**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Nov 20 03:00:02 2017 Nov 20 06:17:09 hello Nov 20 06:18:53 i accidently deleted MLO file and now beaglebone black is not showing anything and the user leds are also not blinking is there any way to reset the board Nov 20 06:20:57 hey i accidently deleted MLO file from the beaglebone black and now my board doesn't start and user leds are also not blinking Nov 20 06:21:25 how can i reset my board to factory settings Nov 20 06:26:04 unable to bbot from sd card also Nov 20 06:26:13 even when pressing the boot button? Nov 20 06:26:36 (to get it to boot from micrSD) Nov 20 06:26:57 kk: you'll probably want serial console output at this point... Nov 20 06:28:12 what is serial console output Nov 20 06:28:41 yes even after pressing the boot button Nov 20 06:32:14 can somebody help Nov 20 06:32:21 https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Serial Nov 20 07:24:13 <_bg_> join #raspberrypi Nov 20 08:11:28 Hello, I am porting a modified image of Debian IOT 9.2 (lastest) from BBB to BBBW to use Wifi. Nov 20 08:11:41 My problem is that "connman" does not recognize any Wifi interface on BBBW. Nov 20 08:12:22 And with "dmesg" command I can't see any problem on this topic. Nov 20 08:12:52 Should I install any drivers not included in official image? Nov 20 08:35:11 hello, if we would like to purchase Beangleboard X15,can we directly purchase from you? Nov 20 08:36:10 BGI: we are an IRC channel, nothing more. Nov 20 08:36:30 BGI: to buy, see http://beagleboard.org/x15 -> there is a "purchase" area Nov 20 08:38:17 so it means that we could only purchase through an agent? Nov 20 08:38:31 BGI: you can only purchase through a distributor. Nov 20 08:41:18 OK thanks for your clarification Nov 20 08:41:44 anyone online? Nov 20 08:42:32 nope. we're the chatting dead. Nov 20 08:43:35 hahaha. is it practical or is it even possible for me to wire a HC06 Bluetooth module to the beaglebone xm? Nov 20 08:46:10 Gentoo: look like an ordinary 3.3v uart. should be no problem (electically) Nov 20 08:46:57 perfect. had one laying around was curious. thank you. Nov 20 08:54:20 Hello, I am working on BeagleBone blue and I have been unable to connect to an IPAD in Bluetooth Low Energy: I can't detect the IPAD and the IPAD can't detect the BeagleBone (I can detect other BLE objects and they can detect me). Does somebody suceed to communicate with an IOS device ? If not, does an other beagleboard is able to do this ? Thanks a lot Nov 20 09:02:17 have you tried plugging in a USB BT-SMART dongle? Nov 20 09:05:15 No I didn't tried. I just tried native peripherials. Nov 20 09:37:09 Where would I find the pin mappings for the P9 expansion. I'm quite new to this. Nov 20 09:38:44 Gentoo: easy, the search engine of your least distrust: https://www.google.de/search?q=beaglebone+pin+diagram&client=firefox-b-ab&dcr=0&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit5IzJ7czXAhUFa1AKHbCnBI0QsAQIJg&biw=1078&bih=1231 Nov 20 09:40:19 I apologize for not specifying, I need the mappings for the Beagleboard xm Rev C Nov 20 09:40:27 i checked google and could not find them. Nov 20 09:41:24 Gentoo: ah. because earlier, you specifically called it "beaglebone" :) Nov 20 09:41:42 hahaha wow, thats my bad Nov 20 09:43:39 Gentoo: actually thats really a bad, because the xm is 1.8v Nov 20 09:43:46 Gentoo: no hc06 for you then. Nov 20 09:44:08 and for the reast, its again bolunt RTFM: http://beagleboard.org/static/BBxMSRM_latest.pdf pg. 106 Nov 20 09:44:42 s/bolunt/blunt/ Nov 20 09:44:52 aw thats unfortunate Nov 20 09:44:56 and perfect, thank you so much Nov 20 09:45:11 just get rid of it, its massiveky outdated anyways. Nov 20 09:45:30 and BBBs are not *that* expensive as a tinkering replacement Nov 20 09:46:23 yea i agree, theres not much forum activity for it either (which i need) i will look into the BBB Nov 20 11:18:03 The recommended OS for the beagleboard is quite slow, in fact slower than the demo version. Is there another OS compatable with beagleboard xm? the original one was quite fast but almost everything was broken. Nov 20 12:53:04 I would like to display video on a bbb, but while I've been already using it for years as an headless system this is the first time I'm poking at video Nov 20 12:53:17 not sure on what to expect, I need to show a network stream at 1080p Nov 20 12:53:52 I know I can only do 1080p@24hz display-wise, but with VLC video seems to stutter, I guess it's not picking up the gpu drivers Nov 20 12:54:38 I'm using lxqt ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 4.4.59-ti-r96 Nov 20 13:11:43 c10ud^: you may want to reconsider your choice of hardware for this application Nov 20 13:12:14 that's what I thought too Nov 20 13:12:37 the gpu drivers are not compatible with X11, and wouldn't help you in this case anyway Nov 20 13:13:09 more likely the issues are the cpu performance needed for whatever video codec you're using, and/or memory bandwidth Nov 20 13:14:42 I hoped the situation was better, now that also usb drivers were working :( Nov 20 13:15:36 the best performance would probably be obtained using direct framebuffer access and a codec implementation specifically optimized for the cortex-a8 + neon Nov 20 13:19:06 yeah I wanted to avoid coding the whole stack so you might be right Nov 20 13:19:38 but some numbers I'm seeing here aren't looking optimistic Nov 20 13:22:33 I think I could work an X-less environment with VLC or mplayer but...meh Nov 20 13:23:33 I powered up the board and this samsung monitor doesn't support 1080@24, I already lived this nightmare with some other Atmel MPU Nov 20 13:23:39 that's why I'm so lazy Nov 20 13:23:55 I'm not even sure how much it will matter in the end though, since the biggest problem is simply the cpu load of video decoding Nov 20 13:24:57 I have serious doubts about whether you'll get 720p h.264 running smoothly, let alone 1080p Nov 20 13:26:57 I'm looking at TI benchmarks and you're right.. Nov 20 13:27:35 88%cpu for 480p video Nov 20 13:28:45 the am335x was designed for automotive and industrial applications, not multimedia Nov 20 13:29:56 many other TI SoCs have a dedicated subsystem for video en-/decoding Nov 20 13:31:15 (along with a decent display controller, unlike the crappy "LCDC" peripheral in the am335x) Nov 20 13:34:13 :) Nov 20 13:34:58 seriously, LCDC doesn't even have hardware cursor support :P Nov 20 13:36:35 well it's always more than enough for industrial panels, touch screens, as u said Nov 20 13:36:41 yep Nov 20 13:38:56 similarly, the gpu isn't going to run Crysis, but it suffices to give your ui at least a bit of eyecandy (and I think android requires it? that would probably also be a strong motivator for including it) Nov 21 02:05:44 I was reading the BB Cookbook and... Nov 21 02:06:56 I found one faulty thing so far. The USR0, while copying the eMMC .img file, does not blink like the book states. Nov 21 02:07:04 I think it should be USR1. Nov 21 02:07:27 Anyway, I know there is an updated version. Nov 21 02:07:35 I will look into that book later. Nov 21 02:11:42 Does it still take the autorun.sh script about 10 minutes to complete? Nov 21 02:14:32 I am backing up the onboard flash. Nov 21 02:17:55 While backing up the onboard flash, what should the USR LEDs show when the file has completed the task? Nov 21 02:21:41 Forget it. It is USR0 and I am wrong. The dang USR0 light is blinking and not the USR1. Nov 21 02:22:02 Though, the LED should stay lit and not blink when the file is done. Right? Nov 21 02:23:41 ... Nov 21 02:32:13 Let me try to make more sense... Nov 21 02:32:16 ... Nov 21 02:32:31 Forget it. Nov 21 02:32:42 Wait! Nov 21 02:33:26 Does the "double blink" of USR0 stop to go to a steady on when the file finishes? Nov 21 02:33:41 It has been 30 minutes! Nov 21 02:51:08 ... Nov 21 02:51:22 Okay...I turned the power off w/ the power button and unplugged the BBB. Nov 21 02:52:29 W/in the SD Card, BBB-save-emmc is shown, I have many files but what file should I be on the look-out for? Nov 21 02:53:16 uImage, u-boot, .dtb, and/or .sh? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Nov 21 03:00:00 2017
