**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun May 13 02:59:59 2012 May 13 03:16:40 hi May 13 03:22:21 I finally got a decent internet connection, verizon 4G LTE Mifi May 13 04:53:52 I am a BeagleBone newbie. Just succesfully ran the blinkled sample using Cloud9. Question: how do I configure the script to run automatically when the BB is booted? May 13 04:54:43 On what OS? May 13 04:55:01 If Angstrom, same way you get any script to run on startup--add it to the rc scripts. May 13 04:56:12 I'm running the preinstalled Angstrom Linux on the BB. Connected to a Windows machine through putty. May 13 04:56:29 Yup. May 13 04:56:42 Look uo tutorials on installing rc scripts on Linux. May 13 04:56:47 It is usually pretty easy. May 13 04:56:52 *up May 13 05:00:18 The code runs under Cloud9. I assume Cloud9 loads a script onto the BB but I don't know where it is stored. There appears to nothing in the BB filesystem. May 13 05:00:35 What is Cloud9? May 13 05:03:44 Could9 is a development environment that runs on the BB. Its interface is via web pages served up to a browser. Very cool, but I dont really know where the code is... May 13 05:04:13 *Cloud9 May 13 05:04:32 It comes with the BB May 13 05:05:16 Ah. May 13 05:05:19 I have no idea. May 13 05:05:31 My experience is with the xM and the PandaBoard. May 13 05:06:19 OK thanks anyway. You should check the BB out... May 13 05:06:23 My recommendation is to either ask on the mailing list, or wait a few hours until more folk are online. I gather that this channel is mostly US folk, and it is currently just after one in the morning in the Eastern part of the US. May 13 05:06:36 xabra: Too low-powered for the kinds of things I do. May 13 07:28:56 | checking if doubles are stored in x86 representation... May 13 07:29:08 | configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling May 13 07:29:22 * koen isn't believing collectds claims of running on embedded May 13 07:29:38 the wrt dudes don't do native compilation May 13 13:27:18 what is max sink/source current for beagle bone GPIO pins? reference document? May 13 13:43:00 Evning May 13 13:45:44 is theris the VDD_5V expansion header pin equal to vin or is ut somhow regulated? May 13 13:46:26 1000mA feels kind of heigh for the board to handle so im guessing its the max current supported by the board? May 13 13:48:25 have you looked at the schematics? May 13 13:50:33 koen: i tryed to find the specific schematics for that but i culdnt find it, (also im not that good with schematics). May 13 13:51:14 as stated above, i would guess thats vin, source http://beagleboard.org/static/BONESRM_latest.pdf May 13 14:03:42 hmm, u-boot now has to be written with nandecc hw instead of sw. May 13 14:04:09 does that mean hw ecc in the kernel might work too? May 13 16:21:34 heya. I noticed that with the demo angstrom delivered with my xm board, cpuinfo gives a speed of ~470 bogomips. Same with an ubuntu distro I tried. May 13 16:21:49 This seems to be quite low? (I know bogomips is not the best indicator for cpu speed, but anyway) May 13 16:31:23 <_av500_> its bogus May 13 16:31:48 <_av500_> and why not use the real clock speed info? May 13 17:21:20 _av500_: clock speed in MHz hardly gives an accurate indication of anything May 13 17:25:23 fierman: it will give an indication whether your kernel is f***ed up or not May 13 17:25:56 fierman: or is it something else you are trying to figure out? May 13 17:29:34 cpufreq-set -g ondemand ? May 13 17:32:00 negative bogomips is what I ever wanted, speed which brakes the INT_MAX limit… May 13 18:16:36 koen: are all the beagle-xm kernels shipped with the boards or readily available for download from various fishy places 1ghz capable already? at least fierman is curious and tries to verify something, that's way better than what phoronix did ;) May 13 18:41:05 ssvb: a few issues actually. first i am under the impression that the ubuntu 'port' is just a quick hack, for demonstration purposes only. second the angstrom demo image supplied with the board is an older version. So I was not assuming anything there to be 'correct' or optimal anyway May 13 18:42:01 but i could not find anything in the user documentation regarding cpu scaling )or i just overlooked) May 13 18:42:21 (btw. cpuinfo does not return clock speed here) May 13 18:46:01 ssvb: but thanks for the hint, that at least answered my questions :) May 13 18:46:11 fierman: are you doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo" or running "cpufreq-info" program from cpufrequtils package? May 13 18:46:46 ssvb: thanks to your hint cpufreq-* now (was unaware of this package) May 13 18:47:09 /proc/cpuinfo only gave speed in bogoMIPS May 13 18:48:32 fierman: you can also go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ directory and find a lot of interesting stuff there May 13 18:49:09 tthanks :) May 13 18:54:16 is the memory being clocked correctly yet on the xm? May 13 18:54:35 hopefully uefi will become reality for arm-boards in the near future… May 13 18:56:38 i am sort of trying to find out where to get a fairly recent angstrom image from. narcissus fails to boot ob anything other than the basic simple configuration May 13 18:57:28 and the demo directory is without timestamps or readme's , which make it somewhat hard to choose the file i want :) May 13 19:43:51 ssvb: there's no 1GHz support for omap3 based devices May 13 19:44:04 ssvb: unless you are a big TI android customer May 13 19:44:32 ssvb: the official position from TI is: use 2.6.32 May 13 19:44:43 * koen is glad not to work for TI anymore May 13 19:47:00 koen: sent you a pull request on github for my config-from-eeprom code. did you see it? Or do you want a plain patch? May 13 20:15:22 koen: so, is TI kind of trying to adopt the Chinese model? I found this post about Allwinner A10 quite insightful - http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/pipermail/arm-netbook/2012-March/002881.html May 13 20:48:03 koen: no, that patch doesn't fix any visible bugs May 13 20:48:35 those functions were reading a bit more than they needed but didn't use it for anything May 13 20:58:58 <_av500_> ssvb: ah, reading that list now :) May 13 21:51:54 been working since 1600 this afternoon to get a running instance of angstrom .. May 13 21:52:03 everything but the demo fails May 13 21:54:56 odd, usually it's the other way around: the demo works and everything else fails May 13 21:55:08 that's what i said :) May 13 21:55:15 everything but May 13 21:55:22 right... May 13 21:55:24 * mru can't read May 13 21:55:39 but that;s out of scope for this channel i suppose May 13 21:56:02 man. i remember fiddling with openzaurus.. 8 years ago May 13 21:56:23 which was sort of straightforward May 13 21:59:10 can i sort of assume development has ceased for over a year now ? May 13 21:59:29 newest prebuilt images I can find are almost 2 years old May 13 21:59:43 development of what? May 13 22:00:23 of an OS aimed at the end-user May 13 22:17:00 fierman: many linux distros support arm nowadays, and you can get them running on a beagleboard (or any other board) if you have a non-broken kernel May 13 22:18:40 fierman: or do you mean full support for all the bells and whistles like the drivers for fancy hardware accelerators and various binary blobs? May 13 22:22:01 ssvb: all i 'need' or wish for is a OS which enables me to log into , and where I am able to build a more recent kernel and base system. May 13 22:22:05 ;-) May 13 22:22:16 sorry, will try to be more constructive in the future :) May 13 22:22:20 and thanks for the help May 13 22:47:31 does anyone here have a beagle board with a mainline u-boot and a lcd / dvi connection? May 13 22:51:32 if so, reading the code, it seems it tries to init the lcd to display an orange screen... May 13 22:51:41 does that work? May 13 23:13:59 sometimes May 13 23:30:26 aholler: is that an answer to my question? May 14 02:01:49 Hello all,when I develop an aplication on the Angstrom,I can find the arm-arago-linux-gnueabi-gcc,however,where is the headfile? May 14 02:03:31 I use the Elipse to develop an aplication on the Angstrom and I can't find the headfile.Does anybody can help me ? May 14 02:09:01 are you using codesourcery or oe based builds? May 14 02:09:28 (for libraries and such) May 14 02:35:52 Hello ,there is a sdk named ti-sdk-am335x-evm,I use it to compile my application. May 14 02:36:14 Hello thurbad,there is a sdk named ti-sdk-am335x-evm,I use it to compile my application. May 14 02:38:17 not familiar with that :/ May 14 02:38:42 thank U all the same! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon May 14 02:59:59 2012
