Dec 30 06:14:23 Im trying to find out about how the two ethernet ports on teh AM3359 can work Dec 30 06:14:36 two? Dec 30 06:14:41 yup. Dec 30 06:15:00 mph_: was it using the PRU? Dec 30 06:15:00 the chipset has two ports and an ethernet switch Dec 30 06:15:25 i belive so Dec 30 06:15:30 but this is competely new to me Dec 30 06:16:23 funny, how once you et started with these things, you keep finding more things you can do with them. Dec 30 06:16:56 yeah like the PRU :) Dec 30 06:17:48 id like to learn about ethercat Dec 30 06:19:02 i just ordered a couple of other TI dev boards Dec 30 06:19:13 since they had them ( and the beagles ) at 25% off Dec 30 06:19:14 mph_: work in automated systems? Dec 30 06:19:35 lighting control Dec 30 06:19:39 specifically Dec 30 06:20:01 but that now includes a lot of motion control Dec 30 06:20:54 i've found the beagle to be really a nice wee thing to play with Dec 30 06:26:22 mranostry, do you work in industrial control Dec 30 06:26:47 no i work in networking atm Dec 30 06:26:56 oh.. i used to do that for a living Dec 30 06:27:02 for 20 years Dec 30 06:27:03 mostly embedded stuff professional Dec 30 06:27:32 telco stuff Dec 30 06:27:53 MPLS, and WDM networks stuff Dec 30 06:27:58 but got bored Dec 30 06:28:17 yeah i only have working knowledge of those Dec 30 06:29:34 for the last 2 years, i've been building lighting control systems Dec 30 06:29:44 mph_: is the second ethernet exposed on the pin expansion? Dec 30 06:29:48 * mranostay checks the SRM Dec 30 06:29:55 not on the beagle :-( Dec 30 06:30:06 of course they don't document the PRU much even :) Dec 30 06:32:30 http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdxice3359 Dec 30 06:33:28 so does ethercat use the same signaling only adding another header before the ethernet frame? Dec 30 06:34:06 mph_: $10 more than a bone not bad Dec 30 06:34:11 im still getting to grips with it all Dec 30 06:34:17 they are 25% off right now Dec 30 06:34:25 and bones are as well Dec 30 06:34:45 i have too many of them :) Dec 30 06:34:49 :-) Dec 30 06:34:55 i just bought another 12 Dec 30 06:34:59 at 25% off Dec 30 06:35:00 don't have that many Dec 30 06:35:04 just 3 Dec 30 06:35:07 i wont' ahve that many shortly Dec 30 06:35:10 and one dead one Dec 30 06:35:23 i'm putting 8 of them into a job Dec 30 06:36:39 does'nt look like its very easy to get linux to run on that ICE thing though Dec 30 06:36:52 threres a long thread in the TI forum Dec 30 06:39:01 ah Dec 30 06:39:17 if it is am335x it should just work.. Dec 30 06:39:24 lol.. Dec 30 06:39:34 i also ordered 1 of these Dec 30 06:39:35 http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdssk3358 Dec 30 06:40:24 * Russ looks over at his evmsk next to the keyboard Dec 30 06:41:43 what's this about a 25% discount on bones? Dec 30 06:41:48 hi Russ-o Dec 30 06:41:56 hey Dec 30 06:45:05 oh oh soviet era driver ICs Dec 30 06:45:27 cue obligatory soviet russia jokes Dec 30 06:46:13 in soviet russit circuits drive you? Dec 30 06:46:32 that's the first one that comes to mind Dec 30 06:47:00 or "...circuits integrate you", etc. Dec 30 06:51:00 bone on sale ordered. thx for the heads-up. Dec 30 06:51:02 * mranostay pulls out the ARRL question pool Dec 30 06:51:13 going for a ham license? Dec 30 06:51:18 yeah Dec 30 06:52:31 Looks like my tech+ is up for renewal in a couple years. Dec 30 06:53:27 the band questions are probably the hardest.. everything else is basic EE classes Dec 30 06:53:44 Anyone ever encounter their beagleboard getting stuck on "booting the kernel" Dec 30 06:53:47 ? Dec 30 06:54:04 hello mr vague Dec 30 06:54:10 if you've got a bad kernel or a bad SD card Dec 30 06:54:36 cykon: 'custom' kernel or the SD card that came with the board? Dec 30 06:54:49 Well, I got the kernel from Narcissus Dec 30 06:54:59 emeb: this section on SSB vs AM is interesting Dec 30 06:55:10 It literally loads up and stops dead at "booting the kernel" Dec 30 06:55:27 i always though in AM the reciever generated the carrier frequency to tune too Dec 30 06:56:20 it can, but doesn't need to Dec 30 06:56:56 the AM signal never inverts, so you can just use a simple rectifier to get the baseband. Dec 30 06:58:24 there are so-called synchronous AM receivers that lock on to the carrier and provide somewhat better demodulation for weak signals - you'll see that often in SWL applications. Dec 30 07:02:51 not a RF expert .. yet :) Dec 30 07:04:14 cykon, did you see what you are passing as console? Dec 30 07:07:49 Yeah, I've found a few people with similar problems but none of the solutions have worked thus far -- here's my env variables + serial output incase you see anything i'm overlooking http://pastebin.com/N8xEdRG i'm overlooking Dec 30 07:11:52 emeb: AM has a USB and LSB right? Dec 30 07:15:46 mranostay: yeah - and they're identical / mirror images of eachother. Dec 30 07:17:45 ah Dec 30 07:21:01 emeb: this moonbounce stuff seems cool as well :) Dec 30 07:21:16 now there's an expensive hobby! Dec 30 07:21:30 heh yeah Dec 30 07:21:42 You should do a google image search of the enormous antenna arrays those guys build. Dec 30 07:22:13 1) my apartment complex would go apeshit 2) i like actually meeting people of the opposite sex :) Dec 30 07:23:41 i'm sure a satelite dish would push it :) Dec 30 07:23:43 Moonbounce....In an Apartment????? Dec 30 07:24:12 ka6sox: my point :) Dec 30 07:24:41 if i could afford a house in CA i wouldn't be interested in that. catch-22 :) Dec 30 07:25:47 http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=1400&c=&f=q&hl=en&q=36.3942+-121.6370&layer=&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=18&ll=36.402948,-121.646885&spn=0.003057,0.007167&t=h Dec 30 07:25:52 use that dish Dec 30 07:26:01 its close...only an hour or 2 Dec 30 07:26:39 nice Dec 30 07:27:52 ka6sox: coming to ELC? Dec 30 07:28:18 if I can find a cheap enough place to stay! Dec 30 07:28:57 mranostay, even though I met my future wife @ Field Day...I doubt she would let me have that dish in the backyard. Dec 30 07:29:06 hostel next door :P Dec 30 07:29:15 we should all get a private dorm :P Dec 30 07:29:20 in the Tenderloin???? Dec 30 07:29:39 it is on the same block Dec 30 07:30:14 I may have to stay in San Jose... Dec 30 07:30:27 why? it isn't much cheaper Dec 30 07:30:57 family Dec 30 07:31:02 ah Dec 30 07:32:15 going to be expensive no matter how I do it Dec 30 07:32:25 fly to SFO, Fly to LAX Dec 30 07:32:42 $300 ticket at most? Dec 30 07:33:15 * mranostay forgets he is single and can spend 90% of his paycheck on himself though :) Dec 30 07:33:17 unknown paste id Dec 30 07:33:30 oh? Dec 30 07:34:05 http://pastebin.com/9xDH3xVG Dec 30 07:35:50 'On Linux kernels version 2.6.36 and newer, use ttyO2 instead of ttyS2 (that's capital-O, not zero).' Dec 30 07:36:06 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Kernel_-_Common_Problems_Booting_Linux Dec 30 07:36:21 Yeah I read that, I think I have 2.6.32 Dec 30 07:36:38 why not try a recent, known working kernel Dec 30 07:37:02 Because... that would make sense! Dec 30 07:37:11 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners Dec 30 07:37:20 I was honestly just using the ones in the angstrom repo because I figured it'd work, but I guess I can build my own Dec 30 07:37:44 don't build your own yet Dec 30 07:37:52 oh, ok Dec 30 07:37:53 start with the images recommended on http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardBeginners Dec 30 07:38:26 Yeah, the confusing part from that is in the demo repo, there's no u-boot.bin Dec 30 07:38:29 only u-boot.img Dec 30 07:39:22 "Get the latest Ångström demo image (Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image......), MLO, u-boot.bin and uImage." Dec 30 07:40:51 mranostay, try $400 Dec 30 07:40:57 for EACH leg Dec 30 07:41:05 you can use the .img on the sd card Dec 30 07:41:08 bad timing Dec 30 07:41:30 I can fly for $185...if I want to take 12hr20minutes to get there. Dec 30 07:41:55 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardNAND if you want to put it on nand Dec 30 07:42:25 or is there no difference, I don't remember right now Dec 30 07:43:02 I think the .img has an extra header Dec 30 07:43:31 I tried this before and it didn't work but i'll do it again in case I messed something up -- but I should be able to follow the guide with the .img file Dec 30 07:43:31 right? Dec 30 07:43:49 for sd? Dec 30 07:44:17 yes Dec 30 07:44:19 yes Dec 30 07:44:25 gtg, may the google be with you Dec 30 07:44:37 ok ill give it a go, gimme a few to reformat my sd card and such Dec 30 07:44:50 gg Dec 30 07:44:50 later Dec 30 07:44:51 mranostay, new plan...I'll do the same thing I did Last Year... Dec 30 07:45:23 (although last years destination was more fun) Dec 30 07:46:05 drive to SFO, go to ELC, Fly RT to destination, drive home. Dec 30 07:47:32 the question is whether we can coax emeb to ELC Dec 30 07:48:36 offer free beer Dec 30 07:48:47 rrright Dec 30 07:49:10 * ka6sox may just bag SCaLE and go to his deserted island again.... Dec 30 07:49:50 oh, wait...I may be speaking there....rats...can't just bag it. Dec 30 07:50:09 i am so going to be annoyed if i had to take vacation time to give a talk again Dec 30 07:50:22 by annoyed i mean quit :) Dec 30 07:52:00 its going to be a bad night...I took a nap from 5pm-10pm... Dec 30 07:52:20 ah bad ka6sox Dec 30 07:52:29 so up to 3a? Dec 30 07:52:59 I'm making progress on this kernel...think I finally have it sorted, Dec 30 07:53:17 now to see if it blows up the Bone Dec 30 07:53:28 up in smoke? Dec 30 07:53:50 ka6sox: so is SCaLE more of hobbyist thing? Dec 30 07:54:06 mranostay, its a mix Dec 30 07:55:05 Vendors have to know that they are going to be talking to folks who have NEVER heard of this "Linux Thing" before to seasoned vets. Dec 30 07:55:24 its a truely home grown show Dec 30 07:55:58 ah reminds me of the Ohio LinuxFest Dec 30 07:56:09 runs the gambit but more hobbyist Dec 30 07:56:27 less hobbyist as it goes on Dec 30 07:56:40 the quality of the papers is pretty good. Dec 30 07:57:04 when is it? CFP done? Dec 30 07:58:06 CFP is over and I think they have sent out acceptances. Dec 30 07:58:38 I wish I had something for ELC but I tend to be doing more Community Stuff these days. Dec 30 07:59:21 ka6sox: bah submit something Dec 30 07:59:32 most fun thing I'm working with is LibHybris... Dec 30 07:59:36 i suggest a bitbanging BoF Dec 30 08:01:01 if I had more time to work on the FPGA Cape I'd want to talk about reconfigurable computing...but for that I would need to spend the next 5 days finishing up this project (and that would not sit well with my Wife) Dec 30 08:01:58 I soooo want a Zedboard... Dec 30 08:02:29 but Santa didn't bring one this year... Dec 30 08:03:25 mranostay, more than a few of us in this channel have had no OPTION but to bitbang things. Dec 30 08:03:33 kinky Dec 30 08:03:52 ka6sox: well my "nixie" cape is all bitbanging :) Dec 30 08:05:13 i've coded more assembly for that than i've done ever :) Dec 30 08:05:28 for SLOW peripherals it is the only way to get the speed DOWN. Dec 30 08:06:36 ka6sox: well it is more anything would make this thing flicker :) Dec 30 08:06:48 have you see my demo video? Dec 30 08:07:11 no, not yet...Got Link? Dec 30 08:08:06 http://elinux.org/BeagleBone/PrussDemoSubmission Dec 30 08:09:54 this is for ELC? or ? Dec 30 08:10:05 yeah Dec 30 08:10:23 submitted two for ECL Dec 30 08:10:25 *ELC Dec 30 08:16:24 this other project I"ve been working on has kept me wrapped up more than I thought.
