**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 01 02:59:59 2014 Feb 01 03:00:53 :) Feb 01 03:15:14 Night. Feb 01 03:42:31 I've given the RealTek wifi adapter a fair shake at this point. So close to getting it working! I can see wlan0, but it just can't join an access point. Feb 01 03:42:53 Any recomendations on a 802.11 adapter that's more likely to work with beaglebone / angstrom? Feb 01 03:55:23 hola Feb 01 03:56:06 iandow .. http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#WIFI_Adapters Feb 01 03:56:51 hola soy onofre Feb 01 03:56:57 gueparde Feb 01 03:57:35 veremit, do you think any of those would require building a custom driver, or do you think they would work with the 3.8 kernel? Feb 01 03:57:54 I'mnot 100% sure what works with th estock kernel Feb 01 03:58:05 the one I use from eewiki.net works with nearly everything Feb 01 03:58:19 okay, thanks for the suggestion. Feb 01 03:58:32 its not too bad once you sorted a toolchain to build a kernel Feb 01 03:58:37 but you need a good methodology Feb 01 03:59:54 you could build an eewiki kernel (Which is up-to-date, I think?) .. and still use it with angstrom if you wished .. I think. Feb 01 04:00:42 the eewiki guy (rob nelson) visits here frequently .. so he can advise/help if needed Feb 01 04:06:20 I feel like I've beat this thing to hell. I had wifi working yesterday, but it stopped after i updated connman. Now, repeating my procedure (i took good notes) isn't bearing the same fruit. So frustrating. I should give it a break, but it's so tantalizingly close. Feb 01 04:06:57 I'm going to give ubuntu a shot. Feb 01 04:16:06 hi..can we you same Angstrom image for BBW version A6b and A6a Feb 01 05:43:06 when i try to set up bbb on its own with a monitor/dvi/hdmi there is no power, I am using a multi wall charger will 5V setting Feb 01 05:43:21 but when connected to laptop led glows Feb 01 05:45:22 what power rating is your brick? Feb 01 05:45:50 you should probably consider a proper PSU for your beagle .. it needs quite a bit of juice when it starts up Feb 01 05:46:17 you need 10W+ at 5V ie. 2A Feb 01 05:55:42 1.2 a Feb 01 05:58:40 the power chip on the BBB is quite sensitive .. I would suggest thats where your issue is likely to be. Clearly if it boots ok on usb I would say that confirms it Feb 01 06:02:45 veremit, thank you, so although the sheet says 5V at 1A, Feb 01 06:03:20 it needs to be fairly clse to 5V itself .. so ifyou have a meter .. I'd check whats coming out :) Feb 01 06:07:03 it's extremely sensitive to the voltage and 1 amp should be enough Feb 01 06:08:17 a little more amperage won't hurt , but don't go over on the voltage unless you want a paperweight Feb 01 06:09:14 hmm I got a wall charger with multiple Volt but only upto 1.2 A, so guess I have to get higher amp Feb 01 06:10:00 should need more than that, unless you're running a lot of devices through an unpowered usb hub Feb 01 06:10:07 shouldn't Feb 01 06:11:51 ok, I tried but bbb does not power, so one suggestion is get something with 2A or check with meter, and the other could be ? Feb 01 06:12:14 how long should I press the power switch? Feb 01 07:34:54 anyone faced any issues after doing "opkg upgrade" for angstrom 9/12 image Feb 01 07:35:14 for me no modules are getting loaded Feb 01 07:36:07 in BBW Feb 01 10:25:52 Any BBB MCASP specialist ? Feb 01 10:26:48 <_av500_> ask, dont ask to ask to ask Feb 01 10:30:17 Wanted to connect two TLV codec to my BBB Feb 01 10:30:37 By means of MCASP0 Feb 01 10:32:51 Only for recording , dont want play back.So I wanted to configure AXR0 and AXR1 as input and I done it in device tree overlay(BB-BONE-AUDI-).But only able to record from only one codec Feb 01 10:36:34 <_av500_> well, you need to tell the alsa driver to record from 2 codecs Feb 01 10:36:43 <_av500_> not just edit DT Feb 01 10:40:27 need a mcasp connection to dac myself.. pretty clueless about it at this point Feb 01 10:41:22 <_av500_> see the audio cape Feb 01 10:42:06 yeah, started reading up on it, figure i can duplicate what they do for it Feb 01 10:43:41 its special dac, it turns audio into wifi, it supposedly will do usb but its not working and have ticket open with ti about it Feb 01 10:44:17 _av500_.Thanks for replying.I just need to clear some basics.I started with the Audio cape and in build BB-BONE-AUDI....dts file.By default P9_28 (mcasp_axr2) is used for recieving data from codec, and its working fine.I just tried by changing it to AXR3,But not recording Feb 01 10:45:12 so axr3 is muxes to mcasp also? Feb 01 10:47:12 i thought mcasp was dedicated to certain pins, was under impression you couldnt map it to other pins Feb 01 10:47:36 and also changing the numbers under ' serial-dir ' in dts file is also not at all affecting. Feb 01 10:48:39 I thought the direction of AXR can be changed with dts. Feb 01 10:49:09 oh i see Feb 01 10:49:45 still on mcasp pins, just different direction? Feb 01 10:50:19 \o/ just received the usb debug cable \o/ Feb 01 10:51:30 guess robert nelson got sgx working but only with qt embedded, gonna download that kernel commit and try it Feb 01 11:17:16 Hi ..can someone offer a help on BBW wifi and bluetooth cape... Feb 01 14:16:23 hi everybody Feb 01 14:19:07 my beaglebone black power LED and all other LED goes off after 5 sec. can somebody identify this problem? Feb 01 14:20:35 BBB shutting down? power problem? Feb 01 14:21:09 or ya got a sick board Feb 01 14:21:40 anything come up on HDMI interface? have you tried a debug cable to the pin header? Feb 01 14:22:38 <_av500_> hiren: what power supply? Feb 01 14:22:47 <_av500_> use a power supply and not USB Feb 01 14:27:03 what power block are you using for bbb Feb 01 14:28:29 Is there a particular model or spec that people with external monitor is using Feb 01 14:32:33 model/spec of what? Feb 01 14:33:08 <_av500_> 5V, 2A Feb 01 14:33:11 <_av500_> is fine Feb 01 14:35:13 external power Feb 01 14:35:20 wall charger Feb 01 14:53:35 rambo: search rswww.com for 436-109, that is what they recommended to power the BBB so it's what I purchased Feb 01 15:03:07 thank you, lee Feb 01 15:06:11 (note it doesn't come with the figure of 8 cable t o conenct to the wall) Feb 01 15:08:06 heh I bought a couple of RaspPi PSUs for like £2 .. seemed very worthwhile .. uUSB all in Feb 01 15:08:15 that was farnell though Feb 01 15:08:24 or element14 .. same company Feb 01 15:08:41 they tend to work off phone chargers ok though Feb 01 15:10:17 ok, yeah phone charger pin is not the right size so no luck there Feb 01 15:13:03 nope .. use the DC jack :p Feb 01 15:13:19 thats what its there for .. Unlike the Pi. Feb 01 16:01:05 veremit: thankyou. The DC jack worked for power Feb 01 16:01:31 excellent.. happy beagling :D Feb 01 16:20:37 i need help connecting to beaglebone black via ssh Feb 01 16:21:15 right .. what are you connecting from, and what are you connecting with? Feb 01 16:21:51 ie. don't tell me you're tryin to connect with your phone over wifi .. >,< Feb 01 16:22:15 (although this IS quite possible :P) Feb 01 16:22:51 im using ubuntu on vmware to start with, and i have a terminal inside it i write "ssh root@ 192.168.7.2" Feb 01 16:23:39 ok and is your PC/etc on the same subnet as the beagle .. ie. 192.168.7. ? Feb 01 16:23:47 i get the message "ssh: connect to host 192.168.7.2 port 22: Connection refused" Feb 01 16:23:49 can you get up the webpage? Feb 01 16:24:14 no i cant get up the webpage Feb 01 16:24:45 it worked yesterday the first time i tried it , then i did an upgrade , and today i tried to connect but got the problems Feb 01 16:24:46 ok so some part of your network config is wrong .. Feb 01 16:25:13 did it work post-upgrade? Feb 01 16:25:47 no it didnt Feb 01 16:25:54 i did "root@beaglebone:~# opkg upgrade" yesterday Feb 01 16:26:08 did you see it complete? Feb 01 16:26:22 yes it did, it took some time but it did Feb 01 16:29:47 are you connected via usb or network? Feb 01 16:31:00 usb via ssh Feb 01 16:31:39 hmm Feb 01 16:32:25 do you have a network switch/router? Feb 01 16:32:33 yes i do Feb 01 16:32:57 which you can access? might be worth plugging it in .. let it dhcp .. see if you can connect to it with that IP Feb 01 16:33:32 if it doesn't dhcp .. I think you might need to fetch out the debug cable :) Feb 01 16:33:58 or download an emmc-flasher uSD image Feb 01 17:37:41 Have a DVI to HDMI setup but no image shown Feb 01 17:42:05 any drivers in specific, have angstrom linux Feb 01 17:44:05 wen i boot my beaglebone black the 4 leds just go solid blue i thought they should blink then go solid Feb 01 17:45:11 Collector .. the BBB shoudl detect a screen via EDID Feb 01 17:45:52 rick_ .. thats probably bad. The only circumstances that should happen is when it finishes re-flashing the eMMC. Feb 01 17:46:20 so what do i do Feb 01 17:48:52 is there a driver in specific to be downloaded for bbb screen, EDID is it also HDMI / DVI Feb 01 17:49:35 rick_ .. you could try creating a uSD image to try booting with that Feb 01 17:49:56 but if that doesn't work .. you could try a debug adapter .. but I think its gonna be an RMA case. Feb 01 17:50:08 Collector .. works out the box on all things I connected it to ;) Feb 01 17:50:19 how do i do that Feb 01 17:54:35 ok I will try again and get back Feb 01 17:57:54 hey Feb 01 17:58:48 heya! Feb 01 17:59:52 What's your favorite viewer for Gerber + various native formats? Feb 01 18:00:18 I have no idea what you are talking about. What is Gerber for? Feb 01 18:00:39 we use the one from the geda progs ZiNC .. works ok .. free :) Feb 01 18:00:46 for linux anyhow Feb 01 18:01:06 gerber is the industry standard for pcb layout artwors Feb 01 18:01:10 works** Feb 01 18:01:16 narendraj9: A vector format for PCB design. Feb 01 18:01:48 Usually seems more like a final format than an editing one, though. Feb 01 18:01:56 veremit: But is the GUI useful? Feb 01 18:02:00 unless you'rea fab company Feb 01 18:02:03 lol Feb 01 18:02:13 I've checked a few, most seem decidedly stuck in the 80s. Feb 01 18:02:16 ZiNC .. it works .. you can pull layers on/off .. scroll around .. Feb 01 18:02:26 zoom in/out .. what ya need it for? Feb 01 18:02:41 Currently, just looking easily (and nicely if possible) at things. Feb 01 18:02:58 much free stuff is .. unless you pay for the heavy duty stuff in my experience Feb 01 18:03:07 though I've never really cracked eagle Feb 01 18:03:41 The viewer-only versions of the commercial things are also free in many cases. Feb 01 18:03:57 yeah if you're lucky :) Feb 01 18:03:59 But I'll check gEDA too. Feb 01 18:04:20 Altium's stuff look potentially more promising. Feb 01 18:05:02 yup looked at that once Feb 01 18:05:40 geda is fine for basic -> moderate complexity I've found Feb 01 18:05:54 single/two layer boards easy .. not tried 4 Feb 01 18:06:05 no impedance tracking etc though Feb 01 18:06:19 but the gerber viewer does all it needs to in my opinion Feb 01 18:06:36 we check all the pcb fab drawings sent back to us .. I've used it for commercial designs no probs Feb 01 18:06:48 But you can get used to working with awkward software. Feb 01 18:07:06 If it's close to, say, Photoshop 3, it might be above average already. :) Feb 01 18:07:26 lol you totally get used to awkward software lol Feb 01 18:07:54 geda was a slight learning curve .. and there's still lotsof shortcuts I should learn really .. but it works Feb 01 18:07:59 I got my monitor to power, it show it as digital signal, and then that the frequency is out of range Feb 01 18:08:13 but can see the screen powered Feb 01 18:08:25 what size/res is your monitor? Feb 01 18:09:38 Among the basics, I wouldn't mind having a simple way to switch between layers, to have them semi-transparent over each other, to scroll by holding a modifier key/button, easily accessible zoom, easily accessible net hilite, antialiasing so that small things are actually legible, etc. Feb 01 18:10:52 lol small things legible yeah Feb 01 18:11:25 yeah geda gschem will do 95% of that I'm pretty sure Feb 01 18:11:34 wel .. pcb for pcbs :D Feb 01 18:11:41 Monitor has 1024x768 dpi per a google search Feb 01 18:12:01 its a slightly different package .. but worksok .. don't be put off it hasn't been built since 2011 though lol still works pretty good I find Feb 01 18:12:19 Collector .. hmm thats pretty standard and should pick that up fine at 60Hz Feb 01 18:12:43 though I've known X to be a bit optimistic at times Feb 01 18:12:57 hdmi does tend to quite like high res. lol Feb 01 18:13:41 any thoughts on trouble shooting Feb 01 18:13:56 can you ssh in? Feb 01 18:14:15 you should be able to see something in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log I think it is Feb 01 18:21:06 as I cannot see anything, so connect it back to a computer and ssh in. I have not done it Feb 01 18:21:39 you'll need both if you want to figure out whats going on with the monitor end..... Feb 01 18:21:48 so move the monitor :P Feb 01 18:23:42 ok will try now Feb 01 18:27:21 Ok now powering the bbb with computer and output to monitor same issue Feb 01 18:28:53 to ssh, went to the http://192.168.7.2/Support/bone101/ Feb 01 18:29:08 but no link for SSH any other method? Feb 01 18:31:30 you need a ssh client .. either command-line or Putty for windows Feb 01 18:41:00 ok got in the ssh Feb 01 18:45:07 look for the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. or similar Feb 01 18:48:46 I have used DOS but not sure how to look for that file Feb 01 18:49:32 I am in the root@beaglebone:~# Feb 01 18:51:00 ok used the find command and I see the file Feb 01 18:52:09 open it and look for lines starting with (EE) or (WW) .. error or warnings .. Feb 01 18:57:32 ok Feb 01 18:58:17 what cmd for opening that file Feb 01 18:58:35 'nano' should work Feb 01 19:05:25 ok inside Feb 01 19:05:35 but seems like a huge file Feb 01 19:08:15 lots of EE and WW warnings Feb 01 19:08:36 (EE) Failed to load module "extmod" (module does not exist, 0) Feb 01 19:08:41 is that it Feb 01 19:08:49 some will be important .. some less so Feb 01 19:09:03 you should see somethig when it finds your monitor connected Feb 01 19:09:10 I gotta afk a bit .. bbl Feb 01 19:11:35 ok thank you Feb 01 19:24:19 any gnu assembler macro guru's in here? Feb 01 19:24:53 i need to extract the first 3 characters of a string passed to a macro and determin the lenght of the string Feb 01 19:25:19 within the macro. i use these 4 items to calculate a basic hash of the string Feb 01 19:25:36 erm actually just the first 2 chars of the macro and its length Feb 01 19:39:50 has anyone had frequency error when connecting to HDMI out Feb 01 19:40:23 Using a Hdmi DVI connection Feb 01 20:18:33 hi Feb 01 20:19:01 can see the screen on hdmi and keyboard works, is there any way to select with keyboard Feb 01 20:19:07 angstrom linux Feb 01 20:29:07 I have external monitor for bbb, how to select or find commands using only the keyboard Feb 01 20:30:42 use a GPIO pin to send morse code to a speaker? Feb 01 20:33:04 or use one of the user LEDs an flash it Feb 01 21:02:32 Might be the wrong channel to ask this, but does OMAP5432 implement the generic timer extension? Feb 01 21:03:25 kristina.. is that a processor feature or kernel/software one? Feb 01 21:03:51 It's an optional ARMv7 extension. Feb 01 21:04:14 ok .. have you checked the datasheet? Feb 01 21:04:50 I won't send you into the Technical Reference Manual .. thats just cruel .. :) Feb 01 21:05:43 The public datasheet seems to be crippled anyway, since it doesn't even talk about hypervisor stuff. It mentions timers, but I don't think they're the same as ARMv7 generic timers (well, the interfaces are different). Feb 01 21:06:26 TI says hypervisor is not supported on GP devices, even though it is, for example. Feb 01 21:08:23 kristina .. have you seen this .. http://e2e.ti.com/support/omap/f/885/t/292817.aspx ? Feb 01 21:09:36 veremit^afk: That SMC call is not documented anywhere. Feb 01 21:09:53 heh why doesn't that surprise me Feb 01 21:11:20 Ah. Feb 01 21:11:21 MONITOR_API_START_HYPERVISOR Feb 01 21:11:38 mm? Feb 01 21:11:45 Not in the TRM :P Feb 01 21:12:10 yeah TI's documentation isn't .. perfect .. lol Feb 01 21:12:17 does that help any now?! Feb 01 21:14:28 Does it mean that any supervisor code can enter hypervisor mode? Feb 01 21:15:22 I'm afraid you're a long way aheado fme there, sorry :) Feb 01 21:15:40 ahead^of^me Feb 01 21:16:07 Well, I guess I'll just have to poke the generic timer registers and see if I get an exception. Feb 01 21:16:24 sounds like real hacking :) hehe good luck! Feb 01 21:16:41 Since if they are mandated by A15, TI probably did implement them but didn't document it. Feb 01 21:16:48 you can try posting on the TI forums .. I did, and I got apartially helpful response. Feb 01 21:16:59 the TI folks obviously to read them. Feb 01 21:17:04 do* Feb 01 21:19:57 so whats the idea behind these hypervisor/supervisor widgets then? Feb 01 21:21:55 Well, the way of switching from svc to hypervisor is implementation defined. Feb 01 21:23:25 aha Feb 01 21:37:14 Has anyone heard whether the NetGear WNA1000M wifi dongle can work on Angstrom / Beaglebone A%? Feb 01 21:37:16 A5 Feb 01 21:38:39 rtl8192cu driver Feb 01 21:38:45 one of the problematic ones Feb 01 21:39:19 damn Feb 01 21:39:22 theoretically it should .. depends very much on your kernel .. which isn't very recent with angstrom. Feb 01 21:40:07 black or .. ? Feb 01 21:40:32 black Feb 01 21:40:51 it's the tiny one. I think they're all black. Feb 01 21:41:25 take a look through .. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/beaglebone/KB_zZ7f_vCk Feb 01 21:41:52 thanks Feb 01 22:03:42 Ah, the hypervisor can trap SMC calls. Feb 01 22:07:33 oo Feb 01 22:07:35 lol Feb 01 22:07:39 *still lost* lol Feb 01 22:56:33 <_av500_> kristina: porting ios to omap5 now? Feb 01 22:56:37 <_av500_> omap3 done? Feb 01 22:56:55 _av500_: Too lazy to do the drivers for Darwin. Feb 01 22:57:01 <_av500_> ah Feb 01 22:57:16 _av500_: I think virtualization may solve the driver issues though. Feb 01 22:57:50 <_av500_> got an omap5 board? Feb 01 22:58:13 TI's EVM. Feb 01 22:59:44 <_av500_> ah Feb 01 23:00:27 No GPU DDK for SGX 544 so I have to fiddle around with binary blobs again :( Feb 01 23:00:38 <_av500_> well yes Feb 01 23:00:41 <_av500_> ofg course :) Feb 01 23:03:37 _av500_: you know anything about the semantics of MONITOR_API_START_HYPERVISOR? Feb 01 23:04:30 I take it if you don't trap SMCs, any non-hypervisor application running in supervisor mode can fuck up the hypervisor? Feb 01 23:23:20 Hm. Feb 01 23:53:21 hi, is there any android ppl in tonight as i would like to know how to change the name that is displayed As Model Number in About Tablet. Im using ICS Feb 01 23:56:32 what does the unit 'h' mean in register offsets? Feb 01 23:56:47 I'm looking at the am335x manual right now Feb 01 23:58:40 h is usually a hexadecimal suffix Feb 01 23:58:51 ie. base16 instead of base10 = decimal. Feb 01 23:59:28 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F instead of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Feb 01 23:59:48 ah Feb 02 00:00:04 they could have just used 0x Feb 02 00:00:17 you get used to both ;) Feb 02 00:00:32 I thought it was words or something Feb 02 00:03:57 this stuff is pretty obtuse at first Feb 02 00:04:31 you soon become quite familiar with it. Feb 02 00:04:43 same thing frequently written differently in different places Feb 02 01:39:31 "8 GiB of SDRAM virtualization" Feb 02 01:39:36 I don't get it. Feb 02 01:39:47 The TRM only mentions it in one place. Feb 02 01:42:51 I see. Feb 02 01:43:27 The two lower GB in SDRAM are in Q8 and Q9. Feb 02 01:43:58 And Q10+Q11 are aliased to the DRAM address space. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Feb 02 02:59:59 2014
