**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 28 02:59:58 2013 Jul 28 03:00:04 cool i'll put deb on there tonight Jul 28 03:00:13 going to use my beagle to power a laser scanning 3d printer i'm building Jul 28 03:00:37 emeb_mac: i'm getting the BBB files converted to Eagle. then i can more easily build up a system Jul 28 03:00:45 based on the bb, but more to my liking Jul 28 03:01:01 what are teh BBB files now? KiCad? Jul 28 03:01:10 Orcad Jul 28 03:01:13 ah Jul 28 03:01:39 loving my beagle (just got it). Loads better than my pi's Jul 28 03:01:50 off to put debian on Jul 28 03:02:44 mrpackethead: all of the deb images i see for BBB use the 3.8 kernel Jul 28 03:02:57 yes. Jul 28 03:03:32 what are the audio issues? Jul 28 03:03:40 its not a beagle problem Jul 28 03:03:47 its a linux kernel issue Jul 28 03:03:57 that's fine, but do you know what the issues are? Jul 28 03:04:15 yes Jul 28 03:04:19 ALSA did'tn work very well Jul 28 03:04:36 google 3.8 kernel, jackd Jul 28 03:04:38 you'll find it Jul 28 03:05:13 hmm wondering if that will cause me problems Jul 28 03:05:15 suggest you run with Robert nelsons build Jul 28 03:05:29 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black Jul 28 03:05:39 the installer is pretty minimal Jul 28 03:05:42 but it works well Jul 28 03:05:47 thanks for the link Jul 28 03:05:47 then you can install what you want after that Jul 28 03:06:28 anybody know what to put in uEnv.txt on the sdcard to get it to boot from the mmc (bbb)? Jul 28 03:07:01 thanks mrpackethead huge help, i'm getting off to but into linux to load it up Jul 28 03:07:20 do you have a linux host to work with? Jul 28 03:07:22 if you do Jul 28 03:07:26 just download that image Jul 28 03:07:32 and dd it onto a sd-card Jul 28 03:07:34 easy Jul 28 03:07:39 drop it in the beagle Jul 28 03:07:40 and reboot Jul 28 03:08:14 unfortunately I don't have a good way of writing an sd-card Jul 28 03:08:37 glucose: taht was for beardface Jul 28 03:08:54 mrpackethead:ah, sry Jul 28 03:14:36 glucose have you tried specifying the rootfs? Jul 28 03:15:19 glucose: just delete the MLO file Jul 28 03:16:30 wmat: I don't have a MLO file on my sdcard Jul 28 03:16:43 glucose Jul 28 03:16:43 he means off the emmc I think Jul 28 03:16:45 mmcdev=1 Jul 28 03:16:45 bootpart=1:2 Jul 28 03:16:45 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro Jul 28 03:16:57 will boot eMMC while sd card is inserted Jul 28 03:16:58 ah Jul 28 03:17:02 m_billybob: that looks about right Jul 28 03:17:09 * wmat was thinking sd card Jul 28 03:17:14 m_billybob: I'll try and report back Jul 28 03:17:52 hows everyone tonight Jul 28 03:18:02 wait, isn't MMC boot the default? Jul 28 03:18:14 mrpacket seems to have a cold, bhow about evryone else ? Jul 28 03:18:20 emmc is the default Jul 28 03:18:24 yup Jul 28 03:18:30 wmat: I suppose so, but whenever I put in my sdcard, it wants to boot from there everytime Jul 28 03:18:42 if you insert an SD without that in uEnv.txt the bbb will hang Jul 28 03:18:57 m_billybob: thats what is happening Jul 28 03:19:07 glucose: then your MMC isn't flashed with anything Jul 28 03:19:16 wmat: agreed Jul 28 03:19:39 glucose you have a debug cable / module ? Jul 28 03:19:45 read the uboot message log Jul 28 03:19:46 wmat: I just got a bbb this week, and I'm playing with it for the first time, but have no way of getting an image on the sdcard Jul 28 03:19:51 m_billybob: nope Jul 28 03:20:10 glucose: why? Jul 28 03:20:11 m_billybob: I'm gonna put those bits on the sdcard and pray Jul 28 03:20:21 glucose with those params in uEnv.txt it should boot fine with an SD cardinseted Jul 28 03:20:29 asuming you have something on the eMMC to boot from Jul 28 03:20:42 m_billybob: yep, its got default angstrom Jul 28 03:20:59 m_billybob: I'm gonna use that to get arch on the sdcard Jul 28 03:21:21 cant help there but i do know arch works on the BBB, well atleast ive been told Jul 28 03:21:27 glucose: i thought you said it doesn't boot with no card inserted Jul 28 03:21:39 wmat: sorry it does Jul 28 03:21:50 ah Jul 28 03:21:58 * m_billybob runs debian like mrpackethead Jul 28 03:22:12 been running it since the beginning and works very well Jul 28 03:22:21 then m_billybob's instructions should work Jul 28 03:22:23 m_billybob: to each his own I guess Jul 28 03:22:30 of course. Jul 28 03:22:39 m_billybob: :) Jul 28 03:22:45 wait, not JIHAD! you must run debian ( not really ) Jul 28 03:22:58 run what makes you happy lol Jul 28 03:23:04 what, no angstrom love? Jul 28 03:23:10 not from me. Jul 28 03:23:23 long time die hard debian "fan" Jul 28 03:23:44 ARCH sounds interresting but im very familiar with debian. Jul 28 03:23:51 wmat: doesn't have the modules built for the wireless mouse/combo I have :( Jul 28 03:23:55 gentoo soudns amiliar to me even Jul 28 03:24:06 familliar too Jul 28 03:24:12 err Jul 28 03:24:13 m_billybob: at some point Linux/gnu is Linux/gnu Jul 28 03:24:20 wtf was i saying ? Jul 28 03:24:33 gentoo sound interresting to me too Jul 28 03:24:55 glucose, im to intrenched / happy with knowing where thigns are, plus APT / dpkg Jul 28 03:25:13 again we all need to use what makes us happy. Jul 28 03:27:33 glucose either way there are a few people here runnign ARCH who seem very happy with it. More power to them i say Jul 28 03:28:25 m_billybob: I have to work with debian at my job, I need something a little farther off for my fun :) Jul 28 03:28:42 I think id have problems with a roaming package "list" Jul 28 03:28:52 or just roaming packages Jul 28 03:28:57 i like things concrete Jul 28 03:29:33 the latest EEVblog is really good Jul 28 03:29:47 if you like JTAG/Bounday Scan stuff Jul 28 03:29:50 wmat which is about what ? Jul 28 03:29:57 ah Jul 28 03:30:20 no need for it personally yet, although could be something worth learning eventually. Jul 28 03:30:53 I find dave a bit . ..hmm . . .obscure. He seems to talk about thing, without actually saying anything. Jul 28 03:31:38 some of the oscilliscope teardowns i found interesting. Jul 28 03:31:48 i like the dumpster dive stuff Jul 28 03:34:30 glucose now when you're ready to boot from the SD card, this link ( although debian related ) may give you some insight on how your uEnv.txt needs to be "setup" mainly the uEnv.txt file section Jul 28 03:34:31 http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black Jul 28 03:34:55 glucose also this source file might be of some use too Jul 28 03:34:56 http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=include/configs/am335x_evm.h;hb=HEAD#l57 Jul 28 03:35:45 post your experience to elinux.org, my personal favorite ;) Jul 28 03:35:58 I have my own blog Jul 28 03:36:10 elinux.org is a wiki Jul 28 03:36:11 all debian related of course. Jul 28 03:36:23 link Jul 28 03:36:32 embeddedhobbyist.com Jul 28 03:37:20 m_billybob: looks like it worked Jul 28 03:37:37 m_billybob: it booted up fine with the sdcard in there Jul 28 03:37:39 * m_billybob knew it would Jul 28 03:37:49 m_billybob: thanks :) Jul 28 03:37:50 its been tested ;) Jul 28 03:38:07 thank Spirilis he researched those parameters Jul 28 03:38:09 m_billybob: subscribed. Jul 28 03:38:13 but you're welcome all the same Jul 28 03:38:34 m_billybob: you should post to the beagle group on G+ when you post on your blog Jul 28 03:38:41 or perhaps you have already Jul 28 03:38:53 wmat fwiw i am currently working on a blog for USB boot Jul 28 03:38:54 m_billybob: if I run into him I'll thank him too, but you helped me get on the right path, thx Jul 28 03:39:27 m_billybob: i look forward to reading it Jul 28 03:39:50 wmat, that theme is custom written by me . . . lot of work which i kind of . ... hmm idk dont care to do, but i may write more functionality into my theme Jul 28 03:40:14 php os definately not one of my favored languages Jul 28 03:40:17 is* Jul 28 03:41:34 yes, i use the evil wordpress . . . would like ot add comments too, but keep getting spam comments whcih i dont know how to proerly deal with *YET* Jul 28 03:42:08 * wmat uses Octopress Jul 28 03:42:18 mostly post acomment with an url in it and you get auto spammed lol Jul 28 03:42:38 but comments are currently off for the time being Jul 28 03:43:11 keep them off Jul 28 03:43:49 I've ben thinking of putting related video's on my youtune channel and let people comment there Jul 28 03:43:56 youtube* Jul 28 03:44:23 more functionality to write into the theme though. ill get around to *something* eventually Jul 28 03:45:09 * wmat out Jul 28 03:45:17 later. Jul 28 03:47:16 later. everything is later Jul 28 03:47:21 why cna't i have everything now Jul 28 03:50:37 * m_billybob shrugs Jul 28 03:50:46 instant gratification ? Jul 28 03:51:19 instant kernel 5.0 Jul 28 03:51:44 erm cant disagree enough. instant debian 15 would be bettter :P Jul 28 06:54:41 Friends any one know the procedure for booting from spi nand device of AM35XX preocess (or) begale bone black board ? Jul 28 07:05:53 who trolls trolls the most.. ooh ahhh Jul 28 09:39:13 i'm dissapointed to see the increasing number of peopel posting in the mailing list, that the board sucks because i can't install it. Jul 28 09:51:39 mrpackethead, dissapointed in the people not able to make it work or dissapointed in some initiative to make it easier? Jul 28 09:52:13 dissapointed that some people just assume their hardware is broken, or not deisgned properly Jul 28 09:52:24 becuase they cnat' get it to work after 10 minutes of effort Jul 28 09:53:08 ok Jul 28 09:53:13 but i guess the bbb is steeper learning curve that a RPi Jul 28 09:53:45 Yes, and that I think that is what we need to compare. Jul 28 09:53:58 but honestly its not that hard Jul 28 09:55:26 I can't say, been working on Linux for ~20 years so I don't know any longer what is easy and what is hard for someone new Jul 28 09:55:43 yeah. Jul 28 09:55:58 i first came in contact with Linux in about 1992 Jul 28 09:56:25 I think the pages Robert Nelson put together are excellent, but it does take some experience to be able to comprehend Jul 28 09:56:39 yes possibly. Jul 28 09:57:18 But is seems "everyone" is able to get the RPi to work, likely they have done something differently Jul 28 09:57:33 they only really ahve 1 os Jul 28 09:57:35 that is common Jul 28 09:57:39 and it comes ready to run Jul 28 09:58:20 Right, now I haven't tried one myself, but how is that different from the Ångström image that comes on the BBB? Jul 28 09:59:27 problme is that the number of people who know Angstrom is pretty limited Jul 28 09:59:46 its a "small" community compared to the likes of the ubuntu or debian users Jul 28 09:59:55 Building Ångström or using it? Jul 28 10:00:40 using it Jul 28 10:02:32 Agreed, but I think the number of people that knows how to put together the Ångström image are _very_ few. Jul 28 10:02:44 yup Jul 28 10:02:49 theres just not a large community Jul 28 10:03:27 I actually decided to build "my own" distro due to this, just couldn't find enough information on Ångström. Jul 28 10:03:40 i use debian Jul 28 10:03:44 and its working well for me Jul 28 10:03:48 With "my own" I mean a custom yocto poky based distro Jul 28 10:04:08 I also use debian, agree it works well Jul 28 10:04:38 But putting debian on the BBBs instead of Ångström will not make it easier "to get started" Jul 28 10:05:10 i think one of the problems is that usb-gadgets are not well understood Jul 28 10:05:53 people are stupid and demand #exactsteps Jul 28 10:05:56 that is the problem Jul 28 10:06:36 well, whats odd, is bbb, was obviously designed to compete with Rpi Jul 28 10:06:57 the price was probably pushed to be competitive Jul 28 10:07:04 _designed_, no Jul 28 10:07:15 it's only a small tweak of the white bone Jul 28 10:07:20 which predates the rpi Jul 28 10:07:42 added hdmi output Jul 28 10:07:53 but that compromised lots of other stuff? Jul 28 10:07:59 and the eMMC stuff Jul 28 10:08:06 added hdmi and emmc Jul 28 10:08:07 I'm just trying to udnerstnad the model. Jul 28 10:08:26 if it was to make it more competitive, by reducing price Jul 28 10:08:27 removed the onboard usb serial/jtag Jul 28 10:08:42 it targets a new market space Jul 28 10:08:57 not really Jul 28 10:09:03 but it is priced too low Jul 28 10:09:08 brings in the idiots Jul 28 10:09:09 it targets a space where people expect point'n click tools though Jul 28 10:09:25 it _appeals_ to that space Jul 28 10:09:31 indeed Jul 28 10:09:31 I'm not sure that was intentional Jul 28 10:09:35 frankly, if you are using a bbb as a dev tool to build a new system on, then $45 or $145 wod'tn make any differnce Jul 28 10:09:47 its an RPi sideefect ... Jul 28 10:09:54 I would have bought a BBB, for $145 Jul 28 10:09:58 becase it does what i want Jul 28 10:10:02 or even 245 Jul 28 10:10:06 the original beagle was $145 Jul 28 10:10:10 and i coud'nt build it for a lot lot less Jul 28 10:10:24 and it had "hdmi" too fwiw Jul 28 10:10:58 so, is it a "product" in its own right Jul 28 10:10:59 the pandaboard wasn't much more expensive and it had TWO HDMI/DVI outputs Jul 28 10:11:17 in which case, making it lower cost will increase volume Jul 28 10:11:17 the pandaboard was subsidised Jul 28 10:11:32 dm8tbr: yes, however the software for the panda was less supported than beagleboard imho Jul 28 10:11:39 or is it a "tool" for peoplel to develop new products from Jul 28 10:11:44 I ran into countless problems with ubuntu Jul 28 10:11:56 * dm8tbr mumbles something about bloody politics Jul 28 10:12:02 you're not meant to run ubuntu on it Jul 28 10:12:11 the pandaboard is a low-cost evm Jul 28 10:12:21 mru, what are you supposed to run on it? Jul 28 10:12:38 whatever you're putting in your final product Jul 28 10:12:47 does google glass run ubuntu? Jul 28 10:12:49 Android I'd say. it was also very unsupported by Google Jul 28 10:12:55 The linaro images works quite well on the pan Jul 28 10:13:00 panda... Jul 28 10:13:13 and if your final product had ubuntu on it? Jul 28 10:13:14 uh, panda was officially supported by aosp Jul 28 10:13:22 mrpackethead: then it's not a real product Jul 28 10:13:51 mru: no, actually JBQ had to find a specific release and tag it for the panda since master no longer worked Jul 28 10:14:13 it _was_ supported at one point Jul 28 10:14:22 the ics release iirc Jul 28 10:14:29 yes, 4.0.3 iirc worked fine Jul 28 10:14:34 they probably moved to something else for jb Jul 28 10:14:51 but I guess everyone uses the linaro images now Jul 28 10:15:13 * mru never has and never will Jul 28 10:15:16 mru: so it woudl be imaginery Jul 28 10:16:55 the main issue was that TI decided to switch the DSP OS after 12.04 (same DSP OS now used on the Galaxy Nexus), that caused lots of issues Jul 28 10:17:07 even though the previous DSP OS worked just fine on 12.04 Jul 28 10:17:11 what dsp? Jul 28 10:17:37 the one that did the all the video decoding. a C6000 perhaps? I'm unsure Jul 28 10:17:59 video decoding is done on the ivahd which is not a dsp in the usual sense Jul 28 10:18:25 and you don't need to care about the software it runs Jul 28 10:18:31 the prob with TI was that they switched internals all the time and couldnt keep up with the speed Jul 28 10:18:40 (SW internals) Jul 28 10:18:44 you're probably thinking about the M3 aka ducati Jul 28 10:19:01 which resulted in multimedia support always being behind the distro releases Jul 28 10:19:12 they always ran sysbios on that Jul 28 10:19:22 ah, DSP/BIOS Link. to their credit it's the only company I know of that opens their DSP stack a little bit Jul 28 10:19:24 although the rpc interface was changed a few times Jul 28 10:19:35 (not counting CortexM DSP) Jul 28 10:19:35 and the fact that you needed 1700 kernel patches to actually make it work properly Jul 28 10:19:43 cortexm is not dsp Jul 28 10:19:51 (for graphical use) Jul 28 10:19:59 mru: M4 has floating point support Jul 28 10:20:03 so? Jul 28 10:20:06 doesn't make it a dsp Jul 28 10:20:10 it's a microcontroller Jul 28 10:20:21 see the M in the name? Jul 28 10:20:24 well it can do digital signal processing, so... Jul 28 10:20:39 _any_ programmable machine can do that Jul 28 10:20:48 see http://www.iar.com/About/Blog/2012/1/Designing-advanced-DSP-applications/ Jul 28 10:20:49 i can do process a digital signal with a $0.20 74 series logic chip Jul 28 10:20:54 does'nt make it a DSP Jul 28 10:20:56 lol iar Jul 28 10:21:04 what mrpackethead said Jul 28 10:21:43 mrpackethead: ok. good luck with that :) Jul 28 10:21:59 cde, i do it daily Jul 28 10:22:03 I've processed digital signals with 74 logic many times Jul 28 10:22:05 dont' need much luck. Jul 28 10:22:11 barely even skill Jul 28 10:22:24 I was doing it when I was 10 Jul 28 10:22:33 or maybe 11, can't remember Jul 28 10:22:39 i was doing it before I was born Jul 28 10:22:46 my tv is bigger than yours Jul 28 10:22:49 ha ha ha ha Jul 28 10:23:01 just saying it's not difficult Jul 28 10:23:22 i must be old. Jul 28 10:23:30 i used 4000 series cmos Jul 28 10:23:38 I've used those too Jul 28 10:23:54 first thing i built though, was a 1 led flasher Jul 28 10:24:05 but had to do it with a transisitor! Jul 28 10:24:37 transistors, what newfangled nonsense is that? Jul 28 10:24:58 anyway, just musing for the day. Trying to understand what the Beagle-drug-pushers are trying to do Jul 28 10:25:16 which market(s) are they trying to tackle, and why? Jul 28 10:25:24 stop trying Jul 28 10:25:28 they don't know it themselves Jul 28 10:26:14 and theres a question Jul 28 10:26:17 who is "they" Jul 28 10:26:21 is "they" CCO Jul 28 10:26:27 or is "they" TI Jul 28 10:26:32 or is "they" the chinese? Jul 28 10:26:39 gerald, jkridner, cco, ... Jul 28 10:27:19 mmm, cco. Jul 28 10:27:28 the guys who promise to get back to you Jul 28 10:27:30 but never do. Jul 28 10:27:44 sounds like most companies Jul 28 10:28:13 i've started work now on the beagle-clone-red Jul 28 10:29:08 it's not really a bcr, but we are calling it that for fun Jul 28 10:29:25 ripping out the stuff we dnt' need Jul 28 10:30:11 Hello everyone. I'm a new Beaglebone Black user, and my keyboard isn't being detected at boot. Any ideas? Jul 28 10:30:35 is it plugged in? Jul 28 10:31:04 Haha, that question could apply to the Beaglebone, or the keyboard. The answer to both questions is yes. Jul 28 10:31:20 powered by usb, or external? Jul 28 10:31:37 USB, right now. Jul 28 10:32:55 The version of Angstrom Linux on eMMC is pretty old, apparently Jul 28 10:33:06 pyBBIO told me to upgrade when I tried to install it Jul 28 10:33:21 can you power it with an external ps Jul 28 10:33:28 some usb ports dont' supply enough currnet Jul 28 10:33:46 Yep, I can do that Jul 28 10:36:16 No difference :( Jul 28 10:36:33 Same keyboard works fine on my Raspberry Pi Jul 28 10:37:23 if you're using bus-powered usb devices, you should power the beagle with a real power supply Jul 28 10:38:14 <_SY_> Morning Jul 28 10:38:16 StyxAlso: can you get a full boot log? Jul 28 10:38:17 <_SY_> Just Jul 28 10:40:25 i dont' use any keyboards Jul 28 10:40:37 mru: I'll try Jul 28 10:43:34 mrpackethead: http://youtu.be/hShY6xZWVGE?t=20s Jul 28 10:51:59 mru: I'm not that familiar with Angstrom Linux. Which log in /var/log do I need to look at? Jul 28 10:52:11 just run dmesg Jul 28 10:52:14 k Jul 28 10:52:27 and pastebin the output Jul 28 10:54:52 http://pastebin.com/h1SwttKD Jul 28 10:57:37 mru: I don't see anything in there about USB, just a lot of stuff about my monitor Jul 28 10:58:11 gah, too spammy Jul 28 10:58:21 you've lost the start of the log Jul 28 10:58:46 Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04a5:0001 Acer Peripherals Inc.

Keyboard Jul 28 10:58:46 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Jul 28 10:58:47 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Jul 28 10:58:50 That Jul 28 10:59:01 I see a keyboard there Jul 28 10:59:07 's the output of lsusb. So it can see the keyboard. Jul 28 10:59:09 Yeah Jul 28 10:59:37 I'm mystified as to why the num lock keys don't toggle the lights, and why I can't, for instance, switch virtual terminals. Jul 28 10:59:53 Do I need to mod probe a driver or something? Jul 28 11:00:00 does your kernel have a usbhid driver Jul 28 11:00:30 It has hidp, but not usbhid Jul 28 11:01:04 How do I load that? Jul 28 11:01:18 that might not be the actual name of the driver Jul 28 11:01:26 I'll Google Jul 28 11:01:48 oh, that is the name Jul 28 11:09:56 mru: I'm unsure what to do next. Do I load a driver? Jul 28 11:10:05 get a proper boot log Jul 28 11:10:12 If it helps, I can reboot without my monitor connected. Then dmesg should be less spammy. Jul 28 11:10:16 mru: Okay. Jul 28 11:10:26 rather reboot _without_ the monitor connected Jul 28 11:10:30 and don't connect it Jul 28 11:14:25 http://pastebin.com/gr8Jxb40 Jul 28 11:14:51 That's much better, starts from the beginning of the log Jul 28 11:17:10 line 377 Jul 28 11:17:56 Ah, thank you Jul 28 11:18:12 What does it mean? Jul 28 11:18:35 71 is EPROTO Jul 28 11:18:38 "Protocol error" Jul 28 11:18:44 no idea what might cause it Jul 28 11:19:14 are you using a usb hub? Jul 28 11:19:38 No Jul 28 11:19:46 Keyboard straight into the bone Jul 28 11:20:35 try using a powered hub Jul 28 11:20:43 power issues can cause almost any error Jul 28 11:20:54 Okay Jul 28 11:27:26 mru: Okay, I did that Jul 28 11:27:39 Now, when I run lsusb, I see two hubs, but not keyboard Jul 28 11:28:32 strange Jul 28 11:29:21 Quite Jul 28 11:30:02 one of the hid-drivers might missing Jul 28 11:30:13 Could be? Jul 28 11:30:36 The kbd works but numlock doesn't ? Jul 28 11:31:26 No, as far as I know, the keyboard does not work at all Jul 28 11:31:31 StyxAlso: zgrep CONFIG_HID_ /proc/config.gz Jul 28 11:32:26 aholler: Lots and lots of the lines in there are commented Jul 28 11:32:35 Lsusb should show it even If no driver attaches to it Jul 28 11:32:47 True Jul 28 11:32:54 When I plug it in directly, it does Jul 28 11:33:04 When I connect it via my USB hub, it doesn't. Jul 28 11:34:13 what does the kernel log say when using a hub? Jul 28 11:34:30 and just to make sure, this hub is self-powered? Jul 28 11:34:34 i.e. not bus-powered Jul 28 11:35:20 Yes, it has an external power supply Jul 28 11:39:13 http://pastebin.com/dwuxUCYZ Jul 28 11:43:21 More error -71s Jul 28 11:43:28 with the hub Jul 28 11:45:29 My Logitech mouse works great ... Jul 28 11:45:32 btw, usbhid is in the kernel, line 293 says so Jul 28 11:46:37 "CAUTION: musb: Babble Interrupt Occurred" wtf Jul 28 11:46:49 Indeed Jul 28 11:46:55 I have no idea what that could be about Jul 28 11:49:14 For now, I'm using the virtual keyboard with the mouse Jul 28 11:49:35 and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised by how zippy the Beaglebone Black is, compared to the Raspberry Pi Jul 28 11:49:43 _Much_ more responsive :) Jul 28 11:50:16 a real cpu will do that Jul 28 11:51:17 Burrrrnnn Jul 28 11:51:31 That's one of the reasons I bought it :) And the much more impressive IO capabilities Jul 28 11:52:16 just don't try playing hd video on it Jul 28 11:53:50 I was a bit surprised to find out the Raspberry Pi only has digital IO! Jul 28 11:54:04 After playing with Arduino for a while, I just assumed the Pi would have that. Jul 28 11:54:51 The USB babble is bad i think Jul 28 11:55:33 Styx, linux is not ideal for realtime io anyway Jul 28 11:56:00 With the Pi I Jul 28 11:56:02 oops Jul 28 11:56:26 bone has the PRUs for realtime i/o Jul 28 11:56:45 With the Pi I used an arduino linked with serial and I2C for io Jul 28 11:56:53 Mr Jul 28 11:56:59 Fffuuu :) Jul 28 11:57:03 iPhone irc Jul 28 11:57:30 Is there a pru c compiler already? Jul 28 11:59:33 why would you need one? Jul 28 11:59:40 there's only 8k instruction ram Jul 28 12:01:07 I suck at assembler. And not very keen on learning new instruction sets Jul 28 12:01:23 then what are you doing with embedded systems? Jul 28 12:01:39 And 8k is quite enough Jul 28 12:01:49 Are you guys electrical engineers? I'm just a statistician who got curious :) Jul 28 12:02:05 guilty as charged Jul 28 12:02:13 pardon the pun Jul 28 12:02:21 No I'm a CS guy Jul 28 12:02:38 mru: ;) Thanks very much for your help, btw. Jul 28 12:04:17 I have been happily using atmega, rpi and bbb without asm so far Jul 28 12:06:24 I was a comp sci person first, and back when I started, we always went to assembler for speed. C was high level :) Jul 28 12:07:17 we still use assembly for speed Jul 28 12:07:51 in fact, it's been my day job for the last few years Jul 28 12:08:10 pays quite well Jul 28 12:08:21 hi Jul 28 12:09:01 i am new to beagleboard. how can i define wifi adapter to the board. Jul 28 12:09:33 usb? Jul 28 12:14:16 mru, I am a CTO now, I rarely code for work.. More for fun. Jul 28 12:54:03 morning Crofton Jul 28 12:54:52 austria today, eh? Jul 28 12:56:33 nasser, adafruit has an article about wifi Jul 28 12:56:44 what's to write an article about? Jul 28 12:56:52 1. buy usb dongle Jul 28 12:56:56 2. plug it in Jul 28 12:57:08 3. configure network Jul 28 12:57:12 4. profit Jul 28 12:57:21 there, #exactsteps Jul 28 12:57:45 it works exactly like wifi does on _any_ linux system Jul 28 12:59:11 yeah Jul 28 12:59:32 on my way to Munich to catch a plane Jul 28 12:59:48 that's a bit of a detour Jul 28 12:59:56 don't they have an airport in .cz? Jul 28 13:00:05 I flew in to Muncih Jul 28 13:00:19 and didn't have a sane route out at the time I bought the ticket Jul 28 13:03:27 thats weird, dns will not resolve .dyndns.org names Jul 28 13:03:32 had to ssh to another machine Jul 28 13:03:51 mru, I learned that Sweden attacked Brno at some point in history Jul 28 13:04:18 sweden or people from the are now known as sweden? Jul 28 13:04:36 not sure Jul 28 13:05:06 My history of Europe is spotty Jul 28 13:06:17 the vikings attacked pretty much everything between istanbul and newfoundland Jul 28 13:12:45 this seemed more recent than that Jul 28 13:12:54 interwebs are spotty atm Jul 28 13:14:17 a few kings did wage a few wars down that direction too Jul 28 13:14:20 Teh Thirty Years war Jul 28 13:14:55 ah, king Gustav II Adolf then Jul 28 13:15:17 he got shot in the end Jul 28 13:15:27 after which his army went home Jul 28 13:16:32 heh Jul 28 13:16:38 they should bring back the tradition of the king/leader actually being present on the battlefield Jul 28 13:16:42 there is a lesson there Jul 28 13:16:56 +1 Jul 28 13:17:17 but at least he was shot by the enemy Jul 28 13:17:30 king Karl XII was shot by his own people Jul 28 13:17:43 no, that's not X11 Jul 28 14:06:54 ok wtf.. my BBB at the island works ok while I'm there, now I come back to the city and it has dropped off the network Jul 28 14:07:35 it hasn't updated the DNS and is not logged on IRC Jul 28 14:08:09 Is there a more standalone DMA based HSMMC implementation that doesn't depend on like a billion linux specific things? Jul 28 14:09:23 the nice thing about linux is that it provies those billion things for drivers to use Jul 28 14:09:51 Yes, Darwin doesn't really have that ... Jul 28 14:10:10 that... sucks Jul 28 14:10:15 But I mean, it's possible to write drivers in a kernel independent ways. Jul 28 14:10:29 just expose interfaces like MMC read, write etc. Jul 28 14:10:32 by depending on hw instead of kernel= Jul 28 14:10:32 yes, but then you can't use any of the nice frameworks Jul 28 14:10:33 ? Jul 28 14:10:56 but that could turn a driver porting fest to a job that only takes a few days Jul 28 14:11:13 aholler: well you still depend on the hw. Jul 28 14:11:19 but it makes driver _writing_ and maintenance hell instead Jul 28 14:11:29 Kristina: most poeple port from hw to hw, not from kernel to kernel ;) Jul 28 14:11:49 so it's better to depend on the kernel instead of the hw Jul 28 14:11:56 I wonder if I can somehow run Linux as a little firmware. Jul 28 14:12:24 Like, boot it, set up hooks, route some IRQs to it and poke the MMC subsystem from Darwin. Jul 28 14:14:08 I already have a toolchain capable of building the kernel for the "wrong" ABI. Jul 28 14:14:21 run darwin in a vm ;) Jul 28 14:14:25 Nooo. Jul 28 14:14:35 The idea is to have it run natively. Jul 28 14:14:40 or don't run darwin at all... Jul 28 14:14:52 And treat Linux as a "driver". Jul 28 14:15:02 I have yet to hear a single compelling reason to run darwin Jul 28 14:15:23 I want to run iOS on stuff. Jul 28 14:15:35 that's not compelling Jul 28 14:15:52 but your time is for you to spend as you wish Jul 28 14:17:44 The problem is that Linux will try to take over VM. Jul 28 14:18:59 Kristina, maybe you could run Darwin and Linux both on top of an hypervisor... But I bet is it easier to write an MMC driver for Darwin. Jul 28 14:19:55 dnil: That actually requires having an ARM that supports virtualisation. Jul 28 14:20:16 those are commonplace these days Jul 28 14:20:52 Beagle doesn't have virtualizsation faivcilities. Jul 28 14:20:53 :( Jul 28 14:21:14 Yeah, ok. So you want to run iOS on the beaglbone? Jul 28 14:21:43 Yes, but I don't really feel like fiddling with a trillion drivers. Jul 28 14:22:15 I mean, Darwin boots on Beagle but there is no HSMMC. Jul 28 14:22:50 Just curious, how far does that put you from running iOS? Jul 28 14:22:58 Not very far. Jul 28 14:23:09 I assume there is a lot more to it then getting Darwin running? Jul 28 14:23:09 I just can't load the full userland from a ramdisk. Jul 28 14:23:20 dnil: IOSFC and IOMFB. Jul 28 14:23:24 As well. Jul 28 14:23:28 And some userland patching. Jul 28 14:23:31 Nothing too complex. Jul 28 14:23:38 Kristina: any news on the powervr gpu reverse-engineering? I kinda lost track of the project Jul 28 14:23:49 cde: Nope, I have the DDK. Jul 28 14:24:09 ok. the public version I assume? Jul 28 14:24:17 Nope. Jul 28 14:24:38 oh wow you're lucky. does it come with actual source? Jul 28 14:25:10 I guess. http://crna.cc/ZivqmAgnZSqx1sN Jul 28 14:25:11 yup, all my safeguards aside, the BBB has disappeared.. it doesn't have 3G access or is otherwise hung.. wheee.. and it's 200km driving + an hour's boat ride to see what's wrong :) Jul 28 14:26:16 well I did put in a hard power reset on the +5V feed to happen every night so might reappear tomorrow morning. Jul 28 14:26:42 those 3G modems are utter crap Jul 28 14:27:13 vaizki_, Which 3G modem did you use? Jul 28 14:27:16 Kristina: that's very cool. although I assume you won't be able to include those sources in the public release of your OS Jul 28 14:27:23 Nope. Jul 28 14:27:30 dnil: the one I had around, Huaweihuihai E398 or something Jul 28 14:27:58 cde: FSF, eh? Jul 28 14:28:03 :) Jul 28 14:28:21 vaizki_, Ok, good. I happened to have worked for a competing product for a long time, just wanted to make sure it wasn't that model that causes issues. Jul 28 14:28:21 I used to be part of the revere-engineering project. but gave up due to lack of time Jul 28 14:29:04 dnil: maybe there's a reason they give the huawei dongles away for free with data sims... Jul 28 14:29:37 vaizki_, Well, lets just say that Hua did cut a lot of corner in their R&D. Jul 28 14:30:18 dnil: so which 3G dongle would you support online in IRC? ;D Jul 28 14:30:41 vaizki_, Ericsson F5521gw Jul 28 14:31:27 I found a way to cut the USB power on the BBB and I put that in as a safeguard, so it removes the power from the modem if the connection is lost and then resets Jul 28 14:31:34 after 10 secs Jul 28 14:31:42 I thought that might keep the damn thing online Jul 28 14:32:15 vaizki_, How are you powering the 3G modem? Jul 28 14:32:17 but noooo it's disappeared within the first 8 hours without any warning (it posts a log over HTTP to my home) Jul 28 14:32:32 dnil, just through the BBB .. but the BBB is on a solid 5V feed Jul 28 14:33:44 funny thing is it worked fine while I was there Jul 28 14:34:01 vaizki_, A lot of integrating issues are related to power. The reason is that the modem needs up to ~2.5A peak when running in GSM mode Jul 28 14:34:42 you but it needs to have caps to cover that? No way you can suck 2.5A from the bus? Jul 28 14:34:45 And without proper test equipment you will not be able to test those conditions where the model ramps up to that output power (or decides to drop to GSM) Jul 28 14:35:11 vaizki_, No, no caps will supply that. It is a duration of 1 or 2 times 577us Jul 28 14:35:32 ah ok.. well I have 3G coverage there, HSDPA and all Jul 28 14:35:51 at least I haven't seen it drop to EDGE or GPRS ever Jul 28 14:36:04 There are "supercaps" that can help, they are about the size of a 1/3 of a beaglebone Jul 28 14:36:38 That is why there are no USB compliant 3G modems. Some models even come with dual USB connectors for this reason Jul 28 14:37:04 btw is there a safe & clean way to force a cpu reset (like pressing reset button) from Linux side on the BBB? Jul 28 14:37:22 like reboot but through reset cycle Jul 28 14:37:55 man halt Jul 28 14:38:24 dnil: so it would be best to have a 5V 5A feed, split it to BBB and through a GPIO controlled FET to the 3G dongle V+? Jul 28 14:39:04 and just have the data lines connected to the BBB Jul 28 14:39:08 vaizki_, Yes, something like that. I have been thinking about making a "3G cape" that has a good power supply to take care of this issue Jul 28 14:39:37 Not sure about the demand for a 3G cape though? Jul 28 14:40:29 5V 3A power supply will likely cover it though... Jul 28 14:40:31 well if it had an integrated solar / piezo power harvesting charger and LiPo connector + RTC + periodic wake up capability + FET controlled USB port with.. :D Jul 28 14:41:11 vaizki_, That was not part of the feature set I had in mind... Jul 28 14:41:15 doh Jul 28 14:42:03 But you are free to stack another cape on top :-) Jul 28 14:43:59 I was rather thinking about integrated antennas on the cape, dual antennas for diversity reception Jul 28 14:48:44 right so includes the whole gsm module as well? Jul 28 14:48:55 a real one from the M2M product lines? Jul 28 14:50:02 vaizki, Yes, something like that. Would use a MiniCard then so that the choice of 3G modem would be up to the user Jul 28 14:50:19 ah right Jul 28 14:51:03 wouldn't that become a bit expensive, putting in pci-e controller etc? Jul 28 14:51:31 No, they are USB device even though they are called "PCIe Mini Card" Jul 28 14:51:43 The PCIe port is not used Jul 28 14:51:59 live & learn Jul 28 14:52:08 expresscard? Jul 28 14:52:09 but it makes sense to put a usb + pci-e there Jul 28 14:52:14 just like expresscard yea Jul 28 14:52:19 the thing that replaced pcmcia/cardbus Jul 28 14:52:31 minicard is the internal version, like a dimm connector Jul 28 14:53:28 mru, the wifi minicards are they pci-e or usb then? Jul 28 14:53:29 "All" WiFi adapters in laptops are PCIe MiniCards Jul 28 14:53:49 WiFi is typically PCI Express, but is varies Jul 28 14:54:09 built-in wifi in laptops is usually pcie Jul 28 14:54:24 yea that's what I thought Jul 28 14:54:39 But WiFi is part of the Centrino package so Intel is in control over the whole deal in that case Jul 28 14:55:20 mini-pci wifi modules used to be common Jul 28 14:55:26 back when wifi in laptops wasn't standard Jul 28 14:56:16 mru, Yep. Great source of confusion. Mini PCI and PCIe Mini Card does not have many things in common... Jul 28 15:47:10 Trying to compile the bbb kernel and getting an odd: "recursive dependency detected!". Anybody ever see this before? Jul 28 15:57:02 ignore it Jul 28 15:58:17 Even if it's an error? Jul 28 15:59:16 IGNORE THE ERROR and CARRY ON Jul 28 15:59:28 Ok. :D Jul 28 15:59:38 although seriously, I don't know Jul 28 15:59:47 it would'nt continue if it 's an error Jul 28 15:59:54 retry, abort, ignore, fail Jul 28 16:00:46 but fixing it is of course an option too ;) Jul 28 16:01:47 I wouldn't know how to fix it.... Never dug into the kernel, but there's always a time to start. Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/FWdtfWSd Jul 28 16:04:53 but I shall try and carry on, thanks for the help Jul 28 16:34:33 HSMMC is not the same as MMC right? Jul 28 16:34:44 Because there is a HSMMC driver and MMC driver. Jul 28 16:34:53 Not sure which one is the right one. Jul 28 17:21:50 Kristina: hsmmc is used on the bbb Jul 28 17:44:25 Think OpenWRT would be good to run on a beaglebone black? Jul 28 17:50:10 why? Jul 28 17:54:30 What's the difference between ACMD and CMD with MMC stuff? Jul 28 17:57:05 voe: it's not much of a router with only one eth port Jul 28 17:59:06 if you want to play with OpenWRT just pick up a cheap used router from their compatible list. Jul 28 17:59:06 morning Jul 28 17:59:22 moroning mranostay Jul 28 18:00:19 * emeb_mac got a used cisco wrt120n for $5 yesterday Jul 28 18:00:56 (not OpenWRT compatible tho - not enough ram/flash) Jul 28 18:01:58 hence $5 Jul 28 18:06:23 heh - I doubt that hackability was a concern for the folks selling that router. Jul 28 18:25:04 mru: he! Jul 28 18:25:08 *hey! Jul 28 19:46:32 hmpf Jul 28 20:05:15 hmpf, said the camel Jul 28 20:41:53 damn no ds2 Jul 28 21:13:43 hi folks - just started playing about with a BBB - a bit of a n00b when it comes to programming/hacking etc - but very excited :P Jul 28 21:16:32 anyone know which directory applications sit in ?? Jul 28 21:17:09 thats Ã¥ngstrøm by the way Jul 28 21:19:04 also is there a way of adjusting screen resolution other than having to use terminal ?? Jul 28 22:01:54 how to enable hdmi output on BBB? Jul 28 22:21:35 hdmi should "just work" if you're using the stock Angstrom that ships with the BBB Jul 28 22:34:10 emeb_mac: the "just work" Jul 28 22:34:16 nice. Jul 28 22:35:17 don't know how it behaves with other distros Jul 28 22:36:47 Hello. Jul 28 22:39:13 needing a bit of help here Jul 28 22:39:25 I just installed debian Jul 28 22:39:33 I want the wheezy desktop and i can't seem to get my script to work Jul 28 22:41:24 any thoughts? it tells me I have to manually run sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem? what does that mean? Jul 28 22:42:37 Can anybody confirm whether web browsers running on the beagle board are GPU accelerated? I need to ensure that animations in a browser will be very smooth. Jul 28 22:47:27 getting a desktop is hard enough much less gpu annimations Jul 28 22:47:35 getting tech support seems to be even harder though Jul 28 22:51:20 WTF IS THIS SUDO DPKG --CONFIGURE -A Jul 28 22:51:24 it keeps freezing my shit!

Jul 28 22:52:48 wtf! Jul 28 22:54:30 maybe you should ask some deban guys Jul 28 23:01:36 eh well...I was trying ubuntu...but it kept freezing after log in Jul 28 23:01:55 got the desktop screen prompts and it was almost good...then it just showed me how much a piece of shit ubuntu is Jul 28 23:02:03 so I figure, hey everyone says run wheezy Jul 28 23:02:08 so I figure, I'll try that Jul 28 23:02:13 what do I get...another shit hang up Jul 28 23:03:47 I just want a working desktop that's not angstrom so I can run off the sd card Jul 28 23:07:19 sorry can't help ya.. instead I'm just going to sleep& Jul 28 23:07:29 w/e Jul 28 23:14:07 sitsmantcompared: there's a working Fedora19 image out there Jul 28 23:14:24 where?

I clicked the link but not sure which one to use Jul 28 23:20:15 the one with beagleboneblack in it's name Jul 28 23:20:28 first in list Jul 28 23:21:05 maybe it's too obvious Jul 28 23:21:26 maybe it should have a more obscure name and be the 8th on the list Jul 28 23:21:26 maybe...it says beagleboard Jul 28 23:22:15 then make a few blog posts all pointing at different _other_ images Jul 28 23:22:27 lol Jul 28 23:22:33 sitsmantcompared: you do have a beagleboneblack, right? Jul 28 23:22:38 sorry I clicked a faq link I have aDD Jul 28 23:22:44 I have a bbb Jul 28 23:22:58 I think the people across the street from me are having a gay sex orgy wtf Jul 28 23:22:59 ok, then you're good with that f19 image Jul 28 23:23:16 does the fedora run pretty smooth? Jul 28 23:23:34 unlikely Jul 28 23:23:52 i've booted it a couple of times, and it seems to work Jul 28 23:23:53 .... Jul 28 23:23:53 desktop distros tend to be aimed at current-gen PCs Jul 28 23:24:09 ok hopefully it will actually boot a desktop Jul 28 23:24:21 which are at least an order of magnitude more powerful Jul 28 23:24:23 the last two have almost gotten there then...crash or have dpkg issues Jul 28 23:24:26 i don't really use a desktop on any dev boards Jul 28 23:24:38 and why would you? Jul 28 23:24:52 i blame those RPi folks ;) Jul 28 23:24:53 yeah yeah...i hear this everytime "why do you want to run a desktop" Jul 28 23:25:10 because...I DO, that's it...it's simple, let's not over complicate things Jul 28 23:25:10 if you want a desktop, there are these great devices built specifically for the purpose Jul 28 23:25:17 they are called PCs Jul 28 23:25:29 yes I am using a PC right now Jul 28 23:25:31 to type this Jul 28 23:25:33 ah - PCs are for old people Jul 28 23:25:34 sitsmantcompared: that F19 image utilizes the MATE desktop. It's not bad. Jul 28 23:25:41 ok thanks Jul 28 23:25:48 emeb_mac: I thought that was mainframes Jul 28 23:25:56 smartphones and tablets are the new hotness Jul 28 23:26:07 mru: I hear those are coming back. :) Jul 28 23:26:18 but smartphones and tablets don't run desktop software Jul 28 23:26:21 * wmat misses mainframe work Jul 28 23:26:35 JCL/TSO/COBOL etc. Jul 28 23:26:53 I'd like to see someone do embedded development on a tablet Jul 28 23:27:09 what do you mean? Jul 28 23:27:53 I mean that all this talk about how PCs are on the way out, what will replace them that can be used to do work? Jul 28 23:28:05 nothing Jul 28 23:28:09 we'll just stop doing work Jul 28 23:28:11 suits me Jul 28 23:28:12 as opposed to surfing/social/etc Jul 28 23:28:40 beer & skittles for everyone? Jul 28 23:28:50 wmat it won't let me get the image Jul 28 23:29:01 said download is finished, but when I go to 7zip it, it says it can't Jul 28 23:29:09 it's just an internet icon Jul 28 23:29:24 oh no, you downloaded the entire internet Jul 28 23:29:33 that was fast Jul 28 23:29:40 must have a good ISP Jul 28 23:30:15 haha Jul 28 23:30:21 or one that censors most of it Jul 28 23:30:27 it said it was done downloading, apparently it wasn't wtf Jul 28 23:30:39 mru do you know much about TOR? Jul 28 23:30:46 no Jul 28 23:30:50 ok nvm Jul 28 23:31:11 sitsmantcompared: you can download the SHA256SUM.txt file and verify Jul 28 23:31:18 and the nsa can probably track you through tor too Jul 28 23:31:24 they can't Jul 28 23:31:28 if they monitor enough nodes they can Jul 28 23:31:30 sitsmantcompared: it's in the HOWTO Jul 28 23:31:34 using statistical methods Jul 28 23:31:35 eh yeah perhaps Jul 28 23:31:41 if they monitor enough nodes Jul 28 23:31:55 not if you bounce if off random wifi's though Jul 28 23:31:57 lies, damned lies and statistical methods Jul 28 23:32:06 nsa is good with lies Jul 28 23:32:18 then they just track it to random people's wifi Jul 28 23:32:26 but they monitor _everything_ Jul 28 23:32:32 so? Jul 28 23:32:36 mru: but the nsa can't even grep their own email. Jul 28 23:32:40 if the path between two nodes crosses the atlantic, they monitor it Jul 28 23:32:47 anonymous fucked the nsa up Jul 28 23:32:48 haha Jul 28 23:33:12 emeb_mac: that would be the damned lies Jul 28 23:33:23 mru: yeah - smells like bs Jul 28 23:33:46 "oh no, we can't give you that information - our search tools are so shoddy" Jul 28 23:33:51 that said, if I were in charge of the nsa, I'd make it as hard as possible Jul 28 23:34:32 I have the slowest isp in the fucking world I think Jul 28 23:34:37 implausible deniability. Jul 28 23:34:47 build a system that's deliberately hard to find anything in Jul 28 23:35:03 I'd call it 'ms outlook' Jul 28 23:35:10 haha Jul 28 23:35:43 oh yay...all the gay guys are showing up in their pedophile vans at my neighbors house for the techno sex party Jul 28 23:36:03 pull the curtains. don't look. Jul 28 23:36:11 haha...no seriously Jul 28 23:36:16 it's a black guy across the street Jul 28 23:36:25 you can hear the bass thumping all the way in my house Jul 28 23:36:35 just banging techno non stop for hours and hours Jul 28 23:36:37 every sunday Jul 28 23:36:42 and random guys start showing up Jul 28 23:37:02 just like one after another until the street is full of cars Jul 28 23:39:10 wmat once I get this distro installed is it essentially the same "get apt-update" get-apt upgrade" deal Jul 28 23:39:21 like what are the commands for installing the desktop? Jul 28 23:39:48 sitsmantcompared: it will boot into a desktop Jul 28 23:39:59 oh cool that's simple enough Jul 28 23:40:11 sitsmantcompared: but to update a Fedora system, it's yum update Jul 28 23:40:18 sitsmantcompared: no apt Jul 28 23:42:17 I see Jul 28 23:43:14 so fedora linux system is a desktop system essentially? Jul 28 23:46:10 yeah Jul 29 00:00:29 oh it was lively in here for aminute there Jul 29 00:00:44 I need to stop drinking Jul 29 00:02:28 why would you do such a silly thing Jul 29 00:03:09 eh well Jul 29 00:03:16 I quit smoking because I have a kidney disease Jul 29 00:03:20 and my blood pressure was high Jul 29 00:03:28 but now I drink because I'm depressed...it's like a catch 22 Jul 29 00:04:07 so i put in micro sd card...powered up beagle...and nothing is happening hrmm Jul 29 00:05:54 uh oh Jul 29 00:06:03 I think Fedora might have jacked my beagle board up bad :( Jul 29 00:10:18 ok desktop is up...why doesn't the powered hub or mouse or anything work :( Jul 29 00:17:46 try unplugging them and plugging them back into the board Jul 29 00:20:38 ok I got it up and running...it's a bit slow but that's ok Jul 29 00:20:44 so here's my dilema Jul 29 00:20:59 I only have a wireless mouse because for some reason the usb hub isn't recognizing anything else Jul 29 00:21:06 how do I fix that part so I can connect my keyboard too Jul 29 00:35:58 I cannot get my powered usb hub to be recognized wtf mate Jul 29 00:41:52 ahh this sucks again jesus can I not win!!!! arghh Jul 29 02:15:31 ...

Jul 29 02:22:24 Maker Faire FTW Jul 29 02:56:11 how well does xbmc work on the beaglebone?
