**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 05 03:00:01 2014 Oct 05 03:20:07 so Oct 05 03:20:17 why doesnt debian have an overlay for BB-UART3 Oct 05 03:20:20 but it has one for all the others :/ Oct 05 09:46:19 hello guys i just had a few questions bbb does xbmc work without any problem like audio video sync issues and full graphics acceleration and can i make a nas using this device Oct 05 09:47:51 bbb does no hw video decoding Oct 05 10:01:10 <_av500_> adem: no Oct 05 10:01:21 adem: the BBB is not suited for use as a media center Oct 05 10:01:57 also since it only has USB 2.0, pretty sure you can't make a very good NAS with it either Oct 05 10:01:59 adem, in my opinion BBB is for hardware hackers, since it fully open-design and has many GPIO, PRU etc... afaik it's not suited for server or media center Oct 05 10:03:04 I personally use a CuBox-i for my media center, but that's just me Oct 05 10:03:45 it has an eSATA port on it too but I've never done anything with it; I have a separate machine for my NAS stuff Oct 05 10:03:46 Cubieboard has sata connector so it's possible use it for NAS, for media center I would use RPi or some Android device with nice GPU Oct 05 10:04:11 RPi really isn't powerful enough, despite what people tend to say Oct 05 10:04:16 at least, it wasn't when I tried it Oct 05 10:04:53 jpfau, no it's not, its just gpu botting cpu ;) Oct 05 10:04:56 booting Oct 05 10:06:04 I really like my CuBox-i but it's quite a bit more expensive than a BBB Oct 05 10:06:37 but you got a few more cores ;) Oct 05 10:06:50 this is true, I have the quad core model Oct 05 10:07:40 you could probably get by with the dual core model though Oct 05 10:08:07 I also have i.MX6 Quad on hdmi stick android device Oct 05 10:09:15 the i.MX6 is a really nice chipset; good Linux support from Freescale too Oct 05 10:10:04 I just wish my AMLogic android gaming thing had as good support Oct 05 10:15:33 jpfau, mine costed $80 https://www.miniand.com/products/GK802%20Android%20Mini%20PC Oct 05 10:15:56 jpfau, 1GB Ram and quad core i.MX6 Oct 05 10:16:08 not bad Oct 05 10:16:34 out of stock though Oct 05 10:16:50 I almost accidentally convinced a friend to buy a CuBox-i today Oct 05 10:18:44 jpfau, how expensive is it? Oct 05 10:18:54 jpfau, if he badly needs sata, then maybe worth a price Oct 05 10:20:47 mkad: he didn't need it, which is why he didn't end up buying it Oct 05 10:21:01 I was just saying "yeah check out this neat little box I use for xbmc" Oct 05 13:48:03 sorry guys had had to go as soon as i posted my Question and thanks for your awnser Oct 05 16:52:25 I've loaded the debian image on the emmc card and set it to boot directly from the emmc (without the microsd card). Also, I do not have a GUI for the debian OS. Could you suggest the steps if in this case I want to expand the filesystem onto the microsd card? I'm stuck as it is running out of space after OpenCV installation on the board.

Oct 05 17:40:36 Hi, I’ve followed http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_Enable_SPIDEV#SPI0 and for some reason I get spidev1.0 to /dev Oct 05 17:41:21 there is another issue with being unable to load the driver from uEnv.txt but that is likely unrelated Oct 05 18:12:05 https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/blob/master/overlays/ADAFRUIT-SPI0-00A0.dts also gives spidev1.0 and spidev1.1 Oct 05 18:12:13 which is weird... Oct 05 18:59:01 checked with a scope, the spidev1.0 is actually spi0 Oct 05 21:21:43 Hey all, just starting out with the beaglebone rev c and I have a quick hardware question. I've been trying to connect all sorts of things (mouse, jump drive, keyboard) to the USB Type A port with no luck. Is it a requirement to have an external power supply for that port to even be active? Oct 05 21:22:10 The docs say that it still should run at around 100mA and be operational on usb power, but i'm not seeing it Oct 05 21:22:17 Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide Oct 05 22:30:39 <_av500_> yes, it should work Oct 05 23:10:05 _av500_: So a standard USB flash drive should work without having an external power supply? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 06 02:59:59 2014
