**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 24 02:59:59 2015 Dec 24 07:13:53 can anyone tell me how to load Blacklib onto BBB Dec 24 07:16:41 download, unpack, check instructions inside, follow instructions? Dec 24 07:17:21 no instructions Dec 24 07:19:26 there's a makefile, have you tried running "make"? Dec 24 07:20:18 I have lib on windows desk top - connected to BBB via putty Dec 24 07:20:42 how do I move it to BBB and where do I move it to Dec 24 07:20:47 you obviously need to download it to the BBB Dec 24 07:21:19 yep - got that - how Dec 24 07:21:33 git clone fails Dec 24 07:21:44 does your BBB have an internet connection? Dec 24 07:22:02 hmm it is on net work Dec 24 07:22:20 how do I test that Dec 24 07:22:54 "ip route" - does that list a "default"? Dec 24 07:23:58 got a whole bunch of stuff back Dec 24 07:24:10 but does one line start with "default" Dec 24 07:24:35 default via 192.168,1,1 dev eth0 Dec 24 07:24:55 . not , Dec 24 07:25:41 "wget http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/blacklib/BlackLib%20v3.0.zip" Dec 24 07:25:46 does that work? Dec 24 07:25:54 ill try Dec 24 07:28:35 close server returned error http/1.1 404 not found Dec 24 07:29:29 got it Dec 24 07:29:45 zip is now on BBB - had a lower case B Dec 24 07:29:56 ok now what? Dec 24 07:30:35 uncompress? Dec 24 07:31:00 ya - i figured that but how? Dec 24 07:31:23 have you ever worked with a linux system before? Dec 24 07:31:40 I am an embedded micro pic programmer trying to learn how to use BBB Dec 24 07:32:15 in 1983 I used a version made my honeywell Dec 24 07:32:26 I'll take that as "No, please spoon feed me exact steps!" Dec 24 07:32:28 but those brain cell have died Dec 24 07:33:08 that would be a good assumption Dec 24 07:33:25 unzip "BlackLib v3.0.zip" Dec 24 07:34:03 please note that we're not here to spoon-feed people through everything. We're here to help people with specific questions and problems. Dec 24 07:34:30 I'd suggest that in addition to whatever you're doing right now, you get a book on the BBB Dec 24 07:34:52 I have 4 of them Dec 24 07:36:06 then it might be good to work with at least one of them, preferably one that is recent enough to explain how to work with a Debian system on the BBB Dec 24 07:36:46 did unpacking work? Dec 24 07:37:55 ya had to put %20 in zip name Dec 24 07:38:12 ok, now go into that directory Dec 24 07:38:20 unpacked it do not know to where ls does not list unpacked files Dec 24 07:38:53 there should be a directory "BlackLib v3.0/" Dec 24 07:39:11 yes there is Dec 24 07:39:17 cd into that Dec 24 07:39:45 working on it Dec 24 07:40:56 cd BlackLib v3.0 errors no such dir Dec 24 07:41:24 but LS lists it Dec 24 07:42:13 cd BlackLib\ v3.0 Dec 24 07:42:28 yep Dec 24 07:42:44 ls Dec 24 07:43:05 wrong screen ls lists it Dec 24 07:44:14 did you try it with the back-slash? Dec 24 07:44:35 yes it worked Dec 24 07:45:13 good Dec 24 07:45:13 ans I ls the dir and all the files are there Dec 24 07:45:20 now type "make" Dec 24 10:45:38 hi all who can explain why GPIO_IRQSTATUS, GPIO_IRQENABLE are duplicated (bbb, am335x)? Dec 24 12:19:09 Hi Dec 24 12:19:43 Im having trouble accessing my BBB using win 7 Dec 24 12:20:14 helloooooo Dec 24 12:20:21 what is your particular problem? Dec 24 12:20:28 also: always bring patience Dec 24 12:20:38 right on that Dec 24 12:21:09 installed drivers, and can't access the 192.168.7.2 address Dec 24 12:22:20 I have it connected and powered with usb. All LED's seem to be doing OK Dec 24 12:23:07 I am able to access the README htm file on the BBB 'removeable disk' Dec 24 12:25:27 also: I tried pinging 192.168.7.2 in cmd and got reply from 66.75.161.48 'TTL expired in transit' Dec 24 12:27:11 sounds like your network device to it isn't up yet Dec 24 12:28:21 I ran the troubleshooter (windows) on the local area connection (Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget) and it returned ip not configured Dec 24 12:29:37 ah at least you've got the interface Dec 24 12:37:01 how do i configure the ip? Dec 24 12:38:35 you could try restarting the BBB Dec 24 12:39:03 and/or windows Dec 24 12:39:24 I did both Dec 24 12:41:29 and the USB Ethernet device doesn't have an IP address still? Dec 24 12:41:52 ipconfig command has IPv4 address as 169.254.199.39 but unable to access in firefox or putty(SSH) Dec 24 12:42:43 yeah thats a non-existant network .. default ip Dec 24 12:43:17 you could try setting it manually to 192.168.7.1 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0 Dec 24 12:43:31 how do i do that? Dec 24 12:43:38 just to double check, your local network doesn't happen to use 192.168.7.xxx? Dec 24 12:43:54 no Dec 24 12:46:21 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-tcp-ip-settings Dec 24 12:46:34 you'll need to do this obviously for the USB Ethernet connection Dec 24 12:47:25 mahalo Dec 24 12:50:13 what default gateway do I use? Dec 24 12:54:12 none Dec 24 12:54:17 leave that empty Dec 24 12:54:30 as your other network device is your internet connection Dec 24 12:54:40 same for DNS, also left empty Dec 24 12:56:24 what is the propper what to disconnect the BBB if I'm not able to interface the OS? Dec 24 12:56:42 *proper way* Dec 24 12:56:53 you can actually access the serial terminal Dec 24 12:57:17 you'll need to look up as which COM port it's mapped and then should be able to connect to that using putty Dec 24 12:57:48 also if you connect the BBB with a network cable to your local network, then you can access it via its local network address Dec 24 12:58:28 ok so in device manager? under ports I got com7 for 'gadget serial' Dec 24 12:59:01 how do I access that is putty? Dec 24 13:01:00 ok, you showed me the way Dec 24 13:02:08 once you're logged in over serial you can issue the command "shutdown -h now" or "sudo shutdown -h now" Dec 24 13:02:43 it went down Dec 24 13:02:58 what is sudo? i've been seeing that around Dec 24 13:03:55 can I tight vnc with a serial terminal? Dec 24 13:09:56 no, for that you need to get either the USB network or ethernet working Dec 24 13:10:15 "sudo" is the same as the windows context menu "run as administrator" Dec 24 13:13:25 Ok, so the ip configuration returned an error: Windows has detected an ip add. conflict Dec 24 13:13:54 ''another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer.' Dec 24 13:15:39 and you set the IP to 192.168.7.1? Dec 24 13:16:10 no. set to : 192.168.7.2 Dec 24 13:16:42 please set it to .1 Dec 24 13:16:46 as .2 is the BBB Dec 24 13:17:36 ok, so these settings are for the Local Area Connection right? the one that is RNDIS? Dec 24 13:18:23 the one on USB RNDIS, yes Dec 24 13:18:52 It worked! Dec 24 13:20:05 so let me try to understand this... my laptop couldn't communicate with the BBB because it was using another ip address? Dec 24 13:35:01 because, for whatever reasons, your laptop didn't acquire an IP address from the BBB Dec 24 13:35:31 and if it fails it will grab a random address from 169.254.0.0 Dec 24 13:55:17 is mobaxterm any good as a virtual desktop? Dec 24 14:13:30 Guest12665: try it and see if you like it Dec 24 14:51:47 I am thinking to contribute in beagleboard. How should I start ? Dec 24 15:33:20 random-one_: step #1 get one Dec 24 15:33:36 random-one_: step #2: find something that interests you Dec 24 15:33:44 random-one_: step #3: work on it Dec 24 16:03:39 random-one_, document, write up on elinux.org :p Dec 24 16:03:49 following from KotH :D Dec 24 16:33:22 stt_michael and KotH...

I am not able to connect my Beagleboard xM to PC because of some USB error (Code 43). I tried every possible way to eliminate this prob but didnt work.. Plz help Dec 24 20:09:14 Hello Dec 24 20:09:23 manuel Dec 24 20:10:02 Hello Umesh Singla Dec 24 20:11:06 can u help m in guiding how do I connect my Beagleboard xM to PC.. there's a USB error (code43) Dec 24 20:11:37 are there any separate USB drivers available for beagle Dec 24 22:09:16 hi, I'm having trouble sharing my laptop internet connection with BBB. Can someone help me? Dec 24 22:10:24 i have ssh connection, I set my internet connection on laptop to share with the BBB LAN Dec 24 22:10:48 when i try to ping 8.8.8.8 all the packets get lost Dec 24 22:13:21 * SB_ slaps tbr around a bit with a large fishbot Dec 24 22:15:58 helooooooo Dec 24 22:29:36 hello SB Dec 24 22:29:43 you there ? Dec 24 22:35:09 SB_: don't hilight random people, be patient. Dec 24 22:35:14 http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Dec 24 22:36:35 damn dude, you're so helpful Dec 24 22:38:04 Confirmation needed: When I boot up without pressing the boot button on a beaglebone black, uboot loads the uEnv.txt from the eMMC and then transfers control to linux on the SD card (if present)? Dec 24 23:04:54 bminuk: i *think* it will still load uEnv.txt if present and do what it's configured to do. Dec 24 23:05:02 bminuk: but it will still load u-boot from the eMMC Dec 24 23:05:41 bminuk: and weather it boots to SD depends on how uEnv.txt is configured (or possibly other options if mainline u-boot is used) Dec 24 23:20:28 I had HDMI enabled on the SD and disabled on the eMMC, and the HDMI didn't turn on when "booting" from the SD (without pressing the boot button) Dec 24 23:21:37 The only explaination I can think of is that it ignores the uEnv.txt on the SD card if you are not using the boot button Dec 25 00:28:04 tbr: thanks for the help...answers are only as good as the questions asked Dec 25 00:28:45 learn you real good, buddy. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 25 02:59:58 2015
