**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 03 02:59:58 2016 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 03 05:29:15 2016 Mar 03 09:17:05 I wrote dts file for configure p8_27(0x26) to input PRU 1 (r31.t8). When i set the 3.3V from GPIO, r31.t8 value not changed from the 0. Any ideas? Mar 03 09:25:55 It works. As always =( Mar 03 10:49:07 hey im an student in university of moratuwa,srilanka in computer science and engineering departnebt Mar 03 10:49:29 and im an undergraduate as a integrated computer engineering Mar 03 10:49:44 and i want to knw about the projects regarding GSoC Mar 03 10:50:35 because i worked with arduino and raspberry pi during my academic period Mar 03 10:50:51 so im interested to know about your projects regarding GSoc Mar 03 10:53:13 hey im an student in university of moratuwa,srilanka in computer science and engineering department Mar 03 11:45:08 Is there a description of the differences between console, iot and lxqt builds for Jessie that are on the eLinux wiki (http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Debian_Image_Testing_Snapshots) Mar 03 12:12:25 Geof: iot is new to me, but console is very minimal. The lxqt builds ship a full desktop environment, so are not very useful for embedded work. Mar 03 12:13:25 Ok, thanks you and I are in the same boat. I understood console and lxqt, and my real question was what's in the iot build? I could use a build more like console that has nodejs installed. Mar 03 12:13:41 And python etc. Mar 03 12:13:55 I'll give the iot a try just for yucks. Mar 03 12:15:54 hang about til rcn-ee shows up .. I know his build scripts are up on his github Mar 03 12:21:41 Will do. Thanks. Mar 03 12:36:01 I suspect IoT might have all the shiny bits like mosquitto, node-red, etc Mar 03 12:36:27 BTW, I just booted up the IOT image and it does have NodeJS. So I think you're right. Good features, but headless. Mar 03 12:38:14 I've been off of BBB for quite a while. Coming back to find Debian as the base is very nice. :-) Mar 03 12:39:36 unable to communicate uart1,2,3,4,5 in beagleboneblack Mar 03 12:40:52 erm, yerwhat Mar 03 12:55:55 veremit: not just on uart, also in general it seems ;) Mar 03 12:57:00 tbr: there should be more triage on the web front-end :P Mar 03 12:57:36 veremit: just add a "are you human" captcha, should filter out most problems. *snerk* Mar 03 12:57:57 just what I was thinking but maybe a little more obscure :D Mar 03 12:58:31 something like "what does IRC Stand for" .. lol Mar 03 13:01:46 beagle bone black uart is not working Mar 03 13:03:29 elaborate Mar 03 13:15:06 actually i wanted to enable the uart 1,2,3,4 in BBB Mar 03 13:17:14 you need to load the appropriate DT overlays Mar 03 13:17:34 this will also depend on which kernel version you are running Mar 03 17:08:54 Hi all. I'm having trouble connecting to the BBB rev A5A. It doesn't appear as a new device anywhere. Mar 03 17:09:00 I've tried mac os and linux Mar 03 17:09:21 dmesg is silent when I plug it in, cat that be normal? Mar 03 17:09:39 I bought it used, so have no idea what software is installed in there, if any Mar 03 17:10:09 leds are blinking normally, 0 as hartbeat and 2 (cpu usage) indicates something all the time Mar 03 17:11:09 tried 192.168.7.2 in browser and ssh, no success Mar 03 17:11:42 I'm using debian btw, is there some way to check if the board is broken? Mar 03 17:12:27 untitled: likely the image installed doesn't expose itself over USB Mar 03 17:13:32 untitled: just get the most recent flasher image and reflash the board Mar 03 17:13:59 tbr: how should I do it, if there is no device to upload the image to? Mar 03 17:14:19 untitled: it has a microSD slot Mar 03 17:15:02 yep, only a slot, but I have no microSD :) Mar 03 17:15:23 I was hoping to flash the built in memory right away Mar 03 17:16:17 nope Mar 03 17:16:21 get a microSD Mar 03 17:17:06 longer version: it might be possible, but before you have learned it you'd have procured a lot of microSD cards Mar 03 17:19:28 what do you mean "learned it"? shouldn't the board's eMMC appear in /dev normally, even without an SD card? Mar 03 17:19:39 and then it would be just dd Mar 03 17:26:17 no Mar 03 19:02:09 rcn-ee: so, what things should i try compiling into the kernel rather than as modules to get esata working on the bbx15? Mar 03 19:04:01 * vagrantc wonders if u-boot might be impacting esata Mar 03 19:04:03 vagrantc, look at pipe3, dwc3.. Mar 03 19:05:01 vagrantc, oh and don't 'usb init' in u-boot (and therefor scsi init), ti's confirmed our usb 3 bug.. usb3 supper speed isn't properly re-init'ed in the kernel.. Mar 03 19:05:40 well, i should be safe from that, as "usb start" in my patched u-boot resets the board... :/ Mar 03 19:05:50 even better. ;) Mar 03 19:07:00 overall, i've got it working well enough with a usb3 to sata adapter ... native sata would be nicer (especially if that allows use of TRIM commands) Mar 03 19:07:54 rcn-ee: CONFIG_OMAP_OCP2SCP=m Mar 03 19:08:01 that seems to mention sata as well Mar 03 19:09:05 * vagrantc thanks cross-toolchains and ccache Mar 03 19:30:08 rcn-ee: hm. so, with +CONFIG_OMAP_OCP2SCP=y, +CONFIG_OMAP_CONTROL_PHY=y and +CONFIG_TI_PIPE3=y eSATA works ... Mar 03 19:30:33 * vagrantc wonders which are strictly necessary. Mar 03 19:36:27 vagrantc, it's more like 3 generic pieces of one generic driver ;) Mar 03 19:36:47 * vagrantc nods Mar 03 19:37:44 might be ok to enable them in the armmp kernel Mar 03 19:37:53 but my guess is not. Mar 03 19:38:03 * vagrantc will open a bug to at least discuss the issue Mar 03 19:38:31 a bug might be enough to get someone to fix the module issue. ;) Mar 03 19:38:43 * vagrantc nods Mar 03 19:40:13 oh yeah, i forgot to take a deeper look at options to auto power on ... Mar 03 19:40:37 someone mentioned using the jtag connector Mar 03 19:42:21 though there was a thread on beagleboard-x15 about the pmic mod needed for auto-power on... Mar 03 19:42:42 vagrantc, olof's "auto power on" thread... Mar 03 19:42:47 yeah, i remember, though it sounded like it had some serious downsides Mar 03 19:43:14 way too late, but what i wouldn't give for a jumper to determine auto power on Mar 03 19:43:51 looks like it's got a few jumpers to determine boot device, at least Mar 03 19:44:08 anyone tried direct sata boot? Mar 03 19:44:24 those won't be available on the production units.. Mar 03 19:44:47 sata boot (thru mmc) was working great, as long as you don't want usb3 "super speed"... Mar 03 19:44:57 ah well. Mar 03 19:45:26 but yeah, i had u-boot, init the scsci device, read for /boot/uEnv.txt then load the kernel/initrd... Mar 03 19:46:08 u-boot loaded off of sd/emmc but able to boot off of sata would be good enough ... and /boot on emmc is fine too. Mar 03 19:46:42 really need to get u-boot support upstreamed ... but the patches i've got so far seem a little hackish Mar 03 19:46:58 one of them even mentions HACK in the subject. :) Mar 03 19:47:32 haven't taken a look at ti-u-boot lately to rebase the forward-ported patches against ... Mar 03 19:48:09 they've been just adding support for 'secure' parts... Mar 03 19:48:21 rcn-ee: esata was still broken in 4.4.x ? Mar 03 19:48:49 i belive so.. 4.5-rcX was the first when it just worked on mainline.. Mar 03 19:49:16 i guess i can just report against 4.5 ... Mar 03 19:49:40 it just needs to work by 4.10. ;) Mar 03 19:49:51 that seems to be the plan Mar 03 19:51:51 rcn-ee: btw, what are those new IoT images? Mar 03 19:52:26 tbr, just no xorg by default ;) Mar 03 19:52:50 rcn-ee: ah, so it's lxqt minus the graphical bits Mar 03 19:53:33 yeap, sit's around 1.6GB installed.. all the nodejs/python/build-essential... Mar 03 19:53:39 *nod* Mar 03 19:54:54 you could throw in a few of those iot things, node-red, mosquitto (tools, server), something for coap Mar 03 19:55:35 tbr, node-red is installed ;) Mar 03 19:55:48 :) Mar 03 19:57:17 tbr, mosquitto 1.3.4 is available in jessie, would that work? or do you need stretch's version? Mar 03 19:57:48 ah stretch's version needs libwebsock's.. Mar 03 19:58:09 I think you can build it without Mar 03 19:58:50 though I think the 1.4 series is generally better. But I think if someone _really_ wants that they can rebuild from SID or the launchpad repositories Mar 03 20:05:08 Anyone have a ballpark estimate for the power draw on the upcoming BeagleBoard X15? Mar 03 20:10:03 mdutton3: had you asked me just a few minutes ago, i could've check before moving it... Mar 03 20:12:43 mdutton3, 12V 5A supply will power 'everything connected...' Mar 03 21:20:04 rcn-ee: Thanks! Mar 03 21:48:42 hello folks Mar 03 21:48:54 any helpers here? Mar 03 21:49:08 http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Mar 03 21:51:15 i am having a hell of a time trying to load a different os on this little box Mar 03 21:52:18 best i can get is the thing boots the OS off the SSD but never actually installs it Mar 03 21:53:02 using the little boot button makes no difference Mar 03 21:54:15 SSD created on OS X, Windows, GUIs, cli - makes no difference Mar 03 21:54:44 lost1_: I assume you're talking about a beaglebone... are you using the flasher image? Mar 03 21:55:17 yup - beaglebone black Mar 03 21:55:24 ver b & c Mar 03 21:55:26 or if you're using one of the latest images from here: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Mar 03 21:55:32 same behavior Mar 03 21:55:33 did you follow the note there Mar 03 21:55:40 "To turn these images into eMMC flasher images..." Mar 03 21:55:59 using pre-compiled kali & ubuntu images Mar 03 21:56:46 oh. They might not support flashing to the emmc, that would be up to the kali/ubuntu image maintainers Mar 03 21:57:30 they're probably just meant to be run off the sd card Mar 03 21:59:24 i have not alexhiam Mar 03 21:59:32 lemme try that Mar 03 21:59:50 that init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh script might not be on those images though Mar 03 22:00:19 gotcha Mar 03 22:00:41 let me try debian from the link you provided Mar 03 22:27:32 while i am waiting for that to download, what is "normal" behavior for this box? Mar 03 22:29:01 lost1_, 'normal'... what's the image name you are writting to the microSD? Mar 03 22:30:15 if powered up with sad inserted, it does not boot - just sits there with usr1 & usr2 lets lit solid Mar 03 22:30:31 lets=leds Mar 03 22:30:59 so remove power, insert microSD, hold boot button, insert power, wait for led to light, remove finger nail from boot button.. Mar 03 22:33:31 could it be that i am powering from mac usb? Mar 03 22:34:07 2 minutes holding down the button - no led activity other than power led is lit Mar 03 22:34:48 power from wall usb charger, it boots the image on ssd Mar 03 22:34:55 lost1_, how did you dd it from mac? did you dd to the drive (correct) or the partiion (incorrect) Mar 03 22:35:02 but does not flash the emmc Mar 03 22:35:29 anything else connected to the BeagleBone drawing current? Mar 03 22:35:31 lost1_, unless it says "eMMC-flasher" it WILL NOT flash the eMMC by default, you need to edit /boot/uEnv.txt to enable it.. Mar 03 22:36:07 $ sudo dd if=/Users/coeus/Downloads/ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-bbb.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=512k Mar 03 22:36:39 lost1_, "snappy" -> #snappy on irc, not our problem. ;) Mar 03 22:37:03 no idea what they did, for the bootloader... Mar 03 22:37:35 or... $ sudo dd bs=1m if=kali-2.1-bbb.img of=/dev/rdisk1 Mar 03 22:38:00 those are the 2 images i am attempting Mar 03 22:38:10 lost1_: like I said, try one of those debian images, and make that change it you want to flash it to the emmc Mar 03 22:38:32 those debian images are the only ones maintained and supported by beagleboard.org Mar 03 22:38:38 nothing els connected to bbb Mar 03 22:38:48 lost1_, for "kali" ping the guys you downloaded it from, for "snappy" bug #snappy. ;) Mar 03 22:39:14 the debian image is still downloading Mar 03 22:39:28 i am going to try that Mar 03 22:40:39 if you want to try and figure out what's going on and you have a USB-UART converter you could try watching the debug UART and see what the bootloader is doing Mar 03 22:41:32 I messed up my BBB - I think because I was root all the time in terminal windows Mar 03 22:42:18 could it be that my board is a dud? Mar 03 22:42:31 lost1_, not-likely.. Mar 03 22:42:42 so powering via usb, button held in Mar 03 22:42:47 I'm going to rebuild on a new microSD - 32 gigs at 90 mb/sec Mar 03 22:42:56 2 minutes - nothing happens Mar 03 22:42:59 twoten, bmaptools Mar 03 22:43:14 neither sad or emac tries to load Mar 03 22:43:24 lost1_: the button won't do anything if those images don't have the flasher script Mar 03 22:44:06 ahh sweet - thanks Dude! Mar 03 22:44:54 it does have uEnv.txt file Mar 03 22:45:32 looks a little different than the debian one, which is expected Mar 03 22:46:15 the lack of "attempting" to read anything is what concerns me Mar 03 22:46:47 no idea what "normal" behavior for this little guy is Mar 03 22:47:24 well, like rcn-ee said, we can't help you with the snappy or kali images. What it does when it boots depends on the image Mar 03 22:49:42 we'll know soon enough - debian 8.3 is almost done downloading Mar 03 23:30:38 looking for a Wifi/Bluethooth cape for Beaglebone Black? Mar 03 23:32:56 maybe, watcha got? Mar 03 23:52:43 great Mar 03 23:53:10 so this debian 8.3 file writes to sad just fine Mar 03 23:53:25 checksum matched after downloaded Mar 03 23:53:47 once written to sad, it throws an error - The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. Mar 03 23:54:14 hold button in BBB and boot from ssd Mar 03 23:54:46 it loads and looks like it is working Mar 03 23:55:22 lights never stops flashing :( Mar 03 23:55:52 eventually remove sad and boot bob - same ole load it shipped with Mar 03 23:56:00 grrr Mar 03 23:58:16 root@beaglebone:~# uname -a Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux Mar 04 01:52:27 hello! I just acquired an old beagleboard Rev C4 and I was wondering if there is any way to SSH into it over the usb otg port like I can with a beaglebone black? Mar 04 02:04:08 amish: you'lll probably need a recent board image, but in principle, there's no reason why not. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 04 02:59:58 2016
