Sep 25 04:50:13 IMPOSSIBRU! Sep 25 04:56:33 wb koen Sep 25 04:58:59 koen: so does PWM work in your DT tree currently? Sep 25 05:02:24 holy bat history Sep 25 05:02:32 I just got an email about blob Sep 25 05:03:35 blob? Sep 25 05:03:56 http://www.lartmaker.nl/lartware/blob/ Sep 25 05:04:42 could the dell aero actually be running blob? Sep 25 05:06:14 isn't this one of prpplague's favorite bootloaders? Sep 25 05:06:29 possibly, I don't remember Sep 25 05:06:40 it was the tuxscreen bootloader Sep 25 05:08:04 heh Sep 25 05:10:29 geez, the aero is pxa, it really is running blob Sep 25 06:22:13 oh noes _av500_ Sep 25 06:36:06 mranostay: pwm works, but no sysfs Sep 25 06:45:43 koen: grrrr Sep 25 06:52:32 koen: guess i could fake a backlight entry if i needed :) Sep 25 06:54:34 mranostay: yeah, or write a pwm-sysfs driver, shouldn't be much code Sep 25 06:54:59 mranostay: we should bribe panto do write that :) Sep 25 06:55:14 it is his day job after all :) Sep 25 07:21:42 koen: so is ST7335 broken on the head of your tree? Sep 25 07:24:30 mranostay: it works on my green-tab Sep 25 07:24:41 mranostay: you need to change the dts to say red-tab for yours Sep 25 07:25:47 yeah i did. forgot to run make Sep 25 07:25:50 -ELATE... Sep 25 10:06:20 mranostay: you can try cherry-picking the pwm-test commits Sep 25 11:16:30 av500: was it intention to make the r-pi post non public? Sep 25 11:17:27 er Sep 25 11:17:37 well, shared to relevent circles Sep 25 11:17:39 relevantr Sep 25 11:18:02 you want a public one? Sep 25 11:24:03 nah, I reshared it limited as well Sep 25 11:24:09 I guess the relevant people will read it Sep 25 11:24:18 AND THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! Sep 25 11:40:57 koen, you make a mockery of the people's computer! Sep 25 11:43:26 mdp: does it compute? Sep 25 11:43:34 haters Sep 25 11:43:44 who? Sep 25 11:44:56 koen: g+ has nice circles, but that does not solve the issue of posting embedded stuff and funny cat pictures to disjunt audiences and both to be publicly accessible afterwards Sep 25 11:46:47 wow, ARM is evil: http://opencores.org/articles,1004822682 Sep 25 11:46:52 or it was, 11ys ago :) Sep 25 11:49:37 EVIL! \o/ Sep 25 11:50:02 Hi beagle,i am using am55xevm board,i need to connect wifi how to enable wifi from am335xevm module. Sep 25 11:52:42 LetoThe2nd: lets all switch to Allwinner Sep 25 11:53:01 i used ifconfig wlan0 ip,route add default gw ....,echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.config Sep 25 11:53:01 av500: totally yes. Sep 25 11:54:58 ans pls... Sep 25 11:55:52 siva: well if nobody knows, nobody knows. plus, we are called #beagle, not #am55xevm Sep 25 11:56:59 pls tell me chanel for am335xevm Sep 25 11:57:37 av500, Allwinner *is* the future...that's clear to me Sep 25 11:57:52 siva: no.5, probably. Sep 25 11:58:20 mdp: because they are winning all, right? Sep 25 11:58:47 LetoThe2nd: I'm but a pawn of their cunning marketing talent Sep 25 11:59:15 mdp: hrhr Sep 25 11:59:36 mdp: let's have an impromptu panel on that at ELC-E Sep 25 11:59:45 at some place with beer preferably Sep 25 11:59:56 av500: 8:30, main track room. Sep 25 12:00:22 title "OMAP is fucked" :) Sep 25 12:00:34 if they would use .us-style swill beer advertising, I'd be convinced that buying Allwinner-inside would make me popular in a pub setting surrounded by beautiful ladies Sep 25 12:00:47 av500: does that mean you are going to show omap pr0n? Sep 25 12:00:53 av500, ouch! ;) Sep 25 12:00:58 hot MCU on DSP action! Sep 25 12:01:02 +1 Sep 25 12:01:11 panto: you at ELCE too? Sep 25 12:01:14 yeah Sep 25 12:01:31 panto: nice Sep 25 12:01:36 not presenting, although I'm finishing something that would interest you guys Sep 25 12:01:46 av500, regardless of topic, I can generally be found at panels in the beer venue Sep 25 12:01:53 yeah Sep 25 12:02:03 if only I get the bugs worked out ;) Sep 25 12:02:20 ah, leave that for after the pivot Sep 25 12:02:35 we need to keep that OMAP title with the original punctuation....it was a question.. :P Sep 25 12:02:39 meh, $DEVCONFERENCE now. Sep 25 12:02:54 "AM335x totally perfect?" Sep 25 12:03:10 wait, you're serious? :) Sep 25 12:03:22 nothing of the god-forsaken stuff we do is perfect Sep 25 12:03:24 always, panto, always Sep 25 12:03:37 perfection is a slab of rock on an dusty plain Sep 25 12:03:49 panto, and I *love* wron^H^H^H^Hlittle endian too Sep 25 12:03:52 our stuff is messy and always shall be :) Sep 25 12:04:48 * mdp fires up the taxi..bbiab Sep 25 13:07:20 sakoman, you awake? Sep 25 13:30:57 jkridner_: you said "butt"! Sep 25 13:32:21 indeed he said Sep 25 13:32:32 and you said "crazy shit koen does" Sep 25 13:33:06 guys Sep 25 13:33:10 THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Sep 25 13:36:52 koen: anyone from sdk team on the call? Sep 25 13:37:08 denix, I'm loosely related to that team Sep 25 13:37:16 though somewhat disowned now Sep 25 13:37:42 pary-line eh? Sep 25 13:37:43 that nxp driver requires an epic flag day ground up rewrite Sep 25 13:38:08 mdp: what happened? kevinsc disowned you? Sep 25 13:38:55 I'm on the books for that team...but no longer work on a day-to-day basis with them is what I mean Sep 25 13:41:08 denix, I need another despair.com poster to sum up this situation Sep 25 13:42:13 mdp: don't get me started - I need at least 10 of those... Sep 25 13:42:53 the SO says I shouldn't cover the entire office with them..."you can't work in a sea of negativity" Sep 25 13:42:59 hehe Sep 25 13:51:07 koen: is angstrom w/sysvinit supported anymore, or is it now systemd only? Sep 25 13:52:11 systemd only Sep 25 13:52:25 I keep saying "if someone steps up to maintain sysv, we'll support it" Sep 25 13:52:48 after going from oe-classic to oe-core we have major stability issues, and I wonder which stones to start turning :) Sep 25 13:52:51 ack Sep 25 13:52:57 people quickly run away when seeing the actual state of the sysv scripts Sep 25 13:53:29 thats why you keep devs locked in Sep 25 13:53:36 :) Sep 25 13:55:37 vendor lock-in Sep 25 13:55:51 evil vendor lock-in? Sep 25 13:56:08 angstrom == evilVendor Sep 25 13:56:27 hm. colloquy wants to correct musb to mush. somehow seems appropriate Sep 25 13:56:33 due to "crazy shit koen does" Sep 25 13:57:23 if you call it a community, you can avoid "evil vendor" branding! Sep 25 13:57:33 denix has a mail in his inbox where I call a potential cco tree "evil vendor tree" Sep 25 13:57:46 exactly! :) Sep 25 13:59:18 they set us up the bomb - they vendor us a tree! Sep 25 13:59:37 * av500 goes to train Sep 25 13:59:46 koen, you need a FT community coordinator like the LF/Intel open projects have. Sep 25 14:00:10 FullTrolling Sep 25 14:00:16 :) Sep 25 14:00:20 exactly! Sep 25 14:00:37 hire me Sep 25 14:00:39 the perfect candidate is right under your nose here Sep 25 14:01:02 av500: don't throw yourself under the train! we still need you, a little... :) Sep 25 14:01:25 the competition between av500 and mru could be fierce for this position Sep 25 14:02:05 will they be pulling each others hair? scratching their eyes out? :) Sep 25 14:02:05 denix: no, train to paris :) Sep 25 14:02:10 denix: nah Sep 25 14:02:48 denix, please, no. if we have that, I can think of different candidates to put on that type of show. Sep 25 14:03:08 who?? Sep 25 14:03:12 how to use custom compile kernel in beagleboard xm Sep 25 14:04:06 lol, GPTIMER reference! Sep 25 14:05:23 hello every one, help me, how to boot from custom compile kernel??????????????/ Sep 25 14:05:56 Hello, I am a bit confused about the beaglebone and implementing an RTC. I read about people getting it to work with a DS1307 and DS1337. But others are saying that the beaglebone was not designed to work with an RTC. any clue? Sep 25 14:11:26 it will work with any rtc Sep 25 14:11:41 SeeMikePlay: basically there's nothing contradicting the use of an RTC. you just have to take care of the power buffering yourself. Sep 25 14:11:55 and i thought that bb has it's own internal RTC Sep 25 14:12:04 just like BB Sep 25 14:12:07 it just needs some power Sep 25 14:13:24 how to use 11 GPtimers of beagleboard??? Sep 25 14:14:43 any body know?????????? Sep 25 14:16:05 gptimer12 ftw Sep 25 14:16:21 how? Sep 25 14:16:34 i am newbie in BB and also in linux Sep 25 14:17:19 I am using Angstrom Dist. with 2.6.32 linux kernel Sep 25 14:21:54 does anyone know the ans? Sep 25 14:22:32 yay for 2.6.32! Sep 25 14:22:40 yay Sep 25 14:22:44 Linux jacekowski.org 3.4.3-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 #2 SMP Wed Jun 20 20:14:39 CEST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Sep 25 14:22:51 and that's pretty old kernel i've got Sep 25 14:26:17 .. Sep 25 14:29:02 pkina ao Sep 25 14:39:43 sakoman: any idea if linux-sakoman_3.5.bb has ok pm on beagleboard? perhaps it's time to leave 2.6.39 behind :) Sep 25 14:42:55 does one know is the usb stack in 2.6.29 (mainline) worked on the beagle? Sep 25 14:44:23 try it Sep 25 14:45:42 * tasslehoff thinks mdp answered 2 Q's at once Sep 25 14:45:53 :P Sep 25 15:47:41 So is angstrom latest the best kernel+filesystem to use with this thing? What kernel version does this thing have? Sep 25 15:48:04 define "thing" Sep 25 15:48:14 and define "latest" Sep 25 15:48:21 I'm hoping a recent kernel will make everything work magically, what kernel version does the latest angstrom from git have Sep 25 15:49:10 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom Sep 25 15:52:23 I pretty much want a kernel 3.2.8 or newer with all the beagle patches applied Sep 25 15:55:25 we all hope for magic Sep 25 15:56:06 The first instance of thing would be beagleboard Sep 25 15:57:31 I'm wishing for a beaglebone-3.6 kernel that boots on mainline u-boot. Sep 25 16:21:00 sakoman, you around Sep 25 17:17:15 mdp: is all you want for xmas? Sep 25 17:21:41 mranostay, indeed...this has me stuckified Sep 25 17:22:06 by xmas I won't have a job though ;) Sep 25 17:24:20 If I downloaded kernel 3.5.4 from kernel.org, what would I need to do to get it to work on beagleboard? Sep 25 17:24:26 mdp, mainline u-boot isn't enough for your christmas list? you have to have mainline kernel, too? :) Sep 25 17:24:42 HeadAche: a big pile of patches Sep 25 17:24:50 Where would I get these patches Sep 25 17:25:01 they don't exist against 3.5.4 Sep 25 17:25:19 bah..I read beaglebone..nm Sep 25 17:25:29 * mdp gets more coffee Sep 25 17:25:35 beagleboard-xM will work fine? Sep 25 17:25:40 * HeadAche hopes Sep 25 17:25:43 HeadAche: maybe...mostly Sep 25 17:25:49 don't ever count on usb Sep 25 17:26:15 I need omap3isp, mt9p031 driver, and omapdss/lcd display to work Sep 25 17:26:25 panto might know current status Sep 25 17:26:41 mdp: yeah btw your usb stick inserted shuts up that damn musb driver Sep 25 17:27:10 * mranostay waves fist at his former employer :) Sep 25 17:27:20 mranostay, that's why I have a usb stick permanently thrust into the beaglebone's jaws. Sep 25 17:27:42 HeadAche, it's supposed to work Sep 25 17:27:58 that's good enough for me...ship it! Sep 25 17:28:11 geez panto last words much? :) Sep 25 17:28:27 HeadAche, https://github.com/pantoniou/linux-bbxm bbxm-mainline-fixes branch Sep 25 17:28:40 * panto needs to look into xm Sep 25 17:28:59 HeadAche, the patches are minimal Sep 25 17:29:03 on top of mainline that is Sep 25 17:30:27 mdp: what is up with that driver or can we blame hw? Sep 25 17:30:42 no longer my department, I don't know Sep 25 17:31:48 panto, those worked for me when I had to do some regression testing recently... Sep 25 17:32:07 panto, thx Sep 25 17:33:05 thx panto, I think thats exactly what I need Sep 25 18:33:12 anyone know the status of supporting the bone RS232 cape with u-boot outside of mainline u-boot? I'm working on it, have patches, but if there's existing code, I'd love to look at it as I have 1 or 2 hacks that make me cringe. Sep 25 18:34:17 bradfa: it isn't already? Sep 25 18:34:38 mranostay, have you tried using UART1,2,4,5 ? Sep 25 18:35:00 as far as I can tell, u-boot mainline only supports using UART0 Sep 25 18:35:11 no just the crappy FTDI Sep 25 18:35:24 bradfa, I had an unvoiced complaint about the same thing Sep 25 18:35:42 nobody likes that FTDI chip do they? :) Sep 25 18:35:44 but I don't use the real cape...just a nest of wires to a max232 Sep 25 18:35:47 mdp, I have patches! for the mainlines!!11!!!eleven!!! Sep 25 18:35:49 mranostay, no! Sep 25 18:35:58 bradfa, 11!!!! Sep 25 18:36:02 mdp: i don't use the JTAG from it either :) Sep 25 18:36:04 PM me! Sep 25 18:36:38 bradfa, would be awesome to have something sane submitted to u-boot Sep 25 18:36:47 in the works Sep 25 18:36:58 if I could figure out how to use irc, my life would be easier, too Sep 25 18:37:54 I have working CONFIG_SERIAL_MULTI, tested UART0,1,2 so far, 4 & 5 next Sep 25 18:38:30 just have to format things so my patches make sense and use useful commit comments (ie: not my current commit comment like WORKS! NOW SOME SQUASHING AND REORDERING IS NEEDED!) Sep 25 18:39:19 bradfa, I eagerly await your posting and Tartarus' prompt attention ;) Sep 25 18:39:49 bradfa, are you really a h/w guy? hence the IRC problems? Sep 25 18:40:07 heh, I have one strange hack I had to do for eserial support, it's ugly and I'm sure I'll get flamed on the u-boot list, none the least because this will be my first patch to that list (first mail, actually) Sep 25 18:40:21 I'm like the bad parts of a hw guy and a sw guy put together :) Sep 25 18:40:40 I know enough C and hardware words that I can make complete sentences as an embedded engineer :) Sep 25 18:41:06 I heard yesterday here that h/w guys can't operate IRC...so just saying...I believe everything I hear on this channel. Sep 25 18:41:28 * bradfa needs more Volts and Amps, less #defines Sep 25 18:41:58 bradfa, I mostly just flip bits until they line up and copy C code from professional programmers. Sep 25 18:42:09 foss++ Sep 25 18:42:42 mdp: be nice :) Sep 25 18:42:43 hmmm spl likes uart4, u-boot doesn't... Sep 25 18:44:11 mranostay, ok, ok, I *bitbang*, I admit it. Sep 25 18:55:35 you're bitbanging u-boot? Sep 25 18:56:56 it brings me joy Sep 25 18:57:48 koen, saner uio_pruss patches are imminent, fwiw Sep 25 18:57:55 just my rfc series Sep 25 18:58:24 uart0,1,2 all work nicely, uart4,5 work in the SPL but not in u-boot proper... :( Sep 25 18:58:38 * bradfa goes for a walk instead of debugging... Sep 25 18:58:56 bradfa, uart0,1,2 ought to be enough for anyone. Sep 25 18:59:46 mdp, SPL is good enough, right? Sep 25 18:59:53 at least I know I got the mux right and the clocks all on Sep 25 18:59:54 yup Sep 25 19:00:16 SPL was the hard part, I expected Sep 25 19:00:29 linux .96pl3 was good enough for me too Sep 25 19:05:30 old timers Sep 25 19:10:48 young whipporsnappers Sep 25 19:22:43 mranostay, 3MB of RAM was not good enough for anybody's kernel compile though :( Sep 25 19:23:43 mdp: took a day to build? :) Sep 25 19:25:05 13 hours iirc, swapping like crazy to the huge 44MB HDD Sep 25 19:25:20 djlewis, whippersnappers, indeed! Sep 25 19:26:47 koen, I note that your patch script is creating all the checkpointing tags as foo-rc6 on the -rc7 kernel... Sep 25 19:27:43 ah right, need to update that Sep 25 19:28:13 fix pushed Sep 25 19:28:19 ok, thx Sep 25 19:29:37 I'm glad I no longer need gpmc support for my project Sep 25 19:29:52 koen, trying to understand what patch.sh is doing. why do you have 2 branches? Sep 25 19:29:58 * koen heads down to watch hawaii five-0 Sep 25 19:29:59 didn't follow the comment "we are pulling the external tree into 1st branch, and checkout the SHA into a 2nd" Sep 25 19:30:28 joelagnel: do you need to understand that to add your patches? Sep 25 19:30:45 (rhetorical question, don't answer) Sep 25 19:31:30 hmm Sep 25 19:32:15 koen, he's going to be stuck first on the lack of dmaengine cyclic support and the cooresponding mcasp driver enablement Sep 25 19:32:24 but we've discussed that already Sep 25 19:40:14 mdp, do you know patch.sh enough to help me understand why it does things that way? :) just looking at it for the first time. Sep 25 19:43:04 :) Sep 25 19:48:36 copy-paste error most likely my uart4,5 problem! Sep 25 19:51:07 yey! uart0,1,2,4,5 all work on bone in u-boot! patch mailing will probably wait till tomorrow morning Sep 25 19:57:47 while the community hopes bradfa doesnt have a brainfart and forget all about this by morning ;) Sep 25 19:58:10 djlewis, that's what github and branches are for ;) https://github.com/bradfa/u-boot/commits/uart-squash Sep 25 19:58:43 there's a logical order to all that which I need to break out, but I don't know what it is now, so no chance I'll forget by tomorrow :) Sep 25 19:58:54 touches a few things beyond just am33xx code Sep 25 20:00:29 koen, I guess my question is why do the same thing twice. git checkout tag / git pull master , vs git checkout sha Sep 25 20:00:58 anyway. Sep 25 20:26:50 joelagnel: nope, I didn't care enough about that detail. all I cared to know is it grabs the latest -rc? release, and applies the named directories full of patches onto a branch containing that baseline Sep 25 20:27:05 it tags a checkpoint stamp in between each directory of stuff Sep 25 20:27:29 and in general it makes me very smiley happy that I don't have to maintain it myself Sep 25 20:28:07 Is there a defconfig that goes with https://github.com/pantoniou/linux-bbxm? Sep 25 20:30:26 joelagnel, then I rebase my work against whatever 30 different maintainer trees is necessary to submit. Sep 25 20:33:34 mdp, thanks, makes sense. Sep 25 20:33:53 Guess I should create a new branch as tmp-patching-branch-sha is blown away every run Sep 25 20:34:27 joelagnel, you add whatever maintainer tree as a remote then you can make a branch and just cherry-pick stuff from your devel branch..fixing conflicts Sep 25 20:35:05 sure Sep 25 20:35:13 joelagnel, branches are free, use them like crazy Sep 25 20:36:08 like a monkey jumping from branch to branch? :) Sep 25 20:36:16 guess i've to get upto speed with DT too Sep 25 20:36:21 anything I post has the working branch pushed up to github so there's real context as to where the patches were pulled from Sep 25 20:36:38 mdp, ahh Sep 25 20:36:41 joelagnel, yes, like a patch monkey Sep 25 20:37:06 joelagnel, just know this, DT fixes everything...you should be good Sep 25 20:37:59 mdp, sure Sep 25 20:39:48 joelagnel, other good thing is that it's a tree that anybody here can just use. I've had people using my WIP fugly but functional dmaengine am335x support for weeks before it was in shape to be an RFC post Sep 25 20:41:02 only thing I would like to see be better is having classes of patches annotated as to their status... Sep 25 20:42:23 mdp, yep, sounds like the right way to do things Sep 25 20:42:40 joelagenl, my initial WIP uio_pruss hacks are in the tree and it would be nice if they were marked, "POS! expect the cleaner RFC series RSN" Sep 25 20:43:07 atleast mmc, i2c and usb host are working. pretty much all i mostly care about for now Sep 25 20:43:21 or "Accepted into tony's devel-dt/benoit's for_3.7/dts" etc Sep 25 20:43:23 mmc2 still untested Sep 25 20:43:50 which mmc2? Sep 25 20:44:12 the TRM-named mmc2 or linux/hwmod/DT's mmc2? Sep 25 20:45:54 the second mmc slot Sep 25 20:46:09 *interface Sep 25 20:48:03 well, MMC2 or MMCHS2 as it's called differently in the TRM is the 3rd instance Sep 25 20:48:14 it's unsupported Sep 25 20:48:15 so I guess that's mmc1 for the kernel Sep 25 20:48:34 mmc3 for the kernel on mainline Sep 25 20:48:44 it's quite intuitive ;) Sep 25 20:49:03 this is one of my pet projects...fixing these wrong things Sep 25 20:49:11 it started with seeing this on gpio Sep 25 20:50:24 am I in for some fun? :) Sep 25 20:50:55 tons Sep 25 20:51:03 and it's all *free* Sep 25 20:53:59 in soviet russia, fun has you Sep 25 20:54:04 heh Sep 25 20:56:00 angstrom us running 3.2.18, thats good :D Sep 25 20:58:11 HeadAche: 3.2.18 is 50 in Linux years Sep 25 20:58:18 :) Sep 25 20:58:46 joelagnel: "What works? Well, with this series we now have MMC and SPI support on AM33xx. The only caveat for MMC is that the mmc3 controller has its events on the crossbar and is not usable right now." Sep 25 20:59:09 joelagnel, from the rfc series...but mmc3 refers to the 1-based dts data :( Sep 25 21:10:40 mranostay: were you using some hack for remote bone reset? Sep 25 21:12:31 mdp, that is a bit confusing Sep 25 21:12:42 will take a look at the dts data Sep 25 21:12:59 I thought so, I started submitting patches to address it Sep 25 21:13:02 gpio Sep 25 21:13:07 then panto has done i2c Sep 25 21:13:09 to linux-omap? Sep 25 21:13:19 where else? ;) Sep 25 21:13:27 sure ok :) Sep 25 21:13:29 those will go in Sep 25 21:14:17 it's a legacy thing...when everything was based on hwmod instances there was an assumption coded that 0 was invalid since OMAP starts naming of all instances at 1 Sep 25 21:14:33 that's limitation has gone away and since am335x is 0-based we just have to fix it Sep 25 21:14:50 bbl Sep 25 21:15:02 sure, have a good one Sep 25 21:15:03 thanks Sep 25 21:55:40 mdp: relay soldered for a bit Sep 25 21:56:13 could have used the SYS_RESET pin on the header probably Sep 25 22:18:21 mranostay, yes, good point...that works well Sep 25 22:19:13 now that I'm going real work on it, removing the hands from kbd was getting annoying Sep 25 22:19:18 s/going/doing Sep 25 22:28:34 hmmm Sep 25 22:32:53 whazzup ds2? Sep 25 22:36:59 nothing much Sep 25 22:37:06 word Sep 25 22:37:06 u still in the oven? Sep 25 22:37:12 Pretty much Sep 25 22:37:19 It's cooling down a bit though. Sep 25 22:37:28 Only 101F today. Sep 25 22:37:35 *cough* Sep 25 22:38:03 Current big fun is they're repaving our streets today. Surrounded by heavy equipment since 6:30AM Sep 25 22:38:33 4000vpm vibratory rollers shaking the dishes and rattling the wall hangings. Sep 25 22:38:43 that is what happens @ my house tommorrow. Sep 25 22:38:55 The cats are not amused. Sep 25 22:39:23 is the tar steaming hot? Sep 25 22:39:43 Yeah - I ran outside with my IR thermometer to see: 280F!!! Sep 25 22:40:15 * djlewis would love to have his road paved. Sep 25 22:40:27 dust is murder on my telescope optics Sep 25 22:40:33 no doubt. Sep 25 22:41:21 hi emeb its been another long while. Sep 25 22:41:40 Hi djlewis - what's new in AR? Sep 25 22:42:00 got over our heat wave about 1 week back Sep 25 22:42:03 Managed to avoid any big hurricanes this year. Sep 25 22:42:25 I was hoping for the last hurricane to track across us and it did. Sep 25 22:42:29 we were in drought Sep 25 22:42:39 soak things down a bit? Sep 25 22:42:56 not much but it changed the weather pattern for us and we finally got good rains Sep 25 22:43:23 that's nice. We had a big more rain during monsoon this year than in the recent past. Sep 25 22:43:26 all these midwest states were pretty much dried up. Sep 25 22:43:44 So the rain stopped there and for got us Sep 25 22:43:50 yeah - been reading all about the impact that's had on farmers. Sep 25 22:44:03 price of bacon going up, etc. Sep 25 22:44:05 and fires breaking out everywhere. Sep 25 22:44:16 leaving rural as I do that is not a good thing Sep 25 22:44:19 cows being fed expired candy & cookies instead of corn. Sep 25 22:44:31 I wanna be a cos Sep 25 22:44:33 cow Sep 25 22:44:53 I hear they have good healthcare. Up until that last day. Sep 25 22:45:09 yeah, the corn crops had to be plowed over, wasted Sep 25 22:45:35 if you like living off antibiotics Sep 25 22:45:44 yummm! Sep 25 22:45:47 now I dont want to be a cow. Sep 25 22:46:03 eat one instead. Sep 25 22:46:17 cook off the antibiotics Sep 25 22:47:48 ka6sox-away: no news on the PCB yet. Sep 25 22:48:00 still haven't ordered my parts. Sep 25 22:48:13 need to take stock and do that soon I expect. Sep 25 22:53:46 ya, I'd want to hear we have boards shipped I think Sep 25 22:54:21 I'll be ready to fire up the oven when things arrive Sep 25 23:06:11 later . . . Sep 26 00:12:01 Are there student discounts on teh Beaglebone Sep 26 00:16:42 no. Sep 26 00:37:26 i want to control this http://learn.adafruit.com/digital-led-strip/overview with the beaglebone, do i need to use /sys/class/spi_master or must i use ioctl with the /dev/spidev2.0 Sep 26 00:37:58 er Sep 26 00:39:38 fester: you can do it from userspace, but a nice LED class driver would be better Sep 26 00:39:48 fester: iirc there is already one for the LPD8806 Sep 26 00:40:32 prpplague: i believe there is one for the arduino, but not for the beagle Sep 26 00:41:01 fester: there for linux Sep 26 00:41:12 do you have a link? Sep 26 00:42:02 not off the top of my head, but i am sure that google can help Sep 26 00:42:13 fester: what is it your are trying to do with the led strip? Sep 26 00:43:19 fester: http://elinux.org/images/0/0a/0001-LEDS-add-initial-support-for-WS2801-controller-Beagl.patch Sep 26 00:44:11 fester: the LPD8806 is basically the same as the ws2801 Sep 26 00:44:22 fester: there are a number of linux drivers available for that Sep 26 00:46:36 prpplague: nothing special yet, i just want to light it Sep 26 00:47:12 fester: then you should be able to use the ws2801 driver as a bit bang example Sep 26 00:47:19 fester: or tweak it for full spi Sep 26 00:52:51 fester: i have some documentation on how to bitbang some of the interface with the ws2801 and compatibles here - http://elinux.org/BeaconBoard Sep 26 00:53:45 thank you Sep 26 00:58:31 prpplague: i'm not seeing it, actually Sep 26 00:59:14 fester: no seeing what? Sep 26 00:59:35 oh, in the patches Sep 26 00:59:43 i was looking for references Sep 26 01:39:48
