Re: [beagleboard] UWN-200 WiFi Dongle support in 3.14 kernels...

 DeKay,

 No, unfortunately I have not gotten back to this.  The BBB is my 
 occasional hobby, and I have not had the time recently to get back to 
 things.  And, I am finding it a challenge to keep up with the plethora of 
 snapshots and kernel upgrades...not quite sure what to choose as a stable 
 option so that I can actually do something useful besides flashing 
 snapshots and updating kernels.


Exactly this.

But, I have recently made good on my threat to acquire some TP-Link 
 dongles, so I will try things out when I have a chance (traveling this 
 week, so probably won't get to this for a week or so).

 I am having WLAN problems similar to yours in 3.14: freezes, having to 
 manually bring up the link, etc.  Wired links work fine.  Did you make any 
 progress?  A couple of things I found along the way that might help you or 
 others.


 I'd like to try my scenarios again with the latest 3.14 kernels using the 
 TP-Link.  Have you tried the latest and greatest?


The latest 3.14 kernels, yes.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/e7RVYNowOEQ
 


   Not sure I really care about anything any more besides the Atheros chip 
 sets as everything else seems to be a huge waste of time.


The TP-Link dongle I have is Ooopsing my kernel right now  :-(  

snip
 

 Interesting.  Guess I need to have a look at rfkill, thats a new one on 
 me.  So, are you thinking that in newer kernels (beyond 3.8), the default 
 is to not obey the enable on boot stanzas in /etc/networking/interfaces?  
 That additional stuff is needed?  Can someone confirm or deny this 
 assumption?  Seems a bit odd that this is necessary, but I suppose it would 
 explain the observed behavior.  Has anyone else had this type of problem 
 with enabling wireless interfaces in 3.14 kernels?


What I do know is that my eth0 was completed commented out after I flashed 
my Bone with 3.14, yet the wired network interface came up without issue in 
/etc/network/interfaces.  Now that I think about it, the image I flashed 
for Jessie contains lxqt, so maybe there is kind of tool working behind the 
scenes.  I'm doing everything from a serial console and might not have 
noticed this.

boots his Bone... Ah, I see that connman is working behind the scenes.

 I have a TP-Link dongle that causes the kernel to Ooops, and a 
 ZD1211-based one that doesn't see the outside world even after it gets an 
 IP address via me manually running dhclient wlan0 on it.  I feel your 
 pain.

  
snip
 

 Could this be something with the gateway config having changed in newer 
 kernels?  I can't remember whether I could get to the BBB via WiFi from a 
 machine on the same subnet as I probably was SSHing to the BBB via a 
 hardwired ethernet connection.  It might be interesting to see if you can 
 access the BBB via WiFi from a machine on the same subnet (without a 
 hardwired ethernet connection) if you haven't already done so.


Between crashes on the Atheros stick, I was able to get a network 
connection by bringing it up manually.  

rfkill unblock all
ifconfig wlan0 up
iw wlan0 connect essidname (my network is wide open)
dhclient wlan0

I later found I could also get the network going with the ZD1211 stick with 
the old USB extender cable trick, but I got DUP packets out of it during a 
ping.  Never saw those before, but Google says DUP packets are a sign your 
network setup is a mess.  The Atheros stick, when it worked, never gave DUP 
packets.

 TJF,

 I'd be willing at some point to help you port some code for your project, 


Hello William, welcome at the libpruio project.

I know about many tasks to improve the libpruio package. Some of them might 
be fun for you.
 

 Do you have a quick setup guide for your library ?


Find the installation guide in the documentation at page Preparation 
http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_preparation.html
.

Could you check the documentation text? It seems that you're a native 
speaker with good language skills. You should be able to improve the text a 
lot. (I could mail a pdf version, where you could add your comments.)
 

 Other problem is that I am not exactly a hardware person so much as a 
 software developer, and I am semi new to embedded Linux. The new to embeded 
 Linux part shouldnt be too much of a problem, just means I need to read up 
 on the libc functions available to me. Not being an EE however slows me 
 down greatly however, since I do not want to fry my boards . . .


I'm neither an electronics engineer, nor a programmer, nor an expert on 
embedded systems, nor a native speaker. I think I realy know what you're 
talking about.

I'm looking at the project from the user point of view, evaluating how 
things should work and then do my best to make this happen. And, knowing 
there's no perfect solution, I try to learn from my failures.
 

 As an aside, I must have really really become accustomed to C over the 
 last several years, BASIC syntax hurts my eyes, lol but it was the very 
 first language I picked up 17+ years ago . . . 


Basic isn't the first programming language I used, but for me it's the most 
productive. I'm not speaking about the m$ dialects, which I dislike as 
well, and which I don't use since the middle 80's. (AFAIR QB 4.5 was the 
last one I tested and droped.) But there're other dialects, which are in 
some points more powerful than C, and easier to read for my old eyes.

The libpruio package contains some examples, as you can see at this 
documentation page 
http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_examples.html.
 
I think all code in folder src/c_examples could have a review. But most 
important, there're some examples with grafics output

   - pwm_adc.bas, 
   - osci.bas, 
   - rb_oszi.bas, and 
   - triggers.bas

which I didn't translate to C code jet. My idea was to use cairo grafics 
library, but there might be a more common way to create short and easy C 
code?

Note: libpruio examples should be easy to understand for beginners and 
should have less than 200 lines of code.

Feel free to send further colaboration ideas and discuss details (here or 
PM). Or just make your choice and start.

I've attached the output of systemd-analyze plot  plot.svg on my BBB

less, and that is easily achieved.


There is really no reason not to use systemd, that I am aware of. (There

If you really look back, pre-systemd there was lots of different
projects trying to minimize boot times. They all got faster then
sys-v.. Then Lennart released systemd and really just blew them out of
the water...

I did see a demo of timesys showing off something that booted even

Re: [beagleboard] UWN-200 WiFi Dongle support in 3.14 kernels...

2014-11-11 Thread Brian Anderson
FWIW, I should note that my original problems were on a wheezy image.  I 
switched back and forth between a 3.8 and a 3.14 kernel.  My problems were 
all with the 3.14 kernel.

I am not familiar with jessie as of yet.  So, your problems may be 
modulated by that too besides the kernel.  Does jessie use systemd?  Does 
jessie use a different wireless configuration mechanism than wheezy?  I 
suppose its time to do some research unless someone has already dealt with 
wireless configuration with jessie and cares to weigh in.

The whole point of config-pin and the universal cape was to be able to
play with GPIO pins w/o needing to mess with device tree overlays.

You can already use config-pin with the 3.14 kernel, most of the
universal overlay is part of the default 3.14 device-tree by default
(and you can add more of it in if necessary).

 I'm not sure how to list the current pin mix configuration to validate my

Dig around in /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/

 Where are the output / input pins mapped in the file system?  Should they 
 show up under /sys/class/gpio/gpiochip(0, 32, 64, 96)?

The gpiochip* files are the four banks of GPIO pins.  The individual
pins will show up as a directory if exported by the kernel, something like:

$ ls -1 /sys/class/gpio/
export
gpio110
gpio111
gpio112
gpio113
gpio114
gpio115
gpio116
gpio117
gpio14
gpio15
gpio2
gpio20
...

 I should have file system entries for PWM pins I have enabled in the device 
 tree, but I see nothing under the /sys/class/pwm/ directory.
 
 Is this where the entries should show up?

IIRC how PWM is handled changed in the 3.14 kernel, but I haven't worked
with it yet.  Try searching through the list, I think there have been a
few threads on PWM and the 3.14 kernel.

Re: [beagleboard] GPIO pins and Device Trees with 3.14 kernel

2014-11-11 Thread Peter Gregory
Thanks for the info Charles.

I must have something wrong in my rebuild of the dtb file.
I have no pin entries under /sys/class/gpio.
I'll look around in /sys/kernel/debug/pinctl to see what the current config 
settings are.

All my searches on this forum and the web turn up examples for the 3.8 kernel 
and cape manager.
I've found references to configuring the GPIO pins under 3.14, but no examples 
or explainations of where changes can be verified.
Cape Manager under 3.8 is documented very well.

I found the repository for config-pin, but apt-cache search turned up nothing 
for installing it.
Do I need to compile the source from the repo on the BBB to get config-pin?

Thanks for the info.

logical step.  Thanks a bunch for that useful advice!!

Re: [beagleboard] Re: libpruio (fast and easy D/A - I/O)

2014-11-11 Thread William Hermans
Back in the early to mid 80's I was living in Kitzingen,Germany, and I was
young. If you catch my meaning.

But anyway, I am still a bit busy, but perhaps in my spare time I can read
your documentation a bit at a time to be used to it. It is something I've
been wanting to do for a while now . . .

On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 6:06 AM, TJF jeli.freih...@gmail.com wrote:

 TJF,

 I'd be willing at some point to help you port some code for your project,


 Hello William, welcome at the libpruio project.

 I know about many tasks to improve the libpruio package. Some of them
 might be fun for you.


 Do you have a quick setup guide for your library ?


 Find the installation guide in the documentation at page Preparation
 http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_preparation.html
 .

 Could you check the documentation text? It seems that you're a native
 speaker with good language skills. You should be able to improve the text a
 lot. (I could mail a pdf version, where you could add your comments.)


 Other problem is that I am not exactly a hardware person so much as a
 software developer, and I am semi new to embedded Linux. The new to embeded
 Linux part shouldnt be too much of a problem, just means I need to read up
 on the libc functions available to me. Not being an EE however slows me
 down greatly however, since I do not want to fry my boards . . .


 I'm neither an electronics engineer, nor a programmer, nor an expert on
 embedded systems, nor a native speaker. I think I realy know what you're
 talking about.

 I'm looking at the project from the user point of view, evaluating how
 things should work and then do my best to make this happen. And, knowing
 there's no perfect solution, I try to learn from my failures.


 As an aside, I must have really really become accustomed to C over the
 last several years, BASIC syntax hurts my eyes, lol but it was the very
 first language I picked up 17+ years ago . . .


 Basic isn't the first programming language I used, but for me it's the
 most productive. I'm not speaking about the m$ dialects, which I dislike as
 well, and which I don't use since the middle 80's. (AFAIR QB 4.5 was the
 last one I tested and droped.) But there're other dialects, which are in
 some points more powerful than C, and easier to read for my old eyes.

 The libpruio package contains some examples, as you can see at this
 documentation page
 http://users.freebasic-portal.de/tjf/Projekte/libpruio/doc/html/_cha_examples.html.
 I think all code in folder src/c_examples could have a review. But most
 important, there're some examples with grafics output

- pwm_adc.bas,
- osci.bas,
- rb_oszi.bas, and
- triggers.bas

 which I didn't translate to C code jet. My idea was to use cairo grafics
 library, but there might be a more common way to create short and easy C
 code?

 Note: libpruio examples should be easy to understand for beginners and
 should have less than 200 lines of code.

 Feel free to send further colaboration ideas and discuss details (here or
 PM). Or just make your choice and start.

[beagleboard] Reccomended Development Linux

2014-11-11 Thread Walter Schilling
Good afternoon:

I am getting ready to teach a class using the Beaglebone Black for a set of 
college students.  Last year we were caught in the short supply of the 
black boards, so I'm getting started  abit earlier.  However, I'm trying to 
figure out the best distro and cross compilation environment to use.  Last 
year I used a Ubuntu distro with the Debian image and while things went OK, 
there were some quirks.  Based on feedback, I was planning on switching to 
a Debian distro, and I started building a VM for them to use for this 
purpose.  However, it seems as if Debian is no longer including the 
gcc-arm-Linux-gnueabihf package, and many of the sites have indicated this 
is now obsolete.

With that being the case, what is the current recommended cross compiler 
and platform for Beaglebone Black development?

  This starts to be a in different realm and the competition is more

  likely that I just don't understand the landscape. Dual Gb ethernet
  will attract a lot of attention for server/firewall/IDS/IPS.
 
 I think the feature set of the X15 is almost comparable to the
 OMAP5432EVM (which AFAIR was originally planned to become
 a PandaBoard 5):
 
 http://www.svtronics.com/5432
 
 So this seems to confirm the price range $200-400...

X15 not interesting at this price range. Plus some of the features
are really vaporware as it's likely they remain in their software
blackhole, as mentioned earlier.
Maybe not as bad as you think. I had a discussion on the linux-omap
mailing list and TI have RPMSG/REMOTEPROC working on the AM572x processor
and will push this to mainline early 2015.

http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/setting-up-eclipse-on-the-beaglebone-for-c-development/

This is a fairly good guide, and I pretty much followed it exactly using
Lubuntu 14.04. Maybe a few small changes here and there, most mostly due to
armel versus armhf differences.

Lubuntu by the way, is exactly Ubuntu, but with a less graphics intensive
Desktop ( LXDE instead of the garbage Ubuntu ships with - Unity ).

My own very rough text install notes . . .

Download Lubuntu 14.04 i386 iso
 Download UNetbootin
 Run UNetbootin - select Diskimage - select downloaded Lubuntu ISO -
 select correct USB drive - click OK
 reboot computer
 enter BIOS change boot priority to USB memory
 save and exit
 select install Lubuntu
 Installation typ page - select intall Lbuntu alongside windows 7
 Intall Lubuntu alongside windows 7 page - make necessary adjustments -
 Lubuntu needs atleast 20GB to be usable, and 40GB or mroe would be better.
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install cairo-dock xcompmgr
 sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
 At the end, add these lines :
 @xcompmgr
 @cairo-dock

 sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
 add the following line: net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
 sudo sysctl -p
 **
 sudo apt-get install openssh-server
 **
 sudo apt-get install build-essential

 sudo apt-get install eclipse
 run eclipse - select a workspace

So right now there's a binutils for armhf in debian jessie:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

However the gcc cross compiler is still stuck in sid:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/cpp-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf

So once that migrates to jessie (if it migrates) you'll have matching
armhf cross gcc/binutils/libs that can used to cross build projects

 I did see a demo of timesys showing off something that booted even

Maxim, for distro's like Debian which is slow moving for stability reason.
I would imagine the Debian team wants the technology proven before they
make the leap. From what I understand, the next iteration of Debian *will*
include systemd, and it is an apt-get-able package for wheezy right now.

Also according to what I've read, it will work right along side SYSV, or at
least init scripts, with no harm to anything, except perhaps slower boot
times ( versus just using systemd by its self ).

If you really want to know about it, I would suggest you do a bit of
googling. There is lots of information out there about it, it is just that
I have not been able to find a decent simple example of how to setup
services yet. This is either because I'm not searching for the correct
thing, or the documentation on the whole process is jut limited right now.

The key point, is if Debian is going to move to using it, it is probably
worth researching yourself.

 I think the feature set of the X15 is almost comparable to the
 OMAP5432EVM (which AFAIR was originally planned to become
 a PandaBoard 5):

 So this seems to confirm the price range $200-400...

 X15 not interesting at this price range. Plus some of the features
 are really vaporware as it's likely they remain in their software
 blackhole, as mentioned earlier.

At least vent your frustration to the correct people:

http://www.imgtec.com/

They are the ones who don't want to support their ip found in TI
products..
I guess if enough users way in and convince IMGTEC to support Linux
mainline, they may rethink their reluctance to support the open source
community. Post your comments on:

[beagleboard] Netinstall for Wheezy on Beagleboard xM

2014-11-11 Thread Paulo Sherring
Hi all.
I am trying to use Netinstall script, provided here 
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall ( Thanks to you, mr Robert C. 
Nelson, for the great job!).
I managed to run just fine the installer but, when I am supposed to select 
a disk for install, I get no disk available. Don't know if I am getting 
something wrong here, but i wish I could create a SD card for my 
architecture with a bootable Debian wheezy.
Up to the disk selection, everything run smoothly.
What am I getting wrong?

Thanks!
Paulo Sherring.

Very odd, as you need the disk to load the debian-installer...  What
brand/type of microSD card are you using? With the current v3.17.x
some sandisk's mmc have been failing for me.

First try a different microSD, otherwise pass --use-beta-kernel
which will pull in v3.18.x instead. (we will be migrating to v3.18.x
pretty quickly..)

  Good afternoon: 
  
  I am getting ready to teach a class using the Beaglebone Black for a

  college students.  Last year we were caught in the short supply of the 
 black 
  boards, so I'm getting started  abit earlier.  However, I'm trying to 
 figure 
  out the best distro and cross compilation environment to use.  Last 
 year I 
  used a Ubuntu distro with the Debian image and while things went OK, 
 there 
  were some quirks.  Based on feedback, I was planning on switching to a 
  Debian distro, and I started building a VM for them to use for this 
 purpose. 
  However, it seems as if Debian is no longer including the 
  gcc-arm-Linux-gnueabihf package, and many of the sites have indicated 
 this 
  is now obsolete. 
  
  With that being the case, what is the current recommended cross 
 compiler and 
  platform for Beaglebone Black development? 
  
  So right now there's a binutils for armhf in debian jessie: 
  
  https://packages.debian.org/jessie/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf 
  
  However the gcc cross compiler is still stuck in sid: 
  
  https://packages.debian.org/sid/cpp-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf 
  
  So once that migrates to jessie (if it migrates) you'll have matching 
  armhf cross gcc/binutils/libs that can used to cross build projects 
  for the bbb running jessie. 

 Based on: 

 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766626 

 This delay is expected.. So for users which to cross build packages, 
 running Debian Jessie on the desktop (amd64 only) and running debian 
 jessie on the bbb (1), they'll have matching gcc/lib/etc..

Nice work Nishanth!

This has to be one of the fastest mainline enabled arm kits ever!

[beagleboard] Start working on a Project

2014-11-11 Thread geekswine
Hi,
I have worked on arduino and atmega16a before. In my past the only 
experience I have is in making a library for interfacing lcd jhd162a for 
atmega 16a. I have gone through the BBB manual. I will be getting BBB in 1 
month. I have gone through the ideas of many projects listed on 
beagleboard.org, but since I am a newbie to BBB, I am not getting that from 
which project should I start contributing to. Till I get my BBB is there 
any way (theoretical or simulation) by which I start contributing to any 
project in beagleboard org? Is there any bug to be fixed to any project 
where I can start working and learn more about it and help in contributing. 
Please help.
Looking forward to working with beagleboard org.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: PRU0 base address

2014-11-11 Thread Karl Karpfen
OK, solved, using this initialisation PRU is at least initialised:

   HWREG(SOC_PRM_PER_REGS)|=0x0002;
   HWREG(SOC_PRM_PER_REGS)|=0xFFFD;

   HWREG(SOC_CM_PER_REGS+CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKCTRL)=0x0002;

 
HWREG(SOC_CM_PER_REGS+CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKSTCTRL)=(CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKSTCTRL_OCP_GCLK|CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKSTCTRL_IEP_GCLK);

   memcpy((void*)PRU0IRAM_PHYS_BASE,textbuf,textlen);
   memcpy((void*)DATARAM0_PHYS_BASE,databuf,datalen);
   HWREG(PRU0CONTROL_PHYS_BASE+PRU_CTRL)=0x0002; // enable and execute
- PRUSS_CFG_BASE instead of PRU0CONTROL_PHYS_BASE?

Afterwards CTRL-register contains 0x8003 which means PRU is executing
something.

2014-11-10 9:38 GMT+01:00 Karl Karpfen karlkarpfe...@gmail.com:

 OK, seems I have to clarify this a bit: in my environment no Linux is
 involved, I'm digging within the hardware directly.

 What I found meanwhile: some clocks have to be enabled. But setting
 CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKCTRL to 0x0002 and CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKSTCTRL to
 0x0010 (=CM_PER_PRU_ICSS_CLKSTCTRL_OCP_GCLK) did not do the trick.

 Any other ideas?

 :

 The PRU does need to be enabled, typically by a Device Tree entry similar
 to this:

 fragment@4 {
 target = pruss;
 __overlay__ {
 status = okay;
 };
 };

 If using a cape of some kind, this would normally be in the device tree
 setup for that cape.
 If it's your own custom cape, you would need to add this to your device
 tree file.
 There may also be a suitable device tree overlay already installed in
 /lib/firmware that you can simply enable, but I don't have my BBB in front
 of me right now to check.

 OK, the base address seems to be correct. Nevertheless CTRL-register isn
 ot readable, so it seems some important PRU-initialisations are missing. So
 is there any clock or power that has to be turned on for PRU?

 OK, I'm sure it is a stupid question but I don't find it in AM335x
 TRM...there the offset of PRU_CTRL-register is defined with 0x. But
 what is the base address? I found a definition 0x4a322000 in one of
 Starterware headers but this seems to be wrong.

 So what is correct base address for PRU0 registers and RAM areas?
