**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jan 03 02:59:56 2021 Jan 03 17:03:52 hi i want to try converting my model using the tidl api before buying the bbone ai board so i was wondering if there's a software tool i can download to do that on my pc w/o the board Jan 03 21:10:35 is there a IRC chat app for BBB ver B in Angstorm OS? Jan 03 21:14:41 abnormal: angstrom has been dead for many years Jan 03 21:14:52 I think the project died in 2015 Jan 03 21:15:15 debian is the recommended distro for all beaglebones Jan 03 21:15:41 aww shucks... what OS will work in the BBB ver B? Jan 03 21:16:00 you have link for that Jan 03 21:17:39 for BBb rev B (and older) with only 2G of eMCM, the recommended options are 1. wipe eMMC and boot the latest recommended debian image from SD card instead 2. flash the latest console image to eMMC, which requires very little space (but requires that you're comfortable with installing whatever applications you want) Jan 03 21:17:49 you can find the latest console image at: https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Latest-images-testing#Debian_10_.28Buster.29_Console Jan 03 21:18:29 ok ty... Jan 03 21:19:01 and then for an IRC chat program, there are a bunch of options in debian... that's not really a beaglebone-specific question though Jan 03 21:19:32 I see.. my main chat app is Konversation Jan 03 21:22:01 I personally use irssi (which is a console irc client), but a quick search through the debian package list for console/terminal irc clients yields "barnowl", "f-irc", and "glirc" as alternatives. (but I have no experience with any of those, or even heard of them before) Jan 03 21:22:31 f-irc's package description claims to be "user-friendly" :D Jan 03 21:24:24 nice Jan 03 23:51:28 I have successfully compiled and executed kmscube (TI fork) on Debian 10 latest beaglebone.org image clearly using the IT PVR SGX530 to accelerate the OpenGLES 2.0 instructions. To do this I followed the exact process we discussed, downgrading the kernel + force installing the Debian 9 packages from http://repos.rcn-ee.com/, with the addition of just a little more Jan 03 23:52:54 I had to force install the dependencies for ti-sgx-ti33x-ddk-um, as well as the package ti-sgx-common-ddk-um which was not pulled in but is required because it contains gl2.h and other source files Jan 03 23:54:10 this means the OpenGLES 2.0 graphics stack for the SGX530 is finally functional on Debian 10, and I can begin the porting process for the software I actually want Jan 03 23:56:43 thank you very much zmatt and set_ for your help with this problem, at the start it wasn't immediately obvious to me that GPU drivers for BeagleBone Black for Linux actually existed, but kmscube is now running perfectly, so display server or other dependencies of desktop Linux apps should be easy to use with accelerated OpenGLES 2.0 as well Jan 04 00:23:47 Sorry for wasting your time that day. Way to go! Jan 04 00:28:34 Did you have to compile the entire kernel again? Jan 04 00:29:39 I am asking b/c the instructions are easy but the idea of compiling a kernel and the makefile for that said location of the kernel was not obvious. Jan 04 00:41:38 misternumberone: force dependencies is still really bad though, that will make installing more packages or updates a nightmare Jan 04 02:25:23 GenTooMan: What are you doing these days? Happy New Year and all that mess...so? Jan 04 02:25:46 Are you breathing and kickin' chickens? Jan 04 02:26:31 I got close, too close, to COVID this year already. My family member came down w/ it and five people at work had it or has it. Jan 04 02:26:44 <<< LUCKY! Jan 04 02:27:18 Anyway, I am sure you are busy. Wait and you shall be granted a nice machine visual w/ a even nicer motor! Jan 04 02:27:35 But...like when we last discussed it, I will need a "special" power supply. Jan 04 02:27:56 Linear, they say. Linear. Jan 04 02:28:25 I found some from a place in PA. They sell them but they cost just as much from them as from the people who are selling them for their own motors. Jan 04 02:28:49 Decisions, decisions. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jan 04 02:59:57 2021
