Feb 23 05:29:54 <Felix1942> Hello?
Feb 23 05:30:34 <Felix1942> can anyone help me I'm having trouble with the beagle bone black rev c
Feb 23 10:53:18 <Saadat> Hello.
Feb 23 11:59:15 <Saadat> Hello.
Feb 23 12:00:24 <tbr> http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Feb 23 13:25:34 <Catslab> Hi
Feb 23 13:30:20 <woglinde> jo
Feb 23 13:31:57 <Catslab> did someone already have errors with app armor and raid6 during kernel compilation ?
Feb 23 13:33:07 <woglinde> 2.11.2?
Feb 23 13:33:35 <Catslab> I'm trying 3.14 kernel from robert depot
Feb 23 13:37:08 <Catslab> well anyway I dont't think I'll need raid on the BBB :)
Feb 23 13:37:13 <woglinde> hmm app armor okay, but where do you need raid6?
Feb 23 13:37:42 <woglinde> just disable it in your kernel-config
Feb 23 13:38:23 <Catslab> I'm trying to cross compile a kernel on OSX and Robert asked me to make a report.
Feb 23 13:38:31 <woglinde> hm ah okay
Feb 23 13:38:57 <Catslab> so first I try straight, then I'll switch off options failing
Feb 23 13:39:07 <Catslab> but can't figure out why on osx it's failing
Feb 23 13:39:46 <Catslab> need to do a diff of the configs I have under debian and osx
Feb 23 13:41:29 <woglinde> uhm that should not differ
Feb 23 13:41:59 <Catslab> yes, they should be se same as it's a copy from debconfig from the repo
Feb 23 13:42:39 <Catslab> but apparmor compilation trows out an error when generating capability_names.sh
Feb 23 14:44:09 <Ranandar> Anyone here?
Feb 23 14:44:43 <thurgood_> nope, no one
Feb 23 14:44:50 <Catslab> some kind of ;)
Feb 23 14:45:04 <av500> one ghosts
Feb 23 14:45:56 <NishanthMenon> cute
Feb 23 14:45:57 <Ranandar> Just plugged a BB in this morning, first time. How do you get a Linux command prompt
Feb 23 14:45:59 <Ranandar> ?
Feb 23 14:46:27 <antleo> can someone please help me understand the fragments in the overlay? we are attempting to get pins "P8.7", 	"P8.8", 	"P8.9",  	"P8.10",  	"P8.11",  	"P8.12",  	"P8.13",  	"P8.14
Feb 23 14:46:38 <woglinde> Ranandar via serial console
Feb 23 14:46:38 <antleo> to work
Feb 23 14:46:54 <antleo> can you elaborate?
Feb 23 14:47:29 <woglinde> antleo which kernel version?
Feb 23 14:47:39 <NishanthMenon> Ranandar, http://beagleboard.org/support/faq#Serial http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Accessories#Serial_Debug_Cables
Feb 23 14:47:56 <woglinde> NishanthMenon notice the only two BB
Feb 23 14:48:04 <woglinde> not 3
Feb 23 14:48:06 <NishanthMenon> woglinde, true
Feb 23 14:48:25 <NishanthMenon> woglinde, faq is still
Feb 23 14:48:26 <woglinde> but serial cable is the life safer
Feb 23 14:48:31 <woglinde> always
Feb 23 14:48:38 <NishanthMenon> ack
Feb 23 14:51:16 <Ranandar> So.. I need to purchase another cable?
Feb 23 14:51:27 <antleo_> someone broke the computer i was on(lost everything i was working on) can someone explain again how to use the fragments in the DT overlays
Feb 23 14:52:30 <woglinde> antleo_ uh
Feb 23 14:52:38 <woglinde> antleo which kernel version?
Feb 23 14:53:08 <antleo_> debian
Feb 23 14:54:27 <woglinde> debian is a linux distribution, no kernel version
Feb 23 14:54:47 <Ranandar> Is there a way to access Linux command prompt through the USB ports or do I need to purchase FTDI cable?
Feb 23 14:54:57 <woglinde> antleo was your supervisor really sure to give you the task?
Feb 23 14:55:43 <woglinde> Ranandar if you are lucky and the network settings are correct you can connect the borad via usb-net with ssh
Feb 23 14:56:08 <woglinde> Ranandar and again do you have a beagleboard or beaglebone black?
Feb 23 14:56:43 <Ranandar> woglinde, how can I tell?
Feb 23 14:57:22 <woglinde> Ranandar look at your delivery documents?
Feb 23 14:57:22 <Ranandar> Oh.. Black
Feb 23 14:57:32 <Ranandar> Black
Feb 23 14:57:42 <woglinde> okay yes by FTDI cable
Feb 23 14:57:48 <woglinde> ups compatible
Feb 23 14:58:01 <woglinde> make sure it has at least a 3,3v line
Feb 23 14:58:17 <woglinde> I have some cheap chinese with cp21x chipset which works okay
Feb 23 14:58:33 <woglinde> and I can switch btw 3,3V and 5V
Feb 23 14:58:53 <woglinde> so its time to go home
Feb 23 14:58:58 <woglinde> till later maybee
Feb 23 14:59:35 <Ranandar> Thanks woglinde. The cable costs more than I paid for the BB. Back in the box it goes.
Feb 23 15:00:21 <antleo_> this is a school project, this is something we chose to do figuring this would be easy because we understand java relatively well.
Feb 23 15:00:58 <woglinde> Ranandar uhm? my was 5 euros 8 with shipping
Feb 23 15:01:13 <woglinde> antleo hm bbb is not the JAVA development box
Feb 23 15:01:37 <woglinde> all arm devices have relative slow java  jvm
Feb 23 15:02:09 <woglinde> but that does not hinder my company to make a product with java and a tegra3 boars
Feb 23 15:02:10 <Ranandar> I will look on eBay, maybe find cheaper. thanks
Feb 23 15:02:16 <woglinde> I meant board
Feb 23 15:02:28 <woglinde> Ranandar rpi version 2?
Feb 23 15:02:29 <antleo_> ya we realize that. we wanted the gpi and were originally gunna use android, but werent sure we could get the gpio through android
Feb 23 15:03:02 <woglinde> antleo_ uhm android makes no sense on the bbb in my opinion
Feb 23 15:03:15 <woglinde> so now I am really gone
Feb 23 15:04:09 <woglinde> antleo ask rcn-ee later if he comes online about the gpio's and until that figure out which kernel version you have or want
Feb 23 15:04:11 <antleo_> thats why we switched to debian linux. and right now we are dead in the water until we get our other computer up and running so i cant get the kernel version or anything
Feb 23 15:04:19 <woglinde> ah okay
Feb 23 15:04:21 <woglinde> sorry
Feb 23 15:04:50 <antleo_> right now i just need to figure out the whole fragment part in the device tree overlay
Feb 23 15:05:59 <antleo_> if anyone can help thatd be awesome
Feb 23 15:11:04 <antleo_> anyone?
Feb 23 15:11:53 <av500> so what do you want to do?
Feb 23 15:11:56 <av500> query a GPIO?
Feb 23 15:12:07 <av500> the internet is full of instructions on how to do that on a BBB
Feb 23 15:12:46 <av500> https://www.google.com/search?q=bbb+gpio
Feb 23 15:12:47 <antleo_> i have the pins and everything set, but i can not seem to figure out how to do the fragments.
Feb 23 15:13:18 <av500> doesnt stock BBB have gpios enabled?
Feb 23 16:23:28 <Nekhrist> hi
Feb 23 16:44:17 <doc_> Hi, what is the difference between flasher and normal image
Feb 23 16:44:50 <doc_> helllo
Feb 23 16:45:47 <KaaK> doc_, the flasher image will write itself to the eMMC so you can boot without needing the SD card
Feb 23 16:47:26 <doc_> KaaK, it is like installing linux on pc ?
Feb 23 16:48:30 <doc_> KaaK, and the other, we just boot from it? like live CD ?
Feb 23 16:48:39 <KaaK> doc_, similar yeah. If you follow the analog, then the flasher is the installer CDROM, and the eMMC is the destination hard drive.
Feb 23 16:48:58 <KaaK> its not a perfect analog, but works well here
Feb 23 16:49:22 <KaaK> the biggest constraint is that your eMMC is only 2GB (or 4GB if its the latest revision)
Feb 23 16:50:11 <KaaK> If you want a full-blown desktop environment complete with GUI, you're likely going to want to stick to the SD card
Feb 23 16:51:49 <KaaK> the eMMC can still be very nice for lean applications or applications needing the reliability of non-removable storage.
Feb 23 16:54:08 <doc_> KaaK, So, if I understand, I use flasher if I want to install OS in eMMC, and I use normal if I want to use microSD. that is right ?
Feb 23 16:55:52 <KaaK> doc_, that's correct
Feb 23 16:55:55 <doc_> OK, and what OS you advice me to use ?
Feb 23 16:56:40 <KaaK> Debian Wheezy -- you'll find the most support in terms of community and tools
Feb 23 16:58:08 <doc_> by the way, i was using debian, but when i connect to internet and use apt-get update, the bbb hungs
Feb 23 16:58:59 <doc_> i tty it for several times
Feb 23 16:59:02 <KaaK> doc_, how are you piping in internet? Over ethernet? usb (wifi?) usb?
Feb 23 16:59:19 <doc_> wifi + hdmi monitor
Feb 23 16:59:56 <KaaK> really could be a ton of things -- really about the best I can offer for advice is a general approach
Feb 23 17:00:12 <KaaK> start testing your network connectivity as local as possible, and work your way out
Feb 23 17:00:42 <geekswine> hii... i m trying to setup starterware on BBB but while executing "make" command..got this error http://pastebin.com/vigSLmm6  problem is that the file does exists at the location...
Feb 23 17:00:49 <KaaK> i.e. ping yourself, ping your gateway, ping an internet ip (google's dns works great for this, 8.8.8.8)
Feb 23 17:00:50 <geekswine> please help !!!
Feb 23 17:01:27 <doc_> when updating it starts an goes for 40% (50%) and after it hangs
Feb 23 17:01:45 <KaaK> next up, you can troubleshoot dns issues with nslookup -- perhaps you're just not resolving names
Feb 23 17:01:54 <KaaK> doc_, can you pastebin the output?
Feb 23 17:03:30 <doc_> KaaK, there is no strange output, it is incrementing % as in linux, but the whole card hungs and I can not do any thing, just reboot
Feb 23 17:04:21 <doc_> maybe i should use eth?
Feb 23 17:05:28 <KaaK> doc_, that sounds like a good alternative -- usb can be persnickity and its a good variable to eliminate
Feb 23 17:06:23 <KaaK> doc_, additionally, if you've got a 3.3V FTDI cable handy, you can plug into the debug header next to the P9 connector.
Feb 23 17:06:42 <KaaK> any kernel crashes/issues/dumps _should_ be printed out there
Feb 23 17:06:57 <doc_> kaak, ok i ll do
Feb 23 17:07:31 <doc_> other problem, sorry, i can not make bb-view 7inch lcd working
Feb 23 17:09:41 <ghosty> Hi guys. I'm looking for some help in installing the 'tree' command to my 2012.12 Angstrom running on the original Beaglebone Rev. A6. opkg reports an "unknown package" when doing the opkg install tree. Can someone point me to a repository where I could find the package or perhaps to a set of instructions on how to instal it? Much appreciate it.
Feb 23 17:11:06 <KaaK> doc_, I wish i could help out there, I've not dealt much with the LCD capes. Just guessing, you're not getting the proper device tree loaded.
Feb 23 17:11:43 <kilroy> @ghosty:  download, ./configure, make, make install
Feb 23 17:11:53 <KaaK> The device tree is how the kernel receives its configuration about platform devices (like LCDs)
Feb 23 17:12:31 <rcn-ee> doc_, the bb-view needs a patch that breaks every other lcd...
Feb 23 17:12:56 <doc_> rcn-ee, how to use it ?
Feb 23 17:13:14 <rcn-ee> you'll have to rebuild the kernel: you just need to comment out this line: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/blob/am33x-v3.8/patch.sh#L1002
Feb 23 17:13:36 <rcn-ee> Just follow my full writeup here: https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
Feb 23 17:13:48 <rcn-ee> .../comment/uncomment
Feb 23 17:14:32 <ghosty> @kilroy: thanks. Will try to find where to download it. haeing the name 'tree' doesn't make it the easiest to find.
Feb 23 17:15:22 <rcn-ee> ghosty, http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/
Feb 23 17:16:00 <doc_> rcn-ee,   KaaK, thx a lot u r great men... i ll check it out. thank you
Feb 23 17:16:07 <ghosty> @rcn-ee: Got it. Much obliged.
Feb 23 17:18:14 <abhich> i have a question regarding cross compilation... anyone here ?
Feb 23 17:19:11 <abhich> how can i cross compile a makefile ?
Feb 23 17:20:25 <rcn-ee> one doesn't "cross compile" a makefile... a makefile is used by "make" to "something"...
Feb 23 17:21:51 <abhich> i meant cross compiling using a makefile...
Feb 23 17:23:04 <rcn-ee> so: make CROSS_COMPILE=<binary to cross gcc> <target>
Feb 23 17:24:03 <KaaK> abhich, unless you're compiling some monster project -- just compile it on the hardware, or in an emulator
Feb 23 17:24:51 <KaaK> the hardest part of cross-compiling (in my experiance) is not the act of cross-compiling, but managing multi-arch libraries that your project needs to link against
Feb 23 17:25:37 <KaaK> if you're compiling in an emulator or on the hardware, you can always just apt-get (assuming debian here) your build dependencies
Feb 23 17:25:51 <KaaK> or whatever pacakge manager you're running with
Feb 23 17:32:48 <kilroy> @ghosty: try http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/tree/tree_1.6.0.orig.tar.gz
Feb 23 17:38:40 <Seren> hi can someone help me
Feb 23 17:48:53 <geekswine> http://pastebin.com/vigSLmm6 any help with this ??
Feb 23 17:52:40 <rcn-ee> geekswine, /bin/sh: 1: /home/vinit/cmpt433/linaro-gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2012q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: not found
Feb 23 17:52:48 <rcn-ee> doublecheck it's actulally there and the correct path..
Feb 23 17:55:23 <geekswine> this exists there.../home/vinit/cmpt433/linaro-gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2012q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc
Feb 23 17:55:59 <geekswine> i have cross checked it twice..:(
Feb 23 17:56:43 <rcn-ee> so: /home/vinit/cmpt433/linaro-gcc/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_7-2012q4/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
Feb 23 17:59:16 <geekswine> it says no such file or directory
Feb 23 17:59:47 <rcn-ee> did you install the 32bit libs?
Feb 23 18:00:22 <rcn-ee> ubuntu/debian: sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libncurses5:i386 zlib1g:i386
Feb 23 18:01:09 <geekswine> no..i am following this tutorial http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CourseCentral/433/bfraser/other/BareMetalGuide.pdf
Feb 23 18:01:18 <geekswine> ok..i'll do it..
Feb 23 18:02:22 <rcn-ee> "Note: This guide has not yet been tested in the SFU Surrey Linux Lab (SUR4080). Some changes may be needed."  installing 32bit libs is one of those..
Feb 23 18:04:35 <geekswine> rcn-ee: its working..:) thanks for the help !!! :)
Feb 23 18:05:11 <rcn-ee> no problem.; )
Feb 23 19:41:45 <Catslab> rcn-ee: Tried to compile 3.14 under osx in a mounted image... got troubles with raid6 module eneven disabled :)
Feb 23 20:02:51 <iloveanimals> can you tell me is a beagle a good breed
Feb 23 20:10:35 <_av500_> yes
Feb 23 20:20:09 <knob> Definitely.
Feb 23 20:20:12 <knob> Excellent unit.
Feb 23 20:35:27 <veremit> Catslab .. you're running raid ona beagle .. ^5 lol !
Feb 23 20:48:57 <Catslab> veremit: nah
Feb 23 20:49:08 <Catslab> I'm just trying to compile kernel on osx
Feb 23 20:49:18 <Catslab> with the default config
Feb 23 20:49:39 <Catslab> buy I could raid a bunch of SD cards :)
Feb 23 20:49:54 <Catslab> anyone good at pruss instructions ?
Feb 23 20:53:12 <Catslab> I'm trying to read inputs and test bits but looks like I'm failing
Feb 23 20:56:18 <Catslab> call me dumb
Feb 23 20:56:52 <Catslab> forgot to zero the register between each read... :)
Feb 23 20:59:39 <MMisiek75> Hello, I am looking for GPS module wirkign with Beaglebone XM
Feb 23 20:59:55 <MMisiek75> and accelometer/gyro working as well
Feb 23 21:03:15 <Catslab> any gps with uart could work
Feb 23 21:04:23 <Catslab> accelerometer/gyro i would say spi or i2c
Feb 23 21:04:42 <Catslab> check derek molloy web site I think he did something wyth a gyro
Feb 23 21:05:45 <rcn-ee> it helps to also reference mainline, just to see which ones are supported: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/iio/accel
Feb 23 21:05:53 <rcn-ee> https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/iio/gyro
Feb 23 21:06:29 <Catslab> BMA810 i2c I think is working
Feb 23 21:06:50 <rcn-ee> yeap, that's one of them..
Feb 23 21:08:44 <Catslab> rcn-ee: about osx compilation.... git without case sentitive is compiling fine, on a case sensitive system, it's throwing out errors on apparmor... I had no time to investigate that much, but looks like a file is not well generated
Feb 23 21:09:15 <Catslab> security/apparmor/capability_names.h
Feb 23 21:10:08 <yuo_> I am trying to configure mcbsp1 in beagle board-xm interfaced with maxim codec and was wondering if something has already done this?
Feb 23 22:17:01 <theunleet> I bought a Linksys EA6000 wifi dongle, what are the chances of it working on BeagleBone Black?
Feb 23 22:17:30 <theunleet> I don't have any older dongles so I wonder what I have to do to make it work..
Feb 23 22:19:00 <theunleet> I scoured google with no luck. Unless I need to look up how to make it work on the specific kernel I am on?
Feb 23 22:22:59 <rcn-ee> theunleet, based on the win xp driver, it's a rt2870 device...
Feb 23 22:27:10 <theunleet> I'm wondering if I need to blacklist certain other wifi drivers to make a rt2870 device work properly
Feb 23 22:27:41 <theunleet> Like rt2800usb and rt2x00usb
Feb 23 22:28:29 <rcn-ee> from the inf: USB\VID_13B1&PID_003E
Feb 23 22:28:43 <rcn-ee> i don't see it.. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c?id=refs/tags/v4.0-rc1#n1083
Feb 23 22:30:15 <theunleet> Line 1434 I start seeing stuff about rt2870 based devices
Feb 23 22:32:55 <theunleet> looks like i need to blacklist rt2800usb, rt2x00usb, and rt2x00lib
Feb 23 22:37:01 <theunleet> Yeah no idea...
Feb 23 23:12:39 <theunleet> its loading mt7601Usta under lsmod instead of rt2870
Feb 23 23:21:20 <joe____> hello helprs
