**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 12 02:59:56 2012 Feb 12 04:17:00 koen, ping Feb 12 04:17:03 jkridner, ping Feb 12 04:27:30 hello, we are trying to install ubuntu on beagleboard xm, but there is no mouse/keyboard Feb 12 04:27:50 I am using the image straight from canonical Feb 12 04:28:04 ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-desktop-armel+omap.img Feb 12 04:28:46 is there some other image that will work better? Feb 12 04:29:00 Angstrom demo image has no problems with mouse and keyboard Feb 12 04:29:25 also tried 11.04 with the same result Feb 12 07:47:46 Can someone point me in the right direction to getting the demo image (found here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/ ) running in qemu? Feb 12 10:53:10 morning folks Feb 12 11:04:43 when my beagle xm board only prints out 60 on serial, I take that means something's wrong with my MLO file on the first partition? Feb 12 11:11:01 yes Feb 12 11:16:22 ok, let's try the MLO from the xmtest sd card Feb 12 11:17:26 ok, no difference there Feb 12 11:18:29 it doesn't like the card, try too reformat it or such Feb 12 11:18:58 that's what I did Feb 12 11:20:45 how? I assume the same way as before Feb 12 11:21:42 aholler: nope, I've increased the first partition size from 70 megs to 150 Feb 12 11:22:20 and then I did a mkfs.vfat -F 16 Feb 12 11:22:24 which might end in the same wrong number of sectors Feb 12 11:22:47 the rom of omap has a stupid bug, ti seems to be unable to fix Feb 12 11:23:25 oh, ok Feb 12 11:23:35 so I need a fixed number of sectors? Feb 12 11:24:03 no, it doesn't have to be even or odd or something similiar. have forgotten it ;) Feb 12 11:26:42 or try -F 32 or whatever Feb 12 11:26:56 yeah, I'm currently trying -F 32 Feb 12 11:27:40 and if that didn't work, I'll count sectors and play with the partition sizes until they're even or odd, or whatever it is that they currently aren't Feb 12 11:28:50 somewhere there is a test script. you might search the ml for an explanation Feb 12 11:37:47 ok, using the mkcard.sh script did the trick Feb 12 11:38:18 it didn't look particularly clever, so I didn't use it before. but apparently in the partitioning logic, there's some hidden magic Feb 12 11:40:39 thanks for the pointer Feb 12 12:06:21 ok, getting a bit further now Feb 12 12:07:00 still not booting my system, but it's loading the kernel and then dying. way better than not even loading the xloader :) Feb 12 12:07:19 dying means? Feb 12 12:09:18 mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card Feb 12 12:18:42 <_av500_> kblin: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.beagleboard.user/15307 Feb 12 12:21:10 I don't get access (valid FILE) to the sys fs. Feb 12 12:21:18 fd[0] = fopen("/sys/class/gpio/export", "ab"); Feb 12 12:21:24 Any hint ?? Feb 12 12:22:15 ls -l /sys/class/gpio/export Feb 12 12:24:16 --w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:00 /sys/class/gpio/export Feb 12 12:24:57 hmmm . i will try chmod ... Feb 12 12:25:06 <_av500_> what is "ab" for? Feb 12 12:25:26 no, think about what "ab" means Feb 12 12:25:37 append binary tried also rb, wb, rb+ wb+ .... Feb 12 12:26:01 as root? Feb 12 12:26:40 no ... normal user ... Feb 12 12:27:45 echo etc is ok, but fron C no luck :) Feb 12 12:28:06 echo as normal user? Feb 12 12:28:06 shell echo > 34 etc Feb 12 12:28:43 you might need to read a bash manual Feb 12 12:28:51 or tutorial Feb 12 12:30:12 hihi chmod 222 /sys... now got a result .... Feb 12 12:30:27 ab and wb Feb 12 12:54:41 Crofton: pong. I get in tonight. Feb 12 13:33:15 'morning. Feb 12 14:20:16 hi Feb 12 14:20:46 how can I change the beagleboards splash screen? (hopefully without compiling a new kernel and loosing all drivers) Feb 12 14:32:41 hm, sticker? Feb 12 14:51:30 carli2: you need to recompile psplash with your image Feb 12 14:51:58 and does this hide the text from the boot sequence, too? Feb 12 14:53:13 um, which splash are you refering to the angstrom one, or the beagle? Feb 12 14:53:33 if you see text chances are you're not talking psplash Feb 12 14:53:48 when I start the beagleboard, there should be either black screen or my splash image or the first program I started Feb 12 14:54:08 but no text and no beagle logo and such Feb 12 14:54:23 if it's the orange picture with the beagle that's a kernel rebuild Feb 12 14:54:46 the orange picture is showed too short, it can stay Feb 12 14:54:53 install psplash and see if the beagle logo is there toolong to be acceptable Feb 12 14:56:32 I don't find the correct repository for psplash Feb 12 14:56:39 there are some 404 ones Feb 12 14:56:57 and I assume psplash needs to be compiled for ARM, so I need to cross compile Feb 12 15:08:48 looks like intel bought the company that developed psplash :/ Feb 12 15:13:11 I may have a copy of the source tar.gz at work Feb 12 15:20:43 here's instructions if you can use the angstrom setup scripts to get a copy https://support.bluetechnix.at/wiki/Changing_the_splash_screen_picture Feb 12 15:22:52 with some toolchains I don't have. Feb 12 16:03:51 Can someone point me in the right direction to getting the demo image (found here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/ ) running in qemu? Feb 12 16:05:31 google.com?q=qemu ? Feb 12 16:06:33 is there even a qemu version that supports that processor? Feb 12 16:08:18 koen: No luck (I've been trying). thurbad Yes, the processor is an cortex-a8 which qemu is supposed to support. Feb 12 16:37:38 hi Feb 12 17:07:53 hi Feb 12 17:10:00 running debian squeeze on the beagle board...net install took 24 hrs Feb 12 18:12:06 you can run it on qemu emulating beagleboard… not sure about bone Feb 12 18:12:15 try qemu-linaro Feb 12 18:48:53 If I started going on here about an sdio level translator, tsx0108, would anybody know what i'm talking about Feb 12 20:06:15 Hello everyone! Feb 12 20:11:20 Anyone available to help me properly put the newest angstrom image for BeagleBone onto my SD card?
