**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 28 02:59:59 2014 Sep 28 03:18:11 has anyone purchased Element14's clone? Sep 28 03:27:46 strukturalna: element14 have beaglebone black clones? Sep 28 03:53:53 mtetreault: they are not clones, they are beagles made by element14, so they are legit products Sep 28 04:26:30 <_av500_> all beagles aree clones Sep 28 05:50:03 attack of the element14 clones . .. Sep 28 06:14:06 <_av500_> dont clone me bro! Sep 28 06:48:15 Hi .. Sep 28 06:49:23 Guys ..I am trying to interface a GSM Module board which I had bought for using with the Arduino .. Sep 28 06:49:51 It is having a TTL connection ..at 5V Sep 28 06:50:21 can we using this module to give BBB internet connection using GPRS ? Sep 28 06:52:40 <_av500_> serial? Sep 28 06:53:38 av_500 ..Ys Sep 28 06:55:24 http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/GPRS-Shield-V20-p-1379.html Sep 28 06:56:33 This is the Module I am talking about ..I need not mount this on something ..This can be a separate unit and I will be powering this Module separately as well Sep 28 07:07:27 Any one ? Sep 28 07:38:53 Bv: you need to download the datasheet or the Chip. to get the logic level for the pins. if it indeed it 5v. you can't attach this is a beagle Sep 28 07:40:45 not directly anyhow Sep 28 07:40:58 level shifter . . . Sep 28 09:42:35 So u guys suggested to use a level shifter Sep 28 09:42:48 and then connect the module is it ? Sep 28 09:46:42 yes Sep 28 09:47:07 after reading both data sheets and chosing the correct configuration Sep 28 09:47:55 ok tbr.. Sep 28 10:06:49 <_av500_> you are not the first connect a UART based device to the BBB Sep 28 10:06:56 <_av500_> so google is your friend Sep 28 13:24:40 Hey, a while back I asked about a debian version without X and all the guff, does anyone still have a link to that? Sep 28 13:24:48 for the BBB rev C Sep 28 13:28:17 check RCN's website Sep 28 13:32:08 link? Sep 28 13:33:18 google: rcn bbb debian Sep 28 13:33:22 I bet that gets you there Sep 28 18:00:21 hi guys how are device tree overlays handled with the latest kernel? i have the 3.14 installed and i dont see the bone capemgr directory as I am used to Sep 28 19:11:24 <|PiP|> the SD card slot of my BBB is damaged/broken. Is there any alternative way to update the onboard emmc? Sep 28 19:11:52 <_av500_> you can boot from serial or USB Sep 28 19:11:55 <_av500_> vvu: ^^^^ Sep 28 19:11:57 you *might* be able to update it via network boot ... but you'd really have to know what you're doing Sep 28 19:12:20 <|PiP|> how does usb boot work? Sep 28 19:12:37 <_av500_> https://github.com/ungureanuvladvictor/BBBlfs Sep 28 19:12:40 <|PiP|> i can boot off a usb drive? Sep 28 19:12:41 <_av500_> |PiP|: see above Sep 28 19:12:43 <_av500_> no Sep 28 19:12:46 <_av500_> off a linux PC Sep 28 19:12:52 <_av500_> see the github Sep 28 19:12:58 <|PiP|> oh cool thx Sep 28 19:13:19 <_av500_> vvu make it for last years GSoC Sep 28 19:15:02 <|PiP|> thanks this is exactly what i need Sep 28 19:15:19 <|PiP|> is there an image that i can flash that will allow the BBB to boot off a usb key? Sep 28 19:18:03 <_av500_> no Sep 28 19:18:22 <_av500_> but that image you need to upload via a PC Sep 28 19:18:29 <_av500_> so you can always use that method Sep 28 19:18:41 <_av500_> there is no "USB key flasher" image Sep 28 19:19:02 <|PiP|> no, i don't mean flash via usb key Sep 28 19:19:30 <|PiP|> I mean flash an image, that then lets me boot off a USB key Sep 28 19:19:55 <|PiP|> i.e. i would flash the image i wanted to use on a USB key, since I can't flash to sdcard anymore Sep 28 19:20:13 <_av500_> no Sep 28 19:20:23 <_av500_> not that I know of Sep 28 19:20:28 <_av500_> you can make one of course Sep 28 19:20:30 <_av500_> its just SW Sep 28 19:38:05 has accessing the overlays loading a cape changed with the switch to a 3.14 kernel? Sep 28 19:38:40 I have built support for it and can verify that my kernel is compiled with the argus capemanager support but i do not have a bone.capemanager directory **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Sep 29 02:59:58 2014
