[beagleboard] my host PC cannot detect ttyUSB0
Hi, I always used beaglebone white before, and I bought a new BBB one week ago. I followed steps on https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black to start with my BBB (so does Beaglebone white), However, my computer cannot detect ttyUSB0 through USB socket, but LEDs on BBB can blink. It seems microSD works. I followed the steps on eewiki except usb gadget, HDMI, eMMC, and SGX parts. I also followed steps for beaglebone white on eewiki and *that works*. (Debian, v3.8, my Ubuntu can detect ttyUSB0 correctly, so I guess that is not problem of file system or kernel or my host PC.) I don't know what happened to my beaglebone black, I guess that the problem comes from inittab or uEnv.txt, but I have no idea how to deal with it. (my BBB is Rev.C). If I eject my microSD form BBB, my host PC can detect ttyACM0 (that is a system on eMMC), but I have to use a recompiled kernel rather than Debian on eMMC.

Your getting tricked by a little software trickery. On the original BeagleBone, there was an ftdi based usb-serial chip connected to the usb slave port to give your pc a raw /dev/ttyUSB0 device. On the BeagleBone Black this was removed to save $'s.. However, there is a usb-serial gadget, so we get the kernel to create a usb-serial device (/dev/ttyACM0) in the default image. It's done here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh#L76 That usb gadget section on my eewiki.net page would have enabled that usb-serial gadget too..

[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black Rev. C. Debian: HTML, Javascript, PHP, SQL
I have a BBB.html web-page with a JavaScript program (BBB.js) running behind it that uses node.js to send commands from the web-page to the beaglebone io. I put my JavaScript program in the cloud9 autorun folder so that it starts up automatically on boot. This piece is working just fine. I added an insert.php program to take user input from the html and store it in a sql database. The .php script works when I directly access by hosting it with apache but it does not work when I access it from html page. My question is this: Where in the file structure do I place the insert.php program; can it run within the cloud9 folder where my html file is located? I will post my code later for reference.

If using BeagleBone Black and the image is meant to program your on-board eMMC, you'll need to wait while the programming occurs.

Hi all, I'm facing a problem with my Beaglebone Black. I need to use 10 1-wire busmasters (no way to change this requirement). I made a Device Tree Overlay file that adresses everything in the correct way. I made an overlay, targeting ocp with onewire@0 - onewire@9. But for some reasons, under /sys/devices I only see w1_bus_master1 - w1_bus_master9. The 10th busmaster is missing. Is there any limit in the driver? So far I know, that the max slave count is set to 10 PER busmaster. Maybe there are other limits I don't expected?

Your getting tricked by a little software trickery. On the original BeagleBone, there was an ftdi based usb-serial chip connected to the usb slave port to give your pc a raw /dev/ttyUSB0 device. On the BeagleBone Black this was removed to save $'s.. However, there is a usb-serial gadget, so we get the kernel to create a usb-serial device (/dev/ttyACM0) in the default image. It's done here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh#L76 That usb gadget section on my eewiki.net page would have enabled that usb-serial gadget too..

Re: [beagleboard] ULCD7 Not working on Ubuntu
Hi, I have been trying to enable TSC2007 (ULCD) in Kernel 3.7.10-x13 (Robert Nelson) but having an error in tsc2007.c as follows: tsc2007: probe of 2-0049 failed with error -22 After investigated further discovered that the root of error message seems in /kernel/irq/manage.c in request_threaded_irq function as !irq_settings_can_request.

[beagleboard] Re: Unable to connect to BBB over USB on desktop
If anyone can provide any insight here I'd definitely appreciate it! I'm strongly considering just reformatting my PC but would prefer to avoid that solution for the time being if possible. On Monday, 7 July 2014 21:09:33 UTC-4, ITFK wrote: I purchased a Beaglebone Black (rev. A6) at the end of last year and was highly unsuccessful in getting the board up and running on my desktop PC. Unfortunately, due to work and grad. school commitments I haven't made time to pursue this board any further until now. Now onto the actual problem... I am unable to connect to the default web server over the USB connection on my desktop PC. Up until recently I was able to get the BBB mounted to my PC, however, after some tweaking last night I am now unable to do that either. I only tried very briefly to connect via the RJ45 connector on the board and was unsuccessful in that as well. I will say that I am able to connect to the BBB over USB on my laptop very quickly and easily so I really don't expect this to be a hardware issue. My desktop PC is a Windows 7 64-bit machine that hasn't seen a fresh install in probably 2-3 years. In that time I've run a couple of different development boards (Arduino and a couple of simple PIC setups) plus a ton of other random peripherals. I also currently connect to the internet through a VPN and installed a TAP driver to do so. I have a VM setup through VirtualBox which has an entry in the network adapters section of the device manager labeled VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter. I guess the takeaway here is that I've been using this install for a few years now and have install all kinds of different device drivers for various peripherals that may be conflicting with my BBB. My laptop on the other hand is a new (1 year old) Dell which is also running Windows 7 64-bit but has had far less connected to it. As of early last night I was able to connect the BBB via USB to my desktop PC and see the BBB mounted to my PC. There were entries in the device manager for the Beaglebone (under Portable Devices), the Gadget Serial (under Ports COM LPT), and the Linux RNDIS Ethernet gadget (under Network Adapters and shows up as Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget #2 for some reason). The RNDIS entry showed device error 10 saying that the device was not able to start. I have installed the drivers through the BONE_D64 executable as well as by trying to manually update the driver and point it to the RNDIS driver located at F:\Drivers\Windows\src\files\RNDIS. Later last night I tried uninstalling all of the BBB entries I could find within the device manager (the three I listed above) and used bcdedit to allow the installation of digitally unsigned drivers thinking that perhaps Windows was blocking the install somehow. I restarted my PC, installed the drivers, re-enabled driver integrity checks with bcdedit and restarted my PC once again. This was unsuccessful and I was still unable to get the Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget to start properly. I also tried uninstalling all of the drivers, restarting, installing Code Composer Studio 5.5.0, and restarting again in the hopes that the software would be packaged with a digitally signed set of drivers that would run properly on my machine. Again, this was met with no success and I was still unable to connect to the BBB's internal web server. Lastly, I tried downloading and flashing the BBB with the latest Angstrom image to see if maybe there was some weird interaction between the particular version of Linux on my BBB and my PC (despite it seeming unlikely due to the error with the RNDIS gadget). This last step was again unsuccessful, but I am still able to connect over USB to the BBB's webserver on my laptop. I'd really like to solve this issue asap but I am out of ideas. I will probably be reinstalling Windows in about a month once my new SSD is no longer on back order. I am hoping that there is a solution someone else knows of that will get me up and running faster than that though. Working on my laptop is an option but my desktop has far more RAM which makes it much more appealing when I am running a VM to develop code for the BBB. Hopefully I've provided enough information for someone to give me an idea of what else I could try.

Re: [beagleboard] Disable GUI on debian image
I should also add as a constant tinkerer, I have noticed that apt-get remove / autoremove --purge will *not* completely remove all deps. Perhaps aptitude does a better job, but personally I prefer to use only one package manager Although I think that aptitude is basically just an extension of APT. A very good one fom what I understand though. If you're really anal about what is installed on your headless ( whatever ), it would be best to use Robert's barefs image, and install only what you want.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Unable to connect to BBB over USB on desktop
Unfortunately, I do not know anyone who could possibly troubleshoot this problem without being at the keyboard. Your install is old, and is probably broken in one way or another. I have personally experienced similar issues with the same version of Windows, and my own recourse is just to reinstall. One thing you can do to help facilitate this is to keep the OS separate from your data ( e.g. two partitions, 1 for OS, one for data ). It wont keep the OS from eventually loosing its mind, but it should keep your data safe, and make it very simple to reinstall. Also, for the drivers, I have no idea who actually wrote them but they seem to be a bit inexperienced with windows drivers. As there should be an option to remove existing old drivers. The problem here is when you update your BBB sometimes Windows views the hardware differently, and has no idea how to interact with it. So, you're required to reinstall the drivers, while previous versions stay installed. Confusing Windows even more eventually until it just starts to silently fail. The last time I personally reinstalled was fairly recently. Just before I did however, I booted into safe mode, and did some investigation. Between the two BBB's we have several MSP430 launchpad's and perhaps an old M3 stellaris dev board. I had 10 + old drivers still installed but not being used. Further advice would be to limit what you install on your development workstations. The standard K.I.S.S methodology.

Jonmar, Well, you're not exactly being clear as to what exactly you have under your networking settings for the USB device. On the Windows side. We need to know( on the windows side ) . . 1) What ip address you gave the interface( you already stated ) 2) what subnet mask are you using( not stated ) 3) what is the default gateway set to.( also not stated ).

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Unable to connect to BBB over USB on desktop
Thanks for the reply William. I was hopeful that maybe I was doing something dumb or perhaps just missing something that someone here would be able to easily pickup on and point out to me. I've already started downloading installers for the software I use frequently in order to have a (hopefully) quick and easy reinstall this weekend. I intend to image my OS drive after the reinstall to make things easier the next time this occurs. I do have a separate drive (not just partitions) for my OS and most frequently used programs so I shouldn't lose any important data. If I could convince my fiancee that I need a 5th computer I'd love to have a dedicated machine for development, but until then I suppose I'll have to live with my general purpose desktop machine. I do have a bad tendency to download new software just to play around with it though.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Unable to connect to BBB over USB on desktop
heh, I just have two laptops that I use lately. One is the general purpose do everything system. Mostly, it just runs VLC to play movies, and then virtualbox where I have an x86 Debian install support system for the BBB. I tried dual booting, but for the purpose above . . . it was not working out for me. Mostly because I did not want to install X on my support system. My other system is fairly minimal. No JRE, or java apps period, no Flash, etc Pretty much just firefox, sublime text 2 for editing code, puTTY, x-chat, winrar. The Debian virtual machine does all the cross compiling, and hosts the BBB's rootfs ( NFS root ), while also acting as a Samba server so I can access files on the BBB or support system via mapped network drive from My dev machine. It's a fairly complex setup, but I'm pretty happy with it. On Thu, Jul 10, 2014 at 6:39 PM, ITFK tylerk...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the reply William. I was hopeful that maybe I was doing something dumb or perhaps just missing something that someone here would be able to easily pickup on and point out to me. I've already started downloading installers for the software I use frequently in order to have a (hopefully) quick and easy reinstall this weekend. I intend to image my OS drive after the reinstall to make things easier the next time this occurs. I do have a separate drive (not just partitions) for my OS and most frequently used programs so I shouldn't lose any important data. If I could convince my fiancee that I need a 5th computer I'd love to have a dedicated machine for development, but until then I suppose I'll have to live with my general purpose desktop machine. I do have a bad tendency to download new software just to play around with it though. Maybe I'll try to be a little more selective about what I install next time around :) On Thursday, 10 July 2014 20:11:09 UTC-4, William Hermans wrote: Unfortunately, I do not know anyone who could possibly troubleshoot this problem without being at the keyboard. Your install is old, and is probably broken in one way or another. I have personally experienced similar issues with the same version of Windows, and my own recourse is just to reinstall. One thing you can do to help facilitate this is to keep the OS separate from your data ( e.g. two partitions, 1 for OS, one for data ). It wont keep the OS from eventually loosing its mind, but it should keep your data safe, and make it very simple to reinstall. Also, for the drivers, I have no idea who actually wrote them but they seem to be a bit inexperienced with windows drivers. As there should be an option to remove existing old drivers. The problem here is when you update your BBB sometimes Windows views the hardware differently, and has no idea how to interact with it. So, you're required to reinstall the drivers, while previous versions stay installed. Confusing Windows even more eventually until it just starts to silently fail. The last time I personally reinstalled was fairly recently. Just before I did however, I booted into safe mode, and did some investigation. Between the two BBB's we have several MSP430 launchpad's and perhaps an old M3 stellaris dev board. I had 10 + old drivers still installed but not being used. Further advice would be to limit what you install on your development workstations. The standard K.I.S.S methodology.

Unfortunately, due to work and grad. school commitments I haven't made time to pursue this board any further until now. Now onto the actual problem... I am unable to connect to the default web server over the USB connection on my desktop PC. Up until recently I was able to get the BBB mounted to my PC, however, after some tweaking last night I am now unable to do that either. I only tried very briefly to connect via the RJ45 connector on the board and was unsuccessful in that as well. I will say that I am able to connect to the BBB over USB on my laptop very quickly and easily so I really don't expect this to be a hardware issue. My desktop PC is a Windows 7 64-bit machine that hasn't seen a fresh install in probably 2-3 years. In that time I've run a couple of different development boards (Arduino and a couple of simple PIC setups) plus a ton of other random peripherals. I also currently connect to the internet through a VPN and installed a TAP driver to do so. I have a VM setup through VirtualBox which has an entry in the network adapters section of the device manager labeled VirtualBox
Re: [beagleboard] Transferring the image to the BBB via TFTP- using Yocto openembedded 1.6
Supposedly you're supposed to be able to tftp zImage's now days, I've only ever used uImage. Lately I've stopped using tftp, and only use NFS for the rootfs. John Syn recently made a post on these groups saying zImage does work, and I've read the same a while back from somewhere else. But, I have not tried or tested it personally. Anyway John gave a supposedly working uEnv,txt setup, but again supposedly because I have not tried or tested it myself. So searching these groups for John Syn and uEnv.txt may yield working results for you. Sorry but I do not remember the post topic.
