**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Dec 02 02:59:56 2021 Dec 02 06:03:53 ok Dec 02 06:04:03 Are you in ti dev team ? Dec 02 06:38:17 I'm just a random beaglebone user Dec 02 06:38:47 I'm not affiliated with TI nor beagleboard.org Dec 02 11:49:23 I am a person, too, that likes the BBB. I even try to make things! Dec 02 11:49:51 Slow motion but still, I get around to it. Dec 02 11:50:45 I am going to be on the radio soon, i.e. blasting homemade music and trying not laugh! And all b/c of the BBB! Dec 02 11:51:09 Blah. not to laugh. SOrry. Dec 02 11:55:16 Side note, my speaker works again. I can start to listen to casts of people describing their BBB related, Linux related biz. Yes! Dec 02 12:01:23 Speaking of BBB-type machines here...is anyone working on a machine w/ BBB-brains? If so, can get chat about it? If not, that is okay. Dec 02 12:01:30 * set_ hides w/ curiosity! Dec 02 12:03:55 So, forget whatever I typed earlier. Excuse me. Is matrices and vectors the way to go for movement of machinery? Dec 02 12:05:06 I am trying to configure something w/ the BBB and my lack of practical knowledge bestows me in regards to the type of code needing to be written for adjacent movement, corner to corner, and so on... Dec 02 12:10:12 Hi! Can someone help on the thread with "Could not initialize timer (err -19)" and " [ 7.077594] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..." errors? https://github.com/beagleboard/buildroot/issues/4 Dec 02 12:12:20 Hmm. Are you past WiFi yet? I mean it. Did you manage to get WiFi access yet? Dec 02 12:13:58 PocketBeagde doesn't have Wi-Fi onboard Dec 02 12:16:24 Oh. Nice. Are you just trying to boot it so far? Oh and do not worry, my questions lead to ideas. Dec 02 12:23:28 yes Dec 02 12:24:58 Okay. Dec 02 12:26:13 So, when you are using "make menuconfig", wait. Let me get my records. Dec 02 12:30:06 Okay, okay. I know make menuconfig is how to start. So, when you apply that command, where are you putting your files. The records from buildroot should be put where they need to be located. Dec 02 12:32:37 Emm.. all the settings are located in https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/blob/master/configs/beaglebone_defconfig Dec 02 12:37:02 Try w/ make menuconfig that exact name, i.e. beaglebone_defconfig Dec 02 12:37:40 This is sort of guess work for me since I do not own the PocketBeagle. Dec 02 12:38:14 Siegurd: Have you been through the entire set of available options under the "make menuconfig" command? Dec 02 12:40:10 I know this is nagging but I suggest you try it. I went through all of them to get labeling down pat. Once labeling is done, then one can search/research what exactly each label stands to mean/definition. Dec 02 12:41:05 It took me a long time. But, in the end...it booted! I can still boot the board if you want to view my set up. Dec 02 12:41:44 I can save the boot process in a file or something long those lines. Dec 02 12:52:56 Okay. Scratch what I said. The build has been erased off the SD Card for my BBBW. I just remembered. Dec 02 12:53:12 I will boot it real quickly, hopefully, and tell you how I did it. Dec 02 12:53:18 brb Dec 02 12:53:20 or Dec 02 12:53:21 bbl Dec 02 13:13:07 Okay. So, I am in make menuconfig now. I cloned the git repo of buildroot. Dec 02 13:13:34 I am going to post it to SD Card on my end to start to get a feel for it again. Dec 02 13:16:32 then, switch to -b feelabs Dec 02 13:17:41 So, try this idea: https://bootlin.com/doc/training/buildroot/buildroot-labs.pdf Dec 02 13:18:19 It will get you booted at least. Do you have the SD Card or are you booting from...forget it. It does not matter. Both or either will work. Dec 02 13:24:08 So, try that idea. If you get booted, good. If not, ask away. There are many different things to get and pick from in the menuconfig utility. Some go well together while others will fail your build. Dec 02 14:06:24 HI Dec 02 14:06:56 May I know is there any samples project which include sram and rtc in BBB ? Dec 02 14:50:02 HI Dec 02 14:58:36 have an progress!Something is was wrong with uboot config. Repleasing files on SD solved uboot timer problem. https://github.com/beagleboard/buildroot/issues/4#issuecomment-984699480 Dec 02 19:16:04 hello, I am trying to connect my beagle to a monitor using microHDMI to HDMI cable, the monitor recognizes that a device is connected but has an error message "No HDMI signal from your device. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake it up. If there is no display, press the monitor button again to select the correct input source." Dec 02 19:16:05 Clicking and moving the mouse does not do anything. How can I fix this? Dec 02 19:19:42 I have tried two different microHDMI to HDMI cables, one of them is brand new from adaFruit so I think it should be a reliable cable. I tried installing xfce, and followed the HDMI instructions from here, https://forum.digikey.com/t/debian-getting-started-with-the-beaglebone-black/12967#BeagleBoneBlack-HDMI Dec 02 19:19:49 still no luck :/ Dec 02 19:24:31 Did you flash proper image with GUI? Dec 02 19:25:43 ah rip, I bet that's it. I flashed the second image from here https://beagleboard.org/latest-images Dec 02 19:25:57 is there a way to add a gui to this image? Dec 02 19:26:12 doubt Dec 02 19:27:58 so no? Dec 02 19:29:40 just make a backup of your data/settings and flash another image Dec 02 19:31:15 gotcha thanks, should this one do the trick? 'Debian console images via microSD card (without flashing the eMMC)' Dec 02 19:39:38 If you want a gui, don't use a flasher or console.. it's a really tight fit with 2GB or 4GB eMMC's.. Dec 02 19:40:01 if you want a gui, use: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2021-12-01/buster-lxqt/ Dec 02 19:42:38 I have it booting off of a 128gb uSD card, is that link to the gui still the best option? Dec 02 19:43:24 true programmers don't use GUI. Console is the way! (Sarcasm) :) Dec 02 19:44:13 if you want a gui, it's the latest image with all the fixes... but it's still a single core Cortex-A8, so the gui is going to be slow.. Dec 02 19:48:18 Guest18, reading above... the base image should still show a 'console' over hdmi... usually with some lcd monitors, or cheap hdmi cables, tehre is not a common ground, if your monitor has a usb port, try connecting the beagelebone black to do that... that might get the screen to work.. Dec 02 19:48:45 hdmi cable quality is really shit.. Dec 02 19:50:42 from the beagle uHDMI to a  USB port on the monitor? I'll have to see if I have a converter, I don't think I have uHDMI to USB Dec 02 19:51:02 thanks for the tip Dec 02 20:00:06 Guest18, no some lcd/monitors add a usb hub/etc, if your monitor has one try it, just connect a usb cable.. Dec 02 20:04:56 ah no dice Dec 02 20:08:51 the beagle doesn't detect the usb connection to the monitor Dec 02 23:07:20 rcn-ee: well, it's not all on the cortex-a8, the limited memory bandwidth and very limited display controller also don't help ;) Dec 03 02:43:32 Why is this hit or miss garbage so prevalent in the forums. It is like people do not follow up, reply once they have configurd an answer, and the chatter box on the forums just ceases. Argh! Dec 03 02:43:53 Anyway /me Dec 03 02:43:56 Dang it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Dec 03 02:59:57 2021
