...yikes! Mar 29 23:35:37 I thought you were saying your back was cramped. Ha. Mar 29 23:37:30 I checked w/ yocto and their meta layers. Mar 29 23:37:41 I did not find beaglebone on their lists. Mar 29 23:37:54 They have the pi and others but it is missing the BBB, what gives? Mar 29 23:59:31 Well...I am going to miss the meeting now b/c Zoom Client and yocto hate each other! Mar 30 01:36:46 Guess what? No power and no WiFi at the 'Maker Faire' this year. Mar 30 01:37:13 boo! It is like these people are trying to rush out electronics before it can actually take place. Mar 30 01:46:05 'Welcome to CaveWorld Faire where you can pick up rocks and toss them!' Mar 30 01:46:36 Okay. I am done complaining...blab. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 30 02:59:56 2021
