Re: [beagleboard] Re: Does Angstrom use hard float ?

2013-10-30 Thread dlewin555
Interesting.Nevertheless,the only reference to the fp operation context 
switch cost I've found is related to the VFP which we don't use with the 
Sitara under Angstrom. 

For some eventual interested people : 


In addition to saving and restoring integer registers, the kernel may also 
 need to perform saving and restoring of VFP registers on a context switch. 
 To avoid wasting cycles, this is done only when an application actually 
 used VFP. As the VFP initialization code leaves VFP disabled, the first 
 time a thread actually tries to access the floating-point hardware, an 
 undefined exception occurs. The kernel function which handles this, sees 
 that VFP is disabled and that a new thread 
 wishes to use VFP. It saves the current VFP state and restores the state 
 for the new thread



Le mardi 29 octobre 2013 19:01:15 UTC+1, Dean Franks a écrit :

 I believe there is also an issue that using hard float makes context 
 switches much more expensive.  When hardfloat is in use, all the additional 
 registers (possibly including wide vector registers) have to be saved and 
 restore on every context switch regardless of whether the running 
 application is using floating point or not.  I have not looked at the 
 Sitara but some processors have hardware assistance for this context 
 switching that reduces the cost but with the exception of shadow register 
 sets used in hard RTOS systems there is always a memory bandwidth cost. 
  This context switching cost slows the entire system down.

 Our application is floating point arithmetic intensive so hard float is 
 the better option, but I suspect there are many common workloads that do 
 better under softfloat.

  The computation may be done either by floating-point hardware or in

 Doing it in hardware is much faster, but many microcontrollers don't have 
 floating-point hardware like the Sitara here. In that case you may either 
 avoid using floating point (usually the best option) or rely on an 
 implementation in software, which will be part of the C library.

 In some families of controllers, for example ARM, the floating-point 
 hardware is present in some models of the family but not in others, so gcc 
 for these families supports both.

 Have you ever thought that softfloat could be used to be sure tobypass 
 the analysis of hardwired math (Neon type) unit for each ? this could be 
 done for historical reasons also: If I were about porting to a new board, 
 softfloat allows me to be sure that my board will accept it.

 Thanks dlewin555.

 I understand that it's possible to use hard float. Some Android or arm 
 Ubuntu version are using it.

 But for the default Angstrom (this the BeagleBone Black is delivered 
 with). How can we check the hard float is not used ?
 I guess I could rebuild Anstrong using hard float but I am wondering 
 why the default build doesn't use it ?

 I trust the Angstrom builder. It should have better knowledge than me. 
 So if he preferred not to use the hard float it should have a good 
 reason and I would like to know it.

 hard  enables GCC to generate code containing hardware floating-point

Re: [beagleboard] poll() on a pin returns constantly even though there is no input

2013-10-30 Thread Jack Mitchell
How are you counting your pulses? If you are firing interrupts faster
than you can service them then you will be missing interrupts. There are
only 2 ways to get faster interrupts on the beaglebone than what your
are doing now and that is by either writing a kernel driver, to avoid
the latency in the context switches, or by using the PRU.

 Hi Jack, 
 
 I apologize if my previous reply came across as rude. Let me be more
 humble and do proper homework before posting from now on :-) 
 I didn't have the time to work on this till now. You were right in
 pointing out usage of POLLPRI instead of POLLIN. I had tried both
 earlier and it did not work. Turns out it was because of the faulty pin
 (assuming here..pin stayed high always regardless of settings). I am
 using a different pin and POLLPRI and it is working fine.   
 Although I did not understand the part about the interrupts. I am
 keeping a counter to count the interrupt event and using function
 generator, I am feeding pulses to BBB. It is a bare minimum code to to
 just increment counter upon every rising edge detected. I set the number
 to 10,000 initiallly and it takes wall clock time of 0.22 seconds to
 detect 1 rising edges. I wasn't sure if the number was correct so I
 increased the frequency of the pulses to 40,000 and even then the wall
 clock time is around ~0.2-0.3 seconds. Why might this be? How to check
 what's the maximum number of edges which can be detected without losing
 any edges.

 Hi Sudhir,
 
 If you are not well versed in Linux and C then the speed of your own

 I imagine.
 
 Without looking seriously at your code there are two things I want
 to say.
 
 1) You should be using POLLPRI - look at my library for an example
 2) Poll does not introduce 150ms latency
 
 If you run the tests included with my libsoc library you will see
 that it can service 10,000 interrupts in a non-blocking context in
 roughly 3 seconds on a beaglebone white. That's per interrupt and
 simple ISR style routine. I would be suprised if you could get it
 much faster than that using standard read/write file techniques.
 
 If you really want to roll your own, and are still struggling then
 just base it off my library. That way you have a fully working
 example to compare your code with.

 Hi Jack, 

 Thanks for the help!. I looked at your library and it appears that
 you are using poll(2) as well which is similar to the example I am
 trying to use in the original post. 

 There are two things I want to mention
 1. Latency : I came across somewhere that poll() by itself
 introduces 150ms latency which is not good for the system I am
 building. (But I want it to work first) And you have mentioned
 that the library is optimized for reliability rather than speed. 
 2. Complexity : Interrupt capture is just a small part of the
 system I am building and I want the code to be as simple and
 little as possible. This Code
 https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/Gpio-int-test.c appears
 to be simple enough and does just the functionality. 

 Since you have built the library, Can you please just point out
 where in the code I might be going wrong? The problem might be
 trivial but I am missing something. I am using POLLIN and it
 continuously outputs GPIO 117 interrupt occurred even though I
 have not connected any signals to GPIO 117. More details/analysis
 done in the original post. 

 Thank you!

Hi all,

I'm a newbie with beagleboard and i need help for my project.
I would communicate with an IHM by the port COM , i have a little 
electronic card with a port COM connected to my beagleboard black by the

In first i would switch off and on a led on the IHM for beginning, for make 
light the led i work in C language i have see examples on this site but not 
really what i need than this example

And i go work with linux on the beagleboard.

So to summarize i would switch on led on an IHM with a program in C in the 
beagleboard black with the help of port COM and i dont no how make that.

under Angstrom as we are talking about *hardfloat *and *softfloat *, vfpv3

 Wow, way wrong...  Angstrom has always utilized the floating point unit 
 on these parts.  Even way before the armhf versions of ubuntu/debian and 
 fedora came out.  The only thing that hasn't changed yet, is to use the 
 same armhf linker those guys use (/lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3).

Yes this is a situation where all I need to do is capture and store a

next, etc.
After 30 iterations this loop will halt and the data will be processed

can be done
later

 Result is always the same.

 Then I found information in BBB-Wiki to delete/rename the MLO file on

 work.

 Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 Hi
 
 Alexander uses 3.8.13 kernel sources as per 8715.debug.txt
 http://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-
 files/791/8715.debug.txt  file he attached in TI forum.
Yeah, I've been monitoring his progress as well. He is still having issues,
but it looks like he is getting closer to getting something working. This
does look encouraging.

 To give you an idea of what we are dealing with, take a look at this:

 I try to copy the gpl bits from every sdk release, that a bunch of us
 can more easily patch the bits to later kernel releases's.
 
 In the case of the bone..  The 3.2 bits use the old frame buffer
 driver, and with 3.8/3.12 we are using the brand new and shiny kms
 driver..
 Hey Robert,
 
 Here is some interesting info given that [1] shows that SGX is working

You're correct, the internal clock is generated by onboard PLL. There

[beagleboard] Beagleboard XM IVA2.2 support in kernel 3.11

2013-10-30 Thread jernej . turnsek
Hi,

I am trying to enable IVA2.2 device in DM3730 on Beagleboard XM. I have 
patched 3.11.4 kernel in order to define CONFIG_OMAP_IOMMU_IVA2 in file 
omap_hwmod_3xxx_data.c. When I boot the kernel I am getting following 
message:

0020 (DMA)
[1.000793] omap-iommu: probe of omap-iommu.1 failed with error -16

What am I doing wrong? Help appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: [beagleboard] On BeagleBone, are the pins for the second Ethernet port available on the expansion header

 Darn.  I was thinking today that I would have a great application for a BBB

 mount a ceph block device over one ethernet interface and use the other for
 business traffic with no reason to hit the SD or on-board flash at all
 while it is running.  The primary bottleneck in the application I have been
 investigating so far is disk access.  Flash is slow.  Network storage is
 much faster.  Separating storage from traffic is even better, particularly
 when you have only a 100M interface.  I have been doing it with vlans but
 still, the two sorts of traffic compete for interface bandwidth.  If I found

[beagleboard] Using BB to measure power

2013-10-30 Thread jredrejo
I'd like to use my BeagleBone Black to build a small power efficiency 
station for my school. For that I plan to measure power consumption using a 
current transformer and a voltage transformer, feed the data into a small  
fast database and show it through a web interface to the school staff.
I see that 50 Hz are not a problem for BB ADCs, but I'm not sure at all 
using them is a good idea.
Intially I planned to use the same voltage I must measure to power the BB. 
I'm starting from a circuit like the attached one (replacing the UA78M33 by 
a UA7805CKCT which provides up to 1.5 A output)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Rh9IrbXEzAU/UnFV0UcdTSI/EAM/TduMV2A5CT4/s1600/adc.jpg

Changing the R1/R2 divisor I can make the 220V signal lower , but I'd 
always get a signal with a negative side (-0.9V - +0.9V) in the best case. 
Same for the current transformer, after applying its output to a 100 ohms 
resistor. So, first, is it an awful idea to use BB for this purpose? If 
not, how can I avoid the negative part of the signal before feeding the BB 
ADCs?

Thanks in advance

In this case I should better use the Android toolchain (even is less easy

Correct, as Angstrom doesn't have the new hard float linker..


 In this case I should better use the Android toolchain (even is less easy to
 use than the ubuntu packet) or does the ubuntu arm-linux-gnueabi toolchain
 is acceptable ?.

Actually just use Angstrom's sdk gcc, it's hardfp enabled, and matches
the libraries in Angstrom.

Like all nand based memory, I have a pile of MMC/microSD cards on my
desk that only lasted a few months. Maybe re-flashed 2-3 times a day
for that given time frame.

If it's been less then a 100 re-flashes, check everything as
'something' is failing during the flashing procedure. Power is usually
the #1 cause, but if you have something connected to the eMMC lines,
that could effect it to..

 Ahh, as you don't specify which image, that sounds like my 
 ubuntu/debian image. (please confirm which image you used...) 

 First make sure NO capes are installed.  You can leave the ethernet 
 plugged in but nothing else, not even the 'expansion' cape board.. 
 Make sure your using 5Volt DC power. 

 I only have one board that shows the same issue, but it was a very 
 very early pre-production one.. (The eMMC on that one had been 
 re-written way to many times..)

Cool, no way near that!

Okay, so I think I have narrowed down what just happened here!

I fdisk'd and formatted, well thought I did, the sd card.  But now I have 
come to realize depending on if a sd card is inserted at boot or not, 
changes the way mmcblk*'s are allocated. so my emmc actually got 
re-partitioned.  Yeah, I should have double checked things, but why is it 
re-arranging like this and not just standardized to the emmc always 
specifically being on a certain mmcblk?

So now, nothing will work.  I get so far with ANY distro, be it emmc 
flasher or an image made to run off of SD, bam, blinking led's.  dmesg 
reveals ifile errors.  I am stuck in a read-only rootfs and I cannot do 
anything to fix the emmc.

Hope some of this makes sense.

[beagleboard] web server over bluetooth?

2013-10-30 Thread chmedly
I'm scoping out a product idea for a device that would need to be 
controlled and monitored via Bluetooth with an android or IOS device. 
 Initially I expected to go the route of making separate apps for each 
platform but the latest suggestion I've gotten has led me to the idea of 
controlling and monitoring the device via a webpage served over a bluetooth 
connection. If I'm understanding things correctly, the BeagleBone Black 
might work well for this.  I'm looking for some wisdom on how this could be 
accomplished.

Well, we have used that procedure 82,000 times. So if you did it exactly as
I wrote it and it didn't work, then you have an issue that you can't fix.

 Okay, so I think I have narrowed down what just happened here!

 I fdisk'd and formatted, well thought I did, the sd card.  But now I
 have come to realize depending on if a sd card is inserted at boot or not,
 changes the way mmcblk*'s are allocated. so my emmc actually got
 re-partitioned.  Yeah, I should have double checked things, but why is it
 re-arranging like this and not just standardized to the emmc always
 specifically being on a certain mmcblk?

 So now, nothing will work.  I get so far with ANY distro, be it emmc
 flasher or an image made to run off of SD, bam, blinking led's.  dmesg
 reveals ifile errors.  I am stuck in a read-only rootfs and I cannot do
 anything to fix the emmc.

 Hope some of this makes sense.

Is that an exact number, or are you just being a dick?

It's fixed now... not by your wiki basics.

Peace.

 Hi,

 I'm developing an gstreamer application on BeagleBoard XM needs to use

 My OS version is built at

  of
 http://www.angstrom-**distribution.org/building-**angstromhttp://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstromor
  demo images due to this version has gstreamer-ti  dsp drivers as
 default.

 So I decided to  build gstreamer  all plugins ( especially,
 gst-plugins-bad) from source.

 First method, I find version of these packages and got its source code
 and dependents, then build all of it as on PC. But The OS version lacks
 many necessary utilities, and I was unsuccessful.

 Second method, I built all of it use Openembedded Classic but most of
 links was out of date.

 My PC is running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and my BBXM is running:
 ==**=
 Distributor ID: Angstrom
 Description:Angstrom GNU/Linux v2011.08 (foo)
 Release:v2011.08
 Codename:   foo
 ==**=

  So, Could you please give some ideas?
 Thank you so much!
