[beagleboard] Meassuring CPU load on BeagleBone Black

2015-08-20 Thread martin . wiin
Hey there,

Using the BeagleBone Black running 3.8.13-bone47, and I'm searching for a 
method for measuring the CPU load. This may be a standart Linux command, 
but i havn't been albe to find any. Somebody know of a effective method for 
this?

Thanks :)

Martin

That might work for a custom cape; I haven't yet started to design mine. But 
the current Wi-Fi cape you can get (I wanted to try to get it working first) is 
on the wrong pins.

 SPI. I wanted to put a TI WiLink module on my cape, so I got the existing 
 Wi-Fi cape and tried it out. But it conflicts with the eMMC, because the SPI 
 pins brought out on the connectors are the same ones used by the eMMC (I 
 think I have that right). The Bluetooth side of that module uses a UART.

[beagleboard] Re: How to enable PWM on 4 pins

2015-08-20 Thread TJF
Hi!

I use libpruio http://beagleboard.org/project/libpruio/ for PWM output 
(available on 14 header pins). It supports full control over the PWMSS 
registers:

   - Up to 8 PWM signals (6 x ePWM, 2 x eCAP).
   - Up to 6 of them can get synchonized (3 x 2 x ePWM) or
   - up to 5 of them can be independant signals (3 x ePWM, 2 x eCAP).

Re: [beagleboard] Wl12xx

2015-08-20 Thread Iain Hunter
Hi,
As a follow up I agree with the previous statement that wl127x drivers have
no device tree support. So you'll need to merge device tree support from
wl18xx drivers. As far as I can remember there are no major changes to
parameters passed by device tree to WiFi driver from wl127x to wl18xx. As
long as you successfully pass the wl12xx probe function without an error
you should be ok. Caveat is that I've not done this exercise.

 Hi,
 Which wilink device are you building for?
 The wl18xx family is now fully supported in 4.1 kernel. There is a device
 tree file for the wl1835 cape in the kernel that is best place to look.
 If you are looking at wl127x or wl128x then device tree will be similar
 but you'll need to build the Wi-Fi drivers out of tree.
 For the wl1835 cape look at the ti processor wiki for a page to describe
 full build and configuration on 4.1 kernel.

Re: [beagleboard] RAM 1GB option

From a schematic and PCB standpoint we can go up to 128GB, after the first
of the year. Assuming we have enough powernobody gripes about ti not
working on USB...and people are willing to pay.and the SW can support
it, it should be doable.

  what DAC do you use? How much eMMC storage do you need?

 I have yet to select the DAC/CODEC. Some TI part, most likely. I need to
 drive small speakers, so it'll probably be one without an integrated amp. I
 also only need mono, but to make the cape a little more capable (lulz), I'm
 going to try to make it stereo with an amp bridging option.

 As to how much, it's an open-ended question that would depend on cost. 16
 GB? 32 GB? 64 GB? More is always better, but cost is a limiting factor. I
 do know the current 4GB isn't enough, but 8GB would be enough to store the
 library of content that inspired my project.

[beagleboard] autonomous boat project

2015-08-20 Thread jgm . infinity
We are hoping to use the beaglebone black  on a project with 10 small 
autonomous boats with about 1 Watt-hour lot of onboard battery power 
(mostly used for propulsion). We need to stream audio data up to 30 kHz 
from each boat via local wifi and also send instructions to the propulsion 
units on the boat. If anyone has ideas, experience, or references on how to 
get started or the suitability of the beaglebone black for this project, we 
would be most grateful. We have funding and would love to collaborate with 
anyone on this project.

Best,
Greg

Re: [beagleboard] Re: RAM 1GB option

2015-08-20 Thread Kumar Abhishek
I'm interested to see what price point can be offered for a BeagleBone 
Black spin with - 
(i) 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port
(ii) 1 GB RAM

with the above two is good, and if possible, 
(iii) All 16 bits of PRU0 [ pr1_pru0_pru_r31[16:0] signals ] broken out on 
the headers or as an extra header.

[beagleboard] Re: BeagleBoard.org Approved accessories

2015-08-20 Thread Jason Kridner
Only other feedback I got from this on IRC was to not approve any
hardware that required closed source to function properly. Sounds like
a pretty reasonable request. Seems like this is a go.

 doing interesting board spins of their own where they engage Robert
 and myself to make sure the default software image still runs on their
 board and they pay a license fee into the Foundation to hopefully help
 us fund open development and sponsorships.

 Anyway, I'd like to try to provide some kind of logo people can use
 for accessories (capes, cases, peripherals, etc.). There is already a
 list, mostly maintained by Gerald, on the wiki at
 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Black_Accessories. This is a
 great place to start and I'll import all of the items listed there if
 people believe this is a useful exercise (and back annotate as well).
 However, making some sort of page on BeagleBoard.org backed by a logo
 people can put on their products and web pages seems like a good next
 step. I'm open to the thought that this is a bad idea or needs
 tweaking, so please review and respond.

 http://beagleboard.org/approved/

 Here's my first attempt at how to get approved:

 There's no charge for being BeagleBoard.org Approved, just a
 verification that needs to happen. There's no promise your product
 will be approved, but we want people to know to use your product if it
 is of good quality and compatibility.

 First, you'll need to send samples of your product to Robert, Gerald
 and Jason at a minimum so that they can test compatibility. Jason will
 send you shipping addresses and you can find his e-mail address on
 http://beagleboard.org/about. The product won't be returned because it
 will be used in testing future compatibility as well.

 Second, if any software is required to support your product, you'll
 need to make sure it is in the default images built by
 http://bit.ly/beagle-image-builder.

 Finally, you should wait to get a confirmation e-mail from jkridner at
 beagleboard.org with a vector PDF of the logo for inclusion on your
 website, package or product.

[beagleboard] Re: Where are the PWM Overlays stored?

2015-08-20 Thread Bill M
Thanks for the offer. Since I wrote, In addition to Robert's response, I 
also found a good article at 
https://briancode.wordpress.com/2015/01/06/working-with-pwm-on-a-beaglebone-black/
 and, 
after disabling the HDMI cape in uEnv.txt, was able to get P8.36 working as 
PWM. My ultimate goal is to be able to write stuff in C to run under the 
auspices of the OS and use it's utilities for various things while still 
trying to write as close to the hardware as the OS will let me (since I 
have a lot more experience writing bare metal).

Thanks again!

 Hi All,

 Can anyone tell me where the device tree overlays for the PWM are stored? 
 I found a post that described how to enable the PWM outputs by doing:

   modprobe pwm_test 
   echo am33xx_pwm  /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots 
   echo bone_pwm_P9_14  /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots 
   echo 500  /sys/devices/ocp.2/pwm_test_P9_14.*/period 
   echo 250  /sys/devices/ocp.2/pwm_test_P9_14.*/duty 

 This works for me, but I expect that there would be an 
 am33xx_pwm-00A0.dtbo file and a bone_pwm_P9_14-00A0.dtbo file in 
 /lib/firmware, but not only do I not find such overlays in this directory, 
 I can't find them anywhere on my system! What am I missing?

 my uname output: Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23

[beagleboard] Re: BeagleBoard.org Approved accessories

2015-08-20 Thread Gerald Coley
Approving accessories is a little tricky. No revision control and no source
control. We see this all the time on Wifi modules. Different revision
silicon and different silicon all together.

You would need this to be a direct relationship with the supplier of the
accessories. And we woudl need to find a away to test hem and stay in step
with the suppliers on any changes. We also have the case where the Linux
kerenl gets updated every now and then which can lead in some cases to an
accessory no longer working.

This will take some hard resources to do this correctly.

 what DAC do you use? How much eMMC storage do you need?

I have yet to select the DAC/CODEC. Some TI part, most likely. I need to drive 
small speakers, so it'll probably be one without an integrated amp. I also only 
need mono, but to make the cape a little more capable (lulz), I'm going to try 
to make it stereo with an amp bridging option.

As to how much, it's an open-ended question that would depend on cost. 16 GB? 
32 GB? 64 GB? More is always better, but cost is a limiting factor. I do know 
the current 4GB isn't enough, but 8GB would be enough to store the library of 
content that inspired my project.
