[beagleboard] generic-boot-script.sh and the year 2030 ?
Greetings, We have several BBB systems that are happily running Debian via the very handy 'flasher' distro. Thank you very much for providing these! However, we have one unit, that sometimes boots up in the year 2030 -- well that is what it thinks anyway. I noticed the generic-boot-script.sh tries to bring the date into the 'ball park', but it does not seem to handle the case of being so far in the future... Also, NTPD seems to exit, even though I thought it was supposed to allow the very first setting of extreme different time. To compound the trouble, the system is behind a firewall, and OpenVPN does not work because it thinks our certificates are expired. I welcome suggestions as to a good fix for this problem. thank you, William -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Greetings, I love the work you are doing Robert -- thank you! I especially like the lean/small 'console' flasher images, but I have yet to figure out the best way to add missing modules -- for example ftdio_sio... I see they are included on the larger lxde images. I will check your 3rd party repo next. I can extract the missing modules from the lxde image manually, but I didn't want to do this if there is a more standard way of doing this -- I expect to do this several times. thank you!

Re: [beagleboard] Re: debian: release candidate: 2014-12-11
My mistake, I am very sorry. The ftdi driver is there on this console flasher image. What is missing on the flasher, is the firmware for my wifi -- htc_9271.fw However, on the uSD card image, after switching to the TI kernel, via update_kernel.sh there seem to be no ftdi_sio module. This may not matter -- I am not sure that I would use the TI kernel, except that if I understand correctly, it is considered a 'long term' version. by the way, for my use case, eMMC reliability and USB host support are the key factors. So I am attempting to evaluate each of your offerings.

They should have the same kernel/modules, which one are we missing? I know the lxqt (with v3.14.x) is not 100% in sync with the v3.8.x used on the lxde/console..

Very good, I did notice that there was a ti-r41 update. To follow-up, for those of us trying to add to the (very nice -- lean is good ) console flasher image, is there a way to add missing firmware via a script/repo, or should I plan on grabbing missing items manually? I could set up my own in-house variation of your flasher, using your tools, I know. But it seems like others would benefit from a central location. thank you again!

This may not matter -- I am not sure that I would use the TI kernel, except that if I understand correctly, it is considered a 'long term' version. Ah! My mind wasn't clear on what you meant on ftdi_sio. So yes i'll add the configs to the default v3.14.x branch. ;) I just re-fixed the lcd's with r41 today but i'll start adding more configs by default. by the way, for my use case, eMMC reliability and USB host support are the key factors. So I am attempting to evaluate each of your offerings. For that, v3.14.x is your best choice, btw, you should also make sure you've upraded to r41: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.14.26-ti-r41 sudo reboot As there was an ethernet usb fix in the ti merge from today included: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/ti-linux-kernel/compare/c5591108a697733b6370ef8682802e0112a6c4e7...f733aa036398f9e8578f90406a90a709e00cf60f 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.

oops, I should have known there would be a debian package for various firmware... Very nice! thanks for your great work, and your patience.

[beagleboard] linux kernel 3.12.0-rc7 usb webcam 0bda:5801 uvcvideo hangs on beaglebone black
Greetings, First, thank you Robert Nelson for the fine work, moving the beaglebone black forward to the latest kernels! I've got a usb webcam, 0bda:5801 , that works with the TI PSP 3.2.x kernel, but not with the 3.8.x or 3.12.0-rc7 kernels. I am using the Wheezy distro. It hangs -- not only with my small python extension grabber, but also with standard programs like Camorama and luvcview. The outputs from uvcdynctrl -l, and v4l2-ctl -V, seem reasonable, yet the programs hang, right away, on the first frame. I think the problem is related to DMA, so I am hoping there is some kernel parameter that I can tweak to get it working. It is a special camera, so I can't just toss it and choose another one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
