**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 12 02:59:59 2014 Dec 12 05:17:36 Does anyone have experience with memory allocation on the PRUs? I thought I had this figured out but now I'm baffled. I' Dec 12 05:18:34 m trying to write data to the output pins using one of the examples, but I'm having issues with how data is moved into the PRU memory blocks Dec 12 06:53:03 I jsut got my beaglebone black. I want to flash the latest ubuntu available onto it -- is this the right file to download? https://rcn-ee.net/deb/flasher/trusty/BBB-eMMC-flasher-ubuntu-14.04.1-console-armhf-2014-10-29-2gb.img.xz Dec 12 06:54:07 http://www.armhf.com/boards/beaglebone-black/ seems to indicate a 14.10 version, but the download links are to 14.04 so I'm assuming this is a typo. Dec 12 06:58:14 pkh: if there are no strong reasons for ubuntu, you should better start off with debian,a s it sees considerable more love and testing. Dec 12 06:58:52 main reason for ubuntu is that everything I've done in years has been on that and I thought it would mean starting off running rather than learning a new environment as well. Dec 12 06:59:30 but I'll take your advice. is the official debian (7.5-2014-05-14-2gb) the latest available? Dec 12 07:00:15 pkh: see http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Releases Dec 12 07:00:31 cheers Dec 12 07:00:35 pkh: there's the official releases, and the "betas", or how you want to call them Dec 12 07:23:24 grabbing the latest one now. thanks. Dec 12 07:24:33 pkh: go with debian, it's linux like Ubuntu is Dec 12 07:48:45 Need help to use Beaglebone as mass storage device Dec 12 07:50:38 explain Dec 12 07:53:36 I want my beaglebone to use as USB mass storage device using otg. There is already support for mass storage using g_multi module.and device appears properly.But copying data from beaglebone to host pc is not working. Need help Dec 12 07:54:32 explain "not working" Dec 12 07:55:57 Can not copy data from beaglebone to host pc. changes from beaglebone not appear to pc. Dec 12 07:56:37 I nned to reload driver to show that copied data to host pc.thats what i dont want. Dec 12 07:56:47 *need Dec 12 07:57:29 kk_: you cannot change the data while the drive is mounted on the PC Dec 12 07:57:32 its either or Dec 12 07:57:44 you change data on BBB, then you unmount on BBB and connect to PC Dec 12 07:57:55 then you read/change data on the PC Dec 12 07:58:01 then unmount and mount on BBB Dec 12 07:58:17 yes Dec 12 07:58:20 exactly Dec 12 07:58:40 good, we agree Dec 12 07:58:41 next! Dec 12 08:00:34 do we have another case of "I bet I can rig some network storage adapter usb thingy with mass storage"? Dec 12 08:00:51 not hte point Dec 12 08:00:52 the* Dec 12 08:01:01 kk_: so what exactly did you do? Dec 12 08:03:52 i enabled mass storage driver using modprobe g_multi file=diskfile ,diskfile is mounted atsome /mnt mountpoint. when driver is loaded diskfile data which is at mnt is appearing on pc. Now i copy anothe file to /mnt than it is not showing on pc. to show that change i need to reload driver. Dec 12 08:05:04 Is there any way that i dont need to reload driver and changes shown on disk of pc Dec 12 08:06:37 kk_: you are doing it wrong Dec 12 08:06:55 when you do modprobe g_multi file=diskfile, diskfile MUST NOT be mounted on the BBB Dec 12 08:07:11 you cannot have the file mounted on PC and BBB at the same time Dec 12 08:07:39 both PC and BBB cache the data Dec 12 08:07:48 so i have to unmount disk first Dec 12 08:07:52 yes Dec 12 08:08:04 that also flushes all data that might be cached in memoty Dec 12 08:08:06 memory* Dec 12 08:08:13 same on PC side Dec 12 08:08:23 you have to do the "remove safely" foo Dec 12 08:08:36 than what if i want to send data from beaglebone Dec 12 08:08:37 there is no concurrent access for block devices Dec 12 08:09:01 kk_: use usb networking? Dec 12 08:09:06 kk_: then you cannot use mass storage Dec 12 08:09:28 kk_: your PC could export a drive as SMB Dec 12 08:09:32 and you could mount that Dec 12 08:09:41 or the other way round Dec 12 08:10:25 SMB can make difference? Dec 12 08:10:51 ? Dec 12 08:11:22 as i want that changes on BBB side should appear on PC Dec 12 08:11:28 as said Dec 12 08:11:34 PC exports a drive/folder Dec 12 08:11:39 BBB mounts that Dec 12 08:11:42 over network Dec 12 08:11:45 and changes will appear Dec 12 08:11:48 yes, over network Dec 12 08:12:14 https://hifiduino.wordpress.com/2014/03/21/beaglebone-black-accessing-network-share/ Dec 12 08:12:17 something like thus Dec 12 08:12:19 this Dec 12 08:14:02 Let me try it once. to export it as samba Dec 12 08:15:26 And any idea about how to use MTP on beaglebone Dec 12 08:15:40 dont Dec 12 08:16:02 you mean MTP host or device? Dec 12 08:16:24 samba is much more reliable Dec 12 08:16:32 MTP does not export a file system per se Dec 12 08:17:07 'same concept.sending data from bbb to pc and pc to bbb Dec 12 08:17:34 you would need to have the BBB be an MTP client Dec 12 08:17:38 it can be done Dec 12 08:17:46 but I am not aware that it works out of the box Dec 12 08:17:53 use SMB Dec 12 08:18:18 if its just to retrieve files, it can be also scp Dec 12 08:18:39 you run e.g. putty on the PC and log into the BBB via ssh Dec 12 08:18:51 er not putty Dec 12 08:19:05 winscp Dec 12 08:19:41 works like norton commander Dec 12 08:19:55 nbrosnahan: stop this Dec 12 08:21:26 No i need to continuously monitor things. Dec 12 08:21:32 samba might help Dec 12 08:21:38 smb then Dec 12 08:21:58 I dont think you can "mount" a device in windows over MTP Dec 12 08:22:09 you see it in Explorer Dec 12 08:24:36 smb will work on usb? Dec 12 08:24:59 confuse little bit. Dec 12 08:25:02 if you use usb networking Dec 12 08:25:10 can you please explain Dec 12 08:25:30 you can expose an ethernet interface on USB Dec 12 08:25:35 I think stock debian does that Dec 12 08:25:55 yes it does and IIRC windows has drivers OotB Dec 12 08:29:51 kk_: there is also google for that Dec 12 08:37:46 hi Dec 12 09:11:31 Hi everyone. Using mainline 3.14.16 kernel., beaglebone black am3358. In kernel there are two drivers: omap_sham for sha and md5 crypto hw and omap_aes for aes crypto hw. In /proc/interrupts i can only see omap_sham and while using it I see that it is used. However I cannot bring omap_aes up, anyone had this problem? Dec 12 10:19:48 Hi, I installed the current debian for the BBB on an SD card (via dd if= of= 1M), and booted from the SD card. But now I can not install new software. How can I fix that? Increase partition size via gparted? Dec 12 10:19:52 Thanks! Dec 12 10:20:17 yes Dec 12 10:20:28 anates: step 1) find out what keeps you from installing new software. Dec 12 10:20:35 card full Dec 12 10:20:42 std images are 2GB only and full Dec 12 10:20:44 no? Dec 12 10:20:53 hm, depends Dec 12 10:21:15 AFAIK they have liek 100m free, which means one can at least install *some* things Dec 12 10:21:22 *g* Dec 12 10:21:24 lol Dec 12 10:21:40 so the error description is vague and insuffient (as so often) Dec 12 10:21:59 100 mb is nothing Dec 12 10:22:13 and why is the image so stuffed up? Dec 12 10:22:23 woglinde: full desktop and stuff Dec 12 10:22:28 nodejs stuff? Dec 12 10:22:33 full desktop? Dec 12 10:22:35 what the hell Dec 12 10:22:47 it is what it is Dec 12 10:22:51 they should use android Dec 12 10:22:53 I just downloaded the image from the official page, and I want to install QT5 (~1Gbyte) Dec 12 10:22:55 sigh Dec 12 10:23:03 anates: resize the partition Dec 12 10:23:06 and yes, I have 100 Mbytes left Dec 12 10:23:21 av500 hm? I thought the 2 gig are stuffed up Dec 12 10:23:29 av500: Simply via putting it into my main computer and resize it? Ok Dec 12 10:23:34 or is it 2 gig and the emmc has 4 gig? Dec 12 10:23:38 woglinde: his card is larger Dec 12 10:23:41 SD Dec 12 10:23:46 why u no read? Dec 12 10:23:53 hm I am dull Dec 12 10:23:56 anates: yes Dec 12 10:24:04 https://www.google.com/search?q=beaglebone+partition+resize Dec 12 10:24:07 My SD card has 32Gbyte space, but the partition for booting only has 1.6 Gbyte... Dec 12 10:24:10 ok, thanks! Dec 12 10:24:14 resizefs my work Dec 12 10:24:19 may Dec 12 10:25:33 anates yes because dd only copies the 2 gig Dec 12 10:25:44 and thats the partition size Dec 12 10:25:51 one could also just use the console image which has the reverse proportions (e.g. 100something MB used, rest is free) Dec 12 10:26:14 letothe2nd ah okay at least it exist Dec 12 10:27:24 ok, I'll do the gparted version Dec 12 10:27:33 console image is not listed on bb.org Dec 12 10:27:43 http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian Dec 12 10:27:46 but is here Dec 12 10:28:19 av500: neither is qt5. so should we tell people "its not listed on bb.org, it does not exist for the BBB"? Dec 12 10:28:30 no Dec 12 10:32:42 haha Dec 12 10:32:43 ./grow_partition.sh Dec 12 10:44:51 Hi. Using mainline 3.14.16 kernel., beaglebone black am3358. In kernel there are two drivers: omap_sham for sha and md5 crypto hw and omap_aes for aes crypto hw. In /proc/interrupts i can only see omap_sham and while using it I see that it is used. However I cannot bring omap_aes up, Help? Dec 12 10:45:35 JustasMika: sorry no idea Dec 12 10:45:46 I have not seen people use aes here Dec 12 10:45:53 nothing in kernel logs? Dec 12 10:47:36 I guess some printk debugging is in order Dec 12 10:47:43 dmeg | grep omap, it actually shows loading both omap-sham and omap-aes, but interrupts logs only 1, omap-sham and then I can see it used properly when interrupts counts increase. Cannot say that about omap-aes when its not appearing in interrupts Dec 12 10:48:29 in device tree both omap-sham and omap-aes defined properly as far as i can see Dec 12 10:49:20 JustasMika is something more in the kernel documentation? Dec 12 10:49:22 also tried to fetch original device tree from image TI ships in EMMC, nothing new there Dec 12 10:49:29 or maybe userspace cannot use it Dec 12 10:49:32 TI? Dec 12 10:49:39 JustasMika: and how do you use it? Dec 12 10:49:46 the syscall hangs? Dec 12 10:49:52 returns with error? Dec 12 10:50:41 nothing, but afaik omap_sham and omap_aes they are pretty similar, so both should be seen in proc/interrupts Dec 12 10:50:48 nothing? Dec 12 10:50:59 why interrupts? Dec 12 10:51:07 and about all this texas instruments hides it under NDA very closely Dec 12 10:51:09 use strace to see of userspace calls it Dec 12 10:51:12 woglinde: hw units signal completion I guess Dec 12 10:51:17 hm Dec 12 10:51:21 yea Dec 12 10:51:28 yes, please strace a test code Dec 12 10:51:34 so something inside the kernel can use it only= Dec 12 10:51:44 maybe there is nothing using it Dec 12 10:52:19 its part of kernel crypto api Dec 12 10:52:26 http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/crypto/omap-aes.c?v=3.16 Dec 12 10:52:43 if cryptodev-linux uses omap_sham I asume it should use also omap_aes and I can see in cryptodev code that it should Dec 12 10:53:06 so what happens? Dec 12 10:53:14 aes gets called and does not encrypt? Dec 12 10:53:19 or error message? Dec 12 10:53:37 if u use cryptodev, nothing changes from puse SW crypto Dec 12 10:53:40 hm I would load the aes with debug printf Dec 12 10:53:57 omap_aes_write(dd, AES_REG_IRQ_ENABLE(dd), 0x2); Dec 12 10:54:04 so yes, IRQs should be used Dec 12 10:54:32 yups Dec 12 10:55:17 well, I would make sure that your code tries to do kernel aes at all Dec 12 10:55:20 woglinde: currently i have then as kernel module, so cant load/unload, but maybe should try to rebuild as loadable modules Dec 12 10:55:36 put a printf and see Dec 12 10:55:41 then go debug the module Dec 12 10:55:56 av500 it already has debug printfs Dec 12 10:56:06 justasmika yes go for it Dec 12 10:56:15 woglinde: no, it has printks Dec 12 10:56:24 JustasMika ah no with right kernelcmdline Dec 12 10:56:35 you can force to set the debug printf too Dec 12 10:56:42 ups printk Dec 12 10:56:48 we are in kernel land Dec 12 10:56:54 know how? Dec 12 10:57:08 hello everyone, I'm a college student. I thought of doing biometric security systems with beaglebone... Is it possible to do with beaglebone??? Dec 12 10:57:32 JustasMika thats up on you to google Dec 12 10:57:36 viki_ yes, we are building one also :) Dec 12 10:57:37 viki_: sure Dec 12 10:57:41 anything is possible Dec 12 10:57:43 mostly its drivername.debug=1 or something Dec 12 10:58:05 viki_: depends on your definition of biometry. if you, like me just measure the ohm resistance between left index finger and right index finger... sure!! Dec 12 10:58:07 since you did not define "biometric security system" Dec 12 10:58:21 hm all biometric security system fails Dec 12 10:58:26 LetoThe2nd: i'd got for a much simpler "finger present" button Dec 12 10:58:32 So to move on with it... wat I need to do?? @av500 Dec 12 10:58:42 viki_: I have no idea Dec 12 10:58:45 viki I would pick another topic Dec 12 10:58:47 ya sure Dec 12 10:58:51 I guess you need to read a lot :) Dec 12 10:58:55 and find out what you want to do Dec 12 10:58:56 av500: c'mon, add some fun. how about a finger *not* present button? Dec 12 10:59:03 dead man switch! Dec 12 10:59:05 all for it Dec 12 10:59:08 hmmm ok about wat Dec 12 10:59:08 hooray! Dec 12 10:59:11 glue or green wire? Dec 12 10:59:33 viki_:probably google the shit out of it first of all Dec 12 10:59:41 +111 Dec 12 10:59:42 blue wire. or even better, uninsolated silver soldering wire Dec 12 10:59:43 av500 red Dec 12 10:59:56 woglinde: ok, I cut the green one Dec 12 11:00:28 okkk thanks a lot..... If i need any help... I'll contact u guys Dec 12 11:09:07 viki_ contact better your supervisor Dec 12 11:09:15 he should guide you Dec 12 11:09:23 *cough* Dec 12 11:09:27 sorry Dec 12 11:09:37 av500: here, have a pullmoll Dec 12 11:09:56 I take the whole packung Dec 12 11:10:13 fast walk to toilet than Dec 12 11:10:24 want some vodka with it to dissolve it more easily?

Dec 12 12:48:15 see the last e-mail: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/342803 Dec 12 12:51:04 I blame systemd-TI Dec 12 12:51:32 @av500: you can't. It is not running on my rootfs :-( Dec 12 12:52:37 @av500: perhaps BusyBox is to blame, as it is my Init provider :-) Dec 12 12:57:27 How comes, that devs are often quite alone with their bugs? :-) Dec 12 13:18:53 Hello, I need to install MTP driver in beaglebone black prebuilt image bone-debian-7.5-2014-05-14-2gb.img.xz Dec 12 13:19:28 any suggestion to add MTP support in 3.8.13 kernel Dec 12 13:19:56 3.8.13-bone50 Dec 12 13:21:14 kk_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MTP Dec 12 13:21:29 kk_: AFAIK you just need FUSE Dec 12 13:22:23 root@beaglebone:~# mtp-detect libmtp version: 1.1.3 Listing raw device(s) No raw devices found.

Dec 12 13:28:02 kk_: why MTP? Dec 12 13:29:04 No i am not. Bcoz when i use mtpfs i got everytime Dec 12 13:29:06 Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.Listing raw device(s) No raw devices found. Dec 12 13:29:32 kk_: what are you trying to do? Dec 12 13:30:33 As i can not use mass storage device concurrently i need this protocol to use for bidirectional data transfer from device to host Dec 12 13:30:40 yes Dec 12 13:30:48 and what exactly do you want to do with MTP? Dec 12 13:31:01 and why not use SMB as suggested? Dec 12 13:34:13 yes it is working but as i am implementing on usb protocol i have two option to use it which are MSC and MTP Dec 12 13:34:44 you can do network over USB Dec 12 13:34:55 how do you plan to use MTP? Dec 12 13:35:03 which device is the host? PC or BBB? Dec 12 13:35:59 there is a isochrous mode in usb for bandwidth critical transfer. but i think everyone just uses bulk mode as it does the job. Dec 12 13:36:07 I am not very clear with MTP. Does MTP uses network protocol as samba uses> Dec 12 13:36:12 no Dec 12 13:36:16 MTP is a usb protocol Dec 12 13:37:10 your error message is from trying to use the BBB as an MTP host Dec 12 13:37:20 but the PC is the host Dec 12 13:37:24 you would need to be device Dec 12 13:37:32 so MTP could be implemented ? Dec 12 13:37:49 have fun implementing MTP device on the BBB Dec 12 13:37:57 I mean, its in Android anyway Dec 12 13:38:02 just copy that Dec 12 13:38:32 and replace the android database stuff with your own Dec 12 13:38:42 or do as I said and do not use MTP Dec 12 13:38:42 Look for e.g i am using BBB as camera. When i capture a pic. Changes on camera directory should apper on pc Dec 12 13:38:52 use SMB Dec 12 13:39:16 since you have no idea about MTP anyway Dec 12 13:41:29 Also mass storage won't work right? Dec 12 13:42:15 yes, we had that discussion Dec 12 13:43:17 Thank you man ...

Dec 12 17:19:10 you need to ban people that say anything bad about BBB too Dec 12 17:19:56 <_av500_> happy? Dec 12 17:25:02 lol Dec 12 18:23:18 hi guys i have a motorcape for my beaglebone black. Is there any example code available for this cape? Dec 12 18:45:31 <_av500_> no idea Dec 12 18:45:35 <_av500_> who makes it? Dec 12 18:47:29 <_av500_> but it looks like you need 8 GPIOs and 8 PWM signals Dec 12 19:06:09 _av500_, its made by circuitco. its supposed to use an l298 from what i remember reading. Dec 12 19:07:17 <_av500_> no Dec 12 19:07:27 <_av500_> the one I see uses some TI DRV chips Dec 12 19:07:35 <_av500_> that need DIR and PWM Dec 12 19:07:39 _av500_, http://elinux.org/CircuitCo:Moto_Cape this the one i purchased Dec 12 19:07:52 <_av500_> ah Dec 12 19:07:55 <_av500_> different one Dec 12 19:08:09 <_av500_> ah, the other is X2 Dec 12 19:09:14 <_av500_> so only 2 PWMs and 4 GPIOs Dec 12 19:09:51 _av500_, I just needed some sample code to make sure it worked properly. I was using the BBBiolib library and wasnt sure if I had the pwm items working right. I just got my beaglebone black back due to having to rma it so I will be playing with this this weekend trying to get it working Dec 12 19:10:56 <_av500_> well, l298 sample code should be all over the internet Dec 12 19:11:58 <_av500_> LL: off, LH: forward, HL: reverse HH: off Dec 12 19:12:04 <_av500_> and the PWM to set the speed Dec 12 19:12:48 _av500_, I'm assuming i shorted my beaglebone black due to loose wires when testing. never got to test my code on the device before it failed and I've since formatted the microsd card. will rewrite and test later. thanks for the help Dec 12 19:13:13 <_av500_> np Dec 12 20:20:45 Hi Any one has issue with analog inputs in begealbone black when connect with BB VIEW cape Dec 12 20:22:07 what's a view cape? Dec 12 20:22:38 BB VIEW is the cape board for the 4.3" LCD Dec 12 20:23:30 Thai_: It would be helpful if you gave a link to the product, and also to expand on what issues you are seeing with the analog inputs. Dec 12 20:23:51 agmlego: apparently http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-67863?ICID=BBB-feature-viewpanel Dec 12 20:23:59 it has a 4 wire resistive touchscreen Dec 12 20:24:23 http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-55844/l/expansion-board-for-beaglebone-family-with-7-inch-lcd Dec 12 20:24:26 Well there you go. Problem exists because something else is using those pins. Dec 12 20:24:27 well, duuuh, that's probably using some of the ADC inputs for exactly what they were designed for Dec 12 20:24:36 s/some/all/ Dec 12 20:25:03 exactly they are using 4 analog inputs, AIN0 to 3, I am using AIN5 and AIN 6 Dec 12 20:25:19 OK, so what issues are you having? Dec 12 20:25:44 But AIN5 and AIN6 are not always available Dec 12 20:26:18 Why not? How do you know? Dec 12 20:26:55 I am connecting my sensor input to AIN5 and AIN6, I cannot read this analog inputs continuolusly, some or rather these pins are getting un available always Dec 12 20:27:18 how does "unavailable" manifest? Dec 12 20:27:52 When I monitor these pins, they are unavailable for a while and then become available, again go unavailable, looks like there is a multiplexing happening Dec 12 20:27:59 Well, yes. Dec 12 20:28:14 THis is how multi-input ADCs work--there is one ADC and a mux. Dec 12 20:28:32 and that's documented Dec 12 20:28:58 it's one ADC with 8 pins multiplexed to it Dec 12 20:29:02 Thai_: If that is an issue, either stop using the touchscreen on the cape, or get an external ADC and connect it by SPI or I2C. Dec 12 20:29:38 where is documented, is there a work around that I can monitor the analog input continuosly for my sensor input Dec 12 20:30:07 yes, as agmlego says, use a separate ADC through I²C or SPI Dec 12 20:30:27 Thai_: It is documented in the TRM and SRM. The workarounds are either a) stop using the touchscreen or b) use an external ADC. Dec 12 20:33:06 THanks, is there anyone recompile the kernel such that the Analog pins PIN5 and PIN6 seperated Dec 12 20:33:35 it's a HARDWARE limitation Dec 12 20:35:51 Thai_: You cannot affect the way the silicon is designed with a kernel change. Dec 12 20:36:01 Thanks I will look into other options Dec 12 20:36:21 Thai_: You *can* force the ADC to only look at 5 and 6 by *not using* the other pins for anything. Dec 12 20:36:29 WHich means not using the touchscreen on the cape. Dec 12 20:36:50 But even then, it will cycle between the two pins if you are reading both. Dec 12 20:56:26 hi, I want to get my BB Rev C4 started again with the Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc image, connected to a DVI monitor but while the board clearly has power i see nothing happening on screen. Am I using the correct image ? Dec 12 20:57:33 oh, its been too long since I powered my BB rev C2 Dec 12 22:13:45 Hi, someone out there helping me with a beagle bone black usb problem? Dec 12 22:31:55 Guest29202: depends what sort of problem. if you can be a bit more descriptive, someone may stick their head up and be able to help. alternatively, try the mail list as not everyone who maybe be able to help have eyes are on IRC at the moment Dec 12 22:39:22 I have BeagleBone Black and try to connect USB numpads but it's impossible to connect more than 5. Dec 12 22:39:54 The sixth produces an error while assigned by usb input driver: Dec 12 22:41:05 input: failed to attach handler kbd to device input12, error: -16 Dec 12 22:41:11 ^^ Dec 12 22:41:20 The error message from syslog Dec 12 22:42:39 usb is shared bus, with the 5th device you ran out of usb bandwidth.. Dec 12 22:47:25 sounds valid, but the pi is able to handle many more Dec 12 22:47:58 so, the single usb host controller is the bottleneck? Dec 12 22:48:26 one of the bottlenecks'... have you tried v3.14.x? usb on the 3.8.x is mostly a hack.. Dec 12 22:51:11 I#m on the 3.8.13 now. How do I get the 3.14? Dec 12 22:52:02 depends, what version of the rootfs do you have: cat /etc/dogtag Dec 12 22:56:39 usb is mostly a hack :D Dec 12 22:56:45 BeagleBoard.org BeagleBone Debian Image 2014-04-23 Dec 12 22:59:23 You'd have to upgrade the rootfs first: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-12-11 then just : sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.26-ti-r39 ; sudo reboot Dec 12 23:00:25 something newer than 3.8.13 on BBB, unpossible!
