[beagleboard] Kernel-3.14.25 USB hub issue

2014-12-03 Thread Abd
Hello all.
I originally moved from 3.8.13 to 3.14.17 to grant cryptography 
capabilities of the new kernel, and everything seemed okay until I had an 
issue regarding USB Babble interrupts. I could test for babble cases 
reliably as described here 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg107573.html.
With kernel 3.14.17, when the Babble occurs, the log enters an endless loop 
of:

[ 121.501538] CAUTION: musb: Babble Interrupt Occurred 
[ 121.506785] musb_stage0_irq 789: unhandled DISCONNECT transition 
(a_wait_bcon)

and I could only escape this loop by detaching and attaching the device.

However, I moved to 3.14.25 that seems to pass the Babble test, I could 
plug/unplug various devices and everything seemed okay. I connected a USB 
hub (powered) and I could reach it, but not the devices attached to it:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0424:2514 Standard Microsystems Corp. USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

When I tried to reset the USB hub, I kept getting these two lines until I 
detach the USB cable:

[  181.632279] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using musb-hdrc
[  181.751895] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Please find a full log of the 3.14.25 attached.
Thank you for your time and help.
Best Regards,
Abd

Re: [beagleboard] recommended linux distribution for BBB ?

2014-12-03 Thread ivo welch

thank you.  it is good to have this info here, because it will be more easy 
to google.  I just searched a while longer on google to see where I 
overlooked obvious info on the recommended distro.  it definitely isn't 
that obvious.  all I could find was that since april, the BBB ships with 
debian.  (even though I purchased mine later, they still had angstrom on 
it.)  thanks again.  will flash now...

in general, it is hard for newbies to figure out what is on elinux and what 
is on beagleboard.org.  moreover, unless one has perfect memory, rereading 
both sites when google fails is impossible.  maybe I am just too old...

(I know how to install normal linux on ordinary PCs.  the magic that I see, 
compared to a PC distro, is in making the USB port come up as a network. 
 the ubuntu distro may work, but gave me the aforementioned trouble when 
out of the box.)

Re: [beagleboard] SPI : More CS lines

2014-12-03 Thread motard59
Thank you for your answer Mickae1.

But I know how to use SPI with device tree overlay (I use it that way for 
my first lcd). I was wondering if it could be possible to declare a simple 
GPIO pin (via DTO for example) as a CS one. It would allow me to work with 
fbtft driver without having to alter it.

Never mind, I am writing a new driver (called by dto) to emulate more CS 
pins. I will see if it can work at the required speed.

 Hi,

 I have to connect 2 lcd on a BBB via SPI interfaces (I use fbtft driver). 
 I can only use SPI0 because SPI1 pins are used by I2C for cape eeprom.
 The problem is that SPI0 has only one CS pin. Is it possible to tell the 
 SPI driver to use a GPIO pin as another CS line ?
 Am I forced to write a full driver to emulate CS with a GPIO pin ?

 Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: apt-get install 'Something wicked happened...'

2014-12-03 Thread William Hermans
Come to think of it I did run into this problem once a long time ago, and
for me


*$ sudo apt-get update*
fixed the problem for me personally. A rookie mistake I made in a hurry
while trying to install packages without updating after a fresh install as
I recall.

I'd hesitate deleting the apt-lock file as this may be in place
intentionally to avoid problematic packages. In this case I'd wait for
input from Robert first.

Re: [beagleboard] recommended linux distribution for BBB ?

2014-12-03 Thread William Hermans
ivo, heh welcome to the old person memory failing club. But really most of
this information sticks when you're very active in using the hardware /
Linux distribution in question.

The only real differences between these Linux hardware platform wise are
all related to boot loaders. Otherwise, so long as the packages you need
exist for armhf, they're near identical.

As for the usbnet stuff, if you google usbnet and / or g_ether or
g_multi you can find plenty of information on the subject. for setup, and
usage etc. The kernel driver module for only usb networking is g_ether
specifically. if you need / want usb networking, serial, and the neeto mass
storage usb gadget, then g_multi is what you want / need. Do keep in mind,
only one gadget driver can be loaded at one time.

Debian is also updated monthly by Robert Nelson from these groups AFAIK . .
. who also maintains the official images.

 full HD  monitor.  the reason why I suspect this is a beaglebone issue is
 that the same weird issue has also occurred on a DELL monitor.  solid on
 13.10, flicker on 14.04:

 ubuntu 13.10 ubuntu-armhf: the asus monitor tells me it selects a mode
 of 1680x1050 65KHz 60Hz.  (solid)

 ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS arm: the asus monitor tells me it selects a mode of
 1280x1024 64KHz 60Hz.  (flicker)

 apparently, the command to control the linux framebuffer is fbset.  by
 itself, it tells me the current resolution.  (there is no edid or
 resolution info in /var/log/syslog as far as I can tell.)  this is working.

 changing the framebuffer resolution is another matter, though.

 fbset -xres 1920 -yres 1080 tells me that this is an ioctl
 FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument.  choosing a smaller resolution, like
 fbset -xres 640 -yres 480 leaves the current screen-res, but just displays
 on the top, so it does not really change the resolution at run-time.

 are there any ways to change the BBB resolution at run-time?

 PS: (interestingly, X is not included in the images, although the distro
 only uses about 370MB of 2GB or eMMC.  I am not complaining---thanks to
 whoever packaged it, of course.)

Re: [beagleboard] monitor fb (flickering and resolution) on ubuntu 13.10 vs 14.04

2014-12-03 Thread William Hermans
As for X not being installed, judging by the size of your image, it sounds
like you installed a console image. Which in my own option means you can
install LXDE manually ( or x-manager of choice ). Again, in my opinion is
better than starting with the LXDE image which is loaded / bloated with
software.

Robert also has an image resize script somewhere on those images, assuming
you're using a bb.org testing / official image. Somewhere, but I do not
know much about it, I use nfs root, and do all my own resizing manually
using dd and / or tar.

 Note the * cmdline=video=* comment by Robert. However, as with anything
 Linux, it is *very important* that you do not put your hardware into a
 mode it can not handle. SO make sure you know what you're doing before you
 make this change.

[beagleboard] gpio works in system but not in hardware

2014-12-03 Thread andreas . christ
Hi,

i test with selfcompiled kernels (3.16.5 and 3.18.0).
I can export gpio-pins and can set/unset the values for direction and value 
in the /sys/class/gpio.
But on the beagleboard no pin change his state.
I.e. i will change the pin 9 on the P8-plug then i use the follow commands 
in the gpio-directory
echo 136  export
echo out  ./gpio136/direction
echo 1  ./gpio136/value

With 
cat ./gpio136/value
it returns the value 1. Thats ok. But the pin on the board to stay at 
low-level.

The board works fine with a prebuild linux-installation i.e. ubuntu.

Bye Andreas

 (even though I purchased mine later, they still had angstrom on it.)  thanks

 in general, it is hard for newbies to figure out what is on elinux and what
 is on beagleboard.org.  moreover, unless one has perfect memory, rereading
 both sites when google fails is impossible.  maybe I am just too old...

Images on beagleboard.org are official, tested, etc.

However if you would actually have booted the debian image from
beagleboard.org, you would have noticed a site listed over
ssh/serial/etc.. That mentioned a place for faq's on elinux:

FAQ: http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian

Now if you go to that site, you'll noticed unofficial snapshots of
newer images below that.

Re: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black and Audio Cape Rev B

Subject:  Re: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black and
Audio Cape Rev B

 Hi John,
 
 Have you tried to record with external microphone?
You have to bias the microphone, but the audio cape didn’t implement the
microphone bias circuitry so you will have to bias the microphone externally
for it to work. If you search for the TLV320AIC3106EVM schematic, you can
see how to bias the microphone.
 
 The recording works fine if I connect the Audio Cape directly to the speaker
 source (a tablet) with a male-to-male 3.5mm cable. In case of using external
 microphone, the Audacity Frequency Analysis shows there is no frequency that
 is higher than 3KHz.
 I tried the same test with USB Sound Card and it works fine.
I haven’t checked the audio bandwidth, but if I use a sampling rate of
96KHz, the audio quality sounds fine.
 
 Do you have some special setting for alsamixer?
The only settings I change is Press F4 for Capture, make “Line Line2 Bypass”
= 100 and “PGA” = 50

Here is the command I use:

arecord -c1 -f S32_LE -r 96000 -t wav -vv test.wav
or
aplay -C -c1 -f S32_LE -r 96000 -t wav -vv test.wav

I use the second command because my debugger gets confused when loading
alsa-util debug symbols. After all, arecord is just a soft link to aplay.

Regards,
John
 
 Thanks,
 Dustin

 The clock is wrong. For some reason the clock clock rate is not

 If you change the clock to 24MHz in your dts, it will work as expected.
 I¹m not sure that is how this is supposed to work. Surely the DTS defines
 the clock rate rather than reflecting the clock rate? My guess is that the
 ALSA subsystem is reading the DTS codec-clock-rate, but the MCASP_AHCLKX
 isn¹t been set correctly by the MCASP code and simply defaulting to 24MHz.

  Subject: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black
and 
  Audio Cape Rev B
  
  
  Hi All,
  
  We tried the Audio Cape Rev B with BeagleBone Black. The kernel
 version
  is 3.14.17 (https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git branch
  am33x-v3.14)
  
  We was able to play and record via the Audio Cape. If we record
and 
 play 
  the file via the Audio Cape, it works fine. But when we move the
 recorded
  file to other machine or play it via the USB Sound Card, the speed
 of the
  recorded file seems 1.5 time slower than it really is.
  
  On the board, we recorded the audio with
  arecord -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 /tmp/1.raw
  
  Then, we playback the file with command
  aplay -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 /tmp/1.raw
  
  1/ On x86 machine, the voice become very slow. If we change the
 sampling
  rate to 63000, it is played close to the real voice we recorded.
  2/ Trying with a USB Sound Card plugged directly to the board.
  aplay -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 -D plughw:1,0 /tmp/1.raw
  We saw the same issue as seen on x86 machine
  
  It seems that there is something wrong with the sampling rate
 clock. 
 May 
  anyone please give some suggestions
  
  I¹ve seen the same problem when recording on the BBB and then
 playing 
  the same file on my Ubuntu Desktop. Not sure why this happens. I¹m
 using 
  3.15.10-bone8.
  
  Regards,
  John

[beagleboard] Canbus modules freezing up BeagleBone Black Rev C

2014-12-03 Thread m@
I've got a BeagleBone Black Rev C, with a canbus cape. It works great but 
occasionally the BeagleBone will freeze up during boot up and I've found 
that it's when the can modules are being loaded. I have been able to 
capture some information within /var/log/messages, but it's pretty much 
greek to me! Does anybody have any insight?

[beagleboard] How to speed up Beaglebone Black

2014-12-03 Thread Vitali Coltuclu
Hello Everyone,

I am trying to build a sensor using Beaglebone Black (BBB) and Python and I 
would like to get as many data points as possible from the sensor. Using 
the code below, I get around 120 000 points per second.

import Adafruit_BBIO_GPIO as GPIO
import time 

GPIO.setup(P8_11, GPIO.IN)

def get_data(n):
start_time = time.time()
my_list = [GPIO.input(P8_11) for i in range(n)]
end_time = time.time() - start_time
print Time: {}.format(end-time)
return my_list

n = 12
get_data(n)

I am wondering if it is possible to speed up BBB, ideally to get the rate 
of 1 MHz. What are the options to do that?

Thanks,
Vitlai

dear bbb experts.   

 

for the beaglebone black: 

 

I was playing around with the ubuntu 14.04 and 13.10 images, but this may not 
be the right route.  (on ubuntu, I can't get the fb to work right, X is not 
installed, and it does not come up as 192.168.7.2.  so, maybe I was going too 
exotic.)  are the linux distributions on http://beagleboard.org/latest-images 
the two preferred distributions, as of late 2014?  if so, the two distroes seem 
to be either debian or angstrom.  the debian distro is about 7 months old,  the 
angstrom one is about 1.5 years old (although the flasher is 3 months younger 
than the distro).  their ages seem curiously dated.  but if it works, it works!

 

what do jason and other BBB key developers use?  is angstrom or debian now the 
right supported mass choice?

 /dev/ttyGS0 mean when your otg port connect to another host , like PC in

 if your usb-serial adapter connected , you will get /dev/ttyUSB0 in
 common case.

Re: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black and Audio Cape Rev B

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for your detail instruction. We will try with the external

 Subject: Re: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black and
 Audio Cape Rev B

 Hi John,

 Have you tried to record with external microphone?

 You have to bias the microphone, but the audio cape didn't implement the
 microphone bias circuitry so you will have to bias the microphone
 externally for it to work. If you search for the TLV320AIC3106EVM
 schematic, you can see how to bias the microphone.


 The recording works fine if I connect the Audio Cape directly to the
 speaker source (a tablet) with a male-to-male 3.5mm cable. In case of using
 external microphone, the Audacity Frequency Analysis shows there is no
 frequency that is higher than 3KHz.
 I tried the same test with USB Sound Card and it works fine.

 I haven't checked the audio bandwidth, but if I use a sampling rate of
 96KHz, the audio quality sounds fine.


 Do you have some special setting for alsamixer?

 The only settings I change is Press F4 for Capture, make Line Line2
 Bypass = 100 and PGA = 50

 Here is the command I use:

 arecord -c1 -f S32_LE -r 96000 -t wav -vv test.wav
 or
 aplay -C -c1 -f S32_LE -r 96000 -t wav -vv test.wav

 I use the second command because my debugger gets confused when loading
 alsa-util debug symbols. After all, arecord is just a soft link to aplay.

 Regards,
 John


 Thanks,
 Dustin

 Hello,
 
 The clock is wrong. For some reason the clock clock rate is not

 If you change the clock to 24MHz in your dts, it will work as expected.
 I¹m not sure that is how this is supposed to work. Surely the DTS defines
 the clock rate rather than reflecting the clock rate? My guess is that
 the
 ALSA subsystem is reading the DTS codec-clock-rate, but the MCASP_AHCLKX
 isn¹t been set correctly by the MCASP code and simply defaulting to
 24MHz.

  Subject: [beagleboard] Audio capture issue with BeagleBone Black

  Audio Cape Rev B
 
 
  Hi All,
 
  We tried the Audio Cape Rev B with BeagleBone Black. The kernel
 version
  is 3.14.17 (https://github.com/RobertCNelson/bb-kernel.git branch
  am33x-v3.14)
 
  We was able to play and record via the Audio Cape. If we record and
 play
  the file via the Audio Cape, it works fine. But when we move the
 recorded
  file to other machine or play it via the USB Sound Card, the speed
 of the
  recorded file seems 1.5 time slower than it really is.
 
  On the board, we recorded the audio with
  arecord -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 /tmp/1.raw
 
  Then, we playback the file with command
  aplay -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 /tmp/1.raw
 
  1/ On x86 machine, the voice become very slow. If we change the
 sampling
  rate to 63000, it is played close to the real voice we recorded.
  2/ Trying with a USB Sound Card plugged directly to the board.
  aplay -t raw -f S16_LE -r 44100 -D plughw:1,0 /tmp/1.raw
  We saw the same issue as seen on x86 machine
 
  It seems that there is something wrong with the sampling rate
 clock.
 May
  anyone please give some suggestions
 
  I¹ve seen the same problem when recording on the BBB and then
 playing
  the same file on my Ubuntu Desktop. Not sure why this happens. I¹m
 using
  3.15.10-bone8.

 Never mind, I am writing a new driver (called by dto) to emulate more CS

 Hi,

 I have to connect 2 lcd on a BBB via SPI interfaces (I use fbtft

 The problem is that SPI0 has only one CS pin. Is it possible to tell the 
 SPI driver to use a GPIO pin as another CS line ?
 Am I forced to write a full driver to emulate CS with a GPIO pin ?

 Thanks in advance for your help.

[beagleboard] BBB = RPi + Arduino (combined) ???

2014-12-03 Thread rjc2827
I've programmed business systems for years, and now I want to get into 
controlling (and reporting on) related mechanical systems.  Preferably, I 
would like to send out (and collect) the IO directly from my business 
program, but if things are easier or better when split up, then that's 
fine.  I'd like to read 30 temperatures (or whatever), and turn on/off a 
few lights and motors as well, based on a combination of manufacturing 
rules, and my input from the IO capabilities.  It sounds like an Arduino 
might be all that I need.  I want to automate the works, but allow a human 
to override the system, and perhaps to even change the settings, so maybe a 
RPi should be added too.  The BBB looks like it might be able to do 
everything that the Arduino can do though, and it also has the computer 
capabilities that I might need.  So back to the subject line ...

Can a BBB do everything that an Arduino can do?  If not, what's missing? 
 It looks like either the RPi or the BBB could direct the Arduino (if an 
Arduino is still required), but because I don't need extreme sound quality, 
or great graphic capability, it looks like either the RPi or the BBB could 
do the directing part for me ... and maybe, the BBB could do the whole 
thing.  So what would I be giving up if I went only with the BBB?

Any thoughts?

rjc

[beagleboard] eMMC flashing suggestions

2014-12-03 Thread ivo welch

for other newbies, here is a summary of my flashing/updating experiences.

debian is the recommend distribution now.  (not ubuntu, not angstrom, not 
others, even though they probably work, too.)

the posted debian 7.5 standard releases are too finicky.  I always got 
something different and weird.  half the time it would just access both, 
half the time it would stop with all four LEDs black.  sometimes it got 
stuck at its hdmi conversation.  once or twice, I got a red-letter screen 
telling me that it was flashing, but it never got far.

in contrast, when I tried the new console flasher release, debian 7.7 (the 
one that has an md5sum of 1a70...), I had instant success on both rev B and 
rev C boards.  unlike the 7.5 releases, which had two partitions, this one 
has only one.  so, let me recommend 7.7 to anyone like me.

here is a summary of the upgrading process.  the information is already 
spread in many different places, but here is a summary (again) for the 
google cache:

   * on your linux laptop computer: download the img.xz file, check the 
md5sum, use unxz on the image file, and dd bs=1M if=*.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 
(where /dev/mmcblk0 is the flash location on my notebook).  the dd should 
report that you copied about 1.8GB.  on a $10 sdhc premium 32gb card 
(300x), this takes about 90 seconds.  then sync (just to make sure).  then 
remove and reinsert the disk to make sure that a linux partition shows up 
(it is called rootfs and is an ext4).  umount it cleanly.
   * unpower your BBB.  insert the sdhc.  hold the button near the card 
slot, and power up the BBB.
   * the USB power supply on a dual-head USB cable is enough.
   * the display is active during the flash and can be connected to see the 
progress.  it works, even if you only have USB power to the BBB.
   * with a fast sdhc card, flashing the console image to the eMMC can take 
as little as 5-15 minutes.
   * during the flashing, the LEDs blink in a succinct pattern back and 
forth.
   * four solid LEDs means you succeeded.  four black LEDs mean you failed. 
 on the HDMI console, it will state when it has halted.
   * if you reboot, you should see a nice penguin at the top left of the 
display.  the boot should take about a minute.  the default username 
(debian) and password (temppwd) are displayed on the hdmi login screen.

unlike the ubuntu images, the hdmi display output on this debian is 
rock-solid.  the USB magic (which makes the BBB claim to be a mass 
storage device over USB and which runs a network over the same device, so 
that you can even point your browser at 192.168.7.2) is not in the console 
images.  however, you do have a full computer with display output and 
keyboard support now.  if the tcp/ip ethernet cable network is connected 
during reboot, it will come up.this means you can then run apt-get 
upgrade and apt-get update.

when I figure out how to install and uninstall the usb magic (earlier 
posts), I will try to add it to this post.

[thank you, robert, for having done the hard work.]

Re: [beagleboard] eMMC flashing suggestions

On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 9:58 PM, ivo welch ivo...@gmail.com wrote:

 for other newbies, here is a summary of my flashing/updating experiences.

 debian is the recommend distribution now.  (not ubuntu, not angstrom, not
 others, even though they probably work, too.)

 the posted debian 7.5 standard releases are too finicky.  I always got
 something different and weird.  half the time it would just access both,
 half the time it would stop with all four LEDs black.  sometimes it got
 stuck at its hdmi conversation.  once or twice, I got a red-letter screen
 telling me that it was flashing, but it never got far.

 in contrast, when I tried the new console flasher release, debian 7.7 (the
 one that has an md5sum of 1a70...), I had instant success on both rev B and
 rev C boards.  unlike the 7.5 releases, which had two partitions, this one
 has only one.  so, let me recommend 7.7 to anyone like me.

 here is a summary of the upgrading process.  the information is already
 spread in many different places, but here is a summary (again) for the
 google cache:

* on your linux laptop computer: download the img.xz file, check the
 md5sum, use unxz on the image file, and dd bs=1M if=*.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
 (where /dev/mmcblk0 is the flash location on my notebook).  the dd should
 report that you copied about 1.8GB.  on a $10 sdhc premium 32gb card (300x),
 this takes about 90 seconds.  then sync (just to make sure).  then remove
 and reinsert the disk to make sure that a linux partition shows up (it is
 called rootfs and is an ext4).  umount it cleanly.
* unpower your BBB.  insert the sdhc.  hold the button near the card
 slot, and power up the BBB.
* the USB power supply on a dual-head USB cable is enough.

Not always...rsync hits both media devices hard as it transfers data
between the microSD  eMMC... Lots of power spikes, you really need a
good 5 Volt Dc (2amp) wall plug to reliable flash..

[beagleboard] PRU data ram access from uio_pruss interrupt handler

2014-12-03 Thread Christopher Hansen
I'd like to modify the pruss_handler routine in uio_pruss.c to write some 
information into the PRU data memory when an interrupt occurs.  What is the 
simplest way the correct pointers?  Maybe they are already in the code 
somewhere, but I can't figure it out.  Thanks for any suggestions.

[beagleboard] XBee capes

2014-12-03 Thread Philip Polstra
As an FYI.  I have printed circuit boards and full kits for the XBee cape
described in my book (Hacking and Penetration Testing with Low Power
Devices) available at http://philpolstra.com/Hacking-Kits/ if anyone is
playing with XBee and ZigBee.

On-board programming of the radios via 3.3V FTDI cable is support.

There are also updates to the MeshDeck available at
http://facstaff.bloomu.edu/ppolstra.  The latest version has better support
for Series 2 (ZigBee) and adds things such as the the ability to query a
radio for its short address by entering the lower 4 bytes of the MAC
address (top 4 bytes are always the same).

Re: [beagleboard] Newbie question about I/O on the beaglebone black...

If you don't want to get into PRU programming ordinary sequential IO and a
latched buffer might work for you.

On Thu, Sep 25, 2014 at 11:36 PM, John Tonkin john.ton...@gmail.com wrote:


 hi there

 your project is a little mysterious, so it is hard to be specific but here
 are some thoughts based on my own recent research into using beaglebones to
 drive LEDstrips and a custom LCD array.

 from https://github.com/osresearch/LEDscape

 the beaglebone SOC has two PRUs (programmable realtime unit) which are
 designed for this sort of purpose.
 the TI AM335x ARM Cortex-A8 in the BeagleBone Black has two programmable
 microcontrollers built into the CPU that can handle realtime tasks and
 also access the ARM's memory. This allows things that might have been
 delegated to external devices to be handled without any additional
 hardware, and without the overhead of clocking data out the USB port.

 (I am actually using a fork of this library
 https://github.com/Yona-Appletree/LEDscape
 for driving LED strips, and am planning to modify this code for my other
 project)

 PRUs run at 200MHz and have very efficient access to some (more than the
 16 bits that you require) of the GPIO pins (these need to be pin-muxed
 correctly - that is another can of worms / kettle of fish). you read /
 write to pins by reading / writing to specific PRU registers. so you can
 read/write 8 (or more) bits simultaneously. it's much more efficient than
 the more traditional Linux sysfs approach.

 there is a FAQ about using the PRUs stickied at the top of this group and
 lots more info on The internet's.

 Trammell Hudson, who developed the original LEDscape code, seems to have
 done quite a bit of interfacing beaglebones to old computing hardware.

 http://trmm.net/Category:Retrocomputing

 eg http://trmm.net/Mac-SE_video

 another example
 http://blinkenbone.com/projects/blinkenbone

 I've found a logic analyser (eg https://www.saleae.com) to be very useful
 when doing this sort of stuff.

RE: [beagleboard] Disable CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP

2014-12-03 Thread Terje Frøysa
Hello Cédric,

To disable CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP you have to remove its dependency first.
(The -*- indicates a dependency to other settings)
This is done by removing the Typical OMAP configuration first.
Here is my way of e.g. disabling URAT0 based on the graphical make menuconfig 
interface:

· Disable UART0 by:

o   In: System Type--OMAP2/3/4 Specific Features

§  Remove Typical OMAP configuration

o   In: Device Drivers--Character devices--Serial drivers

§  Remove the OMAP serial port support

§  Remove the Console on OMAP serial port

· Compile and install the new kernel.
If you prefer to edit the .config file use the menuconfig help to find the 
keywords of the config file.
Good luck!

Best regards
Terje

Re: [beagleboard] eMMC flashing suggestions

thank you, robert.

[video] I installed fbset.  apt-get install fbset.  on a 1920x1080
monitor, it selects 1280x800.   1280x1024 is a limit of the 125MHZ clock
the AM3359 .   this is why xres 1920 yres 1080 is a no go.  as robert has
pointed out (repeatedly), this can be changed by hand at boot time in

[usb client] apt-get install udhcpc  yields busybox and udhcpc .  I also
installed usbutils .  but there must be some other package to get usb to
work.  it's not just that the networking over usb does not work, it is also
that usb doesn't present anything on its usb client port to the usb host

  has only one.  so, let me recommend 7.7 to anyone like me.
 
  here is a summary of the upgrading process.  the information is already
  spread in many different places, but here is a summary (again) for the
  google cache:
 
 * on your linux laptop computer: download the img.xz file, check the
  md5sum, use unxz on the image file, and dd bs=1M if=*.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
  (where /dev/mmcblk0 is the flash location on my notebook).  the dd should
  report that you copied about 1.8GB.  on a $10 sdhc premium 32gb card
 (300x),
  this takes about 90 seconds.  then sync (just to make sure).  then remove
  and reinsert the disk to make sure that a linux partition shows up (it is
  called rootfs and is an ext4).  umount it cleanly.
 * unpower your BBB.  insert the sdhc.  hold the button near the card
  slot, and power up the BBB.
 * the USB power supply on a dual-head USB cable is enough.
 * the display is active during the flash and can be connected to see
 the
  progress.  it works, even if you only have USB power to the BBB.
 * with a fast sdhc card, flashing the console image to the eMMC can
 take
  as little as 5-15 minutes.
 * during the flashing, the LEDs blink in a succinct pattern back and
  forth.
 * four solid LEDs means you succeeded.  four black LEDs mean you
 failed.
  on the HDMI console, it will state when it has halted.
 * if you reboot, you should see a nice penguin at the top left of the
  display.  the boot should take about a minute.  the default username
  (debian) and password (temppwd) are displayed on the hdmi login screen.
 
  unlike the ubuntu images, the hdmi display output on this debian is
  rock-solid.  the USB magic (which makes the BBB claim to be a mass
 storage
  device over USB and which runs a network over the same device, so that
 you
  can even point your browser at 192.168.7.2) is not in the console images.
  however, you do have a full computer with display output and keyboard
  support now.  if the tcp/ip ethernet cable network is connected during
  reboot, it will come up.this means you can then run apt-get upgrade
  and apt-get update.
 
  when I figure out how to install and uninstall the usb magic (earlier
