**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Oct 24 02:59:59 2015 Oct 24 05:03:10 hi every one Oct 24 05:04:19 where can I find the information about Beaglebone Black BOM (Bill of Materials) Oct 24 05:05:33 I need some hardware details on that like what type of memory components are used on the board Oct 24 05:07:51 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack Oct 24 06:19:22 are there any 12"-14" touch screens for the BBB ? Oct 24 06:23:29 that's probably a size where you'd go with a generic HDMI+USB touch-screen Oct 24 06:36:03 but how would i get it to work on the bbb ? Oct 24 06:36:55 just as on any other linux machine? Oct 24 06:39:24 i mean in terms of compatibility, can i just purchase a touchscreen lcd screen on ebay and attach it to the bbb ? Oct 24 06:42:21 as long as it is known to work on linux, most likely Oct 24 06:44:43 can the BBB connect to a windows PC as a USB HID device ? Oct 24 06:47:40 https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt Oct 24 06:48:46 hii there.. Oct 24 06:48:53 are there ant real time OS which can be run on BBB ? Oct 24 06:48:57 or have some good tutorial on it ? Oct 24 06:49:43 there might be some RTOS support Oct 24 06:49:56 also there are linux kernels with RT patches Oct 24 06:50:33 Hey tbr do you think i can get your email, I would like to bounce some ideas off you to understand these things better if you dont mind ? Oct 24 06:51:10 developerjohn: I'd suggest to do that here, there are a lot of other people to chime in. Oct 24 06:51:28 developerjohn: unless of course you want to hire me at market rate for consulting Oct 24 06:52:11 tbr: i have seen but some of them are under development... Oct 24 06:52:15 like xenomai, freertos.. Oct 24 06:52:32 just friendly advice since im new to beaglebone but i do appreciate it. Oct 24 06:53:12 would using a teensy make my life easier in terms of sending ascii values to a windows pc connected over usb ? Oct 24 06:53:16 you have much better chances here, as there are so many people here Oct 24 06:53:36 using a teensy in conjunction with a BBB of course Oct 24 06:53:44 developerjohn: where do that ascii values come from? Oct 24 06:54:05 well the initial input would come from a touch screen attached to the beaglebone Oct 24 06:54:17 and want to send to the pc, thus emulating a keyboard Oct 24 06:54:48 g_hid is the way to go Oct 24 06:55:49 is this done on the software level ?, would i include the code in my software such pseudocode i.e.(Keyboard.write(49)) Oct 24 06:55:59 yeah Oct 24 06:56:33 the text file I mentioned seems to explain that Oct 24 06:57:04 i saw just wasn't to clear for me, also i didnt think the beaglebone supported being a USB slave Oct 24 06:57:20 if I understand it correctly you'd feed scancodes to a device node Oct 24 06:57:54 it does. that's why you get a network device, a serial device and a storage device when you connect it over usb Oct 24 06:59:27 i see thats very interesting, what do you mean a device node ? Oct 24 06:59:58 linux has the notion of "devices", commonly found in /dev/ Oct 24 07:03:11 i see, was the feature of usb slave added to the beagle recently or has it always been present since the first iteration ? Oct 24 07:03:39 always, the gadget driver is really old and predates this Oct 24 07:04:19 is this present in raspberry pi as well because from reading around it seems the pi lacks this feature Oct 24 07:07:07 http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/272 Oct 24 07:09:22 seems like a lot of trouble to get it to work as opposed to the beagle which as you say works out of the box Oct 24 07:09:53 correct Oct 24 07:10:44 you've given me a lot to think about, thanks for the info Oct 24 07:10:59 np Oct 24 16:39:48 hello Oct 24 16:40:50 just got my beagle and it willnot connect says my host id has changed Oct 24 16:42:15 or not goodbye Oct 24 16:49:16 \list Oct 24 16:49:23 \/join Oct 24 16:49:23 \ Oct 24 16:49:31 \list Oct 24 18:52:18 OK, so I have a question about how to get a custom audio cape working. Its virtually identical to the CircuitCo REVB audio cape, except that I need it to work on I2C address 0x1B instead of 0x18. Oct 24 18:53:29 apparently the kernel already has support for the BB-BONE-AUDI-02 cape compiled in to it. I've tried changing both the revision and the -02 to -03. Neither of these work. Oct 24 18:53:45 I get the error: davinci-mcasp 48038000.mcasp: could not find pctldev for node /ocp/i2c@44e0b000/tps@24/regulators/regulator@1, deferring probe Oct 24 18:54:23 after inserting the cape, it "detects" something at the 0x1B address, but "aplay -l" does not reveal any sound cards. Oct 24 18:54:34 Any ideas on how to get this work correctly? Oct 24 18:55:22 I don't understand what changes if any have been made, why the kernel version works, when all I've changed is the I2C address in the .dts file Oct 24 18:55:27 any thoughts? Oct 24 19:14:34 Hi every one, Can any one help me out whether beagle bone black ,beagle bone black(bill of materials) are one and same Oct 24 19:25:47 Hi every one, Can any tell me whether beagle bone black and beagle bone black(bill of materials) are same or different Oct 24 19:50:13 Hello Oct 24 19:52:26 How do I install and run nod-red on my BBB? I tried running commands like "sudo apt-get update"; "sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red" ; but all i get is a lot of errors. I tried opening node-red by using the command "node red" but nothing works Oct 24 19:54:19 Sindhu: http://nodered.org/docs/hardware/beagleboneblack.html Oct 24 19:56:26 I took help from the site you mentione above but that was of no use.. I mean, those ARE the commands i should be using but for some reason node red isn't getting installed on my BBB Oct 24 19:57:14 Do I need to download images ? I downloaded a latest xz file. but did not know how and hwere to use them. Are they required? Oct 24 19:59:08 well, what errors are reported when you try to install with the instructions?
