**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 01 02:59:59 2015 Feb 01 04:30:27 hello Feb 01 04:30:48 hi Feb 01 04:31:11 i have some questions if you dont mind Feb 01 04:31:37 its a little complex and i hope you can answer Feb 01 04:32:30 ask.. Feb 01 04:33:00 so basically i am using Simulink to talk to the beaglebone black Feb 01 04:33:44 i have established connection and have tried to use the functions that they have given me Feb 01 04:34:21 i am basically trying to connect the webcam from my laptop to the LCD and stream in real time Feb 01 04:35:15 i have the LCD connected to the beagle and i am only using the mini usb cable right now so im using the standard ip Feb 01 04:36:03 i would like to know if i am missing some type connection or if there is a better way to establish audio and video communication in real time Feb 01 04:39:37 do i need something on the linux side that will allow me to stream audio and video? Feb 01 04:40:43 you need some form of streaming server Feb 01 04:41:04 and I think you'll find that real-time at any motion-friendly frame-rate ain't gonna happen on the beagle Feb 01 04:41:38 depeds on the resolution though of course Feb 01 04:45:16 i have never created a streaming server. can you point me in the best direction that will work from my windows based operating system to the debian linux Feb 01 04:45:56 which end is streaming? Feb 01 04:46:00 i have to create a 2 way audio video communication system for between my laptop and the beagle Feb 01 04:46:15 you heard of skype?! :p Feb 01 04:46:57 seriously though, you wanna be careful of re-inventing the wheel somewhat .. you're gonna hit a lotta pitfalls .. esp. with the limited capacity of the beagle Feb 01 04:47:44 as far as codec's go .. live555 is one video streaming server .. Feb 01 04:48:10 my work is doing a project with a dedicated video chip though with hardware encoding Feb 01 04:48:39 but that's HD resolution @ 30fps over H264 links Feb 01 04:48:42 haha yes i have heard of skype Feb 01 04:48:54 <_av500_> veremit: which chip? Feb 01 04:49:01 will it work over the same ip network without internet? Feb 01 04:49:20 dm368, av500 Feb 01 04:49:25 <_av500_> ah Feb 01 04:49:36 beaglebone black Feb 01 04:49:38 its .. adequate .. and small :) Feb 01 04:49:43 <_av500_> yup Feb 01 04:50:07 yeah it capabilities are amazing. i just have hit a wall Feb 01 04:50:10 <_av500_> Guest87347: you might be able to simultaneously encode and decode QVGA on the BBB Feb 01 04:50:28 <_av500_> so its not like skype Feb 01 04:50:37 <_av500_> more like 80s video telephony Feb 01 04:50:44 im sorry, QWGA? Feb 01 04:50:51 QVGA? Feb 01 04:51:15 haha 80s video Feb 01 04:51:32 so its in analog basically? Feb 01 04:51:39 no Feb 01 04:51:51 digital? Feb 01 04:51:56 <_av500_> yes Feb 01 04:51:59 <_av500_> 320x240 Feb 01 04:51:59 really Feb 01 04:52:03 <_av500_> maybe Feb 01 04:52:11 Guest87347: QVGA is 320x240 resolution Feb 01 04:52:17 but only maybe Feb 01 04:52:17 lol Feb 01 04:52:23 it's not really a video chip, the am335x is it lol Feb 01 04:52:39 haahha maybe???? Feb 01 04:53:22 dunno whether it could forward a usb webcam stream maybe? Feb 01 04:53:33 so will skype work over the same ip without internet? Feb 01 04:53:40 Guest87347 .. no Feb 01 04:53:51 skype relies on access to its servers. Feb 01 04:53:53 damn Feb 01 04:54:00 you might find an equivalent .. Feb 01 04:54:11 do you have any in mind? Feb 01 04:54:21 honestly, if i had to do streaming/encoding on an arm ch ip Feb 01 04:54:22 there's something like 'webRTP' .. out there .. Feb 01 04:54:26 I'd probably get the jetson Feb 01 04:54:31 veremit: WebRTC? Feb 01 04:54:35 that one, thanks Feb 01 04:54:49 I think you can build your own server? Feb 01 04:54:56 or it 'hosts' locally Feb 01 04:55:16 mind you, it's still going to be pretty slow Feb 01 04:55:23 treat my computer as an adhoc network? Feb 01 04:55:58 iirc WebRTC lives in the browser Feb 01 04:56:26 like the google browser?? Feb 01 04:56:35 a web browser Feb 01 04:56:53 like .. javascript? Feb 01 04:57:02 nope Feb 01 04:57:23 its browser-based I know that much Feb 01 04:57:24 Well, js/web page facilitates the connection Feb 01 04:57:34 but the actual functionality resides in the web browser Feb 01 04:57:47 oh I see .. like in the browser code .. back end like Feb 01 04:57:57 the beagle has the google based internal browser Feb 01 04:58:11 that way, you don't have to install plugins Feb 01 04:58:24 yup I get it Feb 01 04:58:33 thats cool Feb 01 04:58:39 how does it work? Feb 01 04:59:02 its native code Feb 01 04:59:10 https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc/ Feb 01 04:59:21 That might be something you could look into Feb 01 05:00:34 do i install it on the beagle Feb 01 05:01:00 You could, if you want Feb 01 05:01:04 nothing stopping you Feb 01 05:01:10 mind you, the code i linked doesn't do video Feb 01 05:01:18 but it's a starting point if you wanted to code your own solution Feb 01 05:01:50 Im no the best linux programmer Feb 01 05:02:22 i know C and C++, im mainly a matlab prgrammer. Feb 01 05:02:28 but honestly, if I had to make a streaming box, I'd use one of these: https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-tk1 Feb 01 05:02:52 or one of the Odroids Feb 01 05:03:43 i know that linux based devices can be treated as servers so it came highly recommneded Feb 01 05:03:54 yes, on a decent cpu lol Feb 01 05:04:06 the beagle is a very modest 'server' Feb 01 05:04:19 Modest is stretching it a little, haha Feb 01 05:04:25 It's a great dev board though Feb 01 05:05:06 hahha so if i wanted to stream to the lcd it would not be the best idea?? Feb 01 05:05:17 Guest87347: Raspberry Pi might be a decent choice, if you wanted to video stream over network Feb 01 05:05:31 or 'better' at least Feb 01 05:05:32 awww damn Feb 01 05:05:37 it has decent hardware support for encoding Feb 01 05:05:38 and its equally cheap Feb 01 05:05:54 decodes video pretty well too Feb 01 05:05:54 can you use it though seitensei ? Feb 01 05:06:02 i chose this board over the raspberry pi Feb 01 05:06:14 veremit: you get h264 with the raspberry pi Feb 01 05:06:19 <_av500_> you did not do your research then Feb 01 05:06:27 i did lol Feb 01 05:06:36 need to pick up other codecs, if you want to use mpeg2 or windows format Feb 01 05:07:00 seitensei : wondered about actual driver access tot he codecs .. bloody broadcom crap Feb 01 05:07:16 the beagle support all the sensors capabilities in realtime based off of the simulink links i looked up Feb 01 05:07:37 yes, sensors its great Feb 01 05:07:41 and it has the lcd for stream capabilities Feb 01 05:07:51 no .. it has the lcd for video output lol Feb 01 05:08:45 so i can play video, but i cant stream it? Feb 01 05:08:48 its not a computer .. remember .. Feb 01 05:08:57 well, it is a computer Feb 01 05:09:01 ahahaa Feb 01 05:09:04 but that's not saying much, since the arduino is a computer too Feb 01 05:09:06 technically, yes. Feb 01 05:09:16 yeah technically Feb 01 05:09:19 no, the arduino isn't currently a computer :P its a microcontroller Feb 01 05:09:35 wit the YUN and Zero, it will have computing power, though :) Feb 01 05:09:40 there are some that are both, but yeah i guess that true Feb 01 05:09:50 <_av500_> veremit: so the C64 was not a computer? Feb 01 05:09:59 veremit: microcontrollers are computers though Feb 01 05:10:05 speaking of .. where's jkridner .. that Zero ain't built yet .. :p Feb 01 05:10:22 av500 : I think the C64 classified .. it had a screen, memory and storage, right? Feb 01 05:10:37 seitensei : I disagree Feb 01 05:10:53 their capacity for running an Operating System is non-existant Feb 01 05:11:02 operating system != computer Feb 01 05:11:09 so what should i do? has anyone even used simulink to interface with this board Feb 01 05:11:12 no .. and operating system is Software Feb 01 05:11:19 an/d Feb 01 05:11:25 You don't need to be able to run an operating system for it to be a computer Feb 01 05:11:33 yes, I believe you do Feb 01 05:11:34 <_av500_> just basic Feb 01 05:11:37 <_av500_> :) Feb 01 05:11:42 hahah guys Feb 01 05:12:01 have any of you used simulink????? Feb 01 05:12:04 <_av500_> nope Feb 01 05:12:13 <_av500_> but i know what it is Feb 01 05:12:25 damn Feb 01 05:12:32 <_av500_> it makes people think what was easy on their large PC will work anywhere else too Feb 01 05:12:51 <_av500_> because some PDF said so Feb 01 05:13:39 there are tutorials that prove a logitech camera streaming audio and video through the beagle Feb 01 05:13:46 veremit: I dunno, microcontrollers fit the bare definition of a computer Feb 01 05:13:52 maybe not a personal computer or general purpose computer Feb 01 05:13:55 but definitely a computer Feb 01 05:14:08 bare definition .. but I struggle with the input/output .. especially display output and mass storage :P Feb 01 05:14:22 those aren't essential to it being a computer though~ Feb 01 05:14:32 <_av500_> Guest87347: yes, logitech cam already encodes h264 Feb 01 05:14:32 its not accessible as a computer .. its a computing device, yes. Feb 01 05:14:32 were still on this topic of controllers and computers lol Feb 01 05:15:00 <_av500_> that would save you the encoding part Feb 01 05:15:10 the implication of computer (ok, not definition) is that its interactive Feb 01 05:15:12 i know that part Feb 01 05:15:19 veremit: microcontrollers have a processor, memory, and io Feb 01 05:15:21 <_av500_> now find a display that decodes h264 and you are done := Feb 01 05:15:42 the beagle cannot decode? Feb 01 05:15:49 seitensei .. of this I am aware Feb 01 05:15:57 which makes it a computer Feb 01 05:16:08 * veremit lets this discussion go Feb 01 05:16:37 can i basically use the webcam on my computer to stream to the beagle?? Feb 01 05:16:53 will it bae able to play to the lcd Feb 01 05:16:55 _av500_ .. the beagle can't decode h264? Feb 01 05:17:00 <_av500_> it can Feb 01 05:17:04 <_av500_> in vga Feb 01 05:17:09 right Feb 01 05:17:13 vga? Feb 01 05:17:22 <_av500_> yes Feb 01 05:17:23 so you can .. in theory .. just about display a usb logitech cam on a beagle lcd Feb 01 05:17:33 -shudder- Feb 01 05:17:42 :x Feb 01 05:17:43 * veremit goes to look at odroids .. Feb 01 05:17:51 <_av500_> well, you could use a usb cam on BBB that delivers H264 Feb 01 05:17:56 <_av500_> and a usb soundcard Feb 01 05:18:00 <_av500_> for audio Feb 01 05:18:11 <_av500_> you encode / decode audio on BBB and you decode incoming video Feb 01 05:18:21 I'd still think a raspberry pi would be better Feb 01 05:18:22 :x Feb 01 05:18:23 <_av500_> and voila, your BBB based skype Feb 01 05:18:38 <_av500_> now, what button to press in simulink for that, I dont know Feb 01 05:18:39 hmmm Feb 01 05:19:00 But if you're doing this for kicks or 'just because you can', I suppose the beaglebone is workable Feb 01 05:19:00 how has no one used simulink before? Feb 01 05:19:11 <_av500_> why is that relevant? Feb 01 05:19:22 im doin this for a school project Feb 01 05:19:31 <_av500_> yes Feb 01 05:19:45 i would like to use a gui interface to make a robot Feb 01 05:19:53 <_av500_> ??? Feb 01 05:20:01 <_av500_> didnt you want to make a 2way video link? Feb 01 05:20:10 damnit I was nearly excited by the odroid .. but its got usb-ethernet :( Again. Fail. Feb 01 05:20:17 the robot has to have the beagle on it Feb 01 05:20:30 and i have the control center Feb 01 05:20:46 well you'll just have to limit yourself to very low resolution video Feb 01 05:20:57 or add a secondary cpu board Feb 01 05:21:07 i have 3 beagles Feb 01 05:21:13 wtf?! lol Feb 01 05:21:13 i just want some video lol Feb 01 05:21:25 the only board that comes to mind with non-usb ethernet is the beagle, haha Feb 01 05:21:27 throw 2 away and put a Pi in for video Feb 01 05:21:34 and the wand seitensei Feb 01 05:21:40 <3 wand Feb 01 05:21:43 what is that lol Feb 01 05:21:53 quad wand has sata built-in :) Feb 01 05:21:59 first time hearing of that Feb 01 05:22:09 its good .. dual+quad have onboard wifi too Feb 01 05:22:09 * seitensei googles Feb 01 05:22:12 I need this Feb 01 05:22:15 1 beagle was for audio and video Feb 01 05:22:23 it has everything Feb 01 05:22:26 2nd one is for sensors and things Feb 01 05:22:46 and still i would have no use for it Feb 01 05:22:46 third is a backup Feb 01 05:22:54 lol seitensei .. but you still need one :P Feb 01 05:23:04 * seitensei adds it to the list Feb 01 05:23:20 I have beagle, wand an pi .. def. no use for pi yet, beagle runs some ethernet services, wand is wifi .. ;) Feb 01 05:23:45 and recently an allwinner a13 with usb wifi on-board Feb 01 05:23:49 which is interesting. Feb 01 05:23:58 crzy olimex stuff Feb 01 05:24:08 the beagle is connected via wifi router Feb 01 05:24:10 <_av500_> Guest87347: and you have how long to finish this? Feb 01 05:24:33 I just use my pi for ssh when I'm out Feb 01 05:24:34 another 5 months or so Feb 01 05:24:51 actually .. you might do better with a wand on the robot .. lol but its a bit more expensive :) Feb 01 05:24:52 So that I can ping and monitor my other devices Feb 01 05:25:15 seitensei .. yeah that's one functino for the beagle .. that an a usb hard disk server Feb 01 05:25:21 that was MISERABLE on the pi .. Feb 01 05:25:23 <_av500_> Guest87347: good luck Feb 01 05:25:30 money is not a big deal Feb 01 05:25:36 <_av500_> true Feb 01 05:25:54 seitensei .. ethernet and high-bandswith usb on the same usb port on the broadcom .. epic fail lol Feb 01 05:26:02 i just need to make this work well and be able to attach it to a gui Feb 01 05:26:03 veremit: I have a WD MyCloud to handle network storage, pi isn't much other than a toy Feb 01 05:26:18 cool Feb 01 05:26:42 plus, i feel safer opening ssh access on it, than opening ssh on any of my actual servers/computers Feb 01 05:26:46 if i can use a website to talk to is and do it that way, it would be great Feb 01 05:27:38 seitensei .. the worst thing you can lose is a SD card lol Feb 01 05:28:00 makes security breaches less harmful, actually Feb 01 05:28:12 Guest87347 .. have a look at the wandboard also .. its GPU apparently will do h264 encode .. so a multi-core board will probably do bi-directional communication Feb 01 05:28:17 ugh, okay so really quick, what would you personally do in my situation to make this all work Feb 01 05:28:35 just don't go over VGA resolution lol Feb 01 05:28:37 Guest87347: I'd just use a better board Feb 01 05:28:44 it has a LCD interface also Feb 01 05:29:13 seitensei .. you can access the boxes from ya gateway.. works well Feb 01 05:30:01 i can't access my gateway from outside of the network~ for good reason Feb 01 05:30:10 gateway, assuming you mean routing device Feb 01 05:30:22 yes Feb 01 05:30:35 its a gateway between networks :p Feb 01 05:30:39 heh Feb 01 05:30:43 or one of many :p Feb 01 05:30:51 semantics :p Feb 01 05:30:58 <_av500_> Guest87347: even if you had a better board, how would you make it all work? Feb 01 05:31:08 <_av500_> do you have a SW architecture in mind? Feb 01 05:31:22 what is that? Feb 01 05:31:27 :x Feb 01 05:31:48 sorry Feb 01 05:32:05 Guest87347: Do you already know what you're doing software side? Feb 01 05:32:28 simulink everything together Feb 01 05:33:53 Simulink has everyting i need, it talks the beagle and im able to send it linux code. Feb 01 05:34:08 It talks to the RPi too Feb 01 05:34:17 yes it does Feb 01 05:34:35 I feel like that will be easier for you Feb 01 05:34:53 it also has an encoder system that compiles code from matlab to C and visa versa Feb 01 05:35:48 okay. i will look into it. i really appreciate everyones ideas in this matter. sorry if i asked dumb questions. Feb 01 05:35:58 i have to go now. Feb 01 05:36:08 thank you for your time Feb 01 05:36:10 TIL: Simulink exists Feb 01 05:36:26 what? Feb 01 05:36:42 My mips prof has a pretty nice view on how well something goes Feb 01 05:36:50 'Did you learn something?' if yes, 'Good' Feb 01 05:37:01 :) Feb 01 05:37:15 yes that i have look into how servers work Feb 01 05:37:25 i have to consider the resolution of the screenin my ideas Feb 01 05:37:29 I've learnt something .. netconsole in uboot .. totally by accident .. Feb 01 05:37:38 lol Feb 01 05:37:42 omg lol Feb 01 05:37:44 and seitensei knows about wand now :p Feb 01 05:37:59 bye guys, thanks lol Feb 01 05:38:27 <_av500_> ah, simulink will do it all for you Feb 01 05:38:30 its nice that people are ambitious with the beagle .. just .. would be nicer if a tad more realistic lol Feb 01 05:38:37 <_av500_> you will be bored for 4 months Feb 01 05:38:37 _av500_ .. thats what I suspected Feb 01 05:38:47 it takes the Work out Feb 01 05:38:51 <_av500_> yeah Feb 01 05:39:04 you tell it what you wanna do .. IT does the work for you Feb 01 05:39:17 I imagine that's a mess Feb 01 05:39:27 -shrug- Feb 01 05:39:32 school projects -sigh- Feb 01 05:39:40 I'd never be able to trust something to generate code for me Feb 01 05:39:44 even for a school project Feb 01 05:39:47 give 'em a pi and teach 'em python .. but I doubt they can manage python teaching Feb 01 05:40:12 although .. plug it in the net .. enough tutorials Feb 01 05:40:24 I know a mate's daughter loves her pi Feb 01 05:40:33 so I figure eBen's succeeded. lol. Feb 01 05:41:38 that odroid is interesting though .. but I do demand good connectivity .. ethernet or Simple wifi. Already got a headache with the rtl8192 driver on the A13 board -sigh- but I'll crack it .. I have to lol Feb 01 05:41:44 I know my parents love their pi Feb 01 05:41:57 but they use it as a media center/openelec box Feb 01 05:42:15 how do you get around the storage part though? Feb 01 05:42:25 I spose normal ethernet streaming is pretty 'slow' .. Feb 01 05:43:02 I like the idea of the xmbc .. but I just hate that stupid USB/hub/LAN chip Feb 01 05:43:03 They stream everything from the net Feb 01 05:43:07 right Feb 01 05:43:15 well .. that's low bandwidtyh by definition lol Feb 01 05:43:25 and the chinese shows that are put up for streaming aren't exactly highest quality either Feb 01 05:43:26 works out Feb 01 05:43:30 right Feb 01 05:43:43 where you based seitensei ?

Feb 01 08:23:28 Hello all, Currently I am trying to get the running on DM3730 with a linux kernel 3.5.7. I use this explanation: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/DSP_Howto and I can get the DSP-Brdigedriver running and I can et the examples running if I use the prebuilt binaries. But when I try to compile the binaries from myself with these sources: git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/tidspbridge/userspace-dspbridge.git, I get an error „DSPNode_Create f Feb 01 08:24:16 last two numbers of the error). I saw that in the file .tci there is for example the uuid of nodes used. I don not completly understand the use oft he .tci files and the tool tconf, but I suspect, that there are some settings done that I do not set correctly.

Feb 01 18:15:12 basically I want to NOT use the gadget driver and to uniquely identify the device so the host machine will load my driver... Feb 01 18:43:17 so idVendor and idProduct for the peripheral USB... any way to change these? On other devices it would be in the firmware somewhere... Feb 01 19:01:44 hmmmm, ghost town? Feb 01 19:02:40 gg change nickname... OK. Well, can't expect much on superbowl sunday I suppose. Feb 01 19:56:35 hello - I'm trying to modify https://github.com/jadonk/cape-firmware/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/BB-BONE-PRU-01-00A0.dts to use p9.27 as an input pin, but i'm having some trouble Feb 01 19:57:29 also, as a side note, the bbb docs say repeatedly in red text not to apply power to the gpios until another pin goes hi. If i connect the GPIO pin to the 3.3v source on the headers, will that be violated? Feb 01 21:40:50 jayzus! Feb 01 22:06:11 Yo, has anybody here connected to the bone over tty? Feb 01 23:08:33 whats the easiest way to get a text file that contains a single 6 digit number into an integer variable using python Feb 01 23:08:52 For example, pressure data for the beagle bone weather cape is located in a text file at /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/1-0077/pressure0_input and i would like to manipulate the data Feb 01 23:53:15 maverickbb: value = int(open('filename').read().strip()) Feb 02 02:04:16 agmlego|skynet: awesome! I'll have to figure out why it works! Feb 02 02:10:29 int() turns things into integers. open() opens a file, read() reads all data from the file, and strip() removes all leading and trailing whitespace, which causes problems for int() Feb 02 02:17:57 got it, perfect Feb 02 02:29:43 maverickbb: also, i strongly recommend either following the tutorials on python.org, or getting the two o'reilly python books; this is a pretty basic thjng you will need to know for yourself if you intend to do much with python. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Feb 02 02:59:58 2015
