**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 01 02:59:59 2016 Jan 01 06:04:21 is it safe to use prussdrv in a kernel module? Jan 01 06:07:45 "use"? Jan 01 13:46:46 Hi and Happy New Year. New on this channel. Have bricked my BBB, first accidental damage of the uSD slot and then by mistake I deleted u-boot from the e-mmc, while trying to boot archlinux/arm from the USB port. Any chance of recovering without the uSD card? Thanks! Jan 01 13:48:33 you can send a boot payload over UART or USB Jan 01 13:51:43 Any tutorial/hints on how to boot from usb/uart? Mostly found articles about recovering with uSD. Thanks Jan 01 15:05:35 <][ologramMan> Hi, and Happy New Year. Anybody Home? Need help for virtual DVD using BB Jan 01 15:13:33 <][ologramMan> Still recovering from the party? Jan 01 15:24:55 Anyone knows when I can buy beagleboard? Why there is no purchase link in http://beagleboard.org/x15 Jan 01 15:25:21 beagleboard x15 Jan 01 16:09:13 <][ologramMan> Hello, is anybody able to help me with USB gadget? I need to use a BB black for virtual media emulation (DVD) but I am unable to find the link where it was explained Jan 01 16:09:41 <][ologramMan> I need to access via ssh the BB, set the correct iso image and use it to boot a PC Jan 01 16:42:58 Hello Jan 01 16:44:23 i have a problem guys im writing angstrom to my sd card when its done it resizes the sd card to 70 mb. Jan 01 16:46:19 ][ologramMan: on the BBB its controlled by a script in /opt. The generic documentation is in the kernel (keywords: gadget usb) Jan 01 16:51:22 <][ologramMan> tbr, many thanks but I rememer a page where the whole process was documented Jan 01 16:51:39 <][ologramMan> I need for a complex project on which this is just a small part Jan 01 16:52:01 * tbr is not familiar with any such page Jan 01 16:52:28 basically it should either be just unloading/loading modules or poking sysfs Jan 01 16:52:34 fairly simple, really Jan 01 16:58:01 So does anyone know its resized to 70 mb.How do i get the 8 gb back(without formatting it ) Jan 01 16:58:29 Meteg-han: you should be able to just use 'parted'? Jan 01 17:00:23 yeah Jan 01 17:01:32 i checked the disc management i can see the full size Jan 01 17:01:42 but its somehow not available Jan 01 17:04:51 <][ologramMan> I would need a fairly step by step to go through this, never tried usb gadget Jan 01 17:06:30 <][ologramMan> Do you mean it is easy to present a mounted .iso file as DVD to boot from if I connect a pc to it? Jan 01 17:08:55 you don't need to mount an iso file, you just point the gadget driver at an iso file and pass the arguments to make it a cdrom drive Jan 01 17:14:53 so what should i do to get back to the 8 gigs Jan 01 17:15:03 it works but i need to install opencv Jan 01 17:31:12 <][ologramMan> tbr, I would really appreciate if you could give me a hand about it, please ping me at giuseppe at marullo dot it many thanks in advance Jan 01 17:33:59 huh? Jan 01 17:36:55 <][ologramMan> I meant to send me an email Jan 01 17:37:39 <][ologramMan> giuseppe@marullo.it it is my email address Jan 01 17:38:25 you mean you need professional consultancy services on this? Jan 01 17:41:07 <][ologramMan> Well, no it will be a opensource project hopefully, just a hint or two, if you have a page where it is described in a little detail I could make it Jan 01 17:42:04 <][ologramMan> need to create something this, able to carry on bare metal installations using human-like emulation: http://www.sikuli.org/ Jan 01 17:42:40 <][ologramMan> need to be able to access bios level (using a frame grabber / IP KVM like a Raritan) but wanted to use a virtual media emulator (like VE-300 of Zalman) Jan 01 17:43:17 <][ologramMan> VE-300 does everything I need but it is not "programmable" remotely, can't add an iso image without pulling from target pc Jan 01 17:43:52 <][ologramMan> Else, BBB could be remotely accessed using ssh, so changing/adding an iso is easy. I am unable to find on the market a similar device Jan 01 17:45:29 <][ologramMan> Raritan / Avocent could do it, but pretty pricey (2k+ USD) Jan 01 17:46:07 <][ologramMan> I think BBB could be ideal for this Jan 01 17:51:51 <][ologramMan> Anyway I will try to follow docs as you said about usb gadget thanks Jan 01 17:55:53 it should be fairly easy to do this Jan 01 17:56:14 if you prefer email, then you should consider joining the beagleboard google group Jan 01 18:35:32 Hi, need a little help setting up my beaglebone white. Jan 01 18:36:13 After installing the drivers and plugging it in, I cannot browse to 192.168.7.2 Jan 01 18:37:04 also, the two steps which are supposed to turn green on the webpage have failed to do so... Jan 01 19:36:27 i'm writing a linux kernel module following this guide: http://derekmolloy.ie/kernel-gpio-programming-buttons-and-leds/ -- instead of handling the button interrupt i want to handle an interrupt triggered by the PRU. how do I do that while prussdrv is running? Jan 01 19:51:36 Hey why my bbb doesnt boot from sd card any ideas? Jan 01 19:53:08 oh its actually a sdhc card. is this the problem? Jan 01 19:59:54 Trying to set eth0 static IP, but the normal /etc/network/interfaces is not effective. Do I need to edit scripts in /opt/scripts/boot? Jan 01 20:42:59 i'm writing a kernel module and i'm having trouble figuring out how to be interrupted by the PRU Jan 01 22:05:38 did any of you try to flash emmc with usb cable ? Jan 01 22:20:44 is there a symbol/address list of public rom functions for the am335x? Jan 01 22:21:41 actually all i am looking for is a semi-accurate delay loop. Jan 01 22:22:41 zmatt: happy new year Jan 01 22:23:10 zmatt: i've got the ddr3 initialization code done Jan 01 22:23:26 i should say coded - now i have to test it.. Jan 01 22:23:30 So im trying to flash the emmc with sd card I've seen few videos ,leds are not flashing like in the videos they do. they are like randomly flashing. Im using usb cable not 5v adapter is that why? And another issue when i write angstrom image to my sd card it resizes it to 70 mb i have no idea why.. Jan 01 22:24:06 can anyone help ? Jan 01 22:24:30 thesorcerer: what are you using to write the image to sdcard? Jan 01 22:25:16 usb supplying +5v should not be a problem Jan 01 22:25:33 are you holding the s2 boot switch when you apply power? Jan 01 22:28:25 win32 image writer i think Jan 01 22:28:32 yeah i do Jan 01 22:28:48 ah its win32disk imager Jan 01 22:29:46 9v is written on the cable Jan 01 22:30:50 why are you using the angstrom image? the debian images are probably more vetted? Jan 01 22:30:55 s/?/./ Jan 01 22:31:13 so i take it you're on windows? Jan 01 22:31:30 i tried debian image as well i mean not the flasher i couldnt find a flasher so i just tried to boot debian from sd but leds are still flashing randomly Jan 01 22:31:33 yeah im on windows Jan 01 22:32:22 so your only criteria for thinking it's not working is due to the pattern of the led flashes? that sounds a little suspect. Jan 01 22:32:45 try it. try the RDIS network interface over usb. what is it, 192.168.7.7 or somesuch? Jan 01 22:33:11 what do you mean you couldn't find a flasher? Jan 01 22:33:30 i mean an emmc debian flasher. Jan 01 22:33:39 and i think third led is not flashing at all Jan 01 22:34:10 i need to flash the emmc i accidently formatted it :D Jan 01 22:34:45 i would go one step at a time: 1) flash the non-flash version of debian to sdcard and just boot using s2 switch Jan 01 22:34:55 see if that works. Jan 01 22:35:05 then 2) try the flasher version. Jan 01 22:35:20 --non-flasher Jan 01 22:35:29 ignore that last line... Jan 01 22:35:38 i would go one step at a time: 1) flash the non-flasher version of debian to sdcard and just boot using s2 switch Jan 01 22:35:59 okay i get it. how long should it take? Jan 01 22:36:10 about 30 seconds, maybe less Jan 01 22:36:11 and there is no flasher for debian as they removed it from their site i think Jan 01 22:36:50 u mean i will write debian to sd card then i will boot it from sd card and it wil take 30 secs? Jan 01 22:37:45 here is a non-flasher version: http://builds.beagleboard.org/images/master/08132bf0d0cb284d1148c5d329fe3c8e1aaee44d/bone-debian-7.9-lxde-4gb-armhf-2015-11-12-4gb.img.xz Jan 01 22:38:31 yes i allready downloaded non flasher version but i'll need the flasher version to flash the eMMC right? Jan 01 22:38:34 i mean that, once you've flashed the sdcard and placed it into your bbb, then when you apply power with the s2 button pressed, you should reach full boot in about 30 seconds. Jan 01 22:39:03 don't worry about that yet, do the first step - see if you can get it working. Jan 01 22:39:24 if you read the directions here: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Jan 01 22:39:43 so in 30 seconds all 4 of the leds will lit continuously? Jan 01 22:39:50 you see that it is the same image, you just have to edit /boot/uEnv.txt to get the flasher version Jan 01 22:40:13 yeah i tried it but couldnt find that line in the uEnv.txt Jan 01 22:40:18 thesorcerer: during normal operation, all four leds will not be on continuously Jan 01 22:41:58 were you looking in the linux partition? Jan 01 22:42:21 no i was just looking in the sd card Jan 01 22:42:39 how to get to the linux partition Jan 01 22:43:22 i don't know under windows, i use linux Jan 01 22:44:13 i'm not going to discuss the emmc boot questions any further. i've made my suggestion. if you want to ignore it, i won't be hleping you any more. Jan 01 22:44:43 no im writing debian to sd card now. Jan 01 22:45:43 good Jan 01 22:46:38 note also that you only have to hold the boot switch for a few seconds, until one of the leds come on, not the entire 30 seconds Jan 01 22:47:19 what about this resizing problem? Jan 01 22:47:39 when i write image to my sd card it resizes it to 70 mb from 8 gbs Jan 01 22:47:57 So i want to install opencv but with this resizing issue its not possible is it Jan 01 22:48:21 i would just give it a try anyway. perhaps you're misinterpreting something. Jan 01 22:49:52 if it is indeed a real problem, then you will probably need to reexaming your flash procedure. there are definitely ways to resize to a larger partition, but i don't know how to do it under windows Jan 01 22:50:11 just get to step 1: get it to boot Jan 01 22:50:29 ...first. Jan 01 22:50:56 then you know you have a good sdcard, good sdreader, good bbb board, etc. Jan 01 22:50:59 many variables. Jan 01 22:51:15 well cant i do it from dabian? Jan 01 22:51:21 huh? Jan 01 22:51:30 i connect to bbb with vnc viewer Jan 01 22:51:48 like a virtual machine so cant i do the resizing it to larger partition Jan 01 22:52:17 so let's back up: are you saying it is now booting? Jan 01 22:53:27 no i formatted the sd card with some formatter and re writing the debian if it doesnt resize it this time.. Jan 01 22:54:24 i think you have something more fundamentally wrong. Jan 01 22:54:48 oh like? Jan 01 22:54:54 either your image is corrupt, or your image writing software isn't working right, or your sdcard reader isn't working, or something Jan 01 22:55:54 so you're saying you took the unmodified image from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images, wrote it to the sdcard, plugged the sdcard into the bbb, applied power with the s2 applied, and it's not booting? Jan 01 22:56:12 well angstrom is taking like forever Jan 01 22:56:17 and im about to try the debian Jan 01 22:56:29 haha Jan 01 23:01:32 * zmatt sees highlight Jan 01 23:01:58 oh yates left again Jan 01 23:02:04 yeah Jan 01 23:02:39 and another question does anyone know how to install opencv for python on angstrom? Jan 01 23:03:25 it is hard to exclude the possibility that someone might know how to do such a thing Jan 02 00:39:21 Hello... Jan 02 00:40:43 jello Jan 02 00:44:01 Hey Gen... Jan 02 00:44:12 Happy New Year 2016! Jan 02 00:45:41 I have been on a computer break for about a month now. Yikes! Jan 02 00:46:14 Talk about some updates for my BBB and BBG. Dang... Jan 02 00:47:06 Trying to find how to set a static ip for eth0 on the BBB, as /etc/network/interfaces edits aren't working. Is it related to /opt/scripts/boot? Jan 02 00:52:07 Good question. I am sure someone will be able to help. Jan 02 00:54:11 somazero unfortunatey those who could answer that aren't probably present at this time. It may help perusing the pages. I'm fairly sure you can pass parameters at boot time. Jan 02 00:55:44 GenTooMan, I appreciate it - I'm wondering if it's a matter of using Connman... Jan 02 00:58:48 Yes, definitely related to Connman... Jan 02 00:59:19 It seems ConnMan is used on the Jessie images... Jan 02 01:07:20 doesn't it by default use DHCP to find the boards IP for IPV4? does it by default use IPV4 dhcp or using IPV6 method first then switch to IPV4 dhcp. The latter is what gentoo uses. Jan 02 01:07:41 It uses dhcp as default. Jan 02 01:08:03 I just need a static in my particular use case. Jan 02 01:08:45 somazero: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/boot/7pex-V9vYWw Jan 02 01:10:24 veremit you are alive.
