**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 20 02:59:58 2013
Oct 20 03:57:49 <mark4> has anyone here actually created a bootable flash card using ANY online tutorial and gotten anything that can actually boot?
Oct 20 03:57:55 <mark4> ANY tutorial
Oct 20 03:58:10 <mark4> on a beagle board xm
Oct 20 04:08:08 <mark4> http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/ti/beagleboard-xm  <--- following this.  boot fails
Oct 20 04:08:14 <mark4> all i get is the "60" message
Oct 20 04:08:20 <mark4> NOTHING boots wtf
Oct 20 04:27:33 <Biodragon> i'm still waiting for me to get my BBB next week tuesday ;/
Oct 20 04:42:02 <ptan> Is there any way (just for testing) to disable all interrupts temporarily in C on the BBB?
Oct 20 06:28:55 <mark4> would be FUCKING NICE if the people who put togehter howtos for installing whatever distro onto a beagle board fucking told you that MLO absolutely has to be the FIRS FILE written to /boot
Oct 20 06:29:01 <mark4> NOBODY fucking tells you that
Oct 20 06:29:12 <mark4> funny. none of you told me that either
Oct 20 06:29:13 <mark4> ty
Oct 20 06:35:14 <vagrantc> mark4: maybe you should write one...
Oct 20 06:38:57 <mark4> im thinking the people who DO write them should give all the VITAL information
Oct 20 06:39:13 <mark4> you know... it WONT WORK unless you DO THIS...
Oct 20 06:39:37 <winocm> i thought that was also written in the TRM
Oct 20 06:39:59 <mark4> the only link i ever saw to the TRM was a broken link
Oct 20 06:40:36 <mark4> plus. not every end user should have to be a kernel guru
Oct 20 06:42:24 <mark4> in fact that one broken link to the TRM is the only place i ever saw giving it a mention
Oct 20 06:43:01 <dm8tbr> mark4: MLO doesn't need to be the first file unless you have some really ancient version
Oct 20 06:43:38 <mark4> well every boot ive ever created, even following the step by step instructions has given me a solid BRICK every time
Oct 20 06:44:34 <dm8tbr> maybe you ran into the FAT sector problem instead
Oct 20 06:45:04 <mark4> what is the fat sector problem
Oct 20 06:45:25 <dm8tbr> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.beagleboard.user/15307
Oct 20 06:46:39 <mark4> well i usually use a supplied script to partiton and format the flash card
Oct 20 06:46:54 <dm8tbr> which doesn't shield you from this problem AFAIR
Oct 20 06:47:12 <mark4> ugh. then this could be it
Oct 20 06:47:41 <dm8tbr> what 'copying MLO first' does is: it ends up in a hard coded position on the block device that is being checked by ROMBL
Oct 20 06:48:42 <dm8tbr> as you can boot from a block device without having a fat partition, as long as you put that MLO _exactly_ there
Oct 20 06:48:53 <mark4> how do i guarantee creating a "valid" boot partiton?
Oct 20 06:49:12 <dm8tbr> read the link, it describes how to check
Oct 20 06:49:13 <mark4> the link you supplied just has a listing for an app that will check that it is.
Oct 20 06:49:46 <mark4> how to CHECK. not "how to create" - is there a way to guarantee creating a valid boot or do you have to keep trying and get pot luck?
Oct 20 06:50:40 <dm8tbr> simple and evident: create a partition that has an EVEN number of cylinders, then mkfs.vfat has no other option but to match
Oct 20 06:51:25 <dm8tbr> the other way (that's how we discovered the whole problem): format the FAT partition using windows, as that will _always_ make it match. Violating the FAT spec IIRC.
Oct 20 06:52:12 <mark4> lol
Oct 20 06:52:28 <mark4> pity i cannot give my mmc port to my windows 7 vbox
Oct 20 06:52:32 <mark4> its not a usb device
Oct 20 06:53:00 <dm8tbr> also don't forget to mark the FAT partition active
Oct 20 06:53:05 <mark4> ya
Oct 20 06:53:46 <winocm> ya
Oct 20 06:53:49 <_av500_> ya
Oct 20 06:53:55 <dm8tbr> badabadu
Oct 20 07:47:51 <mark4> very carfully created a /boot and /. ran the check program and it passes mbr and bpl both give same size
Oct 20 07:47:57 <mark4> boot = no output. no boot
Oct 20 07:48:03 <mark4> another BRICK
Oct 20 07:52:01 <desaster> in the wall
Oct 20 07:54:41 <dm8tbr> and your MLO comes from where and is how old?
Oct 20 08:16:35 <dm8tbr> I thought, since this was solved long before the BBW, that there wouldn't be a MLO around that would have the stupid 63 limitation
Oct 20 08:29:35 <SyNko> Is possible to brick a BBB? I through that is always possible to recover it by a sd boot...
Oct 20 08:43:12 <dm8tbr> SyNko: he uses the XDA definition of 'bricked'
Oct 20 08:43:26 <dm8tbr> which means: easily fixed if you have a clue
Oct 20 08:44:44 <SyNko> ah ok, thanks dm8tbr!
Oct 20 08:45:03 <KotH> greetings dog lovers!
Oct 20 09:08:01 <babar> hi
Oct 20 09:09:01 <babar> some one tell me where can I buy the board
Oct 20 09:14:03 <KotH> babar: http://beagleboard.org/buy
Oct 20 09:14:18 <KotH> babar: if you would have used google, you could have found the answer in a second
Oct 20 09:36:58 <mrpackethead> KotH: you can buy a beagleboard from me
Oct 20 09:37:25 <mrpackethead> KotH: I'll sell you five for $20, plus a bar of the finest swiss chocolate.
Oct 20 13:22:27 <Anand> hi
Oct 20 13:22:35 <Anand> how is all doing
Oct 20 13:22:59 <Anand> I just received my BBB in post
Oct 20 13:23:28 <Anand> plugged it in the power led comes up but nothing happens all other leds doesnot glow
Oct 20 13:23:45 <Anand> do anybody know how can i get my board replaced
Oct 20 13:23:46 <Anand> ?
Oct 20 13:24:00 <woglinde> frist connect serial console and look at the output
Oct 20 13:24:19 <Anand> how do connect serial console
Oct 20 13:24:20 <Anand> ?
Oct 20 13:24:24 <Anand> minicom ?
Oct 20 13:26:30 <Anand> ohh are you refering to J1 connector ?

Oct 20 14:26:47 <ranjani> hi
Oct 20 14:33:29 <ranjani_> hello
Oct 20 14:33:40 <ranjani_> hi
Oct 20 14:36:09 <ranjani_> can anyone help me out? im stuck with installation of opencv for image processing application
Oct 20 14:36:53 <_av500_> state your isue
Oct 20 14:36:55 <ranjani_> i tried to install opencv2.4.6 in windows with eclipse kepler as well as vc++10
Oct 20 14:36:57 <_av500_> that always helps
Oct 20 14:37:13 <ranjani_> but nothing helpful
Oct 20 14:37:47 <ranjani_> in eclipse, i had probs like semantic error, path not found etc
Oct 20 14:37:47 <_av500_> ?
Oct 20 14:37:59 <_av500_> this channel is about the beagleboard
Oct 20 14:38:04 <_av500_> and the beaglebone
Oct 20 14:38:08 <_av500_> not about windows
Oct 20 14:38:14 <ranjani_> s, im trying opencv in beagle bone
Oct 20 14:38:30 <DagoRed> I don't think you are to be perfectly honest.
Oct 20 14:38:52 <_av500_> state your isue
Oct 20 14:38:56 <_av500_> that always helps
Oct 20 14:38:58 <woglinde> hi av500
Oct 20 14:39:01 <DagoRed> ranjani_: Try running opencv on linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, etc..)
Oct 20 14:39:26 <ranjani_> cant we start compilation in windows?
Oct 20 14:40:07 <ranjani_> i hav an image processing application to be done with beagle bone black
Oct 20 14:40:27 <DagoRed> Start compilation in windows? No, in fact you can't start compiling binaries on any platform other than another ARM v7a board.
Oct 20 14:40:39 <_av500_> of course he can
Oct 20 14:40:51 <_av500_> google cross compilation
Oct 20 14:40:59 <_av500_> but for simplicity, do it on the beagle
Oct 20 14:41:04 * DagoRed nods
Oct 20 14:41:13 <_av500_> again, what is the issue?
Oct 20 14:41:14 <ranjani_> please suggest how to start with. I tried installing opencv in windows pc to check programs
Oct 20 14:41:36 <DagoRed> ranjani_: Talk to people in the opencv channel.
Oct 20 14:41:45 <_av500_> we cannot help you to install opencv on windows
Oct 20 14:41:50 <_av500_> but others can
Oct 20 14:41:53 <_av500_> as suggested
Oct 20 14:42:19 <ranjani_> sir, please tel me whether can i do it in windows or i should do only in linux
Oct 20 14:43:07 <_av500_> I guess you can
Oct 20 14:43:14 <_av500_> again, this is not an opencv help channel
Oct 20 14:43:18 <ranjani_> thank u sir.
Oct 20 14:43:21 <_av500_> and no sir please
Oct 20 14:43:27 <DagoRed> ranjani_: Please ask your questions in the OpenCV channel. Just because we run linux and help out with a platform doesn't mean we are fluent every library available.
Oct 20 14:45:13 <KotH> mrpackethead: now, that's expensive!
Oct 20 14:45:28 <KotH> mrpackethead: 10chf and regular bar of swiss chocolate
Oct 20 14:47:10 <woglinde> looks like dagored entered the fight
Oct 20 14:48:14 <woglinde> hm tasty apple pie
Oct 20 14:51:55 <KotH> .o0(have to go to berlin and rob woglinde of his pie)
Oct 20 14:53:37 <woglinde> koth I am willing will give you some
Oct 20 14:54:29 <_av500_> upload on dropbox
Oct 20 15:06:04 <hitesh> hello. i am using windows 8 64 bit os but when i am installing beagle bone black driver it is not getting installed so can anyone suggest me a solution.
Oct 20 15:08:36 <_av500_> this has been discussed in the past on the mailing list
Oct 20 15:08:40 <_av500_> there is also a fix
Oct 20 15:08:47 <_av500_> google beeaglebone 64 bit drivers
Oct 20 15:57:16 <BeagleGithub> [kernel] RobertCNelson pushed 1 new commit to 3.12: http://git.io/vVZCwg
Oct 20 15:57:16 <BeagleGithub> kernel/3.12 9bcad46 Robert Nelson: 3.12: update to v3.12-rc6...
Oct 20 16:58:45 <XorA> Crofton|work: I may not survive until weds, MTB today was tough!
Oct 20 17:23:35 <mark4> well i can SORT of get this to boot now. but only with one of my canned kernels. i follow a kernel build howto and im getting a bad linux arm zimage magic. any ideas why im getting that?
Oct 20 17:25:29 <woglinde> wrong kernel wrong u-boot?
Oct 20 17:30:30 <mark4> i wasnt rebuilding u-boot yet
Oct 20 17:30:57 <woglinde> why do you need to rebuild the kernel at all?
Oct 20 17:31:50 <mark4> lol good question
Oct 20 17:31:59 <mark4> force of habit. i always genkernel all --menuconfig
Oct 20 17:32:07 <mark4> well i skip the config till after im up and running
Oct 20 17:36:10 <mark4> but using a canned one would make more sense
Oct 20 17:37:59 <Crofton|work> XorA, If I can get my errnads done, I hoep to get a ride in before I leave
Oct 20 17:38:52 <XBone> How can I copy Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img.xz to my sdcard "I tried to use xz -cd [file] /dev/mmcblk0p1"
Oct 20 17:40:14 <XBone> after runned that command show a lot of numbre and characters but dont write nithing into my memory
Oct 20 17:46:35 <woglinde> XBone read the man page of xz how to decompress it
Oct 20 17:50:58 <woglinde> XBone and than you can use the command dd to get it on your sdcard
Oct 20 17:51:09 <woglinde> but be sure you are doing right
Oct 20 17:51:20 <woglinde> otherwise you will format your host stuff
Oct 20 17:52:47 <XBone> woglinde: do I have to umount before it ?
Oct 20 17:53:04 <woglinde> yes
Oct 20 17:53:22 <woglinde> you should not use dd on stuff which is mounted
Oct 20 17:53:36 <XBone> okay
Oct 20 17:59:34 <mark4> i usually use pv for these to give a progress
Oct 20 18:00:48 <mark4> pv flashimage.img | dd conv=sparse /dev/FLASH_DEVICE bs=XXXX <-- 1024M is ok for block size
Oct 20 18:05:55 <XBone> woglinde: I umont but  still not doing nothing
Oct 20 18:07:14 <mark4> what is your image file called
Oct 20 18:07:59 <mark4> xbone what is the exact file name of the image you are trying to burn to your flash card
Oct 20 18:08:56 <XBone> mark4: Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img.xz
Oct 20 18:09:19 <mark4> sy xz -d Angstromg<tab>
Oct 20 18:09:26 <mark4> first decompress the image file
Oct 20 18:09:35 <mark4> tell me when you have done that
Oct 20 18:09:40 <mark4> say xz -d i mean
Oct 20 18:09:46 <mark4> xz -d Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img.xz
Oct 20 18:10:00 <mark4> will give you a new file called Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img  <-- no .xz on the end of it
Oct 20 18:11:44 <XBone> mark4: xz: Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.12-beaglebone-2013.09.05.img.xz: Unexpected end of input
Oct 20 18:12:20 <mark4> thats your problem
Oct 20 18:12:26 <mark4> the file did not download fully
Oct 20 18:12:37 <mark4> delete the file and download it again
Oct 20 18:13:26 <XBone> mark4: I have another file now is descomp
Oct 20 18:13:45 <mark4> ok we need to find out what device your flash card is on
Oct 20 18:14:06 <mark4> do you know how to use paste sites?
Oct 20 18:14:45 <mark4> i need to see the output of cat /proc/partions but not in this channel
Oct 20 18:14:50 <mark4> you need to paste it somewhere
Oct 20 18:15:19 <mark4> do cat /proc/partitons > foo
Oct 20 18:15:27 <mark4> then go to pastebin.com and upload foo
Oct 20 18:16:01 <mark4> or if you have wgetpaste say wgetpaste foo and give me the URL it tells you
Oct 20 18:18:04 <XBone> mark4: the other file is damages I have to download again
Oct 20 18:18:16 <mark4> ill be leaving soon
Oct 20 18:18:27 <mark4> someone else will have to help
Oct 20 18:26:56 <bminuk> anyone know where the default pin drive setup (high/low on boot) for beaglebone black is documented in a human readable way?)
Oct 20 18:28:09 <bminuk> Reading dts' is not my forte..
Oct 20 20:31:25 <brm> anyone know what I have to include in my image to get compiler support on the target board?
Oct 20 20:33:39 <Goge> g'day everyone.
Oct 20 20:35:06 <Goge> I'm starting a project for saltwater aquarium monitoring and ultimately automation.  Checking things like water level, salinity, pH levels, oxygenation levels....
Oct 20 20:35:20 <_av500_> good
Oct 20 20:35:40 <Goge> If I'm storing all this data and logging it, what database can I keep on the BBB that will scale?
Oct 20 20:35:54 <_av500_> sqlite?
Oct 20 20:36:00 <_av500_> scale to what level?
Oct 20 20:36:05 <_av500_> every aquarium on the planet?
Oct 20 20:36:24 <Goge> well... readings every minute, over time I assume that's going to be a lot of records
Oct 20 20:36:57 <brm> anyone know what I have to include in my image to get compiler support on the target board?
Oct 20 20:37:10 <DoritosMan> SQLite is actually pretty good
Oct 20 20:37:22 <_av500_> brm: angstrom?
Oct 20 20:38:00 <Goge> cool. simple enough. just wanted to make sure I wasn't walking down the wrong path
Oct 20 20:38:34 <DoritosMan> I know a few video games that use SQLite for local databases and it's fine
Oct 20 20:39:06 <Goge> ya we use sqlite at work for ios apps without problems
Oct 20 20:39:23 <Goge> untill we got to multi million records.
Oct 20 20:39:36 <brm> @_av500_: No, custom Yocto build ..
Oct 20 20:39:44 <_av500_> yocto what?
Oct 20 20:39:58 <_av500_> yocto is not a distribution
Oct 20 20:40:07 <brm> Yocto is the build system that Angstom uses ..
Oct 20 20:40:13 <_av500_> no
Oct 20 20:40:14 <_av500_> angstrom uses OE
Oct 20 20:40:22 <brm> oh, ok
Oct 20 20:40:43 <brm> same question though, what package do I install to get compiler support on the target
Oct 20 20:40:56 <Goge> Anyone know of any automation projects out there with the source available? I'd like to see how they architected it and what the general project layout looks like.
Oct 20 20:42:28 <brm> @_av500_: ??
Oct 20 20:43:27 <DoritosMan> Goge, if you already don't know. Using a Class 10 or one of those SanDisk Ultra MicroSD cards would help a lot
Oct 20 20:45:04 <Goge> DoritosMan: I'll keep that in mind.  The disk read/write was a little bit of a concern.
Oct 20 20:45:29 <DoritosMan> Yeah, the SanDisk Ultra/Extreme actually have really good write speeds
Oct 20 20:45:33 <DoritosMan> for a MicroSD card
Oct 20 20:46:48 <DoritosMan> The ultra has about a 30MB/s speed
Oct 20 20:46:54 <thurgood> the ultras and better I think are somewhat limited by the interface though
Oct 20 20:47:03 <brm> @_av500_: Found it: packagegroup-core-buildessential
Oct 20 20:47:10 <_av500_> :)
Oct 20 20:47:15 <thurgood> interface being the beagle's interface
Oct 20 20:47:24 <DoritosMan> Yeah, that's the only concern I have
Oct 20 20:47:43 <_av500_> expect ~20MB/s
Oct 20 20:47:43 <DoritosMan> But you can pick them up at BestBuy/Amazon usually for the same price as other lower end MicroSD cards
Oct 20 20:47:46 <_av500_> on any interface
Oct 20 20:47:54 <_av500_> sd, USB
Oct 20 20:47:55 <_av500_> eth
Oct 20 20:48:15 <_av500_> ok, less on eth
Oct 20 20:50:18 <DoritosMan> but that shouldn't be too bad for a single user DB
Oct 20 20:51:46 <Goge> so should the automation library be the one who handles requests then or could the webpage/viewer poll the db directly?
Oct 20 20:56:30 <m_billybob> im gettign 17.68 Megabytes /second with a samsung. someone else on the list has an ultra ( think it may be RCN) and he seemed to be hovering around 17-18MB/s too
Oct 20 20:56:48 <_av500_> as I said :)
Oct 20 20:56:54 <_av500_> I got 20 with a usb hdd
Oct 20 20:57:11 <Goge> Wasn't there a brewing automation project?
Oct 20 20:57:30 <m_billybob> 21MB/s here with USB HDD for writes only
Oct 20 20:57:37 <_av500_> there a robot drinks mixer
Oct 20 20:57:40 <m_billybob> read == ~10.6
Oct 20 20:57:49 <_av500_> m_billybob: MFM or RLL?
Oct 20 20:58:00 <m_billybob> PATA seagate barracuda
Oct 20 20:58:39 <m_billybob> crappy external case though so wouldnt be surprised if thsoe numbers went up with a decent one
Oct 20 20:59:48 <m_billybob> still prefer netboot though. just becauseit is more flexable for me right now
Oct 20 21:05:04 <_av500_> to each his own :)
Oct 20 21:06:39 <Yasirk> Hello there, am working on a project where i need to connect a camera and stream video/audio over wifi. Is the radiumboard camera cape the best way to go?
Oct 20 21:07:12 <Yasirk> If i dont want to use the cape, what components/parts do i need? Camera module? Sensor?
Oct 20 21:09:00 <_av500_> never heard of radium
Oct 20 21:09:54 <Yasirk> wwwradiumboards.com seem to have a camera cape. What do you use av500?
Oct 20 21:10:39 <_av500_> I dont use a camera at all
Oct 20 21:10:43 <_av500_> yes, see the site
Oct 20 21:10:46 <_av500_> 49 sounds nice
Oct 20 21:10:50 <_av500_> $49
Oct 20 21:11:07 <_av500_> note that the cape will capture video, but not compress it
Oct 20 21:11:13 <_av500_> youd have to do that in SW
Oct 20 21:11:16 <_av500_> on the A8
Oct 20 21:11:26 <_av500_> which will not be realtime for 720p
Oct 20 21:11:36 <_av500_> BBB is not really a video board
Oct 20 21:11:52 <_av500_> you might look at a USB camera that already gives you H264
Oct 20 21:12:03 <SpeedEvil> The Pi may work better.
Oct 20 21:12:07 <SpeedEvil> With its camera module
Oct 20 21:12:14 <_av500_> and hw encoder
Oct 20 21:12:19 <SpeedEvil> And ha...
Oct 20 21:12:23 <_av500_> as said
Oct 20 21:12:31 <_av500_> BBB is not a video board
Oct 20 21:13:32 <Yasirk> Hmmm.
Oct 20 21:13:49 <Yasirk> HD isn't very important to me as such.
Oct 20 21:13:51 <_av500_> .mmmH
Oct 20 21:14:18 <Yasirk> What is the BBB's core strength?
Oct 20 21:14:49 <_av500_> IO
Oct 20 21:14:51 <_av500_> lots
Oct 20 21:15:01 <_av500_> and a decently fast CPU
Oct 20 21:15:06 <_av500_> but not for video processing
Oct 20 21:15:26 <Yasirk> my project involved connecting about 3-5 sensors plus Audio/Video streaming over a network
Oct 20 21:15:30 <Yasirk> involves*
Oct 20 21:15:38 <_av500_> as said
Oct 20 21:15:43 <_av500_> get a camera that encodes
Oct 20 21:16:36 <Yasirk> Got it. Any particular recommendations on USB cameras that are under $100 which will encode H.264?
Oct 20 21:23:30 <_av500_> Yasirk: google :)
Oct 20 21:26:29 <Yasirk> :)
Oct 20 21:26:34 <Yasirk> thx, l8r
Oct 20 22:15:06 <N2TOH> what is the refresh rate when running 1280x720 on the BBB
Oct 20 22:17:31 <_av500_> 60
Oct 20 22:19:43 <N2TOH> thank you, I also just located it
Oct 20 22:20:01 <N2TOH> oh well guess I will have to use the RPi with the CastAR system
Oct 20 22:34:20 <_av500_> you need more than 60 fps?
Oct 20 22:58:54 <malcom2073> videophiles?
Oct 20 22:59:47 <thurgood> 3d vision?
Oct 20 23:05:38 <_av500_> and 4G
Oct 20 23:05:46 <_av500_> and 5 nines
Oct 20 23:28:24 <mfny> prpplague: hi, thought id find you over here as well as in the minnow room. you mentioned that the BBB now supports 1080p60 but wit no sound with recant update.. are you sure ? :)
Oct 20 23:28:44 <prpplague> mfny: yes indeed it does
Oct 20 23:29:01 <prpplague> mfny: i have one running on my desk at the office with 1080p60
Oct 20 23:29:13 <Vaizki> excellent
Oct 20 23:29:28 <prpplague> again, with no audio
Oct 20 23:29:36 <mfny> prpplague: cool, becuse my budget for embedded fun time has dropped, takeing the minnow off the table pretty much
Oct 20 23:30:09 <prpplague> mfny: please make sure you understand, running at 1080p60 is not the same as decoding video/audio at 1080p
Oct 20 23:31:42 <mfny> not wanting to decode video, or anything to fancy, just want 1080p60 becuse that is the standard i expect realy.. upscaleing on anything but the best displays looks bad to me and i dont have a super display heh
Oct 20 23:33:05 <mfny> so looks like ill pick up a BBB then, it seems to be the best budget choice :)
Oct 20 23:35:10 <_av500_> prpplague: howdy
Oct 20 23:35:17 <_av500_> saw k9 and the minnow inside
Oct 20 23:35:18 <mfny> as long as it does 1080p60 in a "desktop" enviroment its good.
Oct 20 23:46:26 <N2TOH> mfny, the BBB will NOT do 1920x1080
Oct 20 23:46:30 <N2TOH> not 1080
Oct 20 23:46:52 <N2TOH> not 1080i, nor 1080p at any refresh rate. the sot clock is not fast enough
Oct 20 23:46:56 <N2TOH> dot*
Oct 20 23:48:17 <prpplague> N2TOH: that is not correct
Oct 20 23:48:27 <prpplague> N2TOH: it will indeed do 1080p without audio
Oct 20 23:48:32 <prpplague> _av500_: hey bud
Oct 20 23:48:40 <prpplague> _av500_: how did it look?
Oct 20 23:49:27 <N2TOH> how?
Oct 20 23:49:49 <N2TOH> unless the info I got was wrong the dot clock runs @125MHz
Oct 20 23:50:36 <N2TOH> prpplague, I'm running angstrom and ubuntu on different SD cards I'm all ears
Oct 20 23:52:10 <prpplague> 1920 x1080 x 60 = 124416000
Oct 20 23:52:26 <prpplague> N2TOH: the max clock is actually at 138MHz
Oct 20 23:52:36 <prpplague> N2TOH: which is well within the pclock range
Oct 20 23:52:43 <N2TOH> ok what about the blanking intervals?
Oct 20 23:53:05 <N2TOH> I'm willing to give it a try, if you can point me in the corrent direction
Oct 20 23:54:12 <prpplague> N2TOH: i'm using a standard vesa entry that is available on most EDID entries for 1080p capable hdmi displays, however you do have to force it to use the vesa and not cesa or else it will expect to have audio which exceeds the pclock
Oct 20 23:54:17 <N2TOH> is it should also be able to do, 1280x720 x 120Hz?
Oct 20 23:55:04 * N2TOH takes note of this as he is already well into a pint
Oct 20 23:55:07 <prpplague> N2TOH: in theory, yes, i have not tested that configuration, why such a high refresh rate?
Oct 20 23:55:24 <prpplague> N2TOH: 1280 x720 x 120 = 110592000
Oct 20 23:55:29 <N2TOH> CatAR agumented reality goggles use that setting
Oct 20 23:55:58 <prpplague> N2TOH: should be doable, probably need to force a fake edid entry
Oct 20 23:56:06 <N2TOH> http://technicalillusions.com/
Oct 20 23:56:15 <N2TOH> AR GOGGLES ^^^^
Oct 20 23:59:28 <prpplague> N2TOH: based on the info they posted there should be no reason it would not work as long as you have the audio portion of the hdmi interface disabled and strictly run it in DVI mode
Oct 20 23:59:40 <mfny> the googles they do.. something ?
Oct 21 00:00:42 <mfny> prpplague: i assume this issue is becuse the SOC on the BBB was ment for sub full HD tablets or something ?
Oct 21 00:00:43 <prpplague> mfny: platform for doing AR
Oct 21 00:01:31 <prpplague> mfny: well it was meant for display interfaces that did not need to include in-band data for other interfaces such as audio
Oct 21 00:02:05 <N2TOH> I can do without the audio as I have USB sound devices for that
Oct 21 00:02:06 <mfny> ahh
Oct 21 00:02:54 <N2TOH> LOL to they make external HDMI sound injectors?
Oct 21 00:03:50 <prpplague> N2TOH: nothing commercial that i know of
Oct 21 00:04:18 <prpplague> N2TOH: those goggles not that they support DVI so i am guessing there is a separate input for audio
Oct 21 00:04:50 <N2TOH> no audio support as of yet, maybe rev2
Oct 21 00:05:33 <prpplague> ahh
Oct 21 00:05:52 <N2TOH> the goggles have a pair of 720p pico projectors, and an IR camera with an FPGA for head tracking
Oct 21 00:06:49 <mfny> prpplague: if id been able to keep up the budget for it you and the intel guy over in the minnow channel would  have easly sold me a minnow, but as it stands youve sold me a BBB :)
Oct 21 00:07:18 <prpplague> mfny: no worries, circuitco makes money either way
Oct 21 00:07:31 <mark4> booted the beagle xm to a gentoo stage 3. seems i have no eth0. i do have a usb0 but that doesnt seem to work for net... whats missing that gives eth0?
Oct 21 00:10:21 <mark4> ifconfig -a shows a usb0 but not eth0. giving usb0 an ip does not give me netowrk
Oct 21 00:10:24 <mark4> network
Oct 21 00:22:43 <N2TOH> 2560×720 120hz side by side eyes
Oct 21 00:22:43 <N2TOH> 2560×720 120hz interleaved
Oct 21 00:30:58 <mfny> AR and a beagle should be fun id imagine
Oct 21 00:34:06 <SpeedEvil> Stick bittorrent on it and download illegal stuff. an Arrr engine.
Oct 21 00:36:59 <mfny> SpeedEvil: that was badddd hehe
Oct 21 00:41:07 <N2TOH> I'm working on more specifics other then it can upscale the video
Oct 21 00:42:19 <N2TOH> I'm still working on how to edit my VESA settings
Oct 21 00:46:28 <mark4> trying to create a beagle board system. FINALLY got the freeking thing to boot. problem is, my 3.6gig flash / partiton is out of inodes after one stage 3 gentoo tarball extract
Oct 21 00:47:07 <mark4> im kind of at a loss why there are so many pitfalls that are not documented in ANY of the "it just works" tutorials on how to get this thing running
Oct 21 00:47:48 <mark4> i guess i need to reformat my / partiton with more inodes but ive no idea how to do that or why NONE of the tutorials tell yuou how
Oct 21 00:48:30 <mark4> i cant specify #indoes.  i get to specify #bytes per inode. what would a sane value for that be?
Oct 21 00:49:10 <mark4> set it to 256 bytes per inode?
Oct 21 00:49:27 <mark4> erm i mean 512
Oct 21 01:59:59 <nas-wannabe> whats up guys
Oct 21 02:02:32 <nas-wannabe> ...geis?

Oct 21 02:54:03 <MrMaxx> one question here too, have anybodey managed to get LIRC to work on BBB, with GPIO pins ?
Oct 21 02:54:22 <MrMaxx> anybody*
Oct 21 02:55:16 <vagrantc> Cameron__: what sort of display do you have?
Oct 21 02:56:01 <githux> I would like to use rtmp plugin in Gstreamer on BeagleBoard XM runs Angstrom distribution. Looks like the Gstreamer's version doesn't support rtmp plugins. So, How should I do? Thanks!
Oct 21 02:57:28 <Cameron__> i have a hp w2207h for a screen
Oct 21 02:59:03 <vagrantc> Cameron__: using hdmi?
