**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 25 02:59:59 2015 Sep 25 05:45:30 So I've been trying to setup my beaglebone black on my computer which is on the OSX 10.11 Public Beta and can't seem to get it to communicate with my computer even after installing the drivers. Is there a known solution for this? Sep 25 05:54:59 how do i know if BBB is flashing ? my beaglebone is been in flashing state from past 5 hrs Sep 25 06:03:42 vivekgv: it's not flashing. flashing takes minutes, not hours Sep 25 06:04:22 Guest79806: I recall someone mentioned the link may have been old and the latest http://joshuawise.com/horndis works Sep 25 06:07:11 ok then my BBB is stuck in Boot loop i am unable to login ssh that is why i am flashing it but how do i know that the flash sequence has started ? Sep 25 06:08:56 I never tried the flasher, but it's reputed to show a very simple led pattern Sep 25 06:09:11 something like Sep 25 06:09:15 * Sep 25 06:09:16 * Sep 25 06:09:17 * Sep 25 06:09:18 * Sep 25 06:09:21 * Sep 25 06:09:23 * Sep 25 06:09:26 * Sep 25 06:09:28 * Sep 25 06:09:31 etc Sep 25 06:09:52 Sadly the latest horndis from the site didnt resolve the issue Sep 25 06:10:18 if instead you see a "heartbeat" on led 0 and semi-random activity on others, that's a running system Sep 25 06:10:42 all leds should be on steady once flashing is complete Sep 25 06:11:20 User 0 and User 2 blinks user 0 follows the heart beat pattern but user 2 is continues and dim Sep 25 06:12:24 its been in this state when i insert my sd card and press the boot button Sep 25 06:23:16 Any thing else besides using the latest horndis? I should also be on the latest FTDI driver Sep 25 06:27:23 no ftdi on the beaglebone-black Sep 25 06:27:29 its usb-gadget Sep 25 06:31:18 viv... oh he left Sep 25 06:31:50 -shrug- Sep 25 06:32:24 he pressed the button way too late :P Sep 25 06:32:44 Thats a little confusing since the links are for FTDI drivers Sep 25 06:32:45 probably Sep 25 06:32:54 Guest79806: then you're probably looking at the wrong page Sep 25 06:33:17 the beaglebone white has an integrated ftdi serial thing, not the black Sep 25 06:36:54 There only seems to be one "Getting Started" page with links to drivers Sep 25 06:39:29 url? Sep 25 06:42:13 http://beagleboard.org/getting-started Sep 25 06:45:15 pretty vague indeed, it just mentions those drivers "are available", not when or why you'd need them Sep 25 06:45:45 (never seen that page before btw) Sep 25 06:45:54 argh what an annoying sidebar Sep 25 06:47:31 Oh, then in that case where should i be going? Sep 25 06:52:38 ehm, I honestly have no idea what the "tutorial" stuff is... I never looked at it Sep 25 06:54:17 (already had a lot of background knowledge/experience) Sep 25 06:54:28 maybe someone else knows... Sep 25 06:54:31 * zmatt pokes the channel Sep 25 06:55:15 btw, instead of bothering with that stupid RNDIS my suggestion would be connecting it to your LAN, assuming you have one Sep 25 06:55:35 (if not, get a cheapass ethernet switch and then you do) Sep 25 06:56:17 yea im starting to think the easiest thing for me to do is to buy a cheap usb to ethernet adapter Sep 25 06:57:19 ?? how'd usb get involved again? Sep 25 06:58:11 ohh wait, you don't have a standalone modem/router for internet? Sep 25 06:59:08 Well i was just trying to use it with just my laptop so i can take it with me to work on a project, but i dont have an ethernet port on my laptop for it Sep 25 06:59:26 ah ok Sep 25 06:59:36 well RNDIS *should* work... there are people who have it working Sep 25 07:00:14 is there a reasonably recent OS flashed on it? Sep 25 07:00:17 I had it working when i first got the board but that was like around os 10.8 or 10.9 Sep 25 07:00:27 hmm Sep 25 07:00:34 and not recent i think it has angstrom on it Sep 25 07:00:41 ! Sep 25 07:01:04 that's not "not recent", that's old junk :P Sep 25 07:01:47 haha that i know Sep 25 07:02:35 I think i'm just gonna go with the enet adapter idea for now, thanks for the help though Sep 25 07:02:46 I'm also not sure why the beagle presents itself using RNDIS while obviously linux also supports the actual standards-compliant stuff Sep 25 07:02:58 probably to accomodate windows users :/ Sep 25 07:03:36 but I'm not sure how/where to change that Sep 25 07:08:48 ok I really need to make an irssi script to *not* hide parts/quits of people if I've recently conversed with them Sep 25 07:35:18 zmatt: specially the Guest*** dudes ;-) Sep 25 07:35:31 well more in general Sep 25 07:35:52 I ignore join/quit because this channel can be fairly spammy with them Sep 25 07:36:03 but not noticing when you're walking into thin air is annoying Sep 25 07:36:09 *talking Sep 25 08:33:13 there is an easier way: just wait 10min befor answering Sep 25 09:44:17 I turned join/quit/parts into a light grey .. so they're just visible .. but still present Sep 25 09:44:24 for that reason Sep 25 09:48:18 Hi, I'm trying to fix some error with the flasher script from rcn-ee, I created a sdCard with a custom kernel and a rootfs created with debootstrap, after booting from the sdCard on the BBB, running the flasher script everything works great but the flasher is unable to umount /tmp at the end, I need to reboot the BBB manualy (note that everything is correctly flashed, it's just the end of the script that fail to cleanup) Sep 25 09:48:54 I'm pretty sure that's a problem comming from the fstab but I didn't manage to fix this Sep 25 09:48:57 any idea ? Sep 25 09:52:37 The script returns: umount: /tmp not mounted Sep 25 10:48:29 hey is there any current status on this project http://beagleboard.org/project/xen_i2c/ (I2C Xenomai driver) ?? Sep 25 10:49:07 i would like to work on RTOS so thought that it would be good to start with this and learn more abt RTOS Sep 25 10:50:46 or does any one knows other project related to RTOS so that i can learn from that by looking into some bugs and following that project ? Sep 25 12:57:39 Hi, I'm trying to fix some error with the flasher script from rcn-ee, I created a sdCard with a custom kernel and a rootfs created with debootstrap, after booting from the sdCard on the BBB, running the flasher script everything works great but the flasher is unable to umount /tmp at the end, I need to reboot the BBB manualy (note that everything is correctly flashed, it's just the end of the script that fail to cleanup) Sep 25 12:57:43 I'm pretty sure that's a problem comming from the fstab but I didn't manage to fix this Sep 25 12:57:47 The script returns: umount: /tmp not mounted Sep 25 12:57:48 any idea ? Sep 25 13:41:50 hello all... Sep 25 13:42:21 I am new to bb xm... I am trying to boot it with any prebuilt image with x.. Sep 25 13:42:43 tried ubuntu... jellybean various images so far.... not one did boot properly! Sep 25 13:42:56 can someone here help me please! Sep 25 13:56:45 can u pls suggest me any prebuilt image with xwindows for beagleboard xm? tried many images unable to boot it so far Sep 25 13:57:12 ubuntu or android... Sep 25 14:40:42 woohoo, finally settling down with a nice warm mug of libsoc Sep 25 14:40:56 looks like SPI only supports speeds that are even multiples of 24MHz Sep 25 14:42:19 er, even divisors of 24MHz rather Sep 25 14:42:24 12, 6, 3, etc. Sep 25 14:42:34 so I guess I'll just use 6MHz everywhere Sep 25 14:46:30 Or 8. 8 is a good speed. Sep 25 14:48:03 but when I set it to 8, my logic analyzer shows 6. Sep 25 14:48:30 and when I set it to 12, I get 12... set it to 5, I get 3, set it to 3, get 3. Sep 25 14:48:50 seems like it's just doing a straight division with no modulation there Sep 25 14:48:51 I smell bug Sep 25 14:48:53 Weirdness. 8 is a divisor of 24. Sep 25 14:49:01 hmm Sep 25 14:49:13 let me verify that, maybe I did something wrong :) Sep 25 14:49:42 Say it ain't so! Sep 25 14:49:54 well, set it to 8000000, got 6MHz on the LA. Sep 25 14:50:17 set it to 9000000, got 6MHz. Sep 25 14:50:23 LA is sampling at 80MHz fwiw Sep 25 14:51:00 Does the BBB Ubuntu snappy image (15.04) does that run off the eMMC or does it need the sd card? Sep 25 14:51:34 now granted I am using jackmitch/libsoc here... let me see if his code is doing something odd during the speed set Sep 25 14:51:46 Can't say. Barely used a BBB so far so I certainly wouldn't know it's SPI implementation. Does seem not right. Sep 25 14:52:13 hmm, doesn't look suspicious: int ret = ioctl (spi->fd, SPI_IOC_WR_MAX_SPEED_HZ, &speed); Sep 25 14:52:19 yeah Sep 25 14:52:27 might just be a BBB quirk or SPI driver quirk Sep 25 14:52:54 i.e. only takes single-bit clock dividers Sep 25 14:53:22 6MHz should work well enough for me anyhow Sep 25 15:07:49 Spirilis: I will ask him when I see him Sep 25 17:28:16 hey guys.... if ANYBODY could please help em with this I will be really greatful... I need to give in this project in 4 days :( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32787161/npm-install-sqlite3-error-on-beaglebone-black Sep 25 17:28:21 Please try and help Sep 25 17:28:33 if ANYBODY ever installed SQlite3 for NODEjs on a bealgboard pleaes advice Sep 25 17:28:51 also... .I Dont have "opkg" on my standard BeagleBone Black... how do I install it? Sep 25 17:54:29 anybody ? Sep 25 18:00:53 yeah that be old if you're workin on debian not angstrom Sep 25 18:01:07 try 'apt-get' instead Sep 25 18:10:39 hi Beagle Sep 25 18:11:19 just getting started and have a specific goal here Sep 25 19:46:08 aside from it being tedious update work, is there any reason why the am335x/beagle u-boot boards mostly *don't* use Kconfig? Sep 25 19:46:32 They appear to just statically #define *most* of their options in various static includes in "include/configs/*am335x*.h Sep 25 19:47:07 it really makes it a pain in the ass to generate two slightly different bootloaders ... Sep 25 19:47:26 the switch to Kconfig is pretty recent; are other boards any more converted over? Sep 25 19:48:44 i'd wager that they're not; Probably should have checked. Sep 25 19:49:53 also, does the SPL supporting booting "new style" u-boot FIT images? Sep 25 19:50:31 beagle/am335x SPL* Sep 25 20:26:00 yeah, judging by the size of the configs/*_defconfigs, only a few boards (specifically the sandbox board) have been updated Sep 25 21:06:36 also a generally targeted question: Has any effort been directed to moving the complicated u-boot hush scripts (for auto finding images and dtbs, etc) into a u-boot "standalone" application? Sep 25 21:06:54 Does anyone have any opinions on it? Sep 25 21:56:55 is it possible to install angstrom on a Virtual Machine? Sep 25 22:17:57 cart_man qemu might work https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/Qemu-beagleboard Sep 26 01:01:07 <_egypcio> http://pastebin.com/jzmb3ice Sep 26 01:01:29 <_egypcio> this "Python.h" should be . right? Sep 26 01:02:43 <_egypcio> source: adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/source/py_pwm.c Sep 26 01:11:20 need to -I the path Sep 26 01:19:54 <_egypcio> methuzla: yup. just realized I asked something dumb Sep 26 01:20:51 <_egypcio> thnks **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 26 02:59:59 2015
