**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 12 02:59:58 2014 Aug 12 05:02:46 Jesperhead, did you ever get things figured out? locate the right driver? It seems pretty apparent Xorg is not loading the graphics module it needs. Aug 12 05:03:04 i want a lapdock now Aug 12 05:03:06 :( lol Aug 12 05:03:23 AnomalousBit: no :( still looking Aug 12 05:03:32 lshw is reporting bus error Aug 12 05:03:48 yikes Aug 12 05:04:06 you may want to compile and load a newer version of the kernel, I'm not sure which version you are on Aug 12 05:04:24 they typically improve hardware support and include more modules/drivers with each release Aug 12 05:04:40 i updated my package manager, how to update kernel? Aug 12 05:04:40 just a shot in the dark Aug 12 05:04:51 err updated packages( Aug 12 05:05:30 well, unless your repo has a newer kernel, or if arch linux (sorry, not familiar) has an upgrade path for that, you will have to compile it yourself Aug 12 05:05:47 oh im actually in beagles distro Aug 12 05:05:53 arch was on microsd Aug 12 05:05:58 oh whoops Aug 12 05:06:13 yeah just trying different options just to get console output Aug 12 05:06:27 Which beagle distro? Debian or Angstrom? Aug 12 05:07:50 hrm not sure. pretty sure its debian BASED as it used aptitude Aug 12 05:07:52 please hold Aug 12 05:10:07 debian 04-23 Aug 12 05:10:34 (2014) Aug 12 05:17:08 well, you shouldn't have any driver related issues then. Sorry, when I heard you say Arch I thought that might be a lead Aug 12 05:17:20 have you plugged your BBB up to a tv to see if the video is working there? Aug 12 05:17:27 then you would know if it's display related Aug 12 05:18:05 I think there might be some convenient X configuration scripts/screen that you might be able to use if that's the case Aug 12 05:19:55 i can test in a moment Aug 12 05:20:05 i think i have cable Aug 12 05:20:14 get help. get abducted arm Aug 12 05:20:18 cat* Aug 12 05:47:12 grrr Aug 12 05:47:15 finally found the cable Aug 12 05:47:21 and its regular to mini hdmi Aug 12 05:47:24 not micro Aug 12 05:48:10 haha I had the same issue when I went to plug mine up when it first came in Aug 12 05:52:47 :( i have that problem now Aug 12 05:52:55 i didn't have enough money to make my amazon order Aug 12 05:53:38 so i have my BBB / proto cape coming in tomorrow, but no usb wireless card, no micro hdmi adapter (i dont like cables), no usb hub, no wireless kb/mouse... :( Aug 12 05:59:36 browser crash Aug 12 05:59:46 been happening a lot when viewing videos in firefox Aug 12 06:25:51 tawr: lucky you don't have a wireless mouse now Aug 12 06:27:28 why's that? Aug 12 06:40:29 eeks wanted to say kbd, not mouse obvsly Aug 12 06:40:57 ah okay Aug 12 06:41:15 do you happen to know if bluetooth works on them? Aug 12 06:41:32 i was looking at those tiny (extremely tiny) keyboards with integrated trackpad Aug 12 06:41:47 bt works on what? Aug 12 06:42:10 the bbb Aug 12 06:43:03 i have no idea why that could pose a problem. Aug 12 06:43:31 I had meant are there any specific chipsets that work well / out of the box, like how the situation is currently for wifi modules Aug 12 06:43:48 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C6CVAE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1MEPRIITAUYVN Aug 12 06:44:17 is what I had been thinking of using as input for the BBB, haven't looked up bluetooth adapters yet Aug 12 06:48:22 i'd expect bt to be orders less problematic than wifi Aug 12 06:50:49 exactly what I wanted to hear - thank you Aug 12 07:43:20 i have a lapdock connected to my beaglebone (hdmi for display, and a custom cable that plugs into the lapdock using microusb, and plugs into the bbbs host usb, and splits off to also power the device in its native 5v plug Aug 12 07:43:35 the bbb is powered successfully, but i am getting no response from the display, which should power on when it detects an appropriate hdmi signal Aug 12 07:43:53 im not booting into an xorg server, and only want console output atm. I can successfully ssh into the device and using debian distro 4-24 Aug 12 07:44:03 anyone have any thoughts or advice? Aug 12 07:48:00 Jesperhead: I think jkridner had it working at some point. Might need a specific display resolution forced? Aug 12 07:48:26 tbr all of my googling involving that seemed to be related to xorg Aug 12 07:48:35 and xorg conf Aug 12 07:49:11 the console display for natural cli environment doesnt seem to be firing off for whatever reason Aug 12 08:31:27 hey good day everyone. Aug 12 08:33:09 i am thinking about buying a used beagleboard-xm revision C. I had a look at the hardware changelog, and it says "The pads on the expansion Aug 12 08:33:12 headers wee beefed up to address some issues we were seeing where there was a Aug 12 08:33:28 headers wee beefed up to address some issues we were s Aug 12 08:33:28 disconnect between the etch and the pads inside the PCBs. Aug 12 08:33:33 oh.. sorry. Aug 12 08:34:19 well anyways, can someone comment on how big of a problem this might be and if i should be able to resolder the contacts properly in case they get disconnected? Aug 12 08:34:46 (that change is between rev.C and rev.C1) Aug 12 08:50:54 sounds rather like a production issue, not an in-field issue Aug 12 08:53:29 tbr: so do the boards get tested before being shipped? you think i can expect a shipped board not to exhibit such any flaw in that respect? Aug 12 08:53:42 s/any/a Aug 12 08:54:26 berzerka: obviously boards are being validated before they leave production. I personally would not expect such a problem. Aug 12 08:56:39 tbr: thanks, that's all i wanted to hear. Aug 12 08:57:14 another question: the beaglebone does *not* have a DSP chip comparable to the C64x+ on the beagleboard and -xm, right? Aug 12 08:58:13 yes, and neither does it have a multimedia accelerator Aug 12 08:58:53 great, off to get that beagleboard! thanks :) Aug 12 10:51:44 Hello anyone know if there is any code for measure their own voltage on BBB ??? Aug 12 10:55:17 I use a huawei E156 modem with BBB, it is not so stable as desired, and does not reach good upload speed as when used in a computer. can anyone recommend a good 3G modem for using with BBB, preferably a USB, or it can also be a Eth/3G modem to connect to ethernet port Aug 12 10:58:23 mifos: I don't think that part is wired up in the TPM Aug 12 11:21:30 Thanks tbr :) Aug 12 11:23:33 pzn: modems are notoriously high in their power consumption, you should check if that factors in Aug 12 11:25:35 tbr, no problem, have high power solar cells. Aug 12 11:29:08 pzn: without a battery buffer this will be horribly unreliable to power anything Aug 12 11:30:30 tbr, no problem. 480amperes of battery, 510 watts of solar cell, 5V 10A regulator. Aug 12 11:31:31 pzn: how are you powering the BBB and how is the modem attached to the BBB? Aug 12 11:36:07 tbr, the BBB is being powered by the 5V (P4) energy source. there would be a 5V powered usb-hub between modem and BBB (or it can also be a ethernet external power modem) Aug 12 11:37:00 tbr, know well the electric details of how to power it, so I won't have problems. Just want a recommendation of a good 3G modem model (stable/well developed driver/...) Aug 12 11:38:13 hello, I get this error while trying to use one of the pwm: Aug 12 11:38:19 [ 154.491997] ehrpwm 48304200.ehrpwm: Period value conflicts with channel 1 Aug 12 11:38:20 [ 154.499248] pwm_test bs_pwm_test_P8_19.19: pwm_config() failed Aug 12 11:38:25 n1 knows how to troubleshoot it? Aug 12 11:38:35 tbr, it can be any type of 3G (modem, accesspoint, ...) just it needs to be good (not "locking"), because distances are away (meteorological station, 600 miles from people...) good distance to travel if the modem simply locks... Aug 12 11:39:21 pzn: if you need reliability in that scale, then I'd look at completely different hardware than consumer-crap Aug 12 11:40:28 tbr, I never needed something like that. what manufacturers could I search for? Aug 12 11:41:01 tbr: ^. Its not about being crap. Its about being able to be able to blame someone else :p Aug 12 11:41:08 tbr, and it does not need to be "reliable all the time", it can lose signal, since it some time (hours later) get signal again Aug 12 11:41:09 in a different context someone just pointed out http://routerboard.com/ Aug 12 11:41:26 lots of ables... Aug 12 11:42:30 pzn: what are you going to do if the beaglebone itself fails? Aug 12 11:42:48 its probably more likely than a failing gsm card, considering the complexity Aug 12 11:44:38 I've seen cellular modems fail far too often to believe that statement in this form. Still being able to remotely powercycle the BBB through e.g. a GPIO wouldn't hurt. Aug 12 11:46:18 with a second bbb :D Aug 12 11:46:34 or a GPIO of e.g. that routerboard Aug 12 11:46:34 tbr: did those modem die for good? or just a software hickup? Aug 12 11:46:48 modems* Aug 12 11:47:00 day, I put a external watchdog. working pretty well for two months. uses 3 GPIOs, beagle sends a pattern 110 / 011 / 100 / 011 every minute. watchdog sends a reset-button if not getting pattern for 7 minutes, sends a power-button in 14 minutes, sends a power-cycle in 21 minutes and repeats the reboot-try pattern Aug 12 11:47:23 day: all sorts of things like died USB, no data flow on the cellular side, etc. all nicely fixed by just powercycling the modem. :-( Aug 12 11:47:51 pzn: yes. That was my thought as well, thats why i want to know if those modems might be fixable with a single reboot :) Aug 12 11:48:58 why do you even have a cellular signal 600km into bumbfucking nowhere? o0 Aug 12 11:49:24 day, I used a huawei H156 modem, powered-cycle it when fails with this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24039420/turn-usb-power-off-on-with-beaglebone-black-kernel-3-8 however I'm not feeling confortable with this modem model... it fails too many times Aug 12 11:49:46 i didnt expect them to be so bad o0 Aug 12 11:49:57 day, I mean there is no "tech-staff" near Aug 12 11:50:14 oh. i thought 600km away from people in general :) Aug 12 11:51:56 day, also 600miles -> 1Mm about... a little farther Aug 12 11:53:01 yeah, i noticed. but considering that theres not a big difference, i didnt bother to correct it. both is to far away to jump over Aug 12 11:53:36 Is that your private weather station? Aug 12 11:54:19 actually it sounds more like a astro setup :p Aug 12 11:55:08 no way you need that kind of power for measuring some weather changes :> Aug 12 12:06:41 pzn: ^ Aug 12 12:09:36 day, the weather station is being installed on a site with solar energy, that solar energy powers other equipments that are not mine. is it sure a huge power source for a beagle bone :-) most like using a cannonball to kill an ant :-D Aug 12 12:11:14 pzn i bought an E173 unlocked from aliexpress but i havent check it yet i did a small research before and i think will be fine with that. Aug 12 12:11:16 day, mmm... had an great idea... the dumb idea that I didn't have before... the other equipment there has modem connection. I could find a way to use its modem :-) Aug 12 12:12:02 pzn * huawei Aug 12 12:14:15 pzn: probably the best way, especially because it lowers your costs. Aug 12 12:32:56 is the MMC driver on BBB connected through the PMIC? (would I need to manually set voltages on the PMIC to initialize MMC Host on bare metal?) Aug 12 14:14:10 hey all, I was hoping someone could lend me a hand Aug 12 14:14:37 I messed with the DTB for am335x-boneblack.dtb Aug 12 14:14:48 and now it doesn't work correctly (i2c clock) Aug 12 14:14:53 i tried changing it back to no avail Aug 12 14:15:10 I'm just trying to find a repo with the original in it so I don't ahve to format all my other files on the SSD Aug 12 14:15:18 pointers? Aug 12 14:17:20 [kernel] jadonk pushed 1 new commit to master: http://git.io/q_Mxyw Aug 12 14:17:20 kernel/master b01edbd Jason Kridner: Update README.md Aug 12 14:47:00 is the MMC driver on BBB connected through the PMIC? (would I need to manually set voltages on the PMIC to initialize MMC Host on bare metal?) Aug 12 19:51:36 good morning Aug 13 00:59:18 Hi, i’ve been able to ssh to my beaglebone black since ive gotten it (flashed with ubuntu) Aug 13 00:59:24 but one day i powered it off Aug 13 00:59:29 and then now i can’t ssh into it Aug 13 00:59:37 it doesnt even connect to the usb thing, I think Aug 13 02:52:20 hi guys, quick question before I start hacking cables apart and soldering Aug 13 02:52:57 I just purchased a powered USB hub with a 5v 3A adapter. Can I "split" it with a Y cable Aug 13 02:53:08 to power the usb hub AND power the beaglebone? Aug 13 02:53:16 from the same power adapter **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Aug 13 02:59:58 2014
