 Exploring Beaglebone Chapter 8 http://exploringbeaglebone.com/chapter8/


I can't recommend this book highly enough.  There is a section in Chapter 8 
which shows how to get more CS controls using the GPIOs and simple external 
logic.
This chapter alone will make the price of the book worth it.

 thank you. Just a small point. According to
 TDA19988-product-datasheet-rev3-jul2011.pdf, only some inputs on TDA19988
 are 5V-tolerant. The ones connected to the AM335x are not. These are listed
 on page 38, table 30 as Not 5 V tolerant CMOS 1.8 V and CMOS 3.3 V
 tolerant. I wanted to clarify because you said in the earlier post that
 The HDMI encoder is a 1.8V input that is 5V tolerant.

 BTW, the TDA19988 is a closed-source chip. Its data sheet is missing vital
 information. Is there any replacement out there whose data sheet would be
 available?

 What Gerald is saying is that in general you should not expect to drive

 perhaps 20 ma or more to your LED and at the correct voltage. Perhaps you

 I don't know anything about the Cloud 9 interface, but if is blinking by 
 just using the shell ( echo 1  pin whatever) with sleep, sleep may 
 not recognize any increment of less than integral seconds. I'd look into 
 that. Maybe see if it works for longer intervals like 3 or 5 seconds...

 Speaking strictly for me, when something doesn't work, 99.9% of the time 
 it's something I did wrong, not the hardware etc.

there is not something wrong in the process. 

But when I finished all the process I type:

and appears:

.so I can`t access or see the webcam.what can I fixed??  I also try

Re: [beagleboard] Re: BBB power led blinking, revived after several power button presses

2015-01-26 Thread Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak

http://beagleboard.org/getting-started.  I was happy to see, the
programs on the website worked just fine on my board. Thus, I was able
to conclude that strangely, my BBB board didn't like 5V external power
source!


The BeagleBone Black  BlueSteel Basic seem to be extremely sensitive to 
the rise time of the 5V power supply at startup.


1 ms or longer is a problem, and it is not at all unusual for power 
supply to be slower than this.


200 us is reliable.

See also:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/beagleboard/aXv6An1xfqI/Vy9JxPRvIPwJ

The original BeagleBone White, for whatever reason, did not have this 
issue. (Anyone know why?)


I feed my raw power in through a voltage-controlled solid state relay 
circuit, and I get 100% reliable startups now.


- Mike

 The main difficulties were stripping down the boot times to something 
 reasonable for a benchtop instrument (they are ~8 seconds now, by 
 tweaking the kernel compilation options), and providing safe shutdown 
 (using FULL data+metadata journaling on the filesystem, with a supercap 
 providing just enough time to cleanly use a magic sysrq to force the 
 filesystem into readonly mode before shutdown). 

 The GPMC interface is great for providing high-speed parallel I/O, but 
 boy, you sure have to read the manual to make that work. 

 We use Fedora as the distro.

Mike..

Would you mind posting a few more details on the power-control solution 
using the supercap, along with  information on how the magic sysrq is 
generated by the safe-shutdown hardware? Did you put the safe-shutdown 
hardware on a cape?

Are you running Fedora on the BBB? If you are, do you think it would be 
problematic to implement the fs journaling changes in Angstrom or Debian?

Thanks,

Mark

Give ap-hotspot a try:

It's been abandoned by it's creator due to bugs..

But it may work..

[beagleboard] 2 Solid LEDs when flashing eMMC on BeagleBone Black [Video]

2015-01-26 Thread larry
I just picked up a beaglebone A6 a few days ago  I think I bricked it? 
I've been messing with arduino for years.
Right out of the box all the files on the eMMC were Zero KB so basically it 
had no drivers or start.htm
When I try to flash a new Angstrom image it processes but then stops on two 
solid LEDs.
Is there a way to get this fixed?

I'm using a 5V 2A power supply so I don't think power is the problem.

Here is the video of what is going on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq-a1oJWGOw

 Hi,

 Just wanted to know whether BeagleBoard-XM can be used for Android KitKat? 
 Or is it only used for Android Jellybean?


If you are ok with using sw graphics, it is possible to run KitKat.
I don't think the SGX graphics libraries are available for KitKat.

The system would run a bit slower in absence of graphics acceleration 
though.

 How do i know which beagleboard supports which Android version?

 Could we see bottom pics of the current board?
 I think I see where the expansion headers are, but more pics would be

 Sounds like it is pretty close to NUC size but not quite, it would be 
 really awesome if you could pull that off.
 Either way I'm ready to fire up the laser cutter to make case as soon as 
 we get all the physical dimensions. :)
