[beagleboard] BlackLib help

2017-04-03 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings 

I am trying to use the BlackLib package to allow me to use C++ for 
development. I'm struggling to get it working.

Here is the background:
I'm using Debian 4.6.3-14 and GCC 4.6.3  

I've tried compiling the code but gcc does not like the -std=c++11 command 
and it throws a ton of errors if I omit it. 

Here are all the errors. Many I am guessing because I am not using C++11 Id 
there a better way to do use the BlackLib?
Thanks

[beagleboard] Header files for C++ programming

2017-04-03 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings.

I have a directory "Setup" on the Beaglebone Black with all my .cpp files 
stored in it. Within this directory is a sub directory holding all my 
header files appropriately labeled "header" 
To access these files within the beaglebone blacks directories do I have to 
use

 "/home/UART/Setup/header.BlackADC.h"

or simply use 

 "/header.blackADC.h"

I cannot figure this out. 
Thanks

[beagleboard] Re: X11VNC fighting me tooth and nail. Would really appreciate some help.

2015-12-15 Thread Bill Dussault
I am trying (Big picture here) to run Machinekit on the beaglebone for my 
CNC router. I am trying to use VNC to be able to run the machine with the 
computer out of the room to prevent everything from getting dusty. I have 
x11vnc installed on the bone but cannot connect to it over the ethernet. I 
have been chipping away all week and started over, this time without a 
static IP address and finally got ssh over ethernet to work. I am using 
tightvnc on my laptop to try and communicate with it.


Thanks 

Bill

[beagleboard] Re: X11VNC fighting me tooth and nail. Would really appreciate some help.

2015-12-09 Thread Bill Dussault
Still not working.. It's been a week. This is frustrating

Here is where I am at:

on the Desktop I click to run X11VNC Allow the default port 5900 to stay I 
do not click "Enable SSL" because I do not want encryption.  I click "OK" 
and the next screen shows up in the GUI configuation.
I click X Show instructions and X Accept Connections

The dialog box shows "X11VNC has failed to start  Maybe there is 
another VNC server listening on port 5900. (There isn't)

I then looked into the $dmesg | tail

Here is the last thing it spits out
libphy 4a10100.mdio.00 Link is - 100/FULL
Ipv6 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth 0 Link becomes ready.

I have looked at the router. I initially changed the IP address to 
XXX.XXX.1.100 but the router config still claimed it was XXX.XXX.1.70 I 
have no idea why that was
I then changed the Static IP to XXX.XXX.1.70 and enable VNC connections 
STILL NO LUCK. 

What the heck is going on Anything else ask I'll give just help me get this 
working 

Thanks

Bill

[beagleboard] Re: eMMc flashing problem. 4 led blinking problem.

2015-12-06 Thread Bill Dussault
I had the same problems Here's what I did

1. They are correct a 5v 2amp power supply is defiantly needed
2. Make sure the image is a eMMC flasher AND is a 2GB for Rev B and below 
or a 4GB for a rev C (This will cause the load to fail
3. The whole thing should take 45 min MAX so it it's still going after that 
something went wrong.

Hope that helps

[beagleboard] X11VNC fighting me tooth and nail. Would really appreciate some help.

2015-12-06 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings,

I am trying to install X11VNC and log into it via my laptop and I am having 
some tough luck 

Here is what I have done..

I have changed my IP address to a 192.168.1.XX
My router for some reason still thinks it is the old IP address even when I 
refresh it. 

I have turned on VNC on the firewall  on my 2wire router

Next I installed VNC: 

   - Debian:   sudo apt-get install x11vnc

3. Enter the below command

 

-Debian:

x11vnc -bg -o %HOME/.x11vnc.log.%VNCDISPLAY -auth 
/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -forever


(I'm not sure if I turned it on)


I can ping the beaglebone from my computer


C:\Users\William>ping 192.168.1.XX


Pinging 192.168.1.XX with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.1.XX: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.1.XX: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.1.XX: bytes=32 time=5ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.1.XX: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64


Ping statistics for 192.168.1.XX:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 3ms, Maximum = 5ms, Average = 3ms


So I can See it. 


I start  tightVNC on my laptop


192.168.1.XX:5901  


I get connection has been gracefully closed.  Or  Connection 
was actively Refused...


X11VNC has a few configurations when opened on the desktop I am unfamiliar 
with. No passwords in use as of yet (I was warned when I started)


Does anyone see anything out of whack?


Thanks! 


Bill

Re: [beagleboard] Unbricking my beaglebone black

2015-11-30 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings, 

I downloaded the image and used a 2A 5V power supply ( Ever post seemed to 
stress that point) and sucessfully got to the login for the OS. Good news 
and thank you sir. Now, to load the image into the eMMC I hold the boot 
button down and wait for all four LED's to light up? I was doing that but 
The four lights flickered for sometimes four hours and showed no signs of 
stopping whereas all the tutorials said it would take at max 1.5 hours. Is 
there a certain type of image that is compiled specifically for flashing 
into the eMMC?

Thanks again

Bill

[beagleboard] Unbricking my beaglebone black

2015-11-30 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings,

I am having a great deal of difficulty getting Wheezy Debian on the BBB. I 
read and performed the booting instructions that called for holding the 
boot button down until the four tiny LED lights illuminated and started 
turning off and on at random levels. I did this several times with it 
failing. This process when for HOURS about three before I stopped it. My 
board does not boot anymore and I think I might have bricked it. Is there 
any way to recover from this? I read some posts about unbricking it but 
they were for Angstom and I have no idea what is on the flash at this point 
and time. Can anyone give me a starting point and a direction? A simple 
test to figure out what is on the board and how to get back to square one? 
Thank you

Does anyone know how to list the open ports in the BBB flashed with Ubuntu

[beagleboard] Re: setting up VNC for ubuntu

2013-11-23 Thread Bill Dussault
Thanks for the response. I tried 192.168.7.2:5900??

I am using real VNC to connect and x11vnc on the host. 

Is there a way to look at the BBB and figure out which ports it has open?

Thanks

[beagleboard] setting up VNC for ubuntu

2013-11-22 Thread Bill Dussault
I am trying to set up VNC from a WIn7 PC into the BBB I am running ubuntu 
on the BBB.

on the terminal:


ubuntu@arm:~$ sudo apt-get install x11vnc vnc-java

ubuntu@arm:~$ x11vnc -storepasswd  (wrote my password)

ubuntu@arm:~$ x11vnc -foreever -usepw 
Password written to: /home/ubuntu/.vnc/passwd
22/11/2013 18:22:19 x11vnc version: 0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10  pid: 1926
22/11/2013 18:22:19 XOpenDisplay("") failed.
22/11/2013 18:22:19 Trying again with XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost ...
22/11/2013 18:22:19
22/11/2013 18:22:19 *** XOpenDisplay failed. No -display or DISPLAY.
22/11/2013 18:22:19 *** Trying ":0" in 4 seconds.  Press Ctrl-C to abort.

22/11/2013 18:22:23 XOpenDisplay(":0") failed.
22/11/2013 18:22:23 Trying again with XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME=localhost ...
22/11/2013 18:22:23 XOpenDisplay(":0") failed.
22/11/2013 18:22:23 Trying again with unset XAUTHLOCALHOSTNAME ...
22/11/2013 18:22:23

22/11/2013 18:22:23 ***
22/11/2013 18:22:23 *** XOpenDisplay failed (:0)

*** x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0", it cannot continue.
*** There may be "Xlib:" error messages above with details about the 
failure.

Some tips and guidelines:

** An X server (the one you wish to view) must be running before x11vnc is
   started: x11vnc does not start the X server.  (however, see the -create
   option if that is what you really want).

** You must use -display , -OR- set and export your $DISPLAY
   environment variable to refer to the display of the desired X server.
 - Usually the display is simply ":0" (in fact x11vnc uses this if you 
forget
   to specify it), but in some multi-user situations it could be ":1", ":2",
   or even ":137".  Ask your administrator or a guru if you are having
   difficulty determining what your X DISPLAY is.

** Next, you need to have sufficient permissions (Xauthority)
   to connect to the X DISPLAY.   Here are some Tips:

 - Often, you just need to run x11vnc as the user logged into the X session.
   So make sure to be that user when you type x11vnc.
 - Being root is usually not enough because the incorrect MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE
   file may be accessed.  The cookie file contains the secret key that
   allows x11vnc to connect to the desired X DISPLAY.
 - You can explicitly indicate which MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file should be used
   by the -auth option, e.g.:
   x11vnc -auth /home/someuser/.Xauthority -display :0
   x11vnc -auth /tmp/.gdmzndVlR -display :0
   you must have read permission for the auth file.
   See also '-auth guess' and '-findauth' discussed below.

** If NO ONE is logged into an X session yet, but there is a greeter login
   program like "gdm", "kdm", "xdm", or "dtlogin" running, you will need
   to find and use the raw display manager MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE file.
   Some examples for various display managers:

 gdm: -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth
  -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth
 kdm: -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-crWk72
  -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-crWk72
 xdm: -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-XQvaJk
 dtlogin: -auth /var/dt/A:0-UgaaXa

   Sometimes the command "ps aux | grep auth" can reveal the file 
location.

   Starting with x11vnc 0.9.9 you can have it try to guess by using:

  -auth guess

   (see also the x11vnc -findauth option.)

   Only root will have read permission for the file, and so x11vnc must be 
run
   as root (or copy it).  The random characters in the filenames will of 
course
   change and the directory the cookie file resides in is system dependent.


On the Windows PC I installed RealVNC and open it to 192.168.7.2 and it 
keeps giving me "Connection Refused 10061" 

Cannot find a good solution online. 

Any help would be appreciated

Bill

It turns out it was the image. I tried five different images. Wow, that was 
tougher than I thought. Thank you to all who helped.  The image posted on 
this thread finally worked with the usb cable. 

Thanks again

I attempted to flash the board with a scan disc card using the 5v power

[beagleboard] Cannot flash to emmc

2013-11-19 Thread Bill Dussault
I have repeatedly tried flashing the BBB 
with ubuntu-saucy-13.10-armhf-3.8.13-bone28.img.
I write the .img file to a micro scan disk card, place the card in the slot 
and power the board on while holding the boot button down.  The LED's come 
on and I let go of the button.
The led's flash on and off for HOURS and then NOTHING happens it still has 
angstrom loaded onto it.

What the heck and I doing wrong!? this is very frustrating

ANY help would be welcome this is annoying

[beagleboard] Flashing the memory

2013-11-19 Thread Bill Dussault
I have a file that is an .img file  (ubuntu saucy  13.10 armhf 3.8.13 
bone28.img)  I load this onto my micro sd card and throw it in the 
BeagleBone Black and power it up while holding the boot button down but all 
that happens is the four little led's blink at patterns for several hours 
and no flashing occurs. Am I doing something wrong. 

Please help

Thanks! 

Bill

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebon black Large Cap gets very HOT with the 5v plug in and the mini HDMI port plugged in.

2013-11-19 Thread Bill Dussault
Here is the issue,

If I plug in the mini HDMI plug and hook it up to a monitor the boot screen 
brifly comes up and then dies and the yellow PTC cap becomes VERY hot. I'm 
thinking there is a short somewhere in my board that is centered around the 
HDMI the cap. I've worked on circuit boards for years and something is 
obviously shorted 

Thanks for your input much appreciated

Bill

[beagleboard] USB and mini HDMI cables interfere with each other

2013-11-18 Thread Bill Dussault
Does anyone have a good solution to the usb and mini hdmi cable 
interference problem? The two cables don't seem to have enough clearance to 
cleanly fit on the board. Is there a certain brand of cable that fits well?

Thanks 

Bill

The Beaglebone large cap gets very hot when plugged into the 5v supply and 
the mini dvi-d plug is connected. Has anyone seen this behavior before? I'm 
a bit concerned.

[beagleboard] Angstrom Guide

2013-11-18 Thread Bill Dussault
Greetings. 

After SSH'ing into the board when the default angstrom boot is loaded on I 
cannot seem to do anything. I'm trying to load python and get into what I 
consider to be the "Idle" IDE. I understand python but linux is still 
pretty cryptic to me. Anyone written a noob guide?

Thanks 

Bill

2013-11-18 Thread Bill Dussault
Does anyone have a good tutorial for Angstrom? I have tried scrounging bits 
and pieces from the net with no avail. ssh in and get a root and desktop 
with nothing on it. It seems empty. All I want to do is load python on and 
have it run scripts to manipulate the IO can someone help me? 
Thanks!
