Mar 03 03:00:21 <sgp667> Hey guys can anyone tell me why beaglebone loves(in my case) to Hard Block WiFi dongles?
Mar 03 03:00:56 <sgp667> I thought it was a power supply issue but I am connected from my pc n adapter and it still is an issue
Mar 03 03:01:19 <GenTooMan> you just access it via a serial port their is a very good terminal program for linux (looks) try minicom? https://alioth.debian.org/projects/minicom/
Mar 03 03:01:43 <imzack> okay sweet
Mar 03 03:01:50 <imzack> I'll give minicom a shot
Mar 03 03:01:53 <imzack> thank you!
Mar 03 03:02:45 <GenTooMan> your welcome but you need to hook up serial stuff and minicom should find them. I believe baud rate is 115.2k 8n1
Mar 03 03:03:20 <imzack> gotcha, okay
Mar 03 03:03:26 <imzack> and thats an odd baud rate, but okay
Mar 03 03:03:31 <imzack> I'll give that a go
Mar 03 03:03:55 <GenTooMan> 115200 baud was the fastest the old PC would go?
Mar 03 03:05:29 <GenTooMan> See here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial
Mar 03 03:05:32 <imzack> Ive only used um, 9600 I belive
Mar 03 03:05:57 <imzack> ahhh, gotcha
Mar 03 03:05:58 <imzack> sweet
Mar 03 03:06:57 <GenTooMan> It should work 9600 to 115200 with autobauding but the debug port I used that for my original 2 beagle boards
Mar 03 03:07:32 <GenTooMan> I forget what the default login port setup was it's been a while :D I use to have a VT220 no I are one (smirk)
Mar 03 03:08:14 <imzack> Okay, ill try to figure it out.... What type of info will the debug port give me?
Mar 03 03:10:24 <GenTooMan> http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Terminal_Shells ? you may want to carefully read through this http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack
Mar 03 03:10:40 <imzack> sounds good, will do
Mar 03 03:10:42 <GenTooMan> LOTS of links bit wordy but helpful
Mar 03 03:10:50 <imzack> Thank y ou again! =D
Mar 03 03:11:16 <GenTooMan> Well you prolly have a lot of work to do. THE HDMI problem has usually to do with the cable some cables don't work apparently
Mar 03 03:12:18 <GenTooMan> I'm just a little less ignorant than the average guy honestly.
Mar 03 03:12:39 <GenTooMan> (goes back to working with KiCAD)
Mar 03 03:12:42 <imzack> Okay, I have another one on order... hopefully this new one will work.
Mar 03 03:16:04 <Necrosporus> GenTooMan, this page mentions putty, but it's not quite good as for me
Mar 03 03:16:20 <Necrosporus> maybe there's a page describing other terminal emulators?
Mar 03 03:16:34 <Necrosporus> I have tried minicom and picocom
Mar 03 03:17:14 <Necrosporus> the latter is quite good but it doesn't have an option to set stop bit thing, even though it's not needed form my uses
Mar 03 03:18:23 <GenTooMan> I used minicom for years not sure GTK based terminal emulators. I ran minicom in rxvt actually.
Mar 03 03:19:33 <Necrosporus> GenTooMan, try picocom
Mar 03 03:19:40 <Necrosporus> it seems better
Mar 03 03:19:58 <Necrosporus> it doesn't use pseudographics
Mar 03 03:22:26 <GenTooMan> Well as I said minicom I'm familiar with. Hmmm seems like a big need for linux is a quality version of realterm
Mar 03 03:23:14 <GenTooMan> http://realterm.sourceforge.net/
Mar 03 03:23:45 <GenTooMan> It's not a great program but it does work and is good for debugging serial devices over the network or using a serial port.
Mar 03 03:23:54 <Necrosporus> GenTooMan, seems to be too complex
Mar 03 03:24:10 <Necrosporus> minicom seems better
Mar 03 03:24:11 <GenTooMan> Yes very complex didn't say it was great did I? :D
Mar 03 03:24:30 <GenTooMan> Useful for specific types of jobs.
Mar 03 03:24:47 <GenTooMan> Time to sleep me thinks
Mar 03 03:25:12 <Necrosporus> there is also socat
Mar 03 04:12:21 <ds2> 9

Mar 03 04:23:37 <nerdboy> "3 is the number to be counted..."
Mar 03 07:20:17 <valu> hello
Mar 03 07:21:08 <valu> i'm developed an android app
Mar 03 07:21:24 <valu> related to beaglebone black
Mar 03 07:21:54 <valu> but when i'm running the application
Mar 03 07:22:23 <valu> the deviceiterator value should be null
Mar 03 07:22:40 <valu> can anyone help me
Mar 03 07:24:16 <av500> the what?
Mar 03 07:24:19 <tbr> how does that relate to the BBB?
Mar 03 07:25:02 <valu> usb cable
Mar 03 07:25:19 <valu> and my app should run on the bbb
Mar 03 07:25:33 <tbr> so the bbb runs android?
Mar 03 07:25:49 <valu> yes
Mar 03 07:25:58 <av500> ah, its the usual guy
Mar 03 07:26:38 <av500> but a week hasnt passed!
Mar 03 07:26:56 <valu> here i'm appending the code also
Mar 03 07:27:14 <valu> public class MainActivity extends Activity { 	private static final String ACTION_USB_PERMISSION = 		    "com.android.example.USB_PERMISSION"; 	PendingIntent mPermissionIntent; 	UsbDevice device; 	@Override 	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 		setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 		 		 		 		 		UsbManager manager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE); 		 		HashMa
Mar 03 07:27:17 <tbr> do NOT
Mar 03 07:27:24 <tbr> there is pastebin for that
Mar 03 07:27:36 <valu> ?
Mar 03 07:27:43 <av500> pastebin.com
Mar 03 07:27:47 <tbr> av500: beware, his fluxcompensator is uncalibrated in the BBB
Mar 03 07:32:47 <valu> is the above code is correct
Mar 03 07:35:04 <av500> there is no above code, just gibberish
Mar 03 07:35:35 <av500> even if it was working, what would you do with it?
Mar 03 07:38:58 <valu> i'm running it on bbb
Mar 03 07:41:42 <av500> yes, we know all that
Mar 03 07:57:49 <valu> really
Mar 03 08:40:16 <hitman_> what c function i can use to direct an 8 bit output ti I2C ?
Mar 03 09:06:55 <adj> ioctl
Mar 03 10:20:08 <vlad94> Hello!
Mar 03 10:20:42 <vlad94> I want go take part in Google Summer of code. Where should I propose a project to Beagle?
Mar 03 10:28:22 <woglinde> vlad94 look at the gsoc website?
Mar 03 10:28:32 <woglinde> vlad94 ask on the beagle-gsoc mailinglist?
Mar 03 10:28:44 <Mikaela> they ping timeouted
Mar 03 10:29:00 <woglinde> Mikaela whom?
Mar 03 10:29:37 <Mikaela> 2015-03-03 12:27:07+0200 <-- vlad94 (8d550062@gateway/web/freenode/ip.141.85.0.98) has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
Mar 03 10:34:49 <woglinde> ah sorry
Mar 03 10:34:50 <woglinde> okay
Mar 03 10:58:21 <giya> BBB connection via usb cable
Mar 03 10:59:24 <ogra_> always a good thin
Mar 03 10:59:25 <giya> is that anyone have any idea
Mar 03 10:59:26 <ogra_> g
Mar 03 11:00:18 <giya> usb detection
Mar 03 11:00:31 <giya> of the connected device
Mar 03 11:01:02 <ogra_> speaking in whole
Mar 03 11:01:14 <ogra_> sentences would
Mar 03 11:01:24 <ogra_> really help here
Mar 03 11:02:52 <woglinde> ogra_ I think its same guy that is asking every day
Mar 03 11:03:18 <ogra_> a cronned bot ? :)
Mar 03 11:03:36 <tbr> yeah, he needs to face the fact, that he will never be able to calibrate the fluxcompensator on his BBB
Mar 03 11:03:53 <giya> hello guys help me
Mar 03 11:04:36 <woglinde> ogra_ no one which do not understand or accept our advises
Mar 03 11:04:47 <woglinde> gm tbr
Mar 03 11:04:51 <ogra_> like a bot ;)
Mar 03 11:04:52 <tbr> moo woglinde
Mar 03 11:07:44 <giya> is that any one have a mentality to help me
Mar 03 11:08:03 <tbr> we all tried, you ignored our advice
Mar 03 11:08:26 <giya> i dnt understand anything
Mar 03 11:08:46 <giya> what is the fluxcompensator
Mar 03 11:08:55 <giya> on BBB
Mar 03 11:09:16 <tbr> it's the part that makes ADK connections work
Mar 03 11:09:28 <giya> k
Mar 03 11:09:42 <tbr> you can make them work without it too
Mar 03 11:09:57 <tbr> but for that you need to actually learn something
Mar 03 11:10:08 <giya> ya
Mar 03 11:10:14 <tbr> asking for exact steps does not work
Mar 03 11:10:15 <giya> i know that
Mar 03 11:10:43 <giya> give me a tutorial or any other source
Mar 03 11:10:52 <giya> to learn that part
Mar 03 11:11:46 <bwarff_> sounds like more of an adroid problem than a beagle problem
Mar 03 11:11:58 <giya> all are gone
Mar 03 11:12:10 <giya> all are gone
Mar 03 11:12:13 <tbr> bwarff_: he wants to do some sort of ADK thing, at least that's what he's been saying the last few days
Mar 03 11:13:37 <bwarff_> i wonder if android people might have more ermm, clues, for him. i only do linux on my beagles.
Mar 03 11:14:11 <giya> my problem is when i'm connected the BBB to my phone
Mar 03 11:14:57 <giya> the detection is not occuring in my app
Mar 03 11:16:06 <giya> is that any solution for this
Mar 03 11:16:22 <giya> all are gone
Mar 03 11:16:29 <giya> what is dis?
Mar 03 11:17:38 <tbr> bwarff_: the device side of ADK you can run on traditional linux just fine AFAIU
Mar 03 11:20:01 <bwarff_> fair enough.
Mar 03 11:51:49 <giya> tbr: Had any work related to this
Mar 03 11:55:26 <tbr> giya: you want to pay for this or what?
Mar 03 11:57:13 <giya> don't misunderstand i just ask only
Mar 03 11:57:33 <giya> tbr : don't misunderstand i just ask only
Mar 03 12:04:24 <cityoflights2> I sure wish I could make the BBB use BTRFS instead of ext4
Mar 03 12:06:09 <ogra_> did btrfs get usable on SD cards ?
Mar 03 12:06:25 <ogra_> (it used to crawl in the past)
Mar 03 12:30:37 <tbr> ogra_: it seems to work reasonably well on the jolla eMMC. I guess there is a pile of patches on top of their 3.4 hw adaptation franken-kernel though
Mar 03 12:31:09 <ogra_> yeah, we are all cursed with 3.4 in the mobile business
Mar 03 12:31:42 <tbr> ogra_: you missed tim's presentation during ELCE in dus, right?
Mar 03 12:31:47 <ogra_> i must admit i havent looked at BTRFS in a long time but back when i looked last even booting a cli system took munites
Mar 03 12:31:55 <tbr> it was painful to see the numbers :/
Mar 03 12:31:55 <ogra_> *minutes
Mar 03 12:32:19 <tbr> cityoflights2: all it should take is to compile it in and making sure that the kernel is _recent_
Mar 03 12:32:27 <tbr> unless you want to go through backport hell
Mar 03 12:32:34 <ogra_> yeah, i wasnt in DUS ... sadly i nearly always have to travel if there are any interesting summits :/
Mar 03 12:33:24 <tbr> he showed numbers on patches in frankenkernels, apparently QC vendor kernels frequently diverge from vanilla by >1M patches
Mar 03 12:33:57 <ogra_> ah, yeah ... and they are then also usually based on android, not mainline
Mar 03 12:34:25 <ogra_> so you have vanilla+android+bsp patches
Mar 03 12:34:32 <ogra_> on an old version
Mar 03 12:34:36 <tbr> plus odm plus this plus that
Mar 03 12:34:51 <ogra_> yeah
Mar 03 12:35:43 <tbr> I wonder how much effort could be saved if fixes would make it upstream and soc vendor BSPs would keep up with that...
Mar 03 12:36:05 <tbr> it's not /that/ hard, but seems to be a management problem
Mar 03 12:36:11 <ogra_> yep
Mar 03 12:36:16 <ogra_> also a secrecy one
Mar 03 12:36:36 <ogra_> they dont want to reveal hw info before the hw goes on sale
Mar 03 12:37:13 <ogra_> so they have to work in their small corner anyway ... without peer reviews etc
Mar 03 12:37:24 <ogra_> (at least none from upstream)
Mar 03 12:39:52 <tbr> that could also be dealt with by rebasing / tracking upstream
Mar 03 12:40:13 <tbr> the problem is they fork upstream because they don't understand how to do it properly
Mar 03 12:40:54 <tbr> also there is not that much secret sauce in architecture patches, but that's another management problem
Mar 03 12:41:45 <tbr> interesting enough intel seems to have grokd that years ago and usually cpu specific stuff is upstream before day 1
Mar 03 12:48:47 <ogra_> yeah
Mar 03 12:51:25 <tbr> so instead of spending the money once in one place the cost is shifted downward in the food-chain in the form of technical debt and cleanup cost to get a working product
Mar 03 12:51:33 <tbr> everybody loses
Mar 03 12:51:45 <tbr> buty hey, the silly-cone was 1¢ cheaper
Mar 03 12:53:25 <ogra_> haha, yeah
Mar 03 14:39:08 <cityoflights2> does anyone here uses connman
Mar 03 14:39:27 <cityoflights2> I seem to have found a bug in network manager
Mar 03 14:44:12 <Mishrak> can any one tell me, which protocols are supported by beaglebone black ?
Mar 03 14:47:02 <Catslab> morning here
Mar 03 14:48:09 <Mishrak> can you tell me, which an all protocols are supported by beaglebone black ?
Mar 03 14:59:26 <sidharbel> hi, i have an issue with trying to restore an image taken from another beaglebone black.
Mar 03 15:01:34 <sidharbel> I copied the eMMC by using the beaglebone black save emmc files. this works ok and i get the .img.gz file ok. but i followed the procedure to restore this and it doesnt work
Mar 03 15:03:02 <sidharbel> i have the ".img.gz" file on the SD card and it says to edit the autorun.ch file and i used the settings as shown on the beaglebone help page
Mar 03 15:03:12 <sidharbel> anyone able to help with this?
Mar 03 15:27:37 <gabrbedd> Is the meta-beagleboard at https://github.com/beagleboard/meta-beagleboard abandoned, or has it moved?
Mar 03 15:30:06 <rcn-ee> gabrbedd, no one at bb.org is working on Angstrom anymore, if someone is interested in picking it up, we can certainly merge it in..
Mar 03 15:30:51 <gabrbedd> rcn-ee: you guys use... debian?
Mar 03 15:31:21 <rcn-ee> gabrbedd, koen has updates here thou: https://github.com/koenkooi/meta-beagleboard/commits/master
Mar 03 15:31:24 * gabrbedd tried Yocto/dizzy yesterday and USB didn't work on the BBB.
Mar 03 15:31:35 <gabrbedd> rcn-ee: thanks!
Mar 03 15:31:37 <rcn-ee> gabrbedd, i'm the one maintaining the debian rootfs. ;)
Mar 03 15:34:06 <gabrbedd> rcn-ee: thanks!
Mar 03 16:01:33 <ddrown> rcn-ee: I have 3.8.13-bone70.5 running, and the PPS module works. Thanks!
Mar 03 16:02:14 <rcn-ee> ddrown, cool! glad to hear!
Mar 03 16:03:45 <ddrown> System time     : 0.000000011 seconds fast of NTP time
Mar 03 16:03:45 <ddrown> Frequency       : 0.154 ppm fast
Mar 03 16:03:46 <ddrown> :)
Mar 03 16:57:52 <nerdboy> if anyone figures out which ADK stack works with what they should document it...
Mar 03 17:01:14 <aliam> Hey guys! I came here from the GSOC project idea list. Is there anyone here who can assist me? I would like to ask a few questions about a project listed for GSOC2015. :)
Mar 03 17:02:13 <rcn-ee> aliam, switch to #beagle-gsoc (lots going on there.) ;)
Mar 03 17:02:29 <aliam> Thanks rcn-ee! :)
Mar 03 17:16:47 <GEitBitW_> Hello everybody!
Mar 03 17:23:56 <GEitBitW_> I was wondering if anyone has used bluetooth on their BBB?
Mar 03 17:34:15 <geekswine_> does anybody has idea of writing code in starterware ?? i have doubt in one of the macro definition..anybody ??
Mar 03 19:20:23 <Catslab> rcn-ee: RTC cape got trouble on ti 3.14 ;(  pin already requested by P9_17_pinmux.19
Mar 03 19:39:13 <SIMON_R> Hey guys
Mar 03 19:39:23 <SIMON_R> could I ask a question?
Mar 03 19:40:47 <SIMON_R> Ok, I read the never ask to ask :p sorry
Mar 03 19:41:27 <Catslab> ahaha
Mar 03 19:42:33 <SIMON_R> Could anyone explain me how to see a file on my windows computer, that has been created on the beaglebone itself. I made a csv file with some measurements that I would like to read with Excel but I can't see it in Windows
Mar 03 19:47:57 <Catslab> copy it to your windows box
Mar 03 19:48:06 <Catslab> or use the http server on your BBB
Mar 03 20:04:25 <rcn-ee> Catslab, we need a hint in the dts to ignore that pin..
Mar 03 20:05:40 <Catslab> I put &ocp { P9_17_pinmux { status = "disabled" }; };
Mar 03 20:05:48 <Catslab> and it's working fine
Mar 03 20:13:20 <rcn-ee> thanks Catslab, just merged that change into the next snapshot..
Mar 03 20:16:48 <tholm> rcn-ee:  HDMI Audio is working on PandaBoard? --> 3.18.5-armv7-x2 release
Mar 03 20:17:56 <rcn-ee> sorry tholm, haven't tried that in a long time... what does alsa-utils show?
Mar 03 20:21:17 <tholm> rcn-ee: I didn't test it but let me see if it works.
Mar 03 20:21:54 <rcn-ee> for awhile, it was getting every attention every release on mainline..
Mar 03 20:22:53 <tholm> ok.
Mar 03 20:32:48 <_ssl> where can i find the changelogs of the debian images? the wikipage where you can download them isn't very helpful in that regard :(
Mar 03 20:33:49 <rcn-ee> _ssl, depends, which two images are you comparing?
Mar 03 20:34:29 <_ssl> newest (2015-03-01) with 2015-01-06
Mar 03 20:34:55 <rcn-ee> console/lxde/lxqt?
Mar 03 20:35:04 <_ssl> console
Mar 03 20:36:35 <rcn-ee> _ssl, it properly shuts down when you hit the power button, udev rule for the ttyO -> ttS change, updated kernel with fixes, newer u-boot with fixes..
Mar 03 20:37:35 <rcn-ee> Just watching the changelog is the best indication: https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/commits/master
Mar 03 20:38:32 <rcn-ee> then in your case, just watch out for: 'bb.org: console: xyz' commits..
Mar 03 20:40:06 <_ssl> cool, thank you! thats what i was looking for
Mar 03 21:21:15 <Catslab> rcn-ee: I'm stupid, add P9_18_pinmux { status = "disabled" }; too for the rtc cape
Mar 03 21:21:34 <Catslab> it needs the 2 pins :)
Mar 03 21:21:57 <rcn-ee> not a problme. ;)
Mar 03 21:25:06 <rcn-ee> Catslab, that's the i2c bus... can't belive i missed that..
Mar 03 21:25:59 <Catslab> rcn-ee: who's using it anayway ? :)
Mar 03 21:26:23 <Catslab> that's the i2c-1
Mar 03 21:26:38 <rcn-ee> i was.... before i merged in charles pinmux-thingy..
Mar 03 21:26:56 <Catslab> ehehe
Mar 03 21:27:17 <Catslab> got the pruss working without remoteproc on ti 3.14
Mar 03 21:27:25 <Catslab> had to patch a few things :)
Mar 03 21:28:02 <Catslab> also had to disable a few pins from pinmux to free them for the pru
Mar 03 21:28:05 <rcn-ee> awesome! can't wait to see your changes, i know a lot of user would be interested..
Mar 03 21:28:30 <Catslab> remoteproc looks like too complicated for me
Mar 03 21:30:17 <Catslab> I'll extract a diff from the Kernel git
Mar 03 21:48:46 <cityLights> rcn-ee I see you added kernel 4.0 ?
Mar 03 21:48:57 <cityLights> what is waiting for us?
Mar 03 21:49:23 <cityLights> I now stopped using networkmanager and chnaged to connmn
Mar 03 21:49:41 <mmisiek75> Hello, do you know where I can buy BeagleBone xM with matching LCD extension ? Liquiware shop is not working and I cant contact them.
Mar 03 21:49:51 <cityLights> I think we can add some more info in the wiki, to support common config chores
Mar 03 21:50:30 <shevek> On my BeagleBone Black, I'm trying to compile and run code that uses the PRU; I have done modprobe uio_pruss, the code does prussdrv_init() and then prussdrv_open(PRU_EVTOUT_0) fails with -1.  The tutorials on the web suggest that others don't have this issue.  Am I doing something wrong?
Mar 03 21:52:41 <k1> Hi, I am interested working further on the previous project:  Android Based remote display. I wanted to talk to the possible mentors related to this project. Thanks.
Mar 03 21:53:28 <shevek> errno is set to "no such file or directory".
Mar 03 21:54:39 <shevek> strace shows that it is looking for /sys/class/uio/uio0/maps/map0/addr, but my /sys/class/uio is empty.
Mar 03 22:01:13 <Catslab> shevek: does you main programm in c calls the right compiled pruss program ?
Mar 03 22:01:39 <shevek> It does.  I just found on the web that I need to enable it in the device tree as well.
Mar 03 22:01:48 <Catslab> if you have nothing in /sys/class/uio, your pru need to be initialized
Mar 03 22:01:52 <Catslab> yes
Mar 03 22:01:57 <shevek> It doesn't even get to the stage to load the pru program.
Mar 03 22:02:08 <Catslab> which kernel version ?
Mar 03 22:03:02 <shevek> 3.8.13-bone50
Mar 03 22:03:17 <Catslab> ok with capemanager
Mar 03 22:03:26 <shevek> I see 4 BB-BONE-PRU files in /lib/firmware
Mar 03 22:03:32 <shevek> I suppose I need one of those?
Mar 03 22:04:23 <Catslab> you need to insert is in the capemanager
Mar 03 22:04:30 <Catslab> but don't know exactly which one
Mar 03 22:04:36 <Catslab> I'm not using capemanager
Mar 03 22:04:41 <shevek> I can just try one. :-)
Mar 03 22:05:23 <Catslab> have a look at this page: http://hipstercircuits.com/beaglebone-black-gpio-mux-for-pru-with-device-tree-overlay/
Mar 03 22:07:58 <shevek> It doesn't crash anymore, that's a good start! :-)
Mar 03 22:08:14 <Catslab> yep :)
Mar 03 22:09:25 <shevek> It seemed to me that the PRU can change the state of any GPIO pin when going through the main memory bus, is that correct?  I first thought it could only control it's "own" pins, but those are just faster and easier to reach?
Mar 03 22:10:50 <Catslab> pru can access gpio pins yes, and has some "prefered pins" that can be directly accessed through r30 and r31
Mar 03 22:11:17 <shevek> Ok, then I understood it correctly.  That's great. :-)
Mar 03 22:11:21 <Catslab> yes
Mar 03 22:11:38 <Catslab> if you need fast toggle on pins use direct access
Mar 03 22:11:52 <Catslab> but with LCD or hdmi, the number is limited
Mar 03 22:12:07 <shevek> I don't.  I need accurate timing and many pins for controlling multiple stepper motors.
Mar 03 22:12:31 <shevek> And I prefer to keep the hdmi indeed.
Mar 03 22:14:38 <Catslab> you've got to check the pins available
Mar 03 22:15:24 <shevek> I did.  With only the r30/r31 pins, I don't have enough unless I use hdmi pins.  But with all gpio, I have much more than I need.
Mar 03 22:15:50 <Catslab> yes, you can use both, but gpio access induces a lag
Mar 03 22:16:30 <shevek> What order of magnitude is that?
Mar 03 22:16:51 <Catslab> on top of my head close to ms
Mar 03 22:17:09 <shevek> Oh, that's pretty significant.  Is it constant, or variable?
Mar 03 22:17:21 <Catslab> variable
Mar 03 22:17:43 <shevek> Hmm, that's not so good.  Then perhaps I will disable the hdmi.  I'll look into that, thanks for mentioning it.
Mar 03 22:18:31 <Catslab> np, I ran into trouble trying to use gpio pins so went to direct pru pins, I need only 6 so it's ok with a 16 bits lcd
Mar 03 22:20:45 <shevek> Do you know if abusing the pru serial port by setting and clearing the break condition (to use tx as a regular output) has any delays?
Mar 03 22:21:51 <Catslab> mmm the uart1.tx can only be used as an input on pru
Mar 03 22:22:11 <Catslab> on pru0, uart1.rx is also input only on pru1
Mar 03 22:22:20 <shevek> No, I don't mean the uart of the core, but the uart of the pru itself.
Mar 03 22:22:50 <shevek> Some pins are connected to that uart, and not to any r30/r31 pins.
Mar 03 22:23:15 <Catslab> ah sorry, so don't know at all, never used that
Mar 03 22:23:44 <shevek> Most people probably haven't and I'm guessing that's good for their sanity. :-P
Mar 03 22:24:23 <Catslab> well you can try :)
Mar 03 22:24:29 <shevek> Yes, I think I will. :-)
Mar 03 22:24:35 <Catslab> I had headhaches with pru :)
Mar 03 22:25:03 <shevek> Oh, and there's this gpio with a clock on it, I think it's 3-21; the datasheet says the clock can be disabled, but I can't find anywhere how to do that.
Mar 03 22:25:24 <cityLights> also, I found that intel is now behind this wysiwidi which should soon offer us miracast
Mar 03 22:25:43 <cityLights> I will try this with the ath-9k this weekend
Mar 03 22:25:50 <cityLights> sound promising
Mar 03 22:25:51 <shevek> Then again, that breaks hdmi as well I think...  If I'm not using that, I don't need that pin anyway.
Mar 03 22:29:45 <Catslab> shevek: you can disable in devicetree/capemanager I guess
Mar 03 22:30:10 <shevek> Ah, ok.
Mar 03 22:30:22 <Catslab> ok I'm off to home
Mar 03 22:30:28 <Catslab> good evening
Mar 03 22:30:32 <shevek> Thanks, bye!
Mar 03 23:24:13 <hitman_> how can i output a file to the SPI port ? using C
Mar 03 23:30:28 <bishnu> whats the maximum digital IO speed of beaglebone
Mar 03 23:31:05 <GenTooMan> It depends if a peripheral is available to drive it. For SPI 48mhz is the fixed max clock for example.
Mar 03 23:33:45 <bishnu> yeah.. i was asking about SPI only. thanks @GenTooMan
Mar 03 23:35:52 <GenTooMan> Well you probably should read the data sheet on it carefully. I don't know if you can use an alternate clock with it for different clock rates. I believe it divides down the usb base clock.
Mar 04 01:39:33 <tamarin> Any replicape users?  I'm wondering how it stacks up against Marlin/RAMBo.
Mar 04 01:49:00 <agmlego> tamarin: I believe jkridner has been working withthe SeeMeCNC guys to get better support and stuff going there.
Mar 04 01:49:32 <tamarin> Oh, yea, their little deltas are neat.
Mar 04 01:50:01 <agmlego> Not that little, but yes.,
Mar 04 01:50:09 <tamarin> ... not that little. :)
Mar 04 01:53:20 <tamarin> I wanted to buy a replicape, but missed the chance this time.  A RAMBo was a drop-in upgrade for an existing printer.  I still want to use the replicape and get involved in LinuxCNC.
