  • [06:45:42] <paddy_melon> I want a pandora

  • [06:45:56] <paddy_melon> If I want to start deving
  • [06:46:03] <paddy_melon> should I get a beagleboard?
  • [06:46:14] <paddy_melon> Eg. Applications for beagleboard...
  • [06:46:21] <paddy_melon> will they support pandora
  • [06:46:50] <paddy_melon> anyone?
  • [06:48:35] <paddy_melon> come on... Can U guys see this?
  • [06:53:38] <wardred> It's either late or really early in a lot of places...
  • [06:54:27] <wardred> Depends on your level of experience. If you're like me looking to make a 2d game, I'd simply start coding in SDL for a 800x480 screen.
  • [06:55:27] <wardred> If you're looking to use the 3D accelleration and vector math unit, it may be wroth getting the Beagle.
  • [06:58:41] <wardred> I have a beable board, and there's a few things to keep in mind. To get full utility out of it, it's nice to have the case, serial connector, usb hub, usb cable, power supply, video cable...
  • [06:59:07] <wardred> All those extras add up, and while you can use it without most of them, it's really nice to have access to them.
  • [06:59:32] <kblin> well, the video cable... oh, right, game development, never mind
  • [06:59:33] <wardred> My spelling is getting way off...time for me to look at catching some ZZZzzzzssss.

  • [07:53:37] <treta> <raster do you know what is the reason ?
  • [07:53:48] <treta> ram failure ? gcc bug ?
  • [07:54:01] <raster> gcc failure for sure
  • [07:54:10] <treta> i dont think so.....
  • [07:54:27] <raster> i do
  • [07:54:34] <treta> i have a rev B4 and 2 rev C2
  • [07:54:42] <treta> and in the B4 it never fails
  • [07:54:49] <raster> i hve seen this on many arm systems
  • [07:54:53] <raster> not jus2t bb
  • [07:55:14] <raster> i have seen a native gcc segv/sigbus/etc. often enoughoutside of running on x86
  • [07:55:41] <treta> hum.... ok.... but in the c2 rev if you compile using an nfs share i doesnt fails ever :S
  • [07:56:17] <treta> but if you compile locally... kabum ! :(
  • [07:57:12] <raster> you'll be exercising different codepaths
  • [07:57:20] <raster> especially on the kernel side
  • [07:57:27] <raster> and in userspace too as your latencies will differ
  • [07:57:56] <treta> ok... but to the gcc it almost is the same thing....
  • [07:58:57] <treta> i have 2 BB C3 an i must say they very unstable.... this my first arm11 system... until know i only have worked with arm9

  • [09:43:43] * mru will make a better one
  • [09:45:11] <raster> out of beagleboards?
  • [09:45:28] <mru> of course
  • [09:45:37] <raster> hehehe
  • [09:45:59] <raster> so u'll try and get mplayer to efficiently decode just a region of the video stream (and try and ignore the rest)
  • [09:46:09] <raster> if only we didnt have mv's
  • [09:46:16] <raster> :)
  • [09:46:22] <mru> thats not possible
  • [09:46:43] <mru> I have to preprocess the video
  • [09:48:31] <mru> omapfbplay already has netsync
  • [09:48:45] <raster> well it's possible with mjpeg
  • [09:49:05] <raster> as you have no inter-spatial dependencies
  • [09:49:20] <raster> speaking of that... i need to see if libjpeg will help me with that.
  • [09:52:37] <raster> hmmm apparently no. that do be bad.
  • [09:54:20] <mru> it's better to do separate encodings
  • [09:54:34] <raster> in my case, i'm not going to have that luxury
  • [09:55:10] <mru> you always have to parse the entire bitstream
  • [09:55:18] <raster> yeah
  • [09:55:29] <raster> better than decoding the whole bitstream tho
  • [09:55:45] <raster> basically have 12mpixel photo
  • [09:55:56] <raster> only have 8m ram. must display on vga screen
  • [09:56:00] <raster> (zoom out, in and pan)
  • [09:56:03] <raster> for example
  • [09:56:19] <mru> ouch
  • [09:56:24] <raster> thus there is need to 1. be able to decode at reduced res
  • [09:56:28] <raster> (easy)
  • [09:56:38] <raster> 2. be able to decode the image in regions and only have an active set
  • [09:57:08] <raster> if i had choice on the incoming dataset i'd say "just pre-tile it into regions and zoom levels"
  • [09:57:15] <raster> but i be not that lucky in this case
  • [09:58:10] <mru> but 8M is so 1992...
  • [09:58:20] <raster> well - i made that up
  • [09:58:33] <raster> have actually 128m currently. 256 is around the corner
  • [09:58:36] <raster> but i have to share that
  • [09:58:47] <raster> and i have to handle potentially any-sized photo
  • [10:04:11] <raster> methinks just smart use of libjpeg would work well enough with caching
  • [10:04:22] <raster> it'd be rare to be at full size and scroll around
  • [10:04:31] <raster> normally just view at zoomed out size and move on
  • [10:05:02] <raster> and decode+throw away for doing regions
  • [10:05:19] <raster> (until region desired has been done then abort the rest)
  • [10:07:05] <raster> have to walk all the dct blocks anyway and de-huff until point reached
  • [10:08:19] <mru> dequant and idct take the most time
  • [10:09:01] <mru> so if you can skip those you'll save a lot
  • [10:09:05] <raster> sure
  • [10:09:13] <raster> mayeb liobjpeg shoudl get some fixes
  • [10:09:30] <raster> it would be easy to do - provide a simple rect for "decode only blocks within this"

  • [10:24:55] <jule> what
  • [10:25:25] <mru> get angstrom
  • [10:25:52] <jule> and copy the distro to the SD card?
  • [10:26:12] <jule> Is the board expecting some SD card with a bootable image?
  • [10:27:05] <mru> did you try some of the links on the webpage?
  • [10:27:46] <jule> yeah ok..
  • [10:29:05] <jule> uppps i ve got a problem... Do I really need a serial cable?
  • [10:29:55] <jule> I expect some kind of pre OS in the Board for at least getting USB support
  • [10:30:02] <jule> exepcted
  • [10:30:03] <qball> you bought the board withouth doing any investigation about how it owrks and what you need it to work
  • [10:30:31] <jule> yes... and they say that I didnt need a serial cable
  • [10:30:41] <jule> but its ok I can order one :)
  • [10:31:09] <jule> I do already have 1 serial to USB cable will it work?
  • [10:31:47] <mru> you don't need a serial cable... if you're content just watching the dog
  • [10:32:47] <jule> well but I can copy an image to the SD card, then get linux loaded and then connect via telnet... right?'
  • [10:33:23] <jule> By default, it searchs for any bootable SD card right?
  • [10:51:07] <mrc_001> jule: a suggestion (one of the many ways you could do it): connect a usb hub with external power supply and an usb to ethernet adapter. put the beagleboard angstrom demo ( http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/beagleboard-demo-image-available ) onto the SD card as instructed, and if you did everything correctly, the OS should boot up and you should be able to log in via SSH and VNC.
  • [10:51:29] <mrc_001> this method worked for me without using a serial cable
  • [10:52:23] <mru> but when something goes wrong, the serial cable is a must
  • [10:54:58] <jule> mru i dont have usb to ethernet adapter, instead I have one HDMI to HDMI cable and a HDMI TV
  • [10:55:28] <jule> if I install the SD imgage and then the keyboard via usb, i will have control over the thing right?
  • [10:55:32] <mru> that's hardly a substitute...
  • [10:55:55] <jule> well the second phase is to configure some wifi connection
  • [10:56:13] <jule> that will do the thing i think right?
  • [10:57:13] <mru> yes, until you need to talk to the boot loader for whatever reason
  • [11:00:48] <jule> yes I undesrtand.. the serial is a must... but can I talk to the loader via serial over usb cable?

  • [15:48:11] <FJ_Sanchez> I've a question, how can I download the sources of the angstrom kernel (2.6.28-omap1)?
  • [15:54:34] <koen> FJ_Sanchez: by using openembedded, but 2.6.28 is quite old and crufty
  • [15:54:52] <FJ_Sanchez> Mmm, so should I dl 2.6.29?
  • [15:56:22] <FJ_Sanchez> I think I've to download modules-2.6.29-r37-beagleboard.tgz and overwrite content in /lib, and also rename uImage-2.6.29-r37-beagleboard.bin as uImage
  • [15:56:24] <FJ_Sanchez> Is that correct?

  • [17:11:33] <javaJake> lifeeth: "< sri_> i didnt understood"

  • [17:12:23] <lifeeth> javaJake, that was preceded by people pointing him to a beginner guide
  • [17:12:40] <FJ_Sanchez> javaJake I mean, to correctly shutdown

  • [17:13:24] <FJ_Sanchez> When I start I get disk errors (efsck suggestions)
  • [17:13:54] <javaJake> FJ_Sanchez: oh, OK. That's going to be OS-specific, arch-independant, for the most part, if it IS the shutdown process messing you up. (For example, I don't get umount errors, and I'm using a default Gentoo installation.)
  • [17:14:20] <FJ_Sanchez> I'm using angstrom image
  • [17:14:21] <javaJake> FJ_Sanchez: from what you're saying, it _could_ also be a hardware issue.
  • [17:14:53] <FJ_Sanchez> No, it's because kernel cannot umount root file system, because I'm in a dir

  • [18:04:56] <djlewis> Well, I lied. I have a 24/7 weather server that is running XP Pro9 for now :)
  • [18:05:11] <djlewis> Pro, not pro9
  • [18:05:42] <djlewis> I think I'll make a BB do the my weather too.
  • [18:06:25] <djlewis> 100 Watts vs , what, 2Watts + accessories..
  • [18:06:29] <FJ_Sanchez> Doing my first opkg update
  • [18:06:31] <FJ_Sanchez> Hehe
  • [18:06:34] <djlewis> cool
  • [18:06:42] <djlewis> I share in your pride :)
  • [18:06:49] <FJ_Sanchez> For a weather station you can use cheaper boards
  • [18:06:56] <FJ_Sanchez> Maybe an STM32 will do the job
  • [18:07:05] <djlewis> But I am now somewhat attached to BB :)
  • [18:07:28] <djlewis> It has to do video capture too. weather.djlewis.us
  • [18:07:36] <FJ_Sanchez> Mmm
  • [18:07:44] <djlewis> check it out.
  • [18:07:52] <FJ_Sanchez> Then it's other thing :p

  • [18:23:38] <FJ_Sanchez> Any way, I have just a laptop
  • [18:24:09] <djlewis> get that usb extention cable and hang the wifi hi on the wall ;)
  • [18:24:41] <FJ_Sanchez> I've the extension cable attached...

  • [18:26:32] <ds2> try streaming music or video?
  • [18:26:40] <FJ_Sanchez> Remote control
  • [18:26:51] <ds2> you should be able to toss together a shoutcast client in 30mins orso
  • [18:26:58] <FJ_Sanchez> I'm going to attach Arduino to the BB
  • [18:27:04] <ds2> setup ssh =)
  • [18:27:42] <djlewis> yep, with flakey wifi signal shoutcast might get frustrating.
  • [18:27:45] <FJ_Sanchez> Oh sure, that's what I'm going to use for connecting

  • [18:29:31] <FJ_Sanchez> Oh yes, I forgot that...
  • [18:29:52] <FJ_Sanchez> Is that change permanent?
  • [18:30:39] <lifeeth> you will have to check it out :|
  • [18:30:50] <lifeeth> You might end up flying blind
  • [18:30:58] <FJ_Sanchez> Mmm, I think I'm going to add a script to set it when booting
  • [18:31:34] <lifeeth> FJ_Sanchez, also set the arduino to stay quite for a time > boot up time
  • [18:31:59] <FJ_Sanchez> It will wait for special start sequence

  • [18:50:38] <djlewis> if not too many deps local works well.
  • [18:51:00] <djlewis> I have doen this and used Geany for IDE.

  • [19:24:23] <djlewis> sakoman: the previous one is configuring now.
  • [19:24:50] <sakoman> I'll erase that set so no-one else gets bitten

  • [19:28:24] <djlewis> for my camera

  • [19:28:32] <djlewis> sakoman: ok
  • [19:28:46] <sakoman> did you try the gnome r7 yet?
  • [19:29:09] <FJ_Sanchez> Mmm, but what is the slow part? encoding? writing to SD?

  • [19:30:36] <sakoman> disk full?
  • [19:31:04] <FJ_Sanchez> lack of i-nodes?
  • [19:31:09] <sakoman> I posted instructions on my site now
  • [19:31:26] <djlewis> May be related to the other. I used my hp pav dv8000 card reader to setup the gnome image and this one. I will go back to my matching Trendnet reader to verify.

  • [19:32:11] <FJ_Sanchez> Is it really upgrading kernel?
  • [19:32:24] <FJ_Sanchez> I boot uImage from other partition... as normally
  • [19:32:27] <sakoman> djlewis: for reflashing I usually just rm -rf the contents of the ext3 partition
  • [19:32:33] <sakoman> and then untar
  • [19:32:37] <djlewis> getting lots of ext3 dirty mesgs. I think it was my reader test.
  • [19:32:55] <sakoman> yeah, sounds like the fs is corrupted
  • [19:33:35] <djlewis> i only used 'rm -r *'
  • [19:35:12] <djlewis> sakoman: before I make comment on latest gnome I should redo with my trendnet. It did setup correctly but I had several isues, not errors.
  • [19:35:37] <sakoman> what were the issues? maybe they are real :-)

  • [20:06:58] * Christos_N thinks no one here is changing kernel params in oe...
  • [20:08:21] <adj> well, one way to do it:
  • [20:08:51] <adj> make sure rm_work is not there, then bitbake virtual/kernel
  • [20:09:36] <adj> it will give you default kernel. Then find the source directory and do whatever is needed there
  • [20:10:06] <Christos_N> yep, I've eliminated the rm_work and I can see now the sources stay in tmp folder.
  • [20:10:08] <adj> and then: bitbake -f -c compile virtual/kernel
  • [20:10:18] <adj> and finally: bitbake virtual/kernel
  • [20:10:42] <Christos_N> ? -f -c compile ?
  • [20:11:13] <adj> -c compile do stage compile, -f forces it
  • [20:11:38] <Christos_N> can I do a make menuconfig inside the kernel folder tree in oe (somewhere I guess in tmp)?
  • [20:11:52] <adj> yep
  • [20:12:12] <Christos_N> hmm...
  • [20:14:12] <Christos_N> I've seen something as 'bitbake <image> -c menuconfig' in another distro
  • [20:14:51] <Christos_N> when I tried it, it said that it does not know do_menuconfig...

  • [20:16:26] <FJ_Sanchez> It already has dropbear
  • [20:16:27] <adj> and all distros don't have similar stages
  • [20:17:37] <Christos_N> but what you say is that I'll go into the kernel folder, and the make menuconfig will work as it supposed to, then bitbake will just make the kernel with the new menuconfig set params.
  • [20:18:35] <adj> yes, but remember to use -f -c compile after doing some changes
  • [20:19:38] <adj> that will execute the compile stage and all the rest stages (deploy and whatever) will be executed by the next 'bitbake virtual/kernel'
  • [20:20:43] <djlewis> FJ_Sanchez: I think you have to fully remove dropbear for openssh. I have used both.

  • [21:07:29] <FJ_Sanchez> Yeaah, but you know the keywords!
  • [21:07:43] <FJ_Sanchez> I didn't know about led driver...
  • [21:07:51] <FJ_Sanchez> But now, that's logic
  • [21:08:00] <djlewis> FJ_Sanchez: I used what you wrote "beagleboard heartbeat led"
  • [21:08:23] <FJ_Sanchez> x'DD I didn't used heartbeat keyword... I should!
  • [21:08:27] <FJ_Sanchez> Thank you man ;)
  • [21:08:36] <djlewis> sure :)
  • [21:09:30] <djlewis> now, why is my fresr SD not booting...argh!
  • [21:09:34] <djlewis> fresh
  • [21:11:51] <florian> djlewis: Don't worry, I like it too :)
  • [21:11:57] <FJ_Sanchez> Did you copy files in order?
  • [21:12:38] <FJ_Sanchez> Or ar you talking about / partition?
  • [21:13:03] <djlewis> yep but I think my first partition table is wrong.

  • [22:43:24] <djlewis> I have been looking but havent seen anything on screen interface.

  • [22:55:59] <FJ_Sanchez> I want to write some device drivers for the kenel I'm running 2.6.29-omap1 (from angstrom demo)
  • [22:56:32] <FJ_Sanchez> Should I get sources from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git ???
  • [22:56:42] <FJ_Sanchez> Do I have to apply any patches?

  • [23:02:41] <_MattE> Evening all! I've a (probably stupid && hopefully quick) question about linux-omap-2.6 git; I'm trying to get the head of its omap-2.6.30 branch going and am finding it stiffing it at "Calibrating delay loop..." when using either my own config (derived from the angstrom kernel 2.6.29 config) or the omap3_beagle_defconfig. Has anyone got this running?
  • [23:09:16] <FJ_Sanchez> I've angstrom installed, and now I want to develop a kernel device driver, where should I download the kernel (angstrom 2.6.29-r37-beagleboard) source?
  • [23:10:54] <_MattE> You could use the omap-2.6.29 branch in linux-omap-2.6 git ;-) (which DOES run fine w/ Angstrom)
  • [23:11:57] <FJ_Sanchez> So, the kernel I'm running has no patches?
  • [23:17:33] <_MattE> I don't know- I wasn't able to (within a short time) find any source for the running kernel (if it has patches I'm sure they're buried inside the OE build). Just that that omap branch works fairly well (didn't try audio nor GLES stuff) it seems

  • [23:43:44] <djlewis> hi sakoman
  • [23:44:14] <sakoman> hi
  • [23:44:47] <FJ_Sanchez> Please help this nice guy!
  • [23:44:50] <FJ_Sanchez> ^^

  • [23:46:10] <djlewis> I tried three diff versions of desktop
  • [23:46:11] <sakoman> djlewis: blows up in what way?
  • [23:47:13] <djlewis> this way, all I have on console : http://pastebin.com/d41218394

  • [23:48:17] <sakoman> have you tried a different sd card?
  • [23:48:38] <sakoman> I have to leave for a couple of hours, but I will try to reproduce that here
  • [23:48:39] * _gm_ (n=_gm_@190.173.92.19) has joined #beagle
  • [23:49:00] <djlewis> I do suspect the card in higher memory than a console image requires.
  • [23:49:09] <sakoman> yeah
  • [23:49:15] <sakoman> what size card?
  • [23:49:31] <djlewis> I doubt you would want to reproduce this sakoman ;)
  • [23:49:56] <sakoman> Well, I'd like to find out if it is reproducible

  • [23:50:08] <sakoman> What size card? I'll try to use the same
  • [23:50:34] <djlewis> 4GB Transcend SDHC, a new one.
  • [23:50:57] <djlewis> it is reproduceable here :(
  • [23:51:01] <sakoman> hmm . . . I have a 2 and an 8, I'll try both & see what happens
  • [23:51:08] <sakoman> back later!
  • [23:51:26] <djlewis> I tried an older image of yours I had stored and same thing. It must be my card.
  • [23:51:34] <sakoman> (though I'm pretty sure I've tried those versions here with no issuse)
  • [23:51:50] <sakoman> it definitely sounds like the card
  • [23:52:08] <sakoman> or that you forgot to umount after you did the write and the card was only partially written
  • [23:52:22] <sakoman> got to leave now! later
  • [23:52:29] <djlewis> Dont waste your time on it sakoman, I think the trouble is the loose screws on my keyboard.
  • [23:52:39] <djlewis> enjoy
