Feb 20 04:45:45 <woodmeister> any you crazies home?
Feb 20 07:12:15 <lore4> hello :)
Feb 20 07:33:00 <Harry34> hello, if i get a bb-black-wireless, does everything work with originial debian images? or do i need vendor images?
Feb 20 08:05:21 <zmatt> Harry34: what do you mean with "original debian images" ?
Feb 20 08:06:26 <zmatt> debian releases no images for the beaglebone, those are made by rcn (Robert Nelson) for beagleboard.org
Feb 20 08:08:47 <zmatt> if you don't want too much preinstalled crap, start with the latest console image and install whatever you want
Feb 20 08:17:51 <zmatt> Harry34: you could probably also start with a generic armhf userspace (e.g. debootstrap), add rcn-ee's debian repo, install a suitable kernel, and install the bb-wl18xx-firmware package, or download it and extract the parts you care about
Feb 20 08:19:09 <zmatt> I noticed bb-wl18xx-firmware "Depends: connman" and its scripts do really foul stuff...
Feb 20 08:20:01 <zmatt> like patch the MAC address into the firmware blob using dd
Feb 20 08:30:56 <zmatt> ok this package could definitely use somewhat more elegance... hooking it up to connman in tether mode is a piece of policy that really doesn't belong in this package (users may not want connman at all)
Feb 20 08:32:23 <zmatt> and MAC address ought to be provided by u-boot via DT (obtained from the range of 3 MAC addresses allocated to each AM335x)
Feb 20 08:51:02 <zmatt> Harry34: probably the weird MAC address hack has a story behind it, maybe search the forum
Feb 20 11:31:39 <lore4> see you later
Feb 20 13:07:32 <lore4> hi :)
Feb 20 13:25:35 <sj___> hi
Feb 20 13:25:56 <sj___> currently using beaglebone black
Feb 20 13:26:23 <sj___> unbale to connect bbb via LAN
Feb 20 13:26:42 <sj___> only  led0 & led2 blinking
Feb 20 13:29:44 <zeekhuge> sj___: you trying to ssh into BBB ?
Feb 20 13:30:26 <sj___> yes
Feb 20 13:31:03 <zeekhuge> check if your actually connected. use 'ifconfig' to see if you are actually connected.
Feb 20 13:31:43 <sj___> I am using router to check the connected devices in the network
Feb 20 13:31:59 <sj___> but I am not getting Ip address of beaglebone black
Feb 20 13:33:14 <zeekhuge> try nmap ? like I am on ip address 192.168.1.2 and BBB may be on 192.168.1.6
Feb 20 13:33:32 <sj___> ok I will check it
Feb 20 13:33:34 <zeekhuge> then i would just use 'nmap -F 192.168.1.*'
Feb 20 13:33:52 <zeekhuge> and it will list all the devices on that network
Feb 20 13:34:07 <zeekhuge> sj___: that 192.168.1.5 was an example
Feb 20 13:34:58 <sj___> ok
Feb 20 15:15:06 <Guest1431> anybody know how to interface m2m shield to beagle
Feb 20 15:27:12 <Anish_> Hi,  I am connected to beagle bone black with vncserver. I am trying to import Tkinter but, it is sowing some error  error is  ImportError: No module Named Tkinter  However, I am seeing a file called lib-tk in /usr/lib/python2.7/
Feb 20 16:58:22 <Ak> Hello everyone. I want to set up Modbus on Beaglebone. I have previously set up CAN on Beaglebone with device tree overlay files available online. But I am not able to find more about modbus. Can you guys please guide me for the same?

Feb 20 17:18:04 <Ak> hello
Feb 21 01:47:41 <Stanto> You've got a typing error on the link to "this guide to asking smart questions" on https://beagleboard.org/chat as there is an extra 'l' on '.html'
Feb 21 02:07:33 <GenTooMan> so zmatt is zonked and I kept forgetting to discuss synchronizing two HDMI signals. The truth is I believe all one needs is to gather the H and V synch data to create the timing. Although capturing what the display returned using that overly complicated protocol in the I2C bus might be fun.

Feb 21 02:10:17 <veremit> jkridner: note Stanto's comment above :p

Feb 21 02:16:06 <veremit> ooh
Feb 21 02:16:25 <veremit> jkridner: beagle-blue's out yet?! :D
Feb 21 02:16:34 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> not yet.
Feb 21 02:16:37 <veremit> :(
Feb 21 02:16:43 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> "real soon now"(TM)
Feb 21 02:16:53 <veremit> you said that about x15's .. LOL
Feb 21 02:16:57 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> did I see you on the alpha request?
Feb 21 02:17:07 <ds2> HE HE HE HE HE
Feb 21 02:17:18 <veremit> oh bugger .. not yet . but I have education-fu to share it with ..
Feb 21 02:17:40 <veremit> I didn't get too far with my app for x15 for gstreamer goodness either ... veremit fail :((
Feb 21 02:18:03 <veremit> and right now I'm busy installing Gentoo into a Virtualbox VM ..
Feb 21 02:18:13 <veremit> I think the term is "FML" ?!
Feb 21 02:18:18 <veremit> lol
Feb 21 02:22:35 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> I really enjoyed using gentoo-prefix, but I've moved away from it a bit of late.
Feb 21 02:23:25 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> great for building up a really flexible rootfs.
Feb 21 02:23:42 <beagleslackbot> <jkridner> and nice when you aren't required to run that rootfs for "production"
Feb 21 02:24:41 <veremit> yeah its quite a good distro for configurability .. but its a bit 'slow' to work with .. learning curve is pretty steep
