**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Aug 23 03:00:00 2012 Aug 23 08:44:29 Hello. I'm trying to Install Angstrom on linux system. I've followied the setps in the BB site, but I'm still having problems mounting the image on the device. can somone assist? Aug 23 08:53:51 always assume we cannot look over your shoulder Aug 23 08:55:46 assumed Aug 23 08:56:02 I just need help to partition the card Aug 23 08:58:55 hi can anybody help me with failed bios update with ibm intellistation z pro 9228 (also known as z30)? sorry for offtopic but im running out of ideas. Aug 23 09:05:42 ohad: there is a script to partition the card Aug 23 09:13:35 <_sundar_> netman87, try to reboot the system and flash the bios again.. oh wait.. Aug 23 09:14:20 _sundar_: rebooted already Aug 23 09:14:39 I know and I'm using it, but I never get the two partitions i'm suppose to get Aug 23 09:14:49 there was "recovery mode" in manuals but seems like i cant do it... also ship isnt removable Aug 23 09:14:58 chip* Aug 23 09:15:36 <_sundar_> negril, i have no idea. btw that was dumb idea anyway Aug 23 09:15:53 <_sundar_> sorry, netman87 ^^ Aug 23 09:16:44 no problem. people doing bios flash should atleast work basics so not to reboot so easily after failed flash. Aug 23 09:17:13 ohad: what about just using gparted in Ubuntu and partitioning the card yourself? Aug 23 09:18:24 ohad: create first one 120MB FAT32 and the rest for your rootfs as ext2/3/4. After that just set boot flag for the FAT32 partition. You're done! Aug 23 09:18:25 yegorich: can you direct me how? Aug 23 09:19:44 ohad: what's your host OS? Aug 23 09:19:58 ohad: you just need this peace of software http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ Aug 23 09:20:15 I'm using ubuntu under vmware Aug 23 09:20:16 ohad: you used the script? Aug 23 09:20:28 ohad: it has GUI, so it should not be a problem to work with it Aug 23 09:21:07 ohad: sudo apt-get install gparted Aug 23 09:21:12 av500: yes I did use the script, with little luck. I've also used Trey Weaver's Blog script Aug 23 09:21:19 ohad: after running the script, unmount and remount the card Aug 23 09:21:23 yegorich: I'm trying.... Aug 23 09:21:29 then run sfdisk -l on the /dev/sdX Aug 23 09:21:36 the scripts work Aug 23 09:23:47 av500: I always get error: Device or resource busy Aug 23 09:28:33 ohad: was your card auto-mounted? Aug 23 09:30:45 yegorich: I think I'm done. how do I copy the image there? just unpack? Aug 23 09:31:34 ohad: I'm using something like that: sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt; sudo rm -fr /mnt/*; sudo tar jxfv /home/user/Documents/bootloader/Angstrom-TI-hw-bringup-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2 --numeric-owner -C /mnt; sudo umount /mnt/ Aug 23 09:31:58 ohad: just change device names and image name Aug 23 09:33:08 one moment... Aug 23 09:37:54 yegorich: sdc2=ext2 big partition? Aug 23 09:40:27 ohad: yes, this is your second partition for rootfs Aug 23 09:41:10 ohad: what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc say? Aug 23 09:42:13 lists the partition in /dev/sdc Aug 23 09:42:46 fdisk is the command line utitlit for gparted (i think) Aug 23 09:43:56 yegorich: ok I'm done, connecting to the BB... Aug 23 09:45:43 doesnt work, only D5 always on Aug 23 09:47:02 <_sundar_> what about the files in the FAT32 partition? did you copy the files MLO, uImage, etc and in that order? Aug 23 09:47:26 no... Aug 23 09:47:51 <_sundar_> then you have only prepared the rootfs partition Aug 23 09:48:03 <_sundar_> the boot partition needs to be prepared as well Aug 23 09:48:31 <_sundar_> so copy the files in this order 1. MLO 2. uImage, etc Aug 23 09:48:44 <_sundar_> actually the MLO needs to be copied first Aug 23 09:48:57 <_sundar_> other files can be copied in any order i guess Aug 23 09:49:03 which files to copy? MLO, uImage and what else? Aug 23 09:49:19 <_sundar_> i don't remember. but these should be fine Aug 23 09:49:30 <_sundar_> and some file named boot.scr or user.scr Aug 23 09:49:52 where can I find them? Aug 23 09:49:53 <_sundar_> am not sure whether they are needed for your u-boot version Aug 23 09:50:01 <_sundar_> in angstrom's site Aug 23 09:50:13 <_sundar_> also the file u-boot.bin IIRC Aug 23 09:50:46 <_sundar_> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ Aug 23 09:50:52 yep Aug 23 09:51:01 <_sundar_> there you can find all the above said files Aug 23 09:52:21 I can see MLO, but there is no u-boot.bin (maybe u-boot.img?) Aug 23 09:52:23 and instructions Aug 23 09:52:43 <_sundar_> yeah .img Aug 23 09:52:55 its all explained Aug 23 09:53:11 <_sundar_> see the line > To the Beagleboard Beginner Aug 23 09:53:16 <_sundar_> just follow from there Aug 23 09:54:02 ok, one moment... Aug 23 09:54:34 <_sundar_> in short, wget the files MLO, uImage and u-boot.img from the site. Aug 23 09:54:59 <_sundar_> copy them to the FAT32 partition and boot Aug 23 09:55:14 <_sundar_> cp MLO /media/boot/ Aug 23 09:55:21 <_sundar_> cp uImage /media/boot Aug 23 09:55:28 <_sundar_> cp u-boot.img /media/boot/. Aug 23 09:55:58 <_sundar_> here assuming boot as your mount point of your SD card's FAT32 partition Aug 23 10:04:28 doest it matters that my device name is sdc1 and not boot ( and sdc2 and not rootfs? Aug 23 10:06:37 no Aug 23 10:06:41 the device is sdc Aug 23 10:06:45 the 1st partion is sdc1 Aug 23 10:06:49 the 2nd one is sdc2 Aug 23 10:06:51 etc Aug 23 10:12:34 <_sundar_> if you have named your partition and is mounted you can find it under /media Aug 23 10:12:49 <_sundar_> otherwise it wise to mount it first before you do anything Aug 23 10:14:10 >:( this is what I did: http://pastebin.com/j87bjCWv Aug 23 10:14:45 and still, the BB wont boot! Aug 23 10:14:54 <_sundar_> no Aug 23 10:15:14 <_sundar_> you are doing it all wrong Aug 23 10:15:36 <_sundar_> not all, but the copying of MLO and whatever follows that Aug 23 10:15:42 you need to mount the partition Aug 23 10:15:51 like you mounted sdc2 Aug 23 10:15:59 ok... Aug 23 10:16:12 <_sundar_> so you have to mount with "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt" Aug 23 10:16:26 <_sundar_> then copy the files - sudo cp MLO /mnt Aug 23 10:16:31 <_sundar_> and the others Aug 23 10:16:36 <_sundar_> then unmount /mnt Aug 23 10:17:38 ohad: or just insert the card in Windows, open the first partition and copy files there Aug 23 10:18:00 yegorich: lets try to do all steps with one OS Aug 23 10:19:21 <_sundar_> ohad_, if you are not comfortable working in a unix command line then you better start learning now. it will be necessary for whatever you do on your beagle board once it has booted Aug 23 10:20:17 sundar: I'm starting to get used to it :) Aug 23 10:22:13 av500: O.K. The host I'm compiling the kernel and bootloader is in another room and my main host is running Windows. So it is rather easy for me to mount the folder from the build server and just copy the files under Windows via Total Commander Aug 23 10:27:15 Well I get some more light but still no but. yegorich: when creating the partitions, do both of the needs to be primary? Aug 23 10:32:52 ohad: both are primary Aug 23 10:40:46 yegorich: yes, but he already managed to use linux for the rootfs Aug 23 10:41:25 and one has to be marked "active" Aug 23 10:45:00 ohad: partitions should look like that: http://pastebin.com/bFFvzQpu Aug 23 10:45:07 ohad: please compare Aug 23 10:47:52 yegorich: Besides the numbers, it is the same Aug 23 10:52:43 ohad: O.K. Aug 23 10:53:56 ohad: have you already copied the files as _sundar_ suggested? Aug 23 10:55:19 yegorich: yes Aug 23 10:55:54 ohad: but still no ouput on the console? Aug 23 10:56:38 yegorich: all I get is lefds D5,D6,D7,D12 and D14 on. no output from the HDMI Aug 23 10:57:07 *leds Aug 23 10:58:06 ohad: I'd recommend to connect to the serial console first, otherwise you cannot see what's wrong Aug 23 10:58:42 ohad: what system do you have? BeagleBoard? Aug 23 10:59:03 yegorich:yes. but I do not have the serial cable Aug 23 10:59:52 ohad: that's bad. BeagleBone is much better at this point Aug 23 11:01:07 yegorich: what can I do from this point? Aug 23 11:22:24 yegorich: deost which cable do you need to connect to the beagleboardXM ? Aug 23 11:22:54 you need a usb2serial cable Aug 23 12:08:36 Is there a way to change the ehrpwm clock-source with angstrom from userspace? It is 100Mhz, I would like to change it to 24MHz. Aug 23 12:08:47 ehrpwm is what? Aug 23 12:09:25 yegorich: good news: i formatted it to ext2, and did everything. now I get the beagleboard logo and so bling lights... :) Aug 23 12:09:26 the pwm driver Aug 23 12:16:50 ohad: was ext3 or ext4 before? Aug 23 12:17:54 ohad: then it was u-boot kernel param problem, which has rootfstype configured. Something I'm trying to get rid of, as soon as I get my hands on u-boot source Aug 23 12:19:20 ohad: I specif only rootfs. This way I can format in whatever I want and as long as kernel has suuport for such a file system compiled, there are no problems Aug 23 12:44:07 av500: the clock source seems to be fixed to 100MHz (CORE_CLKOUTM4/2) Aug 23 12:48:52 ic Aug 23 13:07:34 yegorich: it was ext4. i've tried ext3, and I get the angstrom logo(!), but it get stuck at 70%. I'm trying to mount a different build. I didnt understand you comment regarding specif only rootfs, can you explain? Aug 23 13:23:23 ohad: look at this u-boot header: http://arago-project.org/git/projects/?p=u-boot-am33x.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/am335x_evm.h;h=285105e95de7cf245f2b483cc39eaaf47cdd6a63;hb=HEAD Aug 23 13:23:58 ohad: here ext3 will be specified: "mmc_root_fs_type=ext3 rootwait\0" \ Aug 23 13:24:28 ohad: so if you formatted your second partition as ext4, you won't be able to boot Aug 23 13:25:22 hi! i have a question. i install angstrom on beagleboard. but i cant work any command. example: i write testled. - command not found. Can i help me anyone? Please.. Aug 23 13:25:45 ohad: if you remove ext3 and don't specify rootfstype "rootfstype=${mmc_root_fs_type} ip=${ip_method}\0" \ you'll be able to boot from whatever file system your kernel has support for. Aug 23 13:26:51 ohad: see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt in your kernel source tree for details Aug 23 13:27:30 ohad: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=10f3bdd36e328b0bf4f8065e2d650dd8e9fa7976 Aug 23 13:32:45 thank you :) i investige :) Aug 23 13:35:01 yegorich: both beaglebone and beagleboard use ext4 Aug 23 13:36:11 hi! i have a question. i install angstrom on beagleboard. but i cant work any command. example: i write testled. - command not found. Can you help me? Please.. Aug 23 13:37:44 koen: but not in the arago repo Aug 23 13:38:27 koen: I don't use u-boot params at all. I just kernel's ones Aug 23 13:39:06 koen: are you going to update http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/? Aug 23 13:41:51 yegorich: I managed to get things started by I can see that the os is tryting to creating some files and I get an error: read only operating system"... how can I make it not read only? chmod? Aug 23 13:42:25 no Aug 23 13:42:34 thats a sign that something went wrong :( Aug 23 13:43:36 yegorich: go to the angstrom website and read the news posts Aug 23 13:43:45 yegorich: and who the fuck cares about arago? Aug 23 13:44:03 yegorich: ohad asked about beaglebone, not about arago Aug 23 13:44:26 koen: they have at least a working u-boot for am335x, compared to u-boot mainline Aug 23 13:45:24 av500: do you know a working image for the BBXM? Aug 23 13:45:32 yegorich: mainline uboot works on my bone Aug 23 13:46:03 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/ Aug 23 13:46:47 av500: Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2011.1-beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2 ? Aug 23 13:49:35 koen: at least as I started to work on am335x project the stock u-boot couldn't boot uImage from MMC and if I look at http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/am335x_evm.h;h=d0fbc8821482b28f7ef6a941998b4e487b434966;hb=HEAD I don't see any configuration for booting from MMC Aug 23 13:51:34 koen: O.K. support in is ti branch Aug 23 13:56:27 koen: I've got it: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus-updates-we-need-your-feedback Aug 23 13:58:35 av500: do I need to define a username after installing the system? Aug 23 14:00:46 no idea Aug 23 14:03:04 hi Aug 23 14:04:10 I want to install a ipk package. I use this command: ---> opkg install libgthread-2.0-0_2.28.5-r1.9_armv7a.ipk Aug 23 14:04:26 I get this: Aug 23 14:04:28 " * check_data_file_clashes: Package libgthread-2.0-0 wants to install file /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 But that file is already provided by package * libglib-2.0-0 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libgthread-2.0-0. " Aug 23 14:04:43 i tried to remove libgthread-2.0-0 package thinking to install it after.... Aug 23 14:05:20 veneco: well, stop trying to install random packages from the interweb and do 'opkg install libgthread-2.0-0' Aug 23 14:05:22 "opkg remove libgthread-2.0-0" and I get this: "but I get this: ---> "No packages removed. "" Aug 23 14:05:24 that will pick the righ tone Aug 23 14:06:24 koen: I tried to install use 'opkg install libgthread-2.0-0' Aug 23 14:07:22 but I can't do it... i get this: Aug 23 14:07:42 "opkg_download_pkg: Package libgthread-2.0-0 is not available from any configured src. opkg_install_pkg: Failed to download libgthread-2.0-0. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'? opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package libgthread-2.0-0" Aug 23 14:07:51 did you do 'opkg update' ? Aug 23 14:08:57 My first step after install angstrom into my beagle was to use this command: 'opkg update' Aug 23 14:09:24 koen: yes... I do it... I run 'opkg update' command Aug 23 14:11:03 veneco: and you're sure it's not part for libglib-2.0-0 already? Aug 23 14:13:06 koen: I note something, for make a test... I install abiword-plugin-bmp package... and I get this...

Aug 23 14:13:51 but, when I try libgthread-2.0-0 Aug 23 14:14:22 I get this: "opkg_download_pkg: Package libgthread-2.0-0 is not available from any configured src" Aug 23 14:17:26 into /usr/lib I see libgthread-2.0.so, libgthread-2.0.la, libgthread-2.0.la, libgthread-2.0.so.0 and libgthread-2.0.so.0.3000.3 Aug 23 14:20:03 koen: info status from libgthread-2.0.0 is: "Status: install prefer,user not-installed" Aug 23 14:42:43 Hi! Any one try read smart-cards on BeagleBone?! Aug 23 14:49:46 av500: in this link is describes exactly my phenomena (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/beagleboard/YNjba_HOGfU).But I dont understnd - how can I change/access the bootargs? Aug 23 15:01:16 ohad: just change kernel settings either by recompiling u-boot or kernel Aug 23 15:04:05 yegorich: about rootfstype, you mean it's not needed anymore for block devices. Can you remember offhand since which kernel revision? Aug 23 15:04:52 ant_work: I don't know since which version Aug 23 15:05:12 Beside question, what about mtd devices? I can't imagine ubifs detection in kernel... Aug 23 15:05:26 ant_work: but it is really long ago, at least 2.6.26 had no problems Aug 23 15:05:58 ant_work: MTD should be treated differently by specifying rootfstype Aug 23 15:10:52 yegorich: how to recompile? what do I need to do? Aug 23 15:13:12 yegorich: I see. We are developing a kexec-based bootloader and we do specify rootfstype after having detected it Aug 23 15:14:34 ant_work: heh, I read that msg without looking at the name Aug 23 15:14:39 yegorich: afaik there have been issues at the time of ext4 dev Aug 23 15:14:49 ant_work: and I wanted to say "another one, ant_work has already done one" Aug 23 15:14:51 koen: not yet on holida? Aug 23 15:15:00 ant_work: no holiday for me, just moved Aug 23 15:17:44 I'm freeing desk, have to send couple of patches to fight rootfs pollution before flying south Aug 23 15:18:59 In the cpio there is lot of cruft coming from image.bbclass Aug 23 15:21:27 I have yet to catch the offenders installing run-postinsts(.awk), init.d, rcS.d Aug 23 15:40:42 koen: icade core has been sent from NL today.

I'm trying to use the BBXM for the first time. I've managed with the help of this forum do mount the SD device, but while booting I keep getting an error: "line 50 can't create /tmp/uname: Read-only file system" and the booting process stop. Any idea what I need to do? Aug 23 20:30:31 write protect switch in wron position? Aug 23 20:31:50 cant be, I just created the partition, and copied the data Aug 23 20:34:07 I don't understand, It should be somthing that everyone using a BB done atleast once, what am I doing different? Aug 23 20:35:40 any weird boot messages Aug 23 20:35:43 ? Aug 23 20:36:08 only the one I noted. Aug 23 20:40:42 highly technical questions are always a welcome on the #rpi channel - if raspberry pi was a famous person, who would she be? Aug 23 20:46:20 Paris Hilton Aug 23 20:46:46 ohad, no mmc errros? Aug 23 20:47:50 Crofton: my vote was for "Corey Feldman" Aug 23 20:48:09 There are a bunch of errors after, but nothing says mmc spesificly Aug 23 20:49:26 according to the manual (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/) it should have worked, but no matter what image I use, I alway end up with the same error Aug 23 20:49:41 can you pastebin the entire boot log? Aug 23 20:53:57 I cannot get the link through the serial started. I'm using a serial2usb cable and putty. I cannot connect to the device. the output I see is through the HDMI. Aug 23 20:54:09 ah Aug 23 20:54:19 prpplague: fictitious people allowed? Aug 23 20:54:20 we need to see the serial port output to really help Aug 23 20:54:51 mru: seems reasonable Aug 23 20:55:16 I see. I'll get working on it and come back once I have the link up. thanks Aug 23 21:08:02 ugh...

Aug 24 02:06:21 I have a beaglebone where the power led blinks once when I plug it in, and then nothing, doesn't it sound like I fried the board? Aug 24 02:06:54 what makes you think you fried it? Aug 24 02:07:13 the power led used to stay solid Aug 24 02:07:47 did you use a bad/wrong power supply or solder anything to it? Aug 24 02:09:00 no, but I was fiddling with a 9v led circuit using a transistor activated by the beagle board as a switch Aug 24 02:09:42 (which wasn't working, so I was wiring in my multimeter when the beaglebone turned off) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Aug 24 03:00:04 2012
