**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 29 02:59:58 2014 Jan 29 03:15:27 Alright, g'night all. :-) Jan 29 05:07:34 hi Jan 29 05:07:58 can anyone tell me how to write i2c clint drivers Jan 29 05:08:08 how to start it Jan 29 05:09:38 open vi Jan 29 05:09:41 ctrl z Jan 29 05:09:42 grep Jan 29 05:09:44 fg Jan 29 05:09:45 iterate Jan 29 06:05:07 hmmmm Jan 29 07:34:11 Hi, I have a memory question on the BBxM with Ubuntu 12.04 armhf......... is there a way to test its 512 MB RAM ? Jan 29 07:39:42 ? Jan 29 07:43:43 av500: is that question mark for me ? Jan 29 07:47:41 yes, I made it specially for you Jan 29 07:51:16 av500: ok, so what is your question ? Jan 29 07:57:45 if you run a kernel you can't test the ram freely Jan 29 07:58:43 morgen woglinde! Jan 29 07:59:41 tbr: you should stop trying to anticipate what people wanted to ask and instead answer their question Jan 29 08:00:43 he asked if he can test the ram under ubuntu 12.04. Jan 29 08:02:34 tbr, KotH: the reason I suspect my RAM is that synaptic and package-manager crash, and apt-get ends without doing anything. Jan 29 08:03:15 gm Jan 29 08:03:39 tbr: nope, he said he is running ubuntu. and asked whether there is a way to test the ram Jan 29 08:04:19 you can read it that way, maybe Jan 29 08:04:28 KotH: your customer now anyway Jan 29 08:06:05 also, checking with "free", running fvwm and 1 terminal, it shows 155264k free. This used to be 234356k. Jan 29 08:08:52 hvn: try compiling somethign, like libc or kernel Jan 29 08:09:23 hvn: when gcc fails with an internal error, then it's most likely a memory problem Jan 29 08:09:33 hvn: oh.. and have a look at syslog, whether there is anything in there Jan 29 08:09:58 KotH: ok, will do now and check Jan 29 08:11:24 hvn: according to one of my sources, u-boot has a memtest feature too Jan 29 08:11:29 hvn: try that one as well Jan 29 08:12:15 KotH: just wrote, compiled and executed HelloWorld....no problem Jan 29 08:12:27 that's too short Jan 29 08:12:31 koth or a defect inside gcc Jan 29 08:12:33 you need something to make use of your ram Jan 29 08:12:44 woglinde: havent had one of those in a while Jan 29 08:13:02 woglinde: and the kernel seems to be kept clear of those bugs :) Jan 29 08:13:17 KotH: such as a count in a loop ? Jan 29 08:13:53 KotH: running ubuntu on the XM makes use of all the RAM Jan 29 08:14:04 its the nature of it Jan 29 08:14:18 av500 only with firefox Jan 29 08:19:53 hi florian Jan 29 08:20:05 hi woglinde Jan 29 08:23:18 KotH: wrote a loop with cout and counter. No problem Jan 29 08:26:17 KotH: any idea what to look for in syslog ? Jan 29 08:27:38 hvn: get a book on operating system theory and read it Jan 29 08:28:02 hvn: maybe then you'll understand why a c++ prog that only runs in a tight loop does not access a lot of memory Jan 29 08:28:37 hvn: hennesy&patterson is recommended Jan 29 08:29:21 sounds like a whisky brand Jan 29 08:29:26 * av500 doubts it's bad RAM Jan 29 08:29:37 av500: toolchain? Jan 29 08:29:45 or bad motherboard Jan 29 08:30:24 maybe a BIOS update? Jan 29 08:30:30 and a defrag Jan 29 08:33:16 KotH: I've read that book, as well as Tanenbaum and others.....but my question was for an easy and maybe quick way to check like memtest86 does. Problem is that when I boot my BBxM, I don't have such an option Jan 29 08:33:50 when synaptic crashes, does it always crash in the same place? Jan 29 08:33:55 run it under gdb and see Jan 29 08:34:19 hvn: i'm surprised that memtest_86_ isnt installed on your system Jan 29 08:34:22 hvn: there is none, because arm boards usually don'thave the bios/bootloader/memtest thing Jan 29 08:34:46 hvn: u-boot includes some minimal means of memory testing, but its far from being reliable Jan 29 08:35:19 hvn: you could try and do something with a jtag - but also that won't give you guarantees. Jan 29 08:36:00 debug the crash first Jan 29 08:36:07 but i agree with av500 - most likely not memory is corrupt, but your rootfs Jan 29 08:38:00 av500: yes it does. As soon as you see the GUI, it crashes. I just rebooted, and "free" showed 329009k. After the synaptic crash, it shows 297840k. Jan 29 08:39:28 what does "free" output prove? Jan 29 08:39:35 think buffers and friends. no news there. Jan 29 08:39:54 its not like bad RAM disappears Jan 29 08:40:08 LetoTh2nd: I suspected my flashcard first, but when I replaced it with a brand new one, the problems were still there. So I suspected RAM Jan 29 08:40:38 av500: I agree. This basically rules out bad RAM Jan 29 08:40:57 hvn: "brand new" means nothing when it comes to sd cards, especially consumer class. and if you just put the same data onto it, nothing will change. Jan 29 08:41:59 its not a bad card either Jan 29 08:42:12 maybe it just crashes due to a .... bug Jan 29 08:42:24 LetoThe2nd: I know, but the image I've restored to the card is an image I've used for quite some time without any problems. So I don't suspect that to be the cause of the problems Jan 29 08:42:24 yes! bÃ¼g! Jan 29 08:42:48 hvn: like av500 already said - gdb it and see where it explodes. Jan 29 08:47:26 av500: well, bugs are usually solved by updates and I can't do that because of the crashing...first check with gdb gives the message "not a core dump" so will check further Jan 29 08:47:38 Thank you all so far for suggestions Jan 29 09:05:01 bugs are not solved by updates Jan 29 09:05:07 they are solved by people Jan 29 09:07:07 av500: true, but I assume you get my point Jan 29 09:55:26 Hello,I I want access any gpio pin on beaglebone using own driver then is it necessary to disable pre-install gpio driver ? Jan 29 09:56:00 why do you want to use your own driver? Jan 29 09:58:15 I want to learn linux device driver development and also want to develope real-time driver using Xenomai API in future . Jan 29 09:58:25 ah.. ok Jan 29 09:58:51 yes, you have to either tell the kernel not to touch those pins (think DT) or disable the driver that grabs them Jan 29 10:00:11 or kernelbang them Jan 29 10:00:22 is run-time disable of gpio driver is possible or we have to do it at kernel build up process ? Jan 29 10:01:11 sam___: if it's compiled as module, you can unload the module Jan 29 10:02:15 no I am asking about pre-install gpio driver ? Jan 29 10:03:33 what is a "pre-install gpio driver" ? Jan 29 10:06:03 mean driver which enable any pin using 'echo gpio17 > /sys/class/gpio/export' command Jan 29 10:06:43 could it be that you are new to linux? Jan 29 10:06:54 yes sir Jan 29 10:06:58 hmm... Jan 29 10:07:42 it might be a good idea that you get "embedded linux primer" and "linux device drivers" and have a look at them Jan 29 10:07:53 to understand the architecture of linux in general and how drivers work Jan 29 10:07:59 and also to get the nomenclature Jan 29 10:08:55 the "pre-install" driver you are talking about is the one that comes with your distro. it could be compiled as module or compiled into the kernel Jan 29 10:09:05 if it's compiled as module, you can unload it Jan 29 10:09:18 if it's compiled into the kernel, you cannot unload it Jan 29 10:09:37 in both cases you can tell the kernel useing DT (device tree) which pins should be used by which driver Jan 29 10:14:06 Is there any am335x specific header file we have to include in our device driver file to access SoC internel register and which also provide some function like we use in arduino like pinMode() or digitalWrite(). Jan 29 10:15:04 sam___: read LDD3 Jan 29 10:15:26 sam___: there is no point in discussin specifics unless you know those basics and your way around the kernel Jan 29 10:15:42 Ok thank you Sir. Jan 29 10:16:06 no "sir" necessary :) Jan 29 10:16:18 we are all friends of the big chocolate bunny here ;) Jan 29 10:16:50 : ) Jan 29 11:38:03 hello, is anyone working on Beaglebone black? Jan 29 11:38:56 Hello, Is anyone working on beaglebone black? Jan 29 11:39:06 I have a problem at splash screen Jan 29 11:40:15 Hello? Jan 29 11:40:21 anybody there? Jan 29 11:40:35 patience, young padawan, is a virtue Jan 29 11:41:55 hello Jan 29 11:41:59 world Jan 29 11:42:15 dont hello, describe your problem instead Jan 29 11:42:50 I am having beaglebone black Jan 29 11:43:02 I want to change the splash logo in it Jan 29 11:43:07 how to do that? Jan 29 11:43:30 @av500 Jan 29 11:45:20 what did google tell you? Jan 29 11:45:28 you googled first, right? Jan 29 11:45:34 yah Jan 29 11:45:43 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beagleboard/GwzL01ZHeC4 Jan 29 11:45:46 check this link Jan 29 11:45:58 but I can't find useful link Jan 29 11:46:34 this link does not talk about changing the splash screen Jan 29 11:47:00 yah Jan 29 11:47:29 no link is discribing the solution for my problem, I mean, I can't get use link Jan 29 11:47:42 finally came to IRC for a solution Jan 29 11:48:53 https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+boot+splash Jan 29 11:49:00 Currently I am having beaglebone logo as the splash screen Jan 29 11:50:02 My is Angstrom and kernel version is 3.8.3 Jan 29 11:50:16 it doesn't have grub Jan 29 11:50:31 https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+change+boot+logo Jan 29 11:51:35 surprised that's not a lmgtfy link... Jan 29 11:54:32 we take customer support seriously here Jan 29 11:56:08 doesn't angstrom use that plymouth or such boot screen? Jan 29 11:57:19 no idea Jan 29 11:58:04 iirc it's psplash Jan 29 12:01:29 psplash, how to change it? Jan 29 12:02:37 1) google website Jan 29 12:02:40 2) read docu Jan 29 12:02:43 3) change config file Jan 29 12:02:46 4) ... Jan 29 12:02:48 5) profit Jan 29 12:05:31 KotH, I can't get you Jan 29 12:06:29 psplash need a recompile with the new bimap in source code form Jan 29 12:06:59 Thank you LetoThe2nd Jan 29 12:07:08 can u help to compile it Jan 29 12:07:20 googling "psplash change image" would have given you lots of information Jan 29 12:07:20 I mean, can you link me Jan 29 12:07:23 Bhanu_: why exactly are you using a beaglebone black? Jan 29 12:07:24 like https://community.freescale.com/thread/304311 Jan 29 12:07:31 https://www.google.com/search?q=angstromg+psplash+change+logo Jan 29 12:07:47 Bhanu_: no, i will not 1) give you exact steps 2) hold your hand 3) do your homework Jan 29 12:09:40 Bhanu_: http://26-26-54.hardwarebug.org/43 Jan 29 12:09:58 Bhanu_: and 0) learn englsih Jan 29 12:10:01 huh, cool. we had a country wide power outage the other day, lasted well over an hour. I checked the servers were functional afterwards. what I didn't check was the uptime - they didn't even blink - the UPSes evidently worked really really well! Jan 29 12:10:02 Bhanu_: and 0) learn english Jan 29 12:10:21 lee: that's what ups's are for :) Jan 29 12:11:13 yeah, but in a place on a shoestring budget with mostly ancient equipment that is verging on divine intervention Jan 29 12:12:01 lee: I am using Beaglebone black for a project and have to change the splash logo in it Jan 29 12:12:55 Bhanu_: yes, I was wondering what the project was and why you have to change something as insignificant as the logo displayed for the seconds it takes to boot Jan 29 12:13:40 Bhanu_: and you project supervisor cannot help you? Jan 29 12:13:51 I am doing a project for eye hospitals, where they want me to have their logo insterd of beaglebone logo splash Jan 29 12:14:14 currently I am not having any supervisor over me Jan 29 12:14:22 customers tend to want that Jan 29 12:14:24 cool, what's the hardware going to control? Jan 29 12:14:34 Beaglebone Black Jan 29 12:14:49 @lee Jan 29 12:15:09 I mean, what is your BBB going to control? Jan 29 12:15:49 Just have to display an application like 'vision chart' Jan 29 12:15:55 when mine eventually materialises it's going to be running some LED panels, which have finally arrived. now I have to solder on the various connectors without breaking anything... Jan 29 12:16:44 Bhanu_: nifty Jan 29 12:17:35 lee: thank you, I am searching for this for a week Jan 29 12:20:18 how long do i have to push the boot switch button to boot on sd card? Jan 29 12:21:13 a few ms Jan 29 12:21:17 during power up Jan 29 12:21:25 just the right ms Jan 29 12:21:32 so, hold it pressed while you power up Jan 29 12:36:56 “Linux Kernel Configuration” menu go to “Device Drivers->Graphics support->Bootup logo”. convert to ppm... replace it. rebuild the kernel. Jan 29 12:48:52 can someone recommend an oscillator ic (package dip, voltage supply 3.3V, frequency 1kHz (static), amplitude 1Vpp, shape can be rectangle or sinus) Jan 29 12:49:21 a cortex m0 in DIP :) Jan 29 12:54:04 LM2000L.3 Jan 29 12:54:23 I guess you need to order 10k in 1khz :) Jan 29 12:54:29 spoonox: NE555 Jan 29 12:56:02 http://www.linear.com/product/LTC1799 Jan 29 12:56:47 yeah thats it, thx a lot! Jan 29 12:57:24 http://www.adt-audio.com/Audio_Modules/Control_Room_Gear/CH705_Oscillator.html Jan 29 12:57:27 maybe also a waveform gen with dip injector probe? Jan 29 12:57:45 LetoThe2nd: 99.9% rauschfrei? Jan 29 12:58:28 av500: rauschfrei is bÃ¶ring Jan 29 12:58:49 egal, haupsache frequenzstabil (+/- 1%) Jan 29 12:59:00 frequenzstabil is bÃ¶ring Jan 29 12:59:12 rauschfrei is incompatible with ballmer peak Jan 29 12:59:45 philenotfound: ballmer is also bÃ¶ring Jan 29 13:00:26 spoonox: 1% is not stable ;) Jan 29 13:00:58 LetoThe2nd: i guess for you rachmaniov is also bÃ¶ring Jan 29 13:01:08 so by the way, i could also use the audio output of my phone, amplidude is regulated by volume control --> rest is up to oscillator app Jan 29 13:01:14 LetoThe2nd: also deprecÃ¤ted Jan 29 13:01:46 KotH: rachmaninov is ok. or stockhausen, though i'm not a frequent listener Jan 29 13:02:01 spoonox: phone is bÃ¶ring Jan 29 13:02:15 spoonox: yep Jan 29 13:02:25 I use 2 phones for audio measurements :) Jan 29 13:02:37 av500: stereÃ¶ bÃ¶ring that is. Jan 29 13:02:38 one for the pink noise generator, the other for the RTA Jan 29 13:02:49 nothing is stable (Heisenberg) Jan 29 13:03:07 what it does if i click the reset button on the BBB? Jan 29 13:03:29 * pwillard is now convinced LetoThe2nd is just bored Jan 29 13:03:31 some light goes off Jan 29 13:03:32 spoonox: heisenberg never said anything about stability Jan 29 13:03:49 pwillard: bÃ¶red, please Jan 29 13:04:05 LetoThe2nd: hmm.. have to try stockhausen Jan 29 13:04:12 LetoThe2nd: or is that stÃ¶ckhausen? Jan 29 13:04:29 stÃ¶ckhÃ¤Ã¼sen Jan 29 13:04:34 av500: ++ Jan 29 13:04:48 ÃŸtÃ¶ckhÃ¤Ã¼ÃŸen Jan 29 13:04:58 sorry, my font has no runes Jan 29 13:05:01 I am umlaut challenged. Jan 29 13:05:02 KotH: for really un-bÃ¶ring stuff listen to meshuggah or merzbow. Jan 29 13:05:03 because my bbb does not seems to respond anymore from ssh or chrome :-/ Jan 29 13:05:25 light works ... but nothing respond from rj45 ... usb ... no connexion comes Jan 29 13:05:33 KotH: mind, that un-bÃ¶ring does not necessarily correlate with aesthetically pleasing. Jan 29 13:06:10 LetoThe2nd: yeah.. i'm not so metÃ¶ll as you are Jan 29 13:06:15 er.. metÃ¤ll Jan 29 13:07:35 KotH: i also don't listen to such music excessively as it tends to have mental effects (like the urge to destroy things or such) Jan 29 13:07:49 LetoThe2nd: which isnt a bad thing, imho Jan 29 13:08:59 KotH: correct, but sometimes inadequate for ethical or political reasons. Jan 29 13:10:52 LetoThe2nd: talk with your boss about work-metÃ¤ll-balance Jan 29 13:12:04 hmm and nautilus just not see it anymore if i use a usb cable .... anyone have an idea of what i can do to get my bbb works again? Jan 29 13:12:28 aurelien: tell it to get a job. Jan 29 13:12:38 LetoThe2nd: ? Jan 29 13:13:04 aurelien: never mind. Jan 29 13:13:21 LetoThe2nd: i can't ssh ... can't access it from 192.168.7.2 from a webbrowser ... nor from nautilus Jan 29 13:13:37 aurelien: connect your serial debug cable and see whats going on. Jan 29 13:14:33 LetoThe2nd: serial debug cable, you mean the usb? or the rj-45? (both don't give me the access to it at this time) Jan 29 13:14:39 but the light works Jan 29 13:15:14 aurelien: serial != usb, serial != ethernet. if i had meant ethernet, i would've said ethernet Jan 29 13:15:28 aurelien: you can always try to reflash it if you broke something Jan 29 13:15:34 LetoThe2nd: oh that one https://www.adafruit.com/products/954 ? Jan 29 13:15:41 i have not that stuff :-/ Jan 29 13:16:04 aurelien: would be a good idea to get one. Jan 29 13:16:36 LetoThe2nd: can I do something without that for the moment? Jan 29 13:16:47 14:15 < LetoThe2nd> aurelien: you can always try to reflash it if you broke something Jan 29 13:17:00 besides that... with a serial connection, not very much. Jan 29 13:17:09 maybe glaring, shouting, screaming? Jan 29 13:17:19 s/with/without/ Jan 29 13:17:34 LetoThe2nd: reflash? how? you've got a link? Jan 29 13:17:44 *sigh* Jan 29 13:18:10 hmm how that can happen without doing anything ... i've just tried to boot on an micro sd card :-/ Jan 29 13:18:27 feeding "update beaglebone black" in to $SEARCHENGINE should give you a good idea. Jan 29 13:18:36 ok thanks Jan 29 13:18:58 http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Jan 29 13:21:20 I wish I could love Angstrom... it's just not happening yet. Jan 29 13:22:02 pwillard: tell us *before* you try next time so we can look at other things in the meantime, ok? Jan 29 13:22:26 the only problem i have as a relative newcomer to beagle is angstrom doesnt look right on the lcd3 cape :) Jan 29 13:22:28 hehe... Jan 29 13:24:39 oh and the fact that for some reasone my linux box doesnt want to know about writting images to the sd card via dd or zcat so i have to use this horid win 7 laptop to do the imageing :) Jan 29 13:34:12 todays mission is to get android to run on it Jan 29 13:34:37 this message will selfdestruct in 10 seconds Jan 29 13:35:03 :) Jan 29 13:41:16 * ogra_ thinks it is quite a brave thing to try to get android to run on a win7 laptop Jan 29 13:41:49 x86 is a target for android Jan 29 13:42:38 is Android ACPI ready? Jan 29 13:43:12 jonmasters says so Jan 29 13:45:18 but can it do UEFI? Jan 29 13:45:25 ah, the guy with the ring^Wdocs Jan 29 13:50:49 hmm that have no sens i can connect to the beagle now on the micro sd card which have arch arm via ssh but not to the beaglebone like i did before -_-' Jan 29 13:50:59 ssh root@192.168.1.16 Jan 29 13:50:59 root@192.168.1.16's password: Jan 29 13:50:59 [root@alarm ~]# pacman -Syyuu Jan 29 13:51:00 :: Synchronizing package databases... Jan 29 13:51:29 do not ask me why alarm ... it should comes from arch .... Jan 29 13:52:05 i meant andriod running on the bbw lol Jan 29 13:56:04 Arch Linux ARM Jan 29 13:56:15 = ALARM Jan 29 13:57:50 * KotH sounds the alarm Jan 29 14:06:46 hmm the ARM Archlinux version /etc/hostname is alarm in fact but why?? Jan 29 14:07:19 why shouldnt it? Jan 29 14:07:37 arch linux arm lol =ALARM Jan 29 14:07:49 oh Jan 29 14:07:57 that have more sens Jan 29 14:16:26 hmm sounds i have break the angstrom emmc ... i can boot directly to the 32g micro sd card without push the button on the board 8-| Jan 29 14:17:04 ok does anyone here have any experience on useing android on the beaglebone whit? Jan 29 14:17:15 with an lcd3 cape :) Jan 29 14:17:25 no because it makes no sense Jan 29 14:19:24 lots of things make no sense , doesnt mean its not do able :) Jan 29 14:37:13 ah and Arch ARM have emacs-nox! Jan 29 17:04:16 is the a .dts file the let the bbb buttons (e.g. power) apear in /sys/class/event/ and /dev/input/ ? Jan 29 17:06:43 Hey Jan 29 17:10:27 MrB4D: HEY Jan 29 17:11:42 hmm be setting up ros on Arch ARM is long ... but seeing 7% on a df -h is cool! thanks the micro sd 32g! Jan 29 17:17:14 Has anyone setup their board with a wifi dongle from logic supply? Jan 29 17:18:17 More specifically the UWN100 Jan 29 17:25:45 MrB4D: looks like peoplenhad success on BBB Jan 29 17:26:06 try verbose mode with wpa_supplicant Jan 29 17:32:46 Ahh, sorry about the delay. I figured they would work, i was more looking for a review before i go out and buy one Jan 29 17:33:50 Mostly info on reception and their experience with signal strength and reliability. Jan 29 17:35:28 (i have never used a USB dongle that small, so i am a bit hesitant.) cant really find reviews anywhere :( Jan 29 17:36:34 if it was awful youâ€™d find negtive views Jan 29 17:36:45 This is true Jan 29 17:36:46 i say go for it Jan 29 17:37:37 Will do. I will let you guys know if its any good (and if you can get monitor/promiscuous mode with it) Jan 29 17:44:29 Better Jan 29 17:45:14 So browser chat crashed, johnwalkr thanks Jan 29 17:45:31 :3 Jan 29 17:50:22 So HydraIRC is dead i think Jan 29 17:51:06 :( any IRC clients you recommend? Jan 29 17:51:21 ideally with a nice light on dark theme Jan 29 17:59:13 MrB4D: os? Jan 29 17:59:47 At the moment im on windows, but i will need one for my linux partition as well Jan 29 18:02:31 MrB4D: 99% of all dongles work with linux Jan 29 18:03:09 MrB4D: there has been reports that some of the dongles do not work properly if directly connected to the BBB, but using an hub inbetween seems fine Jan 29 18:03:32 MrB4D: no idea why though. figured out the reason yet Jan 29 18:04:11 have not* Jan 29 18:04:19 I was more worried with things like signal strength and such, but thanks :) I went ahead and ordered it to tinker with it. Jan 29 18:04:25 * KotH is hungry, cannto think straight anymore Jan 29 18:04:30 Maybe because its a direct line to the CPU? Jan 29 18:04:35 I was reading about that somewhere Jan 29 18:04:39 that doesnt matter Jan 29 18:04:52 orly? Jan 29 18:04:58 but, unless proven otherwise, i would guess it's a user error Jan 29 18:05:26 y rly Jan 29 18:05:43 fair enough, pebak is the worst issue to solve Jan 29 18:05:59 I thought that it might tie up the CPU if it isnt a fast enough dongle Jan 29 18:06:05 and it's pretty prevalent around here :-( Jan 29 18:06:32 uhm.. the cpu core is "detached" from the peripherals Jan 29 18:06:55 an SoC is basically just a cpu with its chipset integrated onto one single die Jan 29 18:07:10 so that you can use a single chip solution, safe space and power Jan 29 18:07:42 but internally, you still have busses and connections between all the parts Jan 29 18:08:11 Ohh, i see. (i am coming over from Arduino and PIC development, still learning all the ins and outs) Jan 29 18:08:33 you can see the same busses in a PIC as well Jan 29 18:09:01 in the applciation processor type SoC it's just a bit more sophisticated Jan 29 18:09:01 Yep, that was the connection that was made after your comment ;) Jan 29 18:09:53 indeed Jan 29 18:10:35 Do you have any interesting projects in the works/complete? Jan 29 18:10:50 yes, but i'm not allowed to talk about them :) Jan 29 18:11:07 Company reasons? or not ready for the world? Jan 29 18:11:22 company Jan 29 18:11:32 half of our stuff is confidential Jan 29 18:11:41 Ohh excellent. Im kinda jealous. Jan 29 18:11:52 im stuck in the auto industry :( Jan 29 18:12:14 then get out :) Jan 29 18:12:55 I will, im a student at the moment, graduating in 5 months. once i graduate i plan on leaving MI and automotives Jan 29 18:15:18 i know i shouldnt ask, but may i inquire as to what industry you work in? Jan 29 18:21:36 bit.ly/1aHPK8c <-- Seriously, what is wrong with people in the south? Jan 29 18:21:55 how do you cause this much chaos with an inch of snow!! Jan 29 18:52:16 MrB4D|AFK: consider people in the deep south dont get this type weather and have no experience and it is ice under the snow. Jan 29 18:52:41 hello,is it true that all latest and developing linux device drive are sysfs based ? Jan 29 18:53:58 <_av500_> ? Jan 29 18:56:32 or can we develope procfs based driver?what is latest trend ? Jan 29 18:58:01 sam__: if you're developing for a device, it'd typically be sysfs. Jan 29 18:58:58 Exceptions being maybe some info from storage or network devices. Jan 29 18:59:39 yes for hardware device.But when to use procfs ? Jan 29 19:03:15 sam__: It's mostly information about processes and core OS stuff. Jan 29 19:03:36 Which is how the disk/networking stuff made its way in there, I imagine. Jan 29 19:05:00 ok thanks!! Jan 29 19:42:48 djlewis, i didnnt know about the ice. That makes it 100x worse Jan 29 19:43:07 hello guys,i was just wanting to know how should i start if i want to contribute to beagleboard through gsoc? Jan 29 19:48:20 evilsorcerer : right here is a good start Jan 29 19:49:08 evilsorcerer : watch what the project is doing, get involved before you have to, then you'll know what you might be able to do for a project come application time Jan 29 19:50:36 CareBear:By watching project you mean what beagleboard is doing or some project beagleboard is doing? Jan 29 20:10:28 hm haha musb patch for to reduce schedulding wake ups Jan 29 20:16:32 Hi Guys, Had a question, want to convert USB slave port of Begle bone black into Composite Device Jan 29 20:16:39 Please suggest Jan 29 20:18:15 Currently it comes as mass storage device Jan 29 20:18:56 i mean composite USB device, Jan 29 20:19:03 from mass storage Jan 29 20:30:55 yo Jan 29 20:32:05 any beaglebone users in florida? Jan 29 20:46:16 [angstrom] mmcblk1 can be detected after booting too? Jan 29 22:09:38 Hello Jan 29 22:13:35 I was wondering if you may be able to help me to enable PWM on the BeagleBoard-Xm Jan 29 22:15:17 I've been googleing a lot and I've found some help but it's just about enabling PWM on the beagleBone but not BeagleBoard-Xm. Jan 29 22:15:36 it should work the same way Jan 29 22:17:33 They say something about "Device tree" and bring some repositories that have been design for BeagleBone Jan 29 22:17:57 (with its own registers) Jan 29 22:17:58 oh.. yes.. you are probably using a pre-DT kernel Jan 29 22:18:10 this means you have to modify the boardfile Jan 29 22:18:44 the boardfile is basically a c description of what the hardware looks like (or rather how it should be initialized) Jan 29 22:18:56 you'll find it in the kernel sources Jan 29 22:20:35 Do you know about some detailed tutorial I could read? Jan 29 22:20:44 sorry, i dont Jan 29 22:21:36 Ok Thanks. Jan 29 22:22:25 original BeagleBoard: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardPWM Jan 29 22:22:42 recommend you look around the elinux.org/BeagleBoard pages Jan 29 22:24:55 there's no upstream pwm driver for the omap timers so you'll find N different way to do this...out of tree one-off drivers living on github..etc. Jan 29 22:25:15 and so it works differently than beaglebone with have standard kernel pwm drivers with a well-known api Jan 29 22:25:21 s/with/which/ Jan 29 22:25:46 e.g. http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardPWM Jan 29 22:33:53 Thank you mdp Jan 29 22:34:10 sorry there isn't a concise answer :( Jan 29 22:34:37 you'll also find a lot of examples of people trying to bit bang PWMs from userspace..which is a path to doom Jan 29 22:34:55 the proper approach is to use the omap timers as designed Jan 29 22:36:26 btw, that was to be e.g. https://github.com/scottellis/omap3-pwm ... stale paste Jan 29 22:45:09 I was following the steps Jan 29 22:45:18 $ source overo-source-me.txt $ make Jan 29 22:46:24 and It returned: $make -C/sysroots/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel scripts Jan 29 22:47:04 $make: *** /sysroots/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kernel: No such file or directory.
