RE: [beagleboard] SDR on beaglebone black?

Hi Jerry;

 

If you search for “BBB + spectrum analyzer” , you will find some ports to the 
Beaglebone White.

Subject: [beagleboard] SDR on beaglebone black?

 

I am thinking about putting SDR on a single board computer.

 

I have tried the RPi 2, and it just doesn't have the oomph to run a waterfall 
program (like gqrx or some other SDR program) on it.

 

Does the beaglebone black have the oomph to do that. I want something that will 
run it all. Not having to stream to the internet and pick it up on a desktop.

 

Has anybody done this reasonable well on the BBB? 


 

Jerry

 I'm a n00b, but I have a requirement to make a few of my GPIO pins not

 I've got a new beaglebone black.

 I can disable them through the /sys/class/gpio/export just fine but 
 doing so in a bash script on boot leaves current through the pin for 
 about 4-5 seconds before it runs my script.

 So next, I looked into modifying the boot loader. I tried commenting 
 out the bottom section of beagle.c:


 /* Set GPIO states before they are made outputs
 writel(GPIO23 | GPIO10 | GPIO8 | GPIO2 | GPIO1,
 gpio6_base-setdataout);
 writel(GPIO31 | GPIO29 | GPIO28 | GPIO22 | GPIO21 |
 GPIO15 | GPIO14 | GPIO13 | GPIO12, 
 gpio5_base-setdataout); */

 /* Configure GPIOs to output
 writel(~(GPIO23 | GPIO10 | GPIO8 | GPIO2 | GPIO1), gpio6_base-oe);
 writel(~(GPIO31 | GPIO29 | GPIO28 | GPIO22 | GPIO21 |
 GPIO15 | GPIO14 | GPIO13 | GPIO12), gpio5_base-oe); 
 */

 dieid_num_r();

 and recompiled and tested and there is still voltage coming from pin 
 11 during boot.

 Would someone that has experience doing this at least point me in the 
 right direction? It would be so much appreciated!

Not sure if it is the same thing, but my ISP has what they call “fair use

where they throttle back the bandwidth after a few seconds of file transfer.

 

If you start and stop the transfer, the speed goes back up briefly.

Could your network be doing the same thing ??

RE: [beagleboard] push button on 7-inch touch screen to send some strings through the serial port.

If you Google “Beaglebone latest images” you will see that the OS of choice 
(and best supported) is Debian.

I suggest that you flash that image to your uSD card.

Dear Eric,

 

Thanks for all the information! I will read all the articles and videos. Now I 
have a small problem. I followed the video to map an image of Angstrom on my SD 
card, and boot the BBB with this system. However, when I try to connect the BBB 
to my mac through USB, the ip of the BBB won't be assigned automatically (it 
shows self assigned IP, 169.254.51.158). Also I cannot ssh to it from 
Terminal. So I cannot get the control of the BBB from my computer. Do you know 
how to solve it?

 

Thanks!

Henry

As a quick hack, the hard button(s) may be easier with less code, but you are 
right, using the soft button approach with software based menus is much more 
flexible.  With the touchscreen attached, the beagle starts running it's 
display on the touchscreen and enables the touch interface as if it were a 
mouse.  what you will likely want to do is when the system starts have it start 
your button menu interface.  that program will be the main thing the user sees 
and by pushing certain buttons in the menu you create each button causes a 
software action or conversely a software routine can bring up a window or 
button.

take a look at the following to get you started:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyQt
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PySide

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vvb7Kv59qA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D_aEYiBU2c

within python you ought to be able to use the python serial library and one of 
the above libraries/toolkits to get your buttons working.  i.e. push software 
button, execute routine that spews string over serial, return to menu.

Dear Eric, thanks for the reply! I’m planning to use soft button, not the hard

different names that can send different strings to the next device through

Now I have very rookie questions: 

1) I have connect the BBB to the computer, and I have opened the webpage of 
http://192.168.7.2 http://192.168.7.2/ , and can perform the scripts on the 
webpage text box; I have also opened Cloud9 IDE (http://192.168.7.2:3000/) and 
performed some programs. But I noticed that the Cloud9 access some path that 
the USB disk cannot find. My question is, how to get to the beagle# status 
before entering any command to modify the configuration of the serial port? 
From the terminal of the computer? Or Cloud9? Or webpage test box?

2) It seems that when I connect the BBB to the back of the touch screen and 
turn it on, the board enters a system with touch control. So I suppose that I 
should run some GUI (some soft buttons) program from that system, instead of 
from computer via a USB cable. How to do that?

 

Now I’m reading the book “Bad to the Bone: Crafting Electronic Systems with 
BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black”. It’s a very good book, but the progress seems 
to be too slow. I hope I could finish this by this weekend. But based on my 
background, there seems to be some barrier I should conquer first. So I really 
need some expert like you to instruct a little bit. Look forward to your reply. 
Thanks again.

I tried just formatting half of the card (4GB) but I still get an 8GB image,

William,

Sorry, the only notes I could find are rather incomplete, and I could not find 
the puTTY log sessions I used to have on my old laptop. I could piece together 
a couple of txt note files I kept that are sort of exact steps I used to create 
the whole setup. More or less.

Something to consider though. I do not use the any of the official images for 
my own production images. I have kind of a what some may consider a 
convoluted setup. I use two images, both of which are NFS rootfs;s. One for 
development, and one for production. The development image I use to install 
all necessary development tools such as gcc, build-esential, checkinstall, etc. 
On which I built my own version of nodejs( 0.10.29 if memory serves ). When 
then I created a Nodejs *deb package to install on the production image.

My production image is pretty much just RCN's bare-fs rootfs, with a minimal 
set of what I consider necessary tools installed. openssh-server, psutils, 
ntpdate, etc. The whole thing including Nodejs sits( again, if memory serves ) 
at around 95M total size in flash though . . . which is why my setup is so 
convoluted . . .

Anyway, if you're interested, let me know, and I will try to get you something 
as complete / accurate as possible.

RE: [beagleboard] WiFi Connectivity in Beaglebone Black

Could wrong here, but I think you will end up with “wlan0” and “wlan1” if you 
go the USB route.

Just make sure to use a powered hub.

That is the way some WiFi hacking programs work, by using multiple adapters.

Hi everyone. We are working on a project which requires the beaglebone to be 
connected to two wifi networks. We have the following two approaches but 
couldn't find which one could be feasible.

1)One way could be connecting to one wifi network using a cape and connecting 
another using an adapter to the USB port. If this is possible in beaglebone 
black could anyone please suggest a wifi cape that can be supported by a 
beaglebone black.

2)Another way is to use two wifi adapters via a USB hub. But given that we are 
using a USB hub, both the adapters will have to use the common bus in order to 
connect to the BBBK. does the beaglebone black support this kind of 
connectivity?

Thank you.

I have the bone connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse.  It boots normally.

 

I insert the microSD card press the user boot button and power it up, no light 
comes on at all for as long as I hold the button.

 

If I try without the button press three lights light up immediately and stay 
there for ever.

 

Am I doing something wrong?  I tired connected to a network and not with the 
same result.

 

 

Any guidance would be appreciated?

RE: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply

2015-03-06 Thread William Pretty Security
First of all, the output level from the GPIO is about 3.3V and MOSFETs are 
voltage controlled devices.

So you will need a transistor to boost the voltage to 12 volts.

 

Second: Do you have an actual schematic?

 

Third: Are you using P or N Channel MOSFET’s ? 

Because high current versions like the ones you are using have a built in body 
diode …

 

Get back to us with more info, Ok

Subject: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black won't boot after wiring up LED strip w 
MOSFETs and separate 12V power supply

 

I wired up a circuit with an LED strip, 3 N-channel MOSFETs, and a separate 12V 
power supply, with the gate pins on the MOSFETS connected to I/O pins on the 
Beaglebone.

 

When I didn't connect the circuit to the Bone ground, I apparently fried 2 
boards. Neither will boot up. One gives a flicker on the power light and then 
goes off, and on the other the power light turns on, but the other LEDs don't 
flash and I can't get into either board.

 

Here is the thread on the Adafruit forum with a photo of the circuit: 
http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8 
http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=8t=69691p=353330sid=eff0f5bd69bba9338e6f0ec2d7fa70c4#p353330
 t=69691p=353330sid=eff0f5bd69bba9338e6f0ec2d7fa70c4#p353330

The Adafruit support said that setup should not have hurt the board. 

 

I checked the voltage on the gate pin on each MOSFET that was connected to the 
Bone and it was nominal (~200mA).

 

Does anyone have any ideas on this? How could this have fried 2 boards? 


Thanks for any help.

1st of all IF you used the FETs shown on Adafruit they are logic level FETs, so 
you can drive them directly from the BB.

Resistors are only required if you had used the transistors instead of the FETs.

As discussed you missed the GND wire (Black) as shown on Adafruit.

Where did you measure the 200mV? From the BB GND to the outputs or elsewhere? 
As you don't have a common GND readings are pretty much meaningless.

FETs have a large capacitance on the Gate, without a common ground you could 
have several hundred (or thousands) volts of static charge for a very short 
period, but it could be large enough to kill the processor. Very likely if you 
have carpets around.

If you unplug everything you added to the BB will it boot up again? If not the 
above may be possible.

You seem to be using P9_12, P9_16 and P9_21 they should be safe to use as I'm 
using them on a couple of projects without problems, you MUST add the GND wire 
from any pin 1 or 2 of either P8 or P9 to the GND track of your breadboard.

I may think of something else later on... meanwhile, as I said above, 
unplug everything from the BB and see if it powers up, if not it's shopping 
time again.

Hello;

 

I haven’t read the tutorial, but here are some questions/suggestions.

 

1- Is the Beaglebone powered by an external 5V supply capable of at least 2A ?

2- Is the WiFi dongle connected directly to the USB connector?  Try an 
extension cable.

 

It could be that your original setup was marginal, and as the cpu loading went 
up the noise and

power consumption went up too.

Everything worked as advertised. Added a few pages and tested again everything 
worked. I then moved on to install a wi-fi module using the Adafruit tutorial. 
Once again everything worked as advertised. Some time passes and for no 
apparent reason neither work any more. The only difference between the time 
these worked and the time they didn't is time. No changes were made to the

[beagleboard] Enable / disable watchdog timer ?

2015-03-01 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello all;

 

It seem that the watchdog timer is automatically enabled when the USB-OTG port 
is connected to a PC.

I am running the latest Debian release, and I am wondering if is possible to 
disable watchdog after boot.

Or after a user login ?

 

Do I use something like “close(watchdog)” in a login script ? Or is there 
another/better way ??

 

Thanks;

Basically when the USB-OTG port is connected to my PC, pulling the “power”

removing the +5V supply causes the BBB to power off briefly and then re-boot.

 

It seems to me that there must be a way to disable this, assuming that it is a

[beagleboard] BBB won't power DOWN when power button is pressed

2015-02-28 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello all;

 

I can't remember if there is a fix for this or not.

 

Basically when the USB-OTG port is connected to my PC, pulling the power
signal low or

removing the +5V supply causes the BBB to power off briefly and then
re-boot.

 

It seems to me that there must be a way to disable this, assuming that it is
a feature.

 

Thanks ..

RE: [beagleboard] BeagleBone Black powers down when AC adapter is removed while the USB is connected.

2015-02-25 Thread William Pretty Security
There is a signal, on P9 I believe, called “power”. 

If you pull this pin low with a pushbutton switch, you will get the clean 
shutdown you are looking for.

I like this behaviour and thought I could use it to cleanly shutdown the bbb. I 
therefore connected a 'powerbar' usb battery to the usb otg port. Now when I 
remove the 5V (strangely called ac) I expect a clean shutdown on power 
delivered by my cheap 'ups'. Only I find out that in /this/ case the bbb 
shutdown immediate instead of a clean shutdown!

So there seams to be a difference in connecting the otg usb to a pc or just to 
a powerbar.

Anyone who can explain this behaviour? In my quest to shutdown a bbb simple, 
cheap and clean.

Yes indeed, and that is a perfect way to shut down our baby. It's another way 
of pressing the power button. Thing is you need another 10 sec. of shutdown 
power (to cleanly shutdown).

So I'm looking for the use case where somebody stupid (talking 'bout me) yanks 
the 5V and I still get a clean shutdown. We need external 'ups' power for that 
last 10 sec. of shutdown. Now I keep 5V always on. Till power company screws 
up. 64 million dollar question: how many times can power company screw up 
before bbb screws up?

Question remains why I get a unclean shutdow with me (the stupid one) feeding 
5v to otg usb with powerbar and getting clean shutdown when connected to 
regular pc. 

Call me stupid but the correct answer awaits tickets for the next frank zappa 
concert!

thx,
Michiel

RE: [beagleboard] Control 5V relay with my BeagleBone Black GPIO

2015-02-11 Thread William Pretty Security
You should be able to just the replace the resistors.

On second thought, the LED across the coil was a bad idea.

 

Maybe someone else has a suggestion on that one.

Hi bill,

 

Thanks for your help, so i just have to replace the resistors by new ones, for

Hi;

 

I took a look at both circuits.

There’s uses an opto-isolator, so shorting the LED should work.

 

In your case, the 1K resistor on the base will load the GPIO too much.

I used a 10K base resistor with a 100K pull down. 

Basically multiply both of your values by 10 and you8 should be fine.

I would hook the LED in parallel with the relay coil.

 

Good Luck

[beagleboard] Putty serial setup with Debian Jessie

2015-02-05 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello all;

 

I have just installed Debian Jessie (8) on an x86 machine.

When I went to setup Putty as I did on my Windows Xp machine there was no
way to

Set flow control to none my only options were XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS. 

Does anyone know what is wrong here ?

[beagleboard] Virtual LAN setup/installation in Debian Jessie

2015-02-05 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello All;

 

I have a fresh installation of x86 32 bit Debian Jessie on my PC and I am
trying to find out how to setup

The 'virtual' LAN support that is available for windows machines.

The Getting Started page on the net refers to a page that is 10yrys old L
so I am hoping someone can help here.

 

Given the number of people who cross-compile on x86 machines, I assume there
must be a solution.

The system is now 'embedded' and I don't have easy access to the 10/100 LAN
connector.

 

My fallback plan is to use a wireless adapter, but this solution is not idea
for a number of reasons .

 

Thanks;

 

Bill

One other thing. I tried another uSD card in the same BBB, with a DOS Boot

 I'm getting ready to teach a class starting in March, and I'm trying to 
 figure out which is the stablest point to start my work. 

Well, during testing of 1-25 CircuitCo found one more issue, which was

RE: [beagleboard] for people teaching embedded linux classes, a suggestion ...

2015-01-25 Thread William Pretty Security
Thanks for the advice Robert!

I am currently working thru the same page, more or less as a student :-)
And you suggestions sound excellent. I would be interested to hear you
advice on selecting 
Kernel build options, from the menu. Do you think there is such a thing as a
default configuration ??

Bill

currently working my way through RCN's eewiki beaglebone page here:

https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

and for others who also teach EL classes, here's something i do that seems
to be a bit different from most presentations (and online pages) i've seen.

  most presentations seem to like downloading and building
*everything* (MLO, u-boot, kernel, dtb and rootfs) before getting around to
formatting an SD card, copying it all on, then testing.

  when i'm presenting this, i prefer to do the creation and testing in
bite-size pieces to isolate build errors much faster. for instance, i will
get students to do nothing more than download u-boot source, possibly patch
it, cross-compile, then copy MLO and u-boot.img to the SD card and try to
boot that.

  as long as the class has access to the serial port (i'm assuming that),
the only test they'll be making is if u-boot comes up, and they can stop
there and look around. they'll know they can't go any further, but that's
all right -- that at least verifies that their build and install of u-boot
seems to be fine, and if it isn't, debugging should be easy.

  once that's verified, move on to format the rest of the SD card and copy,
say, just the kernel and dtb file, then try to boot *that*.
again, students will understand there's no rootfs but all they're testing is
if the kernel seems to load and boot. and if it fails, once again, debugging
should be easy.

  finally, add the rootfs. anyway, that's the approach i prefer, and it
seems to work as students like to be able to build *and test* something
fairly quickly, rather than just doing a massive amount of work, and
wondering if it will work in the end.

Could it be because it is USB-3 ?

Can you try a USB2 drive or possibly a smaller capacity drive ???

Subject: [beagleboard] BBB does not recognize usb3 seagate 5TB drive

 

I'm wanting to use a BBB as a backup server for a cloud-based mysqld. I'm 
running ubuntu 13.10 and I got a Seagate 5TB usb3 ntfs expansion drive. I'm 
using it with my desktop that runs centos and everything's OK. But when I tried 
moving the drive to the BBB, it simply does not recognize it, i.e. ls /dev 
shows no difference before and after I plug it in. I'm so used to things like 
this just working that I'm really not sure where to start.

2015-01-24 Thread William Pretty Security
Point your browser at the IP address of the BBB, either the Ethernet one or 
192.168.7.2 which is the USB one.

It will bring up a web page that will tell you everything you need to know J

Subject: [beagleboard] i need help with node.js

 

Hi all,

 

I want to setup a webserver with node.js on the BBB rev.C. Since there is 
cloud9 and bonescript installed as default, it seems to be just a change of 
some setup files (scripts?).

Unfortunately I couldn't find any tutorial that explains the node.js thing from 
the ground up. What I know is that node.js is a java interpreter and a 
webserver must be written. But what is then? Is it started as a service when 
Debian boots? Where can I find these settings.

For example: since now there is a webpage called /Support/bone101 running. I 
assume that the webserver behind is a node.js webserver, isn't it. If so, where 
can I change any script or config file to launch my own website?

 

Questions over questions

or perhaps I don't fully understand your issues ???

 Then I installed the image in 4GB card using Win32 image installer and found
 everything normal. I also removed the card and inserted in my PC and found
 the files with total size of the card to be 95.7 MB and free space to be
 34MB. I think until this point, everything is ok.

 Next is I inserted the card in BBB, and then supplied power (only through
 adapter) while pressing the boot button until a moment after all the LEDs
 glowed. Then it seemed that all LEDs glowed randomly but within 10 seconds,
 only the 3rd LED (D4) from RESET button is lit throught  (many minutes) and
 not the other LEDs.
 I again pressed the power button till the BBB shuts down and removed the
 power and did the same process again. But the same thing happened.

 I waited for ten minutes of flashingand then I shut down BBB and removed the
 card and connected the BBB with my PC through USB and tried to so SSH with
 putty. But it displayed the error stating the connection timed out.

 Please help me find a solution for this! Thank you.

Connect either the HDMI or usb-serial ftdi cable, it'll report what's
wrong on both screens'..

Hi Raj;

 

While others may disagree, I use ONLY class 10 uSD cards.

However your real problem is that you are trying to use a Windows machine to 
read a Linux

for matted memory device!  Only the boot partition is FAT formatted.

 

Just put the uSD card in your BBB and it should work fine …..

I am having very hard time with my microSD card (4GB, Transcend, Class 2) for 
the past several days. I am using Windows 7 and I formatted this card using FAT 
and also FAT32. Then using Win32 disk image installer, I installed Debian 7.7 
eMMC flasher for BBB (Jan 6, 2015 release) in the card.

 

After successful writing, I safely removed the card and inserted it again in 
the PC (using card reader) to check the files, immediately an pop up flashed 
asking to format 

the card. Also, I could not see the card size in 'My computer'.I have done this 
process earlier and it worked well (display of files) but I dont know why it 
doesnot work well.

RE: [beagleboard] Re: Still having problems compiling Kernel :(

2015-01-15 Thread William Pretty Security

 It is a software RAID, and I am struggling with Robert's scripts :(

I dunno anything about that. I can only say what I would do.
I would provide enough info about what I've tried so far then someone might 
know right away what's up.

Ok here we go:

A couple of months ago I was looking for a Debian image with software RAID 
support.
The one I was using did not. Robert kindly pointed me to one that, as it turned 
out had 'crippled' RAID
support. In that while 'md' was present none of the software RAID Modem modules 
were.
I tried to get some help just adding the modules support to my existing 
image. But nobody replied.

So I looked around an found the following instructions:

---
git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel-dev.git
cd ti-linux-kernel-dev
git checkout origin/ti-linux-3.14.y -b tmp
./build_kernel.sh

After that kernel upgrades are as easy as:

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/raring-armhf/v3.8.13-bone28/install-me.sh
sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh

-

The first part compiled a Kernel, but I can't get it to load to a uSD card and 
work properly.
I modified 'system.sh' per the instructions in the README file.

I copied a Debian image to the uSD card and then ran install_kernel.sh. 
I can find out what the image file name was, I just didn't have it handy.
The result was a uSD card that doesn't boot.

All I can think is that there is kernel mismatch or something. 
Either that or I selected the wrong options during the 'build kernel' phase.
That's why I was looking for a .config file from somebody that I know works.

Any help would be REALLY appreciated at this point.

Bill

Haven't done any RAID stuff lately. Are you doing software RAID or hardware 
RAID?
If hardware RAID you need to make sure you have the driver for your controller 
selected.

You may have to fiddle with the order of module loading or something if you're 
trying to boot from a RAID. Initrd?

[beagleboard] Still having problems compiling Kernel :(

2015-01-14 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello All;

 

I managed to compile a kernel and write it to the uSD card, but it won't
boot.

What I am trying to do is probably simple for some of you but I can't seem
to build a kernel that works.

 

What I am trying to create is a Debian image with RAID Kernel module
support. 

I have been trying for over a month now, and could really use some help.

Could someone please provide me with a .conf and instructions or just an
image with RAID support ??

 

Thanks;

branch, but since the he probably hasn¹t setup the tmp branch to track the 
origin/xyz branch, he will get an error. If he did setup the tmp branch to 
track origin/xyz branch, then he would retain all his kernel changes after 
updating his repo.

or just:

git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp
git pull
git checkout origin/xyz -b tmp
In this case William will loose all his kernel changes.

At least I think this is how it works.

Yeah, but I think what Robert was showing you is that GIT is your friend and is 
extremely powerful. I highly recommend that you take the time to learn GIT

I think this is a little more complicated. I¹m guessing William is on 
the tmp branch, but since the he probably hasn¹t setup the tmp branch 
to track the origin/xyz branch, he will get an error. If he did setup 
the tmp branch to track origin/xyz branch, then he would retain all 
his kernel changes after updating his repo.

or just:

git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp
git pull
git checkout origin/xyz -b tmp
In this case William will loose all his kernel changes.

At least I think this is how it works.

RE: [beagleboard] Re: Gpio Relay

2015-01-01 Thread William Pretty Security
Why don’t you just use a 3 volt relay ?

 

I have several on order from Digikey. 

I am basically doing what you are attempting.

I am driving a 3 volt relay from an I/O port. The trick is to use the Digikey 
Search feature to look for a 3 volt relay and NOT a 3.3 version.

If you use a 3 volt relay then the Vce voltage drop of the transistor will not 
affect the relay. (turn on is usually ~2.5v) They also come with built in 
diodes J

If you want to drive a 5V relay with a 3.3V pin use the MOSFET as a switch (as

It's not possible to get 5V out of 3.3V. At least not for beginners.

Hey Carlos;

 

Excellent attempt !

 

RB is 10K and RL is the relay coil. (They probably used ‘L’ to mean coil).

Also, if the transistor has too much gain, and the relay doesn’t turn off 
completely.

Just connect a 100K resistor between the base of the transistor (B) and 0V on 
your schematic.

 

…. And a Merry Christmas to you too J

 Your using the ubuntu-armhf image from armhf.com.. The creator took

 Sorry your choice is only to build the kernel from my scripts and

RE: [beagleboard] Gpio Relay

2014-12-24 Thread William Pretty Security
Use an NPN transistor.  (2N3904, 2N, etc)

 

Connect the emitter to ground. 

Connect the collector to one side of the coil. Connect +5V to the other side of 
the coil.

Connect a 10K resistor between the I/O pin and the base of the transistor.

 

That’s it J

[beagleboard] Ubuntu Kernel version with 'md' module ?

2014-12-23 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello all;

 

I am currently using Ubuntu version: 

Linux ubuntu-armhf 3.8.13-bone20 #1 SMP Wed May 29 10:49:26 UTC 2013 armv7l
armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

 

And the 'md' module which would allow me to setup a RAID array does not
appear to be installed.

I am wondering if it is possible to just upgrade to a kernel version with
this module installed?

And if so, where would I find this version ?

 

Thanks;

And Seasons Greetings to all !

 

Bill

Ok
That's what I thought :(
There is no way to just upgrade the kernel without completely rebuilding the 
Kernel?

Would I not be better off just getting a more recent version say 
3.8.13-bone22 ?

Subject: [beagleboard] Sensing flowmeter / protecting analog input

 

Hi,

 

I'm looking to build a system to sense 'steps' of a hall-effect flowmeter.

 

My first throught is to use a voltage divider and rectifier circuit to get down 
to the 0-1.8v I need.

 

The problem I have is that every install may potentially have a different input 
voltage.

 

I'm wondering if there's a simpler way to do this. I really only need to clip 
the voltage between 0-1.8v, it doesn't matter if it spends 90% of it's time 
clipped and throws away the negative half of the signal completely as I'm only 
interested in a count.

 

The current draw will be in the millivolt-range used by the adc input, so it 
shouldn't need anything too heavy.

 

My first thought is a simple voltage regulator set to 1.8v, but I don't know 
enough about them to know whether it's a viable option or which to choose.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi;

 

If I understand you correctly, you need to use either “su” or “sudo” but not 
both.

 

If you enter:  

sudo . /mksdcard.sh /dev/sdX

 

It will prompt you for a password. 

Just use the password that you used to login.

Hello all,

am banging my head against the wall over something simple, but could some one

BBB working to an external display via HDMI, but am not able to get the lcd to

provided prebuilt images, but am having trouble.

Chipsee's directions state to use:
sudo su ./mksdcard.sh /dev/sdX   (X in this instance is a after checking with 
fdisk -l)

But I keep getting either no passwd for ./mksdcard.sh.  If I drop the sudo su I 
get permission denied.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

dear bbb experts.   

 

for the beaglebone black: 

 

I was playing around with the ubuntu 14.04 and 13.10 images, but this may not 
be the right route.  (on ubuntu, I can't get the fb to work right, X is not 
installed, and it does not come up as 192.168.7.2.  so, maybe I was going too 
exotic.)  are the linux distributions on http://beagleboard.org/latest-images 
the two preferred distributions, as of late 2014?  if so, the two distroes seem 
to be either debian or angstrom.  the debian distro is about 7 months old,  the 
angstrom one is about 1.5 years old (although the flasher is 3 months younger 
than the distro).  their ages seem curiously dated.  but if it works, it works!

 

what do jason and other BBB key developers use?  is angstrom or debian now the 
right supported mass choice?

On-board programming of the radios via 3.3V FTDI cable is support.

 

There are also updates to the MeshDeck available at

Second, the hub should be powered up BEFORE the BBB is booted.

The most common one is right after the line

I followed the instruction to install socket.io 2 or 3 times and think this

I believe this questions has been asked before, but I don't recall an
answer.

I am using the latest Debian image as a starting point and have installed a
number of additional tool in rootfs.

I am using an 8GB uSD card but the roof file system takes up less than 4GB.

 

What I am trying to do is to create an image that is about 4GB and includes
the boot partition plus the used portion of rootfs.

I researched the DD command, but if I understand correctly, I would end up
with an 8GB image.

I know that I can use tar to create an archive of the boot/rootfs
partitions, but that isn't an image.

 

I suppose I could just modify one of Robert Nelson's scripts to
automatically format and copy a uSD card, but I am wondering

If there is a better way ?

 

Thanks;

 

Bill

Subject: [beagleboard] RE: Getting Started with Beaglebone/Seth

 

Hello,

 

My name is Seth. I have had this book for some time now. I am just getting 
around to using it more. Page 41 is the specific place I would like to start.

 

There are six items the book lists to have fun with a lamp.

 

1. BBB

2. 5V DC power supply

3. Ethernet cable

4. PowerSwitch Tail II

5. Hookup Wire

6. Lamp

 

Now, with that stated here, I would like to know exactly what some of these 
items are and how I can find them.

 

I have done some mild research on these items and I keep getting the same 
responses. Do you mean tail? AWG? Oh and the 5V DC power supply is of what 
type? Is it for me connecting my BBB or is it for another source? I know I 
should read on and know more but this list is odd to me because of the 
responses I am getting upfront.

 

So...where can I get a PowerSwitch Tail II, some reliable hook-up wire, and 
where can I get this 5V DC power supply?

 

If you have time to read this short, please reply if you have time.

 

Sincerely,

 

Seth 

 

P.S. I have a BBB and I cannot revise the new revisions. I have had 
complications on my last 12 installs for the new REV.

Thanks again Philip;

 

I can’t find my old scripts that I used to use and I couldn’t find

The originals, using Google. 

Most of the links point to burning an image or step by step and not Robert’s 
script.

Ok

That is the demo that comes with the BBB.

Do you see a web page? I think it is called “Getting Started”.

 

I don’t have the BBB in front of me, but I believe there are a number of 
examples.

Does the one that blinks the User LED work ?

Subject: [beagleboard] Lose memory when writing Debian Image to uSD as well as

Hi I am a complete newbie so request some patience.

I am working with a Rev C BeagleBone Black and have flashed the 5/14/14 image 
of Debian onto the board. 

My issue is the reduction in memory that occurs after writing the image to my 
4GB uSD as well as after flashing the image to the on-board eMMC. In both 
occasions, the memory is reduced to 95.7MB. Due to this reduction, I am not 
able to install any other software onto the board.

Would someone please explain why this is happening in the first place and walk 
me through the steps of how I can gain back all that memory.

I want to finally begin using this thing properly.

 

 

Thank you,

Yan

Hi Chuck;

 

About all that I can help you with is the facts that the latest version of the

Derek Molloy has an excellent tutorial on how to write and compile your own

Is it possible to use this on the BB Black?

Does anyone have schematic for the Cape RF? BeagleBoneToys had next to nothing

Which mode(0-7) is required by the Cape RF on the expansion headers for BB

I see there is a mapping for Expansion Header pinout in EEPROM Where is the

That’s actually a good idea Alan !

 

Unfortunately, by the time it was published, it would be out of date L

You appear to be having the same problems as I did and still do to some extent.

 

I wish there was a web search engine that allowed you to exclude pages older 
than a certain date.

It seems that every time I find the answer to a problem, it turns out to be 
three years old !

 

I also haven’t had a lot of luck posting here either …..

 

Thanks Robert. 

 

Sometimes I feel like finding the right answer for the BBB is like searching 
for used chewing gum in a chicken coop. I've now been able to do several of the 
Forest project exercises (0-3,5) the PWM fails because it refers to ocp.2, and 
I have ocp.3. So I am now a happy camper.  Are you going to write a BBB for 
Dummies book?

Did you hold down the Boot button, near the USB connector ?

If not it will boot from eMMC which has Debian ;-)

ubuntu-14.04-console-armhf-2014-08-13.tar.xz sd card installs Debian, not Ubuntu

 

I did an SD card install of ubuntu 14-04 console following the script 
instructions on eLinix -  I ended up with a Debian console. 

 

 I do not have an ubuntu as a user or temppwd.  I do have a Debian console with 
user set to debian.  Looks great.  Not what I want or expected.  I can login as 
debian, temppwd.

[beagleboard] Ubuntu 12.04 boot problem

2014-09-21 Thread William Pretty Security
Hello All;

 

I am having what appears to be a recurring problem based on past posts,
where my BBB Rev C(?) boots from uSD card to this point and then hangs:

 

[4.517959] Freeing init memory: 288K

[5.664909] init: ureadahead main process (85) terminated with status 5

[   12.226013] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found

[   12.231143] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1

 

However I don't think that net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on
slave 1 is the real problem, because I get the same message

With a successful boot L (Debian eMMC and Ubuntu)

 

I believe that I am running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.8.13-bone20
armv7l), but I can't be sure because of course I can't run uname -a

 

I can however, press a key and interrupt the boot process, and get the uboot
prompt.

Is there any way I can get a log of what happens when it hangs at the [
12.231143] point ?

 

Obviously dmesg won't work L

 

Thanks;

 

Bill

Not sure what is going on here ?

 

I Googled the message, but couldn't find any hits in English L Plenty in

Can anybody help here ??

RE: [beagleboard] Complete newbie

2014-09-19 Thread William Pretty Security
You need to get yourself a good online tutorial. There are several.

 

For starters try, in this order:

 

cd /

 

ls -l

 

That will give a list of the files in the root file system. Kind of like C:\  
in Windows

 

Good luck

All,

 

I'm using the beagle bone to get back into computing so I'm new at Linux. I 
just powered up my Beagle Bone Black and got it connected to my MAC via SSH. 
I'm in via root and have the following prompt:

 

Last login: Wed Apr 23 20:20:36 2014 from 192.168.7.1

root@beaglebone:~# 

 

I'm able to run some basic commands but am not seeing any directory structures 
or files. Is this correct or am I missing something?

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

Subject: [beagleboard] How do I find out what image my brand new Beaglebone 
Black is running?

 

I just got a Beaglebone Black from Adafruit.  It came with debian 
pre-installed. In going though the getting started guide, one of the first 
things it recommends to do is update the image. That's probably a good idea but 
the lastest image is from May so I probably already have it.  I'd like to check 
before going to all the work of flashing a new image but I can't seem to 
determine the version I'm currently running.  It seems like something everyone 
would want to know before they do an update.  Anyone know how to find it?

Thanks.

Hi There!

 

I have a feeling the answer to this question will be no. But, does anybody know 
if it is possible to mount a USB device through the GPIO pins? I need to 
connect two powered devices to the BBB and would rather not use a USB hub 
because of the added weight.

 

Thanks!
