**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 27 02:59:58 2013 Aug 27 03:54:14 mluckham, sorry, my wife called me away... Aug 27 03:54:23 I'm *just* getting back Aug 27 06:57:28 vvu thanks for the info. perhaps you can also addd how to power up BBB in usb boot mode Aug 27 09:14:12 koen: did you have the chance to take a look at the update in the bb_dc_motors ROS package?, it's commented at http://beagleros.wordpress.com/ Aug 27 09:14:23 koen: let me know if you'd like me to add anything else Aug 27 09:32:02 * koen looks Aug 27 09:32:48 vmayoral: looks OK Aug 27 09:33:25 koen: all right, i got contacted a couple of times already asking this and that about the project Aug 27 09:34:11 koen: so i'm working now in FAQ. In the following days i'd like to work more in the documentation Aug 27 09:34:16 vmayoral: I need to dig up examples, but you can 'request' a pwm to get exported to sysfs Aug 27 09:34:20 ah, there it is Aug 27 09:34:21 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.embedded.yocto.meta-ti/2434. Aug 27 09:34:23 gah Aug 27 09:34:27 https://plus.google.com/100242854243155306943/posts/UbxDZahNoKv Aug 27 09:35:10 but afaics the names ('1' in this case) aren't discoverable Aug 27 09:36:48 i sort of wrote that down in the code as a comment https://github.com/vmayoral/bb_dc_motors/blob/master/src/example_P9_16.cpp#L14 Aug 27 09:37:15 i didn't to hardcode that but i can do it if you consider necessary Aug 27 09:37:26 i didn't want* Aug 27 09:37:35 the current linux pwm infrastructure is very minimal Aug 27 09:37:50 doing it right would involve fixing the kernel, which is out of scope for this gsoc Aug 27 10:36:30 keesj_: do you have the kernel with those 2 configs from my post ? Aug 27 10:47:41 av500: ping Aug 27 12:34:48 vvu: I will first test without I have a different kernel Aug 27 12:35:09 mhmh the app will crash i think or hang Aug 27 12:35:26 need to find a workaround for that Aug 27 12:35:47 now i`m putting android on a BBB to see if it works with this setup Aug 27 13:26:41 vvu: but like I said. it states "MLO! started" or similar but that's all I saw. it doens't crash. Aug 27 13:26:52 did u do a git pull Aug 27 13:26:52 ? Aug 27 13:27:13 or nevermind it will say that anyway Aug 27 13:27:24 i need to find a way to check if the user has the right kernel... Aug 27 13:27:36 if your kernel does not have that stuff in it it`s useless to test Aug 27 13:27:43 it won`t work as expected Aug 27 13:27:46 in what order do you flash ? 1 start android app , 2 plug BBB to phone while S2 is pressed ? Aug 27 13:28:12 start app, download image, plug BBB with s2 pressed Aug 27 13:28:14 vvu: are you 100% sure? Aug 27 13:28:15 then click flash Aug 27 13:28:18 yes Aug 27 13:28:28 i tried with a bad kernel without those 2 configs and it does not work Aug 27 13:28:39 you need the RNDIS_HOST_DRIVER in the kernel Aug 27 13:28:58 * vvu booting android on the BBB takes forever Aug 27 13:29:24 perhaps it is in debug mode or first boot Aug 27 13:29:37 first boot Aug 27 13:29:38 :) Aug 27 13:29:43 both? Aug 27 13:30:02 1st time i`m booting the uSD card with android on it Aug 27 13:30:06 debug mode dunno how to activate Aug 27 13:41:01 magically android crashed Aug 27 13:43:32 keesj_: any idea if android has vnc server in it? Aug 27 13:44:35 not by default no. but from an ide you can run and debug code on Android (adb is also pretty good) Aug 27 13:45:18 but i need remote usb debugging to be active Aug 27 13:45:39 any idea how can i activate without the an app? on the nexus devices i have something from play store that does it for me Aug 27 13:45:40 <_av500_> activate it Aug 27 13:45:45 <_av500_> in settings Aug 27 13:45:56 or over the network. Aug 27 13:46:41 If I rember correctly you can start adbd yourself or it is even stated by default depending on a property file Aug 27 13:48:37 also watch kashim . he does talk about VNC https://code.google.com/p/rowboat/ Aug 27 13:49:15 I talked to him about using the video gadget but it was a bit late in my project Aug 27 13:52:19 lets see if ecliplse plays well with it Aug 27 13:53:32 not android studio? Aug 27 13:54:05 nop...it was buggy when i tried it Aug 27 13:54:12 now it works ok as i heard but too lazy to change Aug 27 13:56:17 ahhh the android on the BBB it`s landscape Aug 27 13:56:39 <_av500_> most hdmi monitors are Aug 27 14:02:00 _av500_: my android does not fit in the screen of the hdmi monitor i have...should i make the resolution small on the BBB ? Aug 27 14:02:12 i have http://www.sony.lv/product/tv-66-26-lcd/kdl-26s4000/technical-specifications#tab Aug 27 14:03:51 <_av500_> define "does not fit" Aug 27 14:03:54 <_av500_> overscan? Aug 27 14:03:58 <_av500_> edges missing? Aug 27 14:04:19 edge missing Aug 27 14:04:22 edges Aug 27 14:04:39 changed now to video=1280x720-16@60 maybe it will work Aug 27 14:04:51 seems smaller now the android logo...lets wait until it fully boots Aug 27 14:05:30 <_av500_> normally is overscan independnet of resolution Aug 27 14:05:43 <_av500_> try to disable overscan on your TV Aug 27 14:07:04 now i can see better the edges Aug 27 14:07:09 cuts just a bit but it`s fine Aug 27 14:11:33 this is just bad luck...the BBB does not like my usb hub Aug 27 14:19:56 'v Aug 27 14:19:59 sorry Aug 27 14:20:17 _av500_: the BBB android sees the BBB other BBB as rnids host Aug 27 14:20:23 so i think we are covered here for the project Aug 27 14:21:00 i need to get vnc working on android or a good usb hub to continue testing, the one i have does not work Aug 27 14:26:30 _av500_: i`m offline for today! have a great day Aug 27 14:29:46 <_av500_> ok **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Aug 28 02:59:58 2013
