**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 29 02:59:59 2013 Sep 29 03:57:04 rocky|facepalm, still having broblems connecting to bb? Sep 29 04:09:37 hello guys! Sep 29 04:10:26 Do you know if in the BBB it's possible to mount the eemc partition once booted from uSD? Sep 29 04:45:31 bmatusiak: not anymore. turned out it was a bad cable *facepalm* Sep 29 04:45:46 bmatusiak: I'm having problems with dhcp not working though Sep 29 04:46:18 intermittently it gets assigend to 169.254.* Sep 29 09:02:46 hi Sep 29 09:02:53 does anyone know why I get this: Sep 29 09:02:55 [ 140.676680] pwm_test pwm_test_P9_31.12: unable to request PWM Sep 29 09:03:01 [ 140.695170] platform pwm_test_P9_31.12: Driver pwm_test requests probe deferral Sep 29 09:08:11 so does anyone knwo? Sep 29 09:49:46 hello Sep 29 09:50:19 I would like to know whether Beablebone black can be used as a adb device over USB? Sep 29 10:01:16 whatever adb is, if it works with linux it can be done with bbb Sep 29 10:01:36 Android Debug bridge Sep 29 10:01:48 could be as well apple desktop bus Sep 29 10:02:11 probably not much difference ;) Sep 29 10:05:06 Well I read some article which says that it can not work with linux gadget driver... but rather with FunctionFS... Sep 29 10:05:31 and its Android Debug Bridge I am talking about Sep 29 10:06:02 what does gadget driver have to do with it? Sep 29 10:38:40 that is not really something which is not intersted for me... but I just want to confirm for now that whether USB client port of Beaglebone black can act as any Android USB device? Sep 29 10:40:29 mayur: are you aware of the fact that "android usb device" is nothing more than a "linux usb device" which in turn is just a linux computer with an usb port acting as a device? Sep 29 10:42:01 KotH: are you of those responding by questions ? :) Sep 29 10:42:33 KotH: RypRap: why not ? Sep 29 10:42:41 this channel is a zen temple in disguise ;) Sep 29 10:43:50 and asking questions is a good way to teach people to think, especially in this day and age where understanding how something works or is connected to other things is not valued highly Sep 29 10:46:40 i agree, though everything is pressured/compressed according to limited by life time of human beings Sep 29 10:46:51 * dm8tbr zen-butts KotH Sep 29 10:48:49 dm8tbr: ok, no chocolate for you today! Sep 29 10:58:45 KotH: Yes, I am aware of it... Sep 29 11:08:59 I think I am confused because of the term "USB client port" in beaglebone black specification, which I thought could be only used for powering up and accessing SD card... Sep 29 11:17:38 it's a regular musb port Sep 29 11:17:45 should even be able to do host-mode Sep 29 11:18:41 also what you called 'accessing the SD card' in reality was exactly one of those modes you asked for, emulated storage device Sep 29 11:21:11 Okay now I am very much clear with my doubt.. Sep 29 11:26:01 mission acomplished: another doubt cleared Sep 29 13:49:56 hey folks, so I just updated my firmware via microSD but now the unit seems to refuse to actually boot up Sep 29 13:50:03 all I get is the power LED Sep 29 13:50:19 (powered over usb & adapter->usb) Sep 29 13:50:44 is there some sort of black magic step I'm missing here? Sep 29 13:53:21 mkjackson, how did you update your firmware? Sep 29 13:56:30 I imaged the microsd card, held the boot button down while powering up (w/ msd card inserted) Sep 29 13:56:39 waited for about 45 minutes Sep 29 13:56:43 lights were solid Sep 29 13:57:00 powered off, took out the sd card, powered on Sep 29 13:57:11 now I get nothing even when the sd card is inserted Sep 29 13:57:34 is there a way to know it's bricked and not just "stunned" Sep 29 13:58:07 well you cant brick it.. thats the hole point of the boot btn Sep 29 13:58:09 SD cards vary Sep 29 13:58:13 Try another SD card Sep 29 13:58:35 "now I get nothing even when the sd card is inserted" Sep 29 13:58:45 why you re-insert sd card? Sep 29 13:59:02 I'll try to start the bbb again with the sd card + boot button hit Sep 29 13:59:54 1 more thing is to unplug everything for at least 15 sec Sep 29 14:01:03 would a power supply that's 5.1v + .85A ok to use with BBB? Sep 29 14:01:29 thinking maybe it's my macbook's usb host not giving power for some reason Sep 29 14:02:57 no love Sep 29 14:02:59 it should be ok Sep 29 14:03:01 :-/ Sep 29 14:03:39 my only conclusion at this point is that maybe the imaging process wasn't complete yet? Sep 29 14:03:56 yea try reflashing it Sep 29 14:04:18 that's just it though, it will not boot to sdcard Sep 29 14:04:27 o Sep 29 14:04:35 simple enough right? just hold boot button while inserting usb power? Sep 29 14:04:40 take off all power.... and connectors Sep 29 14:04:50 insert sd Sep 29 14:05:21 insert just dc power While holding bootbtn for 15 sec Sep 29 14:05:37 if that fails Sep 29 14:05:58 reflash you SD card Sep 29 14:07:26 k' Sep 29 14:07:29 brb Sep 29 14:09:49 i have seen in a case that a non-sdhc 4gb cards fail and a 4gb sdhc will work ---- sometimes. like what speedevil said. they vary Sep 29 14:10:28 It's really fun - as SD cards are basically little teeny computers, all with their own ways of doing things and screwin gup Sep 29 14:10:40 lol Sep 29 14:11:06 4gb is always the medium for fail because of the non-sdhc / sdhc Sep 29 14:11:22 8gb are always sdhc :P Sep 29 14:11:41 as i can see ^_^ Sep 29 14:12:40 fwiw http://goo.gl/72UkMh Sep 29 14:12:58 thought I would "go for broke" Sep 29 14:13:22 its the xc1 that scares me :/ Sep 29 14:14:06 the 32gb look nice :) Sep 29 14:16:02 then this thing is bricked I suppose Sep 29 14:17:16 mkjackson try a different image... Sep 29 14:17:19 does the sd card image change if I just used it to flash/upgrade (meaning a re-flash would make a difference)? Sep 29 14:18:09 http://beagleboard.org/latest-images I used the middle one last time Sep 29 14:18:35 o lol Sep 29 14:18:52 theres a newer on then that 1 Sep 29 14:19:20 http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Updating_The_Software Sep 29 14:19:38 Production Image 2013.09.04 Sep 29 14:19:41 that that 1 Sep 29 14:19:47 try* Sep 29 14:21:43 i just created my own ubuntu image... its 3x faster then the armhf.com's image Sep 29 14:21:56 makes me wonder what else is in that image Sep 29 14:23:37 nodejs compile used 100% of my ram before, now its 70% Sep 29 14:29:40 sudo dd if=~/Downloads/BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m Sep 29 14:29:53 thought I would share how I flash it… see if you guys concur Sep 29 14:35:39 yea if /dev/rdisk1 is your sdcard Sep 29 14:38:40 yep ;-) Sep 29 14:49:48 no love Sep 29 14:49:51 just sits there Sep 29 14:51:47 mkjackson: you unpacked the image before flashing, right? Sep 29 14:54:02 if you mean that I unzipped before flashing then yes Sep 29 14:54:20 (don't mean to sound obtuse, just want to be sure) Sep 29 14:58:49 mkjackson, PM me :/ Sep 29 15:00:34 yeah, that's what I meant Sep 29 15:20:27 i guess he got it to work Sep 29 15:48:54 Is there a linux driver for IVA2.2 subsystem? Sep 29 17:08:10 is there any disadvantage to using the 3.2 kernel based android from TI? Sep 29 17:08:28 I noticed the 3.8 stuff is unaccelerated Sep 29 17:09:44 <_av500_> no Sep 29 17:09:56 i'm developing a 3.2 patch set to make things like the market and google apps work Sep 29 17:10:36 <_av500_> do google apps care for the kernel version? Sep 29 17:11:45 nope. I am also including SuperSU, nano and bash in the patch set, as well as Market Helper, which will enable the BBB to spoof being another device for the purposes of getting apps Sep 29 17:13:25 when its patched like this, it actually starts up like a tablet, including all the account setup questions. One part of it crashes, when it goes to detect the non-existent wifi. I have also noticed that wifi and bluetooth seem to be totally unavailable, which makes me think i'm getting the wrong one from TI Sep 29 17:13:42 the crash doesn't stop you from setting up tho Sep 29 17:14:04 it just says "Settings has crashed" and goes onto the next question Sep 29 17:15:09 I have wifi and bluetooth devices plugged into my hub.. one of them is a pure RT2800 chip that hasn't ever needed firmware on other distros and in fact is detected natively by both angstrom and debian Sep 29 17:15:24 so i'm not sure why android isn't seeing it Sep 29 17:16:27 does it see the hub? Sep 29 17:16:32 yep Sep 29 17:16:46 and my keyboard/mouse and the 32gb USB stick Sep 29 17:17:16 is it a powered hub? Sep 29 17:17:57 yep, it also powers the beaglebone. It provides 5v/4A Sep 29 17:19:07 mabe drivers are not built in but as modules Sep 29 17:19:49 i've noticed the lack of modprobe, and noticed there were two modules loaded.. Sep 29 17:19:58 but I can't actually find the modules yet Sep 29 17:20:44 so yea a custom kernel could fix it Sep 29 17:21:50 humm does android have a /etc/modules file? Sep 29 17:22:26 I didn't see one. insmod is present, but I cannot find those actual modules anywhere and wonder if they're in the initrd or something Sep 29 17:28:29 is there a way to take the prebuild 3.8 kernel and put it in andriod Sep 29 19:30:29 hi Sep 29 19:30:36 hi Sep 29 19:30:48 any one can help me Sep 29 19:31:43 one problem: How can i automaticly login beaglebone to consle. Sep 29 19:32:03 does anyone has experience on that? Sep 29 19:32:57 How can i automaticly login beaglebone to consle Sep 29 19:33:35 you can probably change getty to sh, if you wanted. Sep 29 19:34:04 i have remove the gdm service . Sep 29 19:34:44 and i reboot beagle bone , it reached to consle. i want to login automaticly. Sep 29 19:34:51 k, so you are doing this on the console? Sep 29 19:35:29 yes, Sep 29 19:35:37 /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/serial-getty@ttyO2.service ... ExecStart=-/sbin/getty -a root 115200 %I Sep 29 19:35:40 is what I did Sep 29 19:36:11 is login automaticly? Sep 29 19:36:20 though hdmi? Sep 29 19:36:25 this was via console Sep 29 19:37:09 i do here, like you said, it still need input username and passwd Sep 29 19:37:41 it is /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service that puts the login on the HMDI Sep 29 19:38:04 you could remove that. Sep 29 19:38:13 then you'd need to start-up sh on tty1 Sep 29 19:39:02 removing getty's: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd_FAQ Sep 29 19:41:51 i can understand why i need remove gtty. Sep 29 19:42:03 i can not understand Sep 29 19:42:18 getty is the program that is running on the terminal. Sep 29 19:42:34 it typically invokes /bin/login before giving you a shell... Sep 29 19:42:52 what you want to do is have a shell running on the terminal when you connect... Sep 29 19:42:59 at least that is what it sounds like you want. Sep 29 19:43:05 most getty versions can do that Sep 29 19:43:21 mru: do you know the argument? Sep 29 19:43:27 depends on the getty Sep 29 19:43:30 I see how to specify a login. Sep 29 19:43:43 I think it is busybox. Sep 29 19:43:44 i need run a program i write with QT -qws on beaglebone start up. Sep 29 19:43:45 agetty -a user Sep 29 19:43:50 if you use agetty... Sep 29 19:44:11 it is agetty and not busybox Sep 29 19:44:23 (symlinked) Sep 29 19:44:46 i find the easy way is let root automatic login and run the program Sep 29 19:45:10 you can also have init run stuff by adding a line to inittab Sep 29 19:45:21 if you are sane Sep 29 19:45:42 mru: yup, that works. Sep 29 19:46:04 but no inittab file in beaglebone board Sep 29 19:46:15 depends on what system you put on it Sep 29 19:46:20 you can still do it with systemd. Sep 29 19:46:23 angstrom Sep 29 19:46:35 but you probably have to write a java plugin or something Sep 29 19:46:36 * jkridner just tested with the Angstrom that ships with the board Sep 29 19:46:48 oh, that's eclipse Sep 29 19:46:53 systemd doesn't even have that Sep 29 19:47:00 edit /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service and add '-a root' to the end of the ExecStart line with getty Sep 29 19:47:20 and that's supposed to be better than inittab why? Sep 29 19:47:24 dunno Sep 29 19:47:27 first remove the gtty Sep 29 19:47:31 no... Sep 29 19:47:33 just use getty Sep 29 19:47:40 with '-a root', you'll login automatically Sep 29 19:48:19 now i try with my beagle bone pls wait. Sep 29 19:48:58 i output use hdmi. Sep 29 19:53:52 thanks a lot jkridner, it works. Sep 29 19:53:59 thank you very much. Sep 29 19:54:01 thank mru! Sep 29 19:54:20 Abama: blog/wiki posts appreciated Sep 29 19:54:48 and new where can i add somthing let it can run my program? Sep 29 19:54:56 and now where can i add somthing let it can run my program? Sep 29 19:55:10 http://mattrichardson.com/BeagleBone-System-Services/ Sep 29 19:55:32 all of what you are learning would make a great page on http://eLinux.org Sep 29 19:55:53 does your program need to output to the console? Sep 29 19:56:00 or, is it just a background service? Sep 29 19:56:13 no , it is a aplication. Sep 29 19:56:18 writen by QT Sep 29 19:56:26 no Sep 29 19:56:43 not need input / output to console. Sep 29 19:57:49 if it is the way you expect a user to interact with the console, you should probably disable the getty entirely. Sep 29 19:58:16 can't have two console apps fighting over the interface. Sep 29 19:58:18 no i don't need Sep 29 19:58:42 in linux 2.6 i just need add .bashrc is ok. but i can't find it . Sep 29 19:58:50 ah. Sep 29 19:59:17 how to do it. Sep 29 20:00:26 you can use .profile Sep 29 20:01:14 profile in the /home/root? Sep 29 20:01:23 yup Sep 29 20:01:28 .profile Sep 29 20:02:10 root@beaglebone:~# ls -al total 68 drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:12 . drwxr-sr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 29 2013 .. -rw------- 1 root root 330 Jan 1 00:00 .ICEauthority -rw------- 1 root root 136 Jan 1 00:06 .bash_history drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:01 .cache drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:01 .config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31 Jan 1 00:00 .dmrc drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 00:01 .gconf drwx----- Sep 29 20:02:19 no .profile Sep 29 20:02:22 make it! Sep 29 20:02:23 you can see that. Sep 29 20:02:33 vim .profile Sep 29 20:02:38 er... Sep 29 20:02:39 ok. Sep 29 20:02:40 nano .profile Sep 29 20:03:08 and then ? Sep 29 20:03:15 when you login, it'll run Sep 29 20:03:22 it is just a list of things to run at login Sep 29 20:03:31 jsut exec hello is ok? Sep 29 20:03:33 just like .bashrc, but for sh Sep 29 20:03:39 exec? Sep 29 20:03:56 how about start with "echo I'm alive" Sep 29 20:04:26 let me try. Sep 29 20:04:28 er, with the quote that is a bad idea :( Sep 29 20:04:44 try "echo Hello world" Sep 29 20:04:55 then, if your program is called 'hello', use './hello' Sep 29 20:06:08 yes it is out put the hello world output in my console. Sep 29 20:06:26 i write echo hello world in .profile. Sep 29 20:14:15 Abama: so, you good? Going to post what you learned on http://eLinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Start_Qt_App_on_boot ? Sep 29 20:15:44 jkridner yes, i try it now Sep 29 20:15:53 are you still there? Sep 29 20:15:58 yup Sep 29 20:16:14 ok, thank you very much. Sep 29 20:16:56 any info on how you created your app is also good. You documenting what you learn here makes it very much worth my time to help. Sep 29 20:17:15 pictures of it in action are always nice. :) Sep 29 20:18:49 oh, i just buy a beagle bone, and see video in youtube . and i want to try write a small program to test it . and i find lots of thing i can solve. Sep 29 20:18:58 oh, i just buy a beagle bone, and see video in youtube . and i want to try write a small program to test it . and i find lots of thing i can't solve. Sep 29 20:19:23 hopefully you are solving those working with us here. Sep 29 20:19:48 yes, i will tell you later. Sep 29 20:20:15 do you have experience program with QT ? Sep 29 20:26:25 a bit Sep 29 20:26:27 jkridner,still there? Sep 29 20:26:34 i got it works. Sep 29 20:26:40 i let it works. Sep 29 20:26:42 actually, that isn't quite right. I've done "hello world" type stuff with Qt and that is about it. Sep 29 20:26:44 so nice. Sep 29 20:27:19 can i show picture to you. Sep 29 20:27:38 but i don't know how to show you pic Sep 29 20:29:55 jkridner, thank you very much. you let me learn a lot from you . thank you . Sep 29 20:31:08 flickr, imgur, etc. are nice ways to share pics. elinux.org would be my desire, of course. Sep 29 20:33:26 i will do that? Sep 29 20:33:49 i will do that. and i think also how to change the logo of beaglebone. Sep 29 20:35:02 the one that shows at boot was compiled into the Linux kernel. Sep 29 20:36:31 you mean i need compile boot by myself? Sep 29 20:37:44 you'd need to recompile the kernel, yes. Sep 29 20:38:58 complie Kernel? that is too hard to me. Sep 29 20:40:16 i will try to learn hwo compile kernel with logo and still need suport touch screen, i just bought one, but not use it. Sep 29 21:07:30 hi folks, trying to connect to my BBB with ssh (gate one) , and it says : ssh_exchange_identification: connection closed by remote host Sep 29 21:07:37 anyone know what is the problem? thank you Sep 29 21:09:28 try another ssh client Sep 29 21:10:04 I tried with openssh client from my ubuntu machine, same error message Sep 29 21:11:03 How does one connect a USB to TTL Serial Cable to a BeagleBone Black? Sep 29 21:11:32 tdilly: ill tell you when mine works... Sep 29 21:11:40 in my day, ttl meant 5V... Sep 29 21:12:35 RypRap, look at the cable page 76 of beaglebone_black_srm_a52.pdf Sep 29 21:12:50 In my day, ttl meant cogwheels made out of stone. Sep 29 21:13:18 in my day, it meant time to live ;P Sep 29 21:29:30 nicboul: Thanks, looks like I got it working now Sep 29 21:30:17 excellent! Sep 29 23:41:57 how can I use i2c2 on beaglebone black? I'm using the latest angstrom image, but i only have /dev/i2c-{0,1} Sep 30 00:31:55 Howdy all Sep 30 00:32:25 anyone around? Sep 30 00:34:22 Howdy Sep 30 00:36:16 hey magyarm, do you know if it is possible to restore over usb? Sep 30 00:47:24 Anyone have Fedora 20 running on the BeagleBone Black? Sep 30 00:53:05 Howdy Sep 30 00:54:31 hey im new to the beaglebone/mc world...just got the beaglebone black and am trying to update to the latest angstrom release. Just wondering what the deal is with the img file being 4gb and the onboard mmc is only 2gb? does this mean if i choose to update the dist, i will be forced to boot off the sdcard instead of the mmc? Sep 30 00:55:07 Which img file are u using? Sep 30 00:58:43 Howdy kingemer2 Sep 30 01:30:38 Howdy, anyone active? Sep 30 02:04:18 Does BBB have Floating-Point Unit (vfpv3) ? Sep 30 02:42:22 anyone here has setup the beaglebone black using ipipe-jki kernel source & xenomai patch? Having problems when applying patchs, lots of errors (mostly saying "don't apply") Sep 30 02:43:35 following instructions @ https://github.com/sagarbehere/beaglebone-xenomai/blob/master/beaglebone-xenomai-debian.md ; only say to resolve conflicts before proceeding further Sep 30 02:47:51 error when running the apply-beaglebone-patches.sh script Sep 30 02:49:40 PRU issue: I'm running kernel 3.12.0-rc2-1-ARCH on BBB and I don't see any PRU entries in the .dts files. Is there another way to enable it now? Sep 30 02:56:01 able to compile kernel even with the warnings, disregard previous questions **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Sep 30 02:59:58 2013
