**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 04 02:59:58 2016 Aug 04 17:40:08 ! I just had a chat with gregkh ... I AM SERIOUS !!!!!! Aug 04 17:40:39 he has been a GSoC mentor for BB before Aug 04 17:40:48 lots of people have :) Aug 04 17:40:50 s/chat/question-answer/g Aug 04 17:41:15 yeah ! but I too had :) (smiley with a big eyes) Aug 04 17:41:36 how did it go? you figure things out? Aug 04 17:42:15 hehe Aug 04 17:42:21 gregkh is very chatable ;) Aug 04 17:42:33 Well, that was just a general chat, not specific. But yes, about the APIs. I have a better understanding now, and some structure on paper. Aug 04 17:42:58 good Aug 04 17:43:15 WOW !!! I had a chat with gregkh ! Aug 04 17:43:17 haha ! Aug 04 17:43:27 next up, Mr T. ;) Aug 04 17:44:05 I pity the foo that doesn't mainline his linux kernel drivers! Aug 04 17:44:17 haha ! hh... should hold myself. Aug 04 17:44:31 ZeekHuge: Do you work now ! Aug 04 17:44:36 ZeekHuge: okay. Aug 04 17:44:44 :P Aug 04 18:19:04 hey bradfa I read your mail. I am really sorry for the delay in commits. I will update the code asap. Aug 04 18:20:25 Also regarding the tasks regarding the multi-byte transfer that you have asked me to do, I have thought that maybe I could expand the driver for a 16 or 32 bit transfer? bradfa ? Aug 04 18:22:32 Maybe store the bits in a 32 bit variable and then transfer data to the firmware 8 bytes at a time? That way I wouldn't have to modify the firmware a lot. Aug 04 18:22:48 8 bits Aug 04 18:29:30 chanakya_vc: word size and multi word/byte transfers are different things Aug 04 18:29:52 chanakya_vc: I had thought you were going to have the equivalent of a FIFO for MISO and MOSI, no? Aug 04 18:32:26 Well bradfa I didn't go for the FIFO. Right now the driver is taking the value from the userland and storing it in a uint8 variable. If you want that multiple bytes should be transferred , all I have to do is just increase the size of that variable. And then in size of 8 keep writing data to the firmware Aug 04 18:32:39 I mean it essentially represents a fifo Aug 04 18:33:11 without explicitly declaring one. Aug 04 18:33:31 Like the driver is temporarily storing the extra bits. Aug 04 18:46:30 bradfa, I will be replying to all your queries in your mail by tomorrow morining (my time)along with my plan and what I have done so far in I2C and how I expect to achieve multi-byte transfer in SPI. Aug 04 18:47:18 Please give me some time to research on that. Aug 04 18:47:23 morning. Aug 04 18:50:01 chanakya_vc: ok, I look forward to your status update Aug 04 18:51:22 Thank you so much bradfa . I won't disappoint you. Aug 04 18:52:24 Been slow in doing in things due to fever.But I seem to fine now bradfa . Aug 04 18:53:45 But apart from the multi-byte transfer, SPI seems to be working fine bradfa . I think it is quite complete. Aug 04 19:00:05 bradfa, Anything else you would want that I do with SPI. Because I guess I have more or less covered all the features I proposed in my proposal? Aug 04 19:03:39 Is it possible to access internet on BeagleBone Black without Ethernet cable ? Aug 04 19:04:03 yup amragaey Aug 04 19:04:12 how ? Aug 04 19:04:34 You just need to declare your laptop as a default gateway Aug 04 19:04:43 Wait I will get you a linl Aug 04 19:04:46 link Aug 04 19:04:49 thanks Aug 04 19:04:54 ok Aug 04 19:08:04 amragaey, https://elementztechblog.wordpress.com/2014/12/22/sharing-internet-using-network-over-usb-in-beaglebone-black/ Aug 04 19:08:44 Here the command on the BBB adds your laptop as a default gateway so all requests are forwarded to your laptop Aug 04 19:09:06 great, thanks alot chanakya_vc, will try it no Aug 04 19:09:07 now Aug 04 19:11:27 No problem amragaey . Do tell me if it works. Aug 04 19:11:39 *whether Aug 04 19:19:50 this step fails -> ifconfig eth5 192.168.7.1 Aug 04 19:20:24 changing it to eth0, it goes into loop I think! Aug 04 19:21:32 hmmn amragaey , there is a eth5 in the third line also Changed that also? Aug 04 19:22:29 no, the above step almost disconnected the board :D Aug 04 19:23:14 ohh :D Aug 04 19:23:38 Change that and see if it works or not amragaey Aug 04 19:26:12 amragaey: using ubuntu ? Aug 04 19:26:25 yes Aug 04 19:26:34 not working amragaey ? Aug 04 19:26:41 chanakya_vc, no, doesn't work Aug 04 19:28:23 amragaey: better , system setting > Network > Wired > options > ipv4 settings > Method = manual and then add 192.168.7.1 as address and 255.255.255.253 as the netmask Aug 04 19:29:04 setting things using ifconfig foo up/down usually is temporary as network manager changes those settings. Aug 04 19:29:27 ZeekHuge, That's what those commands do too I guess. Works for me. Aug 04 19:29:43 amragaey: and then reconnect. Aug 04 19:29:53 I only have Wireless networks Aug 04 19:30:12 amragaey: BBB is not connected > Aug 04 19:30:13 ? Aug 04 19:30:23 lsusb ? Aug 04 19:30:45 let check again, the previous command diconnected it Aug 04 19:31:24 you can check in dmesg then ... Aug 04 19:32:50 amragaey: ? Aug 04 19:34:01 reconnecting now Aug 04 19:35:20 doesn't connect :DD Aug 04 19:35:40 whats your ifconfig output ? Aug 04 19:36:12 i can't access ssh now :D Aug 04 19:36:34 so you were able to ssh earlier ? Aug 04 19:37:07 yes, something wrong happens..let me check it Aug 04 19:37:09 I though you were not able to connect at all. Aug 04 19:38:28 In that case, I am sorry, please just revert changes. The point I told was about connecting the BBB. I though you were not able to connect to 192.168.7.2 Aug 04 19:38:34 amragaey: ^^ Aug 04 19:39:38 no nothing at all, thanks for help. this may be something with my USB connection, I'll figure it out Aug 04 19:40:08 amragaey: can you please restate your problem again ? Aug 04 19:40:09 thanks ZeekHuge Aug 04 19:40:36 I just wanted to connect my BB to internet without ethernet cable Aug 04 19:41:22 amragaey: after you connect your bbb and are able to ssh into, you need to change iptable settings on your host to that.

Aug 04 19:44:19 bash: Internet-interface: No such file or directory Aug 04 19:45:08 os sorry, I have to change th if Aug 04 19:45:46 you need to replace that with your internet interface, something like wlan0 Aug 04 19:46:07 at last, to check if all this works, try this 'ping 8.8.8.8' Aug 04 19:48:41 100% packet loss Aug 04 19:48:47 I'll use thernet cable for now Aug 04 19:48:50 thanks ZeekHuge Aug 04 19:49:08 haha ! yeah ! Aug 04 19:50:26 tmate becomes handy in such cases .... anyway .. Aug 04 19:59:00 :D Aug 04 20:08:54 still having trouble with forwarding? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Aug 05 02:59:58 2016
