**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 08 02:59:57 2012 Feb 08 04:40:16 anyone familiar with systemd + connman on angstrom? Feb 08 07:32:06 dear australia Feb 08 07:32:19 consider changing the gradient of your train platforms Feb 08 07:32:23 kthxbye Feb 08 07:33:12 Russ: you fell of one? Feb 08 07:33:17 +f Feb 08 07:33:51 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhoCj_-LFp0 Feb 08 07:35:42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXE2U3TDZwM Feb 08 08:20:27 hmmm Feb 08 10:25:50 koen: mru: http://www.linuxdevelopment.org/projects/Tower.jpg Feb 08 10:25:54 uses netsync Feb 08 10:29:35 hey have anybody experience with the setting up the gpios on the beaglebone. by the way i'm using not the angstrom demo. i'm using the debian squeeze demo Feb 08 10:52:25 kylus_: so ask in #debian Feb 08 10:53:01 av500: did Rob do that? Feb 08 10:53:12 u know him? Feb 08 10:53:24 and yes Feb 08 10:53:48 koen: you can see it at EW Feb 08 10:54:11 I've worked with Rob in the past Feb 08 10:54:24 2006-ish Feb 08 10:54:48 today isn't going to be a good day Feb 08 10:55:33 my coffee break project ended up with bandaids and bloodstains everywhere Feb 08 10:55:41 wow Feb 08 10:55:48 I hope the other guy looks worse Feb 08 10:56:03 time to buy a proper M5 tap instead of using those self tapping screws Feb 08 10:56:26 at least you have an M5 tap in your right knee now Feb 08 10:56:33 can always come in handy Feb 08 10:56:44 hands free with shopping bags Feb 08 10:56:53 :) Feb 08 10:57:13 whoever invented M5 needs to be shot anyway Feb 08 10:57:44 when I need M5 all I find is M4 and M6 Feb 08 10:58:02 and whenever I need M6 or M4, all I find are stupid M5 screws Feb 08 10:59:45 right Feb 08 10:59:59 turns out I have M4 t-slot 'bolts' Feb 08 11:00:16 so I need to source some more M4 bolts Feb 08 11:00:39 (or drill a hole, tap a thread and use M5) Feb 08 11:00:55 http://techpaladin.com/2011/12/07/mendelmax-build-frame-part-1/ Feb 08 11:02:12 koen: M4 screws censored in .NL? Feb 08 11:02:36 no, I just ran out Feb 08 11:02:49 so, I agree with 11:57 < av500> and whenever I need M6 or M4, all I find are stupid M5 screws Feb 08 11:05:38 koen: building a reprap? Feb 08 11:07:25 Hmm, I once wanted to build a robot using those nice aluminium parts used for that frame in the url above, but was unable to find them in a shop around the corner. Feb 08 11:07:51 dwery: yes Feb 08 11:08:03 koen: very nice! I shall do it too sooner or later Feb 08 11:08:15 aholler_: I discovered it's cheaper to order from the UK than to use the shop around the corner Feb 08 11:08:26 UK where? Feb 08 11:09:12 koen: I ddidn't found that stuff in the internet, the company which has sold that, seemed to have vanished. Feb 08 11:09:45 anyway, wood is usable too ;) Feb 08 11:11:16 at least if it isn't a CNC machine ;) Feb 08 11:12:46 what machine is it then? Feb 08 11:12:51 a flute? Feb 08 11:13:21 as I said, a robot Feb 08 11:15:23 driving around, able to carrying about 50kg, so not one of those small ones. Feb 08 11:22:17 that one was my first attempt: http://ahsoftware.de/BigRobbi.avi ;) Feb 08 11:24:09 aholler_: fetchMeBeerBot? Feb 08 11:24:38 exactly, should become something like a moving table Feb 08 11:27:07 the second design with larger tires (around 30cm) is still waiting for completion (since 3a) ;) Feb 08 11:30:51 better than my robot, which is still a pile of scrap wood in the corner and wheels never ordered.... Feb 08 11:30:58 but one day.... Feb 08 11:43:38 dwery, aholler_: http://reprap.org/wiki/Extrusions Feb 08 11:46:24 koen: just print some Feb 08 11:47:32 * dwery loves those extruded profiles Feb 08 11:50:11 av500: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10261 Feb 08 11:59:16 Hi Feb 08 11:59:40 back on the road agaain Feb 08 12:02:30 I kinda need help on beginning on the beagleboard-xm, i guess... Feb 08 12:03:22 I tried to install the Angstrom demonstration, but I don't get a serial shell when the boot terminates... Feb 08 12:03:40 pastebin a boot log Feb 08 12:03:49 OKay Feb 08 12:04:09 i want to set kernel boot parameter: "noautogroup", what is the correct way to do it ? (I tried some methods but they were not permanent) Feb 08 12:04:45 http://pastebin.com/6kkwxc5S Feb 08 12:05:14 ** Unable to read "uEnv.txt" from mmc 0:1 ** Feb 08 12:05:31 nothing after that? Feb 08 12:05:46 Nothing at all Feb 08 12:05:49 I bet there is no console set up Feb 08 12:05:53 yeah Feb 08 12:05:54 in the cmdline Feb 08 12:06:05 tty)2 versus ttyS maybe? Feb 08 12:06:20 or that Feb 08 12:06:21 u-boot much newer than kernel or vice versa Feb 08 12:06:28 image looks old, baed on 2.6.32 Feb 08 12:06:51 u-boot is recent, so console is set to ttyO2 Feb 08 12:07:08 I took everything on the same website from the elinux howto Feb 08 12:07:49 So I should set the uEnv.txt to help it give me a serial shell ? Feb 08 12:08:07 you could stop the boot and "printenv" Feb 08 12:08:20 that would be a good idea Feb 08 12:08:24 amandarn: i suggest you to install directly an image, it is the easiest way ;) Feb 08 12:08:25 Oh, okay Feb 08 12:09:38 parana: I'll try if I really fail at this... Feb 08 12:10:09 amandarn: which kernel you are trying to install now? Feb 08 12:10:40 The first I found online, a 2.6 Feb 08 12:11:00 the image 01.2012 is 3.0.14+ Feb 08 12:11:24 and has latest packages inside .. Feb 08 12:11:32 I just wanted to test if the beagleboard was booting and if my usb to serial converter worked... Feb 08 12:11:56 hmm ok, then keep trying.. Feb 08 12:12:00 What distribution is this image ? Feb 08 12:12:04 Angstrom ? Feb 08 12:12:09 yes Feb 08 12:12:21 angstrom with x11 visual package Feb 08 12:12:55 hmm Feb 08 12:13:53 amandarn: all you need to do is download image and then "dd if=...pathtoimage/image.img of=/dev/sde" Feb 08 12:13:58 I'll try to setenv first... I see the bootargs are not set Feb 08 12:14:08 hmm, so tempting Feb 08 12:14:27 amandarn: first set bootargs then dont forget to save with "saveenv" Feb 08 12:14:44 OKay Feb 08 12:20:10 av500: for setting noautogroup kernel boot parameter, is not it the correct way: on booting setting it with "setenv bootargs noautogroup" ? Feb 08 12:21:23 hmm. I guess I'll try the image... Feb 08 12:23:04 amandarn: no saveenv if you have XM Feb 08 12:23:11 thus use uEnv.txt Feb 08 12:23:19 OH, okay Feb 08 12:23:24 dwery: you mentioned a more recent canutils, but afaics 4.0.6 is the latest Feb 08 12:23:47 mm.. let me check Feb 08 12:25:08 koen: I compiled can-utils from the socketcan svn Feb 08 12:25:25 the syntax of .e.g. cansend is quite different wrto the one in angstrom Feb 08 12:28:19 I can't find any version number there :( Feb 08 12:28:52 dwery: if I look at pengutronix git there's only one patch extra, -e Feb 08 12:29:00 funnily enough done by TI people Feb 08 12:29:12 is that the one you want? Feb 08 12:29:57 koen: for setting noautogroup kernel boot parameter, is not it the correct way: on booting setting it with "setenv bootargs noautogroup" ? Feb 08 12:30:34 I'm used to the one in http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/?#ad2b18e83f266ecc9c76d20a254f82581 Feb 08 12:30:47 some files have change timestamp in 2011 Feb 08 12:31:10 others are much older Feb 08 12:31:25 I must find where the official development is happening Feb 08 12:32:33 parana: i don't find the 2012.01 image on angstrom website... should I generate it with the narcissus thing ? Feb 08 12:32:45 nope Feb 08 12:32:51 parana: I have no idea what noautogroup is Feb 08 12:32:58 I tried http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ Feb 08 12:33:26 dwery: I look at http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=tools/canutils.git;a=summary Feb 08 12:33:53 amandarn: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ Feb 08 12:34:07 it is true Feb 08 12:34:17 Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beagleboard-2012.01.11.img.gz Feb 08 12:34:49 Oh Feb 08 12:34:51 dwery: ah, it seems svn has seen more commits Feb 08 12:35:16 Damn, really sorry, it was right in front of me... also, thanks. Feb 08 12:35:38 * koen wonders why there's a .gitignore in canutils svn Feb 08 12:36:18 bbl Feb 08 12:37:21 koen: as i read, noautogroup is a kernel boot argument for disabling sched_autogroup (@ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled). Feb 08 12:37:33 koen: i want old scheduler.. Feb 08 12:40:53 and there's nothing on the internet about uenv.txt? Feb 08 12:41:20 nope Feb 08 12:41:35 i added noautogroup to uEnv.txt Feb 08 12:41:39 but not worked Feb 08 12:45:41 * koen googles for uenv.txt Feb 08 12:46:20 * koen lycoses for uenv.txt Feb 08 12:46:26 both give a ton of results Feb 08 12:47:53 parana, what exactly didn't work? you mean uenv.txt? cause noautogroup will work if you actually get it on the cmdline Feb 08 12:50:19 mdp: uEnv.txt works, but i want to disable autogroup scheduler Feb 08 12:50:40 parana: maybe ask in #linux Feb 08 12:51:02 and when i write "noautogroup" "noautogroup=1" "noautogroup=true" ...it doesnt work Feb 08 12:51:09 parana, and you are 100% sure your cmdline args appears in "Kernel command line"? Feb 08 12:51:35 av500: sure? i tried 1 month ago and they said "ask to your distro. angstrom is debian based" Feb 08 12:51:57 mdp: yes Feb 08 12:52:32 mdp: because normally my lcd was flickering but when i write some commands to uEnv.txt about lcd, it worked.. Feb 08 12:53:21 parana, ok, well, that's pretty bulletproof code, guess it depends on the age of your kernel Feb 08 12:53:53 the flag very clearly prevents all the of the autogroup functionality from executing Feb 08 12:54:09 parana, I would take av500's advice :) Feb 08 12:54:33 mdp: about go ask in linux ? :) Feb 08 12:54:40 you bet Feb 08 12:55:00 ok i will Feb 08 12:55:26 my prediction is that it only appears to you that autogroup functionality is still enabled Feb 08 12:55:28 just fwiw Feb 08 12:56:14 very tough to get "if !0 [then] goto out" to fail :) Feb 08 12:57:15 parana: do you see your "noautogroup" in the kernel command line? if yes, then you managed to set it Feb 08 12:57:17 when i write "cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled" it writes 1 Feb 08 12:57:57 parana, that means you just turned the option back on Feb 08 12:58:36 the cmdline option simply whacks the autogroup sysctl flag to 0 Feb 08 12:59:37 av500: how can i check kernel command line? Feb 08 13:00:09 cat /proc/cmdline Feb 08 13:00:15 or in the dmesg as it scrolls by Feb 08 13:00:41 "Kernel command line" is what you're looking for in dmesg, fwiw Feb 08 13:00:43 av500: no there is not Feb 08 13:02:52 av500: mdp: also "vi /proc/cmdline" not works Feb 08 13:03:37 yeah, vi is crap Feb 08 13:03:45 lol Feb 08 13:05:23 notepad /dev/mem .. CTRL-A .. DEL .. CTRL-S Feb 08 13:06:25 here I was predicting the suggestion of "opkg install emacs" Feb 08 13:06:35 "lucid-emacs" :) Feb 08 13:07:05 parana, 'cat /proc/cmdline' Feb 08 13:07:14 [14:00:08] cat /proc/cmdline Feb 08 13:07:50 mdp: i can see inside Feb 08 13:07:56 but not edit Feb 08 13:08:10 true Feb 08 13:08:24 its like trying to edit the lottery results Feb 08 13:08:27 I'm ready for scotch Feb 08 13:08:31 neat, but pointless Feb 08 13:22:47 av500: mdp: i edited mdp but when i reboot it turned back to normal.(Erased edited word) Feb 08 13:24:34 you cannot edit it Feb 08 13:26:19 :) sorry i edit /proc/cmdline Feb 08 13:34:11 aholler_: do you know about noautogroup command? Feb 08 13:34:29 if you edit me then I prefer to be edited by vim Feb 08 13:34:43 mdp: :D:D Feb 08 13:38:39 parana: since you fail to set this cmdline option, knowin about it gains you little Feb 08 13:46:09 koen: looking at cansend, the one on gitorious seems similar to the one in socketcan/canutils, while is different from the one in pengutronix Feb 08 13:48:06 heh Feb 08 13:48:13 I hope someone CAN figure it out Feb 08 13:49:01 :D Feb 08 13:50:04 I'd go for http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/socketcan/trunk/can-utils/ , it has more and newer commits Feb 08 13:52:55 parana: do you use uEnv.txt? Feb 08 13:53:12 aholler_: yes Feb 08 13:53:35 i tried "noautogroup" "noautogroup=1" "noautogroup=true" Feb 08 13:53:37 so just put it at the end of one of the stuff you already have there Feb 08 13:55:03 aholler: which one? "noautogroup" "noautogroup=1" "noautogroup=true" Feb 08 13:55:51 whatever you wish, I would use just noautogroup Feb 08 13:56:13 and make sure it ends up in /proc/cmdline Feb 08 13:56:38 for that test, you can also put "paula_bean_is_brillant" Feb 08 13:57:19 verify it with sysctl kernel.sched_autogroup_enabled Feb 08 13:57:52 man sysctl. would show another way about how to disable it Feb 08 13:57:56 aholler: it says 1 Feb 08 13:58:07 what does /proc/cmdline say? Feb 08 13:58:41 aholler: i also wrote "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled" Feb 08 13:58:48 it turns to 0 Feb 08 13:59:01 but after restart it was again 1 Feb 08 13:59:08 what does /proc/cmdline say? Feb 08 13:59:28 pastebin your uEnv.txt Feb 08 13:59:41 av500: console=ttyS2,115200n8 mpurate=auto buddy=unknown camera=none vram=12M omapfb.mode=dvi:1024x768-16@60 omapdss.def_disp=dvi root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait Feb 08 14:00:00 so, you did *not* change your command line Feb 08 14:00:28 av500: i changed only uEnv.txt Feb 08 14:00:55 http://pastebin.com/cy7DCC79 Feb 08 14:01:06 that wont work Feb 08 14:01:26 put noautogroup after rootwait Feb 08 14:01:55 aholler: yes, but still uenv.txt is very misleading to a newcomer Feb 08 14:02:13 because one has to know that the cmdline is assembled from only a few select vers Feb 08 14:02:17 koen: ^^^ Feb 08 14:02:20 vars Feb 08 14:02:21 not my problem if they can't read the documentation for u-boot Feb 08 14:02:36 or what I've written in the commit msg Feb 08 14:02:40 aholler i cant add smt. to /proc/cmdline Feb 08 14:02:51 what have you written? Feb 08 14:02:54 aholler: ^^ Feb 08 14:03:25 parana: as I said, put it after rootwait sot that the line reads rootfstype=ext3 rootwait noautogroup Feb 08 14:03:25 parana: you CANNOT edit /proc/cmdline Feb 08 14:04:03 av500: as i said. I cannot edit /proc/cmdline Feb 08 14:04:12 maybe someone could add additional_cmds to the vars the u-boot-init-script adds to the cmdline Feb 08 14:04:19 it's a 5min job Feb 08 14:06:51 aholler: can I put a full cmdline into uEnv.txt? Feb 08 14:07:14 sorry for not beeing prepared for the new target group of beagle* Feb 08 14:07:17 aholler: but adding a put_addiotional_stuff_here= line would be nice in uenv Feb 08 14:08:09 ahaa... so i can write cmdline = {oldone} + noautogroup ? Feb 08 14:08:25 in uEnv.txt Feb 08 14:08:35 parana: just add noautogroup to any of the options there Feb 08 14:08:40 as already suggested Feb 08 14:08:52 [15:01:26] put noautogroup after rootwait Feb 08 14:08:54 av500: some could also add something like full_cmdline, the u-boot-init could test if that isn't empty and afterwards just use that instead of constructing a cmdline Feb 08 14:09:16 av500: http://pastebin.com/nsB36Xg1 Feb 08 14:09:21 aholler: wouldnt "cmdline" overwrite uboot default alreadyß Feb 08 14:09:23 ? Feb 08 14:09:26 i have allready added but not worked Feb 08 14:09:33 no Feb 08 14:09:42 [15:08:51] [15:01:26] put noautogroup after rootwait Feb 08 14:09:57 av500: don't know, would have to look at u-boot ;) Feb 08 14:10:00 ok Feb 08 14:10:57 aholler: I can understand that you are reluctant to do that :) Feb 08 14:11:09 av500: not worked again Feb 08 14:11:39 http://pastebin.com/3jw7tMUB Feb 08 14:12:15 I've already got famous for exchanging a O with an 0 without doing that ;) Feb 08 14:12:41 parana: what does /proc/cmdline say? Feb 08 14:13:14 same as the old one Feb 08 14:14:35 what editor you are using to change uEnv.txt? Feb 08 14:14:51 gedit Feb 08 14:15:13 at least a linux one ;) Feb 08 14:15:21 parana: interrupt uboot and do a printevn before you boot Feb 08 14:15:21 :) Feb 08 14:15:24 printenv Feb 08 14:15:30 av500: ok Feb 08 14:16:43 av500: http://pastebin.com/qPb1RNTx But i added that noautogroup=1 line manually and noautogroup to bootargs Feb 08 14:17:30 that doesn't work Feb 08 14:17:58 use mmcrootfstype=ext3 rootwait noautogroup Feb 08 14:18:10 instead of rootfstype=ext3 rootwait Feb 08 14:18:55 * av500 now wonders what exactly uenv.txt did improve.... Feb 08 14:19:21 * av500 also wonders if uboot is Turing complete, then we dont need to boot linux at all.... Feb 08 14:19:53 http://pastebin.com/Wc538SUT Feb 08 14:20:00 aholler: ^ ok? Feb 08 14:20:09 no Feb 08 14:20:14 parana: can you read? Feb 08 14:20:18 no newline after rootwait Feb 08 14:20:27 just a space Feb 08 14:20:39 aholler: i also tried that but ok i will change Feb 08 14:21:50 av500: with uEnv.txt i set adresses for usb otg port and i solved lcd flickering problem Feb 08 14:22:29 av500: aholler: ok it worked :) Feb 08 14:22:55 adding this line "mmcrootfstype=ext3 rootwait noautogroup" Feb 08 14:23:07 anyway, reading that printenv [mmc]rootfstype isn't used anywhere, so someone changed the init Feb 08 14:23:30 it would not be rootfstype -> it would be mmcrootfstype Feb 08 14:23:43 thx aholler and av500 Feb 08 14:23:43 aholler: yes, relying on 2 files to keep in sync is always asking for fail :) Feb 08 14:23:47 but console is still used, so add noautogroup to the end of console Feb 08 14:25:04 I patched my kernel with this http://pastebin.ca/2097986, I rebuilt it, the print shows up in dmesg but no spidev device in /dev, any idea what could be missing? Feb 08 14:25:09 optargs=noautogroup could work too Feb 08 14:25:46 aholler: but my executable not works faster Feb 08 14:26:04 why should it? Feb 08 14:26:20 aholler: so an empty optargs line there would be a nice placeholder, no? Feb 08 14:26:20 he does trial and error ;) Feb 08 14:26:26 aholler: yesterday you said check things like CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP Feb 08 14:26:36 av500: it looks like it is already Feb 08 14:27:07 so an empty optargs (optargs=) in uEnv.txt could help some people Feb 08 14:27:08 and today i read about it , and they generally said after disabling autogroup their system/program works faster Feb 08 14:27:45 parana: I just said that might be one of the reasons. Feb 08 14:28:00 but that depends on what happens on your beagle, which I don't know Feb 08 14:28:32 av500: it should be, because when i had 2.6.36 kernel my program worked in 30fps and now with 3.0.14+ kernel it works in 5-6fps Feb 08 14:29:02 parana: you are only guessing around Feb 08 14:29:16 instead of sitting down and finding out what has changed and why it is slower Feb 08 14:29:23 and wasting peoples time Feb 08 14:29:27 including yours Feb 08 14:30:19 av500: how can i look what is changed? Feb 08 14:30:47 parana: this SW, you have the source code? Feb 08 14:31:34 source code of angstrom? Feb 08 14:31:55 parana: "my program" Feb 08 14:32:05 aah yes of course, i wrote it Feb 08 14:32:13 very good Feb 08 14:32:25 so use your SW and printf() to find out what is slower Feb 08 14:33:53 ok.. i will. Feb 08 14:33:57 thx Feb 08 14:34:08 a pleasure Feb 08 14:39:35 * aholler waits until watterott has polymorph before ordering new toys ;) Feb 08 14:40:31 a xenomorph would be more interesting Feb 08 14:40:43 aholler: howdy.... Feb 08 14:40:48 I missed what went on.... Feb 08 14:40:55 newb frustrations? Feb 08 14:41:08 uenv frustration Feb 08 14:41:12 koen: xenomorph? Feb 08 14:43:58 aholler: the h.r. giger aliens Feb 08 14:45:41 ah, didn't know they are called xenomorph ;) Feb 08 15:07:52 but building a xenomorph using polymorph looks doable ;) Feb 08 15:15:59 jkridner: got email, registration sent. thanks ;) Feb 08 15:19:51 sure. if you know of other cape developers, please encourage them to get on the spreadsheet and contact CircuitCo as well. Feb 08 15:21:38 will do. Feb 08 15:22:28 I don't think there are other apes in production yet Feb 08 15:23:13 * av500 has seen many apes Feb 08 15:23:52 XD Feb 08 15:24:16 maybe they are all pre-production models? Feb 08 15:24:22 but they did re-production Feb 08 15:34:06 dwery: it looks like https://gitorious.org/linux-can/can-utils/commits/master is the place to be Feb 08 15:39:35 anyone know if the meta-texasinstrument layer is usable with Poky 6.0 "included" in yocto? Feb 08 15:40:32 koen: but there's one year gap between commits in 2011 and 2012... Feb 08 15:46:35 socketcan is hosted at berlios: http://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=6475 Feb 08 15:47:07 hurry up, berlios will close :( Feb 08 15:47:38 * dwery would love if everyone moves to github... Feb 08 15:48:13 you like single point of failures? Feb 08 15:48:54 FBI will shut down github and steal the servers Feb 08 15:49:13 hollywood will help them ;) Feb 08 15:49:17 I wonder why nobody started base64 encoding movies and hosting them on github... Feb 08 15:49:53 too much work? :) Feb 08 15:50:59 why base64? just put the blobs into the repo Feb 08 15:54:42 and use a commit which replaces the stuff for hiding it from the noobs Feb 08 15:55:51 aholler: a lot :D Feb 08 16:09:02 Are pull-ups required on the SPI pins? (similar to what is required on I2C pins) Feb 08 16:11:10 I see no mention of SPI peripherals in the checklist http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_Schematic_Checklist Feb 08 16:11:12 jsabeaudry: usually not, but check the device you're trying to communicate to Feb 08 16:11:34 there's also some spidev documentation in the Documentation folder fo the linux kernel (and a test program) Feb 08 16:11:49 dwery, The device is a scope for now :) Feb 08 16:12:18 jsabeaudry: use the test program and bridge MISO and MOSI Feb 08 16:12:29 that should give you some echo Feb 08 16:12:46 dwery, Alright I'll see if the test program can make the pins wiggle more than just writing to /dev/spidev1.0 Feb 08 16:14:13 uhm.. it should be spidev2.x, IIRC Feb 08 16:14:45 hello all, does anybody know a nice tool to load x-load.bin file to beagleboard using serial? Feb 08 16:14:59 bbl Feb 08 16:15:11 I'm trying to use pserial, but it's not working Feb 08 16:15:16 dwery, Oh so SPI1 is bound to spidev2.0? Feb 08 16:16:00 jsabeaudry: iirc, yes Feb 08 16:16:06 can't check right now Feb 08 16:16:12 dwery, Indeed it is! My scope is happy now SWEET! Feb 08 16:16:17 great Feb 08 16:16:48 fraviofii: use pserial Feb 08 16:17:01 the test program has an option for device and speed, nice to have with a slow scope like mine :D Feb 08 16:17:15 bbl Feb 08 16:17:24 av500: it is not working Feb 08 16:18:10 av500: I looked at the source code. It waits for an 0x04 byte, but it receives 0xe6 from the serial port Feb 08 16:19:33 av500: additional information, I'm using beagleboard rev C, not beagleboard-xm Feb 08 16:23:18 on trying to remove pl2303 i get : rmmod pl2303 ERROR: Module usbserial is in use by pl2303 Feb 08 16:23:30 how to get rid of this ... ? Feb 08 16:23:42 rmmod usbserial Feb 08 16:23:49 ah no Feb 08 16:24:18 pl2303 is using usbserial Feb 08 16:24:21 wont let me remove that either Feb 08 16:25:21 fraviofii: i wasn't able to make pserial work either… my board is OMAP3503 ES 3.1 for what it's worth Feb 08 16:25:25 ok got it ... my serial terminal was holding it Feb 08 16:28:11 jay6981: Do you watch the data that comes from the processor? Feb 08 16:28:29 yeah Feb 08 16:28:58 jay6981: and what do you get? Feb 08 16:29:28 everything works except the part where it jumps to executes my code :) Feb 08 16:29:58 jay6981: humm Feb 08 16:30:16 jay6981: in my case, I can't receive the 0x04 byte Feb 08 16:30:38 do you get the asic id? Feb 08 16:30:43 nops Feb 08 16:30:56 so you never see anything on serial? Feb 08 16:30:58 I receive something Feb 08 16:31:21 yes ... I receive some data, but I cannot identify what it is Feb 08 16:31:25 fraviofii: have you reviewed OMAP35x TRM section 25? Feb 08 16:31:47 jay6981: yes Feb 08 16:32:27 can it be a problem with usb-serial converter? Feb 08 16:32:41 or a problem with xon-off Feb 08 16:32:45 xon-xoff Feb 08 16:32:47 ? Feb 08 16:32:49 both could be an issue i think Feb 08 16:33:26 i'll try in a pc ... i'll be right back Feb 08 16:41:38 aholler: I distrust pretty much every project using svn Feb 08 16:42:05 and cvs? Feb 08 16:42:20 even worse Feb 08 16:42:20 i'm back ... same thing Feb 08 16:42:34 everyone knows you can only trust .zip files on anonftp Feb 08 16:51:43 jay6891: for omap3503, I saw an utility called DownloadUtil Feb 08 16:51:52 jay6891: but I haven't tested Feb 08 16:53:06 jay6891: in my case, every time I turn on the board, I have a different message sent to the serial Feb 08 16:53:14 fraviofii: i ended up writing my own serial loader Feb 08 16:53:33 i spent about 2 weeks trying to get the board to boot from usb or serial Feb 08 16:53:44 i can imagine Feb 08 16:53:53
