[beagleboard] Re: porting kernel 3.13.6 to beaglebone black

2014-03-25 Thread Sungjin Chun
Though I'm not sure on the current linux distro you are using on BBB, my 
choice is Arch Linux and it already has
3.13.6 kernel.

I managed to install  run on my BeagleBone Black(yes, arch linux), 
however, this version of kernel does not have
cape manager (/sys/devices/capemgr.*) and I cannot figure out how to 
change/apply device tree file.

In short, 3.13.6 is already ported to BBB, and there is no capemgr (unlike 
3.8.13).

Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

2014-03-25 Thread William Hermans
I am still not sure why anyone would need / want all this complexity.

Living offgrid, powered by solar panels which charge a battery bank, which
then powers our home via an Inverter . . .  I am not sure why the same
concept can not be used on the BBB.

1) Power the BBB via a small rechargeable ~5V power source.
2) charge this ~5V power source via AC mains, solar power, whatever.
3) Monitor power on the charge input, and when absent send a message to the
kernel to shutdown / hybernate.

Then, all you need is to make sure your power source can work a few minutes
with no input power applied. Perhaps even double this value for safety.

The way I see things, there is nothing to complex about all this at all.

 Subject: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

 HI, I have been working for a wile on safe power supply for BBB with
 backup power provided by supercapacitors. In case of power failure there
 is  just enough  time to safely and nicely shut down BBB. For some reason
 BBB does not always wake up fully. I need hardware dogwatch. Did anybody
 design such a thing? I was able to find some design for ardunio:

 Hi Robert,

 Developing a power supply that ensures a reliable shutdown down in the
 event of a power failure isn't a simple design. You really need to monitor
 the input power supply and the state of the kernel to determine when to
 remove and reapply power to the BBB. You have to consider the corner cases
 such as:

1. power failure could occur during the boot up sequence
2. power failure occurred, triggering a shutdown sequence and then
power is restored during the shutdown sequence.

 With Linux, you cannot arbitrarily remove power during the boot up
 sequence and you cannot simply reapply power during the power down
 sequence. In the first case, when would it be safe to simply remove power
 to the BBB and in the second case, when would it be safe to recycle the
 power to the BBB. Currently there is no external info to determine the
 state of the kernel so you would have to add a kernel driver which will
 control a GPIO to signal when the kernel is in a safe mode (all volatile
 info written to non-volatile memory) and also monitor a GPIO used to
 interrupt the kernel when a power failure occurs.

 So now, you need an external state machine which tracks the input power
 supply, state-of-kernel and charge state of super caps. Timers are also
 required to ensure a proper power recycle.

 I hope I have covered everything you need to consider in your design, but
 perhaps others has some insights I haven't considered.

 Regards,
 John

Not a problem when you are there to push the on button or reset your BBB
when it locks up. What happens when there is no human intervention and the
BBB is in some remote location? What happens during brown outs, power
surges, power fluctuations, auto reclosure operations, power bypass, etc?
What happens when you have 10K, 100K or even 1 Million devices running. Even
a 0.1% failure rate will be a disaster.

Cost is a primary factor so you cannot spend 10x on the power supply
(batteries, solar panels; really?). Batteries are expensive and have a
limited number of charge cycles, typically less than 1,000 cycles (less than
3 years). Actually, the circuit is even more complex because supercaps have
a max voltage of 2.5 or 2.7 volts, so you have to stack them. Now you need
an energy balance circuit to make sure all caps in series maintain an equal
charge. During power fail, the voltage across these supercaps decrease, but
you need to maintain a constant voltage, so you need a boost switching
supply. The switcher cannot start until the supercaps have a minimum charge.
I could go on, but yes the complexity is necessary to ensure a reliable
supply. 

Your solution may be perfect for your requirements, but I think we are
talking about a different operating environment.

John

If Power LED still lights up, that means no short happens. JTAG header has
two reset signals: nSRST (system reset) and nTRST (JTAG reset). I believe
one of these two pins must be connected incorrectly. You might try to
dis-soldered the header first and see whether the BBB can work then.

 Hi.  I bought BBB A6A new, 1 month ago.  It worked OK out-of-the-box.
 I power it from the USB from a windows laptop and poke around with a

 I soldered on the proper JTAG header very carefully and now it is dead.
 The Power LED lights up, but nothing else happens.
 I am handy with electronics, programming and linux.
 What can I do to troubleshoot the BBB?
 Is there a DIY procedure?
 I did not reflash the eMMC or a SDcard.

Re: [beagleboard] Why is a SN74LVC1G06 connected between emmc and AM3359 on Beaglebone black?

2014-03-25 Thread Gerald Coley
To insure that on power up, the eMMC is not held reset which would result
in you not being able to boot from the eMMC because it was in reset. The
purpose of the device is to invert the polarity of the default state of
the processor pin. If you look at the datasheet for the processor, you will
see that the default state of the pin is low on power up.

Second, if I remember correctly it looks like the version designed to run 
from the SD card lists wlan0 within Wicd, but the eMMC version does not. 
IAny chance you can list wlan0 within Wicd for both versions?

Third, I had to input the passphrase into Wicd, generate the PSK using 
wpa_passphrase, and then add the PSK into Wicd. Not sure why. Maybe I'm 
doing something wrong, but I suspect it's some sort of glitch with Wicd.

Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

2014-03-25 Thread Timbo


 What happens when you have 10K, 100K or even 1 Million devices running.


Now we know where all the BBBs went!

For home use I've rigged two BBBs together so that each can monitor and 
reset the other.  Every 5 minutes each board tries to send itself a message 
via an ssh connection to the other board.  If it fails to receive that 
message, it assumes the other board has crashed somehow and sends a reset.  
If it still fails to get a response it carries out a power cycle.

In conjunction with a simple UPS such as the OP describes, this would 
probably be enough for normal use.

[beagleboard] Problem with make menuconfig

Hello all,

I have a strange problem with make menuconfig - if I perform these steps 
(presuming no .config or .config.old exists):


   1. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- omap3_beagle_android_defconfig
   2. make menuconfig
   3. Don't make any changes, or just make one trivial change, and save the 
   configuration

Following this, I would expect the new .config file to be virtually 
identical, except for a few small changes, e.g. timestamp and the change I 
made.  Instead, I find the .config file has been obliterated!  It's 
changed from being ARM to x86_64, etc etc.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

[beagleboard] Interpretting Post Crash Logs

2014-03-25 Thread RandallW
I have a BeagleBone Angstom image that basically polls MODBUS/TCP data on 
the network from a PLC using a Python script. This image has been run in 
both the BBB and BBW and we are seeing a periodic crash after a few days of 
operation if the flash card is branded by Sandisk. If the exact same image 
is run on a flash card from Transcend we do not see crashes. The kernel is 
3.8.13.

The journal includes some lines like shown below about the time of the 
crash. I would like some help/recommendations about what this means. 

Also based on your experience are Transcend cards better? They claim to 
have ECC features and I cannot find any such claim on the Sandisk cards. 

Is ECC a good thing for these flash cards?

Re: [beagleboard] Support for multiple USB CCID devices

I feared as much...

Some testing on an old x86 desktop running CentOS 6 started showing issues

Any recommendations on what sort of hardware I should be looking for?

 Honestly, even on x86 with that many devices, you'll run out of usb

 Go test it, it'll likely fail after 4-5 of those devices.

 For this i need to interface my SIM (I2S) with the BBB, is there an I2S

[beagleboard] Secondary power button

I have installed MAME on a BBB and would now like to us it in an arcade 
cabinet. To keep the BBB hidden away in the cabinet I will need to wire a 
secondary power button. I have found tutorials on adding a button using the

power button. I need the ability to both power on and off the BBB from this

A while back we worked on getting 3D graphics working on the BBB using

working using Yocto which uses the same TI Kernel layer used in Angstrom.
You may want to contact Stef to see how he got this to work.

3D acceleration has been reported to work by several folks if you're
using raw frame buffers (so something like QT).  If you need X11
support, it's still not available from TI.

I haven't gotten this running myself, since I currently need X11 drivers
for my application UI.  The build and install process is non-trivial, so
be prepared for an uphill battle if you want to replicate the results.

do ntpdate from the command line with the local time server ip specified, I 
have to kill ntp first since it is using the same socket. I think this 
issue have been discussed in the past and I can probably find the answer 
with enough googling, but if someone wants to share the recipe that would 
be great.

 I know there was some discussion of related issues quite a while ago, but

 Unless I set the date manually the BBB thinks it's Feb. after any reboot.

 4. Copy the 'boot' folder from the Angstrom image to the SD Card and 
 replace any duplicate files.

 5. Plug in the SD Card and boot up.

 Note: I haven't verified but if you follow these instructions I don't 
 think you can flash to the eMMC unless you edit the uEnv.txt

Re: [beagleboard] Trying to make flash install of my customized Beaglebone Black

2014-03-25 Thread Artie Mistler
I know that you did say this was for Debian, and as stated before I'm using
Angstrom.

Any things you can think of that would be gotchas?  For instance the
location of uEnv.txt is in /boot, not /boot/uboot.  So I'm adapting the
script, but creating a /boot/uboot subdirectory to copy and place the
zImage, initrd.img and any other files.  What I've also run into is that
Angstrom doesn't have update-initramfs, so I was figuring to install that;
it requires that I reconfigure from private network to DHCP and run opkg.
But wondering if I'd be heading down a bad direction by trying to adapt
that script if it really would match my intent but the intended system is
different enough that the details need a lot of changes.

  It's dependent on a variable stored in uEnv.txt and a custom init
  script, but otherwise it's just rsync that does all the real work..

 For reference, the script is hosted here:

 (that way you don't have to flash the image to get it.)

Subject:  Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

 
 What happens when you have 10K, 100K or even 1 Million devices running.
 
 Now we know where all the BBBs went!
Very funny. BBB wouldn¹t work for my application but I do draw from Gerald¹s
brilliance ;-)
 
 
 For home use I've rigged two BBBs together so that each can monitor and reset
 the other.  Every 5 minutes each board tries to send itself a message via an
 ssh connection to the other board.  If it fails to receive that message, it
 assumes the other board has crashed somehow and sends a reset.  If it still
 fails to get a response it carries out a power cycle.
 
 In conjunction with a simple UPS such as the OP describes, this would probably
 be enough for normal use.

[beagleboard] Did my Beaglebone Black died completely?

2014-03-25 Thread billwaahau
I got a Beaglebone Black from Adafruit last Friday, have it for a couple 
days, but I think it's dead now.
On arrival, the ssh and everything work fine, however, the hdmi port does 
not work. 
I verified this later with another Beaglebone Black that arrived which work 
on the same equipment. 

Just today, I was doing some prototyping work, remove the BBB usb from 
computer while leaving it run on DC power. 
After a couple minutes, I found that the all LED on the board is off. I 
tried rebooting, nothing happen. 
The power LED only give me 1 blink when I press the power button / plug in 
power, then nothing. 

Maybe I corrupted the memory?
So I try to flash a new OS with a microSD card, plug in power while holding 
the boot button. 
No luck with that either. It wouldn't even start the flashing process. 
It just give me one blink in the power LED and that's it. 

So is my Beaglebone officially dead? =(
Kinda a bad first experience with the product...

Most likely during your prototype work you popped a processor pin. The

 Most likely during your prototype work you popped a processor pin. The

It can if you have ESD issues. Not exactly sure what a 5V Electronic Speed

Re: [beagleboard] Re: USB transmission speed

2014-03-25 Thread thomas . zell
Version 6.00 of the TI Sitara SDK supports(*) the BBB:

http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara

It allows you to cross compile the TI kernel. Note that you need a serial 
connection to access the console (an FTDI cable probably is the best 
choice). I couldn't get the network based boot to work, but creating an SD 
card with the TI root file system and the TI kernel on it was successful 
after some trial and error. I only tried USB, so I don't know if the rest 
of the BBB hardware works with this kernel.

(*) There still seem to be some rough edges with respect to the BBB

[beagleboard] PWM in the 3.13 Kernel

2014-03-25 Thread halherta
I'm having problems with PWM under the latest 3.13 kernel (built as per the 
instructions provided @ 
http://www.eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black) with a Debian 
root filesystem.The Device tree seems to support 3 PWM channels on P9_14, 
P9_16 (ehprwm1ab)  P9_42 (ecap0). But when i take a peek at the contents 
of the /sys/devices/ocp.#/pwm_test_P9_14.#/ directory I do not see the 
'period', 'duty', 'run' or 'polarity' files needed to control the PWM 
channels.

Is PWM supported in the 3.13 Kernel yet? 

Thanks!

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Ubuntu nptdate can't find servers on boot

2014-03-25 Thread William Hermans
On Debian, what I did was make an init script to add a route to out
gateway/router, and then called ntpdate in the same script right after.
With Debian, you can order when these scripts ( services ) are run so they
can be run during whichever time you prefer during the boot up process. In
my own case, I just ran the script/service at the end of the bootup process.

With all that said, Debian uses a different ( default ) system-v type init
daemon than Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses Upstart, which as I understand is similar
but different. I have done enough reading to realize that using Upstart on
Ubuntu could be made to do the same thing, but I have no practical hands on
personally

Anyway, this is just one way I have figured out to do this one thing. While
most definitely it is not the only way, and possibly not even optimal. But
it worked for me..

[beagleboard] MMC1: strange voltage values in MMC1 module pins DAT[3-0], WP and CMD

2014-03-25 Thread 4ndr3s44
Hello, I built a board really similar to beagleboard rev4 from scratch. I 
just added some USB ports and other few changes.(buy the components, 
manufacture it, design the layers..etc) 
After some problems I finally got a “40W” in the terminal connected to 
UART3. I could not boot from SDCard because, despite the voltage in VMMC1 
is 3V, my WP, DAT[3-0] and CMD pins have a strange voltage value. The 
voltage values measured in the SDCard reader are shown in this table:

  MY BEAGLE ORIGINAL BEAGLE 0.5 V 1.8 V WP Conected to OMAP   1.8 V 1.8 
V CD Conected to TPS65950   0.51 V 3 V DAT1 Conected to OMAP   0.507 V 3 V 
DAT0 Conected to OMAP   0 V 0.078 V DAT7 Conected to OMAP Powered by VSIM  0 
V 0 V GND0 V 0.072 V DAT6 Conected to OMAP Powered by VSIM   CLK Conected 
to OMAP   3 V 3 V VDD0 V 0 V GND0 V 0.072 V DAT5 Conected to OMAP 
Powered

Powered 
by VSIM  0.513 V 3 V DAT3 Conected to OMAP   0.507 V 3 V DAT2 Conected to 
OMAP  

After check the voltages in a real beagleboard I found that DAT[0-3] and 
CMD are 3V. I have been searching a lot but I could not find why my voltage 
values are wrong. 

The hardware configuration is the same as the original beagleboard: to 
power OMAP3530 I am using TPS65950. The only difference is that due to a 
design fail I needed to cut the connection of VMMC1 with the TPS65950 and I 
am powering VMMC1 with an external source (3V). I took care of give power 
to VDD in the card reader and to VDDS_MMC1 in the OMAP3530.

VSIM is 0V after reset despite VAUX12S is powered at 3.6V. I could not load 
any loader into the board yet. If I can not fix MMC problems I will try to 
boot from UART, because of the 40W it seems that the OMAP processor is 
alive.

Really thanks.

PD: 

1) Because all the wrong voltages in my board are almost the same value 
(0.5 V) I thought that maybe the original beagleboards comes with a 
different preconfigured pins state-after-reset (pull-down or something) 
than the OMAP3530 bought directly??? 

2) Can I say that VMMC1 is reaching correctly the VDDS_MMC1 pin in the 
OMAP3530 because of the 0.5V in the pins? or the connection between VMMC1 
and VDDS_MMC1 could be cut despite the 0.5V?

Well, not much to go on here. A schematic would be extremely
helpful. Configuration of pins are taken care of by the internal ROM and
are shown in the datasheet. I would also look at your boot pins, but i have

Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

2014-03-25 Thread William Hermans
Yeah after I thought about it, after making my post I realized I did not
include a way to bring the BBB back up.

For bringing the BBB back up after input power is back up I suppose I would
use an MSP430 to monitor the input power, and a keep alive signal from
the BBB to the MSP430. A Value line MSP430 such as the MSP430G2553 is low
cost ( ~$2.5 in quantities of 1 ) can run off a single button cell for
years. the MSP430G2553 also has SPI, I2C, GPIO's, and UART, as well as a
few other niceties( hardware WDT, and Timer(s).)

So perhaps more complex than I originally led on, but perfectly doable, and
not really all that complex. Just off the top of my head, I would use
either a regular timer, or perhaps even use the hardware watchdog timer to
cycle a reset on the BBB through a GPIO. With the keep alive signal being
sent out over either SPI or UART.

Is this on track with what you had in mind, or are you thinking of
something else, or is this too complex for your application ?

 Very funny. BBB wouldn't work for my application but I do draw from
 Gerald's brilliance ;-)



 For home use I've rigged two BBBs together so that each can monitor and
 reset the other.  Every 5 minutes each board tries to send itself a message
 via an ssh connection to the other board.  If it fails to receive that
 message, it assumes the other board has crashed somehow and sends a reset.
 If it still fails to get a response it carries out a power cycle.

 In conjunction with a simple UPS such as the OP describes, this would
 probably be enough for normal use.

Hi William,

I like your solution. I used a GreenPak from http://www.silego.com/ which
are really low cost $0.35 in small quantities. They are tiny (about 2mm
square) and very robust; no need for WDT. Also, they work down to 1.8V,
which is required when working with supercaps.

John

 For home use I've rigged two BBBs together so that each can monitor and
 reset the other.  Every 5 minutes each board tries to send itself a message
 via an ssh connection to the other board.  If it fails to receive that
 message, it assumes the other board has crashed somehow and sends a reset.
 If it still fails to get a response it carries out a power cycle.
 
 In conjunction with a simple UPS such as the OP describes, this would
 probably be enough for normal use.

[beagleboard] Re: Kernel headers for Linux beaglebone 3.13.6-bone8

2014-03-25 Thread Brandon I
For Angstrom, you can install the kernel-dev and kernel-headers packages. 
This will be enough to compile kernel modules.

There have been times in the past where the packages where out of sync with 
the actual kernel being used. Not sure what the current state is. Check the 
stable branch...lol, just kidding.

[beagleboard] Re: Encouragement for the disencouraged

2014-03-25 Thread Brandon I
 My only real issue that I have no idea what the Angstrom is really 
capable of and what really comes with it.

I think the biggest hurdle for people is they have some embedded mindset 
with talk of processors and whatnot. Think of this as it is, a resource 
limited general purpose Linux computer in a small form factor. You develop 
for it just like you would a normal desktop computer.

Don't think of it as what Angstrom is really capable of because Angstrom 
has nothing to do with it. Install Debian if you want and you'll be able to 
accomplish the same (maybe with less free RAM) using almost identical code.

The biggest hurdle I had was to do things right the Linux way, as in 
using the abstracted to infinity drivers and sysfs interfaces to do 
something like access a single register for some hard ip. You can go bang 
registers and be done with it, but the whole point is that you don't have 
to care about the specific platform if you use the standard interfaces 
allowing you to port your code to some other future embedded (or not) 
system.

2 ranty cents for you.

[beagleboard] [Q] Enabling ADC without Device Tree file

2014-03-25 Thread Sungjin Chun
Can anyone let me know what register should I use for this?

I just tried to read following register value

0x44E0D000

where REVISION (12.5.1.1 of TRM) register is. But without
slotting BB_ADC to capemgr, what I've got is following error:

Unhandled fault: external abort on non-linefetch (0x1018) at 0xb6f11000

This kind of error, I have experienced with GPIO3 register and I found that
turning on clock using CM_PER_GPIO3_CLKCTRL(8.1.12.1.31 of TRM)
solves.

However I cannot figure out what register should I turn on, I've tried with
CM_WKUP_ADC_TSC_CLKCTRL but it does not solve my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

2014-03-25 Thread William Hermans
Hi John,

Yeah, the MSP430G2553 can go down to at least 1.8v, and I am thinking a
good bit lower. I am thinking perhaps 1.2V at minimal clock / periph's( I'd
have to read the datasheet again ) Now just because I am relatively new to
embedded devices, and I know the MSP430's fairly well, I would choose these
for myself. The MSP430 value line products can not beat or even meet that
price by a long shot in small quantities. I think the lowest my buddy got a
tube of 10 for ~$1.35 each a bit over a year ago. One or two off,
personally I think this price is fair enough.

I haven't heard of the devices you're linking to, and the link doesn't work
for me. So i can not even look to see exactly what it is. I would assume
the MSP430G2553 would be overkill by comparison, feature wise.

So, I am not much of an EE, but my buddy is. Perhaps I could get him to
design something up while I'll tie things together in software. This is
something I personally have interest in as well.

 Subject: Re: [beagleboard] Hardware watchdog for BBB

 Yeah after I thought about it, after making my post I realized I did not
 include a way to bring the BBB back up.

 For bringing the BBB back up after input power is back up I suppose I
 would use an MSP430 to monitor the input power, and a keep alive signal
 from the BBB to the MSP430. A Value line MSP430 such as the MSP430G2553 is
 low cost ( ~$2.5 in quantities of 1 ) can run off a single button cell for
 years. the MSP430G2553 also has SPI, I2C, GPIO's, and UART, as well as a
 few other niceties( hardware WDT, and Timer(s).)

 So perhaps more complex than I originally led on, but perfectly doable,
 and not really all that complex. Just off the top of my head, I would use
 either a regular timer, or perhaps even use the hardware watchdog timer to
 cycle a reset on the BBB through a GPIO. With the keep alive signal being
 sent out over either SPI or UART.

 Is this on track with what you had in mind, or are you thinking of
 something else, or is this too complex for your application ?

 Hi William,

 I like your solution. I used a GreenPak from http://www.silego.com/ which
 are really low cost $0.35 in small quantities. They are tiny (about 2mm
 square) and very robust; no need for WDT. Also, they work down to 1.8V,
 which is required when working with supercaps.

 Regards,
 John

 Hi Charles,

 Thank you very much for your answer. I manage to access it after enable 
 ADC using 'echo BB-ADC  /sys/devices/bone.capemgr.*/slots' . Though I 
 could only do it in kernel 3.8, later kernel (3.12) gives an error saying

 to get it working . Anyhow, I will work with 3.8 for now.

 There is no cape manager in V3.12

  Hi everyone, 
  
  I have been trying to use PRU to read multiple ADC inputs. 
 Unfornately, I 
  am stuck at accessing to the ADC registers (chapter 12 on AM335x 
 technical 
  reference manual). I set the OCP registers, checked the PMAO registers 
 on 
  PRU to ensure access to external host. For example, I read the ADC 
 REVISION 
  as below: (tried to write to STEPCONFIG and STEPENABLE, etc.) 
  
 MOV r13, 0x44E0D000 //ADC REVISION 
 LBBO r5, r13, 0, 4 
 SBCO r5, C28, 4, 4  //store REVISION to shared memory to show with 
 C 
  program 
  
  .. but everything returns 0. 
  
  I install Ubuntu 13.04 on Beaglebone Black, tried kernels 3.8, 3.12. 
 PRU 
  worked with shared memory accessing, and GPIO1 registers (I am not 
 sure 
  what to try next) . I haven't tried it on the official Angstrom image, 
  because I still couldn't get PRU to work right away on it. 

 I suggest you remove the PRU from the setup temporarily and try directly 
 reading the memory from C.  This will be a lot easier to debug, and the 
 PRU has no chance of reading ADC values if you can't read them from the 
 ARM. 

 As a guess, I suspect you don't have the ADC hardware setup properly and 
 are getting bus faults when reading.  This will show up as an error if 
 you try to read the memory location from the ARM (making it easier to 
 debug).  Make sure you have loaded a device tree overlay that enables 
 the TSC hardware (Touch Screen Controller = ADC) and populates an 
 appropriate state-machine instruction table to digitize the values you 
 are interested in.  Unlike simpler microcontrollers, each major 
 subsystem in the AM335x can be powered up or shut down, and by default 
 most systems (ADC, PWM, etc) are powered down with their clocks disabled 
 until you explicitly enable them. 

 Once you can properly read the values from a raw memory location using 
 the ARM, the PRU should be able to read them as well.
