**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 22 02:59:59 2014 Mar 22 05:23:04 NotWired, my bbb always boots off the uSD Mar 22 05:23:12 without pressing the button Mar 22 05:43:03 Hi, first time using IRC, not sure if this is the correct place for this. Anyway, I got a BBB from adafruit today. I run some test codes in it through USB ssh, perfect no problem. But when I plug in the mini-hdmi, along with keyboard and mouse, there's no signal to the monitor. Is there some special commands that I will have pass through to activate it? thx Mar 22 05:44:32 Billwaa: you probably need to boot the board with it attached, else it won't recognize Mar 22 05:46:11 I did restart with it attached, but no video signal at all. I heard it boot up asleep, so I hit the keyboard couple times, but still no luck :( Mar 22 06:02:22 Billwaa: which distribution are you running on it? Mar 22 06:02:59 Angstrom, the one that ship with it. Mar 22 06:03:11 mh, I think that should work Mar 22 06:05:46 yeah, I am assuming I got a faulty one. I am waiting for my second BBB to come in. If that one work, then it proof this one is bad. Mar 22 06:24:43 Billwaa: it's unlikely that it's faulty. More likely it's that your screen doesn't behave properly and confuses the board. But I'm not familiar with how to troubleshoot that Mar 22 09:37:30 has vendor any problems? bbb nowhere to buy Mar 22 09:41:10 ghost75_: the demand is too high Mar 22 09:41:20 ghost75_: do what everyone else has to do..... pay for one to get in the que and wait Mar 22 09:41:26 ghost75_: just order one from a local vendor and you'll get one as soon as they get stock Mar 22 09:41:37 2 months omg Mar 22 09:42:20 is it know how many p/e cycles the emmc has? Mar 22 09:42:55 check the SRM for the part ID and look up the datasheet Mar 22 09:59:34 MTFC2GMTEA-0F_WT Mar 22 10:13:17 similar one http://datasheet.octopart.com/MTFC2GMVEA-0M-WT-Micron-datasheet-14049759.pdf Mar 22 10:13:25 looks like they dont give information Mar 22 10:21:45 how fast emmc is? Mar 22 10:35:07 that number was in the spec and from what I can see is fairly accurate Mar 22 10:35:22 how much? Mar 22 10:36:04 http://datasheet.octopart.com/MTFC2GMVEA-0M-WT-Micron-datasheet-14049759.pdf similar but not same Mar 22 10:37:55 I'm getting about 6M linear write and 18M linear read. Mar 22 11:51:06 ive got a 1 wire thermometer working on my gpio but i wana change the data pin...... anyone have any ideas how to change the gpio pin it uses? **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 22 14:01:45 2014 Mar 22 15:18:03 i'm trying to get the kernel headers for 3.13.6-bone8, any idea from where? Mar 22 15:53:49 Hello? Mar 22 15:55:08 Is anyone here? Mar 22 16:10:05 Hi, I'm brand new to the beagle bone. I have a lot of experience with Visual Studios and I like the environment. I've looked into Python but I was wondering if there is something like Visual Studios available for the Beagle Bone. Mar 22 16:11:23 @Dewayne by visual studio you mean microsoft IDE right ? Mar 22 16:12:13 Yes Mar 22 16:12:38 great a lot of IDE are available to run on different linux distributuions Mar 22 16:12:54 but to get this right to you want to develop on the beagle bone ? or for the beagle bone ? Mar 22 16:13:13 yes Mar 22 16:13:15 meaning do you want to compile your code on the beagle bone while it is running ? Mar 22 16:13:23 you could look into this http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/setting-up-eclipse-on-the-beaglebone-for-c-development/ Mar 22 16:14:01 if you want to develop on your PC and then run the compiled code on BB you could search with the key word cross compile Mar 22 16:14:22 do this solve ur problem Mar 22 16:14:23 ? Mar 22 16:14:35 I've used c a lot also with FPGA and I was hoping there was an enviroment similar to Visual Basic or C#. Mar 22 16:15:50 There is a Linux equivalent called mono I believe. Mar 22 16:16:12 Being able to step through code for debugging is pretty nice. Normally it doesn't work well with boards but I thought there might be something new. Mar 22 16:18:31 Have you used Mono? Mar 22 16:20:05 I tried mono when it first came out DeWayne, but I am useless at it. You could try a web search for mono. Mar 22 16:21:11 It is supposed to give the equivalent of the .Net environment. Mar 22 16:21:40 Thanks Jon__. Mar 22 16:22:01 What is the most used enviroment with BBB? Mar 22 16:22:14 Or what has the most examples available? Mar 22 16:22:16 You're welcome DeWayne. Sorry I don't know much about it. Mar 22 16:23:04 if you want an ide there is always eclipse Mar 22 16:23:15 although i am Mar 22 16:23:38 much happier with the command line Mar 22 16:24:32 tripoint, are you referring to Python? Mar 22 16:25:42 i use gcc mostly Mar 22 16:30:57 Is there a lot of examples available in gcc versus other enviroments? Mar 22 17:35:38 is there a proper procedure for disconnecting the BBB connected via USB cable to a PC? can I just eject the board and pull out the USB cable? Mar 22 17:38:08 PurpleDog: preferably you'd tell the board to shut down Mar 22 17:39:21 do I have to press the power button tbr? I don't see any instructions for disconnecting Mar 22 17:39:34 LEDs still flashing after ejecting the board Mar 22 17:40:40 PurpleDog: depends on the OS that you run on the board. You should always be able to just ssh in and issue a "shutdown -h now" as root Mar 22 17:41:20 I see, thank you Mar 22 18:12:00 is there a difference in reliablity between a sd card and usb stick? Mar 22 18:24:59 not really Mar 22 18:25:23 i think one connector may be more durable though Mar 22 18:26:10 if i stop gdm the power button ceases to work Mar 22 18:26:22 i wish i knew how to grab that event Mar 22 19:15:11 is there a guide for flashing Fedora onto the BBB from an SD card? the official fedora wiki only has a guide for using the console cable and the beagle wiki links to a deleted fedora image Mar 22 19:16:58 then its better to use usb stick, because its faster? Mar 22 19:56:20 Hi guys.How many miliAmpers is on the GPIO out on beagleboard xM Mar 22 19:56:23 ? Mar 22 20:14:45 <_av500_> a few only Mar 22 21:25:57 http://hifiduino.wordpress.com/ has been doing a nice couple posts about the beaglebone black Mar 22 21:26:02 very good reading Mar 22 21:28:24 There are few sources out of forum posts for BBB as a hifi source, so this is very cool Mar 22 21:29:22 what audio codec? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Mar 23 02:59:58 2014
