**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri May 23 03:00:01 2014 May 23 04:37:44 what did we miss today May 23 04:38:05 The end of the world? May 23 04:38:46 again? May 23 04:40:18 What if each time the world doesn't end it actually does in an alternate universe and we are just a million near misses from annihilation and next time may be our time. May 23 04:40:41 yes May 23 04:40:54 what if May 23 04:42:16 I guess it doesn't matter since we never come in contact with those universes. Poor sods. May 23 04:42:36 my 3.B will be here soon May 23 04:42:38 what hsall i do first May 23 04:42:56 feed a GPIO 12v May 23 04:43:03 why May 23 04:43:12 To let the magic smoke out May 23 04:43:17 why would anyone say that May 23 04:43:19 some ppl would believ it May 23 04:44:28 lol well in all honesty I take that piece of advice from personal experience (on accident of course) May 23 04:45:26 Why would you buy a BB without a purpose though? May 23 04:55:28 why not May 23 04:58:31 I guess if you like $55 dust collectors. I knew when I bought mine I wanted to interface my MPL115A2 eval kit and I wanted to tinker with custom embedded linux builds. May 23 05:00:03 whats an mpl115a2 May 23 05:00:30 Ambient Barometric Sensor made by Freescale Semiconductors May 23 05:01:55 complex May 23 05:04:59 What parts do you have lying around? May 23 05:06:03 lots i mean im planning on using it for freepbx but i was wondering if there is anyhitng else May 23 05:06:06 that ppl use them for May 23 05:08:31 lol that feels a bit like asking what all people use bread for May 23 05:10:18 with butter usually May 23 05:12:11 If you wan't a headache learn about the PRU system. I'm working with that currently May 23 05:18:01 pru? May 23 05:19:38 Programmable Realtime Unit, 200MHz non-deterministic core. There's two of them on an AM335x forming the PRUSS. May 23 05:20:09 i have no idea what u talking about May 23 05:20:09 lol May 23 05:21:44 lol they're only useful in cases when you need very fast very reliable monitoring of inputs. May 23 05:22:33 i doubt i will May 23 05:23:12 raspberrypifan: write something with my library ;) May 23 05:23:17 it needs more love May 23 05:23:22 how many books does it have May 23 05:23:57 What library do you own nyt? May 23 05:43:27 https://github.com/notnyt/beaglebone May 23 05:43:37 =[ May 23 06:08:11 So I've got an old-school BB, I guess you would call it a White? May 23 06:08:22 And...that BBB RevC looks awful pretty. May 23 06:08:53 i'd get a revc if i had the spare cash laying around May 23 06:09:00 I'm wondering if I can solicit some arguments that I should, or should not, either way, upgrade to a BBBC. May 23 06:09:01 my rev b will have to do May 23 06:10:06 Part of me is kinda sad about the RevC, even that tiny increase puts it through a whole bunch of mental breakpoints. May 23 06:10:27 faster May 23 06:10:27 more ram May 23 06:10:30 increase in price, I should have specified. May 23 06:10:31 serial header May 23 06:10:39 larger emmc May 23 06:10:48 hdmi May 23 06:11:35 * nyt sleep & May 23 06:11:36 As far as specifically the argument for a BBB vs. an RPi May 23 06:12:14 I still prefer the BB, but it's significantly harder to evangelize to my buddies interested in embedded systems May 23 06:18:41 it all depends on wat you want to do with a bbb/rpi May 23 06:19:00 rpi still has its places May 23 06:19:05 *place May 23 06:45:26 http://nathanielrlewis.com/?p=87 May 23 07:07:16 i want interface usb camera May 23 07:07:22 with bbbb] May 23 07:07:38 what keeps you from doing it? May 23 07:07:43 am getting select timeout May 23 07:08:16 LetoThe2nd: can you tell me why am getting May 23 07:09:26 mahesh__: no. but if you provide details (like software you used, which camera, which error message, error message when) maybe someone else can May 23 07:09:49 am using bulzer usb camera May 23 07:09:54 using opencv May 23 07:10:56 select time out error am getting when i run a program May 23 07:11:11 LetoThe2nd, hello May 23 07:11:20 LetoThe2nd, are you busy May 23 07:11:29 mahesh_: i told you that i cannot help you. May 23 07:11:39 LetoThe2nd, why May 23 07:12:22 mahesh_: because i do not care about cameras, i do not care about opencv, and i do not feel like asking you every single detail because you do not provide good informations. May 23 07:13:17 LetoThe2nd, ok fine which one you are familiar May 23 07:14:27 mahesh_: you are not listening. "I WILL NOT SUPPORT CAMERA THINGS." May 23 07:15:07 LetoThe2nd, ok sir which thing you are supporting May 23 07:15:57 LetoThe2nd, actually am newer to bbb May 23 07:17:10 Mounicq, hi May 23 07:17:15 Mounicq, May 23 07:17:29 Mounicq, did you know about bbb May 23 07:21:08 wow... how do people get so pushy? May 23 07:50:02 what is the difference between /sys/class/uio/uio0/maps/map2/ and /sys/class/uio/uio0/maps/map1 May 23 08:08:05 heeen: 1 May 23 08:18:18 herp derp May 23 08:18:47 map1 is l3ram, map2 is extram May 23 08:18:51 fyi May 23 08:18:56 https://github.com/beagleboard/am335x_pru_package/blob/master/pru_sw/app_loader/interface/__prussdrv.h May 23 08:26:14 TIL May 23 09:50:53 i was trying to setup a wifi ad-hoc network with my BBB.I gave static ip, essid and key.But the network didnot setup. Wlan0 is not attaining any ipv6 address.Can someone help me May 23 09:50:58 the joys of having a gcc compiling gcc error, searching the web and finding a solution posted by your older self on the ML \o/ May 23 10:03:38 you posted it in the future? May 23 10:21:48 Hello i've a question is there a nullcape available for the bbb? like the adafruit for the bbw? May 23 10:22:29 what is a nullcape May 23 10:25:16 I guess just a pcb with cape pins May 23 10:25:20 protocape? May 23 10:25:43 yeah May 23 11:43:36 Hello, is there still information on the Pico Projector ? May 23 12:10:46 BBB , angstrom with RTL8188CUS -- poor rates, dropped connections, worth searching for solution? May 23 12:11:01 or just get another adapter? May 23 12:11:31 anything in dmesg? May 23 12:11:34 maybe power issues May 23 12:13:57 ill check dmesg but it is with a 2a adapter straight tothe usb May 23 12:14:16 had worked for a while 10/12 mbps on speedtest frmo client May 23 12:14:29 now at < 1 mbps up and down May 23 12:17:12 issue_nulldata(wlan0) to xx;xx;xx May 23 12:17:29 ill google that May 23 12:17:35 thanks, im new at *nix May 23 12:27:35 USB wifi is generally problematic. Also I'd strongly suggest to power the beagle through the barrel connector. If you power it through USB it might boot in low power mode. May 23 13:18:41 is there any reason my beaglebone black will not boot an sd card with arch linux on it? could this be due to debian being flashed on the miicrosd card? May 23 13:28:13 mistawright: that sounds weird. I believe it should be fine. Have you wired up the serial cable and debugged it? May 23 13:35:01 vmayoral|pc, no serial cable starting to think its about time i get one. do you recommend any one in particular May 23 13:35:41 http://www.amazon.com/3-3V-Debug-Cable-BeagleBone-Black/dp/B00FA7LD0Y May 23 13:49:36 ehhh. amazon doesnt take paypal. guess i'll have to use my paypal funds for quadcopter parts etc. May 23 13:49:45 looks like its good to have anyway May 23 13:51:04 would a usb to rs232 ttl adapter work as well? May 23 13:51:56 i missed the original question but ttl is usually 5v May 23 13:52:05 don’t use that wiht the beaglebone serial port May 23 13:54:56 johnwalkr, would this work for the beaglebone black? May 23 13:55:14 trying to avoid amazon or paying $20 bucks for a cable May 23 13:55:23 what are you trying to do, and what is the rs232 ttl adapter you have? May 23 13:57:48 these are really useful to have on hand for problems like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009 May 23 13:57:58 i am looking to purchase one to see why i cant boot archlinux on my beaglebone black and it would help as I have been trying to get my own kernel onto the beaglebone but had issues with ubuntu 14.04 booting it as I had no uInitrd to modify May 23 13:58:18 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-USB-to-TTL-Serial-Cable-Adapter-FTDI-Chipset-PL2303HX-USB-Cable-Computer-/261443410595?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cdf3ddaa3 May 23 13:58:38 i figured i would buy this as its voltage seems to be 3.3v according to the auction May 23 14:00:18 yup, that will work May 23 14:00:21 confirmed here: http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/PL2303HX.pdf May 23 14:00:53 (that’s the IC it says it has) May 23 14:00:53 i just noticed it was 4 pin versus 6 pin May 23 14:01:07 that’s ok May 23 14:02:00 you only need rx, tx and ground May 23 14:02:43 the other pins are for hardware flo control which isn’t very common anymore (and not needed for beaglebone)( May 23 14:03:03 cool. thanks for the help. just purchased it May 23 14:04:14 great May 23 14:04:37 good to have around May 23 15:15:32 Here’s a fun one: eth0 does not come up on BB A6 but it comes up on BB A3 (same sd card) May 23 15:17:17 hello... im having problems compiling rcnelsons debian/ubuntu on x86 ubuntu 14.04 May 23 15:18:29 somehow there is an eth2 in ifconfig -a ? May 23 15:18:52 that doesnt sound right May 23 15:19:44 anyone any good at kernel compiling issues? May 23 15:24:35 anyone know where to get this file? gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file May 23 15:25:53 in ubuntu, ive downloaded gcc 4.8, g++, gcc 4.8 armhf cross comiler..,. wtf May 23 15:27:15 dogrocket: have you installed build-essential ? May 23 15:31:55 apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf build-essential ... May 23 15:32:07 that should give you all yoou need, properly integrated and ready to use May 23 15:32:55 (or gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf in case you are on an older release and 4.8 isnt the default) May 23 15:34:38 checking... gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gneuabifh is one i getted May 23 15:35:20 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/ARMKernelCrossCompile has some hints ... May 23 15:35:22 I dont think you should install gcc-arm-linux-… RCN’s build scripts will fetch the toolchain from linaro or seomthing May 23 15:36:10 should be identical May 23 15:36:23 ubuntu develops the arm toolchain in linaro and syncs from there May 23 15:36:57 build essential didnt help May 23 15:37:01 dogrocket: here is what i followed without any issue: http://adis.ca/post/debian-wheezy-beaglebone-black/ May 23 15:37:50 thx will try May 23 15:40:30 nope it says i have all the newest versions of everything May 23 15:40:50 what is cc1 a c compiler? May 23 15:40:54 and you did the exports like the above wikipage describes ? May 23 15:41:05 (thats why i pointed it to you) May 23 15:41:41 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} distclean works May 23 15:42:10 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} am335x_evm_config works May 23 15:42:25 thats not on tegh page i posted May 23 15:42:32 export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmhf); export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- May 23 15:42:40 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} doesnt work May 23 15:42:43 cd your/kernel/tree May 23 15:42:44 make May 23 15:44:30 (probably needs ARCH=arm exported too... but that should be all you need if using the ubuntu cross toolchain) May 23 15:50:01 i even copied cc1 i found to /usr/bin and it gives me other errors May 23 15:50:38 gcc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin.so not found May 23 15:50:55 its like librarys are missing May 23 15:51:21 will remove and reinstall gcc May 23 15:52:58 nope May 23 15:58:18 i give up, spent 14 hours trying to figure this out... lol May 23 15:59:13 will reinstall ubuntu May 23 16:12:53 so after i install a new version of ubuntu do i need to install build-essential and other stuff or will default system have what i need to run kernel config May 23 16:13:48 i think it should install gcc 4.8 by default... but not sure May 23 16:16:31 see the ubuntu wikipage i pasted above May 23 16:17:58 you might not need the packging tools if you only want to build a zImage ... May 23 16:18:21 (i.e. fakeroot or kernel-wedge ... but installing them wont do any harm) May 23 16:18:55 ok May 23 16:18:57 install the packages it lists at the top May 23 16:19:10 grab your kernel tree ... configure it May 23 16:19:26 export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmhf); export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-; export ARCH=arm May 23 16:19:31 cd in your kernel tree May 23 16:19:42 run the make command you want May 23 16:39:49 New BBB owner.....what is everyone else working on? May 23 16:40:45 ok thanks much ogra May 23 16:40:45 i had old version of ununtu 13.04, and was able to write kernels fine before, but then i upgraded to unbuntu 14.04 , and things went south from there May 23 16:42:09 How did 13.04 run on your BBB May 23 16:42:15 a home automation system using a beaglebone white with a few arduinos an rtc and a gsm module May 23 16:42:41 cool that sounds like a project! May 23 16:43:19 I made an alarm clock with 700 lines of code....was my first real coding project May 23 16:43:25 on my arduino May 23 16:43:48 That GSM shield must open some opportunities May 23 16:44:17 Checked out that Ninja Blocks for ideas? May 23 16:44:39 BUCKSFC: lunar rover prototype May 23 16:46:22 thats cool! I though about doing a weather balloon project one....imagine getting that guy into orbit! May 23 16:46:29 once* May 23 16:47:25 i’m using it as a stand-in for an fpga for image processing stuff, basically May 23 16:47:35 in the meantie until someone gets around to making that for me May 23 16:51:40 cool, not sure what my first project is going to be on the BBB. I made an amilight for XBMC with my PI. May 23 17:07:43 <__butch__> Hey guys, I have an interesting problem. May 23 17:08:11 <__butch__> I just got my Rev C board, and I dd'ed the latest debian image to SD. I boot off that. May 23 17:08:39 <__butch__> The BBB comes up seemingly just fine, but after 9 or 10 minutes, it kernel panics and shuts down. May 23 17:08:57 <__butch__> During the 10 minutes it's up, it works fine. May 23 17:09:03 <__butch__> Here's the output of the boot: https://gist.github.com/ButchAnton/53c9af28ad6e52b43a82 May 23 17:09:37 <__butch__> Any ideas? May 23 17:10:32 what? May 23 17:10:34 wow May 23 17:22:03 <__butch__> It seems, however, that running of eMMC works fine with the same (I think) image. Bad SD card? May 23 17:22:27 <__butch__> Of course, now that I've said that it runs fine off eMMC, I'm sure it will panic in the next 30 seconds or so. :-) May 23 17:22:37 power is always the first thing to check May 23 17:26:10 I am using the USB HOST port with a WiFi card. I installed everything necessary to make that work. Bt I need USB0 for my own device port. BBB installs a composite device with CDC, MSD, ... How do I go about removng that stuff and installing my own device. looks like it it in uboot May 23 17:28:08 <__butch__> @johnwalkr powered by 5V wall wart. May 23 17:28:14 <__butch__> No usb connections at all May 23 17:28:21 <__butch__> The only thing connected to it is the serial cable. May 23 17:28:36 trying another one is still useful but i would also suspect the sd card i guess May 23 17:29:49 <__butch__> Trying a different (not rev C) BBB with the SD card. May 23 17:53:23 <__butch__> Yeah, it panic'ed in this BBB as well. I'm voting for bad SD card. May 23 18:10:21 yup butch or somethign weird abotu that image, but that seems unlikely May 23 18:11:05 i used a 12v power on my beaglebone black, smoke came out wat do? May 23 18:11:32 buy a new one? May 23 18:11:54 I can't replace a part? May 23 18:13:01 Do you know how to reflow? May 23 18:13:11 No I dont May 23 18:13:52 Well.. then it would be severely rough, IF the 12v didn't make it to the AM335X. If it's done that you might as well buy a new board. May 23 18:14:08 even if you could replace it, the SOC is more expensive as a single part than the board May 23 18:14:27 if it’s the PMIC, you’d still need to answer yes to the reflow question May 23 18:15:32 Well I'll just buy a new board then. It just sucks to pay for the shipping May 23 18:15:51 now the next thing May 23 18:15:56 finding a board to buy! May 23 18:16:01 Yay! May 23 18:16:14 \0/ May 23 18:16:55 I seem to always buy my boards at Radioshack but then again you have to buy them in $80 MAKE kits. May 23 18:17:40 thing is.. I'm in europe.. May 23 18:17:58 No radioshacks around here May 23 18:18:15 Oh... well then... yea so about that shipping. lol May 23 18:18:48 Its like $100 to get it shipped May 23 18:19:48 O.o Geeze. What are you using it for? May 23 18:20:20 A project for work with GPIO May 23 18:20:56 I could use a raspberry May 23 18:21:06 I know the community is lesser with OLINUXINO but maybe you have those over there. May 23 18:22:05 I havn't heard about it, I'll look into it May 23 18:23:03 They're interesting. They go from A10-A20 processors and priced to sell. May 23 18:24:15 If it wasn't for my work with the PRU system of TI's processor I'd probably be using those. Base model has 160GPIOs May 23 18:24:45 Cool May 23 18:27:11 yeah i will probably pick one of those up May 23 18:27:52 Anyone knows why spi0 comes out as spidev1 and spi1 comes out as spidev2 ? May 23 18:28:19 I've played with buying one to toy around with for awhile. I just don't have the project for it. May 23 18:28:39 Anyways I'm on my way to the bar see you guys! May 23 20:55:40 Question: What woudl cause HDMI to be dim and fuzzy on a BBB? It works, but it's about half the brightness it shouldbe, and there's a lot of interferance. May 23 20:56:07 bad cable May 23 20:56:15 I have one like that, just binned it May 23 20:56:24 It's a HDMI to VGA converter May 23 20:56:29 and it works on my PC, just not on the BBB May 23 20:56:38 hahhahaha hdmi/vga converter May 23 20:56:44 well thats my guess out :-) May 23 20:56:57 they don't work on the bbb no. May 23 20:57:05 veremit: Odd, the wiki says they do May 23 20:57:13 well .. they sure didn't ... May 23 20:57:19 which wiki you lookin at? May 23 20:57:24 wait one May 23 20:57:30 hdmi handshake troubles >) May 23 20:57:55 veremit: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Accessories#HDMI_Type_A_to_VGA_M.2FF_with_3.5mm_Stereo_Adapter May 23 20:58:58 ok well looks like it does .. and you have ot put that EDID into the xorg by th elooks of things May 23 20:59:06 you won't get a display on console though I'm guessing May 23 20:59:33 but maybe someone's fudged that .. its a few months since I was working with mine. May 23 20:59:51 I had to bodge the driver into thinking there was a cable connected just to get RGB working May 23 20:59:51 Console and Xorg both have display May 23 20:59:59 but it's dim and fuzzy heh May 23 21:01:31 hey guys, i would like to ask you whats going on with BBs. Last weeks if i check supliers, nobpdy has BB or BBB, Everybody is out of stock. Is there any problem with manufacturing or goning to dead? May 23 21:03:18 extremefox: no, people buy them faster than they are being manufactured. just order one from one of the distributors and you will have it in due time. May 23 21:03:48 order and wait. That is The Way. May 23 21:03:50 also several distributors had stock over the last week, but quickly sold out... May 23 21:03:54 surprise May 23 21:04:32 still awaitin ramp-ups in production .. big difference between supply and demand still May 23 21:04:33 oki , thanks ;) May 23 21:04:40 maybe jkridner can shed some more light on it. May 23 21:06:00 extremefox: http://beagleboard.org/blog/2014-04-13-dude-wheres-my-beaglebone-black/ May 23 21:06:34 that was the last news May 23 21:07:37 still basically current, only a little further along in progress (i.e. the revC has been released now) May 23 21:07:58 Ok another question, I'm trying to get my BBB to not require the USER/BOOT button to boot off SD card, followed these instructions: http://shrkey.com/setting-up-beaglebone-black-to-boot-off-the-microsd-card/ to no avail, it still boots to eMMC no matter what unless USER/BOOT is pressed. May 23 21:08:03 So, am I missing something? May 23 21:08:40 you'll need to fudge/break the eMMC bootloader May 23 21:08:57 thanks for article veremit May 23 21:09:15 or vagrantc :P May 23 21:09:26 :) ok May 23 21:09:36 veremit: know of a writeup for how to do it? All the instructions I've found are near identical to that blog May 23 21:12:00 uhm .. not really .. I can't think what the order of boot is .. but I think it looks at eMMC first .. before uSD .. so you'd have to break that .. eg. by "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblkN bs=1M count=1" but be careful if ou do that May 23 21:12:19 Odd, I wonder why it works for other people May 23 21:12:44 the eMMC can boot the uSD if there's a valid signature May 23 21:12:59 you don't HAVE to hold the boot .. so it does work .. I've never had to use the 'boot' button May 23 21:13:14 I do have to hold it, otherwise ti won't boot to uSD May 23 21:13:18 it* May 23 21:13:33 perhaps its a featuer of the RCN bootloader I dunno. May 23 21:13:45 someone else here might be able to shed some light on it May 23 21:16:58 I created a loopback on uart1, I echo “stuff” to it once but when I cat it I get an unlimited number of “stuff^J” May 23 21:17:12 upwardindex: /dev/random May 23 21:17:12 ? May 23 21:17:27 ? May 23 21:17:52 upwardindex: That's where you can get an unlimited number of stuff from May 23 21:18:16 you mean /dev/urandom ? May 23 21:18:24 That works too May 23 21:18:36 Whichever your system implements May 23 21:19:28 perhaps there is some kind of echo feature enabled by default on debian on the serial port and it’s echoing to itself ad infinitum May 23 21:19:42 Oh, I misread May 23 21:19:44 I'm sorry May 23 21:19:53 need to read more carefully heh May 23 21:19:55 to who ? >) May 23 21:21:53 did you stty ? May 23 21:22:03 sometimes if the port isn't configured it just gets crap or repeated May 23 21:23:47 veremit: Yes, if I stty -echo I get nothing at all, if I stty echo I get the unlimited thing May 23 21:24:12 stty -D /dev/ May 23 21:24:50 if its unconfigured behaviour seems unpredictable May 23 21:25:14 -D is not a valid option, do you mean -F ? May 23 21:25:19 yeah my bad May 23 21:25:39 get my pic programmer wrong .. thats -F for file .. not D for device May 23 21:25:41 -sigh May 23 21:27:19 its very strange because I’m actually porting my application to debian and 3.14.4 and this uart thing is misbehaving. I did not expect any hurdles for such old stuff like uart May 23 21:27:55 its old on x86 with 16550 uarts .. but I don't see one of them on the beagle ;) its custom hardware :p May 23 21:42:29 Yeah it seems I am goign to need to do something to the eMMC somehow, even with the latest ubuntu image it still won't boot to uSD without the user/boot button. May 23 21:43:10 the hardware will be set to look at the eMMC by default .. unless you've hacked your board ;D May 23 21:44:00 Right, but I'm doing something wrong, everyone else seems to be able to do it May 23 21:44:07 not sure what they're doing differently May 23 21:44:32 missing something small ;) May 23 22:01:32 i got the bone May 23 22:01:37 but why does it have only one usb May 23 22:02:21 Because it was designed that way. May 23 22:02:30 Stick a USB hub on it if you want/need more May 23 22:02:49 who would not need more then one port May 23 22:02:57 I only need one May 23 22:04:11 if u need one wifi then there goes ur port May 23 22:05:02 Like I said, if you need more, stick a USB hub on it. Sorta like a raspberry pi, if you need more than two, you stick a hub on it May 23 22:05:33 anyway May 23 22:05:36 how do u turn this thing off May 23 22:05:47 you need powered hub anyway to do anythiing useful May 23 22:05:49 issue a half command and then unplug it May 23 22:05:54 halt* May 23 22:06:00 since you'lll be trying to run it of a stupid mini-B ... May 23 22:06:31 i dont even have it doing anyhting May 23 22:06:34 i just put the power supply on it May 23 22:09:16 hmm May 23 22:09:19 that power butotn is so tiny May 23 22:16:25 Ok removed my HDMI/VGA converter, HDMI seems perfectly fine, so I'll just delegate the converter to other uses, the BBB doesn't like it. one issue down, hundred more to go :) May 23 22:37:15 whats good May 24 00:07:50 ok im guessing the reasone my beaglebone white keeps dropping of the lan is coz the on board usb port cant supply enough current to the wifi dongle i am using, so a powered usb hub would help with that shouldnt it ? May 24 00:13:23 H-H-H: A powered USB hub is the first troubleshooting tool every BB(B) hacker should own. A USB-to-UART adapter being the second. :) May 24 00:14:49 i dont own a powered hub lol but i do own approx 20x ftdi usb - serial converters from when i have bought bulk loads of arduino stuff from variouse people/places May 24 00:15:31 i will get one though as i will also be running bluetooth via a usb dongle May 24 00:16:03 can we get wifi via gpio May 24 00:17:37 iin theory yes as there is a shield/cape that has wif and bluetooth May 24 00:17:45 how much is it May 24 00:17:52 but i havent looked into what it uses May 24 00:17:59 google it May 24 00:18:24 hm May 24 00:18:27 probablty too much money May 24 00:20:15 it seems the PMIC doesnt allow much current lol so it seems as tho it switches of the usb port and then only a hard reset ie removal of the 5vdc power cable fixes it May 24 00:20:27 whats a pmic May 24 00:21:14 power managment ic May 24 00:21:19 hm May 24 00:23:58 raspberrypifan: It’s way easier to use a USB WiFi adapter, unless you have other plans for that port. May 24 00:24:05 well May 24 00:24:08 i ned it for other thrings May 24 00:24:10 im sure May 24 00:25:08 just use a usb hub May 24 00:25:34 well May 24 00:25:36 i got a mini tiny hub May 24 00:25:39 that i used for the pi May 24 00:25:41 and it works good May 24 00:25:42 but still May 24 00:25:55 no but May 24 00:26:05 why cant it have 3 ports May 24 00:26:06 thats reasonble May 24 00:26:23 ive fast come to realise that i need to buy 2 things lol May 24 00:26:35 ? May 24 00:26:45 because costs May 24 00:26:51 a powered usb hub and a shitload of serial and i2c logic level converters May 24 00:26:52 if you want a mini pc, buy something different May 24 00:26:54 otherwise just get a usb hub May 24 00:27:06 not even using a powered one and not having issues here May 24 00:27:14 kb/mouse/wifi in a hub May 24 00:27:47 yea i got a mini one May 24 00:27:48 thats good May 24 00:28:00 im having issues with my wifi disapearing on a beaglebone white powered by a 5v 2 a adapter plugged into the barrel connector May 24 00:55:09 can the internal sd card be programmed to boot freepbx or how do u set booting up in a headless system May 24 01:23:14 raspberrypifan: mines always been headless, just follow the instructions for using the uSD image (versus the flasher image) May 24 01:23:28 flasher image? May 24 01:34:35 h-h-h: what wifi card May 24 02:07:14 raspberrypifan: i mean this in the politest possible way.... RTFM http://beagleboard.org/latest-images May 24 02:07:22 :) May 24 02:07:45 cant i flash freepbx onto the onboard mmc May 24 02:08:01 no idea May 24 02:08:55 cant i flash anyhting i want onto the onboard card May 24 02:09:01 yes you can May 24 02:09:14 ^ May 24 02:09:15 you just have to build the image to flash May 24 02:09:38 cant i just use a .img May 24 02:09:57 but don't bother, install debian, ssh into it, install the packages you need May 24 02:10:40 or if you have a min hdmi to monitpr and kb use the desktop May 24 02:11:47 get things working on the actual device and make an image of that May 24 02:12:50 isnt there an img for it already May 24 02:15:04 is the img for bbb/arm? May 24 02:15:53 yes as far as i know May 24 02:16:31 link to bbb image for it? May 24 02:16:57 a quick look only fines x86 and 64 bit versions May 24 02:17:18 not that ive looked hard, or ever used the software before May 24 02:21:13 one sec May 24 02:22:12 http://www.beaglebone-asterisk.org/ May 24 02:34:28 being thats not an officially supported distro your probably going to be on your own with it, cant you just install debian (to either your emmc or uSD) and then install your packages you want to that? May 24 02:40:33 idk May 24 02:40:38 semesl ike it would tak a lot longer May 24 02:42:15 because apt-get install asterisk is so hard May 24 02:42:17 wtf May 24 02:42:31 are you for serious? May 24 02:42:48 * Dan1 giggles May 24 02:43:03 but i want freepbx May 24 02:43:06
