**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 18 03:00:00 2014 Jul 18 03:05:10 beaglebone doesnt have the extra mini otg port unfortunatly, guess embest added it Jul 18 06:42:49 hi good morning Jul 18 06:43:03 any device tree expert around? Jul 18 11:54:56 hai, How to enable at25df321 serial flash as mtd block in /dev/ on beagleboneblack. Am using 3.8 kernel. Jul 18 11:56:02 https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+spi+flash Jul 18 11:57:17 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/mtd/devices/ Jul 18 11:58:32 http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~baker/devices/lxr/http/source/linux/drivers/spi/at25.c?v=2.6.25 Jul 18 11:59:05 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c Jul 18 11:59:51 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mtd/m25p80.txt Jul 18 13:59:25 hi Jul 18 13:59:45 any USB hub with minimum 3A Jul 18 14:00:09 any one can backfeed the bone black Jul 18 14:29:30 Hi! How do I change the SPI clock (P9_22) speed on BBB? And what is the maximum speed of this clock? There is nothing on the TRM about this. Jul 18 14:59:00 Hi I want to re-install perl on the Beaglebone Black. The version that comes pre-installed is causing me problems. How can I install a newer version? Jul 18 15:00:16 Shiv debian? Jul 18 15:02:51 woglinde Angstrom Jul 18 15:03:06 whats the problem with the perl? Jul 18 15:03:15 and you are better now installing debian Jul 18 15:07:46 I'm trying to run a program that uses the socket library in perl but the version that's downloaded isn't finding it Jul 18 15:11:54 maybe you have to install the perl modul? Jul 18 15:15:34 i tried doing that but it keeps wanting me to install other modules as well. I would rather just install a new version Jul 18 15:16:44 I tried running the same program on my machine and it worked so I think it's a problem with the version of perl that's currently installed on BBB Jul 18 15:16:50 hm no Jul 18 15:17:03 you can only install whats in the angstroem feed Jul 18 15:17:18 besides you can install gcc and compile your own perl version Jul 18 15:17:26 if you find that easier Jul 18 15:20:50 woglinde do you know how to change the clock frequency for the SPI pin (P9_22), maybe using python or any other way that you might know? Jul 18 15:22:14 ardit no Jul 18 15:23:42 ok Jul 18 15:24:46 Does anyone know how to change the clock frequency on the SPI pin (P9_22) Jul 18 15:32:35 Ardit: it looked like your question had been answered on the mailing list? Jul 18 16:28:47 Could someone provide a link to a good starter kit that won't have me going back to get things like USB cables, etc etc? I have a solod background in arduino but I have chosen the beaglebone as my next learning platform. Jul 18 16:47:46 that's actually a really good idea, pair it with a beefy 5v PSU so people can stop having power issues when they plug stuff in, etc Jul 18 16:48:08 Hey! Jul 18 16:49:35 http://www.mpja.com/5-Volt-DC-Plug-Power-Supply-4A-Regulated/productinfo/18520%20PS/ Jul 18 16:49:41 ^^^ I think that would be a good start Jul 18 16:50:20 also get a https://www.tindie.com/products/spirilis/beaglebone-black-ftdi-friction-fit/ if you want console goodness Jul 18 16:52:06 as for USB cables, the bbb comes with a good mini-USB cable. If you want to do HDMI, you'll need a micro-HDMI cable like http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=7557 Jul 18 16:52:16 but I'm seeing what you mean, a starter kit would be cool Jul 18 16:54:04 none of the kits seem to include the HDMI cable, which is weird to me Jul 18 17:12:42 Hi Jul 18 17:14:48 Has anyone had this problem? Jul 18 17:15:09 ./qte-example -qws -sh: ./qte-example: Permission denied Jul 18 17:15:42 is your file set as executable? Jul 18 17:16:26 if not, `chmod +x qte-example` Jul 18 17:26:54 After restarting worked. Thank you for assisting me in these first steps... Jul 18 18:19:49 @myself Your list began with the power supply correct? Jul 18 18:22:21 I don't need the HDMI cable as I am only using it as a controller for switches (greenhouse applications) Jul 18 18:23:01 I have been away from the BBxM for awhile. What is the latest stable version of Ubuntu - Wheezy? Jul 18 18:24:02 wheezy would be debian, not ubuntu Jul 18 18:24:31 are you looking for ubuntu? or debian? Jul 18 18:25:42 I had been running Ubuntu and would like to staty with that. Jul 18 18:26:45 try http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#BeagleBoard_xM Jul 18 18:27:07 if you're on an xM rather than say the bbb Jul 18 18:28:41 Yes xM, Thanks, I am sure I will be back with more questions but for now I need to get an up to date Ubuntu. Jul 18 19:02:42 is it a group for beagle dog lovers? Jul 18 19:02:59 umm, no Jul 18 19:03:10 I was kidding :D Jul 18 19:04:15 I had trouble seeing that through the internet Jul 18 20:09:43 can anybody recommend a tutorial for driving a l298n h bdrige with the beaglebone black using c/c++ and with pwm to control the speed Jul 18 21:21:52 hmmm Jul 18 21:23:30 yes Jul 18 22:46:49 hello all, I'm having some trouble following robert nelson's instructions on http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/beaglebone+black Jul 18 22:47:18 im trying to set up my own image, i did this about a month ago and got it to work but I think the instructions have changed and it looks like they may in part be wrong Jul 18 22:47:40 let me paste the debug output from uboot Jul 18 22:48:27 http://hastebin.com/azugixopiz.coffee Jul 18 22:49:05 I think the issue is with uEnv.txt, it appears to be basically empty and in the wrong place, i could be wrong but when I compare it to a working image I have the uEnv is in the boot directory but robert nelson's wiki says to put it in /rootfs/boot Jul 18 22:57:32 I think i got it figured it out thanks to the wayback machine Jul 18 22:57:45 but still, I'm not sure if robert nelson's current instructions are incorrect or if I suck Jul 18 23:20:44 I think i fixed the uEnv issue but now I have a new one Jul 18 23:28:33 MrYaah: the newest images do have the uEnv.txt moved to /boot, rather than on the fat partition Jul 18 23:28:47 MrYaah: they are backwards-compatible with the old image, though Jul 18 23:41:36 vagrantc: Aah, But still the uEnv.txt from robert nelson's page seems to be only 1-2 lines long Jul 18 23:41:48 vagrantc: when normally it should be 40 or so Jul 18 23:58:39 that sounds a bit wrong, yes Jul 19 00:25:10 What are the significant differences of the Beaglebone Black the first one (I have) between Rev B/C? Is it just the eMMC architecture? Jul 19 00:56:32 reckoner133: the only significant difference is the eMMC is doubled Jul 19 00:57:05 The rootfs from robert nelsons website, http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/beaglebone+black#BeagleBoneBlack-RootFileSystem, where does something like this come from, and if I wanted to make my own with my own custom set of preinstalled packages etc how would I go about doing that? Jul 19 00:58:02 reckoner133: see http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Revision_C_.28Production_Version.29 Jul 19 00:58:46 that contains a product version history Jul 19 00:58:50 I have the A5A for example Jul 19 00:59:29 thanks friendo Jul 19 01:17:19 jpfau: thanks a bunch for that link. Do you have any other awesome resources other than those hosted on the wiki? Jul 19 01:17:42 reckoner133: I think it's mostly that wiki that I know about Jul 19 01:17:49 Cool thanks man Jul 19 01:17:49 and google always helps Jul 19 01:17:57 have new BBB dev c. ssl into BB but when I type opkg update, i get "-bash: opkg: cammand not found" what is the problem? a PATH problem? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jul 19 03:00:00 2014
