Sep 21 06:13:07 <zmatt> (replace * with most recent date that has a console subdir)
Sep 21 06:14:11 <zmatt> you can download either the flasher or the raw image to flash using e.g. BBBlfs
Sep 21 06:15:49 <zmatt> for some reason rcn-ee makes 2gb images, shrinking them to min size (resize2fs -M) before flashing and expanding afterwards makes things a _lot_ faster obviously.  alternatively you can use bmaptools to avoid flashing unused space of the image, which is what the flasher does
Sep 21 06:17:54 <zmatt> it's kinda interesting that the raw image is 70M when xz compressed but the flasher only 57M ... curious ...
Sep 21 06:18:10 <zmatt> either way it shows there's not much unneeded crap in it ;)
Sep 21 07:53:16 <chintanp> hey thr
Sep 21 07:53:21 <MP_> Hi
Sep 21 07:53:25 <MP_> Sup man?
Sep 21 07:54:16 <MP_> I want to connect a beagle bone black with a BQ24261EVMM-079 TI battery charger chip.
Sep 21 07:54:24 <MP_> Can anyone please tell me how I could do that?
Sep 21 07:54:30 <chintanp> How can we connect to beagleBoard a charger like this http://www.ti.com/tool/BQ24261EVM-079?keyMatch=bq24261evm-079&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything
Sep 21 07:55:04 <chintanp> This is a host controlled battery charger
Sep 21 07:55:10 <chintanp> and has an I2C interface
Sep 21 07:55:24 <chintanp> i want to connect this to a BBB
Sep 21 08:04:26 <_av500_> connect it over I2C?
Sep 21 08:05:11 <Costin> hello
Sep 21 08:05:14 <Costin> anyone here ?
Sep 21 08:06:31 <Costin> small pb: i have a BBB, i'm using python. I created a script that reboot the BBB when a button conected to GPIO is pressed
Sep 21 08:07:10 <Costin> and also, signals the command by lighting up a led
Sep 21 08:07:28 <Costin> when i run the script in bash, it works as expectd
Sep 21 08:07:49 <Costin> but when is run at boot, the button works but not the leds
Sep 21 08:08:00 <Costin> what am i doing wrong ?
Sep 21 08:08:48 <Costin> anyone ?
Sep 21 08:08:52 <Costin> help ?
Sep 21 08:10:05 <Costin> ding!
Sep 21 08:10:07 <Costin> anyone ?
Sep 21 08:11:14 <Costin> up!
Sep 21 08:12:47 <Costin> empty chat room ?
Sep 21 08:15:27 <av500> nope
Sep 21 08:15:59 <Costin> any answer to my problem ?
Sep 21 08:15:59 <av500> how do you run it at boot?
Sep 21 08:16:08 <av500> answers on irc might take time
Sep 21 08:16:11 <Costin> in a daemon
Sep 21 08:16:38 <Costin> i made a monitoring service
Sep 21 08:18:43 <av500> how do you control the led?
Sep 21 08:19:00 <Costin> this is my script:
Sep 21 08:19:00 <Costin> http://pastebin.com/HGiLC1YR
Sep 21 08:19:31 <Costin> when i press button for 5 sec, it shows my ip on a OSD
Sep 21 08:19:47 <Costin> if i hold it to 10 secs, it resets network to some defaults and reboots
Sep 21 08:20:10 <Costin> the button wors as expected, but not the leds
Sep 21 08:20:51 <Costin> i need to signal somehow when the 5 secs have passed and when the reset was performed
Sep 21 08:21:56 <Costin> this script has been used on a raspberry pi with succes and never failed
Sep 21 08:22:04 <Costin> now i need it on BBB
Sep 21 08:22:05 <av500> how do you launch the script?
Sep 21 08:23:01 <Costin>  
Sep 21 08:23:19 <Costin> "/etc/init.d/myservicename start "
Sep 21 08:24:21 <Costin> startup script: http://pastebin.com/Z6XV0YDW
Sep 21 08:24:37 <Costin> (sorry, service manipulation script)
Sep 21 08:25:37 <av500> is there a way to get logs?
Sep 21 08:25:44 <av500> to maybe see some error messages?
Sep 21 08:27:53 <Costin> i don;t know where to take them
Sep 21 08:28:07 <Costin> i told you: if i start the service after reboot, it wors
Sep 21 08:28:19 <Costin> if i run the script directly, it wors
Sep 21 08:28:26 <Costin> *works
Sep 21 08:28:47 <Costin> i don't know where and how to catch the errors
Sep 21 08:29:18 <Costin> i;m thinking maybe it has something to do with how debian works/loads modules on BBB
Sep 21 08:29:36 <Costin> maybe GPIO is not available at that time... i don;t know
Sep 21 08:30:48 <av500> something like that
Sep 21 08:31:03 <Costin> how can i check that ?
Sep 21 08:31:04 <av500> try to start the python script and save to logs to some place
Sep 21 08:31:08 <Costin> in dmesg nothing appears
Sep 21 08:31:08 <av500> the*
Sep 21 08:31:20 <av500> also, note that on recent BBB debian, there is systemd
Sep 21 08:31:31 <av500> so the way forward is to start it as a systemd unit
Sep 21 08:31:41 <av500> which allows you to start it late
Sep 21 08:31:48 <av500> after all the rest is there
Sep 21 08:32:42 <Costin> ok, i'll try that approach...
Sep 21 08:39:27 <Costin> i found something... but i can't understand what it is
Sep 21 08:39:30 <Costin> pinctrl-single 44e10800.pinmux: pin 44e10854 already requested by 44e10800.pinmux; cannot claim for gpio-leds.8
Sep 21 08:39:50 <Costin> i'm using leds on gpio 7-10
Sep 21 08:39:59 <Costin> what is this ?
Sep 21 08:40:19 <Costin>  pinctrl-single 44e10800.pinmux: pin-21 (gpio-leds.8) status -22
Sep 21 08:57:41 <metin> hi all. i have a simple question
Sep 21 08:57:54 <metin> can i split screen side by side
Sep 21 08:58:06 <metin> by using 7 inch LCD
Sep 21 08:58:21 <av500> ?
Sep 21 08:59:22 <metin> i mean as vr headset, you see same screen on same screen left side of screen and right side of screen
Sep 21 08:59:55 <metin> so will divide screen 2 same size, left side will show samething and also right side will show samething.
Sep 21 09:00:04 <metin> same as virtual reality head stes
Sep 21 09:00:04 <av500> ah
Sep 21 09:00:16 <av500> well, you control the screen
Sep 21 09:00:21 <av500> you can display whatever you want
Sep 21 09:00:44 <metin> how can i do it?
Sep 21 09:00:46 <metin> any way
Sep 21 09:00:58 <metin> any script any adjustment for it?
Sep 21 09:01:14 <av500> script?
Sep 21 09:01:49 <metin> i try to search on net but i only found split screen means mirror or copy same screen to another screen same as videowall types
Sep 21 09:02:12 <av500> make a fullscreen app
Sep 21 09:02:17 <av500> then you control the screen
Sep 21 09:02:22 <av500> both sides
Sep 21 09:02:25 <av500> display what you want
Sep 21 09:02:27 <av500> no?
Sep 21 09:03:33 <metin> ok but how can i split the screen. forexample if i use 7 inch, for left will be 3.5 and for right 3.5 and all have to display same content.
Sep 21 09:04:01 <av500> but then both sides show the same all the time?
Sep 21 09:04:11 <metin> same as 3d side by side but not 3d, only side by side displaying
Sep 21 09:04:11 <av500> what is the point in that?
Sep 21 09:04:42 <av500> you want a 3d display that shows only 2d
Sep 21 09:04:43 <metin> point is same as vr headset. So vr headsets are working as this type.
Sep 21 09:04:44 <av500> got it
Sep 21 09:04:47 <av500> ok
Sep 21 09:04:54 <av500> I guess you need to write a display driver
Sep 21 09:05:02 <av500> that does that
Sep 21 09:05:16 <metin> any info abot it that you know on net?
Sep 21 09:05:16 <av500> one that reports only half the width to the OS
Sep 21 09:05:25 <av500> and then duplicate it into the 2nd half
Sep 21 09:05:27 <av500> no
Sep 21 09:05:48 <av500> you can either write a new display driver
Sep 21 09:05:55 <av500> or you might be able to tweak X to do it
Sep 21 09:06:05 <av500> my having the x server copy to the other side
Sep 21 09:06:14 <KotH> av500: you should ask metin to send you baklava for your efforts :)
Sep 21 09:06:19 <av500> or, if all you need is one app
Sep 21 09:06:27 <av500> then you can just do it inside your own app
Sep 21 09:06:49 <av500> tamam
Sep 21 09:07:15 <metin> ok i can send baklava if i get any simple answer for my problem.
Sep 21 09:07:36 <av500> there might not be a simple answer
Sep 21 09:07:39 <KotH> metin: fistikli ve cevizli olsun :)
Sep 21 09:07:43 <av500> also, then your life would be boring
Sep 21 09:07:50 <av500> you dont want that, do you?
Sep 21 09:08:53 <metin> also life is boring no problem...
Sep 21 09:09:43 * KotH is pretty sure that life in .tr is anything but boring, currently
Sep 21 09:09:54 * av500 goes to find his cezve
Sep 21 09:10:03 <av500> metin:
Sep 21 09:10:05 <av500> [11:05] <av500> you can either write a new display driver
Sep 21 09:10:07 <av500> [11:05] <av500> or you might be able to tweak X to do it
Sep 21 09:10:08 <av500> [11:06] <av500> my having the x server copy to the other side
Sep 21 09:10:16 <av500> both involves actual coding I fear
Sep 21 09:11:32 <KotH> av500: get one of these: http://www.amazon.de/Beko-BKK-2113-Kaffeemaschine-Tassen/dp/B008DYQ6D0
Sep 21 09:11:37 <KotH> av500: they are amazing!
Sep 21 09:12:12 <KotH> av500: and with it a box of mehmet effendi
Sep 21 09:12:21 <KotH> efendi*
Sep 21 09:12:46 <av500> what abomination is this
Sep 21 09:12:54 <av500> my cezve is called nespresso :)
Sep 21 09:13:01 <KotH> infidel!
Sep 21 09:13:05 <KotH> heaten!
Sep 21 09:13:26 <av500> also, I only drink Minas
Sep 21 10:33:52 <chris_____> Hey guys
Sep 21 10:35:50 <chris_____> Can I use the  power management IC to buffering the memory ?
Sep 21 10:38:04 <rob_w> is there a way to read out the board rev of the bbb ?
Sep 21 11:25:55 <zmatt> rob_w: yes, the eeprom
Sep 21 11:28:55 <zmatt> you can try:
Sep 21 11:29:08 <zmatt> head -c 32 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom | hexdump -C
Sep 21 11:29:18 <zmatt> seems to be broken on my kernel, but might still work on yours :P
