**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Oct 11 02:59:58 2015 Oct 11 03:07:45 hi - quick question: I flashed the 'console' image of debian onto a BBB. This version is missing all the device tree fragments in /lib/firmware.. where can I find them? Oct 11 04:54:55 oh man Oct 11 04:54:59 finally glad that shit is all over Oct 11 16:28:14 does the beaglebone have a general purpose I/O? Oct 11 16:34:51 twinie: plenty Oct 11 16:37:24 twinie: I'd suggest to read the SystemReferenceManual for the BBB Oct 11 16:38:08 twinie: also I'd strongly suggest to only send private messages to people when it concerns something private, like requesting a quote for consulting. Oct 11 16:38:47 thanks and sorry. Oct 11 18:31:57 <_av500_> nyt: heh, please write it up Oct 11 18:32:07 <_av500_> jason and bleaglebone would love a nice blog post Oct 11 18:32:13 <_av500_> beagle* Oct 11 18:33:44 I'd recommend to write the blogpost yourself. the TI PR agency seemed weird Oct 11 20:11:01 tbr: lol what Oct 11 20:11:39 zmatt: they wanted to use my IoToilets project and their PR agency contacted me, a rather weird experience Oct 11 20:13:23 heh Oct 11 20:14:47 of all things to use as PR... networked toilets... Oct 11 20:15:08 but you flushed their PR proposal down the drain? Oct 11 20:15:24 wasn't very convinced Oct 11 20:15:35 they just wanted to push the BBB aspect Oct 11 20:17:14 I used the BBB because it had an ADC and was easy for a quick proto whip up. I later implemented something similar based on a CC2530 Oct 11 20:17:48 want to use a BBB or an X15 as 802.15.4 6lowpan gateway Oct 11 20:18:41 the cc253x is odd... especially since they're very different from the cc2538, even though one might naively think the former includes the latter Oct 11 20:22:58 2530 is still based on the old CC design with an 8051 core Oct 11 20:23:27 the 2538 has an M3 and probably the same rf blob (guessing) Oct 11 20:25:25 yeah there's no doubt plenty of reuse... still it was a o.O moment when I discovered the "CC253x/254x" TRM didn't cover the CC2538 Oct 11 20:26:19 also interesting how the CC26xx are all the same silicon, just fused for different use Oct 11 20:26:38 that is very common Oct 11 20:28:13 the subarctic die comes in a ton of variants... not just the many variants and speed grades of AM335x, but also DRA60x / DRA61x Oct 11 20:29:46 the centaurus die is DM814x, DM812x, AM387x, DRA65x, TDA1Mx (where x != EV), and some even more obscure parts Oct 11 20:34:32 yeah, though this is a microcontroller part Oct 11 20:36:44 which means less complicated die hence less partial failures requiring efusing off, but at the same time presumably higher volumes and tighter margins, making it important to maximize the die yield Oct 11 20:37:49 yeah, or just having one die for two use cases (three if you count the unfused which is also sold) Oct 11 20:38:28 it could also just be marketing yes Oct 11 20:39:33 they may also defeature things for the general public if they fear it would cause too much tech support load... that almost happened to PRUSS :/ Oct 11 20:51:03 * zmatt stares at his AM5728 pinmux spreadsheet... Oct 11 21:21:37 please help me booting BBB from sd card. i have followed this tutorial but in vain Oct 11 21:36:47 chanty_: it helps to give actual info (which tutorial? what problem are you having?), increases the odds of getting an answer (see also topic) Oct 11 21:37:15 and have patience since it is a sunday and not many people are active Oct 11 21:37:22 anyway, I've got a train to catch, bbl **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Oct 12 02:59:58 2015
