Günter,
Was it booting from the eMMC or a uSD card?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: BBB MIDI .wav trigger

2015-02-16 Thread Steve French of Volt Vision
Aaron,
1) yes, the sounds are on uSD card.  I stopped using the built-in 2GB of
eMMC because the Debian image causes it to be 100% full so you cant even do
an *apt-get update* and you especially cant save WAV files!  If you have
the 4GB eMMC version, you could run everything from the eMMC including the
sounds.
2) I do boot with all of the USB devices connected because hot-plugging USB
is questionable on embedded linux sometimes.  I did not take the time yet
to figure out how to launch the PD application during bootso I have
been manually launching it from another computer via SSH command line.

Good Luck!

 Thanks Steve! That sounds very promising.  I am starting to read through
 the tutorial now and thinking about what changes to make to suit my needs.

 Can you tell me some about how you use your setup? I wondered if your
 sounds are stored on microSD.  Also, are you able to boot your BBB with the
 pedal and sound card connected and simply start jamming?

 Best,
 Aaron

 Hello All,

 I am new to BBB and wondered if anyone might be able to point me in the
 right direction for a school project I am working on.
 I would like to have a single serial input to the BBB which triggers
 audio files to play.  The incoming serial line will be MIDI information
 from a MIDI drum controller  (edrum kit) I have built.  The BBB will have
 to mix a maybe 6 files together.

 I have the BBB rev C with Debian pre-installed.  Where on earth do I
 start?  I know I will be dealing with ALSA and JACK.
 I have found software called SDDM which is a open source Linux drum
 machine, however I believe this software may not be
 compatible with eLinux? Not sure about this.

 I own a behringer uca-222 which I have heard can be used with the BBB
 through its USB port.  I would like to use the uca-222 for
 audio playback and the headphone jack as well if I can get it working.

 Please, any help is greatly appreciated
 Aaron

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test

2014-03-14 Thread Steve French of Volt Vision
Robert,
Just my $0.02 about *where* info should be stored:   I completely agree
about Dennis' Wild West comment.  When I first started with the BBB back
in Sep2013 all 5 of the various websites that Dennis referenced seemed to
contradict each other.  The official image was outdated and the most
recent images were hidden away and you almost needed a secret knock to
find them.  I completely understand that everything has been in a massive
state of flux, especially since all of the changes with the way Device Tree
was handled, etc, etc.  It seems to me, though, that out of the 5 websites
that Dennis referenced, perhaps 4 of them should say Things are in a state
of massive flux right now Instead of us updating 5 websites all the
time, Please check this *one* website for the most up-to-date info.  Then
on the *1* website which is continuously updated it could say:  Here is
the most recent stable official image and here is the most recent
development official image.  It is strange having 5 different websites to
have to check when you are a Newbie...and then Gerald says why didnt you
check 'the' website.

Thx!  I respect and appreciate all the work you do!!  These are challenging
times!

 So then, here's a question for you. Where do you want to see those
 type of faq's listed?

 I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where...


 I don't know where they should be stored, but there should definitely be
 links on the beagleboard.org main page. It seems to me that if Debian is
 going to replace Angstrom, then a link to the Debian release images and
 FAQs should be put there. Eventually, the Angstrom info could be
 deprecated, or rather archived and its visibility reduced.

 It seems to me that there are currently too many places to go to get the
 various linux distributions and kernels, and none of them seem to be
 officially sanctioned as the standard release. This leads to unnecessary
 confusion for new users. Some info on beagleboard.org, some info at
 circuitco.com, some info at elinux.org, some info at armhf.com, etc., not
 to mention all the other stuff at ti.com.

 The official wiki at
 http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack#Software_Resourcesdoesn't 
 even mention this Debian releases (and it should if you want people
 to test it). The community wiki at
 http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Community#Debian does list a Debian release,
 but it is a different, and incompatible, arm EABI version from this new
 armhf release.

 I appreciate all the hard work that people have done to prepare all this
 information, but it's a little like the wild west when you first start
 looking around.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test

2014-03-12 Thread Steve French of Volt Vision
Dennis,
I am not sure what you mean by BBB panics, but I can tell you that I have
been upgrading my kernel using the new Debian eMMC flasher image.  I have
done it on several BBBs so far with no problem

*Before the procedure:*
uname -a
Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone41 #1 SMP Tue Mar 4 22:51:47 UTC 2014 armv7l
GNU/Linux

*Then Update Kernel:*

   - cd /opt/scripts/
   - git pull
   - ./tools/update_kernel.sh --beta-kernel
   - reboot

*And after the procedure:*
uname -a
Linux beaglebone 3.13.6-bone7 #1 SMP Sat Mar 8 01:11:45 UTC 2014 armv7l
GNU/Linux

Hope this helps
-frenchy

 Best to just switch to v3.13.x


 Robert,

 How do you propose that users switch to v3.13.x (by which I assume you
 mean the Linux kernel version)?

 My BBB panics like this on every boot using the Debian 2014-03-04 image. I
 can't even log in to the text console.
