**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 09 03:01:40 2019 Oct 09 03:14:58 Oh well. I shall keep trying. Boy! Oct 09 03:16:21 assuming you have X11 running and logged in on the debian account, you can use putty to start an X11 application by setting the DISPLAY environment variable: export DISPLAY=:0 Oct 09 03:17:18 however if you don't have an .Xauthority file then I suspect you don't in fact have X11 running (or at least not logged in as debian) Oct 09 07:48:15 Hi Guys, I am using BBB with Debian 9. I want to remove the label BeagleBone completely from the OS. May I know how can I do that? Oct 09 07:49:16 Raj10: fork uboot and kernel, basically :) Oct 09 07:52:41 Thanks LetoThe2nd. Is there any other way to do that similar to the script available in beaglebone-black-make-microSD-flasher-from-eMMC.sh? Oct 09 07:52:54 noe Oct 09 07:56:01 but whats the reason for doing such anyways? trying to hide that you are using a BBB? which anybody opening up the device will instantly understand. Oct 09 07:59:51 If we make our own PCB then how can they identify by seeing it? Oct 09 08:00:28 you said "I am using BBB" Oct 09 08:00:36 :-) Oct 09 08:01:53 but basically its really this: create your own custom u-boot board configuration, create your own kernel dtb, use it Oct 09 08:03:37 Thanks @LetoThe2nd. It is a big task. I am looking for a simple solution. If that is the method then let me try. Thanks again for your help. Oct 09 08:12:16 there is no simple solution Oct 09 08:12:28 you want something fully custom, you do the fully custom work Oct 09 08:44:42 Raj10: somebody who can roll a custom hw design can also do the things i mentionend. and there are folks you can pay to do that if its too complicated for you. but there is no "copy-paste this line". Oct 09 09:33:20 if it's a custom pcb and not a BBB then he should customize u-boot anyway to ensure a correct DT is loaded Oct 09 09:33:49 (I doubt there's anything beaglebone-specific in the kernel, but customizing it to remove irrelevant stuff doesn't hurt anyway) Oct 09 09:34:37 zmatt: at least the dtb names would habe to be changed. but obviously its too complicated and not "simple enough" Oct 09 09:36:37 well also, if he's using a beaglebone u-boot on his custom pcb, that can only work if he has an EEPROM that actually claims the hardware is a BBB Oct 09 09:36:56 *shrug* Oct 09 09:41:40 pretending your custom design is actually a BBB should normally only be considered for prototyping (and even then it obviously depend on being adequately compatible to even be able to consider it) Oct 09 09:44:04 zmatt: don't spend too much thought on it. file under "pointless questions." Oct 09 09:44:11 hehe Oct 09 09:44:50 well it would definitely be nice if there were a guide for transitioning from a BBB-based prototype to a custom design Oct 09 09:46:49 it would maybe, but on the other hand its actually that kind of knowledge that set a proper hw company apart from those who just think this is something that a student shall do as semester work Oct 09 09:48:26 and i personally make a difference between sharing things that are for learning and fun versus things that earn money. earning money means work, and i don't work for free so others get the revenue Oct 09 09:48:45 good points Oct 09 09:50:49 if you want a bsp and don't know how to do it, either invest the time to work it out, or hire somebody. don't expect me to handhold you through it. its the classic example, as a BSP is nothing that a hobbyist really ever needs to do, and is almost always needed to *SELL* stuff. Oct 09 10:19:04 * tbr nods in approval Oct 09 10:19:36 * Humpelstilzchen would try a hex editor Oct 09 11:17:43 Somewhat contrary to the idea of free/open source but understandable in some ways to not want to share the secret to ones success, at least not in full detail. Having said that, "free" information certainly boosts innovation. Oct 09 11:21:09 outrageous: absolutely not. i can happily hand you bsp sources for free, but you'll have to pay me for the time to crate them, as well as the time i need to train you and explain. Oct 09 11:21:55 outrageous: just like you can get the kernel sources for free in no time. but learning to understand them and adjust to your needs is not going to be free. you either have to invest time, or money. Oct 09 11:26:38 LetoThe2nd: I don't disagree. Wasn't referring to your earlier comment specifically, more to the initial question that sparked the discussion and the discussion in whole. Oct 09 11:27:24 :-) Oct 09 11:54:12 Hello everyone Oct 09 11:59:02 Guest48786: tip: don't expect any response to "hello". if you have a question, just ask it, and be sure to have patience. plenty of knowledgeable people here, but most only glance at chat occasionally Oct 09 12:07:03 I am looking AM572x platfor beagle board x 15 images where can I find them Oct 09 12:07:57 Guest48786: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images Oct 09 13:48:59 m **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 09 15:03:16 2019 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 10 02:24:46 2019 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 10 02:59:57 2019
