Re: [beagleboard] Debian Wheezy uEnv.txt does not load at boot time

6: ff:P-O-- Bone-Black-HDMIN,00A0,Texas Instrument,BB-BONELT-HDMIN
There's no pwm, no uart and ole HDMI's still there. Can anyone explain that?
Does the uEnv.txt file require things in a special order?
Well, it did exactly what you told it to do. The last definition:
optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN
disabled HDMI/HDMIN. The two previous definitions of optargs were
ignored, as the variable optargs was overwritten by the last define.
Does that make sense? It's simple variable defines..

[beagleboard] Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta + fixes) image you want to test (2014-03-19)
First, thanks to everyone for testing the beta image! In this last two week window I've rolled in many of your changes. I'm still waiting for amazon to deliver a few hardware components for testing a couple issues discovered. I believe Jason has a few cloud9 fixes in the works still too. So please continue to use the bug tracker: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases Two big changes: I've bumped u-boot to v2014.04-rc2 and rolled in Tom's memory address changes, this should help things down the road in capemgr 2.0 and random hardlocks when the zImage overwrote the dtb file in memory. Also on the serial ssh console, I've setup a banner link to: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian It's my hope this page will help new users find common faq's/etc, hopefully further helping the out of box experience. (PS: I'm also begging for FAQ ideas from you guys. WiFi setup is an obvious one i need to write down.) So the images are linked to from here: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-03-19 and the full changelog/tweaklog: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-03-19_Changes Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

First, thanks to everyone for testing the beta image! In this last two week window I've rolled in many of your changes. I'm still waiting for amazon to deliver a few hardware components for testing a couple issues discovered. I believe Jason has a few cloud9 fixes in the works still too. I'm still looking for contributions and issue reports to http://github.com/beagleboard/bone101 to get appropriate documentation in-the-box. A live-running copy is at http://beagleboard.github.io if people want to review it there. Many broken links from there to be fixed due to a change in the root path that needs to be handled. Also, I'm getting asked a lot about eth0. Is it supposed to be commented out of /etc/network/interfaces and configured with wicd? Will it come up automatically? Correct, it's disabled in [/etc/network/interfaces] so wicd will configure it automatically (with any sane router/dhcp server) on bootup (wicd seems to take a good 5-15 seconds to get a valid ip address over dhcp, conman is slightly faster). You can see the ethernet driver taking it's sweet time over dmesg: [ 29.139188] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 29.142439] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 29.142650] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 29.147705] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 29.164068] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 32.222827] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full [ 32.222962] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 34.697540] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 34.699719] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 34.699817] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 34.705082] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 34.715656] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 35.108521] net eth0: initializing cpsw version 1.12 (0) [ 35.110713] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 35.110812] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 35.116039] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 [ 35.126630] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 37.102955] libphy: 4a101000.mdio:00 - Link is Up - 100/Full [ 37.103082] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready However, if we enable it in [/etc/network/interfaces], the serial login prompt will not show up till after eth0 gets a valid ip or the 2 minute dhcp time out.

Robert, I did this update and then undid the workaround (i.e. I uncommented the display-setup-script line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf). Now I no longer get the calibration screen on startup and logout of LXDE, however I lose my mouse pointer when I logout. The mouse pointer works on reboot, but if I logout of LXDE I have no visible pointer on the login screen or in LXDE after I log back in. The mouse does work and I can see where it is because some items like the LXDE menu icons highlight when I hover the mouse over them, but there is no onscreen pointer visible. Clicking the mouse buttons work as expected when I can figure out where it is pointing. Is there anything else I can do to help pinpoint the problem? Previously we were making the mouse pointer viable by a custom xorg.conf. However it works better if you add it via xset/xsetroot: root@beaglebone:~# cat /home/debian/.xsessionrc #!/bin/sh xset -dpms xset s off xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr and just remove the [Option SWCursor true] line from /etc/X11/xorg.conf So for me, right now the mouse cursor works between logout/logins.

One or more XML.. Start tag expected '' Not found Nothing happens after that. What is the fix? I've only seen this happen with one microSD card. (one that i've been flashing daily for 6 months or so) It seems to happen when either your usb-microsd adapter is failing or a bad microSD. First try recreating the microSD.

Re: [beagleboard] CPU speed and kernel builds

I've been trying to increase the speed of my BBB from the default 550MHz to 1GHz, and failing; this is with the elderly 3.8.13-37 sources. After a few failures I went back to a seriously ancient kernel, just to get something to run, and found that the 3.8.13-bone22 sources boot and run at 1GHz using the performance governor with no problems. I then found that there are a set of patches for _3.12_ on a Fedora mailing list which add cpu speed setting, which implies that 3.8 can't set the speed.

It couldn't handle my standard NFS boot either. Most of the kernel problems have to be configuration issues, but after a couple of days of checking I can't find anything missing from the USB/SCSI setup. So does anyone have a kernel config file for 3.14, which enables most of the peripherals? I actually haven't tried that in awhile, might have broke something.

Re: [beagleboard] How Flashing Now Works with Debian
On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 12:51 PM, Louis Thiery lo...@apitronics.com wrote: Hello, I'm trying to leverage the flashing process included in the new Debian images to move my own distribution over but I'm confused on the current mechanics. I did find this page: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Updating_The_Software but perhaps that explains how flashing used to work with Angstrom? I wasn't able to see the same architecture happening over on the new Debian images which works in 15 minutes instead of 45 minutes. yeah, totally different. Angstrom extracted a tar.gz into the new eMMC. Whereas i'm just using rsync to sync microSD - eMMC. I did find /opt/scripts/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh but I'm not particularly sure of the mechanics. It seems to me that when the boot button is pressed, the BBB mounts and boots from the eMMC-flasher partition. Somehow this script is executed (I couldn't find the relevant systemd process) and it copies over everything on that same partition over to the eMMC and then powers off. It's actually a classic init script. systemd runs it just fine. You can view it here: https://github.com/beagleboard/image-builder/blob/master/target/init_scripts/generic-debian.sh It's stored here: /etc/init.d/boot_scripts.sh This script takes care of a few generic tasks, setting the clock, regenerating ssh keys, before calling a board specific script. (referenced from /boot/uboot/SOC.sh) This is the board specific script: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh It's stored here: /opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh It takes care of flashing blank eeprom, getting the mac address, setting up the gadget drivers, enablng the local dhcp server, calling the flasher.sh script, and finishing the microSD resize when needed. Next time, I boot from the eMMC, how does the script knows to not execute, seeing as it can't really copy the eMMC to the eMMC... How does all this work? That depends: If the flasher microSD is still installed, it WILL flash the eMMC again.. If you re-add the trigger file: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh#L110 It will attempt the flash the other media.. If you look closely, the flasher script doesn't care if it's microSD or eMMC, it's designed to flash the other media: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/beaglebone-black-eMMC-flasher.sh#L39 Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] Trying to make flash install of my customized Beaglebone Black
On Mon, Mar 24, 2014 at 2:07 PM, RT Mistler rtmist...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm trying to take the contents of flash that I have working and make a copy of it for distribution. For instance, you can download a flash imager which will put the default release onto your MMC flash in it's entirety. I can do that, but then I have to customize to install or configure it to work the way I have chosen for multiple boards. If I could use that flash imager process but have the image it flashes be what I have now, this would be helpful. I do realize that I can use the dd command as well as connecting a uSD card via a card reader and copy my entire flash over to that uSD and then that uSD will work on another board. That's a lot slower performing, not my first preference. On the flipside of that, I'm fairly positive that I can NOT boot off of a uSD and then use dd to copy to my MMC flash; maybe I'm wrong there. That would be a good interim solution, but ultimately I think it would be helpful if I could somehow create a flash image where the flasher would just burn my default disk as my starting point for each board, this way an installer person could perform these actions and get repeatable results on multiple boards. Anyone have any thoughts or know of a set of instructions that might be helpful? Believe me I've searched a bit, maybe just used the incorrect terms, I haven't found anything except the instructions about how to download the default flash image and burn that. Well, if your using the newer Debian images hosted here: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images There's a little gem, under /opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/*.sh to do what you want.

P.S. thanks for your tools/scripts, the whole process works like a charm :) So before you build, you can actually test.. cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh --beta-kernel For capes, if you need ttyO1 this the way v3.13.x is setup: with: 2014-03-04 cd /boot/uboot/dtbs/ cp am335x-boneblack.dtb am335x-boneblack-bak.dtb cp am335x-boneblack-ttyO1.dtb am335x-boneblack.dtb with: 2014-03-19 Edit: /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt set: CAPE=ttyO1 Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

It just so happens that I have the same monitor described at http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_HDMI I loaded the image https://rcn-ee.net/deb/microsd/wheezy/bbxm-debian-7.4-2014-03-27-2gb.img.xz on my BBB When the HDMI output of the BBB is connected to the HDMI input on the monitor all goes well until the X desktop is started. As soon as X is started the monitor goes into power-save mode. Press cntl-alt F1 to get to a non-gui login and the display turns on. Switch back to F7 and the monitor goes into power-save. You can disable power save via: echo #!/bin/sh ~/.xsessionrc echo ~/.xsessionrc echo xset -dpms ~/.xsessionrc echo xset s off ~/.xsessionrc If I use a HDMI to DVI adapter and use the DVI input on the U2410, the X desktop display is OK. I can even use xrandr to change resolution to 1280x1024 (dvi input) which works fine. I have deduced that when the BBB gets the EDID info from the monitor, it changes to a mode that the Dell U2410 does not like but only with the X desktop. Anyone have any ideas? I am hesitant to blame the LXDE X server for this but anything is possible.

Correct, hdmi audio is currently disabled with the v3.13.x patchset, so you'll get non-audio resolution options.

On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 8:46 PM, chris.j.d...@gmail.com wrote: 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 SD/MMC found on device 0 reading uEnv.txt 1204 bytes read in 3 ms (391.6 KiB/s) Loaded environment from uEnv.txt Importing environment from mmc ...

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 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..

ubuntu@ubuntu-armhf:~$ cat /sys/devices/bone_capemgr*/slots
1: 55:PF---
2: 56:PF---
3: 57:PF---
4: ff:P-O-L Bone-LT-eMMC-2G,00A0,Texas Instrument,BB-BONE-EMMC-2G
5: ff:P-O-- Bone-Black-HDMI,00A0,Texas Instrument,BB-BONELT-HDMI
So this doesn't appear to work.
Is it correctly passed to the kernel? verify with:
cat /proc/cmdline

Re: [beagleboard] USB mass storage on BeagleBone shown as mass storage under Windows

Hi,
I have a normal white BeagleBone with Debian and I'm trying to show a USB
mass storage, which is connected to the BB, as mass storage, if I connect
the BB to a PC.
At the moment, if I connect it to a PC, there is only a small part of the BB
shown as mass storage (/boot/uboot/). This part has only about 80 mb. My aim
is to show a on the BB mounted USB mass storage on the PC.
I already managed to mount the USB device on the BB, than mount an image on
the device an show this image under a linux distribution. If I do the same
with a windows PC, it fails to install the drivers and nothing is shown.
And there is another problem: I don't have admin rights so I'm not allowed
to install any software or drivers because it's a PC from my company. On the
BB I could do everything.
Can somebody please help me or give some advice?
The partition shown over the usb interface is defined in:
/opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh#L71
file=${gadget_partition}
So if you want to pass a usb flash drive, use: file=/dev/sda1

Re: [beagleboard] BBB Debian compile problem
On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 11:39 AM, Doug d...@crompton.com wrote: Running Beagle Black with latest Debian release. I am trying to compile a couple of programs against kernel source and I am having a problem. I used the bb-get-rcn-kernel-source.sh script to download the kernel headers, source and apply patches. The kernel is linux-3.8.13-bone43 which matches uname -r = 3.8.13-bone43. This all goes well. I am compiling dahdi 2.9.1.1 and asterisk. Patches are applied successfully to dahdi before compile and the asterisk is custom. For this reason neither package can be download as a binary package they must be compiled from source. The compilations and installs go fine except in the case of dahdi it put the modules in /lib/modules/3.8.13 and not 3.8.13-bone43. where the rest of the kernel modules are. Dahdi does not work unless I move the modules to /lib/modules/3.8.13-bone43.and then do a depmod -a 3.8.13-bone43. OK so far so good. Asterisk compiles and installs fine. When I run it crashes usually within about a half hour. Up until it crashes the application seems to work. All tests I have done show no messages and memory checks show nothing strange before the crash. The crash is immediate. It just stops working and heartbeat LED stops. I have been pulling my hair out as to what this is. This package does work. I have it working on the RPi and a Debian PC. Lets see, serial console dead, no ethernet, led's stop... That sounds similar to the gtk2 lockup bug. http://bugs.elinux.org/issues/49 I'm waiting for a reply from the ti hardware guys.. My questions is this, does using the bb-get-rcn-kernel-source.sh script accurately prepare the source and headers to match the current system? If so why does the dahdi compile insist on putting the modules in 3.8.13 leaving the -bone43 off? Could this be a potential problem indicating I am not matching the running kernel in my compiles? I am trying to look at all possibilities. add: LOCALVERSION=-bone43 to the make call, it's not set in the Makefile so it won't get picked up automatically. Perhaps I should compile the kernel from the source I have downloaded, install it and then recompile against that. Is there a written procedure for installing a compiled Debian kernel on the BBB? Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Bad Linux ARM zImage magic
On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:22 AM, mac...@msn.com wrote: Hi All, Here's my latest update regarding building a 3.13.9-bone9 bootable image. Again, I want to thank Robert Nelson, Jason Kridner and everyone that has contributed to the BBB/Debian effort. This was a big improvement for me. I did get Debian 3.13.9 running last night. I am trying to integrate devices with the BBB and it was recommended that in order to complete the integration I should perform the build and upgrade. But first I needed to put together the cross compiler development platform. I didn't didn't have one other than Windows 7, Eclipse, GNU toolchain and Putty. I went the dual boot route by adding Ubuntu to may second SSD. As mentioned above I tried to perform the steps outlined in this link http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone . The difficulties I had are documented earlier in this thread. Those issues were part of my learning curve and having the correct packages loaded in the correct directory structure. I own those issues. Well hat's the wrong page for the BBB and hence why the uEnv.txt did not work.. For the BeagleBone black use: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black Not sure how much clearer i can make it..: http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone#BeagleBone-uEnv.txtbasedbootscript Quote: This will not work on the BeagleBone Black with the default firmware in eMMC: for that device use: BeagleBone Black However, in those instructions there are patches applied to u-boot. After the patch, many environmental variables are set in AM335x_evm.h. Some of those variables are load addresses for zImage. Other variables are defined/set in uEnv.txt. This was important all day yesterday because u-boot wouldn't load the zImage or fdtload. It can become confusing trying to understand the uImage/zImage concept when you go back and forth between the code and running uboot. BTW, none of this troubleshooting would have been possible without at least a serial - USB converter and Putty running a serial connection. Need to learn u-boot as part of the process as well. Using printenv and comparing the environmental variables to the values defined/set in the u-boot patch (AM335x_evm.h) was insightful. So, to finish the build discussion, I ended up using ./build_kernel.sh and ./install_kernel.sh. I think ./install_kernel.sh is still a work in progress as can be determined by looking at the conditional code surrounding zImage. That's called making the script generic and supporting legacy platforms. PS the directions on the wiki never state to use the ./tools/install_kernel.sh script, that's cheating.. ;) But it works and the pesky edits and cp -v of fstab, inittab et. al. found in the '//eewiki.net/' are now included in the shell (build/install). Life is simpler for that. Butlet's go back to the patches referenced in the '//eewiki.net/' link that are applied to u-boot and also to uEnv.txt. In a nutshell, variables such as loadaddr are set in AM335x_emv.h if you apply the patch. Yet they appear to be changed in uboot when you compare the contents of the dump when you perform printenv. It was interesting because according to uboot quit with the unable to load zImage running from the uEnv.txt command file. Interesting because some of those variables aren't defined or set in uEnv.txt and are different than what was defined in the u-boot patch. What was more curious was the skeletal uEnv.txt command file from the wiki link. At the end of the day, here's how I got things to work. I booted my Win7 machine and copied the latest Debian build (v3.8) to one of my SD cards. I ran my BBB to check that it worked. Shutdown my BBB and removed the card. I rebooted my development platform out of Win7 and into Ubuntu. Placed the sdcard into a reader and compared the uEnv.txt file in the ~/linux-dev/deploy path against what was on the sdcard. Well, I almost fell out of my chair. I had a I wonder if moment and copied the uEnv.txt file from the sdcard (w/Debian v3.8) to my desktop and then swapped sdcards (w/Debian v3.13.9) and copied the much different uEnv.txt file from my desktop to the sdcard. After placing the sdcard into the BBB I started the BBB. Now everything booted correctly (Debian v3.13.9). I hope that someone benefits from my mistakes and my discoveries.

In Debian v3.13.9 I get the following- root@arm:/# dmesg |tail [ 1223.364177] usb 2-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using musb-hdrc [ 1276.911353] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.17 [ 1276.911471] NET: Registered protocol family 31 [ 1276.911482] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized [ 1276.911532] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized [ 1276.911549] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [ 1276.911578] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized [ 1276.944459] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3 [ 1276.944480] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast [ 1276.944530] Bluetooth: BNEP socket layer initialized root@arm:/# hcitool dev Devices: root@arm:/# [ 1349.186393] usb 2-1.1: device v0a5c p4502 is not supported [ 1349.396415] usb 2-1.2: device v0a5c p4503 is not supported [ 1349.606618] usb 2-1.3: device v0461 p4d75 is not supported That looks like you didn't copy the modules to the rootfs..

Under the root file system heading . . optargs=quiet init=/lib/systemd/systemd Yeah, i haven't documented the systemd stuff very well on those pages. Now I suspect I know what this is for and how to use it, but someone else may not. By the way your comments section of that site is completely terrible now days. Neither firefox, nor chrome on my system here could load your text editor. Just sat there loading indefinitely. Yeap, and every new comment, just makes those pages worse. That's why I moved the comments into their own pages about a year ago. The mysql server really struggles with them. I'm tempted to start purging old-outdated comments.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating a boot sd from an img file

It works and I can boot from the SD card, I've done this with both 16gb 32gb micro sd cards. First, I format the sd card so I have an empty card with a single partition of 16gb free. The problem is that after Win32DiskImager copies the img file to the card, I'm always left with an sd card that has only 70mb total space and only a few meg of available space. If I look at the sd card in Windows Computer Management, it shows the active partition of 71mb, another empty partition of 3.33gb and 12gb of unallocated space. Is there another tool besides Win32DiskImager or something else I can look at? in linux you can use a tool called gparted to expand the 2nd ext4 partition. Your windows machine doesn't understand what it's seeing.

When I boot the BBB with one of these cards I've created, Angstrom only sees a single 70mb partition, if it's just windows having the problem, shouldn't my BBB show the entire 16gb partition? It'll see a 70mb boot partition and a 3.7GB root partition. Use gparted to expand the 2nd 3.7GB root partition.

Re: [beagleboard] Not enough space when using Debian on eMMC
On Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 8:40 AM, breme...@gmail.com wrote: Hello there, I have recently installed the latest Debian image in the eMMC Flash memory. Everything works fine, apart from that i cant install any new packages because the system says that there is not enough space for it anymore. Is this image really supposed to fill all free memory and no new packages can be installed or is there anything i can do about it? Any help would be really aprichiated! Yes, once we add every package requested to be in the default image, there is not a lot of space left. (200 - 300Mb last i looked.) So.. remove what you don't need or use a big microSD card.
