Oct 02 05:50:53 <ajay> hi all, i have connected usb to serial connector ,i need to connect cross null modem female to female cable so i chave connected female to male cross null modem cable
Oct 02 05:51:13 <ajay> to which i connected straight female to female null modem cable
Oct 02 05:51:29 <ajay> to this i connected DB9 to IDC 10 cable
Oct 02 05:51:55 <ajay> does cable length affects for minicom
Oct 02 05:52:09 <ajay> due this connection cable length got incresde
Oct 02 05:52:13 <ajay> increased
Oct 02 05:55:24 <rsalveti> ajay: hey, don't know if you saw what lool wrote about serial and igepv2
Oct 02 05:55:32 <rsalveti> seems to be a common issue
Oct 02 05:56:22 <rsalveti> <lool>  rsalveti: Plenty of people get this issue with IGEP
Oct 02 05:56:30 <rsalveti> <lool>  There is a hardware grounding issue I'm sure
Oct 02 05:56:37 <rsalveti> <lool>  one workaround is using a differnt USB serial adapter, or a real PC serial port; another workaround is plugging a mini-USB cable to the IGEP to help grounding
Oct 02 05:56:41 <rsalveti> ajay: ^
Oct 02 05:58:35 <ajay> rsalveti, thanks but i have tested with different serial adapter getting same issue and other is mini USB ,can you please tell how to solve grounding problem
Oct 02 05:59:25 <rsalveti> ajay: if you have a mini-usb cable, you could connect it at igepv2 and your pc
Oct 02 05:59:39 <rsalveti> that should help fixing the grounding issue
Oct 02 06:00:29 <ajay> rsalveti, i need to get a mini USB cable for this
Oct 02 06:01:11 <ajay> mini USB need to connect to pc USB port correct?
Oct 02 06:01:36 <ajay> i mean mini USB port to igep and other port to PC USB port
Oct 02 06:01:45 <rsalveti> ajay: yep
Oct 02 06:05:50 <ajay> rsalveti,if i connect hdmi  cable to board then i am getting just blank screen it means board is somewhat booting till uboot
Oct 02 06:05:55 <ajay> am i right?
Oct 02 06:09:13 <rsalveti> not sure
Oct 02 06:11:42 <ajay> rsalveti, if i change omapfb parameter for boot.ini file then different behaviour shows that is some time signal is not proper
Oct 02 06:12:58 <rsalveti> hm, ok, so it seems your kernel is booting
Oct 02 06:13:58 <ajay> rsalveti, yes but i am not getting any display on monitor so thought to chech in minicom but there also i am not getting message
Oct 02 06:14:12 <ajay> may be as you told grounding issue
Oct 02 06:15:39 <ajay> rsalveti, is there any way to debug using ethernet port?
Oct 02 06:15:51 <ajay> i mean using PC to PC cable
Oct 02 06:16:48 <rsalveti> you first need a working kernel
Oct 02 06:18:38 <ajay> rsalveti, that i have downloaded from their website
Oct 02 06:18:43 <ajay> a binary image
Oct 02 08:03:16 <ajay> rsalveti, i am followed steps for ubuntu 10.10 as mentioned http://labs.igep.es/index.php/How_to_get_the_Ubuntu_distribution
Oct 02 08:04:15 <ajay> using wget downloaded image and then created boot.ini and removed MLO,uboot.bin boot.scr from /booot
Oct 02 08:04:41 <ajay> and connected minicom and then did power on but with this also i am not getting any message over minicom
Oct 02 08:05:18 <ajay> surely something is wrong in my board or setup
Oct 02 08:06:08 <ajay> minicom i have setup as per wiki mentioned for minicom8N1 115200
Oct 02 09:24:40 <ajay>  rsalveti i  got a mini A USB cable but as you suggested i connected mini A port to igep board where do i need to connect other port of Mini A USB cable
Oct 02 09:25:08 <ajay> rsalveti, for solving grounding issue
Oct 02 15:04:48 <dcordes> go home button messes up onboard: it hides onboard itself along with the floating 'show onboard button' that should be always on top
Oct 03 02:24:31 <devilhorns> grrr
