[beagleboard] Re: programming BBB - choice of language

2015-03-15 Thread Keyvan Fatehi
This is a really interesting thread, I haven't learned so much so quickly 
in awhile!

Hi Chilli

I am also in a position where I'm developing a BBB with a touchscreen. I 
chose python. I hardly ever used python previous to this project and 
usually choose node.js or ruby which I know pretty deeply through years of 
web development experience.

I chose python because
* it has great support for the serial port which I needed fine control over 
(node-serialport failed, it was my first attempt, I was sad about this 
because I have to later refactor my python code in a tickless or 
event-driven style when I have time -- I would have got this for free if 
I had been able to use Node.js. Also with Node.js, if my project is a 
success, I can find an abundance of coders that can wield it, but same can 
be said for python)
* it has a fine webserver built in, cherrypy, this is serving my HTML and 
Javascript for the kiosk
* it has a fine websockets library, ws4py, which provides the connection 
between the python and the kiosk (which uses Chromium's HTML5 WebSocket)

So far this working very well for me as my screen is doing normal things, 
nothing crazy to require OpenGL or SDL or things like that which are more 
foreign to me. My kiosk is using the following libraries:

* Backbone.js (for its minimalism and modularity, although I tend not to 
use this anymore in normal web app development [I tend to write normal 
web apps in Meteor these days])

In your case you could easily do something like this and the protocol you 
develop on the websocket wire (or a superset therein) can be (re)used for 
non-local connections. The same HTML/JS can be reused (and extended) for 
those non-local connections.

best regards,
keyvan

 So I'm still a bit undecided if to implement first a local solution and 
 add remote support later or if it is better to make only one common GUI

 In first case I would very likely make a full featured local GUI with a 
 c/c++ graphics library and a restricted web GUI later on (maybe with 
 Mongoose or other web servers).
 In latter case (one full featuered GUI)  I would probably use another 
 language. Maybe html5/javascript with library (fabric, knietic, paper...)?

 What would you use if you had to support both, local and web interface?

Yes, exactly the same software on both BBB.

 So you have one board that works and another that does not work with the

 I did try to give defaul screen resolution in uEnv.txt as Glenn said. But
 it is just changing the size of the debian logo for 2-3 seconds and then
 screen turning to black again. I upgraded to linux 3.8.13-bone70 today from
 linux 3.8.13-bone41 just downloaded it ran ./install-me.sh then rebooted. I
 am working with two beaglebone black boards right now. One is perfectly
 running with lcd screen and hdmi cable without any modification to uEnv.xt
 file or something else. Both BBB boards have same kernel and os versions. I
 appreciate all your advice and help.

 Hi Gerald! I have the same problem as the people on here. Did an MMC
 reflash to latest software and thought maybe it is a faulty HDMI cable. I
 have since received a dragon board with the same micro hdmi connector as
 the beaglebone. Dragonboard HDMI works fine, BeagleBone does not.
 Any ideas?

 I've just received a BeagleBone Black, but I can't get the HDMI output
 to work for love nor money. I'm using a known-good micro-HDMI to HDMI
 adapter, and I've tried connecting it to a 1280x1024 monitor via a HDMI to
 DVI-D cable and to a 1080p TV using a straight HDMI cable. The TV knows
 there's something there (it disables inputs that are inactive, and it
 allows me to select the HDMI input to which the BeagleBone is connected)
 but says No Signal, whereas the monitor just says No Signal.

 I've tried both the preinstalled Angstrom Linux and the console
 version of Ubuntu 13.04 - no dice with either. I've got a proper 
 micro-HDMI
 to HDMI cable arriving tomorrow, just in case there's something the
 BeagleBone Black doesn't like about the adapter I'm using (although I
 tested it on a Nokia 808 PureView, and it worked fine.)

 Anybody any ideas what might be preventing the BeagleBone Black from
 bringing up a display? I can see nothing in the kernel logs that sheds any
 light on the matter. It sees the virtual HDMI cape in Slot 6 and appears 
 to
 load the firmware cape-boneblack-hdmi-00A0.dtbo fine.

Hello Gerald  Robert,
Actually I am working with three BBB boards, two of them are ok with LCD 
display I am using. They all have preinstalled linux 3.8.13-bone70. I had 
checked the link you send me Robert. (I guess it is really exceptional case 
that BBBs displaying on 1080@60 lcd screen). On one BBB that I had a 
problem I reinstalled linux 3.8.13-bone41 accidentally, and after upgraded 
to bone70. Before intallation bone41 it did not even display anything on 
LCD, but after upgrade to bone70 at least it is displayin debian logo for 
2-3 seconds. I am not sure whether they have same u-boot version. Is it ok 
if I update you tommorow?

[beagleboard] chromium-browser on BBB RevC with Debian Image 2015-03-01

is chromium for arm not available in debian repositories?


i try to install chromium 
apt-get install chromium

and i get this:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 chromium-browser : Depends: chromium (= 10) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

is there any repository that we bb users can use install chromium?


is there any other browser for the current debian image that plays well as 
kiosk mode ?

thanks

[beagleboard] Jessie debian lxqt

2015-03-15 Thread Ray Madigan
I have an installation of Jessie lxqt running and am having difficulty 
getting it to use a static ip address.

in /etc/network/interfaces I have

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.113
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 184.16.33.54 184.16.4.22

my router has a reserved address for this mac address
and it worked on the angstrom and ubuntu images.  
I am clearly doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance.

 I'm working on it...  Chromium takes a ton of memory at the linking
 stage 2.3Gb+, most armhf boards only have 2GB...

 Just recently picked up an omap5 with 4gb, but u-boot's only seeing
 1gb as of last friday, so gotta fix that first..

 Previouly i had tried using an A80 based board, but it's kernel wasn't
 lpae enabled (yet) and ran out of memory at 2.3GB used.  For that
 hardware a mainline u-boot is still a few months away.

 So yeah, till then use either firefox/iceweasel or qupzilla which
 i built off qt5, so it's kinda neat..

i just found a solution for my project
it midori! :-) i never used it before and it supports websockets witch is a
feature of my application!
its simple as apt-get instal midori for arm
i start it like:
midori -i 120 -e Fullscreen -a 127.0.0.1 -p

and it rocks!
when i get my mini hdmi to vga and audio adapter i will test the midori
capabilities of playing html5 audio elements

don't suggest not to bother building chrome in a such lightweight machine
midori looks pretty webkit compatible

Nikos

PS: nice job on Debian Image 2015-03-01 just plug the micro sd card with
the flasher image, reboot  and automatically flashes emmc without the need
to press any buttons (you need to document this feature)

I tried it this morning and it seemed to have worked.  I will not try again 
on this bbb, I have a second bbb that I will keep trying with but somehow I

Keyvan,

Hey there. I am curious as to why you think serial is broken in Nodejs ? A
serial port *is / can be* a file just like anything else in Linux. Since
Nodejs has file methods provided as stock I would think it would / could be
a no-brainer . . .

That said, obviously I do not know everything, so what am I missing ? I've
toyed with Nodejs quite a bit, but never really dug into sending data out /
reading data in over the serial port. *YET*.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: programming BBB - choice of language

2015-03-15 Thread Keyvan Fatehi
Hi William

Although node-serialport did not work for me, in retrospect I can't blame
the library. My application required control over the handshaking signals
so I needed something capable of that. At the time, node-serialport did not
have this feature but pyserial did. So I went with pyserial which caused
everything else to be in python as well. I'm happy with the outcome though.

Re: [beagleboard] Audio Cape with Beaglebone Black

2015-03-15 Thread sns
To record and playback audio I use  gui. But how to configure beaglebone 
for this,as it cannot run GUIs.Can we make use of gpio pins with some sort 
of switches or buttons to do this? If I need to record audio, I use a 
record button in custom gui with the pc. But how to record using 
beaglebone alone?

Re: [beagleboard] Audio Cape with Beaglebone Black

2015-03-15 Thread Zainab S.V
That could be done while connecting BB with the computer? How can it be
done when using BB alone as separate computer? The recorded audio needs to
be stored,processed and played. So, how can it be done ?
