Re: [beagleboard] can we use XIP(Execute in place) method to execute 3.8.13-bone-xx kernel from NAND flash of BBB?
Hi, Using XIP requires easily addressable memory like NOR flash memory. XIP is not compatible with paged memory types like NAND/eMMC. Even if you had NOR memory there you might hit performance issues later on the system as usually NOR interface is slower than DDR SDRAM interface. With that being said you might want to have another look at page: http://www.elinux.org/Boot_Time In addition to that being written on that page you might want to verify that boot loader configures CPU/DDR/eMMC to optimal speeds as those all affect generic kernel loading speed. Then you probably want to take everything unnecessary out of the kernel eg. modify the kernel (might not be an option for you if you want to stick with Ubuntu kernel).

So I am thinking to use Execute In Place method to load kernel. With XIP we can run kernel out of flash instead of bringing into RAM. But I am newbie so I dont know how to do this. If anybody had done this before , please help me to do this. First thing I want to know, whether it is possible or not?? Please help me to speed up booting time. All suggestions welcome.

[beagleboard] Enable Cape via SYS_RESETn?
Hi, just to verify some things before I order design of my capes: according to http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Expansion_Header_Usage it is not allowed to have an input signal on any of the GPIO-pins during power-up or during boot. Resulting from that I think about using SYS_RESETn as signal to enable my capes. So my question: - which current can be pulled out ot SYS_RESETn / how much GPIO-inputs can I drive with this signal? - when SYS_RESETn is HIGH the GPIOs may not be programmed as input (because firmware is not fully started at this point) but the Cape-hardware possibly sets an input signal to them (because SYS_RESETn already enabled it). Is this a problem? Can I use SYS_RESETn to enable input signals too or should I use an additional GPIO as output which enables such signals much later than SYS_RESETn would do that?

What is the 'new' standard distribution for the BBB going to be now? Us LCD CAPE users are having a hard time getting touch working reliably for a wide range of LCD Capes on the market. I know most of us don't know enough to fix problems ourselves or know what the problem is actually caused by, and we don't know if anyone is working on these issues or if they are being ignored or pass over, or if 'the people' who do know what is going on just don't have time to look at them etc? Starting to really dislike this whole 'open' community based thing especially when there are issues and no one wants to own them. These issues have been reported for many months, and we are no further ahead. Does anyone know of anyone who is working on the LCD CAPE touch issue which is a problem on Angstrom (and maybe others which use the same driver/source?)

[beagleboard] Angstrom Toolchain (32-bit) and Qt 5.2.x
I finally got the toolchain built with Qt for Angstrom for my 32bit Fedora 20 laptop.

I then copied the executable to the BBB and tried to execute it a received an error stating that the executable could not be located. I checked permissions and it had execute permissions. I then tried the ./ or dot-slash in front of the executable and receive the same error. I then realized the BBB does not come with Qt support installed so I tried the command opkg install qt4-base and was given the statement that not all of the dependencies could be resolved and that I should use the --force-depends flag to force the install.

I want to build Qt v5.2.x for the toolchain and for the BBB. I have an idea as to how to build for the BBB but no idea as to how I might build and integrate Qt v5.2.x into the toolchain.

Re: [beagleboard] Powering Beaglebone black through VDD_5V
Actually, VDD_5V is raw 5V power, connected directly to the DC power jack. It is absolutely possible to power the BeagleBoard this way, and I have several capes that do so and work just fine (the BeBoPr and K9) powering the 'Bone via VDD_5V. The LED behavior likely indicates something is going wrong with booting the operating system. The easiest way to debug these issues is with a serial port cable, so you can see what's happening. As a guess, you may be tying some other pins (specifically the LCD_DATA lines) to circuitry and messing up the AM335x boot process. By changing the values on these signals at reset, you can determine if the CPU should boot from eMMC flash, SD card, ethernet, USB, serial, etc., so messing this up can easily result in a system that won't boot.

I’m not sure you can get SGX running on the Angstrom V3.8 kernel, but I understand that the Yocto V3.8 kernel can be patched to run SGX: http://e2e.ti.com/support/arm/sitara_arm/f/791/t/298596.aspx?pi239031349=1 Look for the patches from Andreas. I worked with Robert Nelson to get SGX working on his V3.12 kernel and I have QT5.1.1 working on his Debian distribution. I explained the steps in a previous posting.

Re: [beagleboard] Powering Beaglebone black through VDD_5V
No worries...you're actually correct if we were talking about SYS_5V (on P9 pins 7 and 8) instead of VDD_5V (P9 pins 5 and 6). The SRM section you reference is a bit confusing, as it talks about drawing power from that rail and not powering the board with it. I almost always fall back to the schematic as the primary source for how things work, and there's other sections in the SRM (6.1.2, page 42 and 8.6.2, page 110/111) that talk about powering the board with 5V via the expansion connector.

Respectfully, Dan Metcalf On Dec 23, 2013 7:27 PM, Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net wrote: Actually, VDD_5V is raw 5V power, connected directly to the DC power jack. It is absolutely possible to power the BeagleBoard this way, and I have several capes that do so and work just fine (the BeBoPr and K9) powering the 'Bone via VDD_5V. The LED behavior likely indicates something is going wrong with booting the operating system. The easiest way to debug these issues is with a serial port cable, so you can see what's happening. As a guess, you may be tying some other pins (specifically the LCD_DATA lines) to circuitry and messing up the AM335x boot process. By changing the values on these signals at reset, you can determine if the CPU should boot from eMMC flash, SD card, ethernet, USB, serial, etc., so messing this up can easily result in a system that won't boot. Double-check the LCD_DATA lines, and get a serial debug cable so you can see what's going on. On 12/23/2013 3:05 PM, Daniel Metcalf wrote: I am not sure you can power it that way. I am a newbie to beaglebone black but checkout page 110 of 124. Pin 5 of J9 is VDD_5V which is described as the following: *VDD_5V *is the main power supply from the DC input jack. This voltage is not present when the board is powered via USB. The amount of current supplied by this rail is dependent upon the amount of current available. Based on the board design, this rail is limited to 1A per pin from the main board. I believe it is an output from a regulator.

Re: [beagleboard] Angstrom Abandoned for BBB? Rumor + a Rant
Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes I have tried contacting the manufacturers however one is a hardware only provider (4D) for the Capes (they fully support their other stuff), and the other one (CircuitCo) which 4D Cares are based on according to their datasheet, doesn't seem to support software and points us here, or simply doesn't reply to emails. I'm not the first person to mention this about CircuitCo by the way. At least 4D do reply and tried to help, but they cant support the software. Sorry if I sounded demanding, just frustrated more than anything. Fully understand the community is made up of people who do this for no money etc, however who is actually responsible for open source software, I dont know. No one person I assume, and therefore no place for me to find answers? This is the only place I know to raise it. In terms of fixing stuff myself. I wouldnt know where to start. I purchased the hardware thinking/hoping that the standard software provided would work correctly. In most cases it is fine, but when dealing with a touch screen that doesnt touch due to software, its kinda frustrating. That said it works fine on Android so it proves the hardware is OK, so CircuitCo and 4D get off the hook in that respect as the hardware is fine, its just the software seems to need some improvements. I guess all I wanted to hear was what you said, that things are being looked at by someone, and their should be fixes coming out soon. Question though, where does the average Joe Bloggs who came in to the BBB from nothing, has no idea about linux and how everything works, find out what is being worked on so a silly Joe Bloggs like me doesnt make a rant post to try and figure out where they stand...? So is Angstrom Dead, or is that rumor false? This new 3.12 you mention, I assume that is the kernel. Is a new Angstrom being built based on that? I believe Debian, Ubuntu and Angstrom, no doubt more, have the same touch issues, which is I gather based on the kernel having a problem (3.8?). I'm a linux noob if you haven't guessed.
