**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 24 02:59:57 2021 Mar 24 09:48:18 hi , i got some questions about virio rings, anyone involved in those ? Mar 24 09:48:29 virtio , rather Mar 24 10:09:47 rob_w: I've dabbled, but it was some time ago Mar 24 10:18:17 i use rpmsg + virtio to talk to the pru , now i hacked a way so the pru only irq`s the arm without any payload to rpmsg-vring .. i wonder if there is a legal way to do such Mar 24 11:13:03 is there a meeting today for the GSoC? I read about it online but couldnt find more information.. Mar 24 11:24:43 steven100: I think Freenode has a gsoc channel for beagleboar.org. Mar 24 11:24:47 add a d. Mar 24 11:25:39 oh good, a pigdog hybrid sounds terrifying Mar 24 11:25:59 ha. Mar 24 11:26:13 I meant beagleboard.org. Mar 24 11:26:27 obviously Mar 24 11:26:33 "Have you been selling pigdogs?" Mar 24 11:38:35 ok thank you :) Mar 24 14:36:21 Hi, not sure anyone has instructions to reconfigure EMMC from pSLC to standard configuration? Mar 24 14:37:14 tiger: if you've configured the eMMC into pSLC mode, then there's no way to reverse that Mar 24 14:39:00 I want reconfigure the eMMC from pSLC to standard mode. I know it is OTP register. It can only to be done once. Mar 24 14:39:33 the eMMC is by default in MLC mode, it is not in pSLC mode unless you've configured it as such (which, as you say, is OTP) Mar 24 14:40:38 For some reason, We ordered a different part, EMMC16G-TB29-90F02 with default as pSLC, which only 5.1G as 16G as standard Mar 24 14:41:12 oh you're not talking about a beaglebone, you should have mentioned that Mar 24 14:41:40 Sorry, it is for our production boards Mar 24 14:41:46 then it's presumably not configurable at all, but can try contacting the eMMC manufacturer Mar 24 14:42:09 ok. Thanks Mar 24 16:05:38 Hello! Mar 24 16:07:30 Hi! I'm using Yocto with my pocketbeagle, and for some reason I can use MBR, but GPT does not boot at all (and I don't get anything on the serial output) Mar 24 16:07:48 Is there something preventing the pocketbeagle from using GPT at all? Mar 24 16:08:13 maybe the bootrom doesn't understand gpt Mar 24 16:09:11 on the default images bootrom actually loads u-boot from a fixed offset (it attempts that before falling back to looking for a FAT boot partition) Mar 24 16:09:25 so if that is used and u-boot is built with GPT support, you can use GPT Mar 24 16:09:32 (I added more details on the bounty here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/639647/system-boots-with-mbr-but-not-with-gpt) Mar 24 16:10:36 specifically bootrom looks for a "configuration header" in sector 0, 256, 512, and 768. if it finds one, it expects the MLO (typically containing u-boot SPL) to be located in the subsequent sector(s) Mar 24 16:10:57 zmatt I am using u-boot indeed, and that's working with MBR. Mar 24 16:11:19 the bootrom supports raw or mbr, not gpt Mar 24 16:11:59 if none of these four locations contains a configuration header, bootrom will finally check for an MBR partition table those first partition is marked bootable and contains a FAT32 filesystem with a file named "MLO" in the root Mar 24 16:12:23 mru oh, so the pocketbeagle just doesn't support GPT then? Mar 24 16:12:57 you can use gpt with the u-boot spl in a specific location as zmatt described Mar 24 16:13:03 jonesv[m]: the raw boot method should work fine with GPT, it doesn't really care what partition table format is used Mar 24 16:13:15 just leave a hole before the first partition Mar 24 16:13:18 Right, I was not sure I was getting it Mar 24 16:14:49 either leave the space for the MLO and u-boot.img unallocated or create a partition that covers them, bootrom doesn't care either way Mar 24 16:15:25 as long as the MLO with prepended configuration header is in one of the four designated locations Mar 24 16:15:28 but don't create a filesystem in that partition Mar 24 16:15:54 indeed Mar 24 16:23:49 for completeness, the rom also allows a filesystem without partition table Mar 24 16:31:25 does it? you sure about that? Mar 24 16:31:39 the trm says so Mar 24 16:31:43 I've never tried it Mar 24 16:31:50 huh, interesting, didn't know that Mar 24 16:32:16 but that requires FAT32 for your entire filesystem, so not a very useful option anyway Mar 24 16:32:39 no, not for a normal system Mar 24 16:46:27 zmatt: someone was asking me about putting some console images up on https://beagleboard.org/latest-images. Any suggestion on which one? Mar 24 16:46:37 I'll ask rcn-ee too. Mar 24 16:47:03 jkridner__: presumably just the console build of the released image Mar 24 16:47:26 or the latest one from https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Latest-images-testing Mar 24 16:47:42 it probably matters less for console images than for IoT images Mar 24 16:47:55 but rcn might indeed be the better person to ask Mar 24 16:48:47 rcn-ee says https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2020-04-06/buster-console/ Mar 24 16:48:55 because it matches. Mar 24 16:49:02 yep that makes sense Mar 24 16:49:03 no... which ones in there. Mar 24 16:49:15 non-flasher? Mar 24 16:49:26 both am335x and am572x ? Mar 24 16:53:24 I'd personally be a fan of just having both flashers and non-flashers... otherwise I'd probably still end up pointing people to https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Latest-images-testing for console flashers Mar 24 16:55:31 I personally like the simple and clear way that page lists the images, https://beagleboard.org/latest-images is a lot messier in comparison Mar 24 16:56:30 but I'm not the average user so I'm not sure I'm the right person to judge Mar 24 16:57:13 but people are more likely to need the flasher than the non-flasher Mar 24 17:20:52 can a usb c port be added to a pocket beagle? Mar 24 17:21:07 I am having trouble with the physical connections Mar 24 17:56:53 Oh that would be cool! Using the GPIO pins? Mar 24 18:33:35 you'd need an external type-c controller Mar 24 18:33:45 but otherwise yes Mar 24 18:33:59 and you only get usb 2.0 Mar 24 18:34:15 obviously Mar 24 19:03:41 Hi, trying to setup WIFI to connect to an access point using wpa_supplicant. I am having some issues Mar 24 19:10:38 typically you'd use connmanctl to set that it, it will manage wpa_supplicant for you Mar 24 19:12:47 ok. using connmanctl was fine Mar 24 19:17:59 It seems that it needs connmanctl to register the services, first. Mar 24 19:24:44 ? Mar 24 19:25:15 when you're using connman, it will fully manage wpa_supplicant, you do not directly interact with wpa_supplicant at all Mar 24 19:26:51 Do I need to create wpa_supplicant.conf or delete the file if already exists. Mar 24 19:27:40 no wpa_supplicant.conf should exist, I'm not sure it will be consulted even if it does exist Mar 24 19:28:48 What about /etc/network/interfaces, should wlan0 section be removed, too? Mar 24 19:29:47 /etc/network/interfaces should not be used for anything other than the loopback interface ("lo"), you should not have added any configuration to it Mar 24 19:31:09 in general don't mix different methods of configuring/managing network interface, that just leads to a mess Mar 24 19:31:12 Ok. I guess that is used by network manager, right? Mar 24 19:31:43 /etc/network/interfaces is the config file for "ifupdown", debian's own network manager Mar 24 19:32:03 having both ifupdown and connman try to manage an interface will just result in a mess, and usually a non-functional mess Mar 24 19:32:25 It is very confusion, there several ways to to. Each of them has its own set of rules and configuraions Mar 24 19:32:47 honestly I don't even know why ifupdown is installed at all Mar 24 19:33:20 as long as you're using connman, use connmanctl for _all_ network configuration Mar 24 19:33:48 thanks for the tip Mar 24 19:34:21 if you know what you're doing then of course you can choose to use a different network manager than connman, but in that case you should disable and remove connman entirely. Mar 24 19:35:16 You mean to uninstall connman? Mar 24 19:35:34 obliterate it! Mar 24 19:35:43 annihilate! Mar 24 19:35:48 exterminate! exterminate! Mar 24 19:36:40 tiger: that is assuming you _want_ to use a different network manager and understand the differences Mar 24 19:36:59 and/or you have a deep hatred for connman, like mru Mar 24 19:37:35 but for the time I'd suggest you just stick with connman and use connmanctl for configuration Mar 24 19:37:55 Honestly, I don't care which tool to use, as long as it works and is simple Mar 24 19:39:03 Thank, you Mar 24 21:09:07 Obviously. Mar 24 21:10:12 I come back to see mru yelling to encapsulate connmanctl and send it below... Mar 24 21:10:55 Never to return! Mar 24 21:11:17 if only I had the power to do that Mar 24 21:12:04 Get hired by Intel and call it bew instead. Then be and then b, and it may just remove itself? Mar 24 21:12:40 Nobody wants a lib. called b. Mar 24 21:15:19 Anyway, enough of my foolish jokes! It is BELA time w/ the violin! Mar 24 21:15:51 I am dealing w/ a fellow now. He knows that source and sound acquisition and usage really well it seems. Mar 24 21:17:09 So, I am signing on to be a user of BELA to gain access to his mind! Hopefully, whatever his 'mind' tells him to type gets me to understand the avenue in which I need to take to comprise a violin/BBB/BELA montage. Mar 24 22:47:04 set_ 2 hours yet? Mar 24 22:50:05 I got in a bunch last night and this morning. Since then, kaput. Mar 24 22:50:15 Well, no. Mar 24 22:50:36 I have been updating Micro SD Cards so in case something fails at the Faire, I can have a back up of an exact model. Mar 24 22:52:44 GenTooMan: Giulliomoro is helping me as of now. Well, I am expecting him to shine light on this dusty face. Mar 24 22:53:34 So, he says... Mar 24 22:53:35 There was not a lecture on audio input for the sake of people not getting their own equipment, i.e. cables and other things. Mar 24 22:53:35 Anyways... Mar 24 22:53:59 I think I can make the four strings a midi but I may need external hardware. Mar 24 22:54:20 When people are tired of midi on the four strings, I can just plug and play. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 25 02:59:56 2021
