**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 02 02:59:59 2012 Sep 02 03:58:44 ok, I think this'll be an easy one: I've got a stable beaglebone config that I'd like to back up. I do a sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=./my_backup_file.img Sep 02 03:59:15 pop in a new SD card (already FAT-16 formatted like its predecessor) and sudo dd if=./my_backup_file.img of=/dev/sdb Sep 02 03:59:57 works fine, no errors. but when I insert the newly written card into my Ubuntu machine, I get an error about the Angstrom partition being unmountable; and the beaglebone won't boot Sep 02 04:00:31 am I missing something obvious? do the partitions need to be set up through a separate process? if so: any pointers to docs? Sep 02 04:02:44 are the cards the same size/manufacturer, etc? Sep 02 04:03:07 not strictly necessary, but it helps Sep 02 04:11:11 thurbad: no, the known-to-be-good one is a 4GB and the other a 2GB Sep 02 04:11:31 and different mfgs. hadn't thought of that, hmm... Sep 02 04:11:31 oh.. that definitely won't work Sep 02 04:11:56 new one should be roughly the same size or bigger Sep 02 04:12:05 yeah, stupid of me not to have checked until just now. sticker covered the size. well! 2GB is enough for the part of the FS that's used. any way around this? Sep 02 04:13:32 yeah, you can use tar to backup the rootfs into a tar.gz file and untar it, but you'll have to create the partitions either manulally or using mkcard.txt Sep 02 04:14:10 tar will preserve your symlinks and such Sep 02 04:14:58 dd should have given you an error about records in not matching records out the second time Sep 02 04:21:22 anywhooo... discovered the root of my egl problem, had to specify a context attribute list for es2 Sep 02 04:22:30 thanks thurbad, appreciate the help. 4gb winging its way to me now, we'll see how that goes Sep 02 04:23:09 n/p Sep 02 12:27:56 <_av500_> gm Sep 02 14:50:56 Hello, guys for Linux~ Sep 02 16:23:33 Hello! I'm using BeagleBoard XM and would like to get a acrylic case for the same. I'm not able to find a flexible case which can fit any board of any size. Is there any such case? Sep 02 16:27:18 some sort of bag of holding? Sep 02 16:32:01 maybe specialcomp. they used to sell acrylic cases... probably still do, though they seem a little pricey imo Sep 02 16:32:22 yeah you can get an acrylic case here http://specialcomp.com/beagleboard/xm.htm not sure if that qualifies for your "any board of any size" Sep 02 16:40:13 Not a bag but something which can fit for beaglebone, beaglboard.. flexible, modular casing? Sep 02 16:41:45 probably won't find an acrylic case that fits various form factors for such boards :( Sep 02 16:42:13 the connectors are all in different locations Sep 02 17:07:35 <_av500_> so it has to be a very flexible case Sep 02 17:07:42 <_av500_> recombinant molecules Sep 02 17:08:04 <_av500_> transmorphing technology Sep 02 17:08:24 <_av500_> duct tape Sep 02 18:38:24 _av500_: magic? :) Sep 02 19:08:44 mranostay: he said that already.. three times ;) Sep 02 19:09:40 all hail to the duct tape Sep 02 21:53:18 ugh, so mdp, koen, looks like someone else at TI wrote DT for cpsw and got it into net-next, conflicting with what's in beaglebone-3.6 branch Sep 02 22:22:19 alan_o: heads will roll? :) Sep 02 22:25:13 mranostay: hehe Sep 02 22:25:14 maybe Sep 02 22:36:04 oh nice i forgot to put the 100 megaohm probe on my multimeter Sep 02 22:36:20 so that 300 volt reading was probably 3k volts :).... Sep 02 22:46:13 mranostay: Nice, that sounds like fun Sep 02 22:46:25 what' high voltage project are you working on? Sep 02 22:48:20 alan_o: geiger counter Sep 02 22:49:13 yet another cape actually Sep 02 22:54:28 geiger counter cape, nice :) Sep 02 22:55:10 when you say "yet another," I see people talk about capes on here all the time, but not very many commercially available. Are you going to sell this one? Sep 02 22:55:46 that is the plan **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Sep 03 03:00:00 2012
