**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 11 02:59:58 2013 Nov 11 03:06:46 hello? anybody out there Nov 11 03:06:47 ? Nov 11 03:07:04 nah - no one here at all Nov 11 03:07:39 hah sweet Nov 11 03:09:20 i have a question, feel free to say its stupid....does anyone use the python module through adafruit (import Adafruit_BBIO.SPI) to control SPI functions instead of using DT overlays directly? Nov 11 03:09:50 or have experience because I have not been able to get it working.. Nov 11 03:10:25 and as far as I can tell, there is no documentation or examples of anyone using it Nov 11 03:11:29 if you don't use the DT overlay then the SPI module won't be loaded into the kernel and no amount of python will get it going. Nov 11 03:12:26 so there is no avoiding it then? i had hoped that the python module somehow did the overlay for you Nov 11 03:13:21 for example, I need not do any DT overlays for using I2C in python right out of the gate Nov 11 03:13:36 using Adafruit_BBIO.I2C Nov 11 03:13:55 because the I2C kernel module is loaded at boot time in order to access the cape bus. Nov 11 03:14:01 but spi is not Nov 11 03:14:32 gotcha, thanks a lot emeb_mac!!!! Nov 11 03:14:37 sure Nov 11 03:56:50 Hello Nov 11 03:57:25 I just want to know how I can use a beagle board to use 3g in telemetry for my ardupilot Nov 11 05:18:16 <_av500_> its a small linux system Nov 11 05:20:33 Hi.. Im doing a kernel installation for Ubuntu in BB.. Can I follow the steps in below link for that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild Nov 11 05:39:17 when i am loading device tree overlay,it is giving error message in dmesg as "of_get_named_gpio_flags: can't parse gpios property'' Nov 11 05:39:56 do anybody know what may be the problem? Nov 11 05:40:27 beagle13: http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/beaglebone-adding-usb-wi-fi-building-a-linux-kernel/ Nov 11 05:42:07 is what I used Nov 11 06:01:50 Biodragon: Are you pointing to that video Nov 11 06:03:19 beagle13: yeah, that's what I used to compile a custom kernel, not sure if it works from the general source.. Nov 11 06:09:07 beagle13: I assume the robert C nelson git has special patches to the beaglebone, but not sure Nov 11 06:10:50 I'd recommend to stick to https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.8 Nov 11 06:12:59 I was give a suggestion of "https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel" 2 days back from BeagleBoard.org.. I did that since my /usr/src is empty.. but when i did that a error : error: index-pack died of signal 9447381), 802.20 MiB | 88 KiB/s fatal: index-pack failed came.. so how can I proceed further.. Nov 11 06:13:28 let me ask the other way around, why do you think you need to rebuild the kernel? Nov 11 06:14:18 That is because my /usr/src is empty.. so was doubtful abt the current runing Kernel.. Nov 11 06:14:50 you don't need the kernel source in /usr/src to run a kernel. Nov 11 06:18:58 My intension was to insert a module.. so when i was trying to compile the module..my Makefile content " make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules".. but there was no "build"  in my "3.8.13-bone20" .. So had to link the "build" to "/usr/lib" where i can see my headerfiles..but even after doing that.. I was unable to compile.. Nov 11 06:20:05 I linked build to usr/lib, since my /usr/src is empty. Nov 11 06:39:10 then all you actually need should be to install the sources for _that_ particular kernel Nov 11 07:33:27 Hello, i need help in reading my sensor in every 5 ns interval but cloud 9 IDE only support at most 5 ms using chrome, anyone can provide assistance in my case? much appreciated. Nov 11 07:33:45 <_av500_> 5ns? Nov 11 07:33:51 yes Nov 11 07:33:59 <_av500_> on the PRU Nov 11 07:34:11 may i know how to set that? Nov 11 07:34:21 <_av500_> "set" is the wrong word Nov 11 07:34:27 you might need to get the pru to populate a ring which cloud9 can poll a batch of data from Nov 11 07:34:28 oh, sorry Nov 11 07:34:31 <_av500_> google for am335x PRU Nov 11 07:34:39 <_av500_> its complex Nov 11 07:34:52 what are you looking at every 5ns? Nov 11 07:34:55 can it be done using PUTTY? Nov 11 07:35:09 for PUTTY minimum is 1 micros Nov 11 07:35:16 for the one i have tried Nov 11 07:35:33 sensor signal Nov 11 07:35:46 <_av500_> putty is a terminal emulator Nov 11 07:36:18 i would like to write to text file the input from sensor signal for every 5 ns Nov 11 07:36:34 hmm Nov 11 07:36:40 is teh PRU permanent? Nov 11 07:36:52 <_av500_> every 5ns is 200mhz Nov 11 07:37:08 <_av500_> you cannot make a sensor reading at 200mhz on the BBB Nov 11 07:37:08 i am worried if i cause the hardware malfunction Nov 11 07:37:15 <_av500_> not even with the PRU Nov 11 07:37:22 <@_av_500> oh Nov 11 07:37:25 <_av500_> what sensor is that? Nov 11 07:38:02 <_av500_> so I doubt you really want 5ns Nov 11 07:38:26 <@_av_500> sorry i think my calculation is wrong, should be 1 ns Nov 11 07:38:36 <_av500_> not much better Nov 11 07:38:41 since sampling frequency must be 4 times larger Nov 11 07:38:46 <_av500_> so you need 1GHz Nov 11 07:38:50 close to Nov 11 07:38:51 <_av500_> forget it Nov 11 07:38:55 oh Nov 11 07:38:58 <_av500_> what are you measuring? Nov 11 07:39:09 i thought BBB can support 1 GHz Nov 11 07:39:17 <_av500_> the cpu runs at 1ghz max Nov 11 07:39:29 <_av500_> that does not mean you can read a measurement every 1ns Nov 11 07:39:32 <_av500_> what are you measuring? Nov 11 07:39:33 high frequency acoustic signal Nov 11 07:39:39 <_av500_> at 1ghz? Nov 11 07:39:46 <_av500_> in what material is that? Nov 11 07:39:47 200 MHz Nov 11 07:39:54 piezoelectric Nov 11 07:40:13 <_av500_> sorry Nov 11 07:40:22 <_av500_> you need somekind of fpga frontend orsp Nov 11 07:40:24 <_av500_> or so Nov 11 07:40:30 so its just a fairy tale? Nov 11 07:40:32 BeagleMon: long discussion short: you cannot measure that fast on a BBB. Nov 11 07:40:34 for BBB? Nov 11 07:40:39 <_av500_> for anything Nov 11 07:40:49 ok, so can i know the limit of BBB measurement? Nov 11 07:40:56 <_av500_> much less Nov 11 07:41:05 hmm Nov 11 07:41:27 <_av500_> there'S a reason there is high speed data aquisition equipment Nov 11 07:41:51 is it possible to record it with some kind of interface like LabView then interfacing it to BBB? Nov 11 07:41:53 ... and that it costs more than 45$ Nov 11 07:42:09 BeagleMon: no. Nov 11 07:42:28 BeagleMon: with a 1Ghz processor, it just is not possible to process a value every 1ns. Nov 11 07:42:30 Yes, thats what i saw the advertisement of BBB, high frequency data aqusition.... Nov 11 07:42:53 BeagleMon: please show that advertisement. Nov 11 07:44:06 sorry thats the project done by people Nov 11 07:44:22 http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/single-board_computers/next-gen_beaglebone/blog/2013/08/04/bbb--high-speed-data-acquisition-and-web-based-ui Nov 11 07:45:07 BeagleMon: so basically you have no idea what you are talking about, and now we have to explain you the basics. did i get that right? Nov 11 07:45:19 even in the first line it says "1MHz" Nov 11 07:45:26 not "100MHz" Nov 11 07:45:49 if you see down there they mention 200 MHz Nov 11 07:46:30 BeagleMon: i know. now please read the sentence surrounding the 200Mhz, not just the number, please. Nov 11 07:46:35 Yes you are right, i am new. But i want to know whetehr it is possibl eto do it without any interface Nov 11 07:47:32 BeagleMon: they say that the input processor RUNS AT 200Mhz. they never say that they SAMPLE 200Mhz Nov 11 07:47:50 "and I did experience lost samples with the 32MHz oscillator" Nov 11 07:48:06 dm8tbr: reading is indeed a lost art nowadays. Nov 11 07:48:11 "I plan on trying frequencies in the range 14MHz-20MHz to find the upper limit for missing no samples; for further study! " Nov 11 07:48:24 oh, ok Nov 11 07:48:42 thanks for the enlightenment Nov 11 07:48:53 BeagleMon: so before citing something, and calling it advertising, it usually is wise to actually *READ* it. don't you think so? Nov 11 07:49:20 sorry, i know, i mistaken that Nov 11 07:56:46 How do I go about reporting that the sbcl package doesn't seem to exist for Ubuntu 13.04 on BBB? Nov 11 08:29:58 Hello, just wanted to double confirmed, there is no way to output and take reading for signal more than 50 MHZ via BBB? Nov 11 08:33:59 BeagleMon: i will happily repeat it even three times, yo you have it triple confirmed: Nov 11 08:34:21 BeagleMon: you are not able to read/process/write a 50MHz signal on the BBB Nov 11 08:34:22 BeagleMon: you are not able to read/process/write a 50MHz signal on the BBB Nov 11 08:34:23 BeagleMon: you are not able to read/process/write a 50MHz signal on the BBB Nov 11 08:35:05 thanks Nov 11 08:42:30 well, it really depends on how hard you are willing to work and what you mean by process Nov 11 08:43:05 You have two prus, they could alternate sampling the signal, giving a rate of 25MHz, or 8 pru clock cycles Nov 11 08:44:48 and the other option is gpmc, but again, it depends on what you mean by process Nov 11 08:49:30 Russ: yeah, I intently didn't meantion the trivial case of like, copy gpio reg a to gpio reg b and repeat Nov 11 08:49:44 mostly to not confuse the asker. Nov 11 08:49:56 pretty sure you'd be out of luck using gpios Nov 11 08:50:10 unless maybe you are only interested in timing between signals or something like that Nov 11 08:51:13 but thats about the only case i could imagine to shift that data frequency through the BBB - have a pru run a tight loop of 2 or 3 instructions, plus one jump back. Nov 11 08:51:44 and how much can you do in 3 pru cycles? not much besides copying one value from a to b. Nov 11 08:52:22 is there any problem in changing the mode of sys_boot pins(P8.31,32) in BBB? Nov 11 08:52:40 get the data into a page of sram, switch to the other page, interrupt the cpu, etc Nov 11 08:53:29 Russ: in 3 cycles? Nov 11 08:54:13 split the work between two prus Nov 11 08:55:26 hm. would at least be an interesting proof of concept starting them exactly 4 cycles apart. Nov 11 08:56:02 if they are just moving data, edma+gpmc might be a better bet Nov 11 08:56:08 that's pretty uncharted waters though Nov 11 08:56:27 exactly why i didn't mention it. Nov 11 08:58:05 there is a solution for USB hotplug issue on Beagle? Nov 11 08:58:41 or is impossible resolve this? Nov 11 08:58:57 Is a software o hardware problem? Nov 11 09:04:45 hi Nov 11 09:04:59 hello all Nov 11 09:05:08 i am using beaglebone black Nov 11 09:05:53 can anyone tell me how to identify the serial pins i mean the numbering is there any hardware document describing that Nov 11 09:07:14 hello all Nov 11 09:07:24 anil: you need to loot ad the board layout (and perhaps schematics). Nov 11 09:07:53 usually there is also a square pin or a dot on the board to help identify pin number 1 Nov 11 09:08:31 that that + schematics will give you what you want. Nov 11 09:09:04 but note that if you want to attach a serial you need to attach your rx to they tx of the bone Nov 11 09:09:30 My BBB has dhcp enabled, but it takes ip address outside my classroom, my class 192.168.0.xx, instead BBB 169.254.191.253 Nov 11 09:09:47 WHY_ Nov 11 09:10:51 anil: http://letsmakerobots.com/files/userpics/u19048/B_3PinOut3.png Nov 11 09:11:19 it probably doesn't take but get that address. perhaps because the dhcp server is configured to keep unknown mac addresses out of certain networks? Nov 11 09:11:37 perhaps somebody is running an alternative dhcp server? Nov 11 09:12:14 and perhaps you are looking at the ip address given out on the usb cable Nov 11 09:13:08 anil: i think the p8 and p9 is switched over for the pic Nov 11 09:14:07 BeagleMon: yes looks wrong Nov 11 09:15:21 LetoThe2nd: As per the suggestion i tried to install Kernel from "git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git" but I received error : " error: index-pack died of signal 9447381), 802.20 MiB | 88 KiB/s fatal: index-pack failed "... can you pls help with a way. Nov 11 09:15:52 keesj:Friday, everything was ok, now I do not understand. The LAN to which 'connected the same ... Nov 11 09:16:10 beagle13: no, i don't do git support. Nov 11 09:16:32 oh thank you.. Nov 11 09:17:06 beagle13: because this has nothing to do with the kernel, the beagle, or compiling. Nov 11 09:18:28 keesj: my server DHCP, it work correctly Nov 11 09:19:48 can I ask something about arm compilers Nov 11 09:21:08 keesj: how to disable the DHCP in BBB? Nov 11 09:23:53 there is a solution for USB hotplug issue on Beagle? is impossible resolve it? Nov 11 09:24:07 latest SW? Nov 11 09:25:29 BeagleMon: it looks like only the labels where switched e.g. I looked in the SRM and pin21 of P8 *is* the mmc1_clk Nov 11 09:26:26 so on the drawning mmc1_clk is drawn at the correct place but the label on top should read P8 and not P9 Nov 11 09:28:08 that's also discussed here http://letsmakerobots.com/node/37063 Nov 11 09:29:46 av500: i have already kernel 3.8.13bone 28 Nov 11 09:29:51 but hotplug dont work Nov 11 09:31:38 there is a solution also not official? Nov 11 09:31:47 Quinto: how did u get kernel 3.8.13bone 28 Nov 11 09:32:03 what? Nov 11 09:32:27 i have this: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13 #1 SMP Thu Sep 5 20:26:50 CEST 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux Nov 11 09:33:14 i think that is the last kernel! Nov 11 09:33:32 available, but hotplug issue remain Nov 11 09:35:16 Quinto: yours is angstrom !! Nov 11 09:40:44 beagle13: yes and... Nov 11 09:47:52 beagle13: there is a solution for this? Nov 11 09:47:53 or no? Nov 11 09:48:02 in google i dont find nothing for solve Nov 11 09:48:50 Quinto: you have been told to follow that thread on google groups patiently. there is no reason to ask again and again here. Nov 11 09:49:14 but on google groups there isnt a solution! :( Nov 11 09:49:42 i want know only if is an hardware issue or software Nov 11 09:49:43 that is correct, and here isn't one either! Nov 11 09:54:29 dm8tbr: but is possible correct it in new kernel or no? Nov 11 09:54:38 if no i change board Nov 11 09:54:46 because i must buy 200 board Nov 11 09:54:57 and if hotplug unsopported i change board Nov 11 09:55:06 Quinto: change the board. Nov 11 09:55:12 i dont want pay 8000$ Nov 11 09:55:17 LetoThe2nd: why? Nov 11 09:55:22 you are sure? Nov 11 09:55:40 Quinto: we are not a paid support. if nobody answers, nobody knows. so nobody can tell you. asking more often will not change that. Nov 11 09:55:52 LetoThe2nd: ok Nov 11 09:56:13 Quinto: so because nobody knows, and nobody wants to her the question 100 more times, take it as "will not be fixed right now" Nov 11 09:56:22 Quinto: so please go and use another board. Nov 11 09:56:28 ok Nov 11 10:00:32 LetoThe2nd: sorry Nov 11 10:00:37 but BBB is nice Nov 11 10:02:27 Is there a way to find the amount of free space in BB microSD card through the terminal Nov 11 10:02:48 other than df -h Nov 11 10:03:04 whats wrong with df -h Nov 11 10:04:11 card is suppose to be 4GB, but as usual some space will be wasted .. so cannnot rely on difference betweeen total space and used space Nov 11 10:10:28 beagle13, the Avail column is what you're looking for Nov 11 10:13:02 I tried lsblk also ...I am confused with the output. Nov 11 10:13:11 what is wrong with df? Nov 11 10:13:43 size, used, avail Nov 11 10:13:47 the second column size doesnt add up to around 4 GB Nov 11 10:13:47 what else do you need? Nov 11 10:15:39 1.8G , 122M , 25M , 5.0 M , 122M , 1004K ; the sum doesnt even reach 3.5 GB Nov 11 10:16:27 can we see the complete output? Nov 11 10:16:47 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on Nov 11 10:17:28 pastebin Nov 11 10:17:33 .com Nov 11 10:17:36 good morning Nov 11 10:18:13 hi Nov 11 10:18:41 mmcblk0p2 1.8G Nov 11 10:19:38 pastebin the output of df -h Nov 11 10:21:35 devtmpfs 122M , none 25M , none 5.0 M , none 122M , mmcblk0p1 1004K Nov 11 10:21:52 Im not able to do a copy paste in this chat window Nov 11 10:22:26 you should never paste to a chat window anyway, iuse a pastebin :) Nov 11 10:23:31 beagle13, www.pastebin.com copy-paste-submit and put the link here for us to see Nov 11 10:27:03 pastebin.com/Gm08UbbY Nov 11 10:27:33 c10ud: thanks a lot for this new piece of kwldg Nov 11 10:28:10 beagle13, as you can see from the output you have a very big boot partition Nov 11 10:30:32 its just 1004 K .. Nov 11 10:30:58 beagle13, if you need more space you may want to recheck how you partitioned your card, 1Gib for boot is quite unusual since I only use 20 megs in mine Nov 11 10:31:30 ow, misread Nov 11 10:32:19 the hint is still valid though, you probably didn't use all the available space in the card when partitioning Nov 11 10:33:01 is it 1GiB or 1MiB Nov 11 10:33:26 1m Nov 11 10:35:41 beagle13, just remove the card from the bbb and check the partitioning, you'll see you have unused space and you hopefully can grow your root partition Nov 11 10:39:23 the problem is I was doing a kernel installation via git and evry time it get struck at "this error : error: index-pack died of signal 9447389), 801.75 MiB | 30 KiB/s fatal: index-pack failed ".. So i was doubting if my memory is used up for something else Nov 11 10:41:06 i don't know about this specific error but you have 122m left on the device Nov 11 10:41:56 anyway, since your root partition is 1.8G and you say the card is 4, clearly the partition isn't filling the card so you may want to enlarge it regardlessly Nov 11 10:43:40 trying to git clone and build a kernel on a 4G card will fail anyways. Nov 11 10:46:55 ok, i ask again (maybe now is someone here who can help me). i use debian (in the emmc) but it is missing the p80211 module? dows anyone knows where to get or how to build it? Nov 11 10:47:18 LetoThe2nd: Can you please tell me an alternative, i dont have nother way out.. Nov 11 10:47:32 beagle13: cross compiling. Nov 11 10:47:34 build the kernel on your PC Nov 11 10:47:38 not on your BBB Nov 11 10:47:49 beagle13: building a kernel on 4G is just not possible these days. Nov 11 10:47:52 ragnar76: debian from where? Nov 11 10:48:18 beagle13: plus, get a kernel that actually supports the BBB. i doubt that for the generic ubuntu precise kernel. Nov 11 10:49:28 cross-compilation I tried with the cross copiler as -"arm-linux-gnueabi-", when I try to insmod that cross compiled .ko file it says "Invalid module format" Nov 11 10:49:43 beagle13: sigh. you really are not listening. Nov 11 10:49:47 av500: from here http://beagleboard.org/project/Debian/ Nov 11 10:49:56 beagle13: you have to cross build the kernel *AND* the module. Nov 11 10:51:26 beagle13: or just use angstrom, and compile that module an target. i told you that already DAYS ago. Nov 11 10:51:53 LetoThe2nd: just a big doubt , all these difficulties I face is only because of Ubuntu Nov 11 10:52:12 beagle13: all your problems are coming from two things. 1) you are using ubuntu, but without understanding the realtion between kernel and userland 2) you are not listening. Nov 11 10:53:36 the reason for using Ubuntu is , there are so many other factors which depends on Ubuntu alone... for those there is no Angstrom support.. Nov 11 10:55:35 beagle13: but then, please also sort out the things that come from ubuntu, instead of blindly tinkering around Nov 11 10:56:01 ok.. Nov 11 10:56:32 beagle13: here is some basic information: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/ARMKernelCrossCompile Nov 11 10:56:47 beagle13: be sure to use a kernel tree that explicitly supports the BBB for that. Nov 11 11:05:49 ok, another question: when i build my own kernel, how can i tell the bbb to load it? uENV.txt? Nov 11 11:06:57 or is there some kind of bootloader like grub, sys/isolinux, lilo? Nov 11 11:08:06 ragnar76: the easiest way is to just drop it in using the same file name as before. Nov 11 11:08:46 okay Nov 11 11:11:05 anyone successfull build kernel 3.12? Nov 11 11:17:22 ragnar76: uEnv.txt Nov 11 15:16:33 hello Nov 11 15:16:44 hello Nov 11 15:17:08 any live person here? Nov 11 15:17:26 no, we're all dead, the zombie uprising got us Nov 11 15:17:41 * dm8tbr points at the topic Nov 11 15:17:42 I'm turning soon. I've been bitten. Nov 11 15:18:07 omnomnomnom Nov 11 15:18:15 * ogra_ munches brain ... Nov 11 15:19:36 * dm8tbr mutters steeeeepps, steeeeepps, exact steeeeeepps... Nov 11 15:19:51 i have a question Nov 11 15:20:14 15:20:08-!- Topic for #beagle: http://beagleboard.org/chat has a guide on how to ask questions and links to the logs | never ask to ask, just ask | be patient | pastebin a boot log | http://ahsoftware.de/Beaglebone_Black_Boot_explained.svg Nov 11 15:20:14 hello Nov 11 15:20:25 * dm8tbr points out the "never ask to ask, just ask" part Nov 11 15:20:36 hello Nov 11 15:20:54 * dm8tbr ponders if jamesjamesss is trolling him Nov 11 15:21:15 dm8tbr, exact steps ? ... 1) catch men ... 2) twist cap of skull .. 3) munch brain Nov 11 15:21:28 beaglebone black lost USB once i flash it Nov 11 15:21:41 i'm sure it software Nov 11 15:22:23 jamesjamesss: so you are trying to flash the BBB using the angstrom flasher image? Nov 11 15:23:32 I copy the image to mico SD and bootup up from MicroSD. the image copy to MMC Nov 11 15:24:11 once i boot up no USB connecton so i can't connect to notebook or any usb devices Nov 11 15:25:28 anybody know a fix? Nov 11 15:25:42 jamesjamesss: what image are you using? Nov 11 15:26:18 latest one from the beaglebone website Nov 11 15:26:33 i pick the mmc image Nov 11 15:26:34 ok, angstrom should have usb enabled. Nov 11 15:26:58 when i got it the USB was working but not after the image update Nov 11 15:27:27 did you really follow the update procedure? 1) use the flasher-image, 2) wait for 4 lit leds? Nov 11 15:27:35 or did you invent your own? Nov 11 15:27:53 i follow it Nov 11 15:28:00 it boots up Nov 11 15:29:31 then you probably need to dig deeper. or at least, be more precise - are we talking about the host or the device USB? Nov 11 15:30:04 both the computer access and usb devices like keyboard Nov 11 15:30:32 it like the USB is not turn on Nov 11 15:31:05 * LetoThe2nd has not checked the latest image so, pure guesswork from my side. Nov 11 15:31:16 are they plugged in at boot, and how are you powering? Nov 11 15:31:32 i try both Nov 11 15:33:20 plug in without power then power. power on then plug in the devices Nov 11 15:35:59 nobody knows? Nov 11 15:38:57 jamesjamesss: OK well the first thing you should determine is if it's actually botting correctly. Nov 11 15:39:08 jamesjamesss: Can you SSH into it from a remote computer? Nov 11 15:39:50 jamesjamesss: Or via the USB client? Nov 11 15:40:11 also first boot after flashing takes LONG Nov 11 15:40:15 nope Nov 11 15:40:17 wait 10-20 minutes Nov 11 15:40:27 jamesjamesss: Yes, what dm8tbr stated is correct as well. Nov 11 15:40:46 jamesjamesss: So if you can't then there's your problem, you didn't flash it correctly Nov 11 15:40:57 jamesjamesss: Do what dm8tbr stated first, if not re-flash correctly Nov 11 15:41:43 jamesjamesss: Once you re-flash (after waiting as dm8tbr stated), wait until the 4 LEDs are SOLID to power off and remove the microSD Nov 11 15:42:11 i left it on all night Nov 11 15:42:17 jamesjamesss: Then WAIT once powering it back on, until you see the steady heartbeat of the USR0 LED or 18 minutes Nov 11 15:42:19 hi, can put libusb-1.0.16 on beagle board? from repository there isnt Nov 11 15:42:43 jamesjamesss: OK then you didn't flash it correctly. If you cannot SSH into it, you did not flash it correctly. Nov 11 15:43:08 jamesjamesss: Do you have a serial connector? Nov 11 15:43:40 jamesjamesss: I would reflash the board, but ensure you wait until you see the 4 LEDs light up SOLID to power it off and remove the microSD Nov 11 15:43:43 yes Nov 11 15:44:19 i left it all night Nov 11 15:44:33 Yes, but did you see the 4 LEDs light SOLID? Nov 11 15:44:39 i past out Nov 11 15:44:51 They stay SOLID until you power it off Nov 11 15:44:53 when i boot it i see all led lights up Nov 11 15:44:58 If you did not see them solid you did it wrong Nov 11 15:45:27 What OS are you using to ocnfigure the microSD? Nov 11 15:45:41 If on linux, format the microSD using NTFS Nov 11 15:47:15 then run this command: xz -dkcv .img.gz Nov 11 15:47:46 ensure you're root, otherwise that command won't work, even using sudo. Nov 11 15:48:25 woops, forgot the ">" after the *.img.gz file Nov 11 15:48:28 windows Nov 11 15:49:50 hi, can put libusb-1.0.16 on beagle board? from repository there isnt Nov 11 15:50:29 jamesjamesss: OK, then here's a link that will help you in windows: http://www.beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started#update Nov 11 15:51:03 i will flash it now then Nov 11 15:51:07 reflash it Nov 11 15:52:46 how long will it take Nov 11 15:54:11 gnarf, building the kernel is much faster than building the deb package :( Nov 11 15:57:29 you guys have problem with hdmi? Nov 11 15:57:45 jamesjamesss: Flashing it may take up to 45 minutes (some times longer) Nov 11 15:58:05 jamesjamesss: You need to be patient and wait until you see the 4 USR LEDs LIGHT SOLID Nov 11 15:58:17 jamesjamesss: If you do anything before that, you'll ruin the flash Nov 11 15:58:44 jamesjamesss: Even if you pass out, the 4 USR LEDs will be waiting for you SOLID Nov 11 15:58:50 jamesjamesss: :) Nov 11 15:59:01 i never checked Nov 11 15:59:20 jamesjamesss: I know, so do it again and wait until you see that sign Nov 11 15:59:39 i had plans with my girlfrend Nov 11 16:00:11 i about to return the beaglebone if reflash fails Nov 11 16:02:56 md5sum your image if you haven't already Nov 11 16:03:01 then there's really no way that flash should fail Nov 11 16:03:31 keep 5v plugged in and usb, with no extra stuff connected so it has full power Nov 11 16:03:32 no worries Nov 11 16:04:06 i only have 5v plug in not the usb Nov 11 16:04:13 should be good then Nov 11 16:05:06 i just plg the usb Nov 11 16:07:03 don't need the usb, I have an extra usb battery pack hooked to mine, which isn't usual Nov 11 16:08:51 Hello Nov 11 16:09:41 ma nishma Nov 11 16:09:53 Difficult to say. Nov 11 16:10:07 You? :) Nov 11 16:10:53 I'm good Nov 11 16:11:50 Expatriate? Nov 11 16:13:15 aren't all jews expatriate by their definition? Nov 11 16:13:35 Why? Nov 11 16:14:26 holy land given by god and diaspora and stuff Nov 11 16:14:51 Most are there now. Nov 11 16:15:17 darn, the buildscript uses the x86 depmod, not the arm one Nov 11 16:27:48 I should have ordered two boards instead of one. Nov 11 16:28:09 Ah well, I'm not waiting for this RMA to come in, going to order another BBB now. Nov 11 16:31:23 eggzeck: i will order a 2nd one in a few days Nov 11 16:31:47 ragnar76: Yeah, it's always good to have more than one. Nov 11 16:33:32 eggzeck: they are more expensive than the raspies here in germany but they are more powerfull and have a working usb/ethernet (not the crap one in the raspi) Nov 11 16:39:27 ragnar76: Well worth the money. As you said, more powerful. And (I believe) more versatile due to its headers. Nov 11 16:40:24 eggzeck: i will only use software thing, i'm not into hardware Nov 11 16:41:32 maybe i will buy a vga or dvi cape to connect older displays Nov 11 16:41:37 but you still need working hardware to run your software ;) Nov 11 16:43:05 mine works except wlan with ap (missing 80211 part in debian). the reason why i build my very own kernel Nov 11 17:02:57 hello Nov 11 17:03:05 it has been flash Nov 11 17:03:13 all the led is lighted up Nov 11 17:05:19 OK, now turn off the device Nov 11 17:05:27 UNPLUG the power source Nov 11 17:05:33 then remove the microSD Nov 11 17:05:48 done Nov 11 17:06:14 power it back on and WAIT at least 15 minutes or until you see the steady heartbeat on the USR0 LED. I would wait 15 minutes though to be sure Nov 11 17:06:23 Also, make sure to plug in an ethernet cable Nov 11 17:06:39 then you can SSH into it remotely to be sure it booted correctly, etc. Nov 11 17:06:55 i don't have ethernet Nov 11 17:07:20 OK then use the USB client or a serial conection Nov 11 17:12:48 why the 15 min wait? Nov 11 17:18:56 i don't see the d: drive for the flash? Nov 11 17:19:16 i can't open the ssh using gate one Nov 11 17:22:39 Hey everyone Nov 11 17:23:04 looking for a little help setting up my beagle board Nov 11 17:29:14 my usb works now but my gate one for ssl don't work Nov 11 17:30:36 I just need some advice about getting my board up and running. It would be awesome if someone could help Nov 11 17:33:16 how do I build mplayer? Nov 11 17:33:23 for ti sitara 6.0 Nov 11 17:34:03 sulphurik:what you need? Nov 11 17:35:12 I have a beagleboard b6 and i put angstrom on an sd card but all i get when i turn it on is an orange screen Nov 11 17:35:15 router: use a crosscompiler Nov 11 17:37:02 Sulphurik:on LCD or monitor? Nov 11 17:37:12 router : on monitor Nov 11 17:37:21 through hdmi Nov 11 17:37:58 ragnar76:what is your env.txt on your sd card?

Nov 11 17:49:28 sulphurib: do you boot from SD card? Nov 11 17:51:52 router : yeah, i have an 8gb sd card Nov 11 17:52:26 you boot the mlo, u-boot.img on your sd card. Nov 11 17:52:52 can you check the boot message from the serial port? Nov 11 17:53:40 i just used winimage to put angstom onto the sd card.....i don't have a null modem cable Nov 11 17:54:02 mlo and u-boot are on the sd card Nov 11 17:55:14 how about a USB to RS232 cable? Nov 11 17:55:18 you need one to do the debug. Nov 11 17:55:55 i may have to buy one Nov 11 17:56:37 u connect your board to monitor's VGA or HDMI port? Nov 11 17:57:04 hdmi....it shows the beagle logo and then just an orange screen Nov 11 17:57:28 oh Nov 11 17:57:48 then mlo and uboot ok. Nov 11 17:58:10 any idea why it won't boot to the desktop? Nov 11 18:01:28 sulphurik: is there a S-Video output on your board? Nov 11 18:01:51 yes Nov 11 18:02:02 sulphurik: create a uEnv.txt and add Nov 11 18:02:02 defaultdisplay=dvi Nov 11 18:02:03 dvimode="1280x800MR-16@60 omapfb.vram=0:8M,1:4M,2:4M" Nov 11 18:02:03 vram=16M Nov 11 18:02:08 to your u-boot Nov 11 18:02:16 The BeagleBoard.org logo will be sent out of the DVI port and the color bars will appear on the S-Video Port Nov 11 18:02:38 maybe that is the reason"The BeagleBoard.org logo will be sent out of the DVI port and the color bars will appear on the S-Video Port" Nov 11 18:04:15 router : the first line in uEnv.txt is "console=tty0" Nov 11 18:04:22 is it ok to leave that ? Nov 11 18:04:34 or should that be the last line? Nov 11 18:05:19 what is ok. Nov 11 18:06:02 there was a line in the uEnv that says "console-tty0" is that ok? Nov 11 18:06:10 yup. Nov 11 18:07:11 have to leave Nov 11 18:07:13 i think your video output is S-Video' Nov 11 18:07:13 bbl Nov 11 18:07:17 thank you Nov 11 18:07:28 ragnar76:thx for the help Nov 11 18:07:32 if that doesn't work is there something else i can try?

Nov 11 19:45:42 <`Ishq> Has anyone controlled a sprinkler valve with the beaglebone black? Nov 11 19:46:15 <_av500_> I did, but then the BBB got all wet and died :( Nov 11 19:46:21 <`Ishq> Lol Nov 11 19:46:38 <`Ishq> Can you do it with only GPIO ports? Nov 11 19:46:41 <`Ishq> <-- Newbie Nov 11 19:47:12 <_av500_> sure Nov 11 19:47:13 <_av500_> thats what they are for Nov 11 19:47:26 <_av500_> GPIO low: dry, GPIO high: flood Nov 11 19:47:36 <_av500_> or they other way round Nov 11 19:47:53 <`Ishq> Well, in my case, I'm not controlling sprinklers, I just happened to pick a sprinkler valve for another project. Nov 11 19:47:59 <`Ishq> It's just air in this case. Nov 11 19:48:29 <`Ishq> Now, I just need to figure out how to boost the voltage... Nov 11 19:51:07 you use relays Nov 11 19:51:27 there are some boards and some blog posts about how to do that Nov 11 19:52:01 `Ishq: someone G+ had a cape for black to do water sprinkler system Nov 11 19:53:30 <`Ishq> Yeah, but a cape is aa little overboard for what I want. Nov 11 19:53:36 <`Ishq> I'm reading a lot of posts, and yeah Nov 11 19:53:41 let me look it up, there was some nice board a friend of mine bought. on one side gpio on the other relays Nov 11 19:53:49 <`Ishq> I'm reading you acn use a relay or maybe a mofset Nov 11 19:53:52 <`Ishq> *can Nov 11 19:54:23 sorry for the german link, but it should get you the idea: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00AEIDWXK/ref=pe_386171_37038021_pe_217221_31005211_3p_M3T1_dp_1 Nov 11 19:55:31 apparently it's a "SainSmart 8 Channel DC 5V Relay Module" Nov 11 19:55:48 `Ishq: yes you can just use a relay, pretty easy to do with a gpio Nov 11 19:55:48 <`Ishq> Thanks Nov 11 19:56:52 or a mosfet, depending on use-case Nov 11 20:36:52 `Ishq: if you connect a relay to a BBB (or any microcontroller board) make sure you use a transistor (bipolar or FET) to actually switch the relay. the GPIO output current is not enough to drive a relay and you might damage the chip if you connect it directly Nov 11 20:37:03 n'abend woglinde Nov 11 20:42:57 hello Nov 11 20:43:26 k Nov 11 20:43:55 does anyone know how to install tkinter on BBB Nov 11 20:48:15 HOW TO INSTALL TKINTER IN THE BBB?

Nov 11 22:31:55 no me. no jtag Nov 11 22:32:11 I am not sure if you are using XDS-100v2 or XDS-560 debuggers. Nov 11 22:32:11 - If you are using the XDS-100v2, you can activate the free license from Nov 11 22:32:11 TI. Nov 11 22:32:18 it is what i found on google Nov 11 22:34:05 Not a licence problem. Just need to setup include files so cross compile works. Nov 11 22:36:56 ok. sorry. i dont have the experience Nov 11 22:47:05 <`Ishq> KotH: Thanks. Good to know.
