**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 03 02:59:58 2012 Apr 03 03:54:12 why amstrong and not openwrt for beaglebone ? Apr 03 04:01:26 i would think it's because openwrt is very router-specific, especially the configuration system Apr 03 04:01:58 apart from that, they are both pretty similar, right? Apr 03 07:36:27 opkg update, upgrade > Error: cannot register alternative watch to /usr/bin/watch since it is already registered to /bin/watch Apr 03 10:15:42 having problems installing the edimax-7811un wifi usb dongle... have installed all the firmware for the 8192cu which apparently will work for the 7811 from angstroms website Apr 03 10:15:47 but iwconfig still shows nothing Apr 03 10:15:57 when i try to compile the linux driver from the website i get this error Apr 03 10:16:41 make: *** /lib/modules/3.2.5+/build: No such file or directory.

Apr 03 10:32:07 Does the DC power supply for the beagleboard-xm have to be center positive polarity? Apr 03 10:34:35 dm8tbr the dmesg recognises the dongle Apr 03 10:34:40 it gives me all the realtek data Apr 03 10:34:47 shows me that its a wlan dongle Apr 03 10:34:53 but iwconfig just says no interfaces Apr 03 10:35:06 is the driver module being inserted? Apr 03 10:35:23 what would I look for Apr 03 10:35:28 ill post my dmesg for the dongle Apr 03 10:35:56 3074.250354] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using musb-hdrc [ 3074.391589] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 [ 3074.391607] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 3074.391622] usb 1-1: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter [ 3074.391633] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 3074.391642] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 beagle:~# Apr 03 10:36:01 greenlantern: pastebin!

Apr 03 10:42:00 but my name is not obi-wan Apr 03 10:42:50 :D Apr 03 10:43:12 r2d2 was pretty useful too Apr 03 10:44:19 that's only the USB info. it's not loading a kernel module Apr 03 10:44:42 hmm well thats all i have Apr 03 10:45:34 ive tried installing everything i can get my hands on, but i suck at linux im probably not installing it right Apr 03 10:46:04 ive been putting them on floppy disc and throwing them at the beaglebone Apr 03 10:47:01 you have a floppy drive connected to your beaglebone? 3.5" 5.25" or 8"? Apr 03 10:48:00 lol i was joking, ive been using a record turntable Apr 03 10:48:05 y u no using core memories? Apr 03 10:48:26 burned all the drivers to an LP but the bb isnt reading them?! Apr 03 10:48:46 but seriously help!! im only messing and i really need wifi Apr 03 10:50:02 can we have a cape for that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory Apr 03 10:50:12 :D Apr 03 10:50:31 LetoThe2nd: I want a cape _made_ out of _that_ ;) Apr 03 10:50:41 i have one of those in my office Apr 03 10:50:50 work at an electronics school at uni Apr 03 10:51:12 greenlantern: back to the topic. is your kernel compiled with the rtl8192cu driver? Apr 03 10:51:24 okay how would i test that? Apr 03 10:51:25 dm8tbr: though the other way round is probably easier - have the bone + some cape emulate that. Apr 03 10:52:03 i tried installing the thing through opkg and it said it installed it but i dont knw how to test to ake sure it is Apr 03 10:52:50 greenlantern: you also need to make sure you have the firmware installed Apr 03 10:53:23 i did that too i downloaded both the firmware and the kernel-common files off the angstrom package website and then installed em Apr 03 10:55:01 what happens if you 'modprobe rtl8192cu' ? Apr 03 10:55:33 beagle:~# modprobe rtl8192cu FATAL: Module rtl8192cu not found. Apr 03 10:56:01 which package should I install on there http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/ if you put in 8192 theres loads of cu ones Apr 03 10:57:04 is your bone connected to the internet through ethernet? Apr 03 10:57:34 yeah Apr 03 10:58:39 how about 'opkg update' 'opkg install kernel-module-rtl8192cu' ? Apr 03 10:59:21 Package kernel-module-rtl8192cu (3.2-r7c+gitr09e9651bcf2ee8d86685f2a8075bc6557b1d3b91) installed in root is up to date. Apr 03 11:03:20 same thing came up for the firmware Apr 03 11:03:25 Package linux-firmware-rtl8192cu (0.0+git1+d543c1d98fc240267ee59fff93f7a0f36d9e2fc3-r2) installed in root is up to date. Apr 03 11:14:15 Hi Apr 03 11:14:21 obi wan! Apr 03 11:15:45 does anyone know hoe to start GNU screen on boot without 'Must be connected to terminal' error? Apr 03 11:15:58 start it in a terminal Apr 03 11:16:39 i am sorry, i am a linux noob. how would i do that? Apr 03 11:17:16 atm i start it from a script during boot Apr 03 11:18:28 NAP: have you googled the usual suspects? like a) the error message b) "gnu screen" together with the autostart system you finally settled on using? Apr 03 11:18:51 yes. most people with this problem trie to ssh into a computer Apr 03 11:19:43 a lot of people write using screen during boot works without problem. it does not on my beaglebone with angstrom Apr 03 11:20:03 dm8tbr: you started so promisingly but you just dissapeared, I had great hope for our journey on tackling this mountain of a wifiusb dongle problem Apr 03 11:20:32 NAP: excerpt from man screen: Apr 03 11:20:33 -d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but doesn't attach to it. This Apr 03 11:20:36 is useful for system startup scripts. Apr 03 11:20:40 tried that? Apr 03 11:20:57 yes. tried that. did not work. same error Apr 03 11:21:59 is it possible that /dev/pts/0 is not accasible during boot ? i put a sleep 30 in the script bevore calling screen. did not helt eighter Apr 03 11:22:02 NAP: *hint* can you maybe give some more details then, instead of having us pull one after the other out of our crystal balls, respectively your nose? Apr 03 11:22:34 NAP: well, that depends on the point in time the mounts get executed versus the point in time your script gets executed. Apr 03 11:22:55 respectively the dependenciers. Apr 03 11:23:14 ok, wait. i have a script in /etc/init.d which is called from etc/rc2.d Apr 03 11:23:39 greenlantern: this might be due to the fact that I have a job which takes precedence over idle chat on IRC... Apr 03 11:23:55 dm8tbr: nahhh forget your job man! Apr 03 11:24:06 the script contains: Apr 03 11:24:13 ## /usr/bin/screen -d -RR -S "AUTOMAT" -p 0 -q "/bin/touch" "/tmp/x_abc" Apr 03 11:24:19 without ## ;-) Apr 03 11:24:26 dm8tbr: I am at work too, we can do this together... its doo-able..we just have to work as a team and fight down our foes Apr 03 11:24:40 dm8tbr: unless your chicken Apr 03 11:24:51 JFTR: I'm very happy that Tieto gives me the freedom to spend considerable time to good stuff with Linux (like chatting here). Apr 03 11:25:28 it does not write a file /tmp/x_abc when run on boot but does if i manually start it Apr 03 11:25:47 greenlantern: mhm, maybe it's missing an depmod -a ? Apr 03 11:26:07 greenlantern: check if the module file is there at least Apr 03 11:26:09 NAP: the -d -RR looks weird to me, but thats just $.02 ATM Apr 03 11:26:55 i fount that in the screen manual Apr 03 11:27:48 but no matter what parameters i use (i tried nearly everything) it does not start screen but i get the errormessage i wrote above Apr 03 11:28:04 i personally suspect some race your script versus mounting. Apr 03 11:28:41 i read that some people get that error when they ssh into a machine and the machine has no ??terminal?? (whatever) Apr 03 11:31:35 is there a way to make sure the terminal is ready /dev/pts/0 is there before i start screen ? Apr 03 11:31:38 dm8tbr: ive never done this before but lsmod outputs nothing and /proc/modules has nothing in it either.. Apr 03 11:32:02 dm8tbr: were really doing it! *lord of the rings music plays Apr 03 11:32:16 NAP: i think the "-d -RR" is wrong. remove it and replace it only with "-d -m" Apr 03 11:32:49 ok Apr 03 11:32:55 NAP: because -d -RR tries to attach, which obviously must fail in a non-interactive shell. Apr 03 11:34:40 greenlantern: e.g. sthg like 'cd /lib/modules' 'find .|grep rtl8192" Apr 03 11:34:53 yes that's ugly but I never remember the right find pattern parameter... Apr 03 11:35:17 dm8tbr: -iname "*xyz*" Apr 03 11:35:35 *nod* Apr 03 11:39:14 dm8tbr: got it http://pastebin.com/pa4MgeiU Apr 03 11:43:23 dm8tbr: but thats says kernel 3.2.13 and I am running 3.2.5+ i think? is this significant Apr 03 11:45:36 greenlantern: well, yeah :) Apr 03 11:45:57 greenlantern: that means you're missing the right modules for your kernel Apr 03 11:46:45 dm8tbr:well those are all that angstrom provide, do I downgrade the kernel or something? (no idea what to do) Apr 03 11:48:55 greenlantern: ok I have no idea then. I don't have a bone so haven't played with that. maybe someone else or koen himself can comment? Apr 03 11:49:40 LetoThe2nd: i am sure i tried that before and it did not work. BUT it works now. So you are my hero. I pay you a beer if we ever meet ;-) Apr 03 11:49:52 thanks a lot for your help man I have learned a lot about myself and the world in this convo Apr 03 11:49:59 whos koen btw? Apr 03 11:50:16 NAP: send money, beer and hot checks ;) Apr 03 11:50:21 chicks, even. Apr 03 11:50:45 NAP: guessing: is suspect you had -d -RR AND -d -m set, which broke it when you tried. Apr 03 11:51:44 LetoThe2nd: maybo. i dont know. i tried 100 variants ;-) Apr 03 11:52:13 NAP: windows style - try 100 variant first, read manual thoroughly later :P Apr 03 11:52:39 LetoThe2nd: Ne ich las das Teil zeitgleich ;-) Apr 03 11:52:42 *SCNR* Apr 03 11:52:57 anyways, have fun then. Apr 03 11:53:02 thanx Apr 03 12:12:39 NAP: why the "screen" anyway? Apr 03 12:23:24 Does anyone know how to boot into an older kernel? Apr 03 12:23:39 I am running 3.2.5+ and I have 3.2.13 on my system and I want to boot into that Apr 03 12:28:30 you're not making sense Apr 03 12:32:06 mru: was that directed at me? Apr 03 12:33:38 greenlantern: if not, it would be directed at me, so yes, at you Apr 03 12:33:43 greenlantern: you mean kexec it? Don't know how broken kexec may be today Apr 03 12:34:46 i am not sure what i mean, earlier in the convo we deduced that the wireless drivers and firmware for my usb stick are available in the 3.2.13 folder in /lib/modules Apr 03 12:34:58 but not in the 3.2.5+ which is what i am running Apr 03 12:35:11 so i assumed i need to run the older kernel but i am way out of my depth already Apr 03 12:39:21 13 > 5 Apr 03 12:41:36 for some reason i read it as 1.3 Apr 03 12:41:42 3.2.1.3 LAME Apr 03 12:41:52 so how the hell do i find out which kernel i am running? Apr 03 12:42:09 uname -r Apr 03 12:42:26 it says 3.2.5+ Apr 03 12:42:36 then that is the running kernel Apr 03 12:42:39 so i need to upgrade kernel? Apr 03 12:42:43 any ideas on how Apr 03 12:43:02 build it and put the uImage where u-boot can find it Apr 03 12:43:22 sorry but i dont understand any of that:( Apr 03 12:47:02 i feel i am close:) Apr 03 12:47:31 to the edge? Apr 03 12:47:42 of insanity Apr 03 12:47:46 lol yes Apr 03 12:48:26 av500: a gentle push should be all it takes now Apr 03 12:48:31 where would I find the new uImage, when i go to http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beaglebone/ they are all like 2011 uimages Apr 03 12:48:43 sorry jan 2012 Apr 03 12:54:53 you guys turn up so quickly when you want to push me to insanity Apr 03 12:56:04 greenlantern: there is only one uimage there Apr 03 12:56:21 uImage-3.1-r2l+gitr1d84d8853fa30cf3db2571a5aec572accca4e29d-beaglebone-20120127084313.bin Apr 03 12:56:26 whatever that is Apr 03 12:59:19 av500: okay even though that says 3.1 instead of 3.2... I also installed the latest whole image shouldnt that have had the 3.2.13 on it...feb 2012 Apr 03 12:59:25 why /etc/pvr-init.sh is old in angstrom for beagleboard? Apr 03 12:59:43 greenlantern: i haz no idea Apr 03 13:00:09 you suck av500 i hope you dine on shards of glass and pig snouts Apr 03 13:00:12 i spit on you Apr 03 13:01:23 yum, pig snouts Apr 03 13:02:12 lol Apr 03 13:02:37 want some? Apr 03 13:03:34 nah i dont eat Apr 03 13:03:48 right dude.. so ...if i download this uimage file and i put it exactly where? Apr 03 13:04:00 i spent so much time making my bash all colorful and shit i might cry if it dies Apr 03 13:04:49 if you are running the bone from one of the precompiled images, then using that uimage wont help you I guess Apr 03 13:05:27 :( Apr 03 13:05:35 3.2.5 seems like a pretty recent kernel to me Apr 03 13:05:53 but the wifi modules are all 3.2.13:( Apr 03 13:05:54 and I am not sure what you would achieve with a more recent one Apr 03 13:06:32 wait but there might be older wifi modules around... but i am guessing that linux is gonna bitch at me for tryna flash back them Apr 03 13:06:45 i just need to upgrade man.. someone must have the answer Apr 03 13:06:59 im going back to windows 98 if this fails Apr 03 13:07:06 and books!

Apr 03 13:28:47 minimum billable amount 4h Apr 03 13:28:50 <_sundar_> mru, that wont help us all Apr 03 13:28:56 and all they get to eat are pig snouts!

Apr 03 13:31:31 <_sundar_> here is one video tutorial to get your wifi dongle up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Hpuu2vQbM Apr 03 13:31:36 okay cool.. linux is almost impenetrable for a layman Apr 03 13:31:59 greenlantern: FWIW, dm8tbr certainly treid to help you. it didn't work out. too bad. BUT MAN, that is absolutely NO reason to go wild, call as names and whatever just because something does not work for YOU Apr 03 13:32:36 o.O Apr 03 13:32:40 LetoThe2nd: but he is doing a project, a *project*!!! Apr 03 13:32:43 greenlantern: as i said. cool dawn, take a breath, come back later/tomorrow. and stop complaining pointlessly. Apr 03 13:32:58 .... a project ...

Apr 03 13:33:36 i think im getting it, this is a much more relaxed place isnt it Apr 03 13:33:43 the fact it looks like a chatroom was confusing me Apr 03 13:33:59 greenlantern: get out of my email! Apr 03 13:34:05 i have no idea how i would come back tomorrow as the window would be closed Apr 03 13:34:24 NEVER CLOSE THE WINDOW Apr 03 13:34:28 greenlantern: we don't care if its a project, for whatever use or whatever deadline you are up to. it just is NOT OUR PROBLEM! stop complaining. Apr 03 13:34:33 you would destroy this reality Apr 03 13:34:43 we would all vanish back into your imagination Apr 03 13:34:48 send out all teh matrix agent. Apr 03 13:34:53 oh dear, someone let out the trolls Apr 03 13:35:01 i didnt think i was complaining.. you seem to misunderstand me completely Apr 03 13:35:04 trolls, where?

Apr 03 13:38:17 can i ask something oh gods of linux Apr 03 13:38:28 no, Q&Q hour is over Apr 03 13:38:32 is there a much more basic beginners chatroom around where people like me can ask questions like this Apr 03 13:38:50 coz this one seems pretentious to me or maybe I am just doing it wrong Apr 03 13:38:56 #linux Apr 03 13:39:01 <_troll_> you are holding it wrong Apr 03 13:39:22 you are also not listening Apr 03 13:39:30 [15:36:48] greenlantern: but to be slightly ontopic again, as said, wifi is not something that exists only since 3.2.13 Apr 03 13:40:02 _troll_: he's doing it wong! http://k0s.org/comedy/wong.jpg Apr 03 13:40:16 okay i think i know where to go, I am going to uninstall the 3.2.13 drivers and then install earlier ones Apr 03 13:40:43 one question, if i install ones for kernels BEFORE 3.2.5 like 3.1.0 would they work or do I need exact modules for each kernel Apr 03 13:44:27 greenlantern: usually version numbers have to fit exactly. Apr 03 13:55:29 does it ever get spicy in here Apr 03 13:55:40 you all seemed to get all up in arms when i said you suck Apr 03 13:56:43 so what now. you asked one question, and i answered it. what are you complaining about now? Apr 03 13:57:42 nothing at all, im very glad you answered.. you seem to interpret everything as complaining Apr 03 13:57:58 i was asking if its always boring in here this is defintely not a chatroom Apr 03 13:58:00 im out xxxx Apr 03 13:58:13 its an irc channel Apr 03 13:58:25 me sets /dev/null finally. thats it. Apr 03 13:58:31 Hi, I'm trying to set mem boot argument for DSP on BB RevC (bootargs=console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait omapfb.video_mode=1024x768MR-16@60 mem=99M@0x80000000 mem=128M@0x88000000) but when I run loadmodules.sh, it fails and show" Warning! You need to use mem=126M or less on the kernel cmdline" any advice please ? Apr 03 13:58:50 fails how? Apr 03 13:59:31 pastebin the content of loadmodules..sh Apr 03 14:00:39 offtopic question: how should eMMC with the system fs be handled during suspend? it's not recognized during resume. if I let it be removed and turn the regulator off/on it's detected but the still mounted filesystem doesn't like that. Apr 03 14:00:53 development with no other hardware documentation than an hacky kernel sucks Apr 03 14:01:13 the emmc driver should support suspend Apr 03 14:01:15 properly Apr 03 14:01:18 jannau: the UNSAFE_RUSME option is on? Apr 03 14:01:24 RESUME* Apr 03 14:01:41 (it's not unsafe, pierre ossman just didn't understand mmc) Apr 03 14:02:44 koen: no, but it is in the original config Apr 03 14:03:39 http://pastebin.com/207mZ25z Apr 03 14:05:08 pompadur: ignore that warning Apr 03 14:05:16 koen: got a second? Apr 03 14:05:36 yes Apr 03 14:05:47 pompadur: that warning only works for a board with 128MB, not for one with 256MB Apr 03 14:06:00 on a confcall Apr 03 14:06:08 koen: vacation over? Apr 03 14:07:56 yes Apr 03 14:09:09 av500: which emmc driver? do you mean the sdhci driver? Apr 03 14:09:26 jannau: I dont know :) Apr 03 14:09:47 koen: UNSAFE_RESUME doesn't make difference Apr 03 14:10:06 a Apr 03 14:11:26 jannau: in theory its somewhere in the mmc driver to handle the resume Apr 03 14:13:16 jannau: suspend and resume hooks are called? Apr 03 14:13:31 in drivers/mmc/core/core.c Apr 03 14:15:21 finding the suspend/resume code is not the problem, and I'm reasonable certain that it is called Apr 03 14:16:15 at least resume is called since I get this wonderful error "mmc0: error -123 during resume (card was removed?)" Apr 03 14:17:12 ok, so err = host->bus_ops->resume(host); Apr 03 14:17:13 fails Apr 03 14:17:35 so, find out why :) Apr 03 14:18:51 -ENOMEDIUM Apr 03 14:19:30 jannau: is there a git of your kernel? Apr 03 14:20:11 https://github.com/jannau/linux/tree/startablet/android-tegra-nv-3.1_work Apr 03 14:22:41 I'm more wondering how I should handle the eMMC during suspend/resume. I suspect that the hacky kernel leaves it always on Apr 03 14:23:07 iirc there's a non removable flag you can set Apr 03 14:23:15 which should fix the regulators Apr 03 14:23:31 I vaguely remember doing that for sdio wifi on beagle Apr 03 14:23:54 jannau: I dont see where tegra_sdhci_resume() could return -ENOMEDIUM Apr 03 14:24:03 is that even called? Apr 03 14:24:53 koen: there is mmc_data.built_in which is set Apr 03 14:25:18 if it's not set the card is removed and detected on resume Apr 03 14:34:25 jannau: still, follow that ->resume call and see why it says ENOMEDIUM Apr 03 14:39:26 either CONFIG_MMC_PARANOID_SD_INIT or CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_DEFERRED_RESUME or both have fixed it Apr 03 14:39:49 * LetoThe2nd just read that as CONFIG_MMC_PARANOID_SHIT Apr 03 14:39:53 *SCNR* Apr 03 14:41:47 jannau: maybe even either one Apr 03 14:41:58 jannau: looks like a timing issue to me Apr 03 14:42:10 maybe the card is asked too fast after power on Apr 03 14:42:28 paranoid retries and deferred does it later Apr 03 14:43:07 I think it's CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_DEFERRED_RESUME Apr 03 14:49:10 yes, DEFERRED_RESUME alone is enough Apr 03 14:50:52 and the other way round? Apr 03 14:54:09 CONFIG_MMC_PARANOID_SHIT doesn't help Apr 03 14:57:42 in /boot I have 3 uImages, "uImage" "uImage-3.2.11" and "uImage-3.2.12" how do I make uboot see uImage-3.2.12 because if I just rename it to uImage and make uImage to uImageOld... it just still boots uImageOld Apr 03 14:59:04 ubuntu? Apr 03 14:59:42 angstrom Apr 03 15:01:05 and the 3 files are really different? Apr 03 15:02:17 Is it possible to slow down the GPMC_FCLK? or L3S? Apr 03 15:02:29 I wanna run 3.2.12 kernel so I assumed that by making that the uImage that kernel would boot Apr 03 15:02:49 and the 3 files are really different? Apr 03 15:02:56 ls -l will tell you Apr 03 15:03:21 bob__, where is /boot mounted? Apr 03 15:03:37 they all look the same from ls -l Apr 03 15:03:46 so I guess they are the same Apr 03 15:03:56 and moving and renaming them does little Apr 03 15:04:04 erm im not sure.. its just at /boot Apr 03 15:04:24 av500 they are all slightly different sizes Apr 03 15:04:26 mount the boot partition and copy your uImage to it Apr 03 15:05:41 so $ mount /boot and then cp /boot/uImageBlah /boot/uImage? Apr 03 15:05:53 or have i got it totally wrong? Apr 03 15:06:06 bob__: well, then ignore what I said Apr 03 15:06:30 bob__, paste the result of `mount` in pastebin Apr 03 15:07:41 http://pastebin.com/HLuQwJHr Apr 03 15:07:45 thats the ls -l and the mount Apr 03 15:08:21 did i write `mount /boot`? Apr 03 15:09:13 oh sorry one sec Apr 03 15:09:45 http://pastebin.com/eMcXp41A Apr 03 15:10:46 oh is that on beagleboard? Apr 03 15:10:48 my bad Apr 03 15:10:57 i only know beaglebone stuff Apr 03 15:11:02 sorry Apr 03 15:11:16 no its a bone Apr 03 15:11:38 i just renamed the host thing to beagle Apr 03 15:12:31 ok then you need to mount the boot partition Apr 03 15:12:42 seomthing similar to what you said earlier Apr 03 15:13:03 with /dev/mmc....0 somwhere in there Apr 03 15:16:25 bob__: uImageOld -> uImage-3.2.12 Apr 03 15:16:31 what is that? Apr 03 15:16:48 jsabeaudry i am majorly confused Apr 03 15:17:24 av500: what i did was cd to boot and then "mv uImage uImageOld" and then "mv uImage-3.2.12 uImage" Apr 03 15:17:32 ive probably ruined the world Apr 03 15:17:35 no Apr 03 15:17:47 you just stumbled over a symlink Apr 03 15:17:58 it was uImage -> uImage-3.2.12 Apr 03 15:18:35 so, your uImage is in fact uImage-3.2.12 Apr 03 15:18:38 so do this: Apr 03 15:18:44 rm uImageOld Apr 03 15:18:57 mv uImage uImage-3.2.12 Apr 03 15:19:04 ln -s uImage-3.2.12 uImage Apr 03 15:19:07 and pastebin the result Apr 03 15:19:40 jsabeaudry: /boot is the fat partition mounted on /boot Apr 03 15:21:09 oh no... I accidentality typed rm uImage.. instad of uImageOld... is this the end of days for my beaglebone? Apr 03 15:21:33 yes Apr 03 15:21:36 throw it away Apr 03 15:21:41 burn it Apr 03 15:21:51 and spread the ashes all over kansas Apr 03 15:23:01 maybe he can sell it to one of those cash4gold places Apr 03 15:23:36 lol but seriously.. is there anything I can do.. I mean I still have the other uImages but I have deleted uImage.. Apr 03 15:25:21 then you lost uImage-3.2.12 Apr 03 15:25:51 I guess you are running the stock bone SW, so just overwrite a fresh card image Apr 03 15:26:16 CanyonMan: you mean gold4bones Apr 03 15:26:41 okay cool I will be back in a jiffy... can I ask though.. what was the plan.. like what did I do wrong with renaming the uImages.. Apr 03 15:26:53 if I did your ln -s method would it have booted up the new one Apr 03 15:29:28 man ln Apr 03 15:29:40 ln -s just creates a symlink Apr 03 15:29:51 but then, how would that work on a fat partition? Apr 03 15:30:00 or is uboot reading from ext these days? Apr 03 15:30:08 all that newfangled bone stuff Apr 03 15:30:22 and 'em kids messing with it Apr 03 15:30:32 thanks av500 Apr 03 15:30:37 :) Apr 03 15:31:11 av500, from what I remember no, /boot is not mounter on mmcblock0 on angstrom, it is on arch on the other hand Apr 03 15:31:44 ubuntu also mounts the fat into /boot IIRC Apr 03 15:31:46 bob__, you can just use your pc, pluc the mmc in it and put the uImage on the first part Apr 03 15:32:03 or pastebin the output of "mount" Apr 03 15:32:09 as asked Apr 03 15:32:11 av500: There was some rev which had an SD card that had a uImage in the FAT and another one in the EXT, and it booted the one in EXT Apr 03 15:32:23 i did pastebin mount! Apr 03 15:32:48 bob__, `cat /etc/fstab` Apr 03 15:32:49 ah yes Apr 03 15:32:58 how can i boot win7 CE in my beagleboard-mx? Apr 03 15:33:12 Q8GEEK: you ask Microsoft Apr 03 15:33:28 http://pastebin.com/FCjLpGgS Apr 03 15:33:39 no really, its an SD formatting thingy Apr 03 15:33:45 i just rebooted having deleted the uImage and it booted into 3.2.6 again.. Apr 03 15:34:19 I guess you are looking into the wrong place Apr 03 15:34:26 you are looking on /boot on the ext Apr 03 15:34:39 but it boots from the FAT partition Apr 03 15:34:46 and you changed nothing there Apr 03 15:34:54 Q8GEEK: well, then its easy Apr 03 15:35:20 can you help please? Apr 03 15:35:51 i wish i understood.. I am looking in /boot... are there numerous boots? the partition stuff confuses me.. i wanna understand all this but i dont yet Apr 03 15:37:13 I have a colorscheme setup and uImageOld (the original one) is light blue and all the rest are white.. I am guessing that this means uImageOld is different and i need to make the other ones this type to be able to boot Apr 03 15:46:21 Q8GEEK: help doing what? Apr 03 15:46:49 bob__: pop the card into a card reader and check what is on the FAT partition Apr 03 15:47:25 okily dokily Apr 03 15:48:03 also, pastebin a full boot log Apr 03 15:48:13 figuring out how to format that SD card and boot it with windows 7 ce? Apr 03 15:48:32 Q8GEEK: formatting the card works the same way for any OS Apr 03 15:48:40 so follow the linux instructions Apr 03 15:48:52 up to the point where you put the MLO Apr 03 15:49:03 from there on, ask M$ Apr 03 15:49:21 okay so I have my card in the machine... what do you want me to look for? Apr 03 15:49:49 what is on the FAT partition Apr 03 15:50:07 uImage...u-Boot etc Apr 03 15:50:14 its all the beaglebone-getting stated stuff Apr 03 15:50:30 yes, so its that uimage that is used to boot Apr 03 15:50:36 and not the one in /boot Apr 03 15:50:41 right so all that stuff in /boot is what? Apr 03 15:50:46 a decoy? Apr 03 15:50:48 no idea Apr 03 15:50:51 lol Apr 03 15:51:06 okay so if i swap this uImage for a nice shiny new one we should be good to go Apr 03 15:56:52 perserverant you were not... Apr 03 15:57:38 okay now I have a problem... I have no idea where I would get a uImage.img file Apr 03 15:57:47 the one from angstrom is uImage.bin Apr 03 15:57:59 perserverant I am but not very smart Apr 03 15:58:26 I did not mean you Apr 03 15:58:30 the wince guy Apr 03 15:58:33 I know Apr 03 16:07:08 guys i have a little problem, i'm build glib but when i use configure it say i need libtffi Apr 03 16:07:38 so i build libtffi and this ok, but now how can i say to the configure of the glib that the include and lib are in a special path? Apr 03 16:08:05 stuk_gen: run ./configure --help and find the option Apr 03 16:08:19 i try ./configure --libdir=mypath ----includedir=mypathlib but after it says cant find libtffi Apr 03 16:08:20 usually looks something like --with-libtffi= Apr 03 16:08:43 av500: I DID IT!!!!! Apr 03 16:08:50 thanks for your help Apr 03 16:08:52 jay69811: --with-libtffi=? Apr 03 16:08:56 no pig snouts for you! Apr 03 16:26:42 anyone knows the secret sauce needed to boot a vanilla 3.3 on a beagleboard? Apr 03 16:27:09 having trouble? Apr 03 16:27:31 mru: having ice-cream obviously Apr 03 16:27:45 with sauce on top Apr 03 16:28:23 stops after uncompressing, sometimes it comes that far: http://fpaste.org/2M1I/ Apr 03 16:28:38 looks wired Apr 03 16:29:07 try wireless Apr 03 16:29:26 something tried to call a function pointer that's null Apr 03 16:29:46 specifically, irq_enable() did that Apr 03 16:29:47 using wireless (bt) almost always ;) Apr 03 16:30:12 mru: and the caller was irq_startup() Apr 03 16:30:25 amazing what we manage to dig up Apr 03 16:30:28 yes, there's a full stack trace there Apr 03 16:31:03 mru: but since its not printed, framed and photographed on a wooden table, you can't say much, right? Apr 03 16:31:17 I guess not Apr 03 16:31:33 that's why I have a small wooden table Apr 03 16:31:42 even though most of my tables have glass tops Apr 03 16:32:39 okay so before i came on and said my wireless usb wasn't working. I had installed the drivers and they were for a later kernel.. I am not running the later kernel but still on dmesg I cant see any modules being loads Apr 03 16:32:41 is a newer u-boot needed for some obscur reason? I still use 2011.03 which worked with any problem until 3.3 Apr 03 16:32:48 firmware and kernels modules are installed :( Apr 03 16:32:49 +out Apr 03 16:32:50 mru, I'll bet your optical mice love that. Apr 03 16:33:15 * mranostay pokes av500 Apr 03 16:33:24 now* running the later kernel not "not" Apr 03 16:33:30 ka6sox: my logitech mouse works flawlessly Apr 03 16:33:39 not "not" not? Apr 03 16:34:39 av500: :( Apr 03 16:35:12 ive spent my whole day tryna make this kernel work so wifi would work and its made no difference.. nothing happens still Apr 03 16:36:41 av500: i need some troll advice Apr 03 16:37:13 mranostay: read "Trolling for dummies" Apr 03 16:37:24 hire koen Apr 03 16:37:26 touche Apr 03 16:38:04 mranostay: but ask, dont ask to ask Apr 03 16:38:12 av500: how do you hint to someone coming by your cube asking for status multiple times a day is distracting as all hell? :) Apr 03 16:38:22 touche again :) Apr 03 16:38:44 tell him? Apr 03 16:39:14 i like going passive aggressive :) Apr 03 16:39:15 (even if that is totally untrollish) Apr 03 16:39:50 offer him the seat aside Apr 03 16:40:12 heh forced pair trolling? :) Apr 03 16:40:53 call it bonding Apr 03 16:43:37 bondage Apr 03 16:43:56 there exists now a team-driver too Apr 03 17:13:24 btw. musb_hdrc.fifo_mode=5 didn't help here, musb still dies when rsync makes some load on the usb through a bt-network. Apr 03 17:14:41 maniac usb Apr 03 17:20:46 aholler_: I just tried a vanilla-ish 3.3 kernel on beagle-xm Apr 03 17:20:59 and it boots? Apr 03 17:21:04 yes, but ehci doesn't work Apr 03 17:21:17 3.2.14 is fine Apr 03 17:21:38 no problems with 3.2.x here too, but I never got 3.3.x to boot Apr 03 17:22:02 maybe I should try a newer u-boot. Apr 03 17:22:34 usbhs_omap usbhs_omap: xclk60mhsp1_ck set parentfailed error:-22 Apr 03 17:22:47 that looks a bit suspicious Apr 03 17:23:37 hmm, I could play with some config options too. Apr 03 17:24:27 or trying to use dt, maybe that will fix it, as I assume every dev now works with dt ;) Apr 03 17:24:39 yes Apr 03 17:24:43 ALL of them Apr 03 17:25:46 so I just need to wait until they finished their work with 3.6 or such ;) Apr 03 17:27:01 but 3.3 showed some good improvements in the io-scheduler. at least on my 24/7-heavy-loaded-armv5-box Apr 03 17:37:56 I assume that one was it: http://lwn.net/Articles/478440/ Apr 03 17:43:33 at least the kernel versions (start with 2.6.39 and fixed in 3.3) of that problem are somewhat equal to my experience ;) Apr 03 17:56:10 mranostay: i have had to tell my customers how if they will let me get off the phone with them I canget their repair done much faster. Apr 03 17:56:28 This usually gets the needed results and so far they have understood. Apr 03 17:57:27 a printout "Patience is a Virtue" might help Apr 03 17:57:43 too sweet Apr 03 17:58:07 but if subtle is required :) Apr 03 17:58:11 needed if it someone like the boss, project manager or similiar Apr 03 17:58:18 yep Apr 03 18:00:04 put up a sigb reading "ignorance is bliss" and pretend they're not there Apr 03 18:08:43 <_av500_> "trespassers will be shot" Apr 03 18:17:31 "I shoot every third pest, the second one just left!" Apr 03 18:19:12 Hi Apr 03 18:19:17 Can anyone help me? And set up my uart1_rxd uart1_txd with the values ​​20 and 00, when I configured spi0_sclk with the value 21 and spi0_d0 with a value, I can not get answers from uart1_rxd. Could anyone help me? Apr 03 18:19:56 sorry the value of spi0_d0 = 01 Apr 03 18:22:38 hmm, now an automatic bisecting kernel-testing setup for the beagleboard would be handy Apr 03 18:23:48 fuck: http://lwn.net/Articles/490413/ Apr 03 18:25:07 no way around, all emergency exists closed. I've just seen systemd-support in busybox ;) Apr 03 18:25:22 toybox to the rescue? Apr 03 18:25:39 seriously though, udev is getting out of hand Apr 03 18:25:44 we need a sane replacement asap Apr 03 18:26:25 hey, but the merge is gaining them a lot of version numbers for systemd ! will make it look more mature .... Apr 03 18:26:39 I wonder if toybox will ever get usable. busybox includes so much stuff, that will not be easy to replace. Apr 03 18:28:08 I'm worried that this is just the first step in a gradual creep towards making systemd mandatory Apr 03 18:28:22 thats their plan Apr 03 18:28:26 I'm sure Apr 03 18:28:33 oh, I'm sure of it too Apr 03 18:28:36 and afterwards a registry Apr 03 18:28:45 they already have that Apr 03 18:30:21 Hi, I crosscompile dsplink example (make examples test in C6run ) (http://elinux.org/ECE497_Notes_on_Installing_Angstrom_via_Narcissus) Now i have 2 executable files hello_world_dsp and hello_world_arm arm works fine but hellow_world_dsp gives me error " CMEM Error: init: Failed to open /dev/cmem: 'No such file or directory' CMEM_init() failed! Memory allocation for DSP image has failed. C6RUN_IPC_create() failed! " what am I Apr 03 18:30:26 it's called gconf or whatever they replaced that with Apr 03 18:31:19 you could always go back to /sbin/hotplug and just use devtmpfs for initial device creation, nobody actually *needs* udev Apr 03 18:31:37 For BeagleBone 2-3" LCD w/touch screen serial i/f shipping now. Anyone? Apr 03 18:31:43 ah, I forgot about gconf as I'm a kde-user ;) Apr 03 18:32:27 and here is dmesg http://pastebin.com/NgGzkAwy Apr 03 18:42:32 !@$@#$!%#@$@#!@$!@#@!!@#!@#@#!%#!@$@! google Apr 03 18:42:52 so the latest scam is to force spam onto us by destroying moderation with so called improvements Apr 03 18:44:56 /usr/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/../../../../arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s Apr 03 18:45:13 anyone know what do to about that? Apr 03 18:45:17 ds2: you can always run your own spam filter Apr 03 18:45:38 sabesto: whatever else you do, get yourself a modern gcc version Apr 03 18:45:45 4.5 or 4.6 Apr 03 18:45:58 i did "opkg install task-native-sdk" Apr 03 18:45:59 ELDK 5.1 or apt-get install arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc Apr 03 18:46:03 Ah, ok Apr 03 18:46:08 Angstrom? Apr 03 18:46:10 yes Apr 03 18:46:13 hmm, anyone already tested 4.7? Apr 03 18:46:18 4.3 is still bloody ancient Apr 03 18:46:21 Easier to get a newer angstrom rootfs Apr 03 18:46:26 Than do a live upgrade Apr 03 18:46:35 http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/ Apr 03 18:46:51 You can get 4.5 via that, at least, I'm pretty sure Apr 03 18:46:52 or, can anyone compile 2k worth of C for me so that it works with ångstrom? Apr 03 18:47:01 http://samiam.org/software/microdns-20100805.c Apr 03 18:47:13 Might need to say "advanced" for options and then pick stable, not 2011.03 Apr 03 18:47:55 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47833678/pele_elektronik3.jpg <-- look how pretty :P Apr 03 18:48:16 sabesto: http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm/autobuilds/current-stage3-armv7a_hardfp/ ;) Apr 03 18:48:50 what is that? Apr 03 18:49:03 just chroot, and compile static version of your foo Apr 03 18:50:04 it's a native compiler "in a box" ;) Apr 03 18:50:15 thats greek to me Apr 03 18:50:15 mru: I could but that is such a stupid idea...spam should be filtered UPSTREAM Apr 03 18:50:20 but i will try Apr 03 18:52:04 bah, 22min, that beagleboard isnt that fast Apr 03 18:57:09 \ Apr 03 18:57:16 / Apr 03 18:58:15 | Apr 03 18:58:36 - Apr 03 18:59:03 0_0 Apr 03 18:59:14 ¬ Apr 03 18:59:43 * ds2 tosses scooby snacks around the channel Apr 03 19:00:03 ←↓→ Apr 03 19:01:10 * mranostay checks baud rate for the channel Apr 03 19:01:53 45Z Apr 03 19:33:54 ZZzzzzzz Apr 03 19:55:44 Hey! Apr 03 19:55:47 It's not March any more! Apr 03 19:55:52 Where the hell is PASMv2 !?!?!?! Apr 03 19:56:40 next to ivy-bridge Apr 03 19:57:25 aholler_: made it work, would you recommend that distro instead of angstrom? Apr 03 19:58:30 depends on your skills and if you like to compile native. I'm using it since 2000 or so ;) Apr 03 19:58:48 * djlewis thinks its hiding in the flowers Apr 03 19:59:27 aholler_: i only needed this for this one program Apr 03 20:00:01 the beagleboard will be used to run an apache tomcat server (which means java), dns and dhcp Apr 03 20:00:04 thats it Apr 03 20:00:42 i'm only coding AVR for the time being Apr 03 20:00:52 java (especially tomcat) and "thats it" doesn't fit together Apr 03 20:01:14 i know, but that is how it is Apr 03 20:01:40 i did not program the applet Apr 03 20:02:05 50k USD spent on the software Apr 03 20:02:21 runs fine on the beagle as is now Apr 03 20:04:44 I don't know anything about the state of java for arm. and using gentoo you are on your own. Apr 03 20:05:11 i just used opkg and it worked :) Apr 03 20:05:53 sounds like ubuntu might be the right decision for you ;) Apr 03 20:06:52 i'm not that much into linux Apr 03 20:07:42 then gentoo isn't what you want to use. Apr 03 20:08:40 well, when the hardware is working i could get help from the IT gurus at uni Apr 03 20:09:12 but they scream if they have to code in anything lower then java Apr 03 20:10:08 I wonder why they get called gurus Apr 03 20:10:58 they know their way around unix, but suck at coding Apr 03 20:13:28 try ubuntu or debian, might be the easiest. I think they both offer armhf (hardfloat) now Apr 03 20:14:30 hmm, seems like the dns script doesnt work Apr 03 20:14:54 and both have a much larger community than angstrom Apr 03 20:15:15 my server runs ubuntu Apr 03 20:15:33 i did use centos but yeah, the community is bigger with ubuntu Apr 03 20:19:01 I'm trying to clone the angstrom repo w/ git and it's hanging Apr 03 20:19:33 could one of you check whether this works: git clone git://git.angstrom-distribution.org/setup-scripts Apr 03 20:21:03 I keep getting 'cloning into setup-scripts...' then a several minute pause, followed by 'fatal:read error: Connection reset by peer' Apr 03 20:21:26 zippy: follow the instructions at http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom Apr 03 20:21:50 I am. I am stuck on step 1 Apr 03 20:21:56 (I've done it successfully before) Apr 03 20:22:33 oh, a different url Apr 03 20:22:34 duh Apr 03 20:22:35 sorry Apr 03 20:22:40 let me try that Apr 03 20:23:23 thank you, koen Apr 03 20:29:29 angstrom for the beagle shouldn't be delivered without gcc and opencv in the image ;) Apr 03 20:32:15 aholler_: thanks a lot for the help Apr 03 20:32:24 hi. i'm was running a program which logs a bunch of data. at one point, i lost ssh over wifi, the beagle seemed to be running. the logs have data, and then random stuff, like data from another log, pieces of kernel code, etc Apr 03 20:32:36 could the problem be that i'm running low on SD space? Apr 03 20:44:53 prpplague^2, you survive the weather OK? Apr 03 21:05:13 hi bonies Apr 03 21:16:50 rlrosa: check your free space ? Apr 03 21:18:39 http://www.ballmerpeakathon.com/ Apr 03 21:23:55 mru: what a refreshing, rewarding event :) Apr 03 21:40:30 Hello, I am new on linux environment. I've been trying to understand how to connect and install Aptina's camera on my beagleboard, but i just understand. Could anybody help me? Apr 03 21:44:10 is that a usb camera? Apr 03 21:45:47 No, is the module developed by LeopardImaging. Using the Mt9P031 cmos sensor Apr 03 21:46:23 T-88minutes Apr 03 21:46:31 whoops Apr 03 21:46:55 so you have a beagle-xm? Apr 03 21:46:57 mission scrubbed? Apr 03 21:47:09 not that I know of Apr 03 21:47:21 going to go outside in about 75minutes or so Apr 03 21:47:34 mru: Yes, i have a beagleboad-XM Apr 03 21:47:40 what are they flying? Apr 03 21:47:47 Delta4 Apr 03 21:49:24 mmm SLC6....not many go out of there. Apr 03 21:50:00 hmmm... amtrak isn't scheduled to go by there around that time, are they? Apr 03 21:50:51 might be...but I doubt they will let it pass Apr 03 21:50:59 the Platforms are hunkered down by now. Apr 03 21:51:35 don't want it to pass... want to watch it from the train! Apr 03 21:51:45 that is the closest one can get Apr 03 21:51:49 ya, front row seat Apr 03 21:51:56 they close the road to Surf. Apr 03 21:52:28 apparently some lucky people got to see the last shuttle launch from planes in "vicinity" Apr 03 21:52:30 just for this or is that closed permenantly? Apr 03 21:53:52 just for this Apr 03 21:54:02 or go to Jalama....good surfing day today. Apr 03 21:54:11 oh nifty... I got to find out how to get out to that area of the beach then Apr 03 22:50:53 what the heck, the beagleboard changes mac address every time it boots? Apr 03 22:51:08 sabesto: no nand :) Apr 03 22:51:14 set it in uEnv.txt Apr 03 22:51:31 or in /etc/network/interfaces Apr 03 22:51:45 yeah, i've been tearing my hair out for 2 hours Apr 03 22:52:12 then i noticed that the mac was changing Apr 03 22:52:41 no wonder static ip didnt work Apr 03 22:54:36 there is already a line with optargs, can i just add another? Apr 03 22:58:26 <_av500_> yes Apr 03 23:04:12 ds2: 8 minutes Apr 03 23:05:56 colour me gone :) Apr 03 23:06:07 leaving the planet?

Apr 03 23:08:20 added: optargs="ethaddr=00:11:22:33:44:66" didnt work Apr 03 23:08:32 nite _av500_ Apr 03 23:08:46 sabesto: which interface? Apr 03 23:09:26 the onboard one Apr 03 23:09:29 xm? Apr 03 23:09:32 yes Apr 03 23:09:42 what kernel are you using? Apr 03 23:10:14 the one that came with it :P Apr 03 23:10:19 dont know Apr 03 23:10:58 does that have a patch to set the mac addr from cmdline? Apr 03 23:14:23 kernel-2.6.32-random-mac-address-fix.patch i presume, kernel match Apr 03 23:14:44 just need to do it without fucking up everything Apr 03 23:15:58 that's a horrible patch Apr 03 23:16:56 trying /etc/networking/interfaces first Apr 03 23:21:46 * mranostay is reminded why he drinks :) Apr 03 23:22:32 mranostay: because you are married to a bajan woman? oh wait that is why i drink Apr 03 23:22:40 ffs, that did not work either Apr 03 23:25:58 verify your options with cat /proc/cmdline Apr 03 23:26:58 not there Apr 03 23:29:32 mranostay: hey, what are you using as the voltage boost on your counter? Apr 03 23:34:59 seems it is a SN74ACT14N Apr 03 23:35:52 oh ring oscillator driving a xformer? Apr 03 23:36:04 well, guess i just have to set a static ip on the beagleboard Apr 03 23:36:22 then you probally are using a 400V tube? Apr 03 23:40:28 yeah Apr 03 23:40:32 SBT-9 Apr 03 23:44:00 the high sensitivey tube looks to be interesting but no simple power supplies for it... Apr 03 23:54:33 anyone recommend an online tutorial for a newbie to learn XML? i'd like to recommend one, but to be honest i never looked for one Apr 03 23:57:28 ds2: which tube is that? Apr 03 23:57:40 one of the LND ones? Apr 04 00:07:09 mranostay: one of the electronics goldmine ones Apr 04 00:10:07 hmm Apr 04 00:10:20 no one seems to have stock of the xm Apr 04 00:10:48 just order one and see Apr 04 00:13:00 oh? Apr 04 00:25:10 prpplague: w3c schools? Apr 04 00:26:13 jay6981: hehe Apr 04 00:26:15 guess so Apr 04 00:56:37 it's w3schools, unaffiliated with the w3c Apr 04 01:00:18 it's just an unfortunate name choice that they've been unwilling to change despite repeated requests from the w3c Apr 04 01:01:10 Thank you for your order, Please give me a better application of the parts? Apr 04 01:01:11 What are you using them for? Apr 04 01:01:15 well done digikey Apr 04 01:01:30 i would have thought "personal home experimental use" would have been enough... Apr 04 01:01:56 you're probably up to no good, though Apr 04 01:02:41 you have to prove to them otherwise! Apr 04 01:02:52 hm, I've never encountered that line of questioning from them Apr 04 01:03:22 "i have money i want to give to you for a product" Apr 04 01:05:12 "shut up and take my money!" Apr 04 01:05:17 ^^ Apr 04 01:08:13 i'm in australia Apr 04 01:08:17 maybe they don't like us Apr 04 01:18:44 my-o-my, the spam on our beaglegroups Apr 04 01:31:33 hello, i need to do gpio reads and writes at 1MHz, does anyone have working code for this???

Apr 04 01:33:36 user space right now, but i could go down to the kernel if need be Apr 04 01:33:44 i think i will need to go down to kernel space Apr 04 01:34:23 mycle_vername: how many gpios do you need to read/write to ?
