Re: [beagleboard] Can I get my monitor to work correctly with BBB, or can you recommend a different monitor?

2014-06-15 Thread Justin Morgan
I had to use my Raspberry Pi to dump the EDID of my monitor (couldn't get the BBB to do it), and found a resolution that my monitor and the BBB could tolerate (720p at 60Hz). I was then able to successfully force the resolution in uEnv.txt. Unfortunately, this is not the resolution I wanted to

[beagleboard] Gadget Serial Port Stops Responding (BBB Rev C connected to Windows 7 64-bit PC)

2014-06-15 Thread Justin Morgan
I received my new BBB Rev C board on Friday, and updated the Debian image last night after determining that it did not ship with the latest image. I'm seeing a problem with the Gadget Serial port (the one on the Mini-B USB port). I have the USB cable connected to my PC (one of the USB 3.0 ports

[beagleboard] Why Do Angstrom and Debian Enumerate the RTC Differently?

2014-06-12 Thread Justin Morgan
I've noticed a difference in behavior between the latest Angstrom Linux image and the latest Debian image available for the BeagleBone Black when it comes to enumerating the real-time clocks present when a RTC "Cape" is "present". [I have the actual clock present by use of a generic breakout bo

2014-06-11 Thread Justin Morgan
I have installed the Debian 7.5 2014-05-14 image onto my BeagleBone Black. Very early in the boot process, Debian appears to synchronize (or attempt thereof) the time reported by the omap_rtc device (that would be the RTC built into the AM3359 processor that gets mapped to /dev/rtc0). This can b

I installed the latest Debian 7.5 image (dated 2014-05-14) onto my BeagleBone Black, and have hit a brick wall trying to figure out why things I just did on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian do not work on this version of Debian. One of those things is trying to get an init.d script to run on sta

[beagleboard] Can I get my monitor to work correctly with BBB, or can you recommend a different monitor?

2014-06-10 Thread Justin Morgan
My current monitor (Acer X213H) works poorly with the BBB. It appears as if the BBB picks an incompatible refresh rate and/or resolution when it boots, as the screen looks like a CRT TV with HSYNC issues. I tried reading the EDID to get an idea of the problem, and the BBB was unable. However, ou

I am using a BBB running the new Debian image. I have connected a DS1307 RTC (via a "Tiny RTC I2C modules" breakout board) to I2C2, and have added "cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-BONE-RTC" to uEnv.txt such that my BBB does see this RTC as /dev/rtc1. I want to synchronize the system clock
