**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 01 02:59:59 2015 Feb 01 07:31:41 kergoth: But then i'm in a situation where it is hard debug. I Dont know if the fault is located in the build or if i'm doing something wrong while copying the build to the memorycard. Could be that it is wierd to belive that i could be able to run it using qemu but then again if i dont remember it totally wrong i think i did for the raspberry pi a couple of months back. Feb 01 08:30:24 i get a couple of error msg's from the beaglebord "spl_load_image_fat_os: error reading image args, err - -1" and "*** Warning - readenv() failed, using default environment". I haven followed any guide 100% accurate since it's not been possible, yocto didnt generate an zImage so i used an uImage? And the core-image-minimal...ext3 didnt exists used an tar.bz2 instead. Feb 01 08:31:18 beaglebone black, made by element14. Feb 01 08:40:34 Hello there.. Feb 01 08:41:36 I have a question.. Can yocto can run my Phone? Feb 01 08:41:43 If I made my own distribution of it.. Feb 01 08:44:07 nice talking to the air.. Feb 01 13:12:40 http://pastebin.com/P4H9u5iq beaglebone black, trying to get dizzy going. Feb 01 13:29:27 http://pastebin.com/62Gb1jSi Feb 01 14:28:48 hey Feb 01 14:28:58 did you notice this weirdness in gitweb ... Feb 01 14:29:20 when I click at a tag , I get here (for yocto 1.7.1) http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tag/?id=yocto-1.7.1 Feb 01 14:29:56 now, in the top menu, I can click "refs, tree, commit" links and all point to an URL with ?id=yocto-1.7.1 in it Feb 01 14:30:16 but , if I click on "log" , the log brings me to URL without the "?id=yocto-1.7.1" for some reason Feb 01 14:30:22 is that a bug in the gitweb setup ? Feb 01 14:31:32 looks a bit inconsistent to me and if I manually append this ?id=yocto-1.7.1 to the URL, I get the correct log for that particular tag (which is what I would expect to be the default) Feb 01 15:08:44 bluelightning_: hi i just tried image testing first time on my hardware. I already have a functional image which I have tested manually. Then I followed instructions found here: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#performing-automated-runtime-testing Feb 01 15:09:17 bluelightning_: however, nothing seems to happen when I bitbake my image - i mean it does built the image and that's it Feb 01 15:53:28 I get the following error when trying to run automated image testing on my hardware: Exception: TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with MyTarget instance as first argument (got DataSmart instance instead). Feb 01 15:54:15 I derived my MyTarget.py from BeagleBoneTarget.py Feb 01 17:15:28 anybody with runtime image testing experience please? Feb 01 18:02:01 Hello, i have built an qemuarm build instead of an beaglebone build, and it works. But what kind of proof is this that the actuall beaglebone build is correct? Feb 01 18:02:15 when i build that one. Feb 01 18:31:56 hey Feb 01 18:32:21 I am a beginner with some basic questions Feb 01 18:32:22 anybody awake? Feb 01 18:34:52 dalton_: not to my knowledge, but just try asking ;-) Feb 01 18:37:04 dalton_: I mean ... ask in the channel please Feb 01 18:37:16 sure, sure Feb 01 18:37:36 ok, If I give a basic overview of how yocto is used, will you correct me? Feb 01 18:37:59 So I have a ARM based board(pandaboard). Feb 01 18:38:47 SO, Firstly, I download the meta-ti bsp and add it to the bblayers.conf Feb 01 18:39:26 also i remove the meta-yocto-bsp, which is NOT requires Feb 01 18:39:31 required. Feb 01 18:40:04 then I change the MACHINE vriable in layers.conf to pandaboard Feb 01 18:41:05 Since i need to add opencv package to the build, I download it's recipie, and add it to the bblayers.conf too Feb 01 18:42:57 what do you mean you add recipe to bblayers ? Feb 01 18:43:12 then I list the packages i need to install in a CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL variable Feb 01 18:43:46 oh, sorry, I actually add the meta-* folder Feb 01 18:44:27 like in this case, it's path to meta-oe, which contain the recipe for opencv Feb 01 18:45:00 finally I run bitbake core-image-sato Feb 01 18:45:12 that's it... Feb 01 18:46:28 now I burn it into a sd card, and boot into it from the board Feb 01 18:47:05 I am using opencv for image processing on the board Feb 01 18:47:31 We are building an autonomous robot Feb 01 18:47:44 dalton_: oh ok, looks kinda sane to me Feb 01 18:47:56 thanx... Feb 01 18:48:14 until this point, i have done Feb 01 18:48:46 U see, in this project, I am supposed to handle software side Feb 01 18:49:09 So the pandaboard will get inputs from a lot of ins Feb 01 18:49:14 *pins Feb 01 18:49:59 So I am to take decisions based on these inputs Feb 01 18:50:39 I am to learn about this, in like six months Feb 01 18:50:54 I am a intermediate at C++ Feb 01 18:51:08 so what should I learn? Feb 01 18:53:39 dalton_: you should make your own meta-borad and place your own image recipe there, which pulls in the necessary packages for your device Feb 01 18:53:49 that's the only hint I can give you I guess Feb 01 18:55:14 why is that? Feb 01 18:55:47 What difference does it make in the output build? Feb 01 18:56:42 dalton_: none, but all your changes are contained in that layer Feb 01 18:56:54 dalton_: ie. you don't hack on the yocto directly Feb 01 18:57:24 i see Feb 01 18:57:51 so, I create a layer. Feb 01 18:58:12 fine, Feb 01 18:59:12 but what about the other question, say after i have pandaboard up and running, how should I proceed to complete my objective? Feb 01 19:01:44 its just that i have never done something like this before Feb 01 19:04:40 what is the reason for a beaglebone build not comming out as _ONE_ img? Feb 01 19:05:28 i mean, why is their left out to partition and copy files to differenct partitions. Feb 01 19:06:05 dalton_: you mean sampling pins ? Feb 01 19:06:11 pardon my english. Feb 01 19:06:55 dalton_: if the idea is just checking a GPIO ones every second, then just use the linux GPIO SYSFS API Feb 01 19:07:09 otherwise, you'd have to explain a bit more what you're expecting from those samples Feb 01 19:07:44 what do you mean by sampling pins Feb 01 19:09:01 I will be connecting a camera, via usb, but I dont have to worry about that... coz someone else is working on that Feb 01 19:09:33 Then there will be a temprature sensor, an IMU, a gps and multiple encoders Feb 01 19:11:01 then with data from all these sensors, I am to localize myself in the environment, and give signals to the motor driver Feb 01 19:11:49 All I know is basic to intermediate level c++. What should I learn to get this done> Feb 01 19:11:50 ? Feb 01 19:15:23 V4L2 for the camera Feb 01 19:15:32 Linux-IIO for the temperature sensors Feb 01 19:15:55 GPS will likely be standard UART/serial thing, so use some nmea library for that Feb 01 19:16:13 motor control would probably be IIO again (?) Feb 01 19:16:32 you might want to look at xenomai or preempt-rt in case you need some realtime stuff Feb 01 19:16:37 cool, these are c++ libraries? Feb 01 19:17:16 nah, those are linux kernel interfaces, you'll need to take a look around to see if there are some readily available libs or not Feb 01 19:17:56 IIO has some sample C programs, which pull the data from the IIO device(s), so you can refer to that Feb 01 19:18:16 ok Feb 01 19:18:58 http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/787511-how-to-get-analog-input-on-the-beaglebone-black Feb 01 19:19:01 analog input demo here Feb 01 19:19:14 it uses the IIO, so this might give you some ideas Feb 01 19:19:45 I cannot solve your problem , but I can maybe give you a couple of keywords to start from ;-) Feb 01 19:19:53 thanks a lot, this will get me started Feb 01 19:20:04 yeah, that's just what i wanted Feb 01 19:20:34 anything else u want to tell me? Feb 01 19:20:53 http://robogoby.blogspot.cz/2014/04/beaglebone-black-uart-gps.html BBB GPS Feb 01 19:21:10 dalton_: well, do you still have any questions right now ? Feb 01 19:21:23 dalton_: oh ... good luck ;-) Feb 01 19:21:34 I just wanted to know how to proceed, which you just told me Feb 01 19:22:09 now, i will do the required googling... Feb 01 19:23:19 Thanks again for your help. Feb 01 19:23:24 gotta go now Feb 01 19:23:27 bye bye Feb 01 22:14:53 anyone:trying to create a target board class lib/oeqa/BeagleBoneTarget.py causes a python exception when the test is run: Exception: TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with MyTarget instance as first argument (got DataSmart instance instead) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Feb 02 02:59:58 2015
