**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 15 03:00:00 2014 Oct 15 04:02:32 i see an "iface usb0" entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the usb/rndis, but i don't otherwise see how this interface is configured as being over usb/rndis. Oct 15 04:03:43 any clues on how this magic happens? Oct 15 04:04:42 someone said there's a script /opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh, but there is no such script in my os. Oct 15 04:04:49 debian 3.8.13-bone64 Oct 15 05:10:01 any clues on how this magic happens? Oct 15 05:16:36 Hello there... I'm using arm-linux-gnueabi- tool for displaying a character on my BBB. I'm loading it to the location 0x8020000 Oct 15 05:16:55 I load it using loady command Oct 15 05:17:23 But as I type go 0x8020000 .. its giving adata abort log Oct 15 05:17:50 ## Starting application at 0x80200000 ... data abort MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses Oct 15 05:18:08 This is the exact error i'm getting Oct 15 05:18:17 How to overcome it Oct 15 07:01:18 hi Oct 15 07:01:30 i need some help with beagleboard black Oct 15 07:02:17 just ask the question Oct 15 07:04:00 I received my beagleboard black .. but unfortunately i can't open start.htm file - it says no contents.. i read some forum.. downloaded the latest image file . Oct 15 07:04:28 when i tried to write image file to the beagleboard black .. it says.. i dont have enough memory to write Oct 15 07:04:34 how to fix this? Oct 15 07:06:20 I tried to write the following image file Debian: (BeagleBone Black - 2GB eMMC) 2014-05-14 Oct 15 07:08:32 what are you using to write the image file and to where (sd card ?) Oct 15 07:08:55 what operating system, what program to write the image etc... Oct 15 07:11:07 directly to the beagleboard black thru USB .. windows 7 os.. to write image.. i use win32 disk imager Oct 15 07:11:49 I don’t think that is going to work, the eMMC flasher image is meant to be first written to a SD card Oct 15 07:12:50 ok i should use the win32 disk imager to write to SD card.. .. Oct 15 07:12:55 yes Oct 15 07:13:16 then .. how to flash it to beagleboard black ? Oct 15 07:13:23 from sd card? Oct 15 07:13:55 the flasher image will then automatically flash the eMMC and when done you can remove the SD card and boot from eMMC Oct 15 07:14:31 i am not following here.. Oct 15 07:14:55 first i put a SD card into my computer.. and then use win32 to write image file to SD card Oct 15 07:15:37 how the SD card communicates with beagleboard black? Oct 15 07:17:29 then you put the SD to your BBB, and boot with with the button near the sd card pressed Oct 15 07:17:38 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu#eMMC:_BeagleBone_Black has some details on the process Oct 15 07:17:49 even if you prefer debian Oct 15 07:18:59 thanks.. let me try this out Oct 15 07:20:49 unfortunately i dont have micro sd card.. Oct 15 07:21:22 i will try it out tomorrow.. thanks a lot for your help Oct 15 07:22:11 there is also a way to boot BBB over USB, I have not tried it (and it probably requires a linux computer): https://github.com/ungureanuvladvictor/bbblfs Oct 15 07:40:11 tomba: does this seeem sane to you: http://pastebin.com/GVnXSQ2T ? Oct 15 08:13:45 tasslehoff: I don't know, I have not used alloc_pages for dma allocs. I'd guess that it doesn't handle caching changes properly, so the data you write with cpu may not be visible to the DSS Oct 15 08:14:16 tasslehoff: I just tried ptr = dma_alloc_coherent(&pdev->dev, 4096, &handle, GFP_KERNEL); on mainline kernel, and it works fine for me. Oct 15 08:18:55 tomba: not so on 2.6.39@omap3. I called it from omap_dispchw_probe. Oct 15 08:23:01 tomba: I think theory is right. LOADMODE in DISPC_CONFIG goes from 0 to 1 when I enable gamma. The H/W should reset it to zero after loading the table, but that never happens Oct 15 08:23:14 *your* theory Oct 15 08:32:41 tomba: ooh. I have an error message in dmesg that I did not notice. "coherent DMA mask is unset" :) Oct 15 08:55:13 and after setting that mask, alloc works. Oct 15 10:27:09 i see an "iface usb0" entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the usb/rndis, but i don't otherwise see how this interface is configured as being over usb/rndis. Oct 15 10:27:15 any clues on how this magic happens? Oct 15 10:53:28 Anyone here ever worked with Palette/Gamma table on 3530? I have a hard time kicking it into gear. Oct 15 11:08:09 tasslehoff: over i2c? Oct 15 11:10:07 yates: don't think so. I'm just configuring the DISPC registers to the best of my knowledge. Oct 15 12:00:42 <_av500_> tasslehoff: you are the first Oct 15 12:10:52 _av500_: certainly feels that way :) Oct 15 12:14:11 another Q. is it possible to make the gfx or vid1 overlays semi-transparent? Oct 15 12:14:32 * tasslehoff feels this channel should focus more on omap3 again, at least until his stuff works Oct 15 12:22:42 hum. maybe I can just use alpha blending instead of gamma. that would be a bit easier :) Oct 15 12:35:05 <_av500_> tasslehoff: yes you can do alpha blending Oct 15 12:35:10 <_av500_> ther is global and per pixel Oct 15 12:35:28 <_av500_> see the trm what can be blended againt what Oct 15 12:35:44 <_av500_> but you can blend GFX for sure over VID Oct 15 12:49:04 Hi all; I'm not getting any USB activity on my USB port; the beaglebone does power on though Oct 15 12:49:09 (no device or anything showing up) Oct 15 12:49:12 am I doing something wrong? Oct 15 12:50:01 oh, hmm. looks like the cable provided was bad? Oct 15 13:45:13 _av500_: blending only gfx and playing with color is maybe good enough for my purposes. Oct 15 13:45:36 would have been nice to be able to dim light color more than dark ones though Oct 15 13:46:37 <_av500_> tasslehoff: where are you stuck now for gamma table? Oct 15 13:48:21 _av500_: when I enable gamma my image get all green-blue and distorted. it does not seem to use the gammatable I have tried to feed it. Oct 15 13:49:07 <_av500_> ic Oct 15 16:28:44 Hello, I am having problems with my Ethernet port on the Beagle Bone Black Rev C. running Angstrom Distro. 3.18.13. I am trying to connect , via Ethernet, to a WhizFi630 LAN Port. The Ethernet port on the BBB sometimes doesn't turn on or simply flashes both the green and orange lights every few seconds. The Whizfi detects a LAN port being used but the BBB is assigned no IP Address. What do those two flashing lights mean? Oct 15 16:32:36 Rob1991, It's probably 3.8.13 Oct 15 16:34:09 Fairly sure green one is "activity" and yellow one is "100 Mbps" Oct 15 16:34:44 So both going off and on again probably mean ethernet re-negotiation Oct 15 16:35:17 Thank You, but I still can't get an IP Address, is there a way to reset or re-initialize the Ethernet Port after Bootup? Oct 15 16:35:23 Or maybe bad cable connection, so link goes on/off like that Oct 15 16:35:54 Yeah, that is what I am thinking, there a way to reset the connection from BBB without physically disconnecting the link? Oct 15 16:36:05 And another option is linux setting interface state to "DOWN", I think (e.g. "ip link set eth0 down") Oct 15 16:36:20 ethtool -r Oct 15 16:36:39 "ethtool" should be useful for checking ethernet-level stuff in general Oct 15 16:37:22 says "ethtool" is not a command found, is that part of the standard Angstrom distro? Oct 15 16:37:31 I'd also check "ip monitor" on bbb to see if link might go up/down due to e.g. some NetworkManager flapping Oct 15 16:37:56 Maybe not part of standard, in which case there's gotta be a package for it Oct 15 16:39:18 " Deleted 2: eth0 inet6 fe80::1eba:8cff:fe98:4285/64 scope link tentative valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever " is the only thing I am getting out of Eth0 through ip monitor Oct 15 16:40:00 2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN Followed by that Oct 15 16:41:01 Oh, actually, "NO-CARRIER" says that there's just no physical link, I think Oct 15 16:42:20 Huh, guess Ethernet is somehow not detecting the link Oct 15 16:42:37 Though maybe ethtool can still say something about failed negotiation Oct 15 16:42:48 (not sure if it'd be NO-CARRIER in that case) Oct 15 16:43:12 Yeah, let me try to download that package and see what happens Oct 15 16:52:30 I wonder what can cause "Deleted 2: eth0 ..." in "ip monitor", fairly sure any kind of re-negotiation shouldn't remove interface Oct 15 16:52:50 Maybe something doing rmmod && modprobe for eth0 driver Oct 15 16:53:22 Or maybe it just means something different there Oct 15 17:06:12 Hi folks, what's the current status on the best way to emulate a beagleboard/beaglebone? Oct 15 17:06:56 Buy one and use it. Oct 15 17:06:59 emulate how ? Oct 15 17:07:42 emulate why? Oct 15 17:08:26 qemu can emulate the processor, I doubt there is any way to emulate the hardware peripherals (I2C, SPI, PWM, etc) Oct 15 17:09:10 Sure there is. YOu just have to write all those drivers and provide the dummies for whatever is connected to them. Oct 15 17:10:21 agmlego: yes i don't have one yet and i'd like to start on software devel :) Oct 15 17:10:21 “it’s just a small matter of software" Oct 15 17:10:45 mashiara: It is always just a small matter of software. Oct 15 17:10:48 supposedly the qemu-linaro build has -m beagle and -m beaglexm which is enough to boot Linux with a serial console but I'm unsure how faithful that is Oct 15 17:10:56 -M* Oct 15 17:11:06 lucky: Will you be programming in ARM assembly? Oct 15 17:11:32 agmlego: mostly C but bare metal, so yes Oct 15 17:11:44 lucky: Are you writing anything that needs to be cycle-precise? Oct 15 17:12:04 lucky: Will you be using hardware peripherals? Oct 15 17:12:36 not cycle precise, and yes hardware but initially just serial and then probably mmc Oct 15 17:12:45 Then buy one and wait. Oct 15 17:12:54 THe best emulator is the device itself. Oct 15 17:14:31 aw :( oh well, just a few months then Oct 15 17:14:35 thanks for the answers though :) Oct 15 17:16:37 Why so long? Oct 15 17:17:55 agmlego: method of payment + shipping + customs = hopefully by the new year, heh Oct 15 17:44:37 if someone now asking for xenomai I will point him to https://github.com/rtmux/rtmux Oct 15 17:44:40 instead Oct 15 17:51:43 what is type of flash disk goes into the beagle bone? Oct 15 17:51:59 microsd Oct 15 18:16:39 what i thought i read a bit more found out the storage on the device is from a solderoned on memory. Oct 15 18:16:51 One question: Does anyone have used kdevelop as a IDE tool for the beaglebone? Oct 15 18:17:52 actually how would one develope for the device ... devel on second faster machine then debug on the bgl Oct 15 18:18:36 similar to what i have done on say the launchpad Oct 15 18:25:43 How can I put it, I am a newbie, I have a BBW and it is run Debian. What I have seen is that there are some tutorials that use eclipse as a IDE tool, however, I want to use kdevelop. Unfortunately, I have not found anything on the net; henceforth, I have to ask: Have anyone been used kdevelop with the beagle bone? I will appreciate if you provide helpful information. Oct 15 18:26:32 <_av500_> there is nothing special Oct 15 18:26:41 <_av500_> you just need to point kdevelop to use your toolchain Oct 15 18:26:51 <_av500_> its a question to the kdevelop people more than to us Oct 15 18:27:28 <_av500_> the tutorials for eclipse should cover the same areas thar are needed for kdev Oct 15 18:27:43 <_av500_> like telling it where to look for header files and libs and toolchains Oct 15 18:29:13 _av500_, I appreciate your time, I will read them. Sorry for asking such basic question but I do not know what is a toolchain Oct 15 18:29:28 <_av500_> the compiler Oct 15 18:29:31 <_av500_> linker Oct 15 18:29:36 <_av500_> std lib Oct 15 18:29:37 <_av500_> etc Oct 15 18:29:54 <_av500_> also for basics, there is google Oct 15 18:30:23 _av500_, Thank you again, sorry to disturb you Oct 15 18:31:35 <_av500_> np Oct 15 20:02:15 im having trouble installing java to my beagleboard because there isn't enough space. once i boot the image to the board, the available memory is reduced to 95.7MB. please offer a solution Oct 15 20:02:57 <_av500_> what memory? Oct 15 20:03:02 <_av500_> on the sd card? Oct 15 20:03:04 <_av500_> or RAM? Oct 15 20:03:12 or eMMC if Black Oct 15 20:03:27 on the board, so it must be eMMC Oct 15 20:03:32 it is the black Oct 15 20:03:36 on the eMMC of the 2gb version this happens Oct 15 20:03:39 <_av500_> yes Oct 15 20:03:46 <_av500_> ignore the eMMC and just use an sd card Oct 15 20:04:24 ive tried booting the image with a 2gb card inside and it reduced the card to 95.7MB as well Oct 15 20:04:36 <_av500_> well, 2GB is 2GB Oct 15 20:04:39 yes because the eMMC is also 2gb :) Oct 15 20:04:40 i had to reformat it Oct 15 20:05:03 any solution you can offer Oct 15 20:05:03 ? Oct 15 20:05:50 yanik: http://bit.ly/1w3vrZF Oct 15 20:07:42 vvu: my mistake it was a 4gb sd Oct 15 20:07:47 just checked again Oct 15 20:08:03 after you flash it just resize it and that is all Oct 15 20:08:14 <_av500_> there is no flash Oct 15 20:08:16 <_av500_> if you run from SD Oct 15 20:10:43 sorry for the ignorance, not sure what that means exactly Oct 15 20:10:54 to flash the sd and resize it Oct 15 20:11:20 <_av500_> get an image that runs from SD, so not a "flasher" image Oct 15 20:11:24 <_av500_> write it to the sd card Oct 15 20:11:35 <_av500_> then resize it to use the full sd size Oct 15 20:11:37 <_av500_> boot Oct 15 20:11:38 <_av500_> enjoy Oct 15 20:12:30 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD Oct 15 20:12:47 can also be done on the BB Oct 15 20:13:45 also http://bit.ly/ZZMUrh Oct 15 20:13:50 ok thank you, will give that a try now Oct 16 00:53:19 Hello, I'm trying to make my customized eMMc image for bbb, i've tried several ways, using dd, rsync, tar, etc when booting through a sd card, but none worked. I was wondering which is the best way or another that I`vent tried yet, and if maybe I could mount the debian image, modify it, and use it to flash the emmc with my customizations, is it possible? Thanks **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 16 03:00:00 2014
