[beagleboard] Re: 3.17.1-rc4 sudden reset
Just an FYI... We are currently working on a project using Rev C BBB and RCN 3.13.11-bone12 kernel. We had been experiencing random reboots. Sometimes multiple times per day and sometimes once per day, mostly at night. We determined that the reboots were only occuring when the BBB was being powered only from the 5VDC connector. We never saw a reboot when the BBB was either powered from, or just connected to, the USB OTG port. One of our engineers suggested that it might be a noise issue on the USB OTG port and the way that the TPS65217C PMIC works in the system. The way he explained it to me is that the PMIC is set up to default to the USB OTG port for power. If you leave the USB OTG port open, or floating, while powered from the 5VDC connector and then get noise on the USB OTG port then the PMIC will attempt to switch to USB OTG port and finding that there is no voltage there the system reboots. What we have done to solve the problem so far: I made a pigtail cable for the USB OTG port that simply ties the shield, ground and 5VDC together. There is no 5VDC on the USB OTG port when not connected to a host machine. Not a great final solution but it did prove the theory. With the pigtail installed we never get reboots, it's been tested on several BBBs now and is very consistent. So, reboots regularly without the pigtail and never with the pigtail installed. One other thing to note... On the schematic there are 4.7uF caps from both the USB OTG and 5VDC lines to ground. We were thinking that this could allow some relatively high frequency noise to pass to the PMIC. I don't know what the response time, that would cause a switch over, is on the PMIC. It's possible that something on the order of a .01uF - .1uF cap from the USB OTG 5VDC line to ground might also solve the problem. This has not been tested yet however. Hope this helps...

It seems however that I'm having some strange instability on my BBB. After somewhere between 10 and 24 hours, the device seems to reset suddenly and without warning. There's no kernel panic as far as I can see (no kernel.panic time-out in my sysctl either) and nothing in the dmesg or kern log files. It suddenly resets. On the serial console, using my own FTDI cable, I was running watch, and when I returned the next day the program wasn't refreshing as it should have been. I pressed enter and immediately a login prompt appeared. Uptime was also way shorter than it should have been. Any clues on what might cause this? This seems a bit like a power supply issue, but I've been running the same BBB for weeks using the same power supply on a 3.8.13 kernel and that's always worked fine, while on this kernel it can't even last a day.

[beagleboard] Re: Help Needed : For setting up plymouth on Beaglebone Black
Hello,
I know it's been a while since you posted this, thanks by the way. I was
able to use your instructions to get Plymouth installed and configured. :)
However, I'm getting a splash screen on shut-down but not on boot-up. I was
wondering if you'd experienced this and had a possible solution. I'm on a
BeagleBone Black running the Debian distro. I configured the splash in
uEnv.txt as you suggested.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi,
No reply in days, but I found the solution. Posting it for any one needing
this information in the future.
Here are the steps needed to be followed for setting up plymouth on
beaglebone black running debian or ubuntu:
Step 1) Install Plymouth-DRM.
# apt-get install plymouth-drm
Step 2) Select a theme for boot splash.
# plymouth-set-default-theme --list # this lists
the available themes for plymouth
# plymouth-set-default-theme joy
Step 3) Update initramfs
# update-initramfs -u
Step 4) Copy the newly created initrd.img file to /boot/uboot folder
# cp /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) /boot/uboot/
Step 5) Update the initrd file name in the /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt
#initrd_file=initrd.img
initrd_file=initrd.img-3.8.13-bone47
Step 6) enable splash support by adding the following to
/boot/uboot/uEnv.txt.
# Place this at the bottom of the last line starting with optargs
optargs=splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles ${optargs}
just restart your beaglebone, and it will work.
Hope this will be helpful for someone.
Regards
viraniac

From what I've read I believe the xinput-calibrator utility would help solve this issue. But, I can't find the package with sudo apt-get install xinput-calibrator. I have downloaded the source for version 0.7.5 from freedesktop.org and I'm trying to cross build it. No luck so far...

Using the 2GB uSD card image also flashes a bit faster and can be resized to whatever your uSD card size is using some scripts under /opt/scripts/tools.

You can open up a bunch of these and it makes logging into the board and executing command-line operations *super* simple. Cloud9 IDE version 3 now includes support for Python and the Adafruit_BBIO library is included in these Debian images. That means you can simply paste in your Python code and hit the run button, without any additional download. I checked this out myself by doing a quick LED blink using the Adafruit tutorial (

I know that this utility is installed by default on the latest Debian/LXDE images from Beagleboard.org but i really want to be able to configure and build all of this myself. It's easier to just build in on the bone.. (make sure libxi-dev is installed) git clone https://github.com/tias/xinput_calibrator cd xinput_calibrator ./autogen.sh --with-gui=x11 make make install make distclean Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.
