[beagleboard] BBAI USB-C only enumerates as high speed device with cable in one orientation

[nick . graumann]

Hello,

I have noticed that my BBAI Rev A1, when connected to a PC, will enumerate 
as a high-speed USB device with the USB-C connector in one orientation, and 
a Super-Speed device with the connector oriented in the other direction 
(simply flipped upside down). I have reproduced this across several 
software revisions including the production emmc image: 
http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/am57xx-eMMC-flasher-debian-9.9-lxqt-armhf-2019-08-03-4gb.img.xz

I checked the 
https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-ai/wiki/System-Reference-Manual#board-changes
 
page and did not see any changes related to USB in any of the newer 
revisions. I was wondering if there are others who also have experienced 
this issue, or if it could be isolated to my specific board. I have 
reproduced the issue with several different USB-C cables including a USB 
A->USB-C and USB-C -> USB-C cable.

[beagleboard] CAN setup and auto loading

[Nick]

Hi,


I’m completely new to both Beaglebone and Embedded Linux, but I decided to 
learn both in order to use Beaglebone Black as a development environment 
for a project which needs to include Can Bus interface. This forum and 
Molloy’s book are huge help of course, but some topics do require more info 
to complete the picture.

In order to enable CanBus on Beaglebone, I did all the steps described in 
various places including the book – 


a) GPIO configuration using BB-CAN1-00A0.dtbo device tree overlay,

b) LKM deployment using modprobe and finally

c) Interface enabling using the ip link set and ifconfig <> up command.


This all makes sense, but I still have a few questions:


a) In order to do these three steps automatically on bootup, it is 
necessary to edit uBoot.txt (which I did) and that will take care of GPIO 
configuration. Editing /etc/network/interfaces will take care of interface 
enabling, but I still don’t understand what is the way to automatically 
load necessary Kernel modules.


b) Also, my understanding at the moment is that these modules are a part of 
SocketCan network protocol base driver, but I would appreciate if someone 
can confirm (or not) this.


c) Right after power-up, lsmod tells me that c_can_platform is loaded, 
together with it’s dependancies – c_can and can_dev. What is the reason 
these two were loaded but not the can_raw which is mentioned as required in 
every tutorial? Loading of can_raw also causes it’s dependency – can module 
to load. How come this one was not loaded automatically with others?


d) Finally, same as some previous posters I see a problem with pins. After 
enabling the can0 interface I can see it being loaded using ifconfig 
command. I can use it in the loopback mode using /can-utils/candump can0 & 
followed by /can-utils/cansend can0 123#123456.

Howeveer, it can’t be uses for the actual physical connection as all 
relevant pins are reported as not configured: for pins 19, 20, 24, 26, I 
get: config-pin -q P9_26 à P9_26 pinmux file not found! And Pin has no 
cape: P9_26.  I do have Waveshare RS485/Can Cape connected to the BBB.

Thanks a lot,


Nick

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Debian 8 vs Debian 9

[Nick]

Thank you very much David.
I certainly don't care too much about not being able to connect via serial 
port, but, like I said, I can't connect to Internet via shared network 
connection on my PC, which is something I have no problems doing with 
Debian 8.

[beagleboard] Debian 8 vs Debian 9

I hope some of you experts can help with this issue.
I learned how to connect to internet via USB port and shared network 
connection and it works fine for me with Debian 8. However, I just loaded 
the latest Debain 9.5 and many things appear to be different: a) Windows 
device manager complains about "CDC Serial" driver; b) Serial port has

USB-serial connection, SSH works; d) Network connections now show RNDIS 
network - not "Linux USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget" connection like with 
earlier Debian, e) I can't connect BBB to internet using shared Network 
Connection, which is something I have no problems doing with earlier 
Debian. I still have Windows drivers that I installed when I first 
connected BBB running Debian 8.? Should I remove them, update them, or 
install the new drivers without touching the old ones? According to the new 
BBB instructions, Debian 9 doesn't require any Windows drivers, but what if 
I already have them installed? Would that cause my network problems? I'll 
be very grateful if you can help me with this one. In the meantime, I'm not 
flushing eMMC with the latest Debian. Thanks in advance, Nick

[beagleboard] Re: Adding BBB Support For Kotlin Native

[Nick Apperley]

Linux Mint uses the same back-end (general infrastructure/software) as 
Ubuntu. So Ubuntu 14.04 is the base for Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 16.04 is the 
base for Linux Mint 18 for instance. No need to switch from Linux Mint to 
Ubuntu since Linux Mint has a reputation for being the most user 
friendly/reliable Linux Desktop distribution. GitHub isn't the best place 
to host large binary files.

I already have my own BBB for testing, why would I want another one? All 
development I am doing to add BBB support for Kotlin Native isn't 
commercially motivated, if anything it is for the benefit of the entire 
Kotlin community. Is there an issue with contributing to the community for 
non-commercial gain?

[beagleboard] Adding BBB Support For Kotlin Native

[Nick Apperley]

Greetings. I am a Kotlin  community member that is 
working on adding BBB support for Kotlin Native 
 and need some help with the 
following:


   - Selecting a suitable toolchain that will work on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, 
   and possibly Debian (hosts) for cross compilation to the BBB
   - Setting up a sysroot (libraries, config files to include etc)
   - What C libraries to use with the toolchain (if applicable)
   - Standard C library to use for the embedded side (for use in a 
   *"Blinky"* Kotlin Native sample program on the BBB side)
   - Hosting for the Kotlin Native BBB toolchain and sysroot (stored as 
   *tar.gz* files)
   

Now for a bit of background Kotlin Native uses the Kotlin programming 
language, and LLVM  for developing native programs 
(executables) that work on multiple platforms (Linux x86-64, Mac OSX, ARM 
Cortex A SBC's etc) without a virtual machine. Currently there is automatic 
reference counting for automatic memory management (no GC implemented), and 
manual memory management can also be used. Interoperability 
 is 
available for C (not C++) libraries, which has a partial reliance on libffi 
. There are some Kotlin Native samples 
 available 
with the most sophisticated one being a Tetris 
 
game which uses the SDL  library.


The Kotlin programming language was created by JetBrains 
 (the company that sells tools like PyCharm 
 and IntelliJ 
). Andrey Breslav is the language founder 
who named Kotlin after Kotlin Island 
 near Saint Petersburg, 
Russia. Kotlin is designed to be a programmatic (industrial), Object 
Orientated (is multi paradigm) programming language, which is fully 
inter-operable with Java (Kotlin JVM only), and is open source 
 (Apache 2). Average time for learning 
Kotlin  is around 3 days, 
although some people can pickup Kotlin in a few hours. Main areas where 
Kotlin is used are Android, and server side (especially micro web services) 
development. You might be interested in listening to some Talking Kotlin 
 podcasts which cover other areas where Kotlin 
has been used.


Would be highly appreciated (also grateful) by the Kotlin Native team if 
the Beaglebone Foundation could send a BBB to JetBrains in order to ensure 
that Kotlin Native properly supports the BBB. Important to note that Kotlin 
is split into three platforms:



   - Kotlin JVM (Kotlin on the Java platform)
   - Kotlin JS (Kotlin on the web)
   - Kotlin Native (Kotlin on native platforms without a virtual machine)

[beagleboard] UARTs and pin names

[Nick Grey]

Hi

I'm looking @ the BB Black for a project. I need 4 UARTs for this, only one 
of which needs to have RTS CTS flow control.

The Black seems to fit the bill, but looking at 
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Cape_Expansion_Headers in section 4.5 Serial 
UARTS the pins for UART5 are suffixed with a "+". Anyone know why this is? 
I'm guessing it's a potential conflict with another peripheral option.

One other thing I'm not 100% sure about is the GPIO pins have 8 different 
modes. I assume these can be set on a per-pin basis? (as opposed from 
choosing from one of 8 predefined sets for the whole chip)

If it's relevant my overall requirement is:

4 UART
Ethernet
USB host
microSD card
10 GPIOs
Audio (analog - will need to add codec)
No display

Thanks
Nick

[Nick Cripps]

Thanks for the info. Will look forward to seeing them on RS in the coming
weeks then. Good luck with the US distributors.

[beagleboard] BeagleBoard-X15 production board update

[Nick Cripps]

Hi,

Apologies if this has been covered recently. 

I am wondering what the current status of BeagleBoard-X15 production boards is. 
The wiki seems to imply that production boards would be shipping this week but, 
it also says that only A2 versions are currently available. Can anyone clarify 
what is on sale on RS UK as a BeagleBoard-X15 here 
https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/processor-microcontroller-development-kits/8874764/
 and, if it is not a production board, when they are expected to go on sale in 
the UK?

Many thanks,
Nick

Re: [beagleboard] track width of external/internal layer

thanks John

let say i am using the same PCB material then is the bellow statement true 

50ohm single ended impedance control marked in red represent all signal 
lines like spi,i2c,uart, gpio including power lines in which case the track 
width of power line is also 4.75 mils on external layer and 5.25 miles on

[beagleboard] track width of external/internal layer

[Nick]

Dear BeagleBoard

I have a Beaglebone black hardware and have few question regarding the same 
in some document i found the layer stack up dimension in mils it is 
mistyped as inched anyway. 

<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qz23YbGfDBM/VxEULsycp5I/AKQ/ZjgCUqH28WIPO0VD4rvFiqyIU4GP5pj8wCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-04-15%2Bat%2B17.16.56.png>

   1. does this track width (50ohm single ended impedance control) marked 
   in red represent all signal lines like spi,i2c,uart, gpio including power 
   lines in which case the track width of power line is also 4.75 mils on 
   external layer and 5.25 miles on internal layers ?

Re: [beagleboard] BeagleBone PCB stackup

[Nick]

Hello gerald/forum

I had a look at BeagleBone_Black_RevB4_FAB.pdf
in there i can see for the 50 ohm impedance signal with a track width of 
4.75 on external layers and 5.25 on internal layers
so does that mean power supply lines are also 4.75 track width on external 
layer and 5.25 on internal layer


Regards
Nick

[beagleboard] RNDIS doesn't work with console images for BBB

[Nick B]

When I program my BBB with lxde based Debian images from 
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2015-03-01 
the RNDIS driver seems to function correctly and I can ping and ssh into my 
BBB through USB.  However when I program the console
only images, the RNDIS connection doesn't work correctly.  I am using a 
Windows 7 PC, and I can see the new network connection get created
when I plug in the BBB, but it says Network Cable Unplugged.  This behavior 
is the same whether I use the Flasher images or the SD Card images, 
current release (2015-03-01) or snapshots.  Is there something different 
about the console images that prevents the RNDIS from working correctly?
Is there a way that I can get the same behavior with the smaller console 
images?

Re: [beagleboard] Beaglebone Black and Windows 8.1

[Nick Wernicke]

There really isnt anything wrong with the shipped debian os. I have a
custom angstrom build i have been using for a long time with some
networking options and a loadable module i made/am making.

I borrowed a friends win7 laptop and my image copied perfectly on the first
try. Im just bitter that win 8.1 seems to fail and waste time in so many
ways.

[beagleboard] Beaglebone Black and Windows 8.1

[Nick Wernicke]

Hello all, I gave my old (Angstrom) BBB to a friend, and purchased new one, 
which apparently comes with Debian. I need to get that *&(%^ off of there 
and get a proper embedded OS onto it so I can run C/C++ programs and use 
device trees.

Has anyone noticed that the win32 disk imager doesn't seem to work in 
windows 8.1? Is there a fix for that? 
Has anyone noticed that the beaglebone drivers don't recognize properly in 
windows 8.1? I can't even tell which device it is to apply the drivers 
manually: Integrated USB bridge, Unknown USB Device, or USB Input Device.

Presumably the closed source driver is an installer that is run on any 
Freescale imx6 board. If that is the case then TI's GPU support is **ahem, 
cough, cough** severely lacking.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

Looks as though Freescale have made the closed source driver available for 
all the GPUs they use (Vivante). Have heard that JavaFX programs will run 
via the framebuffer (hardware rendering) just fine with both the closed 
(official) and open source (unofficial - reverse engineered) Vivante GPU 
drivers.

Robert - What is the performance like with a Dual Core Cortex A9 compared

FYI OpenJFX 1.8u40 includes Dialog/Alert API 
. If you use the 
Oracle JDK then you will have to wait until around March 2015 to take 
advantage of the new API.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

Basic overview of setting up a BBB running Ubuntu 14.04 to run a JavaFX 
program (*rough draft*):

1. Add unofficial OpenJDK 8 PPA
2. Update package list
3. Install OpenJDK 8 JamVM package
4. Make sure OpenJDK is installed by running *java -version* in a terminal 
(should see OpenJDK 1.8 being mentioned in the output)
5. Build DirectFB 1.6
6. Install DirectFB to */usr*
7. Extract OpenJFX 1.8u40 runtime file (7z) using *p7zip* and copy the lib 
directory to the OpenJDK 8 JRE directory
8. Run Ensemble8 demo in X11 via LXDE to make sure that a JavaFX program 
will run properly:

*java -Djavafx.platform=DirectFB -jamvm -jar 
/home/a_user/sample_dir/Ensemble8.jar*



Would it be possible to have a JavaFX section in the BBB wiki on the ELinux 
website?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

Do be aware with OpenJFX that JavaFX programs on the BBB will only run in 
X11 with DirectFB being specified as the renderer. DirectFB on the BBB with 
the current revision of OpenJFX that I was using had the bizarre GTK 
requirement, which prevents the framebuffer (no X11) from being used. Also 
a custom version of DirectFB must be built and installed. There is an 
ancient version of DirectFB in the Debian/Ubuntu repository but it doesn't 
work with OpenJFX or JavaFX.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

By default OpenJDK 8 uses the Zero JVM which doesn't provide a high level 
of performance. Highly recommended to use the high performance JamVM JVM 
instead, which is comparable performance wise to the JVM used in Oracle's 
Java SE Embedded 8. JamVM was originally designed to perform well on 
resource constrained embedded devices. Java 8 Lambda features can be used 
in a JavaFX program on an embedded device using JamVM, which the Oracle JVM 
doesn't support (in the case of Java SE Embedded 8).

Successfully built OpenJFX from the newest HG revision at the time of this 
post. OpenJFX build took just over 3 min on a Linux Mint 17 Intel Core 2 
Duo laptop. Not sure why I thought the build was going to take around 30 
min.

Must not be much in OpenJFX or the laptop is reasonably fast at compiling

Hopefully if the custom build of OpenJDK 8 works then that can be adjusted 
to work on the stable Debian/Ubuntu images for the BBB.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

Thanks for that. Discovered that JamVM isn't an actual JRE since it relies 
on the class libraries which are available in OpenJDK. JamVM is only a JVM 
(Java Virtual Machine). From the outset JamVM *might* be able to run JavaFX 
programs since it is compatible with OpenJDK 8. IcedTea (OpenJDK 
derivative) uses JamVM as its JVM.

Originally JamVM was designed to perform well on very resource constrained 
embedded devices. Now JamVM can be used on Linux PCs (x86/AMD64).

Thanks for the update. Damm, oh well there is the option to do a custom 
OpenJFX build. Hardest part is to do a custom build of OpenJDK 8 for ARM. 
Having great difficulty in tracking down good documentation in this area, 
specifically for the ARM side. Might be worth looking at the CACAO and 
JamVM JREs (Java 8 compatible?) and seeing if they will be compatible with 
the OpenJFX runtime.

Below are some handy links for creating custom builds of OpenJDK and 
OpenJFX.

- Building OpenJFX 
<https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Building+OpenJFX>
- Building OpenJFX For ARM 
<https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/OpenJFX/Cross+Building+for+ARM+Hard+Float>

<https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/wiki/How-to-build-and-package-OpenJDK-8-with-OpenJFX-on-Linux>
 (x86 
only)

H Looks as though Debian officially has some packaging for OpenJFX, 
however they would need to also have packaging for OpenJDK 8 too in order 
for OpenJFX to work. Wonder if the packaging targets x86 only or if it 
extends to ARM as well. Robert - If you have time can you please look into 
this one.

Sounds as crazy like building DirectFB 1.6 on the BBB running Debian. 
Amazing considering the BBB only has 512 MB of RAM and swap isn't enabled.

@Robert - Are you referring to OpenJFX for a Deb package. See that there is 
still no OpenJDK 8 package for Ubuntu/Debian, how annoying. OpenJFX (ARM) 
is reported to work on OpenJDK 8 (ARM).

Building OpenJDK is not for the faint of heart. Attempting to do so would 
likely result in a brain dump. Also a super computer would be required to 
do the build in quick time, which I don't have.

Luckily doing a build of OpenJFX in desktop Linux is straightforward and 
can be done in around 30 min on a Intel Core 2 Duo laptop for example.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

Open source GPU driver is called etna_viv. Phoronix have an article 
<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI3MjU> covering 
etna_viv. No package for the open source driver yet. Momentarily got 
confused with the gpu-viv-acc-fb package which only contains the closed 
source Vivante GPU driver, not the open source one that I thought the 
package had.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

You're not going to like this suggestion. Far better option to get JavaFX 
and OpenJFX working and performing well is to run JavaFX programs on a 
Wandboard <http://www.wandboard.org/> (eg the Dual version) since all the 
Vivante GPUs are supported, even graphics acceleration via both GPUs. Sadly 
the GPU on the BBB will *NEVER *be fully supported as long as Imagitech 
<http://www.imagitech.co.uk/> refuse to completely release the 
specifications for all of its GPUs.

Plenty of people are in the same situation with trying to get the SGX GPU 
working on the BBB but to no avail. So much time spent trying to get the 
GPU supported. To make matters worse the Beaglebone Foundation's upcoming 
Beagleboard 
X15  also contains a SGX GPU. 
Extremely FRUSTRATING!

Much better off spending the money on a Wandboard to get JavaFX programs 
running easily. Ubuntu/Debian have a package containing the open source 
Vivante GPU driver which covers most of the Vivante GPUs (2D and 3D ones). 
Easy as pie to install the GPU driver via *apt-get* (single step). Wish it 
was the same with the BBB.

Why does the Beaglebone Foundation always insist on using a SGX GPU in 
every board that gets released?

Re: [beagleboard] Re: JavaFX 8 on BeagleBone Black (SGX driver problem?)

[Nick Apperley]

Managed to get OpenJFX  
(open source version of JavaFX) working on the BBB, however it is running 
on Ubuntu. Got a sample JavaFX program (Ensemble) working by accident on 
X11 by specifying a renderer that isn't supported by OpenJFX. Key part here 
is that you *must* specify the unsupported renderer otherwise no JavaFX 
program will start, and some errors will appear in the terminal. Automatic 
renderer detection with OpenJFX is currently broken.

Big mystery as to what renderer is being used since it isn't listed in the 
Monocle  wiki page 
on the OpenJDK website. X11 render doesn't work just in case anyone was 
wondering. Note that there are no existing builds of OpenJFX available to 
use on the BBB. A custom build must be created which is only compatible 
with Java SE 8 Embedded and Java SE 8.

[beagleboard] Re: Starting Up Programs Automatically With LXDE

[Nick Apperley]

Automatically starting the shell script when logging into LXDE works fine 
in a Lubuntu 12.04 VM. For some strange reason the same thing can't be done 
on the BBB. No error messages appear anywhere, a real mystery. There may be 
an issue with Java since some of the other shell scripts (not using Java) 
start up without any issues on the BBB.

[beagleboard] BBB xylotex bbb_db25 cape to control a probotix V90

[Nick Appelmans]

Hi BeagleBoard group members. 
I have a Fireball V90  
(PBX RF breakout) that I purchased a couple of years ago. I built the kit, 
got it running with an old windows box and then got hired and let it sit. I 
made a stab at replacing the failing windows box with a beaglebone black 
and xylotex bbb_db25 cape 
.
 
Now, I'd like to interface the V90 and the xylotex bbb_db25 cape and was 
wondering if there was someone else who has used this setup and posted 
something on the web. So far my Google searches come up empty.

I have experience in 3d printing and electronics and am comfortable with 
Linux. I am also planning to take a CNC course at our local community 
college this spring since I am new to CNC. So, my question to the group is 
has anyone heard of driving this system with a Beaglebone black and xylotex 
bbb_db25 cape? If not, I would probably try to incorporate the information 
in the http://probotix.com/cnc_downloads emc2 config files into Linux_CNC. 
Can anyone give me some heads up on how to check the pins from the bbb_db25 
cape for correct signals before I connect to the PBX RF breakout V90 
control board?
Thanks for any thoughts you guys might have.

[beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black and Web Servers?

[Nick Apperley]

Couldn't find anything conclusive about Django and the BBB (Beaglebone 
Black). However I found this blog post 

 
on Django and the Raspberry PI. Looking at the blog post it looks as though 
Django doesn't use any native C/C++ libraries, which means it can be used 
on both X86 (eg Linux laptop/desktop) and Arm platforms (eg BBB/Raspberry 
Pi). Since the Raspberry Pi uses Debian some minor changes might need to be 
made to install Django when using Ubuntu even though it is based on Debian.

[Nick Apperley]

Have answers to some of your questions. See the replies below:

(i) Apache
(ii)Linux (Debian or Ubuntu)

Not sure if Django can be installed on the BBB. Will largely depend upon 
whether or not Django uses any native C/C++ libraries.

Re: [beagleboard] SGX drivers on Kernel 3.8.13

[Nick Apperley]

Tried out the idea by running the program remotely and ended up with the 
same error. Did it again via DirectFB instead of EGL 2 and ended up with a 
Linux style BSOD (Black Screen of Despair). Luckily I could run my pygame 
demo (remotely) to reset the screen back to normal.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Created a demo Python script using Pygame . Ran the 
script remotely on the BBB and discovered that the framebuffer can be 
accessed by technologies other than QT Embedded (C/C++ only), however 
DirectFB  had to be used since access to the 
driver API (EGL 2) is restricted to QT Embedded. Somewhat strange that the 
driver supplied by TI has a library dedicated to QT Embedded (special 
treatment), yet other technologies use the other libraries supplied by the 
driver. Comes across as underhanded that other technologies except for QT 
Embedded aren't given proper support.

TI *SHOULD* be following Google's example with Android by providing equal 
API access to all regardless of the specific technology that is used.

Going to rebuild DirectFB with the following:

=

*./configure --with-inputdrivers=none \*

*--with-gfxdrivers=gles2,omap,pvr2d \*

*--enable-egl \*

*--without-tools --disable-static \*

*--prefix=/usr*

=

When the configure was done the following message appeared:

 gl egl packages not found -- Building without EGL support.*



Which gl egl packages is DirectFB referring to?  Noticed during the 
configure stage that DirectFB has picked up the omap video driver, which I 
am assuming is used on the BBB and not the pvr2d one.

This time when running the sample program locally a *segmentation fault*

Just realised that I installed an experimental version of DirectFB from the

do the trick.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

Managed to successfully install DirectFB (specified *omap* for the video 
driver) on the BBB. However when I tried to run the sample JavaFX 8 program 
the following errors appeared:

[Nick Apperley]

Found an Oracle article 
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/embedded/develop-platforms/javafx.htm> on 
getting JavaFX 8 to work on a Beagleboard-xM which may be relevant to the 
BBB. In the article DirectFB <http://www.directfb.org/> is used for 
graphics rendering however it is done in software, which may be BRUTAL 
performance wise. Might be worth trying the DirectFB method which could 
work for other technologies that require EGL 2 support (eg Kivy 
<http://kivy.org> for Python).

Made no difference adding the -Djavafx.platform=eglfb VM parameter. Not 
highly knowledgeable about Minecraft but does the game use Java2D?

Robert,

Thank you for helping out, highly appreciated. Now I am at a difficult 
position where the ball is in TI's court with properly implementing the EGL 
2 APIs. No JavaFX programs can be run on the BBB via the frame buffer until 
that issue is resolved. At least the SGX demos are working fine now so 
there is some hope on getting the GPU utilised throughout the OS (Debian, 
Ubuntu etc).

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Now when I try to run the sample JavaFX 8 program (locally or remotely) 
different error messages appear like the following:

===
Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22
cmd : cd '/home/debian/NetBeans_Projects//JavaFX_Test'; 
'/home/debian/ejre-1.8.0_fx/bin/java'  -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8   -jar 
/home/debian/NetBeans_Projects//JavaFX_Test/dist/JavaFX_Test.jar 
*eglGetConfigAttrib failed!*
Graphics Device initialization failed for :  es2
Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found
===

Getting very close towards the end goal (?). Spotted in the EGL ApI Docs 

 
by chance that the *eglGetConfigAttrib* function according to the 
description, *"return information about an EGL frame buffer configuration"*. 
Discovered indirectly from the docs that JavaFX needs direct access to the 
frame buffer and doesn't require *X Server* to be running. Right now I am 
assuming that JavaFX can now create an EGL surface but cannot obtain 
configuration information for the frame buffer which is needed to render 
everything else graphics wise, hence an exception (error) is 
thrown/displayed.

I suspect that the SGX driver is being very naughty by withholding vital 
frame buffer configuration information needed for graphics rendering. Is TI 
going to properly fix this serious issue?

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

Resolved the issue on Debian by creating */etc/init/sgx-startup.sh *file which 
contains the following:

=
#!/bin/sh -e
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:  sgx-startup.sh
# Required-Start:$local_fs
# Required-Stop: $local_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:  0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start daemon at boot time
# Description:   Enable service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
start)
if [ -d /sys/devices/ocp.*/5600.sgx ] ; then
echo "sgx: Starting PVR"

modprobe -q pvrsrvkm

# Delete the device for PVR services device and recreate with the
# correct major number.
#
pvr_maj=$(grep "pvrsrvkm$" /proc/devices | cut -b1,2,3)

if [ -e /dev/pvrsrvkm ] ; then
rm -f /dev/pvrsrvkm
fi

mknod /dev/pvrsrvkm c $pvr_maj 0
chmod 666 /dev/pvrsrvkm

if [ -f /usr/local/bin/pvrsrvctl ] ; then
/usr/local/bin/pvrsrvctl --start --no-module

modprobe -q omaplfb
fi
fi
;;
reload|force-reload|restart)
if [ -d /sys/devices/ocp.*/5600.sgx ] ; then
echo "sgx: Restarting PVR"
fi
;;
stop)
exit 0
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/sgx-startup.sh 
{start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload}"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0
=

Once the file was created the SGX daemon was started by running the 
following:

*sudo sh /etc/init/sgx-startup.sh*


Run one of the SGX demos (eg Magic Lantern) and volla! :)

Just for reference with Debian on BBB where would the following be located:

   - *rc.pvr* daemon
   - Startup script for SGX driver (*sgx-startup-debian.sh*)


Been trying to find the 2 mentioned files. Running *lsmod | grep omaplfb* 
doesn't 
return any results. Rather bizarre considering that the SGX install was 
successful (no errors displayed), or so I thought.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Do the SGX demos work on Debian 7.5 with the 3.13.9-bone9 kernel?

Oh that's right, the rc.pvr daemon was already running but needed to be 
given the equivalent of a reboot in order to avoid the *EGL_BAD_ALLOC *
error.

Robert,

Did you check to see if the rc.pvr daemon is running before running one of 
the demos? Did have the *PVRShell: EGL Error (EGL_BAD_ALLOC) *error but 
managed to resolve it by restarting the rc.pvr daemon. Really weird that 
the daemon doesn't start automatically during boot up.

Created a new thread on the TI E2E forum in relation to the surface errors 
when trying to run the *Magic Lantern* demo. Received a very unhelpful 
reply from TI yesterday. See that there are a few people who have issues 
with the TI Graphics SDK on the BBB that are receiving official support 
from TI.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Have a funny feeling that I am getting very close to remotely running the 
sample JavaFX 8 program without any issues. Currently the following errors 
occur when running the sample JavaFX 8 program remotely, provided the 
rc.pvr daemon on the BBB is running:


Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22
cmd : cd '/home/ubuntu/NetBeans_Projects/JavaFX_Test'; 
'/home/ubuntu/ejre-1.8.0_fx/bin/java'  -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8   -jar 
/home/ubuntu/NetBeans_Projects/JavaFX_Test/dist/JavaFX_Test.jar 
*eglCreateWindowSurface failed! eglGetError 12291*
*eglMakeCurrent failed - 12297*
Failed to create EGLContext
Graphics Device initialization failed for :  es2
Error initializing QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing 
QuantumRenderer: no suitable pipeline found


Seems as though the create surface problem is related to the issues with 
trying to run any of the SGX EGL2 demos.

Both omaplfb and pvrsrvkm modules are already loaded. Also the rc.pvr 
daemon is automatically started during boot. Where is *335x-demo* on Ubuntu 
14.04?

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Updated the OpenGL ES libraries so that the SGX ones are used. Ran the 
Magic Lantern demo again locally and ended up with different error messages 
appearing like the following:


ubuntu@arm:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles2$ ./OGLES2MagicLantern 
Can't open keypad input device (/dev/input/event0)
Exit message has been set to: "PVRShell: Unable to initialise EGL
".
PVRShell: EGL Error (EGL_BAD_ALLOC)
InitAPI failed!
PVRShell: Unable to initialise EGL


Do wonder if the SGX video driver was built properly.

Did install the mesa-dev type packages including mesa-dev-extra, which has 
the OpenGL ES 2.0 utilities (eg es2_info, es2gears).

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Ran a different demo locally and had different error messages appearing 
like the following:

=
ubuntu@arm:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles2$ ./OGLES2ChameleonMan 
Can't open keypad input device (/dev/input/event0)
*libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate*
PVRShell: EGL 1.4 initialized
Exit message has been set to: "PVRShell: Unable to create surface
".
InitAPI failed!
PVRShell: Unable to create surface
=

When trying to run the sample JavaFX 8 program locally the same error 
message appears:

*libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate*


I have a theory that if OpenGL ES 2.0 can be initialised successfully in 
one program then the sample JavaFX 8 program will run successfully.

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick Apperley]

Tried running one of the demos remotely (via SSH) and ended up with error 
messages being spitted out (aka crash 'n' burn) like the following:

===
ubuntu@arm:/opt/gfxsdkdemos/ogles2$ ./OGLES2MagicLantern 
Can't open keypad input device (/dev/input/event0)
*libEGL warning: DRI2: xcb_connect failed*
*libEGL warning: DRI2: xcb_connect failed*
*libEGL warning: GLX: failed to load GLX*
Exit message has been set to: "PVRShell: Unable to initialise EGL
".
PVRShell: EGL Error (EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED)
InitAPI failed!
PVRShell: Unable to initialise EGL
===

Very similar error messages when trying to run the sample JavaFX 8 program 
remotely (via SSH). Robert can you please confirm if you can run one of the 
SGX demos (eg Magic Lantern) successfully, and post the results from 
running the *fbset -i* and *es2_info* commands (locally).

Strange that the sample JavaFX 8 program still doesn't work even though it 
requires EGL 2.0 support from the video driver. Still getting the same

Re: [beagleboard] Creating The SGX Driver For Ubuntu 14.04

[Nick]

Ran glxgears and the tool reported an average of 32 FPS which is average.
Before loading the driver the average was 28 FPS. CPU load is still around
100%, something seems a bit off..

Robert,

The instructions in the last post did the trick with loading the driver (
omaplfb), thanks :)  However I have no clear way of telling if hardware
rendering is being used. Running glxinfo reveals SGI once again :(   Is
there an alternative CLI tool around that can provide details about the
video driver that is used?

Extracted the file that was copied over to the BBB and ran the installer.
Encountered a file not found type error. Below is the error message:

I'm assuming you are referring to GFX_5.01.01.01.tar.gz as the file to copy
over to the BBB?
