**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 26 02:59:59 2013 Dec 26 03:23:02 I am looking at updating the beagle board, however... It is talking entirely about flashing an sd card. So far as I can tell my beaglebone black isn't using an sd card. Dec 26 03:23:40 I am very confused about what it is running on now, can I update that? Dec 26 03:27:37 iammerrick: cat /etc/issue to determine current os. Dec 26 03:29:17 Dr{Who}: Angstrom v2012.12 - Kernel Dec 26 03:30:11 Dr{Who}: I am currently decompressing BBB-eMMC-flasher-2013.09.04.img.xz (but I'm about 20 minutes in not sure how long decompression takes) Dec 26 03:35:21 iammerrick: a while. and then it takes a while to flash the onboard emmc Dec 26 03:37:04 Dr{Who}: Ok, so I will use the same technique as described for the SD card only using the BEAGLEBONE (disk1 according to diskutil)? The size discrepancy (2GB for the pkg vs 74MB for the emmc) has me nervous about flashing it. Dec 26 03:38:39 its a full linux distro that runs with the sole purpose of flashing the emmc so its bigger yes. Dec 26 03:39:36 Dr{Who}: Got it, thank you! (I am a web programmer so all this hardware stuff is very new to me.) Dec 26 04:16:07 Hi there.. I am trying to find a psp linux image for beagleboneblack with no luck.. where i can fnd one? i need 3.2psp... Dec 26 04:36:44 hello, anyone out there know any tutorials for pasm programming for the prussv2 on the beaglebone black? already used the am335x pru package and some other examples, but haven't really found anything simple. Trying to learn the assembly but having some problems digesting the 3 examples; is there something more simple available? Dec 26 07:06:54 Hi..Can anyone help in finding the default mode to which beaglebone is set.. Dec 26 08:23:11 Hmm, I can't seem to be able to access my BeagleBone from Linux. :/ Dec 26 08:23:17 Is there a udev debug log? Dec 26 10:15:54 dang to-link usb wifi!!! can't get it to work!!! Dec 26 10:16:02 *tp-link Dec 26 10:50:34 a wonderfull, chocolaty good morning everyone! Dec 26 12:55:55 hello, I have used my raspberry pi with the wiringPi libray which is very comfortable to code in C-language. Is there a simlar way for my BeagleBoard-xm? I have Debian 7.3 installed. Dec 26 13:11:27 any knowledge about DVD EZMaker 7 if it works with the BBB kernel ? Dec 26 13:12:09 it's an usb video capture dongle Dec 26 15:09:30 <[olli]> re ppl.. Dec 26 15:11:40 <[olli]> I've a need in an ethernet with ability to disable dropping of damaged frames for research reasons. Is it possible to make such an option on beagle board? Dec 26 15:16:49 What did you want todo with the damage frames? Dec 26 16:23:50 <[olli]> Jonnyw2k, I'm going to make a research related to some specific networking issues. Dec 26 16:53:34 [olli]: read the TRM, it will tell you if the hardware can do that Dec 26 17:00:35 <[olli]> KotH, I was just asking for a quick answer 'yes' or 'no'. Generally I already decided that I need someone w/ greater skills in electronics than I have. If I'll not succeed finding such a person in my familiars circle - I'll try to find someone on the net (including IRC). Dec 26 17:01:23 [olli]: we might have greater skills than you (or maybe not), but we are still not omniscient Dec 26 17:01:46 [olli]: and checking the relevant documentation first, is the best thing you can do Dec 26 17:01:59 [olli]: it will enhance your skills too! Dec 26 17:02:19 [olli]: think of it as leveling in the real world Dec 26 17:02:50 <[olli]> KotH, I'd be glad if you point me to exact url for 'TRM'. Dec 26 17:02:58 technical reference manual Dec 26 17:03:00 for the processor Dec 26 17:03:07 google for it :) Dec 26 17:04:08 http://www.ti.com/general/docs/lit/getliterature.tsp?baseLiteratureNumber=spruh73&fileType=pdf Dec 26 17:04:09 <[olli]> oh.. you mean chipset for networking implemented in beagle board, I don't think that this has to relate to exactly CPU Dec 26 17:04:34 <[olli]> abilities. Dec 26 17:04:42 [olli]: uhmm.. you know that the AM359x is a SoC and not just a CPU? Dec 26 17:05:06 <[olli]> Jonnyw2k, thanks. Dec 26 17:08:00 http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?product=LAN8710A Dec 26 17:08:11 thats the LAN Chip I think Dec 26 17:09:07 <[olli]> KotH, sorry, I didn't read enough yet. I've some interest in implementing a custom computing device by using either beagle either raspberry. The 1st thing I've done is joined channels on freenode. :) I'll definitely read more in nearest two weeks (January holidays are right for that). Right today I realised that I will do some sort of research soon & just asked about possibilities to use beagle board here. Sorry that I didn't read dox 1st. Dec 26 17:09:51 <[olli]> Jonnyw2k, thank you! Dec 26 17:11:31 Raspberry Pi uses a USB Ethernet IIRC Dec 26 17:13:15 Random question how much brighter are the A5A LEDs to the A5B+ ones on the Beagebone Black Dec 26 17:13:43 * KotH does not know of any brightness measures of the different board revisions Dec 26 17:14:36 "2) Made the LEDs dimmer for those that could not sleep due to the brightness of the LEDs." Dec 26 17:17:53 <[olli]> KotH, thank you too. :) Dec 26 17:35:41 robacarp: no one invited you here.... go away! hehehe Dec 26 17:36:03 :o Dec 26 17:43:57 prpplague: so I'm just going to dd this .img because I don't want to start a windows VM to follow these insturctions... Dec 26 17:45:32 prpplague: being mean to the n00bs, again. are we? ;) Dec 26 17:45:49 KotH: of course Dec 26 17:45:57 it's the only way they'll learn Dec 26 17:49:14 I wish I knew how to make my linux terminal bigger Dec 26 17:49:51 hm, does this img contain a partition map, or should it be written into a partition? Dec 26 17:50:28 I suppose the latter Dec 26 17:52:05 losetup? Dec 26 19:14:48 i just got a beaglebone for christmas how do i begin Dec 26 19:15:26 hello, has anyone tried to remotely control beaglebone? Dec 26 19:15:53 how? Dec 26 19:16:03 Bob_ connect it to your laptop Dec 26 19:16:11 i have Dec 26 19:16:14 and follow the instructions in start.html Dec 26 19:16:22 have Dec 26 19:16:25 you'll see a flash drive there. Dec 26 19:16:33 uh huh Dec 26 19:16:45 cool ! you can use the cloud9ide from your browser then Dec 26 19:16:55 and make them leds blink :D Dec 26 19:17:16 how do i do beginning projects in it? Dec 26 19:17:56 well you can start with some small projects. or google for existing projects and try and implement them for a start Dec 26 19:18:06 ok thanks Dec 26 19:18:12 loads of them out there. try adafruit. they have pretty neat tutorials Dec 26 19:19:37 Nat0ne: you mean when it's connected to another network ? Dec 26 19:20:29 Nat0ne: you could look into the ssh protocol for remote login. Dec 26 19:20:30 yes Dec 26 19:20:48 I have it plugged to a power source Dec 26 19:21:25 you could connect it to your laptop initially and ssh into it. then you could try your home network. Dec 26 19:21:35 will work both ways Dec 26 19:21:49 I am reading about ssh... Dec 26 19:22:20 but it's only command line acess, right? Dec 26 19:22:46 yes Dec 26 19:22:55 I would like to have graphical envirnment Dec 26 19:23:44 you could still do that with ssh. some googling required, Dec 26 19:23:54 like teamviewer? Dec 26 19:23:59 hmmm ok Dec 26 19:24:17 I will check it out better than, thank you! Dec 26 19:33:01 * SantaGel looks for mrnanostay Dec 26 19:35:12 Nat0ne: afaik teamviewer is actual windows code that is run under an emulator on linux so it probably wont work or would eat too many resources. Try using VNC and this package angstrom-x11vnc-xinit for remote desktop access. Dec 26 19:59:59 yes true, teamviewer uses WINE Dec 26 20:00:06 yes I am trying VNC Dec 26 20:00:23 but I can't use that package, I have ubuntu on beaglebone Dec 26 20:00:36 not angstrom Dec 26 23:01:23 some has programed UART in BBB? Dec 26 23:10:11 Hi All, any one can guide me from where i can get the right startup sequence(uP registers initialization etc) for beaglebone black Dec 27 00:04:08 http://www.noritake-elec.com/evalkit-sample.php#contactForm Dec 27 02:15:46 Hello" Dec 27 02:21:10 * N2TOH hello! Dec 27 02:52:11 anyone know why I don't have a /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.8 directory on BBB? under Ubuntu 13.10. For reference I have HDMI disabled and want to use those pins. Dec 27 02:53:03 sheldonw: because maybe the ubuntu kernel doesn't include the cape manager? Dec 27 02:53:11 i was going to say :) Dec 27 02:53:41 I have a bone_capemgr.9 directory tho. and can use it fine. Dec 27 02:54:02 * prpplague laughs Dec 27 02:55:49 what's so funny bout that? Dec 27 02:59:01 there once was family with 8 children, they all stood in line from shortest to tallest. surprisingly the tallest was #8, the neighbors decided to do the same, but they had 9 children....... Dec 27 02:59:52 prpplague, your real arrogant fuck, eh? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 27 02:59:58 2013
