Apr 15 04:09:51 <mikel> I am made an angstrom sd card for my beagle board xm rev c
Apr 15 04:09:59 <mikel> following these instructions:http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners#Writing_the_.C3.85ngstr.C3.B6m_image_into_the_SDcard_and_finally_booting_GNU.2FLinux
Apr 15 04:10:11 <mikel> it seemed to work at first but it has been stuck on Uncompressing Linux.... for over 30 min now
Apr 15 04:10:19 <mikel> does it just take that long the first time or did I mess something up?
Apr 15 04:13:48 <jay6981> it doesn't take that long
Apr 15 04:14:19 <mikel> do you know what could have happed to it?
Apr 15 04:15:44 <jay6981> check the kernel parameter: console=
Apr 15 04:16:27 <mikel> how?
Apr 15 06:47:45 <aholler> /
Apr 15 07:02:10 <_av500_> \
Apr 15 07:18:14 <mranostay> _av500_: -
Apr 15 08:38:55 <aholler> my desk now sports a purple tentacle ;)
Apr 15 08:42:31 <mranostay> TMI!
Apr 15 08:46:41 <aholler> ENSLAVE ALL HUMANITY!
Apr 15 08:55:43 <f11f12> good morning?
Apr 15 09:09:05 <aholler> http://ahsoftware.de/ENSLAVE_ALL_HUMANITY!.jpg ;)
Apr 15 09:14:36 <f11f12> EBVbeagle :-) btw: your cube isn't done :-)
Apr 15 09:14:52 <dm8tbr> aholler: where's chuck?
Apr 15 09:15:14 <aholler> I'm not sure if I can still solve the cube, it's about 35a old
Apr 15 09:15:35 <aholler> just found it in the cellar
Apr 15 11:05:06 <devillino> good morning
Apr 15 11:11:45 <devillino> But with usb port of BeagleBone (rev. A5), can I  connect most device on usb??
Apr 15 11:14:23 <f11f12> I didn't get that
Apr 15 11:22:06 <devillino> :( thanks
Apr 15 11:22:47 <f11f12> devillino: try, again ;-)  you want to connect someting to the BeagleBone via USB? what?
Apr 15 11:24:48 <f11f12> The small one (P3) provides you with a serial port and a jtag debugger (XDS100 style). To the large one you can connect any usb device (memory stick, webcam,...)
Apr 15 11:34:20 <devillino> mmm this is good ....i want connect this modules: gps, camera and custom panel
Apr 15 11:36:35 <devillino> can i do it?
Apr 15 11:37:12 <f11f12> you can attach a usb hub, but those devices will  draw much power, so a powered hub would be good.
Apr 15 11:38:40 <devillino> i andestoond is perfect thanks bye
Apr 15 12:17:04 <kvarley> I have horizontal lines when playing a video using "mplayer -vo omapfb file.avi" - any ideas why?
Apr 15 12:17:54 <koen> kvarley: -noslice
Apr 15 12:18:04 <koen> provided the lines you're seeing are green
Apr 15 12:18:19 <koen> or -noslices, I forget the proper incantation
Apr 15 12:19:16 <kvarley> koen: Thanks so much - that fixed it
Apr 15 12:19:56 <kvarley> The volume seems kinda low on the beagleboard-xM, I have to have my built-in speakers at 100% and with a 15dB boost via mplayer
Apr 15 12:44:02 <mru> get a bigger amp :)
Apr 15 12:48:15 <kvarley> mru: Indeed
Apr 15 12:48:24 <kvarley> Gonna get some semi-portable speakers
Apr 15 12:49:57 <aholler> why semi?
Apr 15 12:50:29 <aholler> i'm using bt-speakers
Apr 15 13:07:46 <kvarley> Well, portable speakers might not be good enough
Apr 15 13:07:48 <kvarley> We'll see
Apr 15 13:57:21 <mru> portable is a relative thing
Apr 15 13:57:55 <mru> are trolleys allowed?
Apr 15 14:43:51 <mru> a guy juat walked by in t-shirt with the text "believe the hype", must be part of rpi marketing campaign
Apr 15 14:56:50 <aholler> he should add the text "coming soon"
Apr 15 15:00:10 <mikel> my beagleboard mx rev c with a bootable Ångström sd card always gets stuck on uncompressing linux.....
Apr 15 15:00:33 <mikel> does anyone know what could be causing this problem?
Apr 15 15:10:35 <mru> almost anything
Apr 15 15:10:52 <mru> how are you powering the board?
Apr 15 15:12:38 <mikel> from the 5v
Apr 15 15:12:43 <mikel> to the wall
Apr 15 15:16:51 <kvarley> mikel: Was it from the microSD card which shipped with the board?
Apr 15 15:19:28 <mikel> kvarley:
Apr 15 15:19:29 <mikel> no
Apr 15 15:19:46 <kvarley> hmm
Apr 15 15:19:49 <kvarley> not sure
Apr 15 15:19:53 <mikel> I made it with these instructions:http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners#BeagleBoard_xM_2
Apr 15 15:20:00 <kvarley> Is the card reliable?
Apr 15 15:20:16 <mikel> yes, I have tried with two difference ones, same error.
Apr 15 15:20:33 <mikel> It has to be something I am not doing
Apr 15 15:21:39 <kvarley> Do you have a serial cable?
Apr 15 15:21:43 <mikel> yes
Apr 15 15:21:48 <kvarley> Anything useful said there?
Apr 15 15:22:02 <mikel> what do you mean?
Apr 15 15:22:15 <kvarley> Any errors
Apr 15 15:22:19 <kvarley> Or does it just stop?
Apr 15 15:22:28 <mikel> no just uncompressing linux...............................
Apr 15 15:22:34 <mikel> waited for 45 min
Apr 15 15:22:37 <mikel> nothing
Apr 15 15:23:21 <kvarley> Did you make the card with a .img
Apr 15 15:23:33 <kvarley> If you didn't
Apr 15 15:23:34 <mikel> yes
Apr 15 15:23:38 <kvarley> Hmm
Apr 15 15:23:39 <kvarley> Weird
Apr 15 15:23:43 <kvarley> Sorry I can't be of more use
Apr 15 15:24:02 <kvarley> I use this image: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Beagleboard
Apr 15 15:24:10 <kvarley> Which always works for me
Apr 15 15:24:16 <kvarley> Comes with all the drivers you need preinstalled
Apr 15 15:24:22 <mru> are any of the leds blinking?
Apr 15 15:25:35 <mikel> one is always on
Apr 15 15:25:42 <mikel> another blinks steadily
Apr 15 15:25:47 <mikel> and last one sometimes on
Apr 15 15:27:54 <mru> blinking fast?
Apr 15 15:28:01 <mikel> no
Apr 15 15:28:35 <mikel> onetwo.......................onetwo..................onetwo..................
Apr 15 15:28:45 <mru> hmm
Apr 15 15:29:20 <mru> one double-blink per second or so?
Apr 15 15:30:19 <mikel> yes
Apr 15 15:30:47 <mru> odd
Apr 15 15:31:33 <mru> a kernel panic results in rapid blinking
Apr 15 15:59:40 <aholler> looks like the normal heardbeat, maybe console off and quiet? I thin ubuntu has used such a setting
Apr 15 17:55:07 <_av500_> yes
Apr 15 17:55:23 <_av500_> ubuntu is a deaf, dumb and blind kid
Apr 15 18:42:47 <isaacbw> the beaglebone's pin mux has an spi line with a single chip select pin. Why would that be useful?
Apr 15 18:43:29 <isaacbw> I mean, I can imagine it might be useful sometimes, but it seems like many applications would call for more than one chip select. The other spi line on the beaglebone has just two chip selects. :(
Apr 15 19:00:33 <GreyCon> Hi there, any Angstrom toolchain guys around today?
Apr 15 19:08:02 <isaacbw> my real question: what if I want to create extra SPI lines? What is the "best" way? Can I just do it with a few GPIOs or is there an external IC that is used?
Apr 15 19:44:58 <_av500_> gate the CS signal with some GPIOs
Apr 15 19:46:36 <mranostay> datasheets in Russia. woot.. :)
Apr 15 19:47:24 <_av500_> in soviet russia, data sheets you
Apr 15 19:51:35 <jkridner_> just started up the logbot again.
Apr 15 19:51:38 <jkridner_> what did I miss?
Apr 15 19:51:49 <_av500_> no idea
Apr 15 19:51:52 <_av500_> when did it die?
Apr 15 19:51:57 <jkridner_> Thursday.
Apr 15 19:52:03 <_av500_> you missed Friday
Apr 15 19:52:19 <jkridner_> I see I got some pings, but they aren't in my scrollback buffer.
Apr 15 19:52:26 <prpplague> _av500_: my son is pestering me for an archos tablet
Apr 15 19:52:36 <_av500_> he doth right
Apr 15 19:53:23 <dm8tbr> jkridner_: btw, did you get my bone form entry back then?
Apr 15 19:53:53 <prpplague> _av500_: hehe, he has a g+ account now, don't be surprised if he adds you
Apr 15 19:54:07 * jkridner_ checks for dm8tbr's entry.
Apr 15 19:54:58 * _av500_ wonders what a "bone form entry back" is....
Apr 15 19:55:10 <mranostay> jkridner_: we discoverd the meaning of life. that wasn't logged?!!? :)
Apr 15 19:55:25 <_av500_> mranostay: no need, it can be googled
Apr 15 19:55:27 <dm8tbr> av500: same as the 'bone form entry front' just other side
Apr 15 19:55:50 <_av500_> dm8tbr: wasnt that the "front for an entry of bone form"?
Apr 15 19:58:55 <pastjean> hi there, i just go a beaglebone (btw quite impressed), got 2 main questions. Are there tutorials on things like ADC and how to make it work?
Apr 15 19:59:18 <pastjean> second one , I saw that there  is can support on the processor does the linux provided supports it
Apr 15 19:59:37 <jkridner_> pastjean: there are a couple of simple posts showing you how to use the tsc entries in sysfs to read ADC.
Apr 15 20:00:04 <jkridner_> there are also some mentions of distros enabling can support in the kernel.
Apr 15 20:00:43 <pastjean> jkridner_: Thank you, "googling it will give me what i search or there are some specific places
Apr 15 20:01:08 <jkridner_> My quick google returned: http://bwgz57.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/beaglebone-how-hot-is-it/
Apr 15 20:01:33 <jkridner_> seemed good enough for me.
Apr 15 20:01:42 <jkridner_> er, to me.
Apr 15 20:02:16 <jkridner_> http://www.towertech.it/en/products/hardware/tt3201-can-cape/ might help with CAN.
Apr 15 20:02:28 <jkridner_> or http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBone_CANBus
Apr 15 20:02:41 <pastjean_> damn turned of a switch
Apr 15 20:02:53 <pastjean_> jkridner_: thanks (found what you said in the irc logs
Apr 15 20:03:41 <pastjean_> jkridner_: thank you very much :)
Apr 15 20:04:33 <jkridner_> http://www.towertech.it/en/products/hardware/tt3201-can-cape/manual/ seems to go into some usage details with Angstrom
Apr 15 20:05:26 <pastjean_> oh right. Thanks , seems ill maybe use the beaglebone for more than i tought!!!
Apr 15 23:00:47 <underhill> my beagle board is not showing up when I hook it up to my computer via ethernet
Apr 15 23:00:52 <underhill> I am trying to get internet
Apr 15 23:00:58 <underhill> I know how to make a bridge, but I do not know how to make it show up
Apr 15 23:01:36 <isaacbw> it's not showing up on the network?
Apr 15 23:01:54 <underhill> its not showing up on the network
Apr 15 23:02:02 <isaacbw> wait, you plugged it into your computer's ethernet or you plugged it into the router?
Apr 15 23:02:12 <underhill> computer's ethernet
Apr 15 23:02:32 <isaacbw> do you have a router?
Apr 15 23:02:34 <underhill> it works fine when plugged into the router
Apr 15 23:02:45 <W1N9Zr0> did you use a crossover cable?
Apr 15 23:02:57 <underhill> no
Apr 15 23:03:01 <mru> W1N9Zr0: most eth ports these days are auto-sensing
Apr 15 23:03:09 <mru> underhill: does your pc have a gigabit port?
Apr 15 23:03:16 <isaacbw> wouldn't you have to set a static IP on the PC?
Apr 15 23:03:26 <isaacbw> because it wouldn't be able to find a dhcp server
Apr 15 23:03:30 <underhill> mru: I don't think so
Apr 15 23:03:41 <mru> underhill: do such PCs still exist?
Apr 15 23:03:44 <underhill> isaacbw: how would you do that?
Apr 15 23:03:49 <isaacbw> network settings
Apr 15 23:03:54 <isaacbw> windows?
Apr 15 23:03:56 <mru> oh well, do the link indicators come on?
Apr 15 23:04:15 <underhill> crunchbang (debian based)
Apr 15 23:04:20 <mru> wtf is that
Apr 15 23:04:24 <underhill> mru: yes
Apr 15 23:04:41 <underhill> #! = crunchbang
Apr 15 23:04:48 <mru> no it's not
Apr 15 23:04:53 <isaacbw> on arch it's under /etc/rc.conf
Apr 15 23:04:54 <mru> #! = shebang
Apr 15 23:04:56 <isaacbw> I don't know about debian
Apr 15 23:05:19 <mru> anyway, my pandas currently have green and orange LEDs lit
Apr 15 23:05:54 <underhill> so does mine
Apr 15 23:06:08 <underhill> but not found on the network
Apr 15 23:06:31 <mru> does any LED light up on the PC ethernet port?
Apr 15 23:06:38 <isaacbw> did you set your address yet?
Apr 15 23:06:45 <underhill> mru:yes
Apr 15 23:06:54 <mru> ok, then the cabling is fine
Apr 15 23:07:06 <underhill> isaacbw:no, its not under /etc.rc.conf
Apr 15 23:07:13 <mru> one or both ends is probably trying to use dhcp and not finding anything
Apr 15 23:07:32 <isaacbw> what does ifconfig tell you?
Apr 15 23:07:42 <underhill> on beagle or computer?
Apr 15 23:08:09 <isaacbw> computer
Apr 15 23:08:38 <underhill> lo        Link encap:Local Loopback             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1           RX packets:88 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0           TX packets:88 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0            RX bytes:7360 (7.1 KiB)  TX bytes:7360 (7.1 KiB)  wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWadd
Apr 15 23:08:55 <isaacbw> yea you need to set a static ip
Apr 15 23:09:16 <underhill> for what and how?
Apr 15 23:10:55 <isaacbw> http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Configuring_the_interface_manually
Apr 15 23:11:02 <isaacbw> you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
Apr 15 23:11:27 <underhill> wouldn't the beagle need a static, not the computer?
Apr 15 23:11:39 <mru> both do
Apr 15 23:11:47 <underhill> k
Apr 15 23:11:48 <mru> well, one does
Apr 15 23:12:15 <mru> you could run a dhcp server on either end
Apr 15 23:12:44 <isaacbw> heh
Apr 15 23:13:03 <isaacbw> I think the beagleboard might ship with a static ip
Apr 15 23:16:55 <underhill> no, looking t config on beagle, its dhcp
Apr 15 23:19:10 <isaacbw> then you'll have to change the beagle's config, settle for using the router, or do what mru said and run a dhcp server on your computer
Apr 15 23:46:56 <delinquentme> hey all ... how does one begin programming a beagle board?
Apr 15 23:47:06 <delinquentme> how is code uploaded?
Apr 15 23:47:21 <delinquentme> and can you write code like python to it ?
Apr 15 23:54:18 <delinquentme> do you just treat it like a computer ? install python and all that good stuff on it?
Apr 16 00:10:10 <isaacbw> "do you just treat it like a computer ? install python and all that good stuff on it?"
Apr 16 00:10:10 <isaacbw> yea
Apr 16 00:10:40 <isaacbw> You can plug in a monitor and keyboard and play quake on it if you want
Apr 16 00:17:11 <mranostay> mru: trolling my picture taking skills as well? :)
Apr 16 00:20:05 <mru> no, your camera buying skills
Apr 16 00:24:44 <mranostay> mru: just my phone :)
Apr 16 00:30:25 <mranostay> mru: what real cameras do you own?
Apr 16 00:53:12 <delinquentme> wait the beagle comes pre installed w ubuntu right?
Apr 16 00:53:19 <delinquentme> why are people talking about installing angstrom on it?
Apr 16 00:53:22 <delinquentme> just a smaller OS?
Apr 16 01:05:09 <mranostay> delinquentme: you got it backwards :)
Apr 16 01:05:55 <delinquentme> oh does it come with angstrom?
Apr 16 01:08:14 <hads> Yes
