**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 21 02:59:59 2013
Oct 21 03:00:16 <Cameron__> It was working before. But then i tried to ssh and it did not work after that
Oct 21 03:00:26 <Cameron__> i have tried reinstaling
Oct 21 03:01:52 <vagrantc> http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoneBlack#HDMI_Issues
Oct 21 03:02:52 <Cameron__> i have looked there but found no solution
Oct 21 03:03:27 <vagrantc> Cameron__: you're able to ssh in? can you lok at the logs?
Oct 21 03:03:45 <Cameron__> I can ssh in
Oct 21 03:03:54 <Cameron__> i dont know where the logs are
Oct 21 03:09:13 <vagrantc> Cameron__: /var/log, maybe
Oct 21 03:09:22 <vagrantc> dmesg | less
Oct 21 03:12:35 <Cameron__> what do i do to get to the logs
Oct 21 03:16:48 <vagrantc> Cameron__: less name-of-file in most cases
Oct 21 03:17:15 <Cameron__> what?
Oct 21 03:17:49 <vagrantc> the command "less" takes a filename as an argument...
Oct 21 03:18:16 <Cameron__> it just says /var/log is a directory
Oct 21 03:19:37 <vagrantc> Cameron__: you'll need to do some studying on linux commandline basics before really troubleshoting this...
Oct 21 03:21:13 <Cameron__> well then to the fourms
Oct 21 03:22:34 <vagrantc> Cameron__: good luck! :)
Oct 21 04:07:31 <sheldonw> does 4 blinking led's while booting from a flasher mean my beaglebone black is bricked?
Oct 21 04:15:16 <leonzhang> Hi!
Oct 21 04:18:36 <Guest98977> Can you give some referances for writing an ethernet driver from scratch?
Oct 21 04:19:30 <dlg> for what?
Oct 21 04:20:40 <Guest98977> how to begin writing a network driver ? any documents?
Oct 21 04:21:29 <sheldonw> google just that. ;)
Oct 21 04:23:11 <nas-wannabe> hi
Oct 21 04:23:20 <nas-wannabe> anyone around
Oct 21 04:31:09 <Guest98977> ya...Im here
Oct 21 05:46:24 <mark4> is armv7a_hardfloat the right stage3 to use for a beagle board xm?
Oct 21 09:08:11 <aphex> Hello! Im trying to use Adafruit's 1.8" LCD with a BBB. This LCD has a st7735 driver ic, and thanks to Matt Porter, a kernel driver is available. i can activate the screen using "cape-bone-adafruit-lcd-00A0.dts" but some colors are swapped. According Ada-forum, this issue belongs to BBB kernel distribution, so that's why I came here :)
Oct 21 09:09:21 <aphex> Matt posted his experiences regarding the 1.8" screen here: http://engineersofthecorn.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/beaglebone-and-adafruit-18-spi-lcd.html
Oct 21 09:14:02 <aphex> With a link to his github repo. It looks like, this repo contains a newer versions of the st7735.* files, compared to the Kernel 3.8.13-11. In the new Kernel 3.12.0-3 I can't even find the driver enabled in the config.
Oct 21 09:14:29 <aphex> I would appreciate for any help :)
Oct 21 10:26:27 <kurti> hm i think i killed my bbb by fucking up vcc and ground on the 5V plug
Oct 21 11:09:13 <ahmetbm> hi
Oct 21 11:09:36 <ahmetbm> i need peripherals for beaglebone
Oct 21 11:09:56 <dlg> got any money?
Oct 21 11:10:02 <ahmetbm> yes
Oct 21 11:10:17 <dlg> how handy
Oct 21 11:10:43 <ahmetbm> http://beagleboard.org/peripheral/
Oct 21 11:11:05 <ahmetbm> at this link beagleboard peripherals are listed
Oct 21 11:11:21 <ahmetbm> but can i use them for beaglebone
Oct 21 11:11:25 <ahmetbm> ??

Oct 21 11:23:50 * honestly sighs
Oct 21 11:24:24 <honestly> anyone here know a way to copy a disk image to a sd-card the same way dd does it (just straight writing to the block device) on windows?
Oct 21 11:26:39 <philenotfound> honestly: rawrite
Oct 21 11:28:00 <honestly> philenotfound: does that work in windows 7?
Oct 21 11:29:34 <honestly> (found this: http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite )
Oct 21 11:29:46 <honestly> is that compatible with a dd image?
Oct 21 11:31:16 <honestly> guess I'l have to find out....
Oct 21 11:54:15 <honestly> rawrite says "no floppy drives found"
Oct 21 11:55:16 <philenotfound> try that one http://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/
Oct 21 12:02:35 <honestly> philenotfound: that looks like the ticket :D
Oct 21 12:08:42 <yasirk> Hi there, silly noob question: What is a typical parts list for a beagle camera? 1. Sensor? 2. Board?  and does beagle take 2pin input from camera boards?
Oct 21 12:10:08 <yasirk> my project involves capturing video and streaming over a network to a pc device
Oct 21 12:13:14 <Anguel> honestly: win32diskimager-v0.9-binary
Oct 21 12:15:23 <honestly> Anguel: hrm, as far as I can tell win32 disk imager has been causing problems
Oct 21 12:15:33 <honestly> but I have no idea what they've been doing
Oct 21 12:15:56 <honestly> i should obviously not have relied on my colleagues to do things correctly -.-
Oct 21 12:16:06 <Anguel> honestly: works fine here on win7
Oct 21 12:16:09 <aphex> sorry for repeating, but... no one here tryed to use a BBB with Adafruit's 1.8" lcd?
Oct 21 12:16:47 <Anguel> honestly: and xp
Oct 21 12:16:50 <honestly> Anguel: this tutorial they made says to first partition the sd-card with fat32, and then use win32 disk imager
Oct 21 12:16:57 <honestly> my mind, it boggles
Oct 21 12:17:07 <honestly> s/partition/format/
Oct 21 12:17:32 <honestly> fuck, now I need to run to catch the bus
Oct 21 12:17:38 <Anguel> honestly: ah, afaik the imager always writes images, not single partitions
Oct 21 12:17:50 <honestly> haven't even finished my breakfast -.-
Oct 21 12:42:13 <turkoale> hi everybody
Oct 21 12:42:59 <turkoale> any can help my to conect a beaglebone black whit a MLX90620 IR sensor??
Oct 21 12:49:46 <turkoale> Hello everybody. I am new in this forum. I try read my MLX90620 whit a beaglebone black board, and my i2cdetec not detect this
Oct 21 13:02:37 <turkoale> this is my i2cdetect: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Uo2gxaAz-HQ2VjTkVDLTl1Smc/edit?usp=sharing
Oct 21 13:03:34 <Fruit> next time use pastebin instead of a screenshot :V
Oct 21 13:06:05 <ynezz> youtube ftw!
Oct 21 13:40:03 <kurti> is there any chance of fixing a bbb after connecting it to a power supply with switched vcc/gnd?
Oct 21 13:42:09 <Xtoph> hello! today i got the delivery of the audio cape for my beaglebone wich is currently running debian and ubuntu on separate sd cards. i have tried installed alsa and have added the kernel modules as described in http://goo.gl/EIFjcf. but unfortunately it doesn't work. does anyone know a fix for this?
Oct 21 13:54:08 <thurgood> Xtoph: did the module install, but you have no sound, or was there a problem with the module?
Oct 21 13:56:37 <Xtoph> thurgood, sorry that i have been unclear. i tried to output some sound with mp3blaster, but it says that no audio device could be found. also linphone does not output or capture any sound.
Oct 21 13:57:38 <thurgood> does lsmod show it installed?
Oct 21 13:59:58 <thurgood> and if not what happens if you use insmod insert the modules?
Oct 21 14:01:21 <Xtoph> this is my lsmod: http://pastebin.com/hRNrzLaW
Oct 21 14:03:59 <Xtoph> if i do "sudo insmod snd_soc_tlv320aic3x" it says could not load ... no such file or directory
Oct 21 14:04:14 <Xtoph> do i have to download the modules somewhere?
Oct 21 14:04:25 <Xtoph> sorry for the beginner question :)
Oct 21 14:05:13 <thurgood> if you haven't already downloaded the alsa package
Oct 21 14:05:50 <Xtoph> i did install alsa via apt-get
Oct 21 14:06:59 <thurgood> insmod may require the path and extension
Oct 21 14:10:35 <Xtoph> i just did a modinfo on all the four modules i tried to load with /etc/modules. i always get an error. would this mean that the system can't load any of the modules i specified in /etc/modules?
Oct 21 14:20:30 <Anguel> Xtoph: why not go to /etc/modules and look if the modules are there, aren't they under /lib/modules/3.8.13/kernel/ ?
Oct 21 14:50:18 <honestly> Anguel: rawrite32 is perfect <3
Oct 21 15:21:21 <honestly> what tool should I use to expand the rootfs partition after writing the image to the sd-card?
Oct 21 15:21:53 <honestly> I can just tell people to remount root read-only but eeeehhhh
Oct 21 15:26:40 <DagoRed> gparted
Oct 21 15:27:07 <honestly> I'd rather not, gparted likes destroying partitions
Oct 21 15:27:43 <honestly> it also doesn't run on windows
Oct 21 15:29:44 <honestly> I wonder what exactly expand_rootfs from the raspi-config tools does
Oct 21 15:58:54 <chrisw957> I'm confused. I deleted the .dtbo file from /lib/firmware, but the kernel still says it is loading it at boot.  Where is it getting this?
Oct 21 15:59:48 <prpplague> chrisw957: because a copyof the dtbo files are compiled into the kernel
Oct 21 15:59:54 <chrisw957> ah
Oct 21 16:00:03 <chrisw957> ok, thanks.
Oct 21 16:21:28 <prpplague> vagrantc: ping
Oct 21 16:27:41 <vagrantc> prpplague: hi
Oct 21 16:46:57 <har18> heyy
Oct 21 16:48:25 <har18> i want have micro hdmi port in beagle bone black and i want to use it with my desktop having vga . so in which way i can connect these two ??
Oct 21 16:53:44 <vagrantc> there are hdmi to VGA adapters, but you'd be better off with HDMI->DVI
Oct 21 17:40:23 <davr> you want to plug your BBB into your desktop PC which has a VGA input? that sounds very odd
Oct 21 17:47:15 <honestly> so gparted has a windows port, heh
Oct 21 17:47:24 <honestly> who woulda thunk
Oct 21 17:50:45 <honestly> I guess that was a lie
Oct 21 17:51:12 * DagoRed shrugs
Oct 21 17:51:33 <DagoRed> I personally feel that if you're using a beaglebone from a windows system you should at least have a linux vm.
Oct 21 17:52:22 <honestly> I don't use a beagle bone :P
Oct 21 17:52:29 <N2TOH> http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f269/#tabs
Oct 21 17:52:45 <N2TOH> ok it uses WiFi, now we need a follow me app
Oct 21 18:03:18 <syrioosh> hello
Oct 21 18:03:45 <syrioosh> does anyone use beagle with tv via svideo ?
Oct 21 18:04:37 <DarkSector> How do I use a piezo element with the BBblack?
Oct 21 18:05:02 <DarkSector> I mean how do I restrict the voltage to 1.8V so that I don't damage the ADC
Oct 21 18:07:09 <DagoRed> DarkSector: You will need a circuit to provide level conversion.
Oct 21 18:07:20 <DarkSector> I have a circuit for 5v to 3.3v
Oct 21 18:07:29 <DarkSector> but 3.3v to 1.8 is just evading me right now
Oct 21 18:07:47 <DarkSector> I think I'll need to use a voltage divider
Oct 21 18:07:53 <DagoRed> For the 1.8V you may just want to simply use 2 resistors in series
Oct 21 18:08:01 <DagoRed> Yup!
Oct 21 18:08:54 <DarkSector> Oh okay
Oct 21 18:17:55 <MrMaxx> hello, i have 1 question, have anybodey managed to get lirc working on beagelbone black ?
Oct 21 18:18:26 <MrMaxx> especially "lirc_rpi" driver
Oct 21 18:18:35 <XBone> Im trying to install g++-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi but I get this message Depends: gcc-4.6-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabi (= 4.6 .3-1ubuntu5cross1.62) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Oct 21 18:20:18 <syrioosh> @DarkSector note that piezoelektrics can produce voltage much higher than 5 volts
Oct 21 18:20:24 <DarkSector> sheet
Oct 21 18:20:25 <DarkSector> So
Oct 21 18:20:34 <agmlego> Zener.
Oct 21 18:20:41 <DarkSector> Oh, nice
Oct 21 18:20:52 <syrioosh> and then voltage divider
Oct 21 18:21:03 <DarkSector> nice, I didn't think of that, thanks.
Oct 21 18:22:26 <prpplague> XorA: hey bud
Oct 21 18:27:09 <syrioosh> i got a problem, i ve connected tv via svideo to beagleboard. I ve seen kernel commands but when xfce was about to load tv g blank
Oct 21 18:27:25 <syrioosh> i know for sure X11 is working
Oct 21 18:28:32 <syrioosh> im using ubuntu with lxde
Oct 21 18:29:31 <honestly> "partition type: other"
Oct 21 18:29:42 <honestly> so much for fucking "partition master"
Oct 21 18:32:07 <honestly> I guess I shouldn't have used ext4
Oct 21 18:32:11 <N2TOH> oh nice so who has attempted to generate S-Video or Composite video from their BBB?
Oct 21 18:32:22 <syrioosh> mw
Oct 21 18:32:24 <syrioosh> me
Oct 21 18:32:44 <N2TOH> did you use a DAC or just a 1 bit PWM for the signal?
Oct 21 18:33:15 <N2TOH> and how many can it generate at once?
Oct 21 18:34:16 <syrioosh> my bad, i thought you are talking about beagleboard xM :P
Oct 21 18:34:21 <syrioosh> so cant help
Oct 21 18:34:36 <XBone> Im trying to install g++-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi but I get this message Depends: gcc-4.6-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabi (= 4.6 .3-1ubuntu5cross1.62) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Oct 21 18:35:06 <agmlego> XBone: You said that already.
Oct 21 18:35:14 <honestly> so
Oct 21 18:35:18 <honestly> I gave up
Oct 21 18:35:29 <XBone> agmlego: ok..!!
Oct 21 18:35:33 <honestly> the instructions for windows now link to the ubuntu live usb install instructions
Oct 21 18:35:36 <honestly> because fuck this shit
Oct 21 18:36:39 <syrioosh> what kind of problem are you solving @honestly
Oct 21 18:37:07 <honestly> writing instructions for students to install a beagle board image to an sd card
Oct 21 18:37:24 <syrioosh> make them use script :)
Oct 21 18:37:29 <honestly> can't find a partitioning tool for windows that's free, looks non-scammy, and supports ext4
Oct 21 18:37:59 <syrioosh> apply virtual machine if windows is used
Oct 21 18:38:10 <syrioosh> and job is done :P
Oct 21 18:38:23 <N2TOH> tell them to use linux live CD
Oct 21 18:39:14 <N2TOH> they are going to be working with linux eventually so why not start with a liveCD that can create the SD card for their Beagle product
Oct 21 18:39:41 <honestly> 20:35:32 < honestly> the instructions for windows now link to the ubuntu live  usb install instructions
Oct 21 18:39:44 <honestly> :)
Oct 21 18:41:21 <honestly> problem: I don't know how to get the sd card into the vm
Oct 21 18:41:42 <honestly> let's find out!
Oct 21 18:42:07 <syrioosh> wont it be at /dev ?
Oct 21 18:42:18 <honestly> only if it's passed through
Oct 21 18:45:18 <honestly> and it looks like that is nontrivial -.-
Oct 21 18:45:53 <agmlego> Should not be.
Oct 21 18:46:02 <agmlego> What hypervisor are you using?
Oct 21 18:46:26 <honestly> I'll be using virtualbox
Oct 21 18:46:27 <syrioosh> if everthing fails you can always prepere all cards for them :)
Oct 21 18:47:09 <agmlego> honestly: That is pretty easy to pass a USB SD card reader through.
Oct 21 18:48:52 <woglinde> hello
Oct 21 18:49:44 <syrioosh> @wogline hi
Oct 21 18:51:07 <honestly> "no devices available"
Oct 21 18:53:17 <agmlego> syrioosh: Just as a note: THis is IRC, not Twitter. No '@' signs here. ;-P
Oct 21 18:57:05 <technomancy> can you repurpose S2 on the bbb for a user-level switch after boot?
Oct 21 18:57:47 <technomancy> seems kinda wasteful to have a handy switch like that which doesn't have any use after boot, but I'm not seeing any docs on it
Oct 21 19:42:17 <honestly> after dd'ing to a device, how can I make the kernel read the new partitioning?
Oct 21 19:42:20 <honestly> partprobe?
Oct 21 19:42:33 <honestly> (will partprobe work reliably?)
Oct 21 20:58:58 <gadgy> hello, I am trying to connect to my new BBB over usb from a ubuntu 12.04 host and the connection keeps reseting
Oct 21 21:00:31 <gadgy> dmesg tells me that the device keeps being reset, registered and unregisted. Any idea what could be wrong?
Oct 21 21:03:32 <CaptChrisD> I am trying to repurpose J1 (searial debug port), but cannot figure out the offset to use in my device tree file. I think I have found pin 5 to be 170. Does anyone know what the offset of Pin 4 on J1 is?
Oct 21 21:57:52 <N2TOH> why does the RTL-SDR software hace to be suck a pain in the ass to work with?
Oct 21 22:15:14 <agmlego> N2TOH: Because you have not contributed all your awesome code to it yet. ;-P
Oct 21 22:20:13 <N2TOH> agmlego, sure hire me to do product evaluations, I tend to find bugs in less then a minute
Oct 21 22:20:30 <N2TOH> typically less then 1/3
Oct 21 22:20:34 <agmlego> Why would an open-source project hire you?
Oct 21 22:20:45 <agmlego> Just do it for free, like everyone else does. ;-P
Oct 21 22:21:02 <N2TOH> but nobody seems to care when I find bugs in free code
Oct 21 22:21:34 <agmlego> I would think the code maintainers might, especially if your patches are well-written, politely submitted, and match the code style of the project.
Oct 21 22:21:45 <agmlego> Oh, and come with appropriate documentation.
Oct 21 22:26:00 <KotH> N2TOH: as we say at libav: "patches welcome" :)
Oct 21 22:28:22 <N2TOH> sure I'd help patch stuff if I know how. before you can learn how to patch stuff you first need to see a few working examples
Oct 21 22:30:47 <agmlego> So watch the github repo for the project.
Oct 21 22:30:53 <agmlego> Look back through all the commits.
Oct 22 00:46:40 <honestly> what the fuck
Oct 22 00:46:46 <honestly> did rawrite32 just go away?
Oct 22 00:47:00 <honestly> http://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/download.html
Oct 22 00:51:16 <DagoRed> not a clue
Oct 22 00:55:50 <honestly> it's here for now: https://gepasp.in.tum.de/uploads/Rawrite32.exe
Oct 22 00:56:11 <honestly> I'd check if I'm allowed to do that, but http://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/license.html
Oct 22 01:00:49 <honestly> is it safe to remount the root fs read-only, rewrite the partition size with fdisk, and then extend the filesystem with rewrite2fs?
Oct 22 01:00:56 <honestly> I guess no
Oct 22 01:01:10 <honestly> resize2fs*
Oct 22 01:10:28 <DagoRed> honestly: Why not?
Oct 22 01:11:03 <honestly> because the system might become slightly upset if I change the rootfs while it's running?
Oct 22 01:12:33 <honestly> but I suppose I might as well try
Oct 22 01:42:01 <georgem_home> Everyone enjoying the haggis?
Oct 22 01:42:56 <N2TOH> thankfully no haggis here
Oct 22 01:45:20 <prpplague> georgem_home: will be in 48 hours
Oct 22 01:47:23 <RickJ> Can you use the BBB To run code instead of a OS?
Oct 22 01:47:34 <agmlego> Sure.
Oct 22 01:47:40 <agmlego> You can program the bare metal.
Oct 22 01:47:50 <agmlego> OS' make things easier though.
Oct 22 01:48:43 <RickJ> I need high reliability.
Oct 22 01:49:08 <RickJ> How would one compile and run such code?
Oct 22 01:49:24 <N2TOH> there is also the PRU codes that for now only run ASM/ML code
Oct 22 01:49:32 <agmlego> ...so you are using an open-source board based on what is effectively a smartphone processor?
Oct 22 01:49:45 <agmlego> RickJ: qI imagine like any other ARM/JTAG system.
Oct 22 01:50:10 <agmlego> YOu get the necessary toolchain for the ARM, and use something like OpenOCD and JTAG to dump the code in.
Oct 22 01:50:49 <RickJ> OK ...thanks
Oct 22 01:52:09 <georgem_home> prpplague: The purse strings are held tightly for international travel at our company. Very conservative management/ownership :(
Oct 22 02:13:33 <prpplague> georgem_home: ahh
Oct 22 02:14:08 * prpplague will never every again work for a company that does not sponsor attendence to conferences
Oct 22 02:24:24 <cameron__> My bbb wont load to the desktop when i boot it standalone. Any ideas?
Oct 22 02:27:23 <thurgood> what does it do?
Oct 22 02:28:41 <cameron__> I tdiplays the logo in the top left then does nothing. It was working before but then i sshed and now its stoped working. Ive even reflashed it to no avail
Oct 22 02:30:12 <thurgood> do you have a debug console attached?
Oct 22 02:30:43 <cameron__> what is that
Oct 22 02:30:47 <cameron__> no
Oct 22 02:31:15 <thurgood> a serial console that is on the bbb
Oct 22 02:31:53 <thurgood> it shouldn't fail just because you ssh'd in
Oct 22 02:32:17 <thurgood> did you run anything when connected?
Oct 22 02:32:20 <cameron__> should i give you logs?
Oct 22 02:32:24 <cameron__> no
Oct 22 02:32:35 <thurgood> if you have them, use pastebin.com or similar
Oct 22 02:32:45 <cameron__> how do i get to them
