Re: [beagleboard] conflict with "cape-bone-iio" overlay and simple pinmux overlay?

2014-02-21 Thread Chris Falk
Wow, that was totally it!!  Changed the helper name and now both overlays 
are working together.  Ugh, this one had me tearing my hair out for a 
while..  Wish there was a debug/error print or something in dmesg to make 
it more obvious..  Hey thanks so much for your help Jason!

 to change the direction of various gpio pins.  Although they both work 
 on their own, it seems that there is a problem when loaded together.  The 
 first overlay always works, and the second *seems* to load just fine, but 
 does not take effect..

I have to say, I don't like this on by default. It drove my robot crazy!
Driving pins without detection seems like an overall BAD(tm) idea.

My first guess is it is the name 'helper' that is in conflict with names in
the other part of the device tree. Try renaming 'helper' to 'my_pin_helper'
or something fun like that. Just a shot in the dark, but I've run into a
similar sort of problem before.

 Hello, 

 I booted my BeagleBone Black A5B with Raring Ubuntu 13.04. I used the 
 image from:

 http://rcn-ee.net/deb/rootfs/raring/ubuntu-13.04-console-armhf-2013-07-22.tar.xz

 I followed the steps from the elinux.org using the sd_setup script. Then I 
 was able to install OpenCV, OpenNI,and PrimeSense Kinect Driver.
 When I plugged in the Kinect, the board did not read it and the Kinect did 
 not power on. I tried *lsusb *and it was not reading the Kinect. 

 Then *dmesg | tail* gave me the following : 
 *[ 5981.901031]  gadget: sending command-failure status*


 After this I tried to connect my logitech webcam. The board did not read 
 as well, so then I rebooted the board with with the camera plugged in the 

 usb port. Once it booted the camera was recognized. I then tried the same 
 with the Kinect, but it still did not turn on the Kinect camera. After 
 that I 
 tried using a USB splitter, more specifically a "Media-To-Go.com 7-in-1 
 Card Reader with USB HUB". In order the USB Hub to work, I had to reboot 
 with it plugged in, 

 I then connected the Kinect to this and it turned on. Also *lsusb *showed 
 the Kinect was working. So I tried running an OpenNI sample program but it 
 would fail saying the Kinect was not connected.

 So is there something wrong with my USB port? My driver? Also do I need to 
 reboot the board with a device plugged in for it to read it?

 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced!

Can you say which parts are the bottleneck?

Your experience spinning up this amazing operation is quite unique and
it would be a great resource to other budding entrepreneurs if you
would write your story.  Others could definitely learn from where the
difficulties were and how you resolved them, especially if you didn't
expect them to be hard beforehand.

Re: [beagleboard] Failed angstrom build

2014-02-21 Thread Artie Lekstutis
Have you tried the directions on http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/? 
That worked fine for me the last time I ran it in a VirtualBox VM 
running Ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bits.


I've had trouble with some of what Derek Molloy documented, especially 
after the referenced toolchain was removed from angstrom-distribution.org

Re: [beagleboard] conflict with "cape-bone-iio" overlay and simple pinmux overlay?

2014-02-21 Thread cfalk3
Hi Jason,

Yes, I was using Derek Molloy's DTS file as a template.  The only 
difference is that I edited it for the following

0x198 0x37  /* P9_30 102 OUTPUT MODE7 */

I posted the relevant dmesg output in my first post.  I wasn't sure how to 
attach a file to this thread...

Guy:
  I did look at both DTS files and as far as I could tell there is not a 
conflict with pins.  I also tried assigning other GPIO pins values, and 
those did not take effect either.

Re: [beagleboard] conflict with "cape-bone-iio" overlay and simple pinmux overlay?

2014-02-21 Thread Guy Grotke
They probably have a collision on one or more pins.  Have you looked at their 
respective .dts files to see if there is a conflict?  Try assigning pins to one 
or the other.
My (very limited) experience with the cape manager leads me to believe it is 
not very good about giving you informative messages when there is a conflict or 
defective .dtbo file.

Subject: [beagleboard] conflict with "cape-bone-iio" overlay and simple pinmux 
overlay?

Hello,

I am trying to use both the "cape-bone-iio" device tree overlay for analog 
input, and a simple pin-muxing overlay (see attached DTS file) to change the 
direction of various gpio pins.  Although they both work on their own, it seems 
that there is a problem when loaded together.  The first overlay always works, 
and the second *seems* to load just fine, but does not take effect..

[beagleboard] conflict with "cape-bone-iio" overlay and simple pinmux overlay?

2014-02-21 Thread cfalk3
Hello,

I am trying to use both the "cape-bone-iio" device tree overlay for analog 
input, and a simple pin-muxing overlay (see attached DTS file) to change 
the direction of various gpio pins.  Although they both work on their own, 
it seems that there is a problem when loaded together.  The first overlay 
always works, and the second *seems* to load just fine, but does not take 
effect..

*Example 1 (first load cape-bone-iio, then DM-GPIO-Test)*

No idea if you've tried it or not, but there's a kernel driver here
https://gitorious.org/dht22-driver/dht22-driver/source/6e32bfc31de1e96c550b7678474ddcfa6f61336e:

There are a number of humidity sensors supported directly by the kernel
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/sht15.c
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/sht21.c
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/hwmon/hih6130.c

Using one of those would provide you with a tested and working solution.

It all depends though, what do you want to get from the experience?  Do you 
simply want it to work, or do you want to learn how to get it working yourself?

Re: [beagleboard] dht22 Temp/RH Sensor on BBB

2014-02-21 Thread Eric Palmer
The datasheet shows how the am2302 works. It is a 1 wire device which
actually can be pretty easy to program. I did some of this with dallas
sensors on an arduino a long time ago. (dallas uses a different format).

Any language that can access the gpio ports on the BBB can be used.  My
preference for applications that are not time critical is python because C
gives me hives.  (okay just kidding, I just like python for easy stuff).

Adafruit has a tutorial for raspberry pi in python. You should be able to
adapt it easily to the BBB.

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

2014-02-21 Thread George Erhart
Thanks for the tip ... they are only charging a $4.99 premium on the BBB 
and as of a few minutes ago, claimed they were in stock. So, I ordered one 
and it is suppose to ship on Monday (2/24). So, we will see. I had a 
backorder with Sparkfun, but their expected date slipped from 2/19 to 4/5 
... so I cancelled the order.

[beagleboard] problem with sending float type data serially using c++

2014-02-21 Thread kyle
You may be better off in the long run coding this to convert the value to 
string data, transmit the string and convert back on the other end.   No reason 
you can't send binary jibberish over the wire but debugging that later on can 
be a real bear.   If you have tons of floats to send with huge values then 
maybe it's worth it to send the binary data instead.

WHAT are you saying ? It's to the Cap builder to do something !!!


PLUS, if you want something to work in the open source, you have to do it
yourself, that the price of open source !

I wanted the RS485 CAP work and I had Zero knowledge in Linux Kernel, It
took me 2 month to understand how to make it Happen.

I wanted to fix the issue with the LCD ( Jitter Problem) => I just needed
to find out where was the driver source => I fixed it !

[beagleboard] problem with sending float type data serially using c++

2014-02-21 Thread kyle
A float is just 4 bytes of binary data that is coded to show the decimal point 
position and the number before and after the point.  The trick is that you have 
to tell the C++ compiler that you are not making a stupid mistake and really do 
want to treat the float as an array of bytes:

void send_float (float f)
{
  // Cast float to a pointer to bytes - Tells C++ you really mean to do that.
  byte* bytes = (byte*)&f; 

  // write the data to the serial
  Serial.write (bytes, sizeof(f));
}

 Dave,
 Gerald,
 
 From my experience with product fulfillment: a good plan would establish a 
 target date when the product would be broadly available in the market with 
 only occasional shortages.   A key to this is to show back orders as a % 
 of weekly production, and whether back orders are reducing or increasing 
 as we fulfill back orders and receive new orders each week.  There would 
 be a weekly review of whether the target date is likely to be met, 
 production plan and any changes, and a new date, if needed.  Sudden orders 
 and other unexpected situations are common in all kinds of fulfillment 
 situations and there are lots of good systems to deal with this.
 
 I am happy to volunteer to do weekly analytics.
 
 elinux.org only shows monthly shipments, with little clue around demand 
 and back order situation.  It is nice to know that "circuitco is in full 
 production" but we need to provide lots more facts.

Expedite fees? Well we used to do that on the earlier boards. But there is
zero buffer on these boards. The idea of loosing say $700,000 is not
something that makes a lot of sense. Having deals and POs in
place with distributors and then telling them, Oh sorry, you have to pay
more is tough.

I am thinking of maybe taking the price to say $75 in the future.

[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black: Boot from USB or serial

2014-02-21 Thread terry . barnaby47
We are developing a board based on the TI AM3358 processor and we are using 
the Beaglebone Black as a development test platform prior to the real 
hardware becoming available.
Our system will have eMMC memory but no microSD card so we intend to do a 
boot/install via the USB or serial port.
We are testing this out using the Beaglebone Black but it is not working.
We can boot our own Linux from the microSD card by powering up with the S2 
boot button pressed fine.
However if we power up (via a USB-B cable) without a microSD card and the 
S2 boot button pressed the BBB does not seem to try and boot via the USB or 
serial.
Our host is Linux and a "lsusb" shows no new devices (We were expecting an 
Ethernet gadget device). Minicom or a raw serial port program connected to 
UART0 shows no ASIC id (what ever that is) being sent.
Any ideas ?

[beagleboard] Beaglebone black: Boot from USB or serial

2014-02-21 Thread terry . barnaby47
We are designing a system based on the TI AM3358 processor and are using a 
Beaglebone black as a development board prior to getting the real hardware.
The real hardware will have eMMC memory but will not have a microSD card 
socket so for a bare metal boot/install we plan to use USB or serial.
We have been trying to do this with our Beaglebone black, but without 
success.
We can boot from our own Linux image on a microSD card by holding down the 
S2 button and powering up fine.
If we remove the microSD card and power up (via a mini USB-B cable plugged 
into the mini USB socket) with S2 pressed the system does not boot, as 
expected, but does not appear to try and boot via USB or serial.
We are using a Linux host system and the command "lsusb" shows no extra 
devices, we were expecting an Ethernet Gadget device. A minicom (or raw 
program) connection to the serial port (UART0) doesn't show any output, we 
were expecting an ASIC id (whatever that looks like).
Any idea why this is not working ?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: DHT-22 and Beaglebone

2014-02-21 Thread mharrisny1
Hi,

I am trying to use this code with an Adsong dht22 (am2302) temp/rh sensor 
running on the BBB.  I haven't used C for a number of years so I am kind of 
rusty.  What modifications did you make to compile it with g++ on the BBB? 
 How does portG map to the pinout on the BBB? Or what pin do I connect the 
data line to on the BBB?

Thanks!

The usual method of serial port communication used in linux may be used. If 
you search the internet for serial communication using c++ on linux you can 
get many code examples, its not difficult to implement serial communication 
in C++

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

2014-02-21 Thread anil . gupta778
Appreciate the figures of 700/day on supply and 140,000 on back orders (200 
days of supply.. phew!).

This is an awesome product. What you saw until October was just people 
trying it out.  They've concluded it is a good product and are ordering it 
in greater quantities.  That is where we are and I hear similar stories 
from others. An order build up of 140,000 in two months, even with supply 
of 700/day suggests an incoming demand of *3500+ per day.*  I believe you 
will see this kind of demand continue.  None of these buyers want to get 
into manufacturing--Circuitco is good at it.  It would be a shame to see a 
great product go sideways due to supply issues.

Given that the main constraint is lead time for some components: if 
sweeteners such as expedite fees can help, I think the community won't mind 
a higher price.. say $48 or $50, to ensure a demand-supply balance.

 Is there a way to see the order backlog with Circuitco and current

While this may be answer to the original poster's question, it is of no
relevance to my point which is that the Sitara processor encourages a 
different way of solving the real time problem by having PRUSS processors
in the SoC to do the real time bits independently of the main processor

Surely the point of the Beaglebone, or rather its processor, is that you
do not need to put the time critical bits on the main processor, you put
them in the PRUSS processors.

Well, my comment was meant to reflect that blanket comments such as these
are silly.

I've been tinkering with a Linux appliance of sorts using the BBB myself.
Granted, the BBB runs headless, and the UI is displayed / partially powered
by the client via Nodejs. This is also very fast.

A long, long time ago (with the original BeagleBone) I tried this, but 
ran into problems with the NIC driver. There's probably a reason it's 
not enabled by default! Feel free to try though, maybe some problems 
have been fixed since then.

I have tested Robert Nelsons kernel 3.8.13-r9

anybody give this a try? Does it work with the BBB?

[beagleboard] Adding splashscreen to u-boot.

2014-02-21 Thread Kishor Dhanawade
Hello,
I am using Beaglebone black with ubuntu-12.04(3.8.13). I observed 
that penguin logo appears on the screen which is after starting kernel i.e. 
this is kernel splashscreen. I want to add splashscreen during the start of 
u-boot(U-Boot 2014.01). Is it possible??  Has anyone done it for Beaglebone 
Black board?? Where to start ??
   Thanking you.

Regards,
kishor
