**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 22 02:59:59 2015 Jun 22 07:30:59 I am trying to flash ubuntu rootfs and u-boot on bbb, but on booting after pressing boot button, I see on first 3 leds are blinking, but 4th led(eMMC activity) doesnt blinks any idea Jun 22 07:32:29 morning, do we use the same am335x-boneblack.dtb for different kenrel versions? Jun 22 07:32:39 as in 3.19 and 4.0.4 Jun 22 07:33:25 Guest22348 connect a serial cable to see whats going on Jun 22 07:34:29 ok Jun 22 07:35:21 It shows "init: mounted-proc main process (113) terminated with status 1" Jun 22 07:43:39 I assumed I had to build the dtb for every kernel so I wrote this: Jun 22 07:43:44 http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2F3SJt1vo5gxg%2Foy6TUI1w_K4J Jun 22 08:24:07 so many new members joined so let me ask again: Jun 22 08:24:35 can I use the same am335x-boneblack.dtb for different kenrel versions? Jun 22 08:25:53 citylight2: usually yes Jun 22 08:26:06 unless a driver changes e.g. its name.. Jun 22 08:26:07 citylight2: though, there are changes in the DT definition at times Jun 22 08:26:25 citylight2: DT isn't the stable ABI the DT people make it seem Jun 22 08:27:08 in short: "subsystem maintainer are discouraged, but allowed to break dt compatibility" Jun 22 08:27:25 j12t: can you please fix your connection? Jun 22 08:28:46 is this a good solution: http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2F3SJt1vo5gxg%2Foy6TUI1w_K4J Jun 22 08:29:04 I guess the device tree dtsi is ok, right... Jun 22 08:29:13 thanks KotH Jun 22 08:32:14 *sigh* Jun 22 08:33:24 I wait Jun 22 09:32:07 LetoThe2nd: here? Jun 22 09:39:11 citylight2: wazzup? Jun 22 09:41:32 hi there, can I have your opinion on my dtb issue? Jun 22 09:41:52 Assume I hate to put blob in my deb package Jun 22 09:42:15 can I use these files to build dtb during deb install? Jun 22 09:42:21 http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums?place=msg%2Fbeagleboard%2F3SJt1vo5gxg%2Foy6TUI1w_K4J Jun 22 09:42:49 i fail to see the question. you asked if i dtb are kernel-version specific, or not. i said basically "the could be, but in reality are not" Jun 22 09:43:24 ok Jun 22 09:43:41 as for integrating that into some pacakging process, i cannot comment. Jun 22 09:43:58 ok Jun 22 09:44:34 is the dtsi, I wrote ok? Jun 22 09:44:45 koen rule #1 Jun 22 09:44:52 "try and find out" Jun 22 09:45:09 my problem is the first line /{ Jun 22 09:45:25 but ok, I guess I will keep these scripts Jun 22 09:45:49 just in case some one read the code, and they can understand what I do Jun 22 12:58:11 Want to report a problem: if use has disabled dhcp server prior to an update/upgrade, it is re-enabled. Jun 22 12:58:42 You can imagine this causing havoc on major internal networks with (slow) windows based dhcp servers Jun 22 12:59:20 will someone fix this or should I report this problem in a more appropriate manner? Jun 22 12:59:39 if the latter, which way is the best? Jun 22 13:07:03 internet if you should report it to debian Jun 22 13:07:10 hm oh he quits Jun 22 13:18:40 yea 2min patience window Jun 22 15:37:30 hi, can the board be powered any of the extension interface pins or do I need to use the barrel connector? Jun 22 15:40:28 zyga: some of the 5V pins on the connector can be used to power it same as the barrel connector Jun 22 16:10:58 zyga: pins 5 and 6 on the P9 header are wired to the 5V barrel jack input and can be used instead Jun 22 16:17:27 Beaglebone inside: http://www.pocketnc.com/blog/ Jun 22 16:18:10 Apparently MachineKit driving a TinyG-derivative board. Jun 22 16:34:28 alexanderhiam: thanks, I'll give that a try Jun 22 16:35:07 Hi all. I'm having some issues getting the BBB to show up over the microUSB. I consistently get the error about the drivers not being installed, despite using the drivers from beagleboard. Jun 22 16:35:32 I'm able to get it to show up as a network adapter if I go in and choose a driver manually and select "Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget", however I absolutely cannot get it to come up as a USB-Serial. Jun 22 16:36:24 applepi: it doesn't support USB-serial Jun 22 16:37:50 alexanderhiam, really? odd. if I capture it into my Linux VM, I get the gadget ethernet and the usb-serial. the Windows driver only offers up the one, then? Jun 22 16:38:45 I was under the impression that it's not implemented on the BeagleBone side Jun 22 16:39:39 if you want a USB-serial connection you can use an external USB-serial converter connected to the J1 header Jun 22 16:41:04 It does appear to be implemented, I can usb-serial in from Linux. I can't get the drivers to work without manually selecting a driver in Windows, though, and only selecting the Linux ethernet gadget. Jun 22 16:41:16 I haven't found a serial that will take, yet. Jun 22 16:41:25 alexanderhiam: at least the default debian image uses g_multi and exposes network, serial and a block device Jun 22 16:42:02 tbr: is there a tty attached? Jun 22 16:42:15 applepi: the serial "driver" is a rather trivial inf file in case of windows. As it's just standard CDC-ACM Jun 22 16:42:22 alexanderhiam: yes, a getty Jun 22 16:42:36 tbr: very cool, didn't know that Jun 22 16:42:39 * jkridner can't believe he forgot pocketnc kickstarter went live today. Jun 22 16:42:57 applepi: I guess that means the Windows drivers are the problem Jun 22 16:43:11 I've never seen a usb-serial device show up on windows Jun 22 16:43:30 with the bbb usb connection that is Jun 22 16:43:41 Well, I can't get any device to show up without going in and telling it to use a specific driver manually. Jun 22 16:44:06 applepi: setting that once doesn't stick? Jun 22 16:44:20 it sticks for ethernet Jun 22 16:44:32 i have a reason for needing to bring up the serial Jun 22 16:44:49 if the network works can't you just ssh? Jun 22 16:45:27 "i have a reason for needing to bring up the serial" :) Jun 22 16:46:34 i am getting message "Did you know? This page can interact with your BeagleBone Type in your BeagleBone's IP address here:" after i try to connect to 192.168.7.2. please help me Jun 22 16:47:34 (I am working on a slight derivative work board with a custom image, on which they don't want SSH up by default, however the driver issue exists for a lot of Win7 x64 machines on the vanilla BBB, for some reason, so it's not this board.) Jun 22 16:47:42 applepi: as said, cdc-acm for linux gadget-serial is a trivial .inf file. I've seen it linked in a few places 'on the internet' Jun 22 17:17:07 tbr, it installed, but I still can't open a serial connection to it. Jun 22 17:17:52 it did create a serial port though. putty just fails to open it, though. Jun 22 19:28:13 why is it that i get a set of about 6 entries in syslog every 10 seconds? These messages look like the result of a script that is monitoring eth0, can00, can01, wlan0 and soforth Jun 22 19:29:32 each of the entries begin with: Jun 22 13:28:50 beaglebone connmand[448] Jun 22 19:29:55 any guess as to what process this is? Jun 22 19:30:05 connman is probably connection manager Jun 22 19:31:17 ah, the connman script that starts the service must have some sort of option to do this? Jun 22 19:32:00 my guess is your board is trying to dhcp on every interface and not finding a dhcp server Jun 22 19:32:07 just a guess though Jun 22 19:33:07 sounds promising. Problem with this is that it uses up space. I trashed a whole bunch of compressed log files wondering why there were so many there Jun 22 19:33:37 I will look into it. Thanks n8vi Jun 22 19:33:44 mount some ram as /var/log? Jun 22 19:34:00 that's what I do with my laptop so as not to poo all over my SSD Jun 22 19:34:34 usually I don't reboot between something weird happening and looking at the appropriate log file Jun 22 19:35:44 mounting some ram: guess that would clear it out between boots. Maybe, what I should do is put in a symlink to my midro sd card Jun 22 19:35:47 also, see "log rotator" Jun 22 19:36:08 ok, will look into that too Jun 22 19:37:00 possible, but ram can handle way more write cycles than anything nonvolatile Jun 22 19:37:09 that's my concern Jun 22 19:38:39 on the other hand, if you think something will blow up and reboot the board, uSD is cheaper to replace than the onboard Jun 22 19:38:46 everything on a beaglebone is volatile : Jun 22 19:39:07 to some extent :) Jun 22 19:39:23 well, if you want to get philosophical, so are we Jun 22 19:39:28 I looked at logrotate, I think this will do the trick Jun 22 19:39:34 hehe good call! Jun 22 19:40:19 Still, this connman affair shouldn't be wired the way it is out of the box. I will see why that is Jun 22 19:40:43 Happy days n8vi! Jun 22 19:41:34 I believe you are wishing me well. If that's the case, same to you. Jun 22 19:42:23 I was! Jun 22 19:43:59 Okular: I think the ROM is practically non-volatile. Jun 22 19:53:35 * myself summons mjgardes and an e-beam to rewrite the ROM Jun 22 19:54:07 hadn't heard that before, but I like it. Far less specific and restrictive than "have a nice day". "I wish you to have one nice day, and after that may your life collapse" Jun 22 20:01:31 what's the best way to graft an old overlay file onto an existing device tree in 3.14? Jun 22 20:08:01 * mjgardes grumbles at all the opposition to me weilding an electron beam Jun 22 20:08:09 wielding? Jun 22 20:08:18 that looks better Jun 22 20:08:25 welding Jun 22 20:09:06 You think i'm made of electrons? Jun 22 20:09:22 Yes. Jun 22 21:33:38 ok. config-pin is a useful tool, as long as your kernel is compatible :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 23 02:59:58 2015
