**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 08 02:59:59 2014 Mar 08 03:00:49 Is it because I had both the usb and 5v adapter connected at the same time? I think that might be the reason but I heard that that was acceptable and supported Mar 08 03:00:56 that's ok to do Mar 08 03:01:01 unless maybe you have a bad ground loop Mar 08 03:01:28 yes, it should limit the current Mar 08 03:02:29 if the PWR led does not come on, it might be time to start the RMA process Mar 08 03:02:29 Is there any way to save this BBB? Mar 08 03:02:43 all my code is on this Mar 08 03:02:56 oh, on the emmc Mar 08 03:03:30 maybe the leds blew out Mar 08 03:03:40 not very likely though Mar 08 03:03:41 seems unlikely Mar 08 03:03:51 when I tried connecting to putty Mar 08 03:03:57 it also wont let me and times me out Mar 08 03:04:28 all this does sound like a power surge Mar 08 03:04:45 it'll be hard to save the BBB if it happened Mar 08 03:05:12 if the emmc wasn't blown out already Mar 08 03:05:52 how can i tell if it is? Mar 08 03:06:35 connect an led with a resistor to 5v pin and ground Mar 08 03:07:33 brb Mar 08 03:07:47 can i use an oscilloscope and measure the 5V pin? Mar 08 03:09:42 using an oscilloscope, and measuring the 5V pin Mar 08 03:09:48 i am still gettin a reading of 5V Mar 08 03:10:07 although its a little shaky Mar 08 03:13:41 that is the VDD_5V Mar 08 03:13:47 the 3.3V gives nothing Mar 08 03:13:56 and then sys_5V gives 1V Mar 08 03:14:37 oh dear Mar 08 03:14:46 power down and check for shorts... Mar 08 03:14:51 prob blown the processor Mar 08 03:15:10 no protection diodes on the io pins y'know :P lol Mar 08 03:15:22 aaaand I'm out .. g'nite I-) Mar 08 03:15:34 ihad no inputs on the ios though Mar 08 03:22:39 yeah im done Mar 08 05:12:01 I'm interested in Android-based remote display project for GSoc. As a starting point I've gone through different tutorials on beagleboard site and youtube as well as android. Other than that is there anything else I can do to improve my understanding? May be any exercise or involvement with code? Mar 08 05:18:56 I cross compiled kernel 3.8.13 for BBB and flashed to BBB as given in https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel/tree/3.8 ,after that i cannot access BBB via miniusb cable.I am only able to access BBB via serial debug cable.Why miniUSB is not working ? Mar 08 05:57:39 Angstrom/toolchain site is down...can some one tell me where can i download angstrom-eglibc-i686-armv7a-vfp-neon-v2012.12-toolchain.gz Mar 08 05:59:31 any alternative site for the same . Mar 08 09:15:35 how do I prevent the linux terminal from appearing on ttyGS0 on BBB and use it for program IO instead? Mar 08 09:51:19 Abhishek_: by disabling the getty on it. The how will depend on the distro you are running on the board. Mar 08 09:52:05 i am running a stock A6A rom, Angstrom image Mar 08 09:52:20 then it's a systemd service Mar 08 09:55:38 when i do a systemctl, it does not display getty as active Mar 08 09:56:19 ah yes, I found it Mar 08 10:04:52 I used systemctl stop serial-getty@ttyGS0 to stop the service and it works fine Mar 08 10:04:58 Thanks for the leads! Mar 08 10:05:40 you might need to disable it permanently so that it doesn't start after a reboot Mar 08 10:07:34 After stopping I used systemctl disable serial-getty@ttyGS0. would it be enough? Mar 08 10:07:52 don't have much experience with systemd, possibly. Mar 08 10:16:20 Can bonescript be used as of now to read serial ports? Mar 08 10:25:16 i hope someone answers you, i'm also waiting anxiously Mar 08 10:51:51 q0: yes, the latest debian-based image supports this Mar 08 11:42:23 is it possible to flash a microSD "boot-only" image onto the eMMC? Mar 08 12:12:36 does the BeagleBone black come with a sticker? Mar 08 12:17:29 A sticker? Mar 08 12:19:52 sometimes when you reboot the beaglebone it gets stuck in u-boot. dafuq. Mar 08 12:31:59 yeah SpeedEvil like a sticker of the logo Mar 08 12:34:35 * tbr doesn't think he had one in the box Mar 08 12:34:52 ok thanks Mar 08 12:36:05 Ji Mar 08 12:36:11 Hi ! Mar 08 12:40:49 I have a weird issue with my BBB. When I boot from NFS with static IP, the kernel fail to mount because the BBB doesn't answer to ARP request. When I configure ip as dhcp, the bbb answer to ARP request and the nfs is mounted. Why BBB doesn't answer to ARP request in static IP mode ? Mar 08 12:52:43 zump: I think that happened to my BBB today. Resetting fixed it :P Mar 08 12:54:08 Abhishek_: but why :( Mar 08 12:56:53 no idea Mar 08 16:21:13 join beagle-gsoc Mar 08 16:21:28 oops, goof-up Mar 08 16:27:44 hi everyone Mar 08 16:28:08 quick question, has anybody tried it the BB GPIOs are 5V tolerant? Mar 08 16:35:08 vmayoral: a short look into the documentation will tell you that they are not Mar 08 16:37:24 KotH: thanks Mar 08 18:25:00 Hi@all i use the newest image of debian@bbb where can i find the current used device tree file ... currently i have the problem that the gpio pin 68 is by default high :/ Mar 08 18:57:58 hello Mar 08 18:59:31 why do i have to fully qualify /usr/bin/npm and run it as sudo Mar 08 18:59:38 whereas as root i dont have to Mar 08 19:09:52 <_av500_> different $PATH Mar 08 19:09:58 beaky: run 'which npm' and if its' not there, echo $PATH Mar 08 19:14:26 /bin:/usr/bin Mar 08 19:14:55 maybe i should use the same path for the user as well Mar 08 19:16:14 generally i don't put sbin stuff in a standard user's path Mar 08 19:16:22 but thats about it for rules, i do some dippy shit Mar 08 19:23:42 hello , i am new here .. how do i post my idea without having the apprehension of it being plagiarized in case it is good Mar 08 19:24:36 you reach the realization that if someone else takes it and runs with it, well, you probably wouldn't have actually pursued it that far anyway, so now the world gets to benefit and you didn't have to do the work ;) Mar 08 19:25:54 haha.. is this the mentor i am talking to ? Mar 08 19:27:44 and ya its kind of an abstract idea Mar 08 19:28:11 Piyush: the thing about good ideas are that they are rarely new Mar 08 19:28:52 i totally agree s5fs Mar 08 19:31:03 Piyush: when sharing abstract ideas, do your best to conceal whatever you consider to be the "secret sauce" Mar 08 19:31:58 but owing to the fact that bb has had a potential which made it touch the roof in such a small span .but also that it was only selected in 2013 Gsoc .. how do i choose my own idea over the idea page? Mar 08 19:35:07 Piyush: i'm not sure how to answer, i don't follow your question Mar 08 19:36:03 for myself, choosing BBB was easy because circuitco provides an easy way to go from proto gear to final product, important for a small project like mine (4 ppl) Mar 08 19:36:44 is it a good idea to choose from your idea over existing idea on the idea page Mar 08 19:37:10 i mean whats better and has more chance to be selected? Mar 08 19:37:31 Piyush: hahaha i'm sorry i was reading that as soc (system on chip) not google summer of code Mar 08 19:37:46 not a problem :D Mar 08 19:38:02 i hope iam clear now? Mar 08 19:44:36 yes but i don't know if i can help you Mar 08 19:45:18 whats your idea Mar 08 19:45:21 i assume you can either put forth a really novel idea and try to get it working, or find an existing idea and focus on the tech side Mar 08 19:45:45 personally i'd do something with a sensor network but thats what i find interesting Mar 08 19:46:38 hello, I installed debian wheezy and linuxcnc from here. http://blog.machinekit.io/p/machinekit_16.html I installed tinyvmc on my bbb and I'm trying to get a virtual desktop Vinagre setup through the Usb from my laptop 64 bit USB 12.04 Ubuntu laptop to my bbb over the usb cable. I been trying to tweak /home/.bashrc to get X-windows to work but so far no joy... Mar 08 19:46:40 #1 question.. can I get a remote gui to pop up over the usb, or does that need to go over ethernet.. Mar 08 19:46:41 #2 any hints/ recommended reading you can point me to Mar 08 19:47:56 if some existing idea rings a bell, and someone else proposes the same how will my proposal get a preference? Mar 08 20:01:36 anyone? Mar 08 20:18:22 Hi, I've plug my new BBB to my mac laptop (10.9). Device is mounted and both network and serial drivers are installed successfully. Now I can't browse to 192.168.7.2, host is not found. Any issue using BBB on Maverick OS ? Mar 08 20:20:46 make sure the USB network interface has an ip from the 192.168.7.0/24 range Mar 08 20:23:02 I guess there's a problem with the driver because I've no network interface on 192.168.7.0 . Mar 08 20:23:45 hello i use the newest image of debian@bbb where can i find the current used device tree file ... currently i have a problem that the gpio pin 68 is by default high :/ Mar 08 20:30:59 Nico44: you claim to have installed the network drivers successfully, do you really? Mar 08 20:32:08 well I've installed HoRNDIS-rel4.pkg and FTDI_Ser.dmg. Both went successfully to the end of installation. Mar 08 20:34:20 Nico44: is it 7.0 or 0.7 ? Mar 08 20:34:46 ok, forget it ! While talking I've unistalled/reinstalled drivers. It's working now: the network interface comes up when BBB is plugged. Mar 08 20:34:49 nvr mind Mar 08 20:34:55 thx Mar 08 21:13:46 if I want to flash ubuntu 12.04 on my beaglebone do I need to be connected to an external computer. Currently it's running angstrom displaying on LCD cape. Mar 08 21:20:11 anna_bot: beaglebone black can be reflashed with just an sdcard, but you gotta populate the sdcard with a computer Mar 08 21:23:14 you mean an operating system? Mar 08 21:23:33 I put ubuntu 12.04 on my sd card Mar 08 21:26:15 ok I am doing that now. Mar 08 21:26:21 do you know how long it takes for it to boot Mar 08 21:26:28 it's been stuck on blank screen for a bit Mar 08 21:29:19 ok got it Mar 08 21:29:21 i am silly Mar 08 21:29:21 thanks Mar 08 21:30:59 anna_bot: glad its working :) Mar 08 21:36:19 hey everybody!
