**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 03 02:59:59 2015 Sep 03 07:27:29 Hi Everybody Sep 03 07:28:25 I'm trying to remove the fact that Beaglebone display turns of after some time Sep 03 07:28:34 Can anybody provide some help about it Sep 03 07:29:16 this will depend on the linux distribution that you are running on the device and what software is using the display Sep 03 07:30:07 When I boot from eMMC i see Arago Distribution Sep 03 07:30:22 When I flash I see Angstrom Distribution Sep 03 07:30:52 I don't know where to look about software used for display Sep 03 07:33:07 well what do you want to change arago or angstrom? Sep 03 07:33:53 I would like to change Arago Sep 03 07:34:13 Which is the one used in normal eMMC system operation Sep 03 07:34:39 * tbr knows nothing about arago, but I guess they have some sort of community Sep 03 07:34:57 it /might/ be as easy as configuring the x-server or window manager Sep 03 07:35:22 in etc i see no xserver Sep 03 07:35:38 and i don't know how to see what window manager i'm using Sep 03 07:35:46 Can you tell me how to know that? Sep 03 09:53:47 hi is the debian beaglebone repo down? Sep 03 09:54:05 i'm getting Could not resolve 'debian.beagleboard.org', when trying apt-get update Sep 03 09:54:48 resolves just fine here. check the network connection of your borad Sep 03 18:46:01 I'm a linux pro but BBB put me in difficulty Sep 03 18:46:17 I'm not sure if this is a faulty unit, but can't make my ethernet work Sep 03 18:49:22 I'm trying to make my eth0 get an IP over DHCP and that fails. Sep 03 18:49:40 the /var/log/kern.log shows this: Sep 03 18:49:53 net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) Sep 03 18:50:05 libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:00 not found Sep 03 18:54:10 wow!! This seems to be an old issue that hasn't been fixed Sep 03 18:54:12 2013 Sep 03 18:54:14 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/9mctrG26Mc8/76UK7PKRFt4J Sep 03 18:59:04 nucatus: either your ethernet chip is busted or it's just not enumerating right Sep 03 18:59:20 nucatus: are you using an up to date image? Sep 03 19:00:02 after doing a hard reset (button) as the guy says in that post and not a soft reboot, the eth0 started working Sep 03 19:00:33 I've just bought the unit. This week. I assumed it has a pretty up to date image Sep 03 19:01:43 out of the box it might have a rather old or even weird image Sep 03 19:01:58 the element14 ones came with weird stuff on them Sep 03 19:02:11 I'd recommend to reflash with latest image Sep 03 19:02:40 I'm very new to BB and I started with the BBB directly Sep 03 19:03:30 I'm pretty familiar with Rasp though and I wanted to explore the alternatives. Anyways, I'll reflash the unit Sep 03 19:16:42 nucatus, re-flash, that's the old 2014.04 image if you get mdio:00 not found.. Sep 03 21:12:07 looking for a url to the current debian source distro used for the bbb? Sep 03 21:14:26 yates, which application? Sep 03 21:15:06 rcn-ee: is this it? https://github.com/beagleboard/linux Sep 03 21:15:14 rcn-ee: what do you mean? application for what? Sep 03 21:15:39 rather, this is the current kernel source. right? Sep 03 21:15:48 yates, "current debian source distro used for the bbb" not verbose enough. ;) yeap kernel is that repo... Sep 03 21:15:55 3.8/3.14/4.1 branches.. Sep 03 21:16:39 ok, thanks. Sep 03 21:17:00 remember use the tag's.. the branches get rebased... Sep 03 21:18:25 rcn-ee: will this kernel work with the TI AM3352 (as well as the AM3358/3359)? Sep 03 21:19:27 rebased? Sep 03 21:19:31 what does that mean? Sep 03 21:19:56 yates, yes the am3352 is part of the am335x line that this kernel supports. Sep 03 21:20:12 ok. Sep 03 21:21:00 git rebase: when we update the 3.8/3.14/4.1 branches we push a tag and then push on top of the branch, thus it gets rebased... Sep 03 21:21:19 so the "3.8/3.14/4.1" always has the latest tag... Sep 03 21:22:51 ok. Sep 03 21:23:30 TI are publishing a 4.1 branch? Sep 03 21:23:44 or is that beagle only .. Sep 03 21:23:48 have you seen this branch (or previous) work with a Telit LE910 cellular module, to establish a wwan IP interface? Sep 03 21:24:02 e.g., via USB connection? Sep 03 21:24:08 s/e.g./i.e./ Sep 03 21:26:33 i also have hardware questions. we're respinning a bbb and integrating some components (e.g., this Telit LE910). does anyone know if we can simply connect (with proper level shift) the DP/DM usb connections directly without having to mount host/device connectors and use a cable (which would be brain-dead for a standalone board) Sep 03 21:26:34 ? Sep 03 21:27:20 *yawn* Sep 03 21:30:41 veremit, based on ti's 4.1 branch: http://git.ti.com/gitweb/?p=ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ti-linux-4.1.y Sep 03 21:31:24 rcn-ee .. well I never .. ! Sep 03 22:36:22 does usb work in 3.14 kernel? Sep 03 22:37:32 tried 3.14 from git.ti.com and github pabe beagleboard but both don't work Sep 03 22:39:21 define 'usb' and 'work' .. both are ambiguous terms .. Sep 03 22:39:50 the short and obvious answer is simply: Yes. Sep 03 22:42:00 when I attached usb usb it does not enumerate in 3.14 kernel Sep 03 22:42:11 *usb hub Sep 03 22:42:47 wherein in 3.12 kernel it used to enumerate and used to work Sep 03 22:43:23 the musb host driver is notoriously .. erm .. how to put this .. crap. Sep 03 22:44:27 you may find it sometimes detects it if you have it plugged in at power-up/boot time .. but otherwise .. 'hotplugging' is known to be patchy Sep 03 22:44:37 use the source and debug it. send diffs when done. Sep 03 22:45:02 ds2: now there's a textbook answer - you get a cookie. Sep 03 23:11:55 ds2: very helpful. Sep 03 23:17:21 it is musb, that's the only way to deal with it. Sep 03 23:30:24 this is ip that is on some SoCs like Sharc, etc? Sep 03 23:30:44 sorry, blackfin (not sharc) Sep 03 23:39:20 ? Sep 03 23:58:43 similar Sep 03 23:58:56 if it were the same, it would be less of an issue **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 04 02:59:58 2015
