Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
Hi, OK. I wanted to try it because the December version didn't seem to boot to full speed (without upgrading the kernel). I'll just revert back for now. With the March version: I found the pru_generic.bin in the posix directory rather than the xenomai directory. I modified the ini file to reflect that, and I was able to get Axis running... But then the whole system froze. After rebooting I could not run the LinuxCNC selector. Some file apparently got trashed. I re-wrote the disk and started over. So now it seems to be working just fine. It does seem to boot MUCH faster. The new web browser is much better. The desktop seems fine (I downloaded new desktop wallpaper instead of the black screen). If I find anything else, I'll let you know.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
Just to be clear, that image is *NOT* currently supported, I haven't even booted it on a BeagleBone. I was experimenting and Mark wanted to play with the image, so I threw it online. The build is a complete departure from previous builds, attempting to track the new official Debian release for the 'Bone created by Robert Nelson. I would be shocked if everything works out of the box, but if anyone wants to see where things are heading, this is the image to play with (LXDE desktop, chromium browser, etc). But it will probably be a couple weeks until I have time to iron the kinks out of the build process and get back to stable working images. A list of known issues would be *VERY* helpful, so make sure to doucment anything you run into on the wiki or at least email me.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
Jeff I was fiddling round with that image yesterday. And when i copied my special pru_generic_fall.bin into the directory for my gecko's i could not find the original. I mentioned it to charles and he said "it should be there" but i could not see it. I got that image working on my machine and it boots up really quick.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
I got it working. I updated the onboard Angstrom distribution on the eMMC and it fixed the problem of loading the uSD card with LinuxCNC. Windows OS instructions are here - look for "Update board with latest software" on this page: http://beagleboard.org/Getting+Started Unpacking the image file in Ubuntu 12.04 and then writing the card with DD worked fine as well. I used the Angstrom distribution for the BeagleBone Black on this page dated 2013-09-04. http://beagleboard.org/latest-images It took about 45 minutes for it to rewrite the onboard eMMC using the created "update card". I used a 4GB uSD Sandisk Class 4 I had on hand.

I found the procedure to update the BBB onboard eeprom. I'll do that and report back.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
I wrote the 4 GB image of the same date; 12/28/13 to a 8 GB uSD card with DD and I am getting exactly the same error. So both the uSD card created with the script and DD respond in exactly the same way. This looks like this may be isolated to the BBBs that I have? Perhaps I can update the firmware on the BBBs to get rid of this issue? Dave On 3/13/2014 3:35 PM, Michael Haberler wrote: > Am 13.03.2014 um 22:19 schrieb Dave Cole : > >> I have a total of 4 BBB's.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
I have a total of 4 BBB's. All 4 boards respond in the same way to the uSD card created with the script. These boards were purchased as one lot, last year. The script is pulling files in off the web, so perhaps some of those source files have changed? At the moment I'm writing the 12/28/13 image to a uSD card using DD. I think that using the uSD card slot is a better idea even if it is a little fragile. Why constrain ourselves to 2 GB? The last 8 Gig card I bought was $8.00 or $1.00 per GB.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
Michael Why would we need the developer enviroment on a running beaglebone/machinekit? Once it is running it can be left alone on the eMMc and boot off a big memory card for development. Or is it a case of when you have compiled linuxcnc,it will not run without the developer enviroment. I think as charles mentioned to me,What we need is a pre-built package from linuxcnc so it can just be installed through apt etc.without all the docs and manuals and other redundant stuff. I will be quite happy when i have it running right to lock it down,and only make a new image when substantial updates come along. The whole reason i switched from mach3 was to get away from computers breaking down in harsh workshop/garage enviroments every winter. The memory card image is the only weak link in what is a fantastic bit of kit. I now use it every day in a production enviroment and i am sure it will only get better.

It may also be the boot loader on a particular version BeagleBone. I haven't reproduced the problem here, so I'm not sure exactly what's going on.

Re: [Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
I have a few BBB boards here. I tried it on two different boards. Same identical results. The BBB uSD card slot is not very robust. It would not be difficult to damage it. I''ll try a third BBB and see if there is a difference. I've also tried it on two different uSD cards.

Yes, the latest kernels (-bone39 and later) have the dynamic frequency code compiled in, but the only thing enabled is the "performance" mode. So the processor will always run as fast as possible regardless of the boot loader setup, but won't dynamically change voltage/frequency operating points. Except for early in the boot sequence when the kernel switches itself to "fast" mode from whatever the boot-loader had configured. But that won't affect LinuxCNC operating latency. :) -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

CPU frequency scaling was disabled in the kernel configuration as recommended by the Xenomai folks. The problem is, that leaves the CPU frequency set by the boot loader with no way to change it. Different versions of the boot loader run the CPU at different frequencies. My boards would typically run at 500 or 750 MHz, but some run as slow as 350 MHz or so. I have since added back the frequency scaling support, but only compiled in the "performance" profile, so the CPU runs as fast as possible and stays there. The extra latency is caused by the CPU switching operating frequencies (which shuts *EVERYTHING* down for a few hundred uS or more while internal PLLs stabilize to their new frequencies), so this isn't an issue if you don't actually change operating frequencies on the fly. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Hi, Got it! Thanks. It is now at 990.68 MIPS with the newer kernel. If anyone else gives this a try, for some reason I had to un tar the dtbs file with a suffix tar -xzvf --no-same-owner without the --no-same-owner I was getting 'ownership' errors.

Those are safe to ignore.

Hi, Is there a set of instructions on how to upgrade? The MachineKit I have does show 363.67 MIPS with a cat /proc/cpuinfo I tried the instructions here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?XenomaiKernelPackages and got stuck.

If that doesn't work, you might try pressing the reset button a couple seconds after you apply power and holding it for a few seconds. I have occasionally had boards that didn't always properly see the Ethernet phy, and this seemed to help. Otherwise, you need at least an HDMI cable, and preferably a USB serial cable.

I still can't see the BBB on the network. On a power up or reset, the 3 lights next to the reset button sequence on one by one and the lights on the RJ45 jack flash briefly.

[Emc-users] Beagle Board Black startup
I'm trying to start up a BBB with Charles' uSD image. I don't have a micro HDMI cable yet, but one is on the way. I believe that DHCP is enabled by default? If that is the case I should be able to SSH to it immediately after it boots, is that correct? I can't see its address as it logs into my router, but the router I am using doesn't always accurate report the connections.
