 Hi Micka,

 Would you be able to send me the driver you compiled with these changes?
 RobertCNelson's latest builds (-40) have ti_am335x_tsc.ko from last year.

 I tried the steps you provided last night, I got as far as compiling the
 kernel but the driver I made had invalid ELF data so I did not try loading
 it.

 Alternatively, the patch you have, which version of the ti_am335x_tsc.c driver
 is it meant to patch? there's been a lot of activity on ti_am335x_tsc.c.

[beagleboard] Is anything logged on power failure?

2014-03-13 Thread cl
I *think* my BBB is getting powered down becauae the 7805 chip I'm
using it needs a heatsink and is thus running just a bit too hot and
protecting itslef by turning off.

Is there any way to tell if this is happening from the BBB logs?  I
can't see anything obvious in syslog at all.

When it has turned off *all* the lights are off and I have to remove
the power and restore it to restart the BBB.  Does this suggest the
7805 is turning itself off?  (I'll check with a meter next time it
happens)

Re: [beagleboard] Is anything logged on power failure?

2014-03-13 Thread Gerald Coley
If you cut power, the processor turns off so it is hard for it to keep
running and print logs without power.

Hook a meter to the DC input and see if it turns off. If it does, the 7805
is shutting down. The best that can do is 500mA without a heat sink,.

[beagleboard] What's in a Beagle Bone other than the circuit diagram?

2014-03-13 Thread ranvilles69
Hi Beagle users,

A little about me before I explain my question. I'm an experienced 
electrical engineer with a heavy background in micro processor 
implementation and programming as well as PCB layout for high speed digital 
design. I'm fluent in C and C# and open to learning other languages. I am, 
however, totally new to SoC (and embedded Linux OS) concepts outside a 
basic knowledge of computer system architecture. I am currently at the 
stage of working out if the Beagle bone black is the correct starting point 
for me.

My interest in the Beagle Bone is for product development with a view to 
commercialization. This will require a re-design of the board architecture 
into my own PCB design and I am attracted to the BBB as it is fully open 
source and the processors are available commercially (unlike the RPI).

So, my question is. If I simply cloned and populated a PCB, matching the 
circuit diagram of the BBB and plugged an SD card in (with OS flashed on), 
would it work. Or is additional software required to be loaded onto the SoC 
device? If so, is this bios / boot loader available?

Additionally, if I develop a program to run on Rasbian. How easy would it 
be to port it onto a BBB OS (such as Debian)?

Tanks for any assistance you can offer.

Regards,
Sam Rhodes

If you copy it exactly and build it correctly it should work. People do
this all the time. I would expect SW to have to be added to support
whatever you put on the board to fit your application.

There is no SW loaded onto the SOC. All code for the SOC is loaded from an
external source, eMMC or SD in this case.

Everything is available, but there is a minor amount of content that
isn't in the schematic/pcb design files.  There is an EEPROM that
contains board ID information, and if you're using the standard
software, your board won't boot properly unless you load appropriate
contents into this EEPROM.  If you're not familiar with Linux on ARM,
the boot sequence is:

* SoC ROM contents
* MLO (Memory LOader), part of uBoot
* uBoot
* Linux kernel
* Normal linux boot

There is source available for everything you need, and you can modify
the uBoot loader if you want to leave off the EEPROM.

 Additionally, if I develop a program to run on Rasbian. How easy would it 
 be to port it onto a BBB OS (such as Debian)?

Assuming you're not doing anything really hardware specific, you should
be able to directly port code from Raspbian to Debian on the 'Bone or
most any other platform.  Anything accessing hardware drivers will need
to be reviewed for the new target.

[beagleboard] BBB Analog Digital Convertion error on Ubuntu

2014-03-13 Thread cagri yilmaz
Hi everybody.
I have been using Ubuntu 12.04 just Console and I set  
/sys/devices/ocp.2/helper.14/AIN1 den I got AIN1 inside the line as the mV 
measurement. I use 3.3V and Analog ground with PTC (positively change the 
resistor heat with respect) but sometimes I got max measurement such 1760 
mV. So is there something wrong with Ubuntu or what I did. What I did for 
init.d folder I added as a bash contains:
 if [ ! -d /sys/devices/ocp.2/helper.14 ]; then echo cape-bone-iio  
/sys/devices/bone_capemgr.9/slots; fi 
so it works... But I got miss conversion SOMETIMES (1 miss per 10 samples). 
I used for AIN1 (P9-40) connected a PTC with parallel 480 ohm resistor and 
P9-03 3.3V and P9_34 AGND. I did not used VADC P9-32 as reference. Is there 
anybody knows what I did wrong?

[beagleboard] Why beaglebone black restarts after a shutdown ??

2014-03-13 Thread meerutmicrotechnical
Hi,

I have noticed that the beaglebone black starts up after a shutdown.

I have a C++ program running in the bbb, the bbb is backed by an external 
+5V battery pack. When the C++ program issues the following command to 
start the shutdown procedure of the bbb.

system(shutdown -h now);

 exit(0);


This does shutdown the bbb completely sometimes, most times the bbb starts 
up again, the power led turns off but then after a second or two lights up 
again and then bbb starts up all over again (the output voltage from the 
power bank does not switch OFF, it remains ON for some time).

In my previous bbb systems I have not faced this problem.

It is my belief that the output voltage from the power bank has a sudden 
dip, this causes the bbb to detect a new power cycle.

I am not sure though if I am correct...

Could anyone enlighten me on this problem ???

I am sorry if the above problem sounds vague...

thanks
a

Yes it does sound vague. I would hook a scope to the power and see what it
does in the reset scenario. What is your current capacity of your power
source?

If the power pin is held down too long, it will result in a power cycle and
not a shutdown.

 Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report 
 any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org:
 http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases


On booting this new image I noticed a few issues immediately, but I'm not 
sure if one is by design. The ethernet interface is not setup in this 
image. Running ifconfig shows no IP address for the ethernet port.  

Looking at /etc/network/interfaces I see that the eth0 section is commented 
out.

I tried adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces but I still have no 
IP address assigned (as if dhcp wasn't aquirring an address). Commenting 
out the allow-hotplug line makes no difference.

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Shouldn't the ethernet interface be setup by default? How does one setup 
dhcp on Debian if not through the interfaces file?

Also, how is one supposed to use the Root Terminal in the LXDE environment? 
It won't accept the admin password for the debian user, and I don't know if 
there is a different root password?

Thanks.

The wicd deamon should setup eth0 within 30 seconds on 2nd boot.

If you uncomment out the eth0 interface in /etc/network/interfaces

 So : nowhere to buy + available schematics (I hope) = let's build it !

 Does anyone have any info that could help me getting started ?

You might be able to talk someone in to building a module for you, but it would 
have to be for your specific kernel, and you probably wouldn't be able to 
upgrade your kernel without having the module rebuilt.

[beagleboard] BBB with Angstrom using PWM Input from Ultraonic Sensor

2014-03-13 Thread jody . l . whitlock
Ok, so I have a project that started out using an Arduino Mega.  This 
project uses an Ultrasonic Sensor to give me distance measurement, and the 
sensor returns data over PWM.  So, I need this project to be web connected 
and have some data logging, and instead of having an Arduino cobbled with 
something else and writing custom code and such, I went with the BBB.  It's 
running the stock Angstrom (with opkg upgrade completed) and I am trying to 
figure out how to get this sensor to interface with the BBB.  preferably I 
would like to use the sensor as one would any GPIO by querying a file in 
the /sys tree, but the couple tutorials I have found have not worked and 
were for Ubuntu.  While I prefer Ubuntu, I have been told that Angstrom has 
built-in support for PWM and has all the PRU items and dts overlays in 
place to do what I want, I just can't figure it out for the life of me.

[beagleboard] BeagleBone Black BBB UART Tx doesn't work without booting with Ethernet plugged in

2014-03-13 Thread Aaron Felt
Hello all. The title just about says it all but here are details. I have a 
python script which uses a few UARTs and some GPIO. It uses the  Adafruit 
UART/BBIO/etc. libraries. It is run on startup using systemctrl services 
where I have it set as Type=idle in the service definition in order to 
force this script to run after all services are set up. This script works 
fine and my UART works great when I boot with Ethernet. If on the other 
hand I boot with no Ethernet plugged in as I intend to do, the program runs 
fine except for odd behavior on the UART. The rx of the UART works fine and 
my program receives and logs incoming bytes. But the Tx appears to be dead. 
It will not transmit. Python's PySerial write function returns that it 
wrote the amount of bytes it should have but nothing comes out the port. 
This happens 9 out 10 boots. The only perfect fix is to boot with ethernet 
plugged in. Any ideas?

When, eth0 is defined in /etc/network/interfaces, the login prompt

So by allowing the wicd/systemd deamon to take care of it, we get the

 starts up again, the power led turns off but then after a second or two 
 lights up again and then bbb starts up all over again (the output voltage 
 from the power bank does not switch OFF, it remains ON for some time).

 In my previous bbb systems I have not faced this problem.

 It is my belief that the output voltage from the power bank has a sudden 
 dip, this causes the bbb to detect a new power cycle.

 I am not sure though if I am correct...

 Could anyone enlighten me on this problem ???

 I am sorry if the above problem sounds vague...

 thanks

[beagleboard] [Yocto] Booting kernel in qemu, halts

2014-03-13 Thread kaczanowski . mateusz
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run beagleboard image in qemu. So I've built the kernel and 
rootfs via yocto.
But! Yocto generates zImage so I did:
MACHINE=beagleboard bitbake virtual/kernel
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n 
Linux kernel -d ./zImage uImage

and then I'm  running the sdcard with
qemu-system-arm -M beaglexm -drive if=sd,cache=writeback,file=/dev/sdb 
-clock unix -serial stdio

Booting halts and nothing happends, no login prompt.
I would appreciate *ANY* help, I'm really lame in that subject:/

That is my output:

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Touchscreen Jitter / Jumping on Beaglebone Black LCD Capes

2014-03-13 Thread Roop Singh
I love TSLIB, their modular approach and on the fly tweaking allowed me to get 
the touchscreen working really well Then I found that X11 no longer 
supports TSLIB :(


My option was hacking this driver (which you've done to an extent, thanks 
again) or downgrading all of X11 to be compatible with TSLIB again. Maybe 
that's a better option, I'm not sure.


Is calling tslib from the driver what you're suggesting Micha?

If you have an oscilloscope I'm sure that you can see this crazy noise ... . 
During my test i could saw the noise in the driver. 


I also discovered that the TI driver include a filter to the jitter issue =  
module dejitter delta=100  


I'm sure the jitter filter from TI is much better than mine .


 ... maybe it will be better to use the TI driver (TSLIB) than the default 
driver . .

  


Robert Nelson ? Any idea how to do it ? I found some tutorial, but in my last 
tried I didn't succeeded :

The jitter does not seem to be much better with this. Worse than the jitter is 
sometimes when I press and release, there is a much larger jump, say 50 pixels 
away from my finger. I see this with a 4.3 newhaven display. I have some 7

Hi Micka,


Would you be able to send me the driver you compiled with these changes? 
RobertCNelson's latest builds (-40) have ti_am335x_tsc.ko from last year.


I tried the steps you provided last night, I got as far as compiling the kernel 
but the driver I made had invalid ELF data so I did not try loading it.


Alternatively, the patch you have, which version of the ti_am335x_tsc.c driver 
is it meant to patch? there's been a lot of activity on ti_am335x_tsc.c.

I think UTC would be best, but there should be clear instructions for how 
to change it. 

Most users (like me) are not Linux experts and don't know how to do many of 
these basic things. I though /etc/timezone seemed like the perfect place to

 If you cut power, the processor turns off so it is hard for it to keep
 running and print logs without power.
 
Yes, I realise that, but I wondered if the power management chip 'saw
it coming' and did something while the capacitors discharge.


 Hook a meter to the DC input and see if it turns off. If it does, the 7805
 is shutting down. The best that can do is 500mA without a heat sink,.
 
I'm a bit tight for time (going home, leaving this BBB running on our
boat) so I've reduced the input voltage to the 7805 from raw battery
voltage which is about 14 volts down to 9 volts (which I need for
various other devices).  Thus the 7805 will be dissapating much less
power now - (4 x current) watts as opposed to (9 x current) watts.

I think UTC would be best, but there should be clear instructions for how to
change it.

Most users (like me) are not Linux experts and don't know how to do many of
these basic things. I though /etc/timezone seemed like the perfect place to
make this change, but it turns out that was wrong. Google led me to tzselect
which also looked promising, but again it was wrong.


So then, here's a question for you. Where do you want to see those
type of faq's listed?

I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where...


motd or the banner for ssh, together with an instruction to use rm to 
get rid of the message.


Listing those basic steps there would get rid of thousands question from 
people using broken, old and/or outdated instructions belonging to some 
broken/old and/or outdated images.

I don't know where they should be stored, but there should definitely be 
links on the beagleboard.org main page. It seems to me that if Debian is 
going to replace Angstrom, then a link to the Debian release images and 
FAQs should be put there. Eventually, the Angstrom info could be 
deprecated, or rather archived and its visibility reduced.

It seems to me that there are currently too many places to go to get the 
various linux distributions and kernels, and none of them seem to be 
officially sanctioned as the standard release. This leads to unnecessary 
confusion for new users. Some info on beagleboard.org, some info at 
circuitco.com, some info at elinux.org, some info at armhf.com, etc., not 
to mention all the other stuff at ti.com.

The official wiki 
at http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Software_Resources 
doesn't even mention this Debian releases (and it should if you want people 
to test it). The community wiki 
at http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Community#Debian does list a Debian 
release, but it is a different, and incompatible, arm EABI version from 
this new armhf release.

I appreciate all the hard work that people have done to prepare all this 
information, but it's a little like the wild west when you first start 
looking around.

I've been dumping the default username/password + the current ip

  If you cut power, the processor turns off so it is hard for it to keep
  running and print logs without power.
 
 Yes, I realise that, but I wondered if the power management chip 'saw
 it coming' and did something while the capacitors discharge.


  Hook a meter to the DC input and see if it turns off. If it does, the
 7805
  is shutting down. The best that can do is 500mA without a heat sink,.
 
 I'm a bit tight for time (going home, leaving this BBB running on our
 boat) so I've reduced the input voltage to the 7805 from raw battery
 voltage which is about 14 volts down to 9 volts (which I need for
 various other devices).  Thus the 7805 will be dissapating much less
 power now - (4 x current) watts as opposed to (9 x current) watts.

   Hi, 
   
   You're right: the Adafruit code does look odd. 
   
   As you say, to initiate communication with the DHT11/DHT22, 
   you're supposed to pull the signal low for  18 ms, then 
   high, then wait for the signal to be pulled low again. 
   Their code appears to skip the pull-high part.  I can only 
   assume that the Pi stops pulling the signal low when it 
   switches to input mode. 
   
   The only possible problem I can see in your code is that you 
   might not be pulling the signal low for long enough: perhaps 
   the usleep(2000) should be usleep(2)? Also, trying to 
   catch that 40 microsecond signal that begins the DHT22's 
   response is tricky - that's probably why the Pi's code 
   doesn't pull the line high explicitly.  Perhaps dropping the 
   digitalWrite(HIGH) from your code would have the same 
   effect? 
  
  I gave both of these a whirl, and they did not work.  I am 
   able to see the signal on my oscilloscope, though I'm new to 
   using the oscilloscope, so I'm not 100% sure. 
  
   I have my doubts about whether reading data from the DHT22 
   can work reliably from Linux code, given the tight timing 
   involved.  Apparently the Adafruit code is managing to do it 
   on the Pi, but there is a warning at the beginning of their 
   tutorial saying it may not work, and perhaps the library 
   they are using is more optimized than what is available for 
   the Bone. 
  
  Yes, I read that.  I'm starting to have the same doubts as 
   well. 
  
   Personally, I wimped out and use a separate processor to 
   read the DHT22.  I actually use a .Net Micro Framework 
   processor for this (which surprisingly is able to handle the 
   timings) and serial I/O, but something like the ATTiny2313 
   and I2C would be a better design. 
  
  I'm starting to think I might need to do the same.  I'll give 
   the Pi a try, and I've got an Electric Imp on the way, so 
   I'll probably try it too. 


 That would appear to be an overkill to toss in another processor. 
 Prehaps a different part would be more appropriate? 

 FWIW, I recently got a humidity sensor working on the classic 
 Beagle. This is the SHT-15 part. Everything pretty much was drop 
 in. Hookup. The setup was: 

 SHT-15 - Level Converter, 3.3V source - Beagle Classic. 

 Driver for it was all upstream. It is built on top of the GPIO 
 subsystem. The level converter and 3.3V are option on the 
 beaglelcd board. Write up for it will be posted as time permits. 

 Since IO on the bone is 3.3V, the level converter won't be 
 needed. 

  
  I've built a meat curing fridge, and I'm trying to build an 
   internet enabled controller.  I've built a monitor for it 
   using the TI Launchpad, and I'd like to build something that 
   will post the information to the internet (without hooking up 
   to my laptop and reading from a TTY).  I suppose I could try 
   XBee, but everything seems much harder since I'm not using an 
   Arduino. :-( 
  
  Anyway, thanks for the response.  If I can't get the Pi or the 
   Imp to work out, I'll hook the Launchpad up to the Bone via 
   UART. 
  
  Again, thanks for your time.  I appreciate the response!

Subject:  [beagleboard] Why beaglebone black restarts after a shutdown ??

 Hi,
 
 I have noticed that the beaglebone black starts up after a shutdown.
 
 I have a C++ program running in the bbb, the bbb is backed by an external +5V
 battery pack. When the C++ program issues the following command to start the
 shutdown procedure of the bbb.
 
 system(shutdown -h now);
 exit(0);
Try ³halt² instead.

Regards,
John
 
 This does shutdown the bbb completely sometimes, most times the bbb starts up
 again, the power led turns off but then after a second or two lights up again
 and then bbb starts up all over again (the output voltage from the power bank
 does not switch OFF, it remains ON for some time).
 
 In my previous bbb systems I have not faced this problem.
 
 It is my belief that the output voltage from the power bank has a sudden dip,
 this causes the bbb to detect a new power cycle.
 
 I am not sure though if I am correct...
 
 Could anyone enlighten me on this problem ???
 
 I am sorry if the above problem sounds vague...
 
 thanks
 a

Subject: Re: [beagleboard] Device Tree Compiler

Im looking through David Ander's article and I just dont
understand whats going on when applying diff to kernel
could you offer any assistance

Open the file drivers/spi/spidev.c and add the line:
{ .compatible = linux,spidev },
This line should be placed after the line:
{ .compatible = rohm,dh2228fv },
Regards,
John

It's a patch file to apply to the spidev.c file.  As it's only one line 
you can simply just edit the file and add the line, then rebuild the file.

There are several places you can look:
1. uEnv.txt
2. Stop u-boot at the command prompt and do a printenv
3. Use a console debug cable and look at the cmdline displayed
4. If you don¹t have a console debug cable, do a dmesg after to login and
look for cmdline. I expect this to be the same as /proc/cmdline
Usually the video setting are set in uEnv.txt file. You probably want
something like this:
kms_force_mode=video=HDMI-A-1:640x480@60

You should also see $(kms_force_mode) in one of the bootargs lines.

John

 hai all,
 
 can anybody  help me how to boot the rootfs using nfs ..still i stuck with
 same issue..
 currently i'm using ubuntu13.10 as a host pc to implement nfs booting.
 i referred the following link to build the kernel
 http://wiki.beyondlogic.org/index.php/BeagleBoneBlack_Building_Kernel
 http://elinux.org/Building_BBB_Kernel
I attached my uEnv.txt file I use for NFS. Make sure you change the IP
address and userID for nfsroot to match your host IP and userID. My local
network uses an address 10.100.116.xxx. My BBB is 10.100.116.104 and my host
is 10.100.116.73.

You need to install nfs-kernel-server on your Ubuntu host

Add the following line to your /etc/exports file on your host

/home/userID/targetNFS
10.100.116.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,no_sub
tree_check)

Place your rootfs in /home/userID/targetNFS on your host

sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

I think that is all, so NFS should work for you. I hope this helps.

Regard,
John
