[beagleboard] Edimax EW-7811Un driver
I just tested a Edimax EW-7811Un WiFi dongle on the BeagleBone Back the latest Debian image. It is reported for many user to work, but unfortunately it does not for me. On my notebook with OpenSUSE it works out of the box. However, it seems there is a driver missing from the Debian BeagleBone image: lsusb: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] dmesg on BeagleBone (latest Debian testing image from yesterday) [ 287.628336] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 3 [ 378.891453] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using musb-hdrc [ 378.992624] usb 2-1.2: device v7392 p7811 is not supported [ 378.998456] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 [ 378.998487] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 378.998513] usb 2-1.2: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter [ 378.998538] usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Realtek [ 378.998562] usb 2-1.2: SerialNumber: 00e04c01 [ 379.006472] rtl8192cu: Chip version 0x10 [ 379.090006] rtl8192cu: MAC address: 80:1f:02:d0:ea:a7 [ 379.090053] rtl8192cu: Board Type 0 [ 379.090221] rtl_usb: rx_max_size 15360, rx_urb_num 8, in_ep 1 [ 379.090400] rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin [ 379.093330] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' [ 379.097116] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on dmesg on notebook (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) [48737.955403] usb 2-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci [48738.042037] usb 2-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=7392, idProduct=7811 [48738.042041] usb 2-1.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [48738.042043] usb 2-1.1: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter [48738.042044] usb 2-1.1: Manufacturer: Realtek [48738.042045] usb 2-1.1: SerialNumber: 00e04c01 [48738.073650] rtl8192cu: Chip version 0x10 [48738.161285] rtl8192cu: MAC address: 80:1f:02:d0:ea:a7 [48738.161290] rtl8192cu: Board Type 0 [48738.161532] rtl_usb: rx_max_size 15360, rx_urb_num 8, in_ep 1 [48738.161564] rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin [48738.161828] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu [48738.162519] usb 2-1.1: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 [48738.162522] usb 2-1.1: Falling back to user helper [48738.163283] rtlwifi: Loading alternative firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin [48738.163466] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' [48738.164162] rtlwifi: wireless switch is on Any chances this can be fixed?

Re: [beagleboard] Edimax EW-7811Un driver
Either disable hdmi in /boot/uEnv.txt cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN or get a 3 inch usb extension cable. I do not understand. Why would that make the dongle working? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

Re: [beagleboard] Edimax EW-7811Un driver
Disabling HDMI worked. The dongle showed up as wlan1 so maybe it worked also before (I tried it with a small USB hub), but I did not see it (only checked wlan0). Creating a AP worked fine using this script: https://github.com/hotice/AP-Hotspot -- would be a good addition to the beaglebone Debian image. Am Freitag, 18.

It's due to the hdmi gnd plane being too close to the usb connector for these small usb wifi devices.

[beagleboard] BBIOConfig - BB universal IO UI testing release
Hello BeagleBone community, I have created a UI for Charles BB universal IO tool that will be part of the upcoming Debian image release. Please test and provide feedback. You can find binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows here: https://github.com/strahlex/BBIOConfig/releases For a short introduction take a look at the wiki: https://github.com/strahlex/BBIOConfig/wiki/User-Manual https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sDjRsQsEcC8/U0vNL3XTtII/AHA/h0_6F_rfpxg/s1600/snapshot.png Regards Strahlex -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups BeagleBoard group.

[beagleboard] Re: Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta) image you want to test
Has this image OpenGL/SGX support? I would need it to get QtQuick running on it. Last year I was not able to get the driver compiled but as far as I remember TI has published some kernel patches back then. Am Mittwoch, 5. März 2014 23:51:19 UTC+1 schrieb Jason Kridner: The latest BeagleBone Debian images are now posted at: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images/ If you've upgraded the firmware on your BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black in the past, the experience will be quite similar, but you might find the eMMC flashing times a bit faster (~15 minutes rather than ~45 minutes) due to less post-installation processing. 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. Many, many thanks to Robert Nelson, Rob Rittman, Dave Anders, Cody Lacey, the Cloud9 IDE team and so many others in getting us this far. Please take the time to give a detailed look over this image and report any issues to the bug tracker on elinux.org: http://bugs.elinux.org/projects/debian-image-releases While plugged in over USB, you'll see the familiar BEAGLE_BONE drive with START.htm to tell you how to get the drivers configured if you haven't already done so: [image: Inline image 2] Clicking the link or visiting http://192.168.7.2, you'll see the familiar on-board served documentation: [image: Inline image 1] I've introduced a few bugs to the documentation ( http://github.com/beaglebone/bone101 and http://beagleboard.github.io/bone101), so expect to find a lot of issues there. Patches are welcome as are notes in the bug tracker to make sure I don't miss dotting any i's or crossing any t's. This is your chance to try to get some documentation into the system you'd like to see. I felt it was pretty safe to save the documentation as an in-beta item because it shouldn't impact functionality. One of the biggest new features you'll see is when you click on the Cloud9 IDE link: [image: Inline image 3] This is a pre-open-source-beta-only release of version 3 of their IDE. Down at the bottom of the Cloud9 IDE you'll see a new terminal window that runs a full 'tmux' session. 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 ( http://learn.adafruit.com/blinking-an-led-with-beaglebone-black/writing-a-program ): [image: Inline image 4] You should also note that the /var/lib/cloud9 directory now contains a git clone of that bone101 repo (http://github.com/beagleboard/bone101), so you can start using the Cloud9 IDE to edit the content live. What I recommend is creating your own fork of the repo and sending me pull requests of any changes you'd like to see. You can also edit C/C++ code in the Cloud9 IDE, but no 'builder' or 'runner' plug-ins are provided. You will, however, find the Userspace-Arduino (http://elinux.org/Userspace_Arduino) code in /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino. Here's a quick little exercise you can do to blink LED0: root@beaglebone# cd /opt/source/Userspace-Arduino/arduino-makefile/examples/Blink root@beaglebone# perl -i -pe 's/13/14/g' Blink.ino root@beaglebone# make root@beaglebone# ./build-userspace/Blink.elf For more advanced C/C++ developers, future releases should include https://github.com/jackmitch/libsoc. Those familiar with Linux will also note that the init system is 'systemd', which has been helpful in providing reasonable boot times. If you are looking for the journal, you can explore it using 'systemd-journalctl'. I use a Mac and despite the latest version of HoRNDIS fixing issues with Internet Connection Sharing, getting on the WIFI at home makes getting my BeagleBones on the network much easier, further making grabbing new packages with 'sudo apt-get install' much simpler. Drivers and firmware for many common USB WiFi dongles are included, so be sure to report any that you find missing. These latest images include the drivers for the popular UWN200 adapters provided by Logic Supply. To test it out myself, I uncommented and edited the wlan0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces (including replacing wlan0 with ra0), shutdown, plugged in the adapter and powered up the board again. I'm seeing the issue rt28xx_open return fail!, but I'm sure this is something we can fix in a few days and provide an updated image. I removed that adapter and plugged in an adapter I bought from Adafruit (and switched ra0 back to wlan0) and got the issue rtl8192cu:_rtl92cu_init_power_on():0-0 Failed to polling

Hi guys, TI finally responded to my request. Still cant get it working but at least the GPU is now running.

[beagleboard] Re: OpenGL (SGX-PVR drivers) on BeagleBone Black
Hello, Was anyone successful with that? Currently I am trying to install the SGX driver on my BeagleBone. I got to the point where I was able to create some kernel modules. Has anyone an idea how to further proceed? Can maybe someone post a step by step guide on how to install the SGX drivers on the Bone? Am Samstag, 18.
