**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 20 02:59:59 2016 Oct 20 04:08:12 tlab: I just had a disturbing thought, are those files maybe copied into the initramfs? Oct 20 04:09:55 after making sure there's no /lib/firmware/TT3201-001*.dtbo, try running update-initramfs -u Oct 20 04:09:59 and reboot Oct 20 06:15:15 Is there a way too see what the maximal size is I can assign using "modprobe uio_pruss extram_pool_sz=xxx" ? Oct 20 08:59:46 hi Oct 20 09:00:40 hello? Oct 20 09:01:12 oh hai! Oct 20 09:01:39 i have a querry that if nothing is there in emmc of beaglebone.. can i able to bring the board up? Oct 20 09:03:57 Can I ask questions about BBGW here? Oct 20 09:10:46 I was hoping to chat with technical support of SeeedStudio... Oct 20 10:50:54 i have a querry that if nothing is there in emmc of beaglebone.. can i able to bring the board up? <--- you can flash it with sdcard, see for example http://derekmolloy.ie/write-a-new-image-to-the-beaglebone-black/ Oct 20 10:51:45 iirc there was also some way to boot run the rootfs from sdcard but not sure if i'd recommend using that Oct 20 11:01:09 Yes, you can boot from sdcard, which is useful for rescuing a broken config; to flash a new system, you should change the line in /boot/uEnv.txt (or /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt depending on your version) of the sd card to enable the boot flasher. Oct 20 11:51:18 tlab: Are you using the overlay from zmatt's git? or have you modified it? Oct 20 13:35:02 i have tried with this link http://derekmolloy.ie/write-a-new-image-to-the-beaglebone-black/ but my board is not booting Oct 20 13:35:10 please help Oct 20 14:24:09 oh, ein OM. Oct 20 15:20:53 Hi. My BBB resets when plugging in an Ethernet cable. Oct 20 15:20:59 Have you heard of such a behavior? Oct 20 15:24:17 I am using the provided Debian 8.6 (Jessie/stable), and the system is up to date (`sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade`), Linux beaglebone 4.4.9-ti-r25 #1 SMP Thu May 5 23:08:13 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Oct 20 15:42:54 Which Linux kernel flavor(?) should I use, if I want to run 4.9-rc1? Oct 20 15:42:57 linux-image-4.9.0-rc1-bone0 Oct 20 15:43:24 There is no 4.9.0-rc1-ti. Oct 20 15:46:57 tlab: Do you think we should try to get a hold of RCN to see what he has to say about our issue. I am kind of getting very bored of this still being an issue. Oct 20 15:47:02 But it, Oct 20 15:48:17 I dont get the same errors as you by using an DT rather than an overlay, I sent the overlay I have used to you now on mail. Basically I get no errors at all, but mcp is not working. The other spi nodes in the overlay is working fine. Oct 20 15:48:28 Link here btw: http://dpaste.com/1M1F8M3.txt Oct 20 15:49:26 And i copied the irq.h from zmatts overlay-utils so that i could set the directions on the interupts a little easier Oct 20 16:01:29 what are you working on Oct 20 16:26:05 me? Oct 20 18:10:21 Good evening. I was just wondering if beaglebone black is programable in C++??? Oct 20 18:10:31 yes Oct 20 18:10:51 Okay. Thank you for the info. Oct 20 18:11:00 It wasn't much but you're welcome anyway :) Oct 20 18:11:19 it's a full up linux system so you can program in practically anything Oct 20 18:11:26 Python, Perl, etc Oct 20 18:11:49 brainfuck. Oct 20 18:12:11 No that is forbidden D: Oct 20 18:12:45 hm. Oct 20 18:41:15 so sometimes i read patents in my free time Oct 20 18:41:26 and i decided to read some national instruments patents... Oct 20 18:41:59 i read a whole lot of BS, basically patenting simple and common functions but drowning it in jargon so that it makes it through the office sounding new, i guess Oct 20 18:42:21 and so i'm using node red and i'm pretty sure it is in direct violation of one of said bullshit patents Oct 20 18:44:01 that patent can't hold water, but i just think its interesting how some companies operate Oct 20 18:44:58 I think it's try to patent everything we think we can and worry about implications later Oct 20 18:49:21 They also patent everything that's not trivially known to have a patent, so they may cry foul at the drop of a hat, even if said thing is prior art. Many ideas in that category are nebulous, which is what MakerBot is doing. Oct 20 18:50:21 what do you mean about makerbot? Oct 20 18:50:31 does anyone else find that behavior upsetting, because i do Oct 20 18:53:13 MakerBot took a bunch of prior art from the reprap community and patented it. If those patents hold water, every Prusa 3D printer on earth is in violation. The community ofc is ignoring that, but few individuals have the means to withstand litigation over it, despite a fairly clear prior art situation. Oct 20 18:53:45 So far I've not heard of suit, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Oct 20 18:56:12 so what organizations are there to oppose this type of fundamentally abusive behavior? Oct 20 18:56:32 haha sorry you just seem to know a lot about it Oct 20 18:56:36 (shrug) Dunno. Oct 20 18:56:58 I have a Prusa i3 and have spend a lot of time on #reprap. Oct 20 19:01:35 ayjay_t: well you can patent just about anything in the US and even if you have nothing to show but a patent _application_, you can still threaten others into a litigation Oct 20 19:01:52 i had no idea Oct 20 19:02:24 http://www.ni.com/pdf/legal/us/patent_notice.pdf Oct 20 19:02:31 so they just send this to people to terrify them into giving up eh Oct 20 19:02:51 it's as easy as showing up at their front door (figuratively) and sounding serious. Oct 20 19:03:23 okay but like, if someone has invested in a project, they've probably already done some research Oct 20 19:03:28 i feel like this is supposed to be preemptive, but who knows Oct 20 19:03:59 the node-red clearly violates the labview patent that allows sending "block diagram and flowchart type programming interfaces over URIs for the purpose of programming machines" Oct 20 19:04:05 so maybe not Oct 20 19:26:50 How can I change the console device to use ttyO2 in Debian Jessie? I tried modifying SOC.sh but it didn't have any effect. Oct 20 19:28:15 puzz-mobile, console=ttyO3,115200n8 in /boot/uEnv.txt Oct 20 19:31:15 rcn-ee: Thank you. I guess every non-comment line in uEnv.txt is an argument to the kernel? Oct 20 19:31:58 puzz-mobile, it's just a list of variables for u-boot to either use or pass to the kernel via the cmdline.. Oct 20 19:32:20 Ah. Makes sense. Thanks! Oct 20 19:32:46 SOC.sh is use by the eMMC flasher and the bootloader updater... Just a quick reminder how the partition was layed out.. Oct 20 19:33:33 I made my own modified version of the eMMC flasher and I am trying to debug it via the console. :) Oct 20 19:42:08 rcn-ee: No dice. dmesg shows "console=tty0 console=ttyO2" and I'm not sure where the tty0 line is coming from. Oct 20 19:44:13 rcn-ee: ...I take that back. My USB-serial device crapped out. Oct 20 19:44:16 puzz-mobile, that's right: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/Bootloader-Builder/blob/master/patches/v2016.11-rc2/0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch#L976-L981 Oct 20 19:45:19 https://www.microchip.com/design-centers/memory/serial-eeram Oct 20 19:45:29 sram + eeram = nonvolatile sram Oct 20 19:46:00 writes automatically on powerdown with the help of a cap Oct 20 19:48:12 rcn-ee: Looking at the patch you just linked, at L1202 the bootdir variable is set. Shouldn't it be used later on L1207 for example ? Oct 20 19:49:12 I was struggling with this in the morning. I manage to workaround that, but i though it use the variable instead Oct 20 19:49:28 I was struggling with this in the morning. I manage to workaround that, but i though it should use the variable instead Oct 20 19:52:14 LaMs, it could be, i just didn't copy that 6 times. ;) Oct 20 20:20:46 ffs, I forgot the init= in my uEnv.txt call to my flasher. Works now. Oct 20 20:32:01 hey puzz-mobile, was making a custom flasher hard? Oct 20 20:32:07 i mean, what does your custom flasher do Oct 20 20:44:37 ayjay_t: I mostly just modified the one already there. I have a single / partition that is read-only through fsprotect and a r/w /home. It was a pretty simple change. Oct 20 20:46:14 Sounds nice. You log to RAM, or just don't log? Oct 20 20:48:20 interesting Oct 21 02:47:19 Ragnorok: log to ram. Sorry about the late response. Fsprotect is just an AUFS of a ramdisk and the eMMC. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Oct 21 02:59:58 2016
