Oct 30 04:38:10 <m_billybob> lol "direct bonescript/node.js questions to #beagle-bonescript" eh ?
Oct 30 04:38:20 <m_billybob> well atleasrt chanserv is in there lol
Oct 30 04:44:57 <pavan> HI
Oct 30 04:45:29 <pavan> What are the images supported by  beagle bone black?
Oct 30 04:46:16 <pavan> As far as i know it supports, angstrom,debian,ti-sdk,archlinux...
Oct 30 04:46:32 <pavan> Any other images are also there?
Oct 30 04:46:44 <pavan> Which is the good images we can choose?
Oct 30 04:47:27 <pavan> Can any one pls help?
Oct 30 04:58:20 <_av500_> are these not enough?
Oct 30 04:58:25 <_av500_> stick with Debian for a start
Oct 30 05:16:52 <pavan> I am doing research on the all the sdk's..so that is the reason i am asking what are the sdk's available?
Oct 30 05:17:22 <pavan> I know Debian is good, tisdk is still better than debian
Oct 30 05:18:06 <tbr> TI SDK is crap
Oct 30 06:15:20 <LINGESH> I want to install opencv on my BBB revision C which came with Debian Linux... This requires cmake to be installed can anyone please give idea about how to install opencv after downloading it from github... i dont have direct internet connection to my BBB ... what i did was i tried to downloadzip file from github and copied it to BBB using pendrive... Can anyone please guide me from scratch??????
Oct 30 06:38:00 <tbr> and no exact steps were given
Oct 30 06:48:36 <adj> a big surprise
Oct 30 11:05:08 <Guest93069> hi..i've craneboad..in that uboot v2013.04 loaded..i want to add uImages via TFTP..what should i do?ping command fails
Oct 30 11:07:25 <av500> craneboard
Oct 30 11:07:27 <av500> nice
Oct 30 11:08:45 <Guest93069> So do you know how to solve it?
Oct 30 11:12:49 <KotH> av500: caneboard?
Oct 30 11:12:57 <KotH> av500: getofmylawnboard?
Oct 30 11:13:30 <av500> Guest93069: no
Oct 30 11:13:43 <av500> craneboard is a thing of the past
Oct 30 13:00:21 <Laurenceb> http://pastie.org/9683849
Oct 30 13:00:27 <Laurenceb> ^anyone want to try that?
Oct 30 13:00:33 <Laurenceb> it doesnt seem to be working for me
Oct 30 17:45:19 <cdj22> Hello, maybe my googlefu is simply lacking, but does the BeagleBone Black support hardware h264 *encoding*?
Oct 30 17:52:52 <m_billybob> cdj22, no.
Oct 30 17:53:48 <cdj22> ok, thanks.
Oct 30 17:53:57 <m_billybob> So not knowing how Gerald thinks, or his motives, the graphics on the BBB is mroe of an afterthought id think
Oct 30 17:54:36 <m_billybob> being that this is a pretty good "true" embedded device, high powered graphics arent really needed
Oct 30 17:54:54 <cdj22> I was thinking: usb cable tuner (MPEG2) -> BBB -> H264 internet stream
Oct 30 17:55:20 <cdj22> But it now makes sense why not...
Oct 30 17:55:23 <m_billybob> there are other newer boards around the same price range that would be bettter suited
Oct 30 17:55:37 <m_billybob> for that usecase
Oct 30 17:56:15 <cdj22> Thanks a lot, I first starting thinking about this idea ~a year ago
Oct 30 17:56:30 <cdj22> BBB seemed much more capable than the alternatives
Oct 30 17:56:48 <m_billybob> cdj22, not for hardware video decode / encode
Oct 30 17:57:04 <m_billybob> maybe you can get exernal hardware with that capability ?
Oct 30 17:57:21 <m_billybob> not sure if thats worth thinking about ot not.
Oct 30 17:57:27 <cdj22> I will search for some of the newer boards...and also consider external hardware
Oct 30 17:58:10 <cdj22> Do you have any suggestions for other boards/external hardware for this usecase? (I will definitely do some research myself)
Oct 30 17:58:50 <cdj22> (I also realize I'll likely need to code against some GPU's api)
Oct 30 17:59:20 <m_billybob> read the PM i sent, i wont name othe boards in this channel but gave you one thatI've been noticing lately
Oct 30 18:01:53 <m_billybob> I think the beaglebone black still has the software maturity advantage over the new boards on the market. At least that one
Oct 30 18:03:20 <cdj22> Yeah, I figured as much
Oct 30 18:04:21 <cdj22> Honestly, because of BBB nice software situation, I naively made the hardware video assumption (<-- yeah, really illogical)
Oct 30 18:06:03 <m_billybob> wishful thinking and undertandable
Oct 30 18:28:27 <Laurenceb> so, is there any chance of capemanager coming to the newer kernels?
Oct 30 18:52:58 <m_billybob> Laurenceb I think pin muxing will be takign a differnt route. seems that dahm whats it
Oct 30 18:53:22 * m_billybob is drawing a blank
Oct 30 18:54:03 <m_billybob> Charles' Generic pin muxing tool forget the name offhand. but anyhow its already included in the repo's
Oct 30 18:55:10 <m_billybob> basically they're custom generic overlays + tools  that allow one to pin-mux on the fly
Oct 30 18:57:22 <Tick> hi
Oct 30 19:00:59 <hitlin37> hi
Oct 30 19:01:02 <hitlin37> Tick:
Oct 30 19:05:05 <ergo_proxy> hello
Oct 30 19:05:33 <Tick> I want to read/write on a EEPROM via SPI, which is the easiest solution ? Because I saw that I can use spidev.c or device tree (and mount the eeprom)
Oct 30 19:08:10 <ergo_proxy> is anyone using beagleboard xm with ubuntu 14.04.1 ? i cant access the gpio anymore, i was using the gpio157 with ubuntu 12.0
Oct 30 19:08:53 <jkridner> ergo_proxy: it only matters what kernel you are using. it isn't an ubuntu thing
Oct 30 19:09:09 <jkridner> at least it is highly unlikely to be.
Oct 30 19:11:14 <ergo_proxy> i have this version 3.16.0-armv7-x4
Oct 30 19:21:51 <Laurenceb> interesting
Oct 30 19:22:08 <Laurenceb> i was under the impression everything was broken past 3.8.13
Oct 30 19:22:27 <Laurenceb> im trying to use BBIO python lib
Oct 30 19:28:45 <ergo_proxy> i updated to kernel version: 3.17.1-armv7-x3
Oct 30 19:30:02 <ergo_proxy> still the same problem,  echo high > /sys/class/gpio157/direction isnt setting the pin to high :/
Oct 30 19:46:57 <mistawright> has anyone used the motocape for the beaglebone black yet?
Oct 30 19:48:52 <Laurenceb> hmm
Oct 30 19:49:06 <Laurenceb> direction is input/output
Oct 30 19:49:20 <Laurenceb> but im not sure it will work anyway
Oct 30 19:55:10 <Tick> Laurenceb, You must use Device tree overlay
Oct 30 19:55:58 <Laurenceb> is there an example for using the ADC?
Oct 30 20:08:09 <ergo_proxy> guys any help about the gpio thing ? what should i do
Oct 30 20:08:53 <ergo_proxy> i updated the kernel but still no luck
Oct 30 21:00:46 <abferm> Can I talk to a 5V device over uart1 on the bbb?
Oct 30 21:12:20 <mashiara> abferm: AFAIK the inputs are not 5V tolerant, so if you only send from BBB it should work
Oct 30 21:12:49 <mashiara> but to receive to BBB you need a level shifter
Oct 30 21:14:06 <jacekowski> just a simple resistor divider will work
Oct 30 21:14:26 <abferm> okay, I think we are going to use a mosfet.
Oct 31 01:22:18 <puppy1> My BBB does not connect to my computer through the USB client port.
Oct 31 01:23:05 <puppy1> It's supposed to show up as a mass storage device if I'm not mistaken.
Oct 31 01:23:17 <puppy1> I get nothing.
Oct 31 01:23:27 <veremit> it should appear as several devices or a composite device. but it depends on your drivers
Oct 31 01:23:31 <veremit> what operating system are you using?
Oct 31 01:23:44 <puppy1> I've tried it under Win7 and Mint 16
Oct 31 01:23:59 <puppy1> I'm thinking I have a bad board
Oct 31 01:24:16 <veremit> does it work with ethernet via the RJ45 conector?
Oct 31 01:24:31 <veremit> usb client is known to be quirky
Oct 31 01:24:42 <puppy1> I don't see anything over Ethernet either
Oct 31 01:24:55 <veremit> do the LEDs flash?
Oct 31 01:24:55 <puppy1> router doesn't give it an IP
Oct 31 01:25:01 <puppy1> LEDs DO flash
Oct 31 01:25:17 <puppy1> I can connect it to my TV and I see it boot to a desktop
Oct 31 01:26:20 <puppy1> It doesn't seem to try and enumerate at all
Oct 31 01:26:26 <veremit> hmm on what image?
Oct 31 01:26:44 <puppy1> If there are no drivers it usually shows up under the device manager with a yellow exclamation mark.
Oct 31 01:26:46 <veremit> I cannot imagine they'd ship a dud board
Oct 31 01:27:03 <puppy1> depends on how thoroughly they check them
Oct 31 01:27:25 <puppy1> a lot of transistors to test there.
Oct 31 01:27:27 <veremit> I think CirCo have quite a decent routine
Oct 31 01:27:36 <veremit> you can see a video on their site
Oct 31 01:27:52 <veremit> covers manufacture to test :)
Oct 31 01:28:23 <puppy1> I haven't tried to re-flash it
Oct 31 01:28:35 <puppy1> just got it on Tuesday
Oct 31 01:28:46 <puppy1> from e14
Oct 31 01:29:31 <puppy1> tried powering up and connecting using the 5V power jack as well using my power supply
Oct 31 01:29:49 <puppy1> lights come on just like they do with USB...
Oct 31 01:30:46 <puppy1> on Mint 'lsusb' doesn't show any changes when I plug it in
Oct 31 01:31:27 <puppy1> not sure how much more I can do...
Oct 31 01:32:37 <veremit> you need to google getting the gadgrt drivers in liinux
Oct 31 01:32:38 <puppy1> I would expect my router to issue it an IP also
Oct 31 01:32:47 <veremit> yes it should
Oct 31 01:34:47 <puppy1> is DHCP the default for the BBB?
Oct 31 01:37:42 <veremit> yes for ethernet
Oct 31 01:38:09 <veremit> usb gadget ethernet comes up on 192.168.7.2 iirc
Oct 31 01:40:21 <puppy1> Would it make sense that the usb gadget ethernet would work while the mass storage would now?
Oct 31 01:41:33 <puppy1> I've installed the drivers also.
Oct 31 01:41:39 <veremit> I'm not 100% sure but there could be a trio .. usb mass storage, serial and ethernet
Oct 31 01:43:50 <puppy1> all three "devices" should show up?
Oct 31 01:43:59 <veremit> I believe so
Oct 31 01:45:01 <puppy1> And the serial portion.  It isn't and FTDI clone is it?
Oct 31 01:45:31 <veremit> its embedded in the usb client in the processor
Oct 31 01:46:49 <puppy1> just wondering if it is brickable by the FTDI driver
Oct 31 01:47:27 <veremit> no it has no ftdi or other usb converter involved anywhere
Oct 31 01:48:19 <puppy1> k
Oct 31 01:49:59 <puppy1> that rules that out
Oct 31 01:50:20 <veremit> heh
Oct 31 01:51:37 <puppy1> With no drivers at all it should at least load as a mass storage device, correct?
Oct 31 02:00:53 <veremit> no .. lol
Oct 31 02:00:58 <veremit> its still a usb device :)
Oct 31 02:01:07 <veremit> they're all 'emulated' devices
Oct 31 02:01:16 <veremit> none are physical
Oct 31 02:01:28 <puppy1> hmmm
Oct 31 02:03:55 <puppy1> maybe I'll try the 32 bit drivers....
Oct 31 02:04:57 <puppy1> no go, it says 64 only
Oct 31 02:08:32 <puppy1> 64 bit installer says everything is good
Oct 31 02:08:39 <puppy1> plugged in...
Oct 31 02:08:47 <puppy1> blue lights flashing....
Oct 31 02:09:12 <puppy1> no new devices showing up...
Oct 31 02:19:01 <veremit> there should be a purge process for windows somewhere .. I don't remember where since I never use windows for development
Oct 31 02:23:46 <jimmyhoughjr> anyone here know much about the beagle bone black hw?
Oct 31 02:24:23 <puppy1> I guess I'll just reboot....
Oct 31 02:24:41 <jimmyhoughjr> I've read some chatter that it has an RTC and I wonder if it is a hardware RTC or if it is simply a software clock
Oct 31 02:26:04 <veremit> hardware rtc embedded in the processor .. but there is no backup battery /etc
Oct 31 02:26:30 <jimmyhoughjr> ok but it is more than just say counting the cpu ticks?
Oct 31 02:26:47 <jimmyhoughjr> thanks btw
Oct 31 02:26:49 <veremit> its an rtc . check the TI technical reference manual
Oct 31 02:27:08 <jimmyhoughjr> will do
Oct 31 02:27:27 <jimmyhoughjr> I recently took the plunge to bbb for a project over using an arudino and pi
Oct 31 02:27:37 <veremit> shuold be linked on the beagleboard.org site
Oct 31 02:28:24 <jimmyhoughjr> im also curious about code completion in cloud9, it doesnt seem to have any lol
Oct 31 02:29:53 <jimmyhoughjr> i don't really know much javascript so i think it would help
Oct 31 02:29:58 <veremit> ok I gotta bale and sleep .. nite folks I-)
Oct 31 02:33:24 <jimmyhoughjr> night
Oct 31 02:34:26 <jimmyhoughjr> i wonder how its RTC cmopares with a DS3231
Oct 31 02:48:42 <jimmyhoughjr> im debating whether to use js or ruby for my bone project, any opinions?
