Re: [beagleboard] QEMU emulation of BeagleBone and Raring

2014-04-03 Thread Boris Rybalkin
Hi,

Qemu static means you do not run vm, it is just chroot into 
/path/to/arm/root/filesystem
having qemu-arm-static in /path/to/arm/root/filesystem/usr/bin

You provided argument for qemu vm which is second option in my question and 
I have no network issues there, only uboot question.

Thanks.

 You might want to try adding something like the following to your qemu 
 calling parameters: 

 -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user

[beagleboard] Running debian from internal BBB flash

2014-04-03 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I have managed to get my BBB running Debian unstable from a plugin
8G micro SD card. After installing everything I currently need, this
external micro SD card is currently only 16% full.

My understanding is that the internal Flash of the BBB is 2G which
suggests that I should be able to transfer my current install from
the external micro SD card to the internal Flash.

Is this correct? If so, how can I do this?

Cheers,
Erik

[beagleboard] BBB LCD7 TouchScreen Applications ( IPC, uarts, .... ) = mouse blocked

2014-04-03 Thread Micka
Hi,


I'm developing applications that communicate with IPC, some of them are
using uart.

For the lcd7, I'm using Xinit with QT.


Most of the time it works, but at a specific time which involve ipc, shared
memory, uart and mutex: It crash my touchscreen  .

The cursor is fixed at a specific position, when i put my finger somewhere
else , the cursor go there. But when I remove my finger, the cursor go back
where it was . . And after some time, the cursor don't move anymore (
when I put my finger ).

This happen also with my qt program stopped, but xserver is still running.

At this case, I've to reboot my beagle ... . I don't know what do do, where
to search ? Where are the log ?

there is no error in the dmesg . ...

Well, after some trace in the kernel, I discovered that the problem was not
in the kernel.

the problem was electronics, some stupid relay that didn't
have  freewheeling diode

 BBB.

 I was wondering what would be the best way to do this? Do I attach the 
 two wires to a power jack connector and then plug it into the 5V input or 
 is there a better way?

 Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

 Hi,

 I would like to intercept the power I feed into BBB.

 Example: Power Source - Op Amp (input) 
Op Amp (output) - BBB power input

 The Op Amp I use is part of a circuitry I am using to keep track of the 
 voltage levels of various devices.
 In order to measure, the voltage/energy levels of the BBB, I need to 
 power it via the Op Amp circuitry.

 Question: I have 2 wires - GND and the other for the voltage/current - 
 coming from the Op-Amp.
 Does anyone know how I could interface these two wires with the BBB in 
 order to power it?
  
 Thank you,
 Jayson

[beagleboard] SPI 2 input wires

2014-04-03 Thread Rafael Fiebig-Bindner
Hi folks,
 
I want to read on both data wires of SPI0 (P9_18,P9_21). I am currently 
using C++ and spidev.h to do the normal thing, now my question is how 
deep do I have to go for allowing data to be read at both pins. I guess I 
have to modify at least the ioctl() command, but I don't have any idea 
where I could do this. Hope you can give a hint.
 
Best regards

 Hello,

 First a little bit of a background:

 I have a beaglebone black connected to the mains with a 5V, 1A DC power 
 supply.
 I'm running an Xbee USB adapter board (http://goo.gl/ygIboV), and an XBee 
 900HP 
 (http://goo.gl/0ZhtM6http://digi.com/products/wireless-wired-embedded-solutions/zigbee-rf-modules/point-multipoint-rfmodules/xbee-pro-900hp)
  
 on the USB port.
 It's running stock Angstrom Linux.

 The problem is this:

 About every 24 hours, the lights on my Xbee adapter board turn off and the 
 device is nowhere to be seen on my lsusb output.  Usually I can still ssh 
 into the board after this happens.  After a reboot, the board is fine for 
 another 24 hours before the same thing happens again.

 I have a hunch that the problem is the power supply, but is there anything 
 else I could try before I go out and buy a new, more powerful supply?

 My other question is why would the Xbee work at all if the problem is in 
 fact a power supply that isn't strong enough?

 Thanks,

[beagleboard] Trying to build Angstrom for a TI am335x-evm board

2014-04-03 Thread lukewiersma
Hey Guys,

I've got a question for you guys that I've been googling to find the answer 
for the last day and a half and so far nothing that I've changed has fixed 
it.  I'm new to building Angstrom so go easy on me it's probably just a 
simple configuration that's not set correct.  
 

 When I run MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake systemd-gnome-image

 
I get this u-boot-denx was skipped: incompatible with machine am335x-evm 
(not in COMPATIBLE_MACHINE)  

but when I run MACHINE=beagleboard bitbake systemd-gnome-image  

I don't get the error. 

I know these boards are close to the same and I actually have both of them 
and I need to be able to build an image for the am335x-evm board and I 
can't seem to figure it out. I checked out the 
remotes/origin/angstrom-v2013.12-yocto1.5 branch after trying the master 
branch just in case it was a stability issue but still the same problem.

Some more info that might be helpful but really makes me scratch my head is 
this.  

when I run MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake u-boot 

I get these 3 specific errors 

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'u-boot'
 ERROR: u-boot was skipped: incompatible with machine am335x-evm (not in 
 COMPATIBLE_MACHINE)
 ERROR: u-boot-ti-staging PROVIDES u-boot but was skipped: Either 
 UBOOT_MACHINE or UBOOT_CONFIG must be set in the am335x-evm machine 
 configuration


So I go and check

sources/meta-ti/conf/machine/am335x-evm.conf

which has no boot configuration but has 

require conf/machine/include/ti33x.inc 

then I check that file to find this 

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_u-boot = u-boot-ti-staging
 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = linux-ti-staging
 UBOOT_MACHINE = am335x_evm_config


Also when I check 

sources/meta-ti/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-ti-staging_3.12.bb

I find this

KERNEL_DEVICETREE_ti33x = am335x-evm.dtb am335x-evmsk.dtb am335x-bone.dtb 
 am335x-boneblack.dtb
 COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = ti33x|ti43x|omap-a15



Does this have anything to do with Device Tree in the newer kernels and is 
just ignoring the configs? or am I just missing something?

Thnaks, 
Luke

[beagleboard] Re: Trouble enabling i2c-2 in mainline uBoot for BeagleBone Black

2014-04-03 Thread robertkmiec1989


W dniu sobota, 22 marca 2014 01:19:58 UTC+1 użytkownik Joshua Datko napisał:

 I am trying to enable the i2c-2 bus in mainline uBoot and having problems. 
  I am building a cape that has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on pins 
 P9_19/20, i2c-2.  Using some creative wiring, when I connect the cape to 
 i2c-1, everything works fine.

 I added this in /board/ti/am225x/mux.c:

 static struct module_pin_mux i2c2_pin_mux[] = {
 {OFFSET(uart1_ctsn), (MODE(3) | RXACTIVE |
PULLUDEN | SLEWCTRL)}, /* I2C_DATA */
 {OFFSET(uart1_rtsn), (MODE(3) | RXACTIVE |
 PULLUDEN | SLEWCTRL)}, /* I2C_SCLK */
 {-1},
 };

 In enable_board_pin_mux, I put the following before any of the ifs:

 configure_module_pin_mux(i2c2_pin_mux);

 and added a puts after to ensure it was getting hit.

 When I break in uboot and try to switch to i2c-2, the BBB resets as 
 follows:

 U-Boot# i2c dev 2
 Setting bus to 2
 data abort
 pc : [9f7745c4]  lr : [9f7745bc]
 sp : 9f637dc0  ip :  fp : 9f638598
 r10: 9f7a7680  r9 : 9f637f28 r8 : 000186a0
 r7 : 0001  r6 : 9f7a47d4 r5 : 000186a0  r4 : 0001
 r3 : 002c  r2 : 0001 r1 : 0002  r0 : 4819c000
 Flags: nZCv  IRQs off  FIQs on  Mode SVC_32
 Resetting CPU ...

 I'm not quite sure where to go from here.  It appears, to me, that uBoot 
 has an issue with i2c-2 and any help would be appreciated.  I *could* 
 switch the TPM over to i2c-1 but I'd rather not change the hardware unless 
 using i2c-2 is impossible for some reason in uBoot.


You should also enable clock for i2c-2 bus. I have done this by adding:
writel(PRCM_MOD_EN, cmper-i2c2clkctrl);
while (readl(cmper-i2c2clkctrl) != PRCM_MOD_EN) ;

And I have used spi0_sclk and spi0_d0 for my i2c2 bus.

But on my beaglebone black based board I keep getting:
timed out in wait_for_pin: I2C_STAT=0
error all the time for i2c probe command. The same bootloader works 
correctly with original BBB,
The only difference on my board is missing EEPROM.

[beagleboard] Re: QT5 eglfs problem on embedded linux (TI am355x evm starter kit)

2014-04-03 Thread morix . dev
Hi Dennis,
basically I copied

mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++

to

mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++

and then modified

mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++/qmake.conf

in order to point to my cross-compilation tool-chain (the one included in 
TI AM335x EVM SDK 6.00.00).

Then I made:

./configure -prefix /opt/qt5 -opensource -confirm-license -platform linux-g
++ -no-icu -no-cups -no-nis -no-dbus -no-glib -no-pch -no-accessibility 
-no-gtkstyle 
-no-xcb -eglfs -no-directfb -xplatform linux-arm-gnueabihf-g++ -opengl es2 
-nomake 
examples -nomake tests -v

Then:

make  make install

I haven't do anything special about SGX drivers, using the stock one 
provided by TI pre-built images. Do you think that I should recompile 
somehow SGX drivers? Why?

Then I just setup QT Creator for using my just-built QT version with the 
toolchain coming from TI SDK. Then on the target board I launch the 
application simply exporting the following variables:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt5/lib
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/opt/qt5/lib/plugins

and then I launch my application (testapp) specifying the QPA backend to be 
used:

$ ./testapp -platform eglfs


That's it! Do you need some other info?

[beagleboard] Running debian from internal BBB flash

2014-04-03 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I have managed to get my BBB running Debian unstable from a plugin
8G micro SD card. After installing everything I currently need, this
external micro SD card is currently only 16% full.

My understanding is that the internal Flash of the BBB is 2G which
suggests that I should be able to transfer my current install from
the external micro SD card to the internal Flash.

Is this correct? If so, how can I do this?

Cheers,
Erik

  Ok.
  
  Based on your die-shrink statement and the following:
  DM37x processors are software compatible with the OMAP35x generation
  of processors and pin-to-pin compatible with Sitara™ AM37x devices
  allowing for an easy product migration strategy to higher performing

  DM3725 does not have a 3D graphics accelerator.  Customers moving to
  the DM3730 from the OMAP3530 can look forward to a 50 percent increase
  in ARM performance, a 40 percent increase in DSP performance, double
  the graphics performance and uses approximately 40 percent less
  power. news release on ti for DM3730.
  
  A few clarifications please. Simple Answers are Yes most probably.
  But I'd like someone else to confirm as well.
  
  Can I use every single piece of code (DSP/BIOS link, DSPlib, SYS/Bios,
  etc) with the label OMAP3530 with DM3730?
  

 yes

  To my knowledge, the one huge thing one should look out for is
  environment variable changes in uboot.
  Everything goes into boot.scr. No saveenv.
  

 that isn't dependant on the omap, but the memory put on top

  Anything that comes to your mind that I should look out for?
  Like memory mapping changes. Device I/O Anything?

 no, it's the same

  Especially related to GPIO, SPI driver, Angstrom/QT4-Embedded and the
  methods to establish a DSP-ARM link(DSP/BIOS link, C6run, etc)
  Cause I'll be using these in the project I'm working on.

 Same again, no real changes


  
  To my knowledge, kernel is the code/thing that talks to the hardware.
  Can i use the SYS/BIOS kernel for OMAP3530 for DM3730?
  Are these two processors THAT compatible!?
  

 Yes, thinking 3730 as a die shrink is the easiest way. The differences are:

 updated a8 core
 updated sgx core
 updated dss block
 updated musb block
 'fast' dss pins moved

 all of it, except the pins are just bugfixes for the silicon, no real 
 changes.

 From a sw point of view it's the same thing, just running faster. That's 
 why you can share a single angstrom uSD card between a c4 and xm beagle

  Just think of the DM3730 as a die-shrink of the OMAP3530, that is what

 I have students working on the Beaglebone using the current Debian image. 
  They are working in pairs.  Student one has bone A and laptop a.  Student 
 two has bone B and laptop b.  If b connects to B and then a connects to A, 
 they receive an ssh failure with a broken pipe.  If b connects to both A 
 and B, then it works fine.  It  makes no sense to me at all.  Any ideas?
 
The write failed, broken pipe message usually indicates a
disconnection after ssh has successfully logged in.

From what you're saying though it sounds to me as if there is some
problem with clashing IP addresses.

Are both the laptops on the same LAN?  More specifically are they on
the same subnet?  If you are connecting the BBBs to the laptops using
the ethernet over USB then confusing things might happen.

Tell us more about how you're connecting the BBBs and also try with no
other (ethernet/LAN) connections to the Laptops.  If all is OK with no
other network connections then add things back until it goes wrong.
Remember also that ethernet/LAN connections can be WiFi, maybe both
Laptops are connecting by WiFi to the local LAN without you even
knowing (try turning WiFi off).

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

2014-04-03 Thread Gerald Coley
I have made those reasons very clear.

1) We don't have the capacity to support commercial use of these boards in
products.

2) I did not design the board for commercial use in all
these different products

3) The boards change as it is being improved and we are not going
to continue to make old revisions of boards.
.
Circuitco is not allowed to sell BeagleBoard.org branded boards into
commercial products. They can if they choose to, sell non
branded boards for use under the direction of the purchaser of said boards
who at that point is totally  responsible for their operation as required
by the purchaser..

 No, that's not correct. They take orders from anyone who wants to use the
 boards commercially. Ordering from distributors for commercial purposes is
 frowned upon in the BB community, for obscure reasons.

 They have my order; they just aren't delivering in the promised timeframe.

In addition to the original image being on a black background, it was in

 Thanks to everyone for testing the beta images!

 In this last last week window I've rolled in many of your changes.

 So please continue to use the bug tracker:
 http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases

 I haven't been able to get the elinux bug tracker to let me post
 anything, so forgive me for posting a few comments here.  These are from
 the 3/19 image, so I apologize if any have been addressed, and they
 mostly fall under personal preference rather than actual bugs.

 * I like to add console=tty0 so startup kernel messages go to both the
 serial console and to the HDMI screen, if connected.  While less
 information is displayed with systemd than previously, if the kernel
 hangs for some reason at boot this could avoid the need for a serial
 cable which a lot of people won't have.

 I think i'm going to enable this too..

 * Given the target audience, I would add a terminal short-cut on the
 application launch bar next to the web browser.  It's not hard to get to
 on the menu, but that's one of the first changes I made to the 3/19 image.

 Sounds like a nice addon, do you have an example i can pull in?

 * I'm not sure who made the black desktop background, but I find it
 horrid (just the black part...the beagle is cute!) and would much rather
 see something lighter.  I'm not aware of any other GUI environment that
 ships with a black background as default, and out of all the
 professional programmers I know, only one uses this sort of color scheme.

 I stole it from the Angstrom image. We just got to be careful, as it's
 only 16bit, so some colors combos look odd.

If we need a new source image, you can go to
http://beagleboard.org/media and check out the images there.

The high-res logo is
http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/logo/beagle_logo_FNL_2_cmyk.eps.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if someone took the vector image of
http://beagleboard.org/static/uploads/BorisTux_w_Logo.png and combined
it with the Debian logo in some way to make a nice scalable backdrop
that looks like Debian. I also think the black background looks nice.


 I'm working through the process of trying to install MachineKit /
 LinuxCNC via packages (including the kernel and Xenomai user-mode), and
 will switch to the new image for further testing.

 Keep up the great work!

 I found the config file under .config.  It looks easy enough to make a

 Another feature I forgot to mention:
 You might want to disable the password request when running sudo, since
 the system is automatically logging folks in.  To do this, you drop a
 file in /etc/sudoers.d and remove the user from the admin list.  Details:

[beagleboard] Connection to Display doesn't work properly

2014-04-03 Thread Pluto
Hi

so I just got my beaglebone black today and when i connect it to a display 
the display shows a picture of a dog and the words beaglebone black for a 
few seconds. then the display doesn't receive any more information from the 
beaglebone and goes to sleep mode.
i installed the newest angström distribution on the beaglebone but still i 
can't get the gnome desktop to be displayed on my screen. the only thing 
that did change was that for a fraction of a second after the picture of a 
dog there was some white on black text wich i couldn't read so fast, before 
the display went to sleep. the following times i rebooted the board only 
the picture appeared again, not followed by the text.
can anyone tell me how to solve this?
thanks

Re: [beagleboard] BBB as a router w/ firewall capabilities

2014-04-03 Thread Michael Mullin
I've setup my home with a BBB acting as a firewall/router.

With the 3.12 kernel, I had problems in high data-volume situations (3+MB/s 
DL according to my download managers).  ksoftirqd would start taking up all 
the processor and then my packets would be dropped.

After upgrading to the 3.13 kernel... this problem was abated.  ksoftirqd 
rarely goes above 30% now.  Still, I wouldn't put 150 users' data through a 
BBB.

Im a bit curious about what changed in the 3.13 kernel to give me such a 
performance boost.

 Wild guess...  I would say the USB dongles would be where you hit the 
 wall.  The BBB has more than enough CPU power, RAM might become a factor 
 with that many users with a lot of rules. 

 LEAF has an ARM port for Rpi.  I don't recall if it's in main or not.  I 
 would think the same hurdles would apply here for that number of users. 

 Seems to me for the money a Sokeris (sp?) board or something similar 
 might be more appropriate. 

 My 2 cents worth anyway.

[beagleboard] Help with PRU on Beaglebone Black

2014-04-03 Thread jcalvinowens
Hello all,

I'm trying to get the PRU on the BBB working. I want to use it to drive two 
pairs of 4 select lines for a couple analog multiplexer/demultiplexers.

I've followed the instructions here with no success:
http://www.element14.com/community/community/knode/single-board_computers/next-gen_beaglebone/blog/2013/05/22/bbb--working-with-the-pru-icssprussv2

This is my device tree file:

dh_helper: helper {
compatible = bone-pinmux-helper;
pinctrl-names = default;
pinctrl-0 = pru_wcsp_pins;

};
};
};
};

Since the pins I need conflict with the EMMC and the HDMI outputs, I've 
used the kernel command line option capemgr.disable_partno to prevent 
them from being loaded.

The PRU mapping appears to work using the TI library, but nothing 
whatsoever happens at the outputs.

[beagleboard] Is it possible to load Chromium OS to Beagle Board Rev D

2014-04-03 Thread jamesgrise
I have not had any luck building a bootable disk.  Ive tried 
the beagle-rev-c5-3.2GB-r1.img, 
and Angstrom-TI-GNOME-image-eglibc-ipk-v2012.01-core-beagleboard-2012.01.11.img 
but I receive an error each time I try to transfer the image onto a card 
(Could not validate source - Invalid argument).  I'm using a Macbook pro 
Mountain Lion.  

I'd like to get Chromium OS onto my beagle board Rev D.

[beagleboard] Can't flash debian on beaglebone black

2014-04-03 Thread David Erdman
I am trying to flash debian to my beaglebone black. I am using this image, 
BeagleBone Black (eMMC flasher) from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/. 
I successfully write the image to the sdcard, put it into the beaglebone 
black, power on while holding button and release once I see all 4 leds 
light up. The instructions say that it can take up to 45 min. I let the 
first one go for over an hour and eventually unplugged and tried again. 
This time I let it go almost 1.25 hours and still no 4 solid LEDS. I 
confirmed by removing the sdcard and attempting to boot. When the sdcard is 
in there I can connect an ethernet cable and ssh into the machine. During 
the flash the USR2 and USR0 LEDS are flashing showing activity. What am I 
doing wrong?  I did this about a month ago no problem but I messed around 
with my distro too much and had to reinstall.

[beagleboard] Can no longer flash debian

2014-04-03 Thread david . erdman
I had a previous distro on the beaglebone black. However I can no longer 
access it (not sure what I did) so I downloaded the BeagleBone Black (eMMC 
flasher) from http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ and wrote it to the sd 
card. 
I hold the button until all leds light up to copy debian to the emmc. Twice 
now I have let it go about an hour but it seems like it never works. The 
2nd and 4th LED show lots of activity (USR0 and USR2) but I never get to 
the solid 4 solid leds. If I hook up an Ethernet cable I can ssh into the 
beaglebone. But once I remove the card I cannot.

You can dump the flashing status via:

Either ssh in, or via serial, that file will give us a clue what's going on.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Availability - how come nobody has any BeagleBone Black to sell?

2014-04-03 Thread chris . j . daly
Hi Robert,

I'm not expecting any help/support from you on this, but here is some 
additional info you may find interesting.  :-)

a) I haven't tried contacting Seeed about this.  I did look around for a 
contact at Embest and I found a forum 
(http://www.embest-tech.cn/community/forum.php) and a way to file a support 
ticket (http://www.embest-tech.com/ticket/index.php).  The forum is all 
Chinese.  I spent some time looking at google-translated posts there hoping 
to find the magic fix, without luck.  I suppose the next step will be to 
file a support ticket about it.

b) The Embest BBB I received has the AM3359.  I noticed that the element 14 
website says their Embest BBB has the AM3358.  This may not be relevant 
to my Ubuntu boot issue, but it seemed interesting.

c) When I boot the Embest BBB and watch the console output, it ends like 
this:

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
gpio: pin 53 (gpio 53) value is 1
mmc0 is current device
micro SD card found
mmc0 is current device
gpio: pin 54 (gpio 54) value is 1

Loaded environment from uEnv.txt
Importing environment from mmc ...
Running uenvcmd ...

reading /dtbs/am335x-boneblack.dtb
24884 bytes read in 9 ms (2.6 MiB/s)
Wrong Ramdisk Image Format
Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid
gpio: pin 55 (gpio 55) value is 1
** File not found /boot/uImage **

But I can literally pop that same SD card out and put it in my BBB model A6 
and it boots fine.  I googled around for the error messages near the end, 
and got a few hits, but nothing that made sense to me as a workaround or 
explanation of why it fails on the Embest BBB.

d) I did some poking around in U-Boot.  The version says this:

U-Boot 2013.04-rc1-14237-g90639fe-dirty (Apr 13 2013 - 13:57:11)
arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01) 4.7.3 20130205 
(prerelease)
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

Whereas the BBB A6 shows this for version:

U-Boot 2013.04-dirty (Jul 10 2013 - 14:02:53)
arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01) 4.7.3 20130205 
(prerelease)
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

So there is a difference on the first line, but otherwise the versions are 
the same.  Also, both boards return the same thing for 'mmcinfo'.

 they 
  both worked fine on a standard BBB (A6) and they both do not boot on the 
  Embest BBB.  I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue, or a u-boot config 
  issue, or something else. 

 Awesome, I'm disappointed too!  Guess i better update all my wiki 
 pages, and say only official CircuitCo made boards are supported. 

 So, SeeedStudio/Embest it's now your move to fix this issue, my 
 email/contact info is easily available.

Two other thoughts from days past. Make sure you are on DC and not USB,
which I don't think is the issue here, and make sure the Ethernet is
unplugged. I know on Angstrom Ethernet played havoc with flashing.

This sounds like the old original Embest board, the Clone. It is based on
an older revision of the board, maybe A5. I can't remember. I don't think
they ever built any Rev B boards. Supposedly the next version is Rev B
based which would be AM3358.

 But I can literally pop that same SD card out and put it in my BBB model
 A6 and it boots fine.  I googled around for the error messages near the
 end, and got a few hits, but nothing that made sense to me as a workaround
 or explanation of why it fails on the Embest BBB.

 d) I did some poking around in U-Boot.  The version says this:

 U-Boot 2013.04-rc1-14237-g90639fe-dirty (Apr 13 2013 - 13:57:11)
 arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01) 4.7.3 20130205
 (prerelease)
 GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

 Whereas the BBB A6 shows this for version:

 U-Boot 2013.04-dirty (Jul 10 2013 - 14:02:53)
 arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01) 4.7.3 20130205
 (prerelease)
 GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

 So there is a difference on the first line, but otherwise the versions are
 the same.  Also, both boards return the same thing for 'mmcinfo'.

  So far, I'm disappointed. It runs Angstrom from the eMMC, but it won't
 run
  Ubuntu from a microSD card.  I tried the latest Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04
  images from here: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu .  I verified
 they
  both worked fine on a standard BBB (A6) and they both do not boot on
 the
  Embest BBB.  I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue, or a u-boot config
  issue, or something else.

 Awesome, I'm disappointed too!  Guess i better update all my wiki
 pages, and say only official CircuitCo made boards are supported.

 So, SeeedStudio/Embest it's now your move to fix this issue, my
 email/contact info is easily available.

 Hi Robert,

 I'm not expecting any help/support from you on this, but here is some
 additional info you may find interesting.  :-)

 a) I haven't tried contacting Seeed about this.  I did look around for a
 contact at Embest and I found a forum
 (http://www.embest-tech.cn/community/forum.php) and a way to file a support
 ticket (http://www.embest-tech.com/ticket/index.php).  The forum is all
 Chinese.  I spent some time looking at google-translated posts there hoping
 to find the magic fix, without luck.  I suppose the next step will be to
 file a support ticket about it.

 b) The Embest BBB I received has the AM3359.  I noticed that the element 14
 website says their Embest BBB has the AM3358.  This may not be relevant to
 my Ubuntu boot issue, but it seemed interesting.

 c) When I boot the Embest BBB and watch the console output, it ends like
 this:

 Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
 gpio: pin 53 (gpio 53) value is 1
 mmc0 is current device
 micro SD card found

 (prerelease)
 GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

Ouch! That's the original April 2013 release. Right before i submitted
a patch to Koen to fix u-boot.

My Ubuntu/Debian images rely on at-least Angstrom's 2013.06.20
release to be flashed to eMMC.

So as long as you hold down the boot botton on power up, it should
still default to the bootloader on the microSD card.

Wow, that's such an old and broken default image..

[beagleboard] Debian boot - need a little help

2014-04-03 Thread Doug
I burned the debian 7.4 3-37 image to SD.  I am using a 5V supply and HDMI 
and wireless keyboard and mouse.

It boots. I see the penguin. I get the login prompt. seconds later all 
disappears. It looks like HDMI is still active but no video.

If I am quick I can type in a username so I know the keyboard is working.

Any ideas?

Does DEbian come up with an SSH port? I can't seem to find a DHCP entry in 
my router.

[beagleboard] Re: Debian boot - need a little help

2014-04-03 Thread Doug
OK I will answer my own question here at least partially.  Since I do not 
need HDMI and I want to go headless anyhow I logged in using USB. I then 
went into the /etc/network/interfaces file and found that the eth0 lines 
were commented out. So that is why I had no Ethernet connection. I added a 
static IP definition and rebooted. All is well now for Ethernet login on 
port 22.

Why is ethernet not supported at initial boot?

You need a fragment that targets the pruss. Have a look at the 
BB-BONE-PRU-00A0.dts example in the kernel source

you need to add a fragment that targets the pruss to enable it. Have a look 
at the BB-BONE- PRU*.dts files here -
