Aug 05 04:32:16 <Rotti> hi!
Aug 05 05:38:33 <ShariVegas> Did TI ever make proper xorg drivers for the BBB?
Aug 05 05:40:43 <tbr> "proper"? xorg works fine on my board...
Aug 05 05:41:40 <ShariVegas> using fbdev?
Aug 05 05:47:39 <tbr> I believe that's what it's using, yes.
Aug 05 05:51:06 <ShariVegas> damn :(
Aug 05 05:51:22 <ShariVegas> was hoping there'd be accelerated xorg drivers out of TI by now
Aug 05 06:08:32 <tbr> ShariVegas: ah, why didn't you say what you mean then...
Aug 05 06:10:54 <tbr> ShariVegas: Some people have raw SGX working on a more recent kernel. Looks like wayland should be possible soon, xorg is so last millenium anyway.
Aug 05 09:24:53 <BennyB_> HI, has anybody made an ds1307 RTC work on BBB with debian 3.8(.13)?
Aug 05 09:55:15 <BennyB_> I followed the guide from adafruit (https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-real-time-clock-to-beaglebone-black) with angstrom it was working well. Im wondering what has changed in debian that it doesmn't work. because the commands are the same on debian
Aug 05 09:56:42 <BennyB_> I always get this error:
Aug 05 09:56:43 <BennyB_>  hwclock -r -f /dev/rtc1
Aug 05 09:56:45 <BennyB_> hwclock: Timed out waiting for time change.
Aug 05 12:53:47 <hewball> is there a correct way to load overlays on boot in debian/ubuntu?
Aug 05 14:42:09 <ShariVegas> tbr: yeah, SGX for qt seems supported fine, but no xorg drivers means making it (easily) into something better than the rpi... well, not easy
Aug 05 14:46:55 <tbr> ShariVegas: it's not an XBMC platform, if you're gunning for that, explicitly not.
Aug 05 14:50:56 <tbr> also xorg on embedded devices is meh, wayland is the future
Aug 05 15:22:37 <BeagleBoadNoob> could someone tell me what is the smallaest time delay I can have between two PWM pins? How could I calculate this?
Aug 05 15:24:52 <BeagleBoadNoob> could someone tell me what is the smallaest time delay I can have between two PWM pins? How could I calculate this?
Aug 05 15:39:46 <mistawright> hi guys. I have a question. Is there any reason why my wireless dongle would work when connected to usb but when attempting to power my beaglebone black through the pins it does not connect to any network?
Aug 05 15:45:13 <tbr> mistawright: same power supply in both cases?
Aug 05 15:50:08 <mistawright> tbr, powered through usb it works. powered through a volt supply to sysv it doesnt
Aug 05 15:51:37 <woglinde> mistawright thats odd
Aug 05 15:52:05 <woglinde> mistawright what mA/A output has the volt supply?
Aug 05 16:24:35 <mistawright> woglinde, good question. how would I check that on a multimeter? http://www.vetco.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=14337&gclid=CjwKEAjwgYKfBRDvgJeylem9xDUSJACjeQ7A7TGDmMA5T45bhVKfwGN6TG_QFsMKYTiqV-PTY4B9cRoC-Ejw_wcB this the breakouit i am using. i am powering it from the volt onboard 5 volt regulator
Aug 05 16:25:35 <mistawright> i am not sure if using the external 5 volt power means i need to supply volts directly, if it does not then i can attempt to remove the jumper and have it provide 5 volts directly from the lipo. i doubt that is the case as it sounds like i need to regulate and supply my own 5 volts
Aug 05 17:29:59 <Zubair> hello there
Aug 05 17:30:24 <Zubair> I have few questions regarding beaglbone black..
Aug 05 17:34:17 <Zubair> is it possible to install and run minecraft on beaglebone black?
Aug 05 17:34:31 <woglinde> yes
Aug 05 17:34:36 <woglinde> but it wont make fun
Aug 05 17:34:57 <Zubair> I tried that but the minecraft runs too damn slow
Aug 05 17:35:46 <Zubair> is their a version of minecraft for beaglbone like the one for raspberry pi i.e minecraftpi?
Aug 05 17:35:51 <Zubair> there*
Aug 05 17:35:57 <woglinde> nope
Aug 05 17:45:11 <Zubair> can we improve graphics capacity of beaglebone using any addon?
Aug 05 17:46:31 <woglinde> not that I know
Aug 05 17:49:10 <Zubair> ok thanks
Aug 05 17:49:37 <Zubair> so which is the best option if I want to run games raspberry pi or bbb?
Aug 05 17:55:17 <woglinde> none
Aug 05 17:55:26 <woglinde> both are not invented for gaming
Aug 05 17:56:13 <mistawright> get an udoo quad
Aug 05 17:58:29 <vagrantc> or an ouya?
Aug 05 19:08:03 <leiflindholm> vagrantc: raw mmc booting works fine as far as the MLO goes, but MLO itself then appears to not want to read filesystems ... looking into that bit
Aug 05 19:09:04 <vagrantc> leiflindholm: ah, right, that sounds consistant with my experience
Aug 05 19:09:21 <vagrantc> might have to build the MLO with more features ...
Aug 05 19:09:35 <vagrantc> although it's already 80k ... the limit is somewhere around 100k ?
Aug 05 19:10:07 <leiflindholm> vagrantc: I'm not convinced there really is a limit
Aug 05 19:10:32 <leiflindholm> the ROM looks at 128K intervals, but the size field can describe more
Aug 05 19:11:29 <leiflindholm> I added GPT partitioning support to the MLO, and it's still less than 90k
Aug 05 19:12:41 <vagrantc> well, the limit is perhaps defined by the partition table or card layout
Aug 05 19:12:46 <leiflindholm> I'm instrumenting the MLO code, and it seems to be parsing the FAT filesystem, and not liking it
Aug 05 19:13:02 <leiflindholm> but it _is_ parsing it
Aug 05 19:13:46 <vagrantc> using u-boot's MLO, or something else?
Aug 05 19:14:03 <leiflindholm> yeah
Aug 05 19:18:05 <gpza> Is there anyone around who can help me figure out a serial communication problem?
Aug 05 19:19:55 <gpza> minicom is set to 115200 8N1, no flow control, the beaglebone gnd/tx/rx pins are definitely wired correctly to the serial cable, and I've tried two different usb/serial adapters
Aug 05 19:20:18 <gpza> but when I power on the board, I just get a whole load of garbage characters
Aug 05 19:22:31 <gpza> eventually it responds to stuff I type, but the characters it echos back are not the ones I type / sometimes garbage
Aug 05 19:24:04 <leiflindholm> gpza: tried different speeds?
Aug 05 19:24:25 <gpza> yeah, I tried pretty much everything 9600->115200
Aug 05 19:24:51 <tbr> gpza: and you're using a 3.3V usb2serial adapter?
Aug 05 19:24:51 <gpza> most of the other speeds do not print anything at all
Aug 05 19:25:22 <gpza> hmm, I didn't actually check the voltage, but they're some generic usb->serial adapters from like taiwan
Aug 05 19:26:31 <tbr> with a DB-9 on the serial side or some open ended cable?
Aug 05 19:27:26 <gpza> DB9
Aug 05 19:27:58 <tbr> I really hope you did NOT attach that directly to the beaglebone debug port then
Aug 05 19:28:17 <gpza> haha no
Aug 05 19:28:43 <gpza> just some wires from the db9 to the gnd/tx/rx pins
Aug 05 19:28:52 <tbr> well that is directly
Aug 05 19:29:02 <tbr> your board or at least the UART might be toast by now
Aug 05 19:29:33 <tbr> please read the SRM about the debug port specs. it's strictly 3.3V
Aug 05 19:29:39 <gpza> the board is definitely fine, still boots
Aug 05 19:29:40 <gpza> hmm
Aug 05 19:30:37 <tbr> you'll want to put a level shifter in between the BBB and the usb2serial adapter
Aug 05 19:31:11 <tbr> or just get a so called "ftdi cable", which is a usb2serial cable with 3.3V reference
Aug 05 19:32:12 <gpza> thanks, I guess I'll just overnight a couple of those from amazon and try again tomorrow
Aug 05 19:33:05 <xro|> hi, just wanted to drop a quick link, that I though might be helpful
Aug 05 19:33:51 <xro|> it's a js webapp that generates the device-tree overlays bonescript usually uses, but outputs them for copy&paste: http://kilobaser.com/blog/2014-07-28-beaglebone-black-devicetreeoverlay-generator#dtogenerator
Aug 05 19:34:37 <xro|> for those people who want to work around bonescript or just work with a bare-bone beagle but still load/unload overlays change pinconfig on demand
Aug 05 19:38:51 <mistawright> doesnt look to work
Aug 05 19:38:53 <mistawright> cant select a pin
Aug 05 19:39:33 <xro|> mistawright,   what browser are you using?
Aug 05 19:39:41 <xro|> i've only tested it in ff and chrome
Aug 05 19:39:44 <mistawright> chrome and firefox in linux did not work for me
Aug 05 19:40:05 <xro|> 're you using request policy?
Aug 05 19:40:34 <xro|> mhh, will have to fix that in some way I guess...
Aug 05 19:40:37 <xro|> hold on
Aug 05 19:41:49 <mistawright> tried it on my windows machine i use for testing and the same thing. thats in internet exploder
Aug 05 19:42:54 <xro|> could you open the js console, reload the page, and forward me the error message ?
Aug 05 19:44:29 <mistawright> sent you message with the error directly
Aug 05 19:45:06 <Steffanx> dont use github as fileserver for your js xro| ;)
Aug 05 19:45:30 <Steffanx> at least not as plain text
Aug 05 19:46:41 <xro|> Steffanx, in the process of fixing just that right now :)
Aug 05 20:02:11 <xro|> should work now
Aug 05 20:02:29 <xro|> hopefully *fingers crossed* :)
Aug 05 20:18:55 <Steffanx> works for me xro|
Aug 05 20:22:38 <mistawright> me too
Aug 05 20:23:26 <mistawright> does this not allow you to setup multiple pins?
Aug 05 20:27:00 <mistawright> would be great for setting up a dts for multiple pins.
Aug 05 20:53:48 <Xippe> Hi friends
Aug 05 21:04:35 <leiflindholm> vagrantc: actually, when I switch to a less broken uSD, it works fine
Aug 05 21:05:02 <vagrantc> leiflindholm: i was mostly trying on the eMMC
Aug 05 21:05:14 <leiflindholm> vagrantc: ok, not gone there myself
Aug 05 21:05:54 <leiflindholm> but now booting my UEFI image called u-boot.bin from a fat32 partition via a GPT table
Aug 05 21:06:13 <vagrantc> nice.
Aug 05 21:06:32 <leiflindholm> might want to change the default file name :)
Aug 05 21:07:26 <leiflindholm> anyway, I'll write something up and post a link here when I have
Aug 05 21:11:57 <Xippe> I just rebooted my beaglebone and now I can no longer get a signal from hdmi =(. I just see the logo..then it goes no signal again..
Aug 05 21:13:46 <woglinde> xippe so connect a serial cable to find out whats going on
Aug 06 00:40:19 <notserpe> clear
Aug 06 01:17:37 <hewball> xro|: great link for device tree overlays, they were so confusing to start with
