**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 28 02:59:58 2013 Oct 28 04:04:59 Alternatively, if someone knows how to get debian to boot in ~10 sec, that would also solve my problems. ;) Oct 28 04:08:24 n2toh, you only get the lower 37k and 80k values when in the extended range. Oct 28 04:09:47 As I read it, you'r ok al long as the device is proparly cooled ( when in nitro and turbo ) Oct 28 04:10:26 properly meaning: < 90 degrees Oct 28 04:22:47 gpio, I was trained by a former Soviet EE. his mantra was always use the worst cast number so you will never fail! Oct 28 04:23:19 nasa takes the worst case number than multiplies by three Oct 28 04:23:26 LOL Oct 28 04:23:57 yeah Russian space people take it to a further extreme Oct 28 04:33:56 that's why the previous mars rovers were planned to have a 90 runtime, and one of them is still running, like 9 years later? Oct 28 04:34:03 crazy stuff Oct 28 04:37:53 my mantra: underclocking is cool Oct 28 04:46:34 have a look at the delays that deal with looking for a ethernet connection. there is a 1 min delay in there. i have lots of Beaglebone balcks running ubuntu that boot up in about 10seconds. (true this takes a little longer if we want to use the hdmi output ) Oct 28 04:46:54 For a 'quick hack' to improve boot times without network please edit the following: Oct 28 04:46:54 In /etc/init/failsafe.conf Oct 28 04:46:54 Edit line 32: sleep 40 become sleep 5 Oct 28 04:46:54 Edit line 35: sleep 59 become sleep 5 Oct 28 04:47:36 Thanks for the tip. I don't need ethernet and I don't need hdmi (I'm just using ssh to start a few scripts) Oct 28 04:47:41 I'll give that a shot Oct 28 04:52:00 everyone needs ethernet Oct 28 04:53:25 danial_ohh those instructions are for ubuntu, its debian based but they change stuff so you may have to look in a different place.. that was a cut and paste from an email.. Oct 28 04:53:32 ^e Oct 28 08:58:54 gpio, My Russian professor taught me to work with the worst case numbers, that way it would never fail! Oct 28 08:59:57 American professors always recommend best-case design practices - for best-case results! Oct 28 09:01:39 can't argue with my Russian professors, or Russian classmates for that matter. They had a point! there was no market for electronics failing in Soviet Russia Oct 28 09:03:47 hm? Oct 28 09:03:52 hi! Oct 28 09:03:56 jo rotti Oct 28 09:07:17 oh HI! Oct 28 10:05:12 can anyone help on what a wpa_supplicant is. !!! Oct 28 10:05:23 yes Oct 28 10:05:27 there are people Oct 28 10:05:31 in a garage Oct 28 10:05:35 they used some old PCs Oct 28 10:05:41 and made a "search engine" Oct 28 10:05:44 its like Yahoo Oct 28 10:05:49 but it reads the internet itself Oct 28 10:05:59 I think they are called google Oct 28 10:06:02 .com Oct 28 10:06:16 maybe they read up to "w" already Oct 28 10:06:18 give it a try Oct 28 10:11:45 plus, "man wpa_supplicant" on your most beloveth linux distro will also do quite nicely most of the times. Oct 28 10:11:59 man is so sexist Oct 28 10:12:30 av500: send patches! Oct 28 10:13:18 womanual fempages Oct 28 10:15:13 i want to know how to edit wpa_supplicant.conf for a wifi.. Oct 28 10:16:38 lkm, http://bit.ly/19MlC7J Oct 28 10:16:58 lkm: that is not what you asked Oct 28 10:17:42 av500: now he did! :p Oct 28 10:21:12 I have an asus wifi dongle.. im trying to configure that for beaglebone...for that im trying my luck with wpa_supplicant.. Oct 28 10:21:44 my dongle is up and running.. but im not able to start a communication.. Oct 28 10:25:32 haha, dongle Oct 28 10:25:58 did it load a driver module? Oct 28 10:26:10 yeah.. Oct 28 10:26:32 try running an unencrypted network to test if that works Oct 28 10:26:38 then move on to wpa_supplication Oct 28 10:26:52 and make sure you don't have a network manager running that's messing things up Oct 28 10:27:02 oh.. Oct 28 10:32:13 No Network Manager is running.. Oct 28 10:38:24 hiho av500 Oct 28 10:48:11 hiho woglinde Oct 28 11:26:12 CHOCOLATE! Oct 28 11:28:43 omg! Oct 28 11:31:42 Hi beagle. Oct 28 11:32:38 I am interfacing tca8418 i2c keyboard in beaglebone black. I couldnt configure gpio(1_28 as interrupt for my keyboard. Oct 28 11:33:58 I am using 3.8 kernel with device tree. Oct 28 11:34:24 Anyone knows gpio as interrupt configuration using device tree. Oct 28 11:41:32 what did you try and why do you think it doesnt work? Oct 28 11:47:59 vicky, check your pinmuxing Oct 28 11:48:27 yes. I did pinmuxing of gpio(1_28) pin. Oct 28 11:54:07 my beaglebone dtsi file at http://pastebin.com/MCcTgM7Y Oct 28 11:54:31 err, why are you modifying the dtsi file? Oct 28 11:54:38 overlays should work Oct 28 11:55:45 get your scope out and check whether the interrupt is actually present Oct 28 11:55:57 i am interfacing the tca8418 in i2c Oct 28 11:56:48 I am configuring on of gpio pin as my interrupt for ta8418 keyboard Oct 28 11:56:57 yes, we see that Oct 28 11:57:51 What i am missing? Or am i doing in a wrong way? Oct 28 11:58:37 I think something i am missing with interrupt configuration. Oct 28 12:02:00 http://jsmachines.net/demos/pc/cga-win101/xt-cga-win101.xml Oct 28 12:03:29 vicky: post the DT config snippets at some nopaste service Oct 28 12:03:31 vicky, first make sure you actually get an interrupt from the hardware line Oct 28 12:05:30 vicky: does it appear in /proc/interrupts? Oct 28 12:07:33 av500 haha nice calc.exe runs Oct 28 12:07:57 av500, awesome, runs fien on my ubuntu arm chromebook :) Oct 28 12:08:01 *fine Oct 28 12:08:32 who needs qemu, we'll just JAVASCRIPT ALL THE THINGS! Oct 28 12:08:58 I still suck at reversi :( Oct 28 12:10:14 yes. It apperas in /proc/interrupts Oct 28 12:10:25 hehehe, me too Oct 28 12:11:28 A also got this "genirq: Flags mismatch irq 44. 00000000 (mmc1) vs. 00002082 (tca8418" in dmesg Oct 28 12:14:43 dm8tbr, av500: lol... that was also the first app i tried :) Oct 28 12:15:33 great trolls click alike! Oct 28 12:15:43 :) Oct 28 12:19:39 :-D Oct 28 12:35:33 Hi I am using a beagle bone black. When the bootloader comes up it shows the following details, Board Name: A335BNLT, Board Ver: 00A4, Board Ser: 1613BBBK1234, Board Type: (empty) and before this info it also displays a string Unrecognized BeagleBoneBlack Version. Could you let me know how to find the revision of the board Oct 28 12:36:30 I could not locate any markings on the board to identify revision Oct 28 12:38:17 there is a sticker usually Oct 28 12:39:24 mine has it on the eth socket Oct 28 12:56:02 for me the sticker is on the side of the cape socket. says A5C Oct 28 13:05:52 hi Oct 28 13:06:39 hi Oct 28 14:03:04 trying to use NFS to boot my beaglebone and it gets a bit sad - my bootargs are console=ttyO0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.1:/home/nick/rootdir ip=10.0.0.3:::::eth0 and I get the dreaded error of VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. Oct 28 14:03:27 Is this a kernel config or a bootargs thing? Oct 28 14:03:51 I used to use the same for the BBW but I'm learning that things can be different on the BBB Oct 28 14:04:33 is your network up and running? Oct 28 14:04:46 have you any error before that? Oct 28 14:04:48 etc pp Oct 28 14:06:42 Yeah ping works a treat and i can showhost -e localhost on my PC and it works Oct 28 14:07:07 showmount* Oct 28 14:08:47 It says it Cannot open root device "nfs" or unknown-block(2,0) - config is here http://pastebin.com/a6sJtYg3 Oct 28 14:09:20 I'm setting eth0 on the command line, is it possible the USB is coming up as eth0 and I need eth1? Oct 28 14:11:50 did you compile nfs root fs support in? Oct 28 14:11:50 including network drivers and such? Oct 28 14:14:06 NFS_ROOT, NFS_FS, NFS_V2, NFS_V3, are all compiled in. Network drivers... that's an interesting one. What's the needed one for BBB KotH? Oct 28 14:16:44 no idea Oct 28 14:16:47 i dont own a beagle Oct 28 14:17:00 I thought it was an SMSC part and have CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_SMSC=y, # CONFIG_SMC91X is not set, # CONFIG_SMC911X is not set, CONFIG_SMSC911X=y Oct 28 14:24:05 BBB uses SMSC LAN8710A Oct 28 14:46:08 thanks gpio - Looks like I needed CONFIG_TI_CPSW=y Oct 28 15:00:40 buenos dias Oct 28 15:00:45 alguien habla español? Oct 28 15:02:02 help me please Oct 28 15:02:47 hello Oct 28 15:03:03 hi Oct 28 15:05:22 to create an SD with TI-android JB 4.2.2 i must do? Oct 28 15:06:10 I get an error when running the script Oct 28 15:08:02 help me Oct 28 15:09:51 did used md5sum Oct 28 15:09:52 ?? Oct 28 15:09:56 Fercho: Android support is given by Texas Instruments, they should have the relevant instructions Oct 28 15:10:11 Fercho: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/BeagleBone-Android-DevKit_Guide Oct 28 15:10:11 "16:06 < Fercho> I get an error when running the script" Oct 28 15:10:19 that alone keeps most people from helping you. Oct 28 15:10:43 provide proper error descriptions, and describe precisely which instructions you followed. Oct 28 15:11:14 but yes, that android stuff is from TI. so asking TI is certainly a good idea too. Oct 28 15:11:20 E2E that is, probably. Oct 28 15:12:51 when Oct 28 15:12:51 $ cd $ sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/sd Oct 28 15:13:20 the error is Oct 28 15:14:18 2the disc does not contain a valid partition table" Oct 28 15:15:01 please tell us the command *exactly* as you have entered it. Oct 28 15:17:22 cd /home/Escritorio Oct 28 15:17:52 $ sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/mmcblk0 Oct 28 15:19:33 and you actually unpacked everything to "/home/Escritorio" ?!? Oct 28 15:19:37 cd /home/Escritorio/beagleboneblack <<<<----- aca esta el TI ANDROIT JB 4.2.2 Oct 28 15:19:43 yes Oct 28 15:19:45 unzip Oct 28 15:20:07 cd /home/Escritorio/beagleboneblack <<<<----- here is the 4.2.2 JB Androit IT Oct 28 15:20:07 see, again you left something out. Oct 28 15:20:47 besides that, if the script complains about not finding a partition table - why dont' you create one? gparted or such will gladly do that. Oct 28 15:21:17 FAT or Ext4=???? Oct 28 15:21:34 *sigh* Oct 28 15:21:47 "partition" != "partition table" Oct 28 15:22:12 it said "not contain a valid partition table" Oct 28 15:22:20 it did not say "not contain a valid partition" Oct 28 15:22:22 right? Oct 28 15:22:40 not contain valid partition Oct 28 15:23:41 hello, echo? Oct 28 15:23:57 what should be the format? Oct 28 15:24:04 i told you. Oct 28 15:24:08 the uSD Oct 28 15:24:59 i told you to create a partition TABLE Oct 28 15:25:06 that has *NOTHING* Oct 28 15:25:12 to do with any format. Oct 28 15:25:22 i even told you the tool. Oct 28 15:25:53 hence, i will only answer again if you have done that. any more repeating i will just ignore. Oct 28 15:25:58 thank you for listening. Oct 28 15:26:08 moment Oct 28 15:26:48 I'm installing the tool Oct 28 15:27:23 momento!!! Oct 28 15:27:33 dont leave me Oct 28 15:29:29 okok go Oct 28 15:31:38 msdos, aix, amiga, bsd??

Oct 28 15:33:52 primary Oct 28 15:33:59 you are wrong and you are not listeing. Oct 28 15:34:13 but Oct 28 15:34:18 i don't know how many times i shall tell you to create a partition TABLE(!!!) Oct 28 15:34:39 if you don't know what a partition table is, read up on it. you are wasting my time. Oct 28 15:34:49 okok Oct 28 15:35:10 iis create Oct 28 15:35:10 http://gparted.sourceforge.net/h2-fix-msdos-pt.php Oct 28 15:35:18 thats it. i am silent now. Oct 28 15:36:54 ok thx Oct 28 15:36:54 gracias Oct 28 15:44:07 hi, what's the most popular/most supported way of programming BBB? node.js, python or something else? Oct 28 15:45:58 alguien habla español aca? Oct 28 15:46:55 ayuda tengo un problema bien culo Oct 28 16:32:54 I'm running Debian on my BBB and I'm seeing boot times of about 100 seconds, with 83 seconds spent waiting for eth0 to be ready. Anybody know why that is or how I can skip waiting for it? I'm not using eth0, just wlan0 Oct 28 16:33:45 tried disabling it? Oct 28 16:34:30 other than ifconfig eth0 down I'm not sure how to do that Oct 28 16:35:17 is there a starup script in /etc/ I need to modify? Oct 28 16:36:50 that's a debian question Oct 28 16:37:39 Gotcha. Thanks Oct 28 16:46:21 For the sake of the logs, I commented out lines 9 and 10 in /etc/network/interface and got the boot time to about 25 seconds. Oct 28 16:47:00 *nod* that's pretty much what I expected Oct 28 17:20:11 ifdown ethx ? Oct 28 17:20:19 ifup ethx Oct 28 17:20:42 ^^ debian wheezy Oct 28 17:21:59 although ifdown ethx && ifup ethx <---- doesnt work so good over ssh any more Oct 28 20:22:39 beaglebone black serial Oct 28 20:25:00 how to send string on ttyO4 ising bonescript Oct 28 20:25:28 other than echo s s s Oct 28 20:29:38 <_av500_> why only s?

Oct 28 20:37:47 cannot find any code in node.js about serial comm , is ther any reference for coding, is 'fs' is the good constructor?

Oct 29 00:02:42 yes Oct 29 00:03:33 in the morning I asked for help Oct 29 00:03:47 people have problems /running/ JB Oct 29 00:04:06 see this forum: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509/t/282059.aspx Oct 29 00:04:23 ok Oct 29 00:04:30 tx gracias Oct 29 00:06:39 so maybe good idea to start with an older version Oct 29 00:13:33 sorry - I just noticed, the older versions are for the white version only Oct 29 00:18:44 Lenin?

Oct 29 00:54:24 cuantas particiones debe tener? Oct 29 00:55:18 how many partitions should have? Oct 29 00:56:02 quattro Oct 29 00:56:54 4?? Oct 29 00:56:56 cuatro Oct 29 00:57:03 ?? Oct 29 00:58:29 si - non hablo espagnol - 4 .. i think , i am reading the script Oct 29 00:58:39 ok Oct 29 00:59:21 it uses sfdisk ( i always use fdisk ) Oct 29 00:59:53 gparted Oct 29 01:01:00 gpio, in the readme text not specify the size of the partitions, or that type should be Oct 29 01:01:44 no - but you can read it in the scrip. Oct 29 01:02:04 does anyone here know if its possible to use the internal RTC of the beagle bone with a battery backup? does the battery backup provide power to the entire beagle bone??? or can you fit a battery that will only power the RTC. like a coin cell Oct 29 01:03:09 the part with mkfs. ... Oct 29 01:12:18 the file system can be ext3 or fat32? in the sd Oct 29 01:13:04 the name of each partition matter? Oct 29 01:13:17 ext4 Oct 29 01:14:24 back in a minute (or some) Oct 29 01:14:40 okok Oct 29 01:38:34 does anyone know how to find out what revision of silicon i have in my beagle bone black? in particular i need to find out if the chip i have is a rev 2.0 or greater... Oct 29 01:39:36 bnz: check the reference manual. there are probably some id registers. Oct 29 01:39:47 most likely accessible with devmem2 Oct 29 01:40:03 oh so i can't get this info out of linux...? Oct 29 01:40:22 or is devmem a part of linux? Oct 29 01:40:53 err, you try cpuinfo? Oct 29 01:40:57 or whatever it is? Oct 29 01:41:04 and, devmem2 lets you access raw memory. Oct 29 01:41:30 saying "part of linux" doesn't make sense, technically. Oct 29 01:41:48 "out of your distribution makes sense". Oct 29 01:41:55 *" makes sense Oct 29 01:42:14 thanks nomel :) help muchly apreciated.. Oct 29 01:43:00 and, whatever tool you use will just be looking at that memory address you find in the reference manual. Oct 29 01:44:03 i see.
