Aug 26 04:49:10 <nmschulte> Hi all.  I have an original BeagleBoard (rev C3) running Debian 7.3 (kernel 3.6.0-x1), which I installed by following directions from the eLinux website.
Aug 26 04:49:39 <nmschulte> I wish to upgrade the kernel and software to the latest stable versions, but I'm unsure how to handle the kernel upgrade.  How should I approach this?
Aug 26 05:01:40 <RahulAN> LetoThe2nd, i Got my mems working :)
Aug 26 08:51:29 <Ecco> Hi
Aug 26 08:51:44 <Ecco> Quick question: my kernel hangs at "[    1.020572] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 179:2.
Aug 26 08:52:48 <Ecco> Well I'm not positive it hangs but thing is I don't get anything after that
Aug 26 09:01:13 <LetoThe2nd> if its network connected you can try pinging it.
Aug 26 09:01:29 <LetoThe2nd> after that, i'd check what init gets run, with which parameters.
Aug 26 09:07:33 <woglinde> looks like getty runs on the wrong console
Aug 26 09:07:51 <woglinde> or not at all
Aug 26 09:08:54 <Ecco> hmm
Aug 26 09:09:36 <Ecco> Ok, actually I'm trying to create the most minimal root filesystem
Aug 26 09:09:49 <Ecco> right now I have dash + libc installed
Aug 26 09:09:52 <Ecco> and that's it
Aug 26 09:09:58 <Ecco> I'm passing "init=/bin/sh"
Aug 26 09:10:03 <Ecco> and was expecting a shell prompt
Aug 26 09:14:31 <LetoThe2nd> initial /dev/console is there, or devtmpfs? and i'd rather use busybox' shell for getting started
Aug 26 09:16:34 <jpfau> I wonder if it's possible that /bin/sh is missing some libraries?
Aug 26 09:17:06 <LetoThe2nd> nothing is impossible
Aug 26 09:17:37 <jpfau> it's a bit hard to diagnose without so much as a shell
Aug 26 09:17:41 <LetoThe2nd> one could even boild down to a statically compiled busybox
Aug 26 09:18:02 <jpfau> Isn't that what a lot of "emergency" initrds have?
Aug 26 09:18:11 <LetoThe2nd> yep
Aug 26 09:18:42 <LetoThe2nd> together with devtmpfs that takes away most things that can fail
Aug 26 09:19:11 <jpfau> I know at one point when I was trying to install some drivers I built, my root fs stopped booting
Aug 26 09:19:34 <jpfau> the problem was that when I copied them over to my eMMC, it blew away the symlink that was /lib
Aug 26 09:19:41 <jpfau> and replaced it with a directory
Aug 26 09:19:47 <jpfau> which no longer contained ld-linux.so
Aug 26 09:19:51 <jpfau> thanks Arch
Aug 26 09:19:58 <jpfau> that was a fun one to debug
Aug 26 09:20:19 <LetoThe2nd> hey, arch users love to debug obscure misconfigurations and failures, don't they? ;)
Aug 26 09:20:42 <jpfau> I guess what I'm trying to say is that having a backup installation of something less prone to blowing up is a good thing for diagnostics
Aug 26 09:20:49 <jpfau> e.g. just on a microSD card
Aug 26 09:21:10 <jpfau> Leto, as an ex-Arch person, you are so extremely right that it hurts
Aug 26 09:21:41 <jpfau> or I should say, I'm an ex-Arch person and I can confirm what you're saying
Aug 26 09:22:14 <jpfau> ...I did get a PR merged for ALARM's package repo a few weeks ago though
Aug 26 09:22:22 <jpfau> so I'm not 100% free from Arch's grasp
Aug 26 09:22:27 <day> ive used A LOT of distris. I think i started with suse linux in 2000 or so. Up to this day, i had the least amount of problems with arch :X
Aug 26 09:22:57 <LetoThe2nd> for the protocol: my above saying can be used by about anybody to bash distribution X.
Aug 26 09:23:08 <jpfau> I used to love Arch until I realized how much time I put into fixing things that randomly broke with it
Aug 26 09:23:19 <day> granted it was the last linux distri i used, therfore i went into it with the biggest amount of knowledge
Aug 26 09:23:37 <LetoThe2nd> there's always somebody for whom things work just fine, and somebody for whom everything is continually broken
Aug 26 09:23:44 <day> true
Aug 26 09:23:53 <jpfau> the ones that you tend to have to fix less also give you a lot less leeway though
Aug 26 09:24:08 <jpfau> like Ubuntu will usually just work, but it has a lot of caveats that come with that
Aug 26 09:24:09 <LetoThe2nd> jpfau: i only use whatever give me most bruceleeway
Aug 26 09:24:28 <jpfau> Debian's pretty solid, but then you can't get new packages for two years
Aug 26 09:24:29 <jpfau> etc etc
Aug 26 09:24:31 <LetoThe2nd> and möst meäl
Aug 26 09:24:34 <LetoThe2nd> metäl
Aug 26 09:24:55 <day> i just love the rolling release system
Aug 26 09:25:00 <jpfau> you ned to start putting umlauts on letters that it doesn't make sense on :P
Aug 26 09:25:02 <jpfau> *need
Aug 26 09:25:09 <jpfau> day: yeah, it's pretty good, I agree
Aug 26 09:25:38 <jpfau> LetoThe2nd: for some reason saying "the most bruceleeway" reminded me of the movie The Last Dragon
Aug 26 09:25:50 <jpfau> presumably because the main character's name is a bad pun on Bruce Lee
Aug 26 09:26:03 <LetoThe2nd> bad movie. lacks ümläuts in the title.
Aug 26 09:26:33 <day> LetoThe2nd is obviously from east germany :p
Aug 26 09:26:38 <jpfau> it is a bad movie
Aug 26 09:26:41 <jpfau> but that's not why
Aug 26 09:26:51 <LetoThe2nd> day: read up on "röck döts" :)
Aug 26 09:27:13 <jpfau> So what did you think of Brütal Legend? :P
Aug 26 09:27:51 <LetoThe2nd> just spent some minutes playing it, but it was nice indeed.
Aug 26 09:28:07 <jpfau> I liked it up until it turned into a console RTS
Aug 26 09:28:14 <jpfau> which did not get along with me very well
Aug 26 09:29:27 <jpfau> ...anyway I should go to bed, I'm just goofing around but it's 2:30 AM
Aug 26 10:19:20 <anshuman> Hello Everybody
Aug 26 10:19:48 <anshuman> I am here to find ome experienced embedded linux developer on beagle bone
Aug 26 10:20:58 <f-zombie> anshuman, there is no such thing as a experienced embedded linux developer
Aug 26 10:22:01 <f-zombie> only hobbyists with a dream
Aug 26 10:25:46 <tbr> and the best answers you get if you ask your actual question / describe your problem
Aug 26 10:26:17 <LetoThe2nd> .. or name the hourly rate you are willig to pay :)
Aug 26 10:26:47 <vvu> +1
Aug 26 10:30:08 * tbr tries to resist the urge to use his rate-alias
Aug 26 10:31:10 <LetoThe2nd> tbr: r-rated?
Aug 26 10:31:19 <tbr> Hire me. My rate would be onehundredandfifty an hour. Plus VAT and expenses. Four hours minimum. Dollars for small problems, Euros for big problems. British Pounds for management problems.
Aug 26 10:31:21 <anshuman> i have a project in mind and i need a developer for that
Aug 26 10:32:41 <LetoThe2nd> tbr: grams of spice for space travelling problems?
Aug 26 10:33:04 <tbr> LetoThe2nd: yes, for it must floooow!
Aug 26 10:33:27 * LetoThe2nd flows to get some lünch now
Aug 26 10:33:56 <tbr> seems his cool project was not so ground breaking after all
Aug 26 10:34:01 <tbr> or we're just not worthy
Aug 26 10:45:13 <woglinde> or his internet connections broke down
Aug 26 10:46:39 <cityoflights2> hitlin37: http://pastebin.com/qsXUXayc
Aug 26 10:47:10 <cityoflights2> I used the deboucing example you gave to further optimize the code, and now it works , fine
Aug 26 11:10:53 <tawr> a bud of mine wanted to do some beagle development
Aug 26 11:11:05 <tawr> so i opened it up to the outside world and gave him an account
Aug 26 11:11:10 <tawr> so i can convert him from rpi lol
Aug 26 11:51:20 <hitlin37> cityoflights2: great
Aug 26 11:51:56 <cityoflights2> thing is that I don't really need to keep the last debounced value
Aug 26 11:52:25 <cityoflights2> it all relay on the timestamp the interupt was triggered
Aug 26 11:52:42 <hitlin37> by the way, now the code does look clear enough to follow
Aug 26 11:52:48 <cityoflights2> and keeping a counter for the bounces
Aug 26 11:53:01 <cityoflights2> I know
Aug 26 11:53:41 <cityoflights2> I was first aiming to solve the button debunce using t an interrupt
Aug 26 11:54:16 <cityoflights2> but then as I was coming to this channel to discuss it , I figured I need to address only the water flow sensor
Aug 26 11:54:30 <cityoflights2> I will rewrite this for the button later
Aug 26 11:54:47 <cityoflights2> then I will need to keep the button debounce state
Aug 26 12:44:25 <Ecco> Well
Aug 26 12:44:36 <Ecco> I built a real Debian rootfs with debootstrap
Aug 26 12:44:54 <Ecco> yet my kernel still hangs at "VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem)"
Aug 26 14:52:27 <nmschulte> La/quit
Aug 26 14:59:50 <simon_> is it true that analog pins on the bbb are limited to 1.8v? seems limited given many sensors are 3.3v-5v
Aug 26 15:02:29 <agmlego> simon_: It is true.
Aug 26 15:03:33 <agmlego> simon_: The ADC on the AM335x was originally intended as a resistive touchscreen decoder, so low voltages are OK. If you have a sensor that outputs higher, it is pretty easy to scale the voltage down, either with a high-precision resistor divider, or with an op-amp circuit.
Aug 26 15:03:34 <simon_> thanks 'agmlego'
Aug 26 16:22:49 <zenx>  /msg NickServ identify kayzee
Aug 26 16:23:32 <zenx> great
Aug 26 16:29:53 <tawr> lol zenx
Aug 26 16:29:58 <tawr> anyone manage to steal it
Aug 26 16:30:07 <zenx> :p
Aug 26 16:30:09 <tawr> If I had seen it earlier i would have ghosted for fun :P
Aug 26 16:30:22 <zenx> lol everyone was sleeping
Aug 26 16:52:27 <DennisGer> hello, I installed Debian Jessie on the microSD card and then I installed Xorg server. After typing startx, I get the message
Aug 26 16:52:33 <DennisGer> "screen not found"
Aug 26 16:52:48 <DennisGer> "no screens found"
Aug 26 22:31:07 <kiwichris> Just loaded the latest debian on to a black and edid is reporting "Mode    "1920x1080"" but the list modes reported by DRM is "1280x720". How can I get the resolution up 1920x1080 ?

Aug 27 02:54:00 <nmschulte> Hi all.  Does anyone recall the transition from when the defacto /boot setup was with the boot partition mounted at /boot/uboot to how it is now (with it at /boot)?
Aug 27 02:54:14 <rcn-ee> july 4th weekend
Aug 27 02:54:28 <rcn-ee> nmschulte, http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_partitioning_layout_2.0
Aug 27 02:55:55 <nmschulte> I'm trying to get newer kernels on a board I've had laying around with a setup from some time prior to that (july 4th weekend) (3.6.0-x1 kernel)
Aug 27 02:56:15 <nmschulte> I built a 3.17.0-rc1-arm7-x1 kernel with the tooling, and I tried to boot it, but it fails.
Aug 27 02:56:25 <nmschulte> I think it's because the file is too large for the allocation in uboot
Aug 27 02:56:36 <nmschulte> or rather, in the initial kernel memory map
Aug 27 02:56:46 <nmschulte> or w/e -- I don't know these details well (but I wish I did!)
Aug 27 02:57:04 <rcn-ee> pastebin.com your serial boot, sounds like your using the old loadaddress that overlap..
Aug 27 02:58:41 <nmschulte> I've mucked with things a bit, and I never captured a serial session
Aug 27 02:58:51 <nmschulte> but I'll paste what's available
Aug 27 02:59:28 <nmschulte> well, hah; whatever I was in the middle of is booting.  :)
