Feb 19 03:26:05 <OrlandoT> I do not yet have my beaglebone. Does anybody know if it comes with a driver for the processor's McASP module?
Feb 19 07:50:26 <_av500_> time for McCSP
Feb 19 09:55:17 <Jayneil> hi , I am having some problem. My beagleboard xm rev c won't boot up only. There is not output on minicom also..I followed the instructions from here: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Feb 19 09:56:18 <Jayneil> the led beside sd card doesn't turn on..
Feb 19 09:56:32 <Jayneil> nor does the one beside 5v input..
Feb 19 09:56:56 <Jayneil> only d5 led turns on..
Feb 19 10:01:08 <Jayneil> any solutions..?
Feb 19 10:05:40 <aholler_> do you see a 60 on the serial?
Feb 19 10:13:06 <Jayneil> no
Feb 19 10:13:23 <Jayneil> its all junk..the minicom says that i am offline..
Feb 19 10:14:13 <Jayneil> previously i was able to boot up demo images but my mouse was not working..so now i tried to redo the entire process..and now nothing is working..
Feb 19 10:15:08 <aholler_> use "screen /dev/ttyUSB<tab> 115200" instead of minicom, ctrl-a shift-k to quit
Feb 19 10:16:33 <Jayneil> I got the following message now:
Feb 19 10:16:34 <Jayneil> reading u-boot.img spl: error reading image u-boot.img, err - -1 ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
Feb 19 10:17:11 <Jayneil> I downloaded the correct image only..
Feb 19 10:30:05 <thweber> jayneil: do you copied u-boot.img or u-boot.bin?
Feb 19 10:31:03 <Jayneil> I copied u-boot-beagleboard-2011.12-r4.img
Feb 19 10:31:30 <aholler> and what says the above error?
Feb 19 10:31:41 <Jayneil> even tried renaming the extension of .img to .bin..but even that did not work..
Feb 19 10:31:55 <thweber> can you rename it to u-boot.img
Feb 19 10:32:40 <Jayneil> ok..2 min..will try it
Feb 19 10:35:31 <Jayneil> ok..that worked..thanks a lot..but now it is stuck at uncompressing the kernel...................
Feb 19 10:35:51 <Jayneil> does it take a lot of time the first time..?
Feb 19 10:36:11 <Jayneil> i even see an angstrom image with a compass on my lcd..
Feb 19 10:36:40 <aholler> angstrom needs some time when first started
Feb 19 10:37:11 <Jayneil> ok..i see..will give it 5-10 min then..
Feb 19 10:37:30 <aholler> I've heard of times up to 1h
Feb 19 10:37:35 <Jayneil> omg!!!
Feb 19 10:39:44 <Jayneil> i had one more question..on the angstrom demo page, there are diff. kernel images..so can i have a combination of rootfs of 2011 and kernel 3.0 ?
Feb 19 11:39:56 <Jayneil> its been more than an hour and my the beagleboard is still stuck at uncompressing linux..........
Feb 19 11:40:13 <Jayneil> so should i assume now that the system has hanged up..?
Feb 19 11:59:43 <thweber> jayneil: the uncompressing is around 1 or 2 seconds
Feb 19 12:01:18 <thweber> Jayneil: enable earlyprintk
Feb 19 12:02:45 <Jayneil> i see...how do I enable that..?
Feb 19 12:04:14 <thweber> in u-boot append earlyprintk to the bootargs
Feb 19 12:04:35 <thweber> what kernel do you try to boot?
Feb 19 12:05:11 <Jayneil> 2.6.32
Feb 19 12:05:46 <thweber> and your u-boot is 2011.xx?
Feb 19 12:06:13 <thweber> is your console ttyO or ttyS ?
Feb 19 12:06:51 <Jayneil> it is this one: u-boot-beagleboard.img       29-Jan-2012 14:54  321K
Feb 19 12:07:02 <Jayneil> console is ttyUSB0
Feb 19 12:08:23 <thweber> the console on your computer is ttyUSB0, the console output of your beagleboard is ttySx
Feb 19 12:09:14 <thweber> can you press the space bar, when in u-boot?
Feb 19 12:09:26 <thweber> there should be a countdown
Feb 19 12:10:49 <Jayneil> yea there is a countdown which asks me to press any key to prevent autoboot
Feb 19 12:11:13 <Jayneil> and if i do so, i get the omap 3 console..
Feb 19 12:11:19 <thweber> then type: printenv
Feb 19 12:11:29 <thweber> look for console= ...
Feb 19 12:14:13 <Jayneil> its all jumbled up..cause i am using usb to serial convertor ..i get : console=tt~Jb������r�5
Feb 19 12:15:35 <Jayneil> how do i  append earlyprintk to the bootargs in u-boot? can u please give the command i have to write in the omap3 console..?
Feb 19 12:17:23 <thweber> setenv console=ttyS2,115200n8
Feb 19 12:18:08 <thweber> changes the output from ttyO2 to ttyS2, the omap uart name was changed later from ttyS to ttyO
Feb 19 12:18:59 <Jayneil> ok..trying it right now..
Feb 19 12:21:27 <Jayneil> changed the console and baud rate..will try to boot again..
Feb 19 12:22:22 <thweber> you must save the environment after changing with saveenv
Feb 19 12:23:25 <Jayneil> ok..
Feb 19 12:36:52 <Jayneil> saved the env. but still stuck at uncompressing linux.....................
Feb 19 12:37:33 <Jayneil> one more question..do i have to buy the usb to serial convertor from only special computing or any local vendor will do..?
Feb 19 12:39:08 <kblin> any vendor should be fine
Feb 19 12:41:25 <thweber> jayneil: your computer has no serial port?
Feb 19 12:42:52 <Jayneil> ok..i see..i have a laptop..so no serial port..
Feb 19 12:44:49 <thweber> jayneil: can you pastebin your printenv output please
Feb 19 12:45:01 <Jayneil> ok..wait..
Feb 19 12:49:52 <Jayneil> http://pastebin.com/ksygWdNX
Feb 19 13:00:50 <thweber> what is your terminal program?
Feb 19 13:03:48 <Jayneil> i am using the gnome terminal..
Feb 19 13:09:30 <thweber> hardware control is off? 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
Feb 19 13:11:11 <Jayneil> i read somewhere that i am supposed to do it like that ..sorry..please give me the correct settings..i will do the necessary changes..
Feb 19 13:15:42 <thweber> i use: picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
Feb 19 13:21:09 <Jayneil> i see...do u enable both software and hardware control or not..?
Feb 19 13:22:55 <etheretic1> Jayneil: u are aware of http://www.usbgear.com/USB-Serial.html i guess?
Feb 19 13:31:27 <thweber> no flow control is the default
Feb 19 13:35:45 <Jayneil> i see..
Feb 19 14:42:20 <Xenland> what file path should i use to read from uart1_rxd?
Feb 19 14:44:31 <Xenland> i thought it was /dev/ttO1 but all i get is blank output with pyserial
Feb 19 14:45:13 <Xenland>  /dev/ttyO1*
Feb 19 18:13:11 <kguilbert> ahoy.
Feb 19 18:15:26 <kguilbert> what're the pros and cons of using debian squeeze versus angstrom on the 'bone?
Feb 19 18:17:11 <koen> one works well, the other is debian
Feb 19 18:18:31 <kguilbert> thanks for that unbiased synopsis
Feb 19 18:20:56 <kguilbert> is there a concept of 'releases' under angstrom? I see 'angstrom-2010.x' in the sources, and then there are recent demo images.
Feb 19 18:22:47 <koen> there is, but only one supports beaglebone
Feb 19 18:24:15 <kguilbert> which one?
Feb 19 18:24:40 <koen> v2012.x
Feb 19 18:34:09 <kguilbert> is there a tractable way to re-create that image from sources?
Feb 19 18:36:42 <rjgarney> I've just built an image cloud9-image 3.2. angstrom for my Beaglebone and everything seems to work fine except I cannot connect through SSH. It appears dropbear service is not running. Any ideas?
Feb 19 18:41:02 <koen> kguilbert: go to the angstrom website, click developers
Feb 19 18:41:10 <koen> kguilbert: or just read the docs that come with the bone
Feb 19 18:42:25 <thweber> koen: is beaglebone already in linux mainline?
Feb 19 18:44:03 <rjgarney> @novogrammer Exactly. [Server unexpectedly closed network connection]
Feb 19 18:53:09 <kguilbert> koen: i've built an image, and it does say 2012.01 in the name, but i'm just not sure whether it's used all the same source versions as the one in the canonical 2012.01 demo image.
Feb 19 19:02:15 <woglinde> canonical used angstroem?
Feb 19 19:02:21 <woglinde> I would be suprised
Feb 19 19:02:23 <kguilbert> heh
Feb 19 19:02:30 <kguilbert> canonical as in "official", not the company
Feb 19 19:02:47 <woglinde> hehe
Feb 19 19:02:48 <woglinde> okay
Feb 19 19:02:56 <kguilbert> i meant the images posted to the angstrom site
Feb 19 19:36:05 <saftsack> hey, where to find beaglebones "main" kernel developement tree?
Feb 19 19:41:47 <kguilbert> i'm kind of a noob, but i think it's under the meta-ti repo
Feb 19 19:50:39 <woglinde> kguilbert right in meta-ti repo its persistent where it is
Feb 19 19:50:49 <woglinde> and of course downloaded
Feb 19 20:32:17 <Maxz> when a sdk for PRU in beaglebone will be released?
Feb 19 20:33:26 <woglinde> maybee never
Feb 19 20:33:52 <Maxz> :O!
Feb 19 20:33:57 <Maxz> my god
Feb 19 20:34:46 <Maxz> seriously, TI has no plans?
Feb 19 20:40:21 <Maxz> http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/PRU_Assembly_Instructions
Feb 19 20:40:46 <Maxz> I wonder if the instruction set for OMAP-L1x8/C674m/AM18xx devices is the same for AM335x (beaglebone)
Feb 19 20:42:02 <Maxz> if it is same ISA, we can write a assembler based on that reference
Feb 19 20:42:22 <woglinde> silicagel is playing around with it
Feb 19 20:42:30 <woglinde> but he is not from ti
Feb 19 20:47:51 <Maxz> mm, i hope see him around here and ask about
Feb 19 20:48:29 <woglinde> tomorrow he will be here again I think
Feb 19 22:29:56 <ATP> hello everyone, I just bought a touchscreen (LVDS from chalk-elek) any idea why it is not working? Do I need to install drivers or something??
Feb 19 22:30:19 <ATP> I have tried to cat every single input device with no result
Feb 19 22:31:00 <ATP> i tried sudo cat /dev/input/event0 | hexdump but nothing happens when I touch my screen
Feb 19 22:39:03 <Maxz> what interface it uses?
Feb 19 22:43:13 <ATP> usb interface
Feb 19 22:43:49 <ATP> i cannot find anything showing in the /dev/input directory
Feb 19 22:44:20 <ATP> maybe its the /dev/usb/hiddev0 ?
Feb 19 22:44:28 <Maxz> you can use "dmesg" for see what device driver has created
Feb 19 22:44:49 <ATP> i used dmesg how do I find the driver?
Feb 19 22:45:17 <Maxz> disconnect and connect it again
Feb 19 22:45:28 <Maxz> later, run dmesg
Feb 19 22:45:37 <Maxz> the last log is your device
Feb 19 22:45:56 <Maxz> lastest*
Feb 19 22:46:56 <ATP> sec
Feb 19 22:50:22 <ATP> nothing happens
Feb 19 22:50:39 <ATP> my other usb show up fine when i disconnect/connect
Feb 19 22:50:48 <ATP> but the touchscreen does nothing
Feb 19 22:51:37 <Maxz> touchscreen is in "lsusb" output?
Feb 19 22:53:34 <Maxz> are you power the beagle with 5V adapter? right?
Feb 19 22:53:42 <Maxz> are you powering the beagle with 5V adapter? right?
Feb 19 22:54:53 <ATP> yes
Feb 19 22:54:57 <ATP> 5V , 2.5A
Feb 19 22:55:55 <ATP> i did lsusb but i dont know the brand , i only know it's lvds
Feb 19 22:56:57 <ATP> i have ASIX electronics and NEC corp and Elan microelectronics
Feb 19 22:57:29 <Maxz> the USB device should annunce his product id and vendor id at least
Feb 19 22:57:50 <Maxz> announce*
Feb 19 23:00:05 <Maxz> did it announce that stuff in dmesg?
Feb 19 23:00:41 <ATP> well if i disc it put it back
Feb 19 23:00:51 <ATP> it won't show any difference
Feb 19 23:01:07 <ATP> so I can assume it's maybe hardware issue?
Feb 19 23:01:11 <Maxz> yeah
Feb 19 23:01:52 <ATP> to be honest i haven't put the jumpers on for J4 and J5
Feb 19 23:02:08 <ATP> i just plugged the board there
Feb 19 23:02:31 <ATP> but technically it shouldnt make any difference, I mean the LCD backlights seems to power up
Feb 19 23:06:26 <Maxz> connect it to your PC
Feb 19 23:06:47 <ATP> but it powers from the beagleboard
Feb 19 23:07:01 <Maxz> mmm
Feb 19 23:07:13 <ATP> actually i have something new
Feb 19 23:07:14 <Maxz> it uses additional power lines?
Feb 19 23:07:21 <ATP> i just powered up my hub
Feb 19 23:07:29 <ATP> and now i have errors
Feb 19 23:08:09 <Maxz> !
Feb 19 23:08:11 <ATP> new low speed USB device using ehci-omap and address 9
Feb 19 23:08:33 <ATP> unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
Feb 19 23:09:09 <Maxz> :(
Feb 19 23:09:20 <ATP> drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: cant reset device , ehci-omap-0.2.2/input0. status -71
Feb 19 23:09:27 <ATP> what does that mean?
Feb 19 23:09:45 <ATP> should i try reset the beagle?
Feb 19 23:10:42 <Maxz> I had a similar problem with a USB camera (PS3 Eye)
Feb 19 23:11:09 <ATP> yeah now my usb devices freeze up and start again (thats why i didnt put power to the hub before)
Feb 19 23:11:22 <ATP> i hate usb :<
Feb 19 23:11:27 <Maxz> haha
Feb 19 23:12:05 <Maxz> !!!
Feb 19 23:12:30 <Maxz> now I understand
Feb 19 23:12:46 <Maxz> you have a hub with many devices
Feb 19 23:13:08 <Maxz> without external power
Feb 19 23:13:12 <ATP> yes
Feb 19 23:13:20 <ATP> is it bad?
Feb 19 23:13:24 <Maxz> yeah
Feb 19 23:13:30 <Maxz> 1 usb port -> 500 mA
Feb 19 23:13:45 <ATP> oh :/
Feb 19 23:17:21 <Maxz> you must connect external power to usb hub if it has many devices. The sum of devices can exceed 500 mA
Feb 19 23:18:25 <ATP> ok will try
Feb 19 23:18:32 <Maxz> datasheet always says how much power the device consume
Feb 19 23:18:45 <ATP> yeah checking
Feb 19 23:18:52 <Maxz> for example, my PS3 Eye has a peak of 500 mA
Feb 19 23:22:46 <ATP> by the way i have a cable for the small usb
Feb 19 23:23:06 <ATP> could i use that mb?
Feb 19 23:23:27 <ATP> oh nevermind its male , i cant connect male to male
Feb 19 23:29:04 <Maxz> time ago, I have built a beagleboard robot. I needed connect another device (PS3 Eye was connected to Usb host) but i could not use HUB (space issue)
Feb 19 23:29:49 <Maxz> so I used OTG usb device port as host
Feb 19 23:31:18 <Maxz> but current is limited to 100 mA, it works for a keyboard for example
Feb 19 23:32:14 <ATP> ah thats cool
Feb 19 23:32:31 <ATP> by the way i have an error now with touch usb port
Feb 19 23:33:07 <ATP> hub 1-2:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 2 disabled
Feb 19 23:33:41 <ATP> and it gets spammed again and again
Feb 19 23:34:31 <Maxz> :/
Feb 19 23:35:04 <Maxz> now, are you using external port to hub ?
Feb 19 23:35:14 <ATP> yes
Feb 19 23:35:39 <ATP> i cannot connect the touchscreen alone, i will have no keyboard
Feb 19 23:36:13 <Maxz> https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=28421
Feb 19 23:36:15 <Maxz> look
Feb 19 23:37:09 <Maxz> it looks like power problem
Feb 19 23:37:50 <ATP> yes i think its power too
Feb 20 00:09:52 <ATP> Maxz goodnight my friend thanks for help
Feb 20 00:40:25 <Xenland> anyone have a clue why when i use pyserial to read from /dev/ttyO1 aka uart1_rx?
Feb 20 00:40:42 <Xenland> i get nothing?
Feb 20 00:42:41 <Xenland> when i read my gps unit from my computer it works fine
Feb 20 00:42:55 <Xenland> same script too
Feb 20 00:43:30 <Xenland>  (different file paths of course)
