Oct 19 08:50:35 i am trying with browser Oct 19 08:51:27 in geeting started page i have seen to click on GateOne SSH client Oct 19 08:51:51 i have clicked on it Oct 19 08:52:35 i am not able to get sell Oct 19 08:53:04 i connected beaglebone to my laptop using usb input power Oct 19 08:55:24 [mrpackethead] plz help me to get shell Oct 19 09:05:52 http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=Terminal_Shells Oct 19 10:20:58 Can an eMMC flash be done from the latest bootable Angstrom image? Oct 19 10:22:12 Does the latest eMMC image include GateOne? Oct 19 10:27:08 there are flasher images and SD images Oct 19 10:35:28 dm8tbr: yes I understand that but since I only have one 4G card I wondered if it was possible to test an image by initially booting from the SD card and then flashing if all is ok. I imagined that maybe this was a common request. Oct 19 10:37:56 Hi I was working on beagle boen black. I want to take the backup of SD as a img.xz file so that i can use the same to flash on other sd cards or emmc Oct 19 10:38:14 how can i do that...is there any softwares available or any procedure Oct 19 10:38:14 deemo: I don't know. I'd just test with the SD image and then use the flasher image Oct 19 10:38:42 default: 'dd' and 'xz' Oct 19 10:40:31 Will the BBB boot from an SD card via a USB adapter? Oct 19 10:41:48 I was looking to create a image file from sd card..is xz and dd can be used?? Oct 19 11:02:48 hi all Oct 19 11:03:56 question: how do I configure ubuntu on the bbb to boot to consol, after I have installed the ubuntu desktop Oct 19 11:06:26 question: having already installed ubuntu-desktop on my bbb, how do I configure the bbb to boot to console instead of desktop? Oct 19 11:07:10 Hi i'm new to beaglebone i've bought a new unit from sparkfun rev a6B, I install USB drivers under win7 x64 but the device it's not recognized, been trying to search all over the net.. but there's nothing related to this revision. Oct 19 11:08:22 hi starter, I'm just here to ask a question too, but are you running 64 bit win 7? Oct 19 11:09:29 yup I'm running win7 64 bits, I assume it's a problem with signed drivers.. there's a workaround talking about VPID on the FTDI driver. Oct 19 11:09:33 but I don't want to mess around with it Oct 19 11:09:42 I tried to install drivers and use the bbb at work, but because of their security and lack of permissions it did not work. Oct 19 11:09:55 it worked fine at home on my win7 64 bit machine Oct 19 11:10:02 some people say installing code composer studio 5.1 from TI would solve the issue I guess cause drivers are certified. Oct 19 11:10:24 I can't really add anything to that. Oct 19 11:10:46 maybe you can help me with my question: Oct 19 11:11:00 question: having already installed ubuntu-desktop on my bbb, how do I configure the bbb to boot to console instead of desktop? Oct 19 11:11:34 honestly I'm not even actually being able to boot it ;) but I think beaglbone already does boot and have a SSH terminal fi you log on to it Oct 19 11:12:02 is this channel active? Oct 19 11:12:08 or it's better to post on the forum? Oct 19 11:12:21 Well I had it booting ubuntu fine. Noone else has said a work Oct 19 11:12:23 word Oct 19 11:12:48 I tried the forum, but my post did not appear. Do they have a waiting period after joining or soemthing? Oct 19 11:15:20 honestly I found this really annoying, I can't believe ppl who develop beaglbone don't even realize about this issue on drivers Oct 19 11:19:46 this channel is active all right Oct 19 11:20:34 personally I have no idea what is wrong with your drivers (I don't use windows) Oct 19 11:21:00 I get the impression that most advanced users here use some linux flavor on their desktops Oct 19 11:24:15 well this issue it's been all over the net. Oct 19 11:24:28 about the VID/PID on FTDI232H usb-serial issue Oct 19 12:03:22 sika9x9: I'm new to the BBB myself but this link may help: http://rolling-ubuntu.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/ubuntu-1204-tip-booting-to-text-mode.html Oct 19 12:10:00 beagle_starter: *possibly* related: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-BeagleBoneBlackAngstromusbnetworkingfailstoload Oct 19 12:49:49 'm trying to connect my new BBB to Motorolla Lapdock. I can see the splash screen but nothing happens afterwards. Black screen, cannot se X11. Board is working great with serial and ssh. Oct 19 17:08:48 Hi Folks, In BBB I have configured gpio ports according to https://github.com/nomel/beaglebone/tree/master/gpio-header but i have to use AIN (analog inputs) Oct 19 17:10:08 in that gpio generated files i did not find any files related to AIN1-6 (P9-33 to P9-40) please help me how can i export these ports in my sys folder Oct 19 17:13:34 Hi Folks, In BBB I have configured gpio ports according to https://github.com/nomel/beaglebone/tree/master/gpio-header but i have to use AIN (analog inputs) [22:40] in that gpio generated files i did not find any files related to AIN1-6 (P9-33 to P9-40) please help me how can i export these ports in my sys folder Oct 19 18:09:13 panto: good news, PWM, I2C, and SPI all seem to be working nicely on kernel 3.12 :) Oct 19 18:09:26 On the BeagleBone Black that is panto. Oct 19 21:53:17 trying to follow http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml to get a gentoo system up and running Oct 19 21:53:30 when i try boot i get absolutely nothing on the serial console Oct 19 21:53:44 the leds blink a bit then nothing else Oct 19 21:54:52 every single image i try to create following any "howto" results in a brick Oct 19 21:57:28 http://angstrom.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/beaglebone/index.html <-- go here and click on any of the linked files reports an xml error Oct 19 21:57:32 does not download the file Oct 19 21:59:00 hm why not trying this? http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBone#Image_Files Oct 19 22:00:33 i dont have beagle bone. i have a beagle board xm Oct 19 22:00:42 o.O Oct 19 22:00:49 -> 23:53 < mark4> trying to follow http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/beaglebone/install.xml Oct 19 22:00:56 yes i know Oct 19 22:01:09 http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoard-xM#Image_Files Oct 19 22:01:23 i was told taht SHOULD work on this board byt u guess not Oct 19 22:01:46 ok that image file on that site.. is that the DEMO image? Oct 19 22:01:59 i have the demo flash card unmodified from when i got the board Oct 19 22:02:02 maybee Oct 19 22:02:07 thats not a very usefull boot. Oct 19 22:02:41 im trying to get a full blown linux desktop created. i have one that i copied from work but any that i create... brick Oct 19 22:03:14 use the kernel and install ubuntu Oct 19 22:03:36 ubuntu is no good for me. thats the one i have. i cannot run DDD on the board Oct 19 22:03:54 thats my SINGLE use case for this board. run ddd on it to debug my code Oct 19 22:04:27 the only thing im interested in is running ddd on the beagle board xm to debug arm code i wrote months ago. Oct 19 22:04:39 i dont care what distro it is just that i can run ddd. Oct 19 22:05:00 *sigh* in this 24 hours you should have learned how to use gdb from commanlinde easily Oct 19 22:05:29 or using gdbserver Oct 19 22:05:46 woglinde, dood gdb by itself is NOT a good solution. it CAN NOT display all the info i need in a way that makes all the info available in an instant Oct 19 22:05:48 single step Oct 19 22:06:12 mark4 lol, hwo do you thing ddd does it? Oct 19 22:06:22 magic ward? Oct 19 22:06:25 i need to have CONTEXT on the code im single stepping. only being able to see a page of info puke and the ONE OPCODE i just eecute is unmanagable Oct 19 22:06:38 ddd takes all the info and PRESENTS it in a way that is actually readable Oct 19 22:07:09 write your cmdline interface and peek the ddd code how to format it Oct 19 22:07:14 +own Oct 19 22:07:17 i need to see context on the code im stepping. seeing puke scroll up the display followed by a register dump followed by a memory dump followed by a disassembly of ONE OPCODE. does not help Oct 19 22:07:55 instead of telling me i need to spend the time to develop a new user interface for gdb how about we get a system on my target that can run DDD Oct 19 22:08:59 i have no interest what so ever in even LOOKING at any of the sources related to gdb, i know without looking that they are going to be a complete and utter cluster *$&@ of unreadable RMS code. Oct 19 22:09:03 lol Oct 19 22:09:19 srsly, the i just need a working boot that can run ddd Oct 19 22:09:28 this should not be that difficult to achieve Oct 19 22:09:50 okay we will talk in 7 days again Oct 19 22:09:58 yet i cant even create a bootable system no matter WHAT distro i try Oct 19 22:10:23 ive downloaded the fedora core whatever for this board specifically. a FULL IMAGE. burn it... boot... no serial console output. no boot Oct 19 22:10:30 and again whats wrong with gdbserver? Oct 19 22:10:36 run ddd on your host Oct 19 22:10:41 how about dont try to help because thats obviously your preference Oct 19 22:11:19 tried it. cant get that to work. do not want to fight with gnu development tools, want to debug my OWN development tools so i can DEVELOP with them Oct 19 22:11:37 o.O Oct 19 22:11:52 just want a system that will run ddd. im not interested in any other solutions... tho... if i had the $2000 i would buy an update to my IDA license Oct 19 22:12:13 and use ITS built in debugger Oct 19 22:13:13 better do this Oct 19 22:15:40 last hint from me use the kernel from the angstroem demo images and use deboostrap and install armhf on the sddisk second partition Oct 19 22:17:00 when using debootstrap on your host not all stuff will be configured proably but thats easy to fix Oct 19 22:21:48 i tried using the demo /boot with my own cards after they refused to do anything at all on boot. Oct 19 22:22:01 the demo /boot didnt work. Oct 19 22:22:10 other than on the demo card itself Oct 19 22:22:36 i would like to see a howto for ANY distribution that runs on the beagle board that will produce a BOOTABLE system Oct 19 22:22:41 than you have formated them wrong Oct 19 22:22:44 no Oct 19 22:22:53 i used the script to create it Oct 19 22:23:05 not that i need to do that, i know how to format a flash card as vfat Oct 19 22:23:17 anybody here used the build_deb.sh kernel build script from Robert Nelson ? Oct 19 22:23:32 than you did not copy MLO to it Oct 19 22:23:40 yes i did Oct 19 22:23:51 I'm cross-compiling from x86 to arm, i can create and install the .deb files , but the kernel goes into /boot instead of /boot/uboot Oct 19 22:23:56 MLO should also be the very first file you copy on the boot partition Oct 19 22:23:58 mark4 did you connect a serial console? Oct 19 22:24:05 http://parasense.fedorapeople.org/ <--- downloaded a couple of those, no boot Oct 19 22:24:11 woglinde, yes. no output at all Oct 19 22:24:28 leds flash once or twice then stop flashing. no output to console at all Oct 19 22:24:32 did you copy over the MLO from your workin card? Oct 19 22:24:39 yes Oct 19 22:24:50 what cards did you test? Oct 19 22:24:50 i notice that the tools/install_kernel.sh runs 'sudo mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a ...' , shouldn't the .deb package do the same ? Oct 19 22:25:12 woglinde, what do yu mean what cards? Oct 19 22:25:17 sdcards Oct 19 22:25:27 maybe you have shitty ones Oct 19 22:25:33 i have 3 or 4 cards. all but one of them are 4 gigs. one is 8 gigs Oct 19 22:25:40 not spec conform Oct 19 22:25:43 i have a sandisk Oct 19 22:26:03 cannt believe it Oct 19 22:26:12 that only one card works Oct 19 22:26:24 only sandisk cards work? Oct 19 22:26:34 ooh Oct 19 22:26:39 you told me you only have one card working Oct 19 22:26:46 no i have two images that work, the one that came with it Oct 19 22:26:49 and one i got from work Oct 19 22:26:56 okay Oct 19 22:27:00 it doesnt matter which card i burn them to Oct 19 22:27:02 thats fine Oct 19 22:27:07 neither is of any use to me Oct 19 22:27:52 so use one and use deboostrap for ubuntu armhf on the second partition of the card Oct 19 22:28:21 you should make a new fs ofcourse on the second partition Oct 19 22:28:29 and copy the kernel on the first Oct 19 22:28:55 dont understand. im not a debian user so im not following you Oct 19 22:29:08 okay that was my last try to help you Oct 19 22:29:20 k Oct 19 22:29:20 good luck getting something work Oct 19 22:29:50 you gave a suggestion. i state that i dont understand it so you say ok fuck it Oct 19 22:29:53 whatever Oct 19 22:30:18 -> im not a debian user so im not following you Oct 19 22:30:31 correct. i did not understand what you were telling me to do Oct 19 22:30:46 im a gentoo user so i dont know what debootstrap is Oct 19 22:30:50 for example Oct 19 22:31:01 oh you miss understookd Oct 19 22:31:09 that wasnt "im not following your instructions" Oct 19 22:31:15 its "i dont understand your instructions" Oct 19 22:31:30 "im not following you" is an expression meaning "i do not understand" Oct 19 22:31:36 not "no i wont do that" Oct 19 22:31:45 mark4 I am not giving you step by step instructions Oct 19 22:31:55 k Oct 19 22:32:00 there are enough material for debootstrap on the net Oct 19 22:32:32 but okay I see the problem that you dont have a debian or ubuntu installed Oct 19 22:33:02 thats not a problem. its a solution. Oct 19 22:33:12 but anyway Oct 19 22:33:20 ubuntu is a "it just works (tm)" distribution, gentoo is not Oct 19 22:33:26 ubuntu is great when it does work Oct 19 22:33:33 your royally FUCKED when it does not Oct 19 22:33:37 in this case it does not Oct 19 22:33:38 o.O Oct 19 22:34:02 ddd runs but enters into an infinite "waiting for gdb to get ready" state Oct 19 22:34:13 strace shows it getting infinite EAGAIN on some socket call Oct 19 22:34:35 im not about to debug why it does not work thats up to the devs if they give a damn Oct 19 22:34:43 as I know ddd is not maintained anymore anyway Oct 19 22:34:45 im going to find something that DOES work Oct 19 22:35:25 oh uh Oct 19 22:35:31 it got a new maintainer Oct 19 22:35:48 thats what i suspected. but that doesnt mean he/she has released any fixes yet Oct 19 22:36:33 no commit since 4 years Oct 19 22:36:42 hopefully he abandons the fred flintstone toolkit and upgrades it to gtk or qt Oct 19 22:37:13 i suspect it will take the new maintainer a while to get his head around that source base. Oct 19 22:37:26 he only picked it up at the beginning of the year Oct 19 23:30:14 hi can someone help a noob? Oct 19 23:31:49 do i need an sdcard in the bbb in order to install some new software to emmc? can the emmc be written to after the flash without the sdcard?

Oct 20 00:39:26 I have win7 professional (english version) Oct 20 00:39:37 My board is A6a.... Oct 20 00:40:16 the problem is, this tutorial is just for the black board: http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm Oct 20 00:40:57 stefan___: whats up? Oct 20 00:41:41 my usb connection doesn"t work... Oct 20 00:41:56 which board? Oct 20 00:42:01 A6a Oct 20 00:42:09 Win 7 professional... Oct 20 00:42:20 eh? Oct 20 00:42:36 what are you trying to do? Oct 20 00:43:07 i wanna install the drivers, like that: http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm Oct 20 00:43:20 but this is just for the black board.... my board is white.... Oct 20 00:43:40 ahh Oct 20 00:44:04 unfortunately i'm exclusively linux and os x Oct 20 00:45:23 my Browse to your Beagle doesn't work... Oct 20 00:46:02 i have no access to http://192.168.7.2 Oct 20 00:46:11 see: http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started Oct 20 00:46:29 (this should be the right tutorial for the white board) Oct 20 00:48:15 Beaglebone Black: Can I boot straight from a 64GB USB Thumbdrive,by passing the microSD? Oct 20 00:48:54 stefan___: the obvious would be .. did you install the drivers and try a reboot? Oct 20 00:49:52 oh nm Oct 20 00:50:57 i installed the driver, but if I go to 'Device Manager', I can that the drivers aren't correct installed. I tried to reinstall, but it didn't work again.... Oct 20 00:51:55 I need a driver for win7 professional. I think the driver on this homepage are not for win7 : http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started Oct 20 00:55:15 where is the driver located for beaglebone at win7? Oct 20 00:55:39 The problem is, the driver is installing, but I have no opportunity to set the driver's location.... Oct 20 00:56:32 Hello, I'm trying to verify that the BeagleBoard Black has RS232 serial headers on board - and whether they include a handshake line. CD or RI will do, it just needs to be able to handle 1PPS from a GPS. Oct 20 01:05:41 I have a BBB how do I get it to boot from the card only? Oct 20 01:07:05 all i get is 3 blue lights. Can't get it to boot Oct 20 01:11:02 hi, i have tried this getting startet: http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started Oct 20 01:11:26 but i could not login into the webserver at 192.168.7.2 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Oct 20 02:59:58 2013
