[beagleboard] Re: USB client mode / usb HID mouse emulation with Beaglebone Black
Hi Felix,
Were you able to make it work at the end? If you did, do you mind giving me
some help? I see you are using gadgetfs but I'm not sure how this works.
Do you know of any documentation or tutorial on the subject?
Thanks for all the help,
Bart

I tried to fix the file inode.c as [1] suggests but I could not find the
file in /usr/src/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/ or anywhere else (opkg search
*inode.c* turned out empty).
Reading your other post I think you might be in the same place. I'll wait
till they release more information or patch the kernel.

I'm not too sure about your HID issue. I'll look into it. The problem
with the usb.c file is that in the file its musb_hdrc but that is
actually wrong. You need to edit the file and then compile and it would
fall through the switch perfectly fine. The actual name is musb-hdrc. I'm
not sure how whoever wrote the file messed up the name.
Now, once you load gadget fs and compile usb.c, you still need to make
one change, which will unfortunately require a kernel recompile.
Information it can be found here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/99672
So for a test, i suggest starting over and doing these steps:
1. make sure you are connected via ssh over the network and not ssh
through the usb0 network as we need to unload that module.
2. using rmmod, unload g_multi and libcomposite, in that order
3. modprobe gadgetfs
4. compile usb.c using one of the make commands at the top of the file,
the first is for polling io and the second is for async io
5. run the output executable, if all goes well, the BBB will freeze
lol, this is alright though, this means that gadgetfs is working, if you
had it hooked up to a windows machine, you should have even heard the
bladoonk sound.
6. Go to the link I provided and follow the instructions on recompiling
the kernel to get the appropriate fixes for the freeze problem.
7. run usb.c again and everything should be gravy. Using usb.c as a
template, you should be able to start writing your software.
I have been considering creating some type of site dedicated to the
gadget framework because there is literally one files worth of
documentation on it, and while it is an excellent piece of software, its
difficult to understand and really needs tutorials and docs. I just don't
have the time...

[1], but it does not compile. Even if it would compile, I do not understand
the program as my_hid structure that one is supposed to copy into this
program is never used anywhere in the associated snippet. And still it
relies on /dev/hidX to be present, which on my machine is not there.
I've also tried the code found on [2] but this does not work because
/dev/gadget/ep0 etc. is not present. (The program did not even branch into
the else if (stat (DEVNAME = musb_hdrc, statb) == 0) { branch. I had
to manually force it there).
Trying to create the nodes with mknod ep1in c 240 1 resulted mknod:

Could somebody please provide me with a (concise) example of how to use
my beaglebone black as a hid (mouse or keyboard) device? I would be really
grateful.

[beagleboard] PRU XCHG instruction problem
Hello group, I cannot understand of how the XCHG PRU instruction works (or cannot make it working as expected). I expect that XCHG 10, r1, 4 should exchange the contents of r1 with the scratch pad bank0.r1, 4 bytes: put r1 contents there, and get S-pad data, simultaneously. However I see the XCHG behaviour exactly the same as the XIN instruction, that is scratchpad is being read OK, but nothing is written to the scratchpad. The code: mov r1, 0x01 XOUT 10, r1, 4 // init the S-pad to value of 0x01 mov r1, 0x02 XCHG 10, r1, 4 // Make S-pad=0x02, r1 = 0x01 SBCO r1, C24, 0x00, 4 // r1 - RAM0..3, and I see the RAM0 = 0x01 - OK mov r1, 0x03 XCHG 10, r1, 4 // Make S-pad=0x03, r1 = 0x02 SBCO r1, C24, 0x04, 4 // r1 - RAM4..7, but I see the RAM4 = 0x01 - BAD! Should be 0x02 Could somebody please confirm that XCHG instruction works, or does not work, or how to make it exchanging the data reg-scratchpad?

[beagleboard] Re: How to find DDR physical address for passing data to/from pruss?
Most examples provided in the github are correct enough for me to use them. If you niticed any particular bug, please address it exactly. To access PRU registers, and PRU memory you should use the driver. The driver calls (like prussdrv_map_prumem) return pointers you can use to directly read/write PRU hardware. Ther resulting code might look like (writing to the local PRU RAM, from the client): static char *pruMem; ... pruMem[THIS_PRU_NUMBER] = 0; Another case is if you want to pass the DDR buffer address so that it will write there. The simplest case (IMHO) is to use the frame buffer /dev/fb0. Open it, find DDR mapping parameters, and pass to the PRU.

[beagleboard] UART issues on BBB
I'm struggling to talk to a modem over the UART. The UARTs in question are 1 and 2, which I enabled using the Adafruit python library. They can talk to each other fine so I presume they are set up fine. The problem is that after going through a level shifter they seem unable to communicate to my devices. The GPS module sends data, and it can be received no problem, but sending data seems to be a problem. I have two specific questions. 1) should I be using a common ground? At the moment I am using two separate power supplies as I can't draw power from the BBB. There is currently no ground common to both. 2) is the transmission power from the tx pin high enough to get through the level shifter? Does anybody know what the power of these tx pins are? GPRS module is SIM900, and works fine with my power supply if connected to my PC via a USB to TTL adaptor.

[beagleboard] JAVA Exception on BeagleBone Black Debian Distributions
I am experiencing a JAVA exception when starting a Java application on either the official or unofficial Debian OS versions of the Beaglebone platform. The application is running headful mode and uses Swing for the GUI.. I have included the exception details below.

The same problem does *not*, however, occur on the unofficially supported Ubuntu OS - the application runs fine under the Ubuntu GUI. It looks to me as though there's some subtle difference in X11 between the Debian and Ubuntu linux variants. *Information* 1) The application is the 3.20 version of the jOrgan running with in the usual GUI (not headless) mode 2) The target platform is the Beaglebone Black revision A5A with 8GB Sandisk Ultra microSD Card 2).

[beagleboard] BeagleBone as LAN webserver for a media-heavy site
Hi everyone, I was hoping you could give me some advice on the BeagleBone boards. For a home project, I'm looking for something that can run a webserver that would only ever serve 1 to 3 clients at a time. The website itself is a little bit heavy though - basically it will show the client pictures and videos that are stored in an SQL database and perform some extra functions. I was lucky enough to borrow a BeagleBone Black from a friend, and do a quick check to serve a MP4 HD video file over LAN (HTML5 video). Seemed to work OK. Unfortunately I do not have time to set up and try out the entire website (which also has some php server-side scripting going on, doing queries on the SQL database, fetching lots of thumbnails to preview media files, etc). On top of all that, the Bone would be running a (very simple) Python server application that listens on a socket and forwards HTTP requests to some USB device connected to it. The video result was encouraging, but I have no clue what to expect performance-wise from the Bone when it's confronted with all the stuff listed above. I understand it's hard to say based on this brief explanation, but I was wondering whether you could do an educated guess: is this too much for the Beagle boards, or should they be able to handle this alright?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Atlantic Canada Timezone
yes there is a shift to Debian and I believe the new boards are being shipped with Debian rather than Angstrom. I'm not sure what that means in terms of your book, but given that you are new to BBB, I'd continue to work on the examples with Angstrom and the book. Once you get a footing, jump over to Debian. I'm no expert but maybe a package is missing in Angstrom for the Atlantic time zone ... maybe try something like (use at your own risk) sudo opkg update sudo opkg install tzdata-canada good luck On 12 May 2014 15:00, mike rankin 0mik...@gmail.com wrote: I'm using Angstrom and Canada is not located anywhere in usr/share/zoneinfo On another note, The BBB is new to me and I'm a nube going through the Getting Started with the BeagleBone Black book examples.

Is there any chance you could add a 6-pin stack-through part for use on the serial console port? These are unavailable from Digi-Key or Mouser, and the only way I've found to easily buy them is from Arduino shops. It would easier to buy these from you with the 46-pin headers and save on shipping. Or maybe just let us order anything from your line?

Re: [beagleboard] Pros and Cons for the various BBB operating systems.
Thanks for the follow up info... I don't have a particular project in mind. Just trying to stay one step ahead of the local robotics team :) On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 9:49 PM, William Hermans yyrk...@gmail.com wrote: Debian has probably been around longer than 99% of the other distro's out there. Angstrom in fact is based on another distro, that was based off of Debian. Debian also has loads of documentation out there on the Web. However, some of the documentation on the web is outdated, or based on older versions. So in this respect, the user must understand this and sometimes sift through information. Robert Nelson's release *is* Debian( there is also Ubuntu, but any distro should be able to use the same kernel ). From what I understand is a stock armhf root file system, and a custom kernel. Otherwise it *is* plain ole Debian. Which means any documentation you find on the web should work so long as there are no ARCH specific issues to contend with. Also as far as I know Robert's release *is* the official release where the BBB is concerned. Previously Angstrom was the official release Which I am not sure if Robert had a hand in creating or not.. Also, for what it is worth, Robert's bare file system scripts create a Debian file system that is as small as ~75MB. Which is to say, is not necessarily the smallest, but is pretty darned small. Then of course the more you want in applications / tool, the larger the file system grows. On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 5:57 PM, Philip Polstra ppols...@gmail.com wrote: What are you trying to do?

[beagleboard] Small blink of BBB Power LED and then nothing during GPIO
Hello BeagleBoard community, I'm afraid I bricked my Beaglebone Black. The current symptom: Upon being connected to power (either from the DC jack or USB), the power LED blinks briefly, and then goes out. And... that's it. No other LED's or other indicators, and no boot sequence. It's the same whether there's an SD card present or not; the system never even gets that far. Help? Here's what I was doing at the time: - I was attempting to read the GPIO state of one of the pins (P9.11, gpio0[30]). - I connected this pin to +3.3V (P9.3). - I executed cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio30/value (GPIO 30 is the system name for this pin) a number of times. I had previously used this pin as a GPIO out (reading its value) without a problem. I figured that means it was safe to use as a GPIO in. What else might this have done?

Re: [beagleboard] Small blink of BBB Power LED and then nothing during GPIO
Technically speaking, if the board is still in working order, you cannot brick the board. You may have blown a pin by connecting it to 3.3V direct instead of through a large pull up resistor especially if the pin was acting as an output on power up The flashing LED indicates that you popped the processor.. You will need to request an RMA to get it fixed. http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#RMA_Support Gerald.

[beagleboard] Beagleboneblack booting
Tried flashing latest angstrom distribution from beagle bone nothing happened. Board now only boots with micro SD card inserted. Just wondering if this is normal. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

This is not normal if you do it correctly. What procedures are you following? How long did you wait for it to complete the flashing process?

Re: [beagleboard] libpruio (fast and easy D/A - I/O)
For the default image we need the binary libpruio.so (not sure about libpruio.a). And we need the headers. Currently there're 4 headers, but I think I should create an all-in-one version called pruio.h and drop the documentation comments to save some memory. Where to send the fine-tuned files?

Re: [beagleboard] A simple cape to prevent power-interrupt corruption?
So perhaps all I'll need is a small battery (recharged when DC power is available) attached to the pads on the BBB, and some software. I am looking for an orderly shutdown when DC power is removed - the sole purpose of the battery is to provide power just until the BBB can be shutdown properly. No need to be monitoring for a wakeup event (just power back on when DC power is restored). Can you point me to any examples of how to monitor the DC status (through I2C as you say below or any other way) and initiate the shutdown? Thanks. On Friday, May 9, 2014 10:12:58 PM UTC-7, Ron B. wrote: ... So, for the shutdown, the cape itself doesn't do anything since that's a software issue. But since DC power status is reported through a status register over I2C, I used that in a bash script while toying with a podcast car computer. I haven't spent much time on it but it definitely turns itself on and off with the car. I guess the other option would be a kernel module that monitors power good and initiates the shutdown... -Ron -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

[beagleboard] Beaglebone Quadcopter!
Hey guys, A group of Rose-Hulman students have been hard at work this past year building a Beaglebone Quadcopter with these goals in mind: 1. Low cost ($100-150 w/o Beaglebone) 2. Fully open source (Cape, Frame, and all control software) on our Githubhttps://github.com/Rose-Hulman-ROBO4xx/1314-BeagleBone-Quadcopter/tree/master_rev2 . 3. Easy to assembly and repair (we estimate it will take 1-2 hours to assemble and get ready to fly) 4. Durable and easy to fly (currently supports USB game controller control, though we initially tested using a USB RC controller, though it's also possible to eventually use a cell phone as a controller) with a 10 minute flight time 5. Sensor packed: 9-Axis (MPU 9150), Altimeter (BMP 180), Ultrasonic Rangefinder (HC SR04), Battery Gas Gauge (MAX 17044), and CMOS Camera (OV7670). The Quadcopter is flown via WiFi and Bluetooth (though streaming video doesn't yet work over Bluetooth) from a host computer (you need somewhere to view the streaming video from). Additionally, we're using a Debian image and have added Xenomai for better real time performance. We're also using both PRU's: one for real time motor control and one for the camera. With the quadcopter software running, we've still got 80+% of the CPU free for other processing (OpenCV, etc.). We're currently using a PID control scheme, but we may be switching to a sweet state variable feedback system (or getting a senior design group next year to do it). So, we want some feedback from you guys on the following: 1. *Would you buy one of these Quadcopters? * 2. *Is our price point reasonable? Is this something worth selling ourselves or would this be a good kickstarter project? * 3. *Are there any other features you think are critical (wouldn't buy without it)?* If you want to dive deeper into our design: 1. *How does the software look (particularly the PRU to C interface)? Would you be willing to maintain it, or update it to State Variable?* 2. *How does the PCB look? Are there any flaws you see? Would you want to add or remove any other sensors?* 3. *How does the mechanical design (Quadcopter frame) look? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Easy to build (if you have a laser cutter, give it a try and let us know)? Easy to fix when broken?* Here are some pictures: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-kgxIfN6_fL8/U3Ffs2ZPgsI/AFM/u8omMlHOvHY/s1600/2013-12-18_14-34-02_876.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TKaZ6oB1_uA/U3Ff9Si5xcI/AFc/nr2p7Wztm-M/s1600/2013-12-18_14-34-24_871.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fhFlpxYzDIk/U3FgD43LFvI/AFk/Tag00rk5ww4/s1600/2014-03-30_14-06-29_481.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xhMc-hNYpT8/U3FgKukzMYI/AFs/T-Sd2HiQB9M/s1600/2014-03-30_14-06-37_787.jpg Videos are available on here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0pfk43b3zq14rjh/xk6Kl6lccb#/(and on the githubhttps://github.com/Rose-Hulman-ROBO4xx/1314-BeagleBone-Quadcopter/tree/master_rev2).
