Hi Harvey, 

thanks for your reply!

...I was asking for the brand you are using...
Finding any hdmi on ebay is not a problem.

Thanks anyway! :)

Hi Przemek,

thats a cool idea!!! :)

Just to have aksed (and with NO experience/knowledge of this kind
as background from my side :)  
Is it possible to root such tablets only to put a small Linux 
distro on it _with_ X?
Does this tablets have audio?

Best regards,
mcc



Przemek Klosowski przemek.klosow...@gmail.com [15-04-12 05:32]:
 I've been trying to figure out how to use an android tablet over USB
 as an I/O device. Since there are 7 tablets costing $40, it might be
 a cool option.
 
 I came up with two scenarios:
 
 -  a specialized Android app that displays a custom graphic overlay
 and sends touchscreen events over USB, either in HID emulation or
 using a custom USB protocol
 
  - a general application that accepts graphics primitives, displays
 them on the android screen and then registers and sends back
 touchscreen events.
 
 This would be a child's play if Android ran X protocol---it would be
 just another remote display. But nooo, X is considered obsolete :(
 
 Does anyone have ideas how to approach this?

 You don't need X running on the BBB to do this.  In X the server is
 the system/screen which runs X (i.e. your desktop machine remote from
 the BBB) and the X client is the actual running program (on your BBB).
 
 Just do the following:-
 
 ssh -X name of your BBB
 
 then at the command prompt on the BBB run the program you want and it
 will pop up a window in the X server on your desktop machine.

 This shouldn't be a problem, since most header pins are configured as GPIO

 You could use the examples in libpruio to check the pins. Ie. io_input 
 http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_examples.html#SubSecExaIoInput
  
 shows the state of all GPIOs. Or button 
 http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_examples.html#SubSecExaButton
  
 configures a single GPIO as input and shows its state. It's easy to 
 customize the code for your pins or to test a GPIO pin as output.
 
 Run analyse 
 http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_examples.html#SubSecExaAnalyse
  
 right after booting to get a list of the default header pin configuration.
 
 Good luck!

Hi.

sorry for the delayed reply...your mail was accidently put into the
spam folder by procmail...have to look why...

Thanks for the links! Will check that...

What makes me worry isn't the voltage. It was the speed with that the
battery was half emptied which implies a high current. The battery was 
a CR1220 coin cell.

I have no knowledge about the internal design of such GPIO pin
attached silizium...could it be, that (fr example) the input
functionality get fried by teh current and out and/or other functions
are still working. Or is this view too simplistic?

 There are a second port on the connectors?
 Not all the signals are available. Gerald who designed the board says it

Hi,

I dont know exactly whether you need a second eth port in the sense of a 
physically exiting jack...

But if you need a second IP-address range this can easily be achieved
in linux.

Suppose ifconfig show this:


eth0: flags=4163UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST  mtu 1500
inet 192.168.17.18  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.178.255
ether XX:XX:fX:XX:bX:XX  txqueuelen   (Ethernet)
RX packets XX  bytes X (XXX.X MiB)
RX errors X  dropped X  overruns X  frame X
TX packets X  bytes XXX (X.X MiB)
TX errors X  dropped X overruns X  carrier X  collisions X
device interrupt XX  



and you need for example another eth interface with the address 
192.168.00.7
submit the command

ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.00.7 up

and there it is...

HTH!

Best regards,
Meino

  I did not read all the discussion you two have had, but if you have
  another mini to standard USB cable I'd give that a shot first. Early on
  after release, there were a few boards shipped with bad cables according to
  a few users. You could take that with a grain of salt ( I would ), but if
  you have  spare one to try, it would a quick test.
 
  On the Windows 7 side, I use Windows 7 x64 enterprise, and s I recall the
  mass storage drive always came up immediately( this is why i recommend
  checking the cable ), but the other drivers will require you to install the
  beaglebone driver listed on the getting started page. Then possibly you'll
  have to run Windows updates.
 
  Also the usb networking gadget should be set to static IP of 192.168.7.2
  - At least I am pretty sure this is how it came on the latest element14
  board we have here. I run both Windows, and Linux machines as host to
  several beglebones, and I would test, but I am on the road right now so
  can not check.
 
  Anyway, if you have some very specific Windows questions pertaining to
  the beaglebone, ask and I'll do my best to answer. Just be aware however,
  there a lot of information on internet about all this now days.

  I kind of already tried connecting with a wired LAN cable. Then I

  This is making me feel that the board has some fault.

Hi Anirudh,

ok...seems to be something with the Beaglebone...

I am more familiar with UNIX and Linux, so if it is
ok for you, I would like to suggest to use your
Ubuntu system for checking whats going on...

If not available please install

usbutils

(which homepage is here http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/)

Unplug the beaglebone, if not already done, then do
a 

lsusb  /tmp/withoutbbb.txt

then plug it in, wait a couple of seconds (only to get sure) 
and do a

lsusb  /tmp/withbbb.txt; diff  /tmp/withoutbbb.txt /tmp/withbbb.txt


. If there is a difference, then you Beablebone black has been
recognized on a low level basis.
I recently had a Wifi USB dongle which was listed via lsusb and
as soon as I tried to use the wlan0 interface, a message pops
up saying, that there was no such devicehrmmmp...the firmware
was missing...the usb enumeration has worked and the device was still
sleeping.

May be there is only some software missing (kernel modules) or not
loaded.

Please mail me, what the test results in :)

Best regards,
Meino

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone black not recognized when plugged in (new just out of the box beaglebone black)

2014-12-16 Thread meino . cramer

Hi Anirudh,

:)

Since the Beaglebone black was switched from Angstrom to Debian I dont
know, whether Debian now runs with a fixed IP-adress or uses dhcp...

That is: You need to figure that out.

ok...lets hack your beaglebone.

You need: Duck Tape, a Swiss Army knife, some chewing gum...
...wrong movie..I am joking, sorry... 8)

You need: Ethernet cables (CAT5), a Linux PC which can talk
to the internet, your beaglebone and a
switch/hub.

Connect your PC to the switch/hub. Connect your beaglebone to
the switch, connect the LAN cable, which ends in your DSL modem
with the hub/switch. Power the hub/switch. Power the PC. Wait
until ypu can login (and do that ;) then power your beaglebone
and wait until it seems to be up.

Install nmap on your linux box.

Call

ifconfig

. You will see something like this:


eth0: flags=4163UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST  mtu 1500
inet 192.168.XXX.XXX netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.XXX.XXX
ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
RX packets nn  bytes nn (nnn nnn)
RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
TX packets nn  bytes  ( nnn)
TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
device interrupt 36  

lo: flags=73UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING  mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
loop  txqueuelen 0  (Local Loopback)
RX packets 1144  bytes 1941206 (1.8 MiB)
RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
TX packets 1144  bytes 1941206 (1.8 MiB)
TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

(the counts of package will surely differ...)

lo is your loopback device, which is not needed here.

eth0 (or eth1) is your ethernet interface.

The Xs after the word inet is the IP-adress of your Linux box.

inet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

often they start with 192.168..., which indicates a private network.
There are certain IP-address ranges which are for private use only,
which means: There will be no server outside in the wild, wild
internet, which have an IP-address of these ranges.

OK...now you have to scan you network. Be sure, nothing else is
connected to your Linux box (LAN-wise), since accidentally 
scanning networks in the wild wild internet may...hmmm...
irritate some people... ;)

Assuming the IP-address of your Linux box is

192.168.100.200

you need to call

nmap -v -sn 169.168.100.1-255

. For this you need to be root...

Nmap will then scan for hosts in the range of

169.168.100.1.169.168.100.255

and report any host it will find.

It will report your Linux box...and with some luck the IP-address
of your beaglebone.

If a host is found it looks like:

Nmap scan report for ariettaa (192.168.10.10)
Host is up (0.00067s latency).

This is for my Arietta G25 (also a small emebedded linux 
system 5.5cmx2.5cm...;)

The given IP-adress is the one you are looking for. Please
dont confuse this with the IP-adress reported for your Linux PC...

This means:
You Beaglebone is up and running and (somehow) ready to accept a
connection.

If not already done:
Install openssh and follow the configuration instructions. Create
a private and public key.

Start sshd then. 

Now connect to you beaglebone this way:

ssh root@IP-adsress of your beaglebone

If asked for a passwort, enter nothing (the default
password is blank according to this:
http://beagleboard.org/getting-started
means: hit return

Thats it...you have logged into your beaglebone.

BUT:

If NO other running host is reported by nmap things are becoming 
a little more complicated.

Two possibilities:
Your beaglebone is dead, bricked or what else. You need a RMA
and send it back for repair.

OR:

It uses a fixed IP-address which does not fit into the address
range of your PC.

You need either a second ethernet card or a Linux PC...ha! Wait...
you _*HAVE*_ a Linux PC...

According to this:
http://beagleboard.org/getting-started

the IP-address of your Beaglebone board is 192.168.7.2 (but I dont
know, whether this information is dated before or after the switch
from Angstrom to Debian...)

First you need a second ethernet interface ... and since this is
Linux, you dont need a second ethernet card for this to work.

Assuming, your first ethernet interface (as reported previously by
ifconfig) is eth0 , then as root enter

ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.7.10

which gives your PC another IP address...but one of the range of your
beaglebone.

Then try to ping your beaglebone with

ping 192.168.7.2

. If it answers, try to login via ssh as described above, but use 
192.168.7.2 instead.

And if this doesn't help, try to scan the address range with
nmap and the address range of 192.168.7.1-255. Again, your
Linux PC will also be reported.

If this will also fail...my storage of ideas is emptied...
You need a sdcard to boot from then...

HTH!

Good luck! 8)

[beagleboard] Writes to SDcards ... In search of the guilty task

2014-12-14 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

before I go crazy...one question:

On my BBB the file

/sys/fs/ext4/mmcblk0p2/session_write_kbytes

reports a steadily increasing count to writes to 
mmcblk0p2 (root).
Regardsless what I trying to identify the process...I cant
find it. There seems no file be written and no task does
any I/O. For testing I stopped swap space...no effect.

Would it be possible, that writes to FIFOs and PIPEs, which
incarnations are on that block device, are counted via
session_write_kbytes...even if the bytes are not physically written
to that device?

Any other idea?

Thank you very much for any enlightement in advance! :)

Best regards,
Meino

Hi,

then the process is missing a controling terminal.
Try to start it with nohup from the script to verify that.




Kevin D'Souza kevin.dsouza3...@gmail.com [14-12-14 20:28]:
 nono
 the process just does UART work up and down (transferring data between 
 UARTS).
 
 If i keep the process open in a terminal it runs indefinitley.
 if i run it under the init.d after 5mins it goes off. 
 
 no blocking calls, no file io. 
 
 is there a way to spawn the process via systemd and keep WATCHDOG=1 
 somehow...

Hi Anubhav,

do not move uEnv.txt, the U-Boot image and the kernel images

Instead edit /etc/fstab and remove the mount command of /boot.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Remove all files from /media/BEAGLEBONE

2014-12-14 Thread meino . cramer
Hi Anubhav,

one thing I did not know about your system is: Are you using
an SDcard to boot from or do you boot from the internal flash
memory?

Critical files are more than only those under /boot.
Delete /sbin/init and your system will hang shortly after
the kernel is running... ;)

I dont know of the exact mechanism Windows is accessing the
partitions via USB...

After plugging in the BBB via USB to a Windows PC...do you access
the files in question via WEB interface (browser) or low level
via Windows explorer (NOT Internet Explorer or such alike) ...
that is...there must be something on you PC which enables
Windows to read ext4fs formatted partitions...

If it is a WEB interface you use...I am out of bussiness here,
since I am by no means a WEB-stuff guru... :)
But I /think/ (read: Dont know for sure) that must be file
which configures the running webserver on the BBB to export
parts of the filesystem to the calling browser on the Windows
PC. This file is, what you want to edit..

Good luck!
Best
Meino

Hi,

I throw away Angstrom and moved to Gentoo after a few updates
complete scrambled Angstrom...
Consider to boot from SDcard, because it can be edited 
via an USB cardreader on the PC and can be replaced if
weared out (flash has a limited count of write cycles).
If the internal flash is damaged, you a solder iron, 
VERY good eyes and a very very steady hand

Only my two cents,...

 Anubhav,
 
 By the way, Linux is Linux, is Linux. Angstrom is in  round about way even
 based on Debian. Through Open Zaurus . . .Anyway, you're going to find it
 more, and more difficult moving on with Angstrom I think . . .

  Hi Anubhav,
 
  one thing I did not know about your system is: Are you using
  an SDcard to boot from or do you boot from the internal flash

  I boot from internal flash.
 
 
  Critical files are more than only those under /boot.
  Delete /sbin/init and your system will hang shortly after
  the kernel is running... ;)
 
  I dont know of the exact mechanism Windows is accessing the
  partitions via USB...
 
  Its the mini USB , that loads up the fat partition Getting started with
  beagle , this is the place where I want to have my own bunch of files,
  and not the files placed by default (mlo/uenv etc).
 
 
 
  After plugging in the BBB via USB to a Windows PC...do you access
  the files in question via WEB interface (browser) or low level
  via Windows explorer (NOT Internet Explorer or such alike) ...
  that is...there must be something on you PC which enables
  Windows to read ext4fs formatted partitions...
 
  If it is a WEB interface you use...I am out of bussiness here,
  since I am by no means a WEB-stuff guru... :)
  But I /think/ (read: Dont know for sure) that must be file
  which configures the running webserver on the BBB to export
  parts of the filesystem to the calling browser on the Windows
  PC. This file is, what you want to edit..
 
  I dont require web interface
 
 
  Good luck!

Hi Anubhav,
   
do not move uEnv.txt, the U-Boot image and the kernel images
around. Due to the limited technical possibilities of the very early
boot stages, these files are exspected to be at certain physical
place on the flash memory.
   
Instead edit /etc/fstab and remove the mount command of /boot.
Do a backup first.
   
   m fstab shows:
   rootfs   /auto   defaults
   1  1
   proc /procproc   defaults
   0  0
   devpts   /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5
   0  0
   tmpfs/tmp tmpfs  defaults
   0  0
  
   It doesnt have the mount command of boot.
   Even if I were able to stop the boot, would that mean disabling access
  to
   the partition on windows desktop?  I do require the parition to appear
  on
   desktop when connected, but I dont want the user to access these

 Hi William,

 Thanks for your quick response.

 I cannot really move to the debian, as it has taken me a lot of
  effort
:) ,
 to understand my way around angstrom.. it will be very steep curve
  for me
 as of now.

 I was thinking, is there no way to create a new vfat partition on
  bbb,
and
 expose that on the thumbdrive, and let this default  one just remain
 unmounted ?

 I will readup on the read-only part.

 Can you point me to some info on how/when does this partition get
  loaded
?
 do we have some sort of hook that can be utilized ?

 Can I not place the mlo/ig env files at  a place where its picked
  by
bbb ,
 but not exposed over thumbdrive ?

 Regards
 Anubhav

Re: [beagleboard] Question regarding squashfs

Gunjan Gupta viran...@gmail.com [14-12-12 08:48]:
 Hi Robert,
 
 I am using a BBB Rev A5C which only has 2 GB of emmc storage. In order to 
 conserve the storage, I am thinking to use squashfs for my root 
 file-system. The layout I am planning will be some thing like a /boot 
 partition, / partition, and then another partition that will act as an 
 overlay over squashfs. Also I am planning to have a option available so 
 that I can enable a separate overlay for the /home in case a SD card is 
 present.
 
 I don't exactly know the amount of changes required for this, but roughly I 
 guess I have to customize the kernel and the initrd at the very least. 
 Could you please comment on whether this kind of system is possible and if 
 it will have any impact on performance of the system.
 
 With Best Regards
 viraniac

Hi Gunjan,

not exactly the answer to your question but maybe a way to keep
the rootfs small and speedy (no compression/decompression).

Warning! This needs more do-it-yourself-action and -compiling.

Instead of the usual Distros, which came which much stuff installed
to keep it easy and straigh forward for beginners try GENTOO.

Gentoo is source code based - which means you have to compile the
stuff you want (beside a rudimentary rootfs) yourself, which takes
time, especially on small devices like Beaglebone Black, Arietta.G25 
etc.

The usual steps are:
Download a stage3 rootfs from here:
http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm/autobuilds/current-stage3-armv7a_hardfp/
and detar the stuff as root onto the second (rootfs) partition.
Install UBoot, uEnv.txt and zImage onto the first partition.

Do the basic Gentoo configuration steps as described here:
https://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml

(start with chapter 8.) 

This is for x86 systems, but on the level of application there is not 
much difference to ARM.

After that you will have a very small system and you are free to only
install those things you want. Package dependencies are tracked by
the package manager (eix/emerge and the Gentooo ebuilds), so no
worry about that.

+ Pros: As said -- you can keep it small.
- Cons: Time needed for compiling the applications (especially valid in
  the beginning) and there is more to do by hand as with other
  distros...but this evolve into a Pro after some time...you will
  see :)

HTH!

A colleque bought a new Beaglebone black, flashed a SDcard

But that was only the Debian Rootfs.

What is a good source for an image which comes with

Hi Robert,


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT HINT!

:)

The new kernel version and the hint from Acmesystems
mailing list to explicitely set the XTALs clock frequencies
in the dts file are the solutions for both problems -- the
running clock and not being able to poweroff the board!

Now the clock is just *in* time and poweroff powers off the
board.

GREAT!
I am happy!
Thank you VERY much!

[beagleboard] [OT]: ATMEL AT91SAM9G25/ARM926EJ-S Helpneededforinterpretationofadmesgmessage

2014-11-30 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I am using a Arietta G25 (http://www.acmesystems.it/arietta) with 
Robert Nelsons Kernel 3.17.3 and the kernel configuration provided
by Acmesystems for their Debian Linux for the Arietta G25 based on 
Linux kernel 3.16.1.
As far as I know the only patches they used are agains dts/dtb files
(I use the same ones) and to configure the kernel without the need of
using makeconfig.

So far so nice...the system boots with a Gentoo stage3 rootfs.

There only two things left:
1.) shuthdown -h -H now (as said to be used by Acmesystems) reboots
the system instead of powering it off (which works with their
image).

2.) The at91 RTC is missing the Real...the difference are several
minutes per hour.

I compared the dmesg output of the Arietta G25 booted with one and
the other system. With the Gentoo system there is one line which
irritates me and may indicate a way to a solution for the RTC problem:

[0.00] Main crystal frequency not set, using approximate value
[0.00] master clk is overclocked
[0.00] sched_clock: 32 bits at 128 Hz, resolution 7812500ns, wraps 
every 167772160ns
[0.00] Console: colour dummy device 80x30
[0.054687] Calibrating delay loop... 220.07 BogoMIPS (lpj=862208)

The clock frequency of the CPU is unknown??? The Debian system does
not have that problem...

Any suggestion how to fix one or (better! :) both problem is VERY 8)
appreciated! Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
Meino

Hi liyaoshi,

in the meanwhile I digged deeper into the kernel
and found, that in Linux 3.17.3 there is a new
configuration item AT91_USE_OLD_CLK which is set
to n which in turn set USE_OLD_CLK to n.
But last get set when using Linux 3.16.1.
I compiled Linux 3.16.1 with the instructions
of Acmesystems (including the patch, which inserts
some dts files and the kernel configuration itsself)
and it seems (no long period done though) that the
RTC problem is gone.

As Robert mentioned in his mail to this thread,
there were a lot of RTC changes AND (TADA!) 
the Arietta should be supported by the mainline kernel,
which in turn makes me completly independant from any
patches by acmesystems (*NO* inplicite or explicite cirtism
intended here!!!), which are GOOD news.

Gentlemen...start your compilers!

Meino

  maybe you should try this patch

 That's for the Cortex-A5 from Atmel, the Arietta G25 should be fully
 supported on mainline.
 
 There's been lots of rtc changes, you should retry with 3.18-rc7, as
 the free-electrons guys took over mach-at91..

Hi Robert,

thank you for your posting! :)

THATS really good news: Independance from any specialized
patches! :)

Only to ensure, that I am not confusing things again:
I interpret Mainline as: Take a kernel from ftp.kernel.org
Or does the free-electrons guys took over mach-at91 mean,
that I should search their site for their kernel sources?

Best regards,
Meino

 Then run debian wheezy 'armel', it's built for armv4t so it'll run on both

Hi Robert,

thank for email! :)

On my Beaglebone Black I am using Gentoo (hf), which I dont want to
swap with debian or any other distribution.

Is it possible to install a hardfloat and a softfloat compiler
simultanously on my BBB.
And is my assumption correct, that nothing else should be changed
with exception of the gcc?

Best regards,
Meino

Re: [beagleboard] Bricked BBB

2014-10-28 Thread meino . cramer
denton.matt...@gmail.com denton.matt...@gmail.com [14-10-28 16:52]:
 Hi,
 
 So I have done something rather stupid and managed to brick my BBB!
 
 I was attempting to copy a bootable SD image using the dd command to the 
 nand flash, and instead of copying the rootfs partition I copied the boot 
 partition! e.g.
 
 dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk1p1
 
 Now the device does not boot, no LED's apart from power.
 
 If I look at the serial console output all I get is the letter 'C' repeated 
 every 300m or so. :(

Hi Denton,

as for my knowledge it is not that easy to brick a BBB... ;)

Prepare a SDcard for booting from it, insert the SDcard, boot and
repair the emmc...
If necessary, urge the board to boot from SDcard.

Or try the steps described here:
http://beagleboard.org/getting-started

Under Update board with latest software

GOOD LUCK!

mcc

[beagleboard] BBB and netconsole

2014-10-24 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I am trying to get netconsole to run.

While rebooting the beaglebone black I cannot catch a single
UDP-packet.

After boot succeeds I logged into the bbb and looked into the dmesg
and found:



[0.534963] netpoll: netconsole: local port 6665
[0.534994] netpoll: netconsole: local IP 192.168.178.27
[0.535010] netpoll: netconsole: interface 'eth0'
[0.535024] netpoll: netconsole: remote port 
[0.535038] netpoll: netconsole: remote IP 198.168.178.21
[0.535054] netpoll: netconsole: remote ethernet address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
[0.535073] netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't exist, aborting
[0.535087] netconsole: cleaning up

(XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is a placeholder for the real MAC, which I added to
the optargs)

I thought, that netconsole will initialze eth0 as soon as possible.
Instead it reports, that it could not find eth0.

I think I miss an aspect of this thingy...but what?

How can I make this work?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

 USR0 is bleaking(as usual).
 USR2 is bleaking but very quickly.
 
 
 My problem occured, when I tried to disable the HDMI Cape.
 So I uncommented the line with the HDMI/eMMC cape in uEnv.txt.
 
 And since it does not work.
 
 I tried to flash my BB with the latest Debian Image, and it looks to have

Hi,

Hopefully I did understand you correctly (I am no native english

I think the problem is:
You have disabled the emmc, from which the beagle bone boots...

To get out of it:
Flash an image to a sdcard, insert the  sdcard and boot it.

Re: [beagleboard] BB as man-in-the-middle USB Cam Device

 Hi,
 
 Can anyone tell me if it would be theoretically possible to use BB as 
 man-in-the-middle device for USB Webcam(s).
 
 Basic idea is: BB is connected to host computer and emulates web cam while 
 actual web cam(s) are connected to BB. Video feed is then forwarded via 
 emulated device to host.
 
 Thanks

Hi,

I saw that video...thanks for makeing it.

What did the debug console say, if you connect the serial output
header via an serial-to-usb adaptor (be careful with the voltage specs
of that adaptor!) to your pc?

May be your are able to intercept the boot process and setup up the
parameters - which normally are given via uEnv.txt - to correct values
and boot into sdcard.

How did you setup the sdcard?
Where did you diable emmc?

mcc

[beagleboard] Serial header on Beaglebone Black

2014-10-08 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

My beaglebone blacks system (kernel and software) is on sdcard. I dont
use the internal flash.
I want to connect an Utlimate GPS chip by Adafruit
(http://www.adafruit.com/product/746)
to the Beaglebone black. This chip uses an UART type of connection.

Is it posible to connect the chip to the serial header, which already
exist on the beaglebone black PCB, if I switch off the serial console in 
uEnv.txt 
or may this harm the GPS chip, because any garbage which comes out of
the header while booting the board kills/harms it?

Any precautions I have to take? Or is this the wrong way to go?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Best regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] MT75601USTA driver source for 3.14.19+ kernel ???

2014-10-05 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

after struggling from 3.8.x kernel to 3.14.x kernel for my
bbb I finally had to realize, that the source I have for my
UWN200 WLan USB adapter (driver MT7601USTA) doesn't
compile with it.
I pulled the source of the driver from 
https://github.com/rcn-ee/mt7601u.git

It stops compiling with this error

The kernel source is

The source is pulled from

Does anyone successfully compile this driver for the 3.14.19+-Kernel
(or compatible) ? Where can I get valid source for it?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

[beagleboard] What event urges me to use build_kernel.sh instead of ./tools/rebuild.sh

2014-10-04 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

currently I am in the Middle Of The Road of
migrating from 3.8.x to 3.14.x.

Currently the kernel is building natively
on my bbb. This take time...

The first start, the call to build_kernel.sh freezes 
my bbb deadly while git cloning the base kernel sources.
I had to cut power, put the sdcard in to my PC, fsck the
whole thing and then rebuild.sh there until the point,
the kernel configuration tool came up.

I Ctrl-C that, put back the sdcard into the bbb and
do a ./tools/rebuild.sh there, which does the trick.

Now I have a dilemma:
I have no clue which events/circumstances will urge me
to use build_kernel.sh instead of ./tools/rebuild.sh.

For updateing I am using this script in the bb-kernel
directory:

#! /bin/zsh
git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp
git pull
git checkout origin/am33x-v3.14 -b tmp

From my understanding each change to a file has to
trigger a recompilation of the file by make and this
is true for all files of the build process as far as
I know.

On the other hand... ;)



For what events/circumstances is it highly recommended 
to use build_kernel.sh and are there tricks or workflows
how I can minimize these?


Is it possible to update the base kernel sources in a way,
which makes it tools/rebuild.sh-friendly?



Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
mcc

Hi Robert,

thanks fpr your explanation ... but my lack of knowledge about
english ...

You wrote:

...what does that mean?  EOL is part of the ASCII characterset and
means End of line...at least for my limited understanding...
Please help me :)

Re: [beagleboard] which bbb 3.14+ kernel to use?

2014-10-04 Thread meino . cramer
robert.berger robert.karl.ber...@gmail.com [14-10-04 18:12]:
 Hi,
 
 I am a bit confused about which 3.14 or newer kernel to use. 
 
 Currently I use https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/tree/am33x-v3.14 
 as 
 described in the EEWiki and it works quite well for me. Is this end of 
 life? Or only the v3.14 branch of it?
 
 Rob Nelson suggested in another thread:
 
 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev
 
 Or
 
 https://github.com/beagleboard/linux
 
 In https://github.com/beagleboard/linux I see 3.2, 3.8.13, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 
 branches, in  https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev 3.12, 
 3.14, 3.15, but in 
 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/tree/am33x-v3.14 there are 
 branches from 3.12 to 3.17. 
 
 Does this mean for 3.14 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev 
 or https://github.com/beagleboard/linux should be used and for cutting edge 
 kernels like 3.17 
 https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel/tree/am33x-v3.14?
 
 Regards,
 
 Robert

Second this...

I am also confused...

Is the kind of building the kernel as described in Roberts eewiki
still valid for 3.14.x ?
How can I incorporate the new sources into that what is described in
the eewiki?
Furthermore I found this:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/BeagleBone_Black

So How should one build what version of what kernel according to what
desciption. Not everyone is an insider...and google matches only words 
and not sense...

Best regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] Switching kernel (RN) from 3.8.x to 3.?.x...

2014-10-03 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

since I have lost another embedded system (noy BBB) in the past due
to too old system software I want to switch from Robert Nelsons 3.8.x
kernel to a newer one (of course: a kernel maintained by Robert
Nelson! :)

My hardware consists of 

Audio Cape A1
LCD7 Cape A2
RS232 Cape A1
Beaglebone Black A5 and C

with the 3.8.x kernel it was possible to use them all together by
disableing the LEDs of the Audio Cape and disabling HDMI and internal
flash (not used anyway).

I am using Gentoo and except for the kernel itsself all software is
compiled by hand (read: by gcc) natively on the BBBs.

On the eewiki pages of the Beaglebone Black I saw that either 3.8.x or
3.15.x ist recommended. On the other hand, I think I could remember
that 3.14.x is a long term maintance version...?

I am a little confused now.

Is there is a tutorial/howto which describes the transistion from a
kernel with capemgr to one without and a decision guide what
kernel to choose in the above described case?


Thank you very much in advance for any hint and help!
Best regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] In search of a certain kind of display...

2014-09-30 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I am looking for a certain kind of display:
The LCDs useally combined with the beaglebone black are capes: They
are attached directly to the bbb.

I put my bbb into a case of the size of an Altoids tin box.
Since it is made of solid metal and painted black I dont want
to drill holes etc in it.

My BBB is setup for headless and mobile useage.

Now I am looking for a display, which can be attached via USB/LAN/???
to the bbb. As a last resort I would choose HDMI...but I really dont
like to do so, since it blocks ports.

Is there any display of such kind, which is known to work with the 
bbb?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] Booting a Cape-enabled kernel on a bare bbb

2014-09-28 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

before shooting into my own feets and possibly harm the hardware:
I am using Linux 3.8.13-bone67 by Robert Nelson with Gentoo linux.

To the BBB I normally use for this there are attached a LCD7 display,
an RTC via GPIOs and an Audio Cape.

To get this running I needed to disable the LEDs of the Audio board.

I want to boot the same kernel on a second BBB without any cape/RTC
attached.

Is it failsafe or are there any problems with this?
(There is no software in userspace, which accesses the not existing
hardware automagically.)

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards and have a nice weekend!

[beagleboard] UWN200/MT7601U: lsusb -v hangs

2014-09-26 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

Thanks to Robert, I got the driver for my UWN200
(MT7601USTA Ralink) Wifi USB dongle compiled and 
I can see the WLANs around me.

One thing remains:
Doing a
lsubs
works,

But doing a 
lsubs -v

hangs. Last entry listed:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. 
Device Descriptor:
bLength18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB   2.01
bDeviceClass0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0 
bDeviceProtocol 0 
bMaxPacketSize064
idVendor   0x148f Ralink Technology, Corp.
idProduct  0x7601 
bcdDevice0.00
iManufacturer   1 
X

The X marks the position of the cursor on the screen.

I am using Gentoo Linux, Robert Nelsons kernel 3.8.13-bone67
and Robert Nelsons version of the MT7601USTA Ralink/mediaThek
driver.

Is this quite normal (using this driver reveals this problem),
or is it my driver with this problem?

Thank you very much for any suggestion!

mcc

Re: [beagleboard] Re: UWN200 / mt7601Usta: Very first steps need a short help

2014-09-22 Thread meino . cramer

Hi Richard,

jepp...
The offered kernel driver is for kernel 2.6.* and compiles
with errors under  3.8.13-bone66.
lsusb hangs, when it lists the according entry
ifconfig shows only the half of ra0

To give feedback to logic supply (from where I ordered the
UWN200) as soon as possible I dont want to step through
a full Wifi/Wlan configuration session.

I only want to proof that the UWN200 is working ok as soon as
possible.
If done I have either to send it back (warranty) or I have enough
time for a reasonable setup.

Is there any driver source, which compiles cleanly and is of this
century?

Best regards,
mcc

I am not that mainstream... ;)

I am using Gentoo...so everything must be compiled manually...

 The BeagleBone Black Rev C (Debian) comes with pre-installed drivers for

  The offered kernel driver is for kernel 2.6.* and compiles

  lsusb hangs, when it lists the according entry
  ifconfig shows only the half of ra0
 
  To give feedback to logic supply (from where I ordered the
  UWN200) as soon as possible I dont want to step through
  a full Wifi/Wlan configuration session.
 
  I only want to proof that the UWN200 is working ok as soon as
  possible.
  If done I have either to send it back (warranty) or I have enough
  time for a reasonable setup.
 
  Is there any driver source, which compiles cleanly and is of this

[beagleboard] recompile the Robert Nelson kernel

2014-09-03 Thread meino . cramer

Hi,

with the kernel source by Robert Nelson there come some really
handy scripts like rebuild.sh and build_kernel.sh.

I had copied the whole thing onto my beaglebone black and compiled
a kernel natively this night.

Now I only want to change (for testing purposes) some code and
recompile the kernel again without updateing/patching etc...
A simple recompilation of what I have.

I skimmed through rebuild_kernel.sh and found a lot of additional
things to set,configure etc. before the compilation itsself is
triggered.

What is the correct way to start a simple recompilation as mentioned
above...or there a script already which mananges this task (I did not
foudn one, though)...?


Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

 Just call it as:
 
 ./tools/rebuild.sh
 
 It's a mirror of:
 ./build_kernel.sh
 
 except, it doesn't call the git/patch sub-scripts.

   -capturing a live video stream using a cam attached to BBB
   -processing the captured data(some kind of compressions)
   -send the compressed data wirelessly using a zigbee module attached to
  BBB
  
   *my doubts are*
   - can BBB capture video streams from a camera?
   -If yes, what are the cams which are economical to buy??
   -can BBB process videos with openCV installed on it??
   -can a Zigbee module be attached to BBB??
   -can i be able to operate BBB with batteries(two no.s) or a portable usb
   battery ??
  
  
  
   since am a beginner in embedded linux platform please kindly suggest me
   tutorials and books which i can go through to master the use of BBB with
   openCV and interfacing BBB with Zigbee module.
  
   I am  looking forward your views and suggestions which will be greatly

[beagleboard] Kernel updates for 3.8. ?

2014-08-22 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

First of all: 
This is no critism or such!!! (I am not a native english speaker...)

I am using kernel version 3.8.13 for my beaglebone and update my git repository 
of the kernel daily.
A lot of changes were fetched often...

But the Release of 3.8.13-bone53 is there since 15.5.2014.


Will there be further releases or is this version dead?

Hi Robert,

thanks for your help.

The linked site I visit regulary, if my tree
doesn't produce booting kernels any more. Then I delete the
old tree and create a new one according to what is described here:

http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

I entered updating as a more global keyword into the site search
of the linked site and what I got back are 244 defocussed screenshots. Sorry
for not clicking each to look, whether it is for what I am looking
for...

Unfortunately there is so much you can update when it comes to the
Beaglebone/Black

The procedure I used previously (and which lead to unbootable kernel
images after a while) is this:

From here

KERNEL
LICENSE
README
build_deb.sh
build_kernel.sh
deploy
dl
ignore
patch.sh
patches
repo_maintenance
scripts
system.sh
system.sh.sample
tools
version.sh

I do a 

git pull
cd ignore/linux-src
git pull


Beat regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] Booting from USBSTICK and fallback to SDcard if failed

2014-02-01 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I searched on the internet for booting the BBB from something else
than eMMC and SDcard. I found descriptions like this one
http://www.embeddedhobbyist.com/debian-tips/beaglebone-black/beaglebone-black-usb-boot/
which describe how to boot from other media.

What I miss and want to ask:
Is it possible to construct something like an if-then'else
construction to decide, what to boot?

I only want to boot kernel and the devicetree from different
media. The rootfs will always be on the SDcard.

It should boot like this:

If there is an USBstick attached to the BBB then
If there is a kernedevicetree on the attached USBstick then
boot kernel/devicetree from the USBstick
else
boot kernedevicetree from SDcard
fi
else
boot kernedevicetree from SDcard
fi

Is that possible ?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards and have a nice weekend!

 Yes you can. If you look in default u-boot evironment, it looks for the
 SDCard and if it is installed, it loads uEnv.txt, dtb file and
 uImage/zImage from the SDCard. You will have to modify the uEnv.txt file
 to include the USB code you found in the link above. I would suggest you
 run each command manually to understand how they work and then create a
 uEnv.txt file once you have a working scheme.

 John

Hi John,

thanks for your reply! :)

I have a LCD7 cape attached to my BBB together with some other electronic
sandwhiches and the serial connector on the BBB is not THAT easy to
access...so...is there any other way than interrupting the U-Boot boot via 
serial
connected terminal to get a glimpse of the default environment of the
U-Boot?

Have a nice weekend!

mcc

I bought it from www.exp-tech.de.
Currently -- as so many others -- they cannot sell
any Beaglebone Black...everything is out of stock.

Sigh...

 Well, they are supposed to have RMA stock and not sell that stock. If they
 have no RMA stock, maybe they don't get to be a distributor anymore. Go
 ahead and request the RMA.

[beagleboard] Harddisk accessible only after reboot

2014-01-18 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I am running an uptodate kernel by Rober Nelson (3.8.13-bone36).
To beaglebone black I have attached a powered USB-hub and to this
hub an external harddisk (powered over one (!) usb connector by
the USB hub).

When first powering the harddisk and then the beaglebone,
the beaglebone does not see the harddisk (fstab has entries for
mounting the harddisk). The time between powering the harddisk
and the beaglebone doesn't matter...the result is alwayse the same.

When I reboot the beaglebone after that, everything works fine.

The according modules are integrated in the kernel.

How can I accomplish, that the harddisk is accessible at the first
boot of the beaglebone black ?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

[beagleboard] Non-changing access path to brightness (LCD7 backlight)

2014-01-09 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

I am running Linux 3.8.13-bone38 on a beaglebone black with
Gentoo.

Some scripts I wrote access the brightness control of the
backlight of the LCD7 under /sys/...

Unfortunately the path to that control file seems not 
to be constant from boot to boot.

At the moment it is:
/sys/devices/ocp.3/backlight.12/backlight/backlight.12/brightness

But I see different numberings sometimes.

Is there any constant path to any control file, which enables the
scripts to control the brightness?
Or: Is there any constant path to a file, which content gives me
the correct path so I can stich togethter the resulting path
to the brightness control file?

Best regargs,
mcc

[beagleboard] Robert Nelson Kernel: Audio cape support after 2013-10-19: What to patch?

2013-11-17 Thread meino . cramer
 Hi,

 On a beaglebone black I am using Robert Nelsons kernel, the AUDIO
 cape and the LCD7 cape.
 With some patches I found on the net and with switching off the LED
 support for the audio cape makes it possible to run all that
 smoothly. But sometime after the 19.10.2013 this does not work
 anymore.

 Now I looked into the list of patches the script patch.sh applies to
 the kernel and compared it to all patches inside the patch directory.

 Not all patches are used.


 I am neither using HDMI not eMMC

 What patches do I have to use/activate/insert to make my audio cape
 run again (The LED-tweak still works, so no concern needed about this) ?

 Thank you very much in advance for any help!

 Best regards,
 mcc

Re: [beagleboard] How to change initial runevel

Bernd Eggink bernd.egg...@sudrala.de [13-10-02 10:52]:
 
 Hi group,
 I want to permanently change the initial run , so that gdm does not pop up 
 (I guess that would be 4 or 3), but couldn't find any documentation about 
 this. I tried adding 3 or 4 to the optargs line in /boot/uEnv.txt, but 
 this didn't change anything, the system always boots into runlevel 5. I 
 could of course automatically start a script in 5 which does a init 3, 
 but I'm sure there must be a cleaner way.
 
 Can anybody help?

 Bernd
