Dec 07 09:09:21 <tamnir> Hi all, I am trying to setup a server on a BeagleBone Black. I want to try and use Angstrom, but I want start from scratch and install only the packages I need...
Dec 07 09:10:02 <tamnir> Any pointers on how to install Angstrom "from scratch" on the BBB?
Dec 07 09:15:37 <anujdeshpande> tamnir: you can look into opkg. it's the package manager for Angstrom. you can get rid of the packages that you don't need using opkg remove
Dec 07 09:22:49 <tbr> if narcissus is online, you can build a minimal FS with that
Dec 07 09:22:59 <tbr> or you can build all of angstrom locally
Dec 07 09:55:41 <sathishc> how to use beaglebon black as mini computer.. what is the procedure for that? can anyone help??...
Dec 07 09:56:22 <Defiant> you plug it in
Dec 07 10:01:57 <Quinto> hi, is possible transfer a file from pc to BBB via serial cable? is possible dont use a ssh connection?
Dec 07 10:05:08 <_av500_> of course
Dec 07 10:05:51 <_av500_> if yoiu connect 2 computers, in most cases it is to exchange information
Dec 07 10:14:14 <Quinto> and how transfer a file from my pc to BBB
Dec 07 10:14:55 <Quinto> for example i want transfer myfile from /home/lucid/myfile to /test/myfile on my BBB
Dec 07 10:16:33 <sathishc> to use as a standalone computer.. what is th eprocedure??
Dec 07 10:16:52 <tbr> sathishc: you plug it in
Dec 07 10:18:30 <sathishc> i am asking how to connect mouse ,keyboad & power to the board..
Dec 07 10:18:57 <tbr> USB
Dec 07 10:20:23 <sathishc> first i have to connect usb hub to the board & then power it up.  is it right?. is it necessary to connect ethernet cable?
Dec 07 10:20:54 <tbr> if you need a network connection, then yes
Dec 07 10:22:52 <sathishc> after powering up is it nesscessary to instaal any drivers to access the gpios??
Dec 07 10:24:24 <tbr> you may need to  to adjust the devicetree
Dec 07 10:24:57 <sathishc> how to do that/
Dec 07 10:25:24 <tbr> that is well documented
Dec 07 10:31:08 <sathishc> can u pls give any source for that?
Dec 07 10:38:24 <tbr> sathishc: http://bit.ly/19os3eC
Dec 07 11:43:38 <sayali> hey all! I have android running on BBB. Trying to connect to the internet on it  but cant seem to  figure how to. Has anybody tried?
Dec 07 11:45:01 <anujdeshpande> sayali: perhaps you can try the mailing list
Dec 07 11:45:43 <sayali> anujdeshpande: i shall. just trying all options:)
Dec 07 11:48:57 <sathishc> can anyone say, how to start programming the beaglebone black board pins ?
Dec 07 12:08:29 <anujdeshpande> sathishc: https://github.com/prpplague/Userspace-Arduino
Dec 07 13:17:35 <tamnir> >tbr Thanks a lot! I am taking a look at narcissus, looks like just what I needed.
Dec 07 13:20:55 <tamnir> About Narcissus: I am targeting a BeagleBone Blac, but I see no machine choice on Narcissus. Is "beagleboard" appropriate?
Dec 07 13:22:24 <tbr> yes
Dec 07 15:08:11 <WA2EIN> Good Morn ing!!!
Dec 07 15:18:16 * N2TOH indeed
Dec 07 15:18:44 <N2TOH> WA2EIN, what sort of project are you interested in?
Dec 07 15:59:31 <sefat> i am facing problem flashing the beaglebone black can anybody please help me
Dec 07 16:01:08 <sefat> i am facing problem flashing the beaglebone black can anybody please help me
Dec 07 16:05:05 <vvu|Log> sefat: what problems ?
Dec 07 16:05:57 <sefat> i deleted my MLO file of running os . and then tying to flashing a new os but i cant .
Dec 07 16:07:13 <sefat> i am facing problem flashing the beaglebone black can anybody please help me
Dec 07 16:42:11 <NSollars> Hi all,  I am using kernel 3.12.0 on beaglebone black,  has anyone been seeing corruption on a microSD card ?,  ive been using a 8GB class10 card on the laptop for a while and when I mount it on the bone ( SD Slot ) its auto corrupted at that point.
Dec 07 16:43:03 <NSollars> I formatted the SD card ext4,
Dec 07 16:49:45 <WA2EIN> No problems with the SD card , just dont power off.  Make sure you do A CONTROLLED SHUTDOWN
Dec 07 16:56:04 <NSollars> WA2EIN, cool,  ok um I am seeing strange behavior with ext4 ( formatted on latest Ubuntu ), where if I mount the SD on the bone itle corrupt the filesystem immediately on mount.  Ive just tested with XFS all is well.  Just trying to save others a bit of pain.
Dec 07 17:49:22 <hamfist> hello
Dec 07 17:49:43 <hamfist> does anyone here run perl scripts fromt eh node server on the BBB please?
Dec 07 17:52:18 <hamfist> i was wondering if that would be easier than python cgi + os system call, since i want the stuff to be runnable out the box...
Dec 07 19:44:13 <manzanor> Can I ask someone to look at this forum post regarding spi and the beagle bone and tell me where I am going wrong?:  http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=46720
Dec 07 20:26:03 <dury> hi there channel :-)
Dec 07 20:27:40 <dury> I'm running BBB (mouse, keyboard, monitor by hdmi)
Dec 07 20:28:59 <manzanor> nice dury!
Dec 07 20:29:09 <manzanor> how are you surfing the web?
Dec 07 20:34:52 <dury> a bit slow but it's all right
Dec 07 20:39:11 <dury> manzanor: I've red this http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Debian_NetInstall but I'm not able to do that. I want debian to be the default OS in my BBB
Dec 07 20:40:37 <dury> I've got 16 GB sd card if it's needed
Dec 07 20:42:10 <dury> manzanor: what should I do first?
Dec 07 20:51:04 <manzanor> hey dury are you running angstrom os right now?
Dec 07 20:51:29 <manzanor> I have the 16 gb sd card that I flashed with an ubuntu image that is set as my default os
Dec 07 20:52:53 <dury> manzanor: angstrom running right now, that's right :-)
Dec 07 20:53:57 <dury> manzanor: how do I do that with debian would you please help me?
Dec 07 20:54:25 <manzanor> yeah ill try no prob.
Dec 07 20:54:41 <manzanor> do you have a sd card reader/writer, cuz you will need that
Dec 07 20:55:34 <dury> yeah I got that
Dec 07 20:55:56 <manzanor> take a quick look at this tutorial:  http://shrkey.com/setting-up-beaglebone-black-to-boot-off-the-microsd-card/
Dec 07 20:56:01 <manzanor> ive found that to be the most helpful
Dec 07 20:56:13 <dury> all right
Dec 07 20:56:25 <dury> see what I can do
Dec 07 20:58:45 <manzanor> cool im looking through my notes to remind myself of what ive done
Dec 07 21:01:17 <manzanor> also, another thing that I found to be essential is, when booting off the sd card, you have a micro-hdmi connector connected to a monitor so you can see what it is doing, as opposed to trying to ssh into it via another computer
Dec 07 21:19:36 <dury> hi again
Dec 07 21:19:41 <dury> :-)
Dec 07 21:19:47 <dury> manzanor?
Dec 07 21:20:01 <manzanor> hey duty, howre things going?
Dec 07 21:20:05 <manzanor> dury*
Dec 07 21:20:51 <dury> manzanor what was the url you typed before for me?
Dec 07 21:21:05 <manzanor> http://shrkey.com/setting-up-beaglebone-black-to-boot-off-the-microsd-card/
Dec 07 21:21:50 <manzanor> did you get my tip about when booting off the microsd card to use an micro-hdmi cable to a monitor and not trying to ssh into the beagle bone?
Dec 07 21:40:49 <dury> manzanor: I did http://shrkey.com/setting-up-beaglebone-black-to-boot-off-the-microsd-card/
Dec 07 21:41:26 <manzanor> and what happened?
Dec 07 21:43:08 <dury> then? I've downloaded "debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz" and I've copied into sd card
Dec 07 21:43:48 <dury> manzanor: then? I've downloaded "debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz" and I've copied into sd card
Dec 07 21:45:37 <manzanor> boot your beaglebone from the microsd card looking at the output via microhdmi cable to monitor
Dec 07 21:45:55 <manzanor> youre going to need to hold down the USER/BOOT button when booting from sd card
Dec 07 21:46:36 <dury> manzanor: then? plug the usb card reader with sd card into BBB
Dec 07 21:46:55 <manzanor> no theres a microsd card slot in your beaglebone
Dec 07 21:46:59 <manzanor> slot it in there
Dec 07 21:52:28 <dury> manzanor: then? from angstrom say to reboot the system and hold down the user/boot buton, right?
Dec 07 21:53:10 <manzanor> yeah, I would turn the power off first, then turn in on while holding down the user/boot button
Dec 07 21:53:16 <manzanor> it*
Dec 07 21:59:59 <dury> manzanor: doesn't boot holding that button :-(
Dec 07 22:00:37 <dury> not ac adapter
Dec 07 22:01:29 <NSollars> do you have a 3.3v ftdi cable?
Dec 07 22:01:37 <NSollars> you can monitor the console
Dec 07 22:02:18 <dury> http://www.adafruit.com/adablog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/1278kit_LRG.jpg
Dec 07 22:02:27 <dury> got those
Dec 07 22:03:02 <NSollars> those are the supplied things,
Dec 07 22:03:22 <manzanor> youre saying none of the usr leds light up?
Dec 07 22:03:50 <NSollars> http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Accessories#Standard_FTDI_Cable
Dec 07 22:04:04 <NSollars> you may want to pick up one of the 3.3v cables there
Dec 07 22:04:22 <NSollars> I suggest digikey
Dec 07 22:04:34 <manzanor> my question is, how did you write the image to the sd card?  did you just drag and drop, or did you actually format it etc...?
Dec 07 22:07:15 <dury> only the one beside ac connector
Dec 07 22:08:29 <dury> just copy the image and paste into sd card
Dec 07 22:10:11 <dury> format it and then copy the image and paste in sd card
Dec 07 22:13:13 <manzanor> no you cant just copy and paste it
Dec 07 22:14:04 <NSollars> dd is your friend ;)
Dec 07 22:14:24 <manzanor> yes sir it is
Dec 07 22:14:39 <manzanor> or you can use http://ivanx.com/raspberrypi/ to write the os image on your sd card
Dec 07 22:14:45 <manzanor> its a program called pi filler
Dec 07 22:15:08 <manzanor> used for hte raspberry pi but it should work fine in writing the image to your sd card for the beaglebone
Dec 07 22:15:29 <manzanor> dury im gonna be away for ~30 mins
Dec 07 22:15:49 <dury> why?
Dec 07 22:16:39 <NSollars> why what?
Dec 07 22:20:49 <dury> manzanor can it be done with mac OSX
Dec 07 22:21:35 <manzanor> writing the image
Dec 07 22:21:37 <manzanor> yes it can
Dec 07 22:22:10 <dury> got my macbook
Dec 07 22:22:20 <manzanor> under applications>utilities>disk utility oughta do it to
Dec 07 22:22:25 <manzanor> so theres 3 ways
Dec 07 22:22:40 <manzanor> ill be back in a bit im grabbing some food with a mate
Dec 07 23:40:15 <hfgh> hi
Dec 07 23:58:51 <vaizki> evening puppies
Dec 08 00:46:56 <dury> hi there again
Dec 08 00:47:38 <dury> I'm doing my best boot debian and install it BBB but not success
Dec 08 00:47:56 <dury> what I dis is:
Dec 08 00:48:10 <dury> dis = did  sorry
Dec 08 00:50:54 <dury> downloaded http://www.armhf.com/index.php/download/
Dec 08 00:51:21 <dury> debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz
Dec 08 00:51:40 <dury> unpack it
Dec 08 00:51:58 <dury> got .img file
Dec 08 00:53:34 <dury> then burn it in a sd card using this command "sudo dd if=~/Downloads/debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img of=/dev/sdb1"
Dec 08 00:54:51 <vaizki> I'm pretty sure you should dd it to /dev/sdb and not a specific partition...
Dec 08 00:55:26 <vaizki> also a bs= parameter might help make it happen 10x faster ;)
Dec 08 00:55:36 <vaizki> what's wrong with the instructions, on the download page?
Dec 08 00:55:54 <vaizki> xz -cd debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz > /dev/sdb
Dec 08 00:56:28 <vaizki> oh and I do not take responsibility for /dev/sdb being your sd card device :D
Dec 08 00:56:38 <vaizki> check, doublecheck, check again
Dec 08 00:56:55 <dury> then plugged sd-card in its drive and boot holding down User/Botton
Dec 08 01:14:27 <dury> vaizki: xz -cd debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz > /dev/sdb in angstrom terminal
Dec 08 01:19:43 <vaizki> dury: was that a question or statement?
Dec 08 01:20:10 <dury> a question vaizki
Dec 08 01:20:54 <dury> vaizki can you assist me to do it, please?
Dec 08 01:21:17 <vaizki> I'm drinking tequila here and it's 3:20am
Dec 08 01:21:23 <vaizki> are you sure you need help
Dec 08 01:21:36 <dury> of course mate
Dec 08 01:21:59 <vaizki> well yes run that command in the terminal.. assuming /dev/sdb is the right device for sd
Dec 08 01:22:13 <vaizki> just follow the instructions on the download page you yourself linked
Dec 08 01:22:37 <dury> but be more specific please
Dec 08 01:23:41 <vaizki> more specific than giving you an exact command to type?
Dec 08 01:24:09 <dury> I'm in other pc got the sdcard plugged card reader
Dec 08 01:24:31 <dury> by usb
Dec 08 01:25:08 <dury> you didn't write the exact command
Dec 08 01:25:46 <dury> xz -cd debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz > /dev/sdb  this one
Dec 08 01:25:57 <dury> xz -cd debian-wheezy-7.2-armhf-3.8.13-bone30.img.xz > /dev/sdb  this one?
Dec 08 01:26:57 <vaizki> yes...
Dec 08 01:27:13 <vaizki> but I don't know if /dev/sdb is right.
Dec 08 01:27:21 <dury> after typed that got: bash: /dev/sdb: Permission denied
Dec 08 01:27:33 <vaizki> if you don't know either, you need to make sure
Dec 08 01:27:49 <dury> I know but how?
Dec 08 01:27:53 <vaizki> ok so a) you need to do it as root
Dec 08 01:28:05 <vaizki> b) there can't be any filesystems mounted from the sd
Dec 08 01:28:39 <vaizki> I have a very bad feeling you will shoot yourself in the foot here
Dec 08 01:28:56 <vaizki> question: do you know what is the device for your sd card?
Dec 08 01:29:40 <dury> if type df -h I will know that, correct
Dec 08 01:29:57 <dury> or not?
Dec 08 01:30:45 <vaizki> so your answer is: I don't know but I might know how to find out.
Dec 08 01:30:53 <vaizki> well find out
Dec 08 01:33:20 <dury> filesystem /dev/sdb1 is mounted on /media/debian
Dec 08 01:35:18 <dury> I've typed "df -h" it shows where sd is
Dec 08 01:39:28 <dury> tomorrow more :-)
Dec 08 01:42:52 <vaizki> so looking forward to it.. :)
Dec 08 02:03:27 <stealthgamer> hey I have looked at beaglebone black and i love it but i want to be able to run a ds emulator on it any ideas people?
Dec 08 02:04:04 <SpeedEvil> google 'beaglebone black' 'DS emulator'
Dec 08 02:05:42 <stealthgamer> thanks speedevil but was woundering if there was any programs for arm processor?
Dec 08 02:06:22 <SpeedEvil> Well - do the above
Dec 08 02:18:09 <nimrod_> hi All
Dec 08 02:18:57 <nimrod_> I had a bit of a noobs question re the headers on the BBB.  I would like to set up some ribbon cables to run from the P8 and the P9 to a vero board.
Dec 08 02:19:41 <nimrod_> Are they 2X 23 headers, with 2.54 mm pitch on the 23 pins and 1.27 mm pitch between rows?
Dec 08 02:21:25 <vaizki> I would say yes but a wise man would check the pcb layout?
Dec 08 02:24:24 <vaizki> can I ask.. why do you want to bring all th pins to a vero board?
Dec 08 02:33:01 <mrpackethead> nimrod_: yes, they are just .1" pitch
Dec 08 02:33:18 <mrpackethead> some of the pins wont' like having a lot of cable attached them
Dec 08 02:53:35 <nimrod_> some wont ,like cable attached .... really? Not even 0.3 m?
Dec 08 02:53:54 <dev_> Hi
Dec 08 02:54:32 <dev_> What's the difference between a rpi and one of these?
Dec 08 02:54:36 <nimrod_> I'm using 8 or so pins on each header.  Not all of them.
Dec 08 02:55:23 <nimrod_> dev_...lots more gpio pins, graphics not as good, twice the processor capability. Less maturity.
Dec 08 02:57:46 <nimrod_> is the between row pitch 1.27 mm?
Dec 08 02:59:45 <mrpackethead> no.
Dec 08 02:59:48 <mrpackethead> its all 2.54
Dec 08 02:59:57 <mrpackethead> or .1"
