Re: [beagleboard] Transferring the image to the BBB via TFTP- using Yocto openembedded 1.6

 Hi William and John ,
   Thanks for reply!!!
 The uEnv.txt that you have shared across uses the 
 kernel_file=zImage 
 and initrd_file=initrd.img but after the compilation of the yocto distro 
 1.6 instead of zImage I get the uImage. How to obtain the zImage ?and where 
 can I find the initrd.img???

 Regards,
 Gibson


I am a bit confused what you are trying to do. 

I assume you made a standard Yocto build for the beagle bone black. Do you 
want to load the kernel and flat device tree over tftp and the rootfs over 
nfs?

Yocto should spit our a uImage and a fdt. [1]

I am not sure networking and nfs support is compiled into the uImage.

This uEnv.txt [2] might help with the right kernel config

Do you still have the problem with loading over tftp?

Can you ping the machine which runs your tftp server from u-boot?

Can you manually load uImage from u-boot?

tftp 0x8030 full_path_to_u-boot_where_tftp_exports_it


in my case:

tftp 0x8030 beagle-bone-black/uImage

[beagleboard] Re: How does one find the TCP address of a BBB ?

2014-07-11 Thread serge . nsk14



 I hooked up an ethernet cable between my BBB  my network hub, and tried 
 to access the web page at *192.168.7.2 *as directed.


To communicate with the BBB at 172.168.7.2 no Ethernet cable is needed. USB 
connection only.
(ans as far as I remember, not any Windows LAN configuration - everything 
goes PNP at USB driver installation)

Another case should be if you connected 2 or more BBBs.. :)

[beagleboard] Disable framebuffer console

2014-07-11 Thread Artem Popov
Hardware: Beaglebone black + embest LCD7
Software: TI rootfs + RCN kernel 3.8.13 with sgx modules and xenomai. 
Kernel config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7779382/

I want to disable login prompt and console on LCD display. If I disable 
Framebuffer Console support in kernel config, framebuffer is not working 
at all. No Tux logo on start, Qt and SGX examples don't write any errors, 
but don't work, even cat /dev/urandom  /dev/fb0 shows nothing. 
If I enable framebuffer console, everything works good, but with login 
prompt on screen and /dev/tty1 device assigned to it.
What is the correct way to disable it?

Re: [beagleboard] ULCD7 Not working on Ubuntu

Hi again,

Just let you know about a quick solution on this issue. 

Try to use request_irq() instead of request_threaded_irq(), this solves the 
issue and you will get the irq function called when press the screen. 
However, you need to modify the remaining part of driver file to handle 
press sequences in a proper way.

CAN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller_Area_Network is fast, but not 
that fast. The maximum bit speed is 1 Mbit/s with the current standard 
ISO11898. The next generation, called CAN FD is expected to work up to 8 
Mbit/s. In industrial applications a set of bit rates is defined 
http://www.can-cia.org/index.php?id=158 e.g. for CANopen by the CAN in

[beagleboard] enabling the BBxM to start in 'ro' mode

2014-07-11 Thread Leonardo Gabrielli
Hello,
I'd need the SD image I prepared for the xM to be supplied to people 
without them changing a single bit in it. Also, this avoids write failure 
with power supply failures and increases the life of the SD.
From my understanding this can be done by mounting the rootfs as read-only 
at some point in the boot and writing any change to the RAM without making 
them persistent. But I'm not expert in the bootstrap process with Linux. 

The only similar case I know in detail so far is with Ubuntu 10.10 
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~eberdahl/satellite/ and it has two uInitrd 
images for boot, one with aufs enable and the other without. They only 
differ in a couple of scripts and if one wants changes to be persistents it 
is enough to mv files in the boot partition in order for the bootloader to 
pick the right one.

Now, I'm using debian and the rcn-ee builds. Here the boot partition is 
different it uses initrd.img and zImage. I'm not sure what to do here since 
it is a different boot method. 
Are there any suggestions on how to reach my goal? Any simple solution, 
even performed with an init script after bootstrap would be fine as a 
starter.

Regards

 Hi Guys,

 I just pushed out some new images for testing.

 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-07-10

 There's now two images, the lxde image which you'll find by default
 in the eMMC, and the console image for users who want a basic bare
 bones image. It has just enough to flash the eMMC, thus it's not as
 light as it could be:

 debian@beaglebone:~$ df -h
 Filesystem  Size  Used
 Avail Use% Mounted on
 rootfs  1.8G  289M  1.4G  18% 
 /

 The other massive change, we had a request to clean up the boot
 partition, so i went a little overboard over the holiday weekend. At
 least i wrote up the spec, so here it is:

 http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:U-boot_partitioning_layout_2.0

 This allows us to do some cool things, like easily install debian'
 jessie's kernel and boot with it. The only requirement is to update
 the uname_r variable in /boot/uEnv.txt

Oh and the other big update, repos.rcn-ee.net is now live. so:

which means:

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo apt-cache search linux-image | grep bone
linux-image-3.13.11-bone12 - Linux kernel, version 3.13.11-bone12
linux-image-3.15.4-bone4 - Linux kernel, version 3.15.4-bone4
linux-image-3.15.5-bone4 - Linux kernel, version 3.15.5-bone4
linux-image-3.16.0-rc4-bone0 - Linux kernel, version 3.16.0-rc4-bone0
linux-image-3.8.13-bone58 - Linux kernel, version 3.8.13-bone58
linux-image-3.8.13-bone59 - Linux kernel, version 3.8.13-bone59
linux-image-3.8.13-bone60 - Linux kernel, version 3.8.13-bone60

debian@beaglebone:~$ sudo apt-cache search linux-headers | grep bone
linux-headers-3.13.11-bone12 - Linux kernel headers for 3.13.11-bone12 on armhf
linux-headers-3.15.4-bone4 - Linux kernel headers for 3.15.4-bone4 on armhf
linux-headers-3.15.5-bone4 - Linux kernel headers for 3.15.5-bone4 on armhf
linux-headers-3.16.0-rc4-bone0 - Linux kernel headers for
3.16.0-rc4-bone0 on armhf
linux-headers-3.8.13-bone58 - Linux kernel headers for 3.8.13-bone58 on armhf
linux-headers-3.8.13-bone59 - Linux kernel headers for 3.8.13-bone59 on armhf
linux-headers-3.8.13-bone60 - Linux kernel headers for 3.8.13-bone60 on armhf

Just make sure to still use:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
sudo ./update_kernel.sh

as that'll also update the uname_r variable automatically.

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglexm

2014-07-11 Thread Gerald Coley
As long as people place orders. Give them time to build it. They will build
it. They are not building them on speculation of need.

Since BB come out the other three boards have dropped off significantly.
I don't think e have built any of the original boards in 3 years or so.
But, if somene orders them we can build them.

We shipped about 35,000 xM boards and so far 172,000 BeagleBone Blacks.

 Gerald, what is the support lifetime from CircuitCo for the BBxM? I've
 always been happy with mine, and it is has been a great little board.  What
 have the orders been like for the original BeagleBoard since the BBxM came
 out?  Have you built any of the original BeagleBoards within the past few
 years? I've always been curious about how many people are interested in the
 older boards as reference platforms versus newcomers to the community that
 stick to only the newer platforms.

 We no longer make the xM on a regular basis. We do not sell that many at

 We then have to schedule them in a couple of times per year.

 How many boards are you looking for?

 Hi William and John ,
   Thanks for reply!!!
 The uEnv.txt that you have shared across uses the
 kernel_file=zImage and initrd_file=initrd.img but after the compilation of
 the yocto distro 1.6 instead of zImage I get the uImage. How to obtain the
 zImage ?and where can I find the initrd.img???
You can load uImage if you want, just change bootz to bootm in your uEnv.txt
file.
 
 Regards,
 Gibson
 
 I am a bit confused what you are trying to do.
 
 I assume you made a standard Yocto build for the beagle bone black. Do you
 want to load the kernel and flat device tree over tftp and the rootfs over
 nfs?
 
 Yocto should spit our a uImage and a fdt. [1]
 
 I am not sure networking and nfs support is compiled into the uImage.
When building the Linux Kernel, you have to disable Initrd in the kernel
config.

Regards,
John
 
 
 This uEnv.txt [2] might help with the right kernel config
 
 Do you still have the problem with loading over tftp?
 
 Can you ping the machine which runs your tftp server from u-boot?
 
 Can you manually load uImage from u-boot?
 
 tftp 0x8030 full_path_to_u-boot_where_tftp_exports_it
 
 in my case:
 
 tftp 0x8030 beagle-bone-black/uImage

 if i send bytes am getting the following issues
 1. Delay between the first byte and second byte  is around 18us
 2. Inter byte delay around 400ns
 3. cs hold time is around 127us
  
 can someone please help me to reduce this
Are you talking to SPI via SPIDEV or are you using a Kernel Module or Device

 I hooked up an ethernet cable between my BBB  my network hub, and tried

 To communicate with the BBB at 172.168.7.2 no Ethernet cable is needed. 
 USB connection only.
 (ans as far as I remember, not any Windows LAN configuration - everything 
 goes PNP at USB driver installation)

 Another case should be if you connected 2 or more BBBs.. :)


Okay ...

I disconnected the ethernet cable and only have the USB cable (the USB-A to 
micro-usb cable[plugged into P4] that came with my BBB) connected to my BBB.

I tried accessing both *192.168.7.1*  *192.168.7.2* and both web page 
accesses timed out :-(

I have only the one BBB that I am trying to get functional.

Any other suggestions ?
