  • [01:03:33] <thahemp> as long as you launch vim with "vim" and not "vi"
  • [01:03:58] <djlewis> airman00: to see if the name is changed you can wildcard a list with opkg >opkg list *nano*
  • [01:04:29] <thahemp> indeed
  • [01:04:42] <thahemp> but you want vim for code writing.... i would assume
  • [01:04:49] <djlewis> airman00: you are using Angstrom from Narcissus or Beagle dEMO?
  • [01:04:58] <djlewis> OOH CAPS LOCK ..
  • [01:05:02] <thahemp> haha
  • [01:05:08] <djlewis> better. :)
  • [01:05:35] <thahemp> i think he's straightened out
  • [01:05:57] <djlewis> For my artistic brain I have to have huge cheat sheets to use the likes of vi or vim type editors.
  • [01:06:05] <thahemp> yeah
  • [01:06:21] <thahemp> but in a console system.. you are forced to learn it at some point
  • [01:06:34] <djlewis> not with nano around :)
  • [01:06:45] <thahemp> but nano doesn't sytax highlight does it?

  • [01:06:53] <thahemp> i use nano for everything else
  • [01:06:57] <superdug> vim is the only editor
  • [01:07:05] <superdug> done &
  • [01:07:06] <djlewis> no it is a simple editor that is simple to use.
  • [01:07:10] <airman00> thahemp: how did you know to do opkg install gcc . Is there some resource you looked up? or just offhand data
  • [01:07:20] <superdug> djlewis: it's actually very complex
  • [01:07:31] <thahemp> O.o
  • [01:07:41] <thahemp> just experience with linux packages....
  • [01:07:48] <superdug> you can edit multiple files ... split the screen ... etc
  • [01:07:48] <djlewis> why is everyone cop'ing an attitude about nano ;)
  • [01:07:49] <thahemp> that's how it is on a real lin box
  • [01:07:52] <airman00> I mean I also did opkg install gcc , but all those exatras afterwards
  • [01:07:54] <thahemp> haha
  • [01:07:54] <superdug> thahemp: what distro
  • [01:08:05] <thahemp> superdug: all
  • [01:08:11] <superdug> djlewis: one compound word linewrap
  • [01:08:29] <thahemp> djlewis: i really do use nano for everything *but* code writing
  • [01:08:35] <superdug> thahemp: well most every distro is different for how it handles prepackaged binares
  • [01:08:37] <ds2> is it task-native or task-native-sdk?
  • [01:09:01] <thahemp> superdug: true, but i have grown familiar with all of them
  • [01:09:07] <thahemp> i'm not really sure what you're getting at
  • [01:09:09] <djlewis> i do find the linewrap issue sometimes. Have to manually delete the spaces or tabs that break it.
  • [01:09:24] <thahemp> just a nano quirk that you learn to live with
  • [01:09:29] <superdug> ohhh airman00 is asking
  • [01:09:29] <djlewis> ds2: the latter
  • [01:09:35] <superdug> nevermind sorry thahemp
  • [01:09:40] <thahemp> haha...all good
  • [01:09:44] <thahemp> just confused for a moment
  • [01:10:01] <ds2> oops
  • [01:10:03] <thahemp> airman00: those are just the packages required to compile stuff
  • [01:10:09] <thahemp> always
  • [01:10:23] <thahemp> some distros are nice and provide build-essentials
  • [01:10:23] <thahemp> some aren't
  • [01:10:54] <thahemp> and apparently angstrom provides task-native-sdk
  • [01:10:57] <thahemp> :)
  • [01:11:06] <thahemp> didn't know that
  • [01:11:09] <djlewis> really only takes three packages to do c, c++ on BB in Angstrom
  • [01:11:18] <thahemp> gcc cpp binutils
  • [01:11:24] <thahemp> but the symlinks break make
  • [01:11:30] <thahemp> or the lack thereof
  • [01:11:36] <thahemp> so they are a convenience
  • [01:12:56] <djlewis> taks-native-sdk , cpp, gccmakedep always gets me started.
  • [01:13:10] <djlewis> task-native-sdk that is
  • [01:13:54] <thahemp> hmmm
  • [01:13:58] <thahemp> i wonder what you start with
  • [01:14:25] <thahemp> gccmakedep
  • [01:14:28] <thahemp> i'm not familiar with that
  • [01:14:38] <thahemp> oh
  • [01:14:42] <thahemp> a makefile tool
  • [01:15:02] <djlewis> Ilater I add pkgconfig
  • [01:15:38] <thahemp> i've never written anything so complicated to require help with package config and lib dependencies
  • [01:15:51] <thahemp> i suppose that shows my amatuer-ness
  • [01:15:52] <djlewis> i think it mught be pkg-config in opkg
  • [01:15:59] <thahemp> oh yeah... i'm sure it is
  • [01:16:04] <thahemp> it is everywhere else
  • [01:16:19] <thahemp> pkg-config has caused me more heartache than help
  • [01:16:34] <djlewis> I have mixed feelings about it.
  • [01:16:39] <ds2> and configure and...
  • [01:16:56] <thahemp> i just always find the headers and there's the rule... anything after lib* goes in the -l option
  • [01:17:02] <thahemp> no pkgconfig required
  • [01:17:08] <djlewis> hehee.
  • [01:17:51] <thahemp> then again.. on a large project... it's nice i'm sure to have a command-style call to add to the makefile to find your reqs
  • [01:18:14] <djlewis> I have spent way too much energy deciphering ./configure and its Makefile when things dont come together
  • [01:18:30] <thahemp> hah
  • [01:18:30] <thahemp> yep
  • [01:18:44] <thahemp> i'm sure sakoman doesn't want to hear it... but gumstix was a nightmare for me
  • [01:18:45] <ds2> there is no place in this universe for ./configure or pkgconfig or libtool
  • [01:18:51] <thahemp> haha
  • [01:18:59] * thahemp highfives ds2
  • [01:19:12] <djlewis> I was wondering when ds2 would chime in on that one ;)
  • [01:19:17] <thahemp> :)
  • [01:19:27] <thahemp> well... when you think about it
  • [01:19:32] <thahemp> you spend so much time writing the code
  • [01:19:43] <thahemp> there's no reason you can't keep a makefile or makefiles up to date while you do so
  • [01:19:50] <thahemp> dependency by dependency
  • [01:19:54] <ds2> make it configurable by editing the Makefile and it is sufficient
  • [01:19:56] <thahemp> it's no secret to you when you add it
  • [01:21:01] <thahemp> agreed.. makefiles with the benefit of bash scripting is plenty
  • [01:21:05] <thahemp> there's no reason to need more
  • [01:21:12] <djlewis> airman00: I have been lazy and using Geany in the BB GUI to dev.;
  • [01:21:26] <ds2> dropping autoconf gives you a much larger audience
  • [01:21:52] <thahemp> ick
  • [01:21:57] <thahemp> you've gone too far now
  • [01:22:10] <thahemp> not in suggesting dropping it
  • [01:22:12] <djlewis> I think many code writers think only of the Intel i386 world.
  • [01:22:13] <thahemp> but by mentioning it alone
  • [01:22:29] <thahemp> hehe
  • [01:22:46] <thahemp> ARM is making giant leaps in recent years
  • [01:22:52] <djlewis> yep.
  • [01:22:58] <thahemp> even in the 2 or 3 that i've been working with them
  • [01:23:10] <thahemp> years that is...
  • [01:23:18] <thahemp> slow fingers fast brain
  • [01:23:33] <djlewis> got my first ARM this spring, the BB
  • [01:23:38] <thahemp> nice
  • [01:23:40] <thahemp> good first one
  • [01:23:54] <thahemp> my first was the verdex from sakoman's place ;)
  • [01:24:06] <thahemp> it was 95% ready
  • [01:24:08] <thahemp> hehe
  • [01:24:11] <ds2> mmmmmmm verdex
  • [01:24:23] <thahemp> it was a great board
  • [01:24:33] <thahemp> just had some minor issues that took too long to hit the surface
  • [01:24:37] <thahemp> for a production board that is
  • [01:24:45] <thahemp> and actually... the mainboard was fine
  • [01:24:54] <thahemp> it was the daughter boards they were selling
  • [01:24:56] <thahemp> that were bonked
  • [01:25:58] <ds2> well, to be fair...the x86 folks got be smoking some good stuff
  • [01:26:25] <thahemp> yeah... i've got a bunch of bga core2duo's sitting in a tray on my desk at work
  • [01:26:30] <thahemp> they're awesome
  • [01:26:34] <thahemp> but they draw too much power
  • [01:26:43] <thahemp> you can't put them in a small space
  • [01:27:03] <thahemp> unless you want your phone or small device bonded to your thigh
  • [01:27:15] <ds2> that and their footprints are huge
  • [01:27:31] <thahemp> true... but to be expected for the power gained
  • [01:27:54] <thahemp> we've got an i.mx515 board in house too
  • [01:28:01] <thahemp> that's gonna be a nice processor
  • [01:28:03] <ds2> oh right, you said Core2Duo
  • [01:28:16] <thahemp> they're "low power" hahahahaha
  • [01:28:20] <ds2> I was thinking of atom (was at a talk yesterday and the stuff they were presenting is gastly)
  • [01:28:25] <thahemp> like 10W at LEAST
  • [01:28:37] <thahemp> well.. even atom doesn't come close
  • [01:28:46] <thahemp> although i hear they're trying
  • [01:28:50] <thahemp> they have some deal with mercedes
  • [01:29:08] <thahemp> i bet they can pull car computers off
  • [01:29:16] <thahemp> but nothing else
  • [01:29:32] <thahemp> 3W is too much
  • [01:30:03] <ds2> but the need for all those chips
  • [01:30:17] <ds2> and to top if off you need to support PCIe to really talk to it.... ick
  • [01:30:33] <thahemp> jeez... pci is my demon right now
  • [01:30:53] <thahemp> we're trying to do a firewire network and all the TI chips are PCI bus
  • [01:30:58] <ds2> yikes
  • [01:30:59] <thahemp> but no mobile processors have the bus
  • [01:31:01] <thahemp> heh
  • [01:31:04] <thahemp> yeah
  • [01:31:13] <thahemp> i think the DM6467 has one
  • [01:31:17] <ds2> isn't there something from PLX that will bridge it?
  • [01:31:22] <thahemp> not really
  • [01:31:27] <thahemp> well
  • [01:31:28] <thahemp> yes
  • [01:31:31] <thahemp> there is
  • [01:31:38] <thahemp> if you have a bus to bridge to
  • [01:31:45] <thahemp> what do you have on the OMAP?
  • [01:31:50] <thahemp> USB
  • [01:31:54] <thahemp> ethernet
  • [01:31:54] <ds2> you basically have ISA on the OMAP
  • [01:31:59] <thahemp> ISA
  • [01:32:01] <thahemp> yeah
  • [01:32:10] <thahemp> a single-cycle read/write arm bus
  • [01:32:22] <thahemp> which is almost useless for a ghetto rigged pci bus
  • [01:32:49] <thahemp> the i.MX51 is the same way
  • [01:32:50] <ds2> the GPMC stuff might be able to keep up with a basic 32bit 33MHz PCI
  • [01:33:08] <thahemp> how many GPIO are available?
  • [01:33:22] <ds2> hundreds on the OMAP
  • [01:33:28] <thahemp> that's nice
  • [01:33:35] <thahemp> i really wish we could use the omap
  • [01:33:47] <thahemp> the freescale part has none that aren't multiplexed with other peripherals
  • [01:34:05] <thahemp> i also like the stacked bga memory + cpu
  • [01:34:09] <thahemp> that's is ingenious
  • [01:34:13] <airman00> hey thahemp: I tried what you said and I still get C commpiler cannot create exectuables when I do ./configure
  • [01:34:39] <thahemp> wierd
  • [01:34:53] <thahemp> did you try the task-native-sdk
  • [01:34:57] <thahemp> package
  • [01:35:12] <thahemp> although... i don't know what could possibly be in there to fix your compiler
  • [01:35:23] <thahemp> mine creates executables all day long :)
  • [01:35:50] <thahemp> and i know i compiled gdal lib with the X-stable image
  • [01:35:56] <thahemp> with no extra packages installed
  • [01:36:14] <thahemp> give us more info on what you're using... it should be working
  • [01:36:24] <airman00> installing task native now
  • [01:36:39] <thahemp> are you using the x-stable or the console image?
  • [01:36:48] <thahemp> or something in-between
  • [01:38:13] <airman00> I dont know. How would I find out?
  • [01:38:50] <thahemp> what did you copy on to your SD card?
  • [01:39:02] <airman00> I purchased Angstrom Demo SD Card
  • [01:39:07] <thahemp> oh
  • [01:39:14] <thahemp> do you have a GUI interface?
  • [01:39:18] <thahemp> or just a console?
  • [01:41:18] <airman00> GUI
  • [01:41:31] <thahemp> i'm surprised it doesn't work
  • [01:41:32] <airman00> but right now I'm sshing in and using the console
  • [01:41:51] <thahemp> do you have an SD card reader?
  • [01:42:53] <airman00> yes why?
  • [01:43:09] <ds2> what doesn't work?
  • [01:43:29] <thahemp> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
  • [01:43:39] <thahemp> the demo image in there works just fine
  • [01:44:08] <airman00> I download nano
  • [01:44:13] <thahemp> hehe
  • [01:44:22] <djlewis> alright ;)
  • [01:44:37] <airman00> then scp it from my host to the BB, and then did ./configure from terminal in the correct directory
  • [01:44:44] <thahemp> O.o
  • [01:44:47] <djlewis> nano sucks in a serial console though.
  • [01:44:56] <airman00> I'm trying to install it
  • [01:44:56] <thahemp> isn't it in the angstrom rep?
  • [01:45:00] <airman00> no its not
  • [01:45:04] <thahemp> hmm
  • [01:45:22] <thahemp> that sucks
  • [01:45:23] <thahemp> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2009.X-stable-20090612--beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
  • [01:45:25] <ds2> airman00: uh...
  • [01:45:27] <airman00> so I'm doing another opkg update ( 3rd time in the past hour) with the hopes that it will be fixed :P
  • [01:45:29] <djlewis> I thought Special Computing had 2.6.28 on SD
  • [01:45:30] <thahemp> that is the image that i used at first
  • [01:45:31] <ds2> you did run "make" right?
  • [01:45:41] <ds2> djlewis: it is an assortment...
  • [01:45:44] <airman00> ./configure before make
  • [01:45:55] <ds2> airman00: what does the result of make say?
  • [01:47:05] <airman00> make: ** NO targets specificed and no makefile found, Stop. I have to do ./configure first
  • [01:47:29] <thahemp> why would ./configure be invoking any gcc anything???
  • [01:47:47] <djlewis> it only inspects and sets up make
  • [01:48:14] <airman00> inspects and tells me Error: C compiler cannot make executables
  • [01:48:19] <djlewis> 'only' might be a poor choice of word.
  • [01:48:56] <ds2> your configurefailed
  • [01:49:02] <thahemp> :)
  • [01:49:03] <ds2> what didconfiguresay?
  • [01:49:06] <thahemp> ds2 dances
  • [01:49:39] <ds2> airman00: is your SD card write protected?

  • [01:50:01] <airman00> no
  • [01:50:06] <thahemp> honestly... just build the image on your SD card like a normal person
  • [01:50:11] <thahemp> you won't have problems
  • [01:50:35] <ds2> I donno... those SD images worked for a lot of people
  • [01:50:36] <thahemp> or... not even build.. just cp and decompress
  • [01:51:07] <djlewis> I often build an app using OE and thumb drive it over to BB
  • [01:51:07] <ds2> you did have a net connection when you did the opkg install task-native-sdk,right?
  • [01:51:16] <airman00> I guess that would he last option. I'll fiddle around with this later. Yes i had net connection
  • [01:51:21] <ds2> easier to build natively
  • [01:51:27] <djlewis> yep
  • [01:51:41] <thahemp> airman00... i rebuild my system this morning because i bricked it... 13 minutes
  • [01:51:42] <ds2> did opkg return any errors?
  • [01:51:45] <thahemp> don't fear it
  • [01:51:51] <thahemp> rebuilt*
  • [01:52:25] <thahemp> using the demo images is still techinically cheating... you just don't have to pay for it :)
  • [01:53:31] <ds2> the who OE thing is still questionable
  • [01:53:45] <thahemp> it has worked for me 100% of the time
  • [01:54:04] <djlewis> I find that if it is left alone and no updates it does well :)
  • [01:54:21] <thahemp> although... i'm only talking about downloading koen's demos and extracing them onto partition 2
  • [01:54:26] <djlewis> I am using the stable branch
  • [01:55:01] <djlewis> ds2: nice to have a ipk to opkg on BB
  • [01:55:17] <ds2> djlewis: I am happy with tgz's
  • [01:55:25] <djlewis> thems good too :)
  • [01:55:40] <thahemp> have you guys tried to install older ipk's with opkg lately?
  • [01:55:53] <djlewis> I use a bit of it all. In whatever form it comes in I try to make use of.
  • [01:55:58] <thahemp> like specifically... the sgx modules
  • [01:56:10] <djlewis> I hear they are broken
  • [01:56:16] <thahemp> oh they are
  • [01:56:18] <ds2> SGX from TI works fine
  • [01:56:29] <djlewis> dont qoute me. I was just skimming logs today
  • [01:56:29] <thahemp> yeah... the libs do
  • [01:56:32] <ds2> donno about the third hand stuff in OE ;)
  • [01:56:47] <thahemp> the libs work great
  • [01:56:50] <thahemp> the sgx modules package in the angstrom rep
  • [01:56:53] <thahemp> is not compatible
  • [01:57:05] <thahemp> it's like 1607 version
  • [01:57:08] <ds2> sigh...
  • [01:57:11] <thahemp> and the 1397 one works
  • [01:57:18] <ds2> build them yourself... KBUILD is not that hard
  • [01:57:18] <djlewis> there was some talk, might have been thahemp , talking about sgx apps not running?
  • [01:57:26] <thahemp> :)
  • [01:57:28] <thahemp> yep
  • [01:57:29] <thahemp> only
  • [01:57:31] <ds2> djlewis: I was just running them today
  • [01:57:32] <thahemp> it was midcon1
  • [01:57:40] <thahemp> i am midcon1 at work
  • [01:57:55] <ds2> i need to get my accelerometer on there and things might get interesting
  • [01:58:07] <djlewis> I havent gotten the SGX demos to run since a 2.6.28 or early 2.6.29
  • [01:58:28] <thahemp> you have to use the current libGLES stuff
  • [01:58:35] <thahemp> and use the 1397 sgx modules
  • [01:58:39] <thahemp> then it works perfect
  • [01:58:55] <djlewis> I live in stables so I can have some predictability.
  • [01:59:01] <thahemp> but you can only install the 1397 ones if you install them on a fresh system before you run opkg update for the first time
  • [01:59:16] <ds2> problem is OE stable isn't that stable
  • [01:59:17] <djlewis> You mean opkg upgrade?
  • [01:59:23] <djlewis> BAD IDEA!
  • [01:59:29] <thahemp> no... opkg update!
  • [01:59:35] <ds2> opkg upgrade mostly works :D
  • [01:59:41] <djlewis> that only updates the database locally
  • [01:59:44] <thahemp> once opkg realized there's a newere version you can't install the old ones
  • [01:59:51] <djlewis> oh
  • [01:59:51] <thahemp> opkg is retarded too
  • [01:59:52] <ds2> just apply --force or the equiv
  • [01:59:57] <thahemp> hmm
  • [02:00:08] <thahemp> that's not a documented flag
  • [02:00:13] <thahemp> -force-downgrade is
  • [02:00:14] <thahemp> and it doesn't work
  • [02:00:26] <djlewis> I have tested opkg upgrade several times trhough fs numbers and it always breaks.
  • [02:00:59] <thahemp> it worked ok for me yesterday...
  • [02:01:05] <thahemp> nothing exploded anyways
  • [02:01:12] <djlewis> using which build?
  • [02:01:19] <thahemp> the latest
  • [02:01:23] <djlewis> from?
  • [02:01:42] <thahemp> i used koen's image x11-stable
  • [02:01:46] <thahemp> and i also built x11-image
  • [02:01:51] <thahemp> both worked ok
  • [02:02:00] <djlewis> I tried it on Narcissus and Beagle Demo
  • [02:02:10] <thahemp> i haven't tried any narcissus yet
  • [02:02:36] <djlewis> I think it all really depends on what time of which day in what moon phase you do it.
  • [02:03:18] <djlewis> And if you are not wearing the witches slippers, just forget even trying.
  • [02:03:45] <thahemp> that's conforting
  • [02:03:51] <thahemp> comforting even
  • [02:04:55] <djlewis> thahemp: are you a developer?
  • [02:05:15] <thahemp> not for linux or bb or any open source project
  • [02:05:26] <thahemp> but yeah i suppose you could classify it as that
  • [02:05:46] <djlewis> I only do small scall things for myself thus far.
  • [02:05:50] <thahemp> i'm 1/2 hardware designer 1/2 coder
  • [02:05:51] <djlewis> scall = small
  • [02:06:13] <thahemp> me too
  • [02:06:14] <djlewis> me, about 3/4 : 1/4
  • [02:06:21] <thahemp> yep
  • [02:06:29] <ds2> You too!
  • [02:06:34] <thahemp> i've only had to write software for what i've designed
  • [02:06:41] <thahemp> so i'm not all that hardcore as a developer
  • [02:06:46] <djlewis> me too

  • [02:07:20] <djlewis> yo!

  • [02:08:03] <thahemp> :)
  • [02:08:03] <hallam> I have a question for Crofton, Crofton|work or anyone else who has used USRP with Beagle
  • [02:08:23] * djlewis goes to look up USRP
  • [02:08:27] <Crofton> yes?
  • [02:08:34] <thahemp> hah
  • [02:08:39] <thahemp> is't radio stuff
  • [02:08:39] <hallam> google found me a log from a year ago: http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2008-08-05
  • [02:08:56] <Crofton> that was a while ago, what do you want to know
  • [02:09:04] <hallam> I'm getting the same 'bad file descriptor' error and wondered if you solved it :)
  • [02:09:11] <Crofton> hahahaha
  • [02:09:17] <Crofton> what version of gnu radio?
  • [02:09:22] <Crofton> yeah, it should be solved
  • [02:09:31] <hallam> I'm not actually using USRP, I'm using the GN3Sv2 sampler which was based on USRP
  • [02:09:33] <Crofton> there is still loads of stuff to do though
  • [02:09:37] <Crofton> ah
  • [02:09:48] <Crofton> is there a url for that?
  • [02:10:08] <hallam> it's not well documented, hang on a sec
  • [02:10:38] <Crofton> nothing is in this business :)
  • [02:10:57] <Crofton> hallam, what sw are you building?
  • [02:11:00] <djlewis> fly by the seat of our pants.
  • [02:11:01] <hallam> http://gn3s-nix.sourceforge.net/ here is the "homepage", the software version I'm using (which I think is newer) is in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=91538&package_id=271229&release_id=645621
  • [02:11:11] <hallam> /osgps/gn3s-linux/gn3s-linux/src/host
  • [02:11:41] <Crofton> so basically you have code based on gnuradio libusrp?
  • [02:11:47] <hallam> yeah
  • [02:11:56] <hallam> quite an old version of it I think
  • [02:12:00] <Crofton> I suspect the issue is libusb-compat
  • [02:12:16] <hallam> significance of the -compat?
  • [02:12:33] <Crofton> to get gnuradio working we ended up statically linking gnuradio against a private copy of libusb-0.12
  • [02:12:39] <hallam> heh
  • [02:13:10] * joeR (i=ad45c591@gateway/web/freenode/x-ekcsxdyaduakcpkn) has joined #beagle
  • [02:13:11] <Crofton> well Angstrom uses libusb1 which uses libusb-compat to provide backward compatitiblity for libusb-0.12
  • [02:13:28] <hallam> ok, and that wrapper breaks the file descriptor hack?
  • [02:13:29] <Crofton> but gnuradio peeked inside the private interface so compat does not work
  • [02:13:33] <Crofton> exactly
  • [02:13:45] <Crofton> are you building your sw via OE?
  • [02:13:51] <hallam> yes
  • [02:14:04] <Crofton> look at the gnuradio recipe to see the hack we used
  • [02:14:26] <hallam> ok, will do
  • [02:14:27] <hallam> thank you
  • [02:14:29] <Crofton> also, very very recently, we added support to gnuradio to use libusb1
  • [02:14:35] <hallam> hm
  • [02:14:36] <Crofton> but we have not tested it
  • [02:14:57] <hallam> it'll probably be easier for me to use the hack than to transplant that support into the code I'm using
  • [02:15:39] <Crofton> I figured that, but wanted to make you aware it existe
  • [02:15:39] <Crofton> d
  • [02:15:45] <hallam> cheers
  • [02:15:51] <Crofton> good luck
  • [02:15:56] <Crofton> let us now how you make out
  • [02:16:01] <hallam> will do
  • [02:16:05] <ds2> Crofton: do you know if anyone has played with the Cypress PSoC stuff as a SDR front end?
  • [02:16:05] <Crofton> thanks
  • [02:16:18] <Crofton> not off the top of my head
  • [02:16:27] <Crofton> remind me next week and i can ask around

  • [02:40:06] <hallam> aw heck
  • [02:40:24] <hallam> so the gnuradio recipe has a patch called gnuradio-libusb.patch
  • [02:40:32] <hallam> which changes a kludge in usrp_prims.cc
  • [02:40:38] <Crofton> no
  • [02:40:39] <hallam> I made the same change in my copy of usrp_prims.cc
  • [02:40:49] <Crofton> are you looking at stable ot dev
  • [02:40:54] <hallam> but it turns out that doesn't actually get compiled in anywhere
  • [02:40:56] <Crofton> that patch is bad
  • [02:41:05] <Crofton> I should fix stable :)
  • [02:41:13] <hallam> I was looking at the recipe that came with my Angstrom build
  • [02:41:35] <hallam> how do I get to the dev copy? (sorry, a bit new to git and bitbake and so forth)
  • [02:41:44] <Crofton> I suspect you are building from stable
  • [02:42:18] <Crofton> http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/gnuradio
  • [02:42:32] <Crofton> the instructions on the Angstrom site have you build from stable
  • [02:42:44] <Crofton> the instructions on the OE site have you build form .dev
  • [02:42:44] <hallam> ok
  • [02:42:58] <Crofton> I know this is not explained clearly in either place :)
  • [02:43:12] <Crofton> you could copy the recipes from .dev to your stable tree
  • [02:43:28] <hallam> http://www.elinux.org/BeagleBoardAndOpenEmbeddedGit I was following this
  • [02:43:54] <hallam> relevant line being git clone git://git.openembedded.net/openembedded which I guess is stable?
  • [02:43:55] <Crofton> heh, too many sets of instructions :)
  • [02:44:14] <hallam> oh no the actual relevant line is git checkout origin/stable/2009 -b stable/2009
  • [02:44:20] <hallam> that explains that
  • [02:44:25] <Crofton> yeah
  • [02:44:29] <Crofton> ok
  • [02:44:47] <hallam> ok well I think I'll just examine the dev recipes through that web interface you linked me to
  • [02:45:01] <Crofton> so, you can checkout dev and rebuild everything, ot just looks at eh gnuradion recipe via cgit
  • [02:45:05] <Crofton> yeah
  • [02:45:15] <Crofton> you do not actually build gnuradio, right?
  • [02:45:21] <hallam> correct

  • [08:42:07] <av500> give ppl a preview of their turnstile experience....
  • [08:42:13] <DesktopMa> av500: hmm so I can use one IO line and open the gate by setting it on? are they 5v?
  • [08:42:32] <av500> DesktopMa: nope, use an IO line to a relay
  • [08:42:48] <av500> I would not connect BB and this think electrically
  • [08:42:53] <av500> relay provide isolation
  • [08:43:06] <DesktopMa> yeah I don't think I want to do that either. I have no relays though
  • [08:43:19] <av500> DesktopMa: so, buy some
  • [08:43:59] <av500> but of course you need a driver for the relay that works of the 1.8B GPIO level...
  • [08:44:09] <av500> B->V
  • [08:44:09] <DesktopMa> I will. was just hoping to do some testing today and my shitty town has no stores ;)
  • [08:44:29] <av500> well, then hold the blue and red wires in your hand and pretend
  • [08:44:43] <DesktopMa> CUT THE BLUE WIRE
  • [08:45:02] <av500> or wire them to a switch and use an usb rocket launcher on the BB....
  • [08:45:25] <av500> you can control several tunrstiles this way
  • [08:46:18] <DesktopMa> isn't the plc control contacts supposed to be connected directly?
  • [08:48:02] <av500> no idea, but I would not connect anything directly, turnstiles are not 1.8V devices....
  • [08:48:11] <av500> what about the serial thingy?
  • [08:48:29] <DesktopMa> that's what I wanted to do but they didn't buy the serial card

  • [10:04:39] <cwillu_at_work> well, then I think you'll have to figure out the complicated stuff
  • [10:04:45] <alexandre_fs> :)
  • [10:04:56] <av500> or use the MIMO samsung 7" USB Stiff
  • [10:04:58] <av500> stuff
  • [10:05:06] <bkero> Hey look, same thing for $390 on ebay, and it's still a GIGANTIC RIPOFF. http://cgi.ebay.com/XENARC-706TSA-7-TFT-LCD-Touchscreen-Monitor-w-DVI_W0QQitemZ290354843119QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Video_Navigation?hash=item439a7f4def
  • [10:06:34] * tasslehoff (n=Mich@147.84-49-231.nextgentel.com) Quit ("Lost terminal")
  • [10:07:43] <alexandre_fs> I see this MIMO display.... looks good, but connect thru USB? Would this be direct, like if I was connecting to the DVI-D? I guess i would have to nistall some drivers...
  • [10:08:38] <alexandre_fs> bkero, yes, the Xenarc monitor is not an option :)
  • [10:08:38] <av500> there is an X11 driver for it
  • [10:08:49] <alexandre_fs> ok
  • [10:08:58] <alexandre_fs> that looks like a better solution
  • [10:10:01] <alexandre_fs> still it feels strange to be using a USB port for image... What about S-video? Beagle has an output for that right? Shouldn't this be easier/cheaper to connect to a LCD display?
  • [10:10:39] <av500> depends on what you want to display? svideo is good for video, bad for X11
  • [10:10:58] <av500> if your GUI works on a TV, it works on svideo...
  • [10:11:19] <DesktopMa> unless you have a tv from this century
  • [10:11:19] <av500> large fonts, large icons etc..
  • [10:11:20] <DesktopMa> :)
  • [10:11:25] <cwillu_at_work> was about to say... :p
  • [10:11:45] <av500> DesktopMa: that does not change the video bandwidth of svideo...
  • [10:12:05] <DesktopMa> no but you could have been connecting it with dvi :P
  • [10:12:28] <cwillu_at_work> av500, people from this century don't use svideo to connect things to their tv's :p
  • [10:12:39] <alexandre_fs> eheheheh
  • [10:12:49] <av500> cwillu_at_work: yes, but the question was about using svideo......
  • [10:12:50] <alexandre_fs> i just want a simple solution to an embedded LCD display
  • [10:13:00] <av500> alexandre_fs: again, to do what?
  • [10:13:01] <alexandre_fs> until now this seems the best solution: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardRawLCD
  • [10:13:05] <DesktopMa> there must surely be panel only boards
  • [10:13:06] <cwillu_at_work> av500, and the nitpick was about "if your GUI works on a TV, it works on svideo..."
  • [10:13:14] * cwillu_at_work huggles av500
  • [10:13:36] <alexandre_fs> av500, i just want to see the GUI
  • [10:13:44] <alexandre_fs> X11
  • [10:13:44] <av500> cwillu_at_work: right "works on TV" as in 90s TV, sorry...
  • [10:14:06] <cwillu_at_work> alexandre_fs, this won't help future projects as this depends on the io of the particular lcd, but you may want to look at gumstix's lcd boards
  • [10:14:09] <av500> so you want to make a product that shows X11 with a blinking cursor?
  • [10:14:34] <av500> again, it all depends on your use case

  • [10:21:20] <cwillu_at_work> alexandre_fs, look at the packs for how their systems work
  • [10:21:31] <alexandre_fs> ok
  • [10:21:39] <cwillu_at_work> you just need an overo earth which clips onto those connectors
  • [10:21:39] <av500> alexandre_fs: no, this is for a gumstix
  • [10:21:51] <cwillu_at_work> alexandre_fs, it's the same processor as the gumstix, I've had very good success booting bb and overo off the same cards

  • [10:25:35] <av500> alexandre_fs: I guess it is "stable" then :)
  • [10:25:47] <alexandre_fs> the BeagleLCD seems perfect
  • [10:26:08] <alexandre_fs> yes.. non-existing is stable :)
  • [10:26:16] <av500> ds2: you have a costumer here!
  • [10:30:32] <alexandre_fs> thank you all for helping me... i'm kind of divided between BB, Gumstix or buying a TouchBook and hack it
  • [10:30:46] <alexandre_fs> I just prefer BB over Gumstix for the community support...
  • [10:31:07] <DesktopMa> if the pandora is ever finished there' also that
  • [10:31:11] <DesktopMa> since it has an lcd :P
  • [10:31:12] <alexandre_fs> but maybe it would be simpler for me to buy a Gumstix with the necessary modules...
  • [10:31:26] <alexandre_fs> Pandora?
  • [10:31:36] <DesktopMa> www.openpandora.org
  • [10:32:35] <alexandre_fs> looks good.. but still in dev..
  • [10:32:44] <DesktopMa> yeah it's been sloow coming
  • [10:34:04] <alexandre_fs> TouchBook is ready now....
  • [10:34:15] <alexandre_fs> and has the advantage to have a version without keyboard
  • [10:34:20] <DesktopMa> yeah that's true
  • [10:34:28] <DesktopMa> I'm considering one
  • [10:34:41] <alexandre_fs> but it's based in the B2 revision of BB
  • [10:34:43] <DesktopMa> wish it had less space around the screen though
  • [10:34:58] <DesktopMa> are you sure? did those have 256MB ram?
  • [10:35:04] <alexandre_fs> yes i think so
  • [10:35:24] <av500> B has 128
  • [10:35:30] <kblin> revBs only have 128..
  • [10:35:38] <DesktopMa> that's what I thought
  • [10:35:39] <alexandre_fs> uhmm..let me find the link
  • [10:35:54] <kblin> but that sounds like an easy change without changing much of the remaining board
  • [10:36:03] <DesktopMa> yeah true. if it's just "based on"
  • [10:37:24] <kblin> to be honest, at least with the kernels I'm currently running, the b6 runs better than the c2

  • [12:42:02] <siji> see, according to me the only question is whether Debian or RPM
  • [12:42:26] <mru> that's like choosing between syphilis or death
  • [12:42:28] <siji> Kernel will remain same also X,and gui too(Gnome KDE etc)
  • [12:43:02] <siji> mru,i am familiar with Deb only
  • [12:43:56] <mru> debian values "freedom" higher than utility
  • [12:44:06] <siji> mru,true
  • [12:44:41] <mru> I don't care if some gpl app happens to indirectly link with openssl
  • [12:44:52] <mru> or directly for that matter
  • [12:45:04] <siji> but the the drawback i noticed in all those distro is booting time
  • [12:45:34] <mru> my gentoo boots in a matter of seconds on beagle
  • [12:45:43] <hrw> mru: as Debian user I like their way of freedom
  • [12:45:46] <XorA> mru: my opinion is if the GPL app has the ability to link to openssl, I figure the copyright holders meant it and therefore its not a license violation
  • [12:46:12] <XorA> mru: an opionion obviously shared by the FSF as they "fixed" GPL3 :-)
  • [12:46:22] <mru> the typical situation is App uses libcurl, and libcurl can *optionally* use openssl
  • [12:46:40] <mru> debain loonies see this as App linking against openssl
  • [12:46:49] <XorA> then your app is not linked to openssl, no isssue
  • [12:46:53] <mru> and then go on to call that a licence violation
  • [12:46:55] <puppy> i asked because i purchased original main distros such as debain, fedora, slackware and ultra applications disks, and wondering if the apps within would work, but as mentioned above it must be armel.
  • [12:47:10] <mru> XorA: you obviously haven't spent many minutes reading debian-legal
  • [12:47:28] * mru reads debian-legal for a laugh
  • [12:47:35] <XorA> mru: I have, they are pretty much all idiots who sound be put back into first grade of school
  • [12:47:51] <XorA> mru: they once claimed I didnt own copyright on my own code, because I dared to make a patch for mplayer
  • [12:49:11] <siji> mru,XorA,is it the issue with GPL2.0 version
  • [12:49:12] <mru> and then, after all the politics and philosophy, the debian "freedom" is still only whatever the all-powerful ftpmaster decides

  • [12:56:36] <mru> it is
  • [12:56:38] <XorA> yes
  • [12:56:41] <mru> cf omapfbplay
  • [12:56:57] <puppy> sorry i started the distro war..
  • [12:57:46] <craw> so i can write a yuv image to /dev/fb0 when i set it up somehow (which i would have to look up now)
  • [12:57:58] <craw> not just via the v4l interface to the dss?
  • [12:58:06] <mru> and debian on arm is just a bad idea
  • [12:58:25] <mru> craw: you can use /dev/fb1 or fb2 for yuv overlay
  • [12:58:48] <craw> mru: starting from 2.6.29 kernelversion?
  • [12:59:02] <craw> cause i am currently still running .28
  • [12:59:10] <mru> anything with dss2 patched in

  • [13:08:48] <siji> try LXDE

  • [13:10:06] <midcon1> ew it's kde-like
  • [13:10:58] <mru> gnome and kde are not window managers
  • [13:11:07] <mru> they are ram/cpu blackholes
  • [13:11:10] <midcon1> hah

  • [13:11:37] <kblin> mru: but they can make windows wobble....
  • [13:11:42] <mru> they're certainly copying the worst from mswindows

  • [13:22:42] <puppy> way way back in 1998 i started with open bsd which allowed me to create small script windows and apps within, it was not a window manager, per say, more like thats all the mouse and window could do, but it was incredibly fast, is this what you call emacs?
  • [13:24:16] <midcon1> pretty close
  • [13:24:30] <midcon1> it's just a text editor though
  • [13:24:36] <muriani> emacs has the butterfly, though.
  • [13:24:41] <midcon1> but a nice one if you're on a console system
  • [13:25:00] <puppy> purly console.
  • [13:25:24] <av500> puppy: I dont think mru was suggesting emacs for the BB....

  • [13:27:11] <av500> ok
  • [13:27:29] <puppy> does it run on armel

  • [15:46:10] <gt2> Hi, I have HDMI enabled on a version of the TI LO sync kernel, but have issues with the screen size. I tested with Poky and Angstrom and both are not loaded full screen. I heard that the kernel doesn't have a hot plug for it to switch and this has to be handled at user space. Any clues??

  • [19:27:59] <tahsin> <furibondox> well i used a precompiled one
  • [19:28:18] <furibondox> ah ok... where do you have downloaded it?
  • [19:29:05] <cwillu_at_work> tahsin, there's a way to make entries for whatever gpio_### you want, I don't recall exactly how, but it works
  • [19:29:23] <cwillu_at_work> tahsin, I had it working on a bunch of gpio's that weren't leds
  • [19:29:28] <cwillu_at_work> reading and writing
  • [19:29:41] <tahsin> well i know how to activate them
  • [19:30:10] <tahsin> but i cant make them do anything else except make them input and ouput

  • [19:30:42] <cwillu_at_work> tahsin, you mean the muxing itself? like, which signal is on them?
  • [19:30:46] <tahsin> <furibondox> there is a uimage already there>
  • [19:31:35] <tahsin> <cwillu_at_work> for example i want pin 24 which is GPIO168 to be value 1... i can issue the command but it wont change the value

  • [19:32:37] <cwillu_at_work> tahsin, do you mean the signal doesn't show up on the pin, or when you read the value back out of /sys/, it's still at the old value?
  • [19:32:56] <tahsin> <cwillu_at_work> it is still the old value

  • [19:35:03] <tahsin> <furibondox> you mean that?
  • [19:36:07] <furibondox> no.. i have another serial (not the console) to attach to the expansion pins
  • [19:36:41] <tahsin> oh... i am not aware of that..
  • [19:37:25] <tahsin> <furibondox> sorry.. my expansion is just holes in it.. i am trying to get my explansion port to work
  • [19:37:27] <furibondox> ok now i've your kernel
  • [19:37:47] <furibondox> the usr0 led is blinking
  • [19:37:57] <furibondox> the usr1 led does not blink
  • [19:38:16] <tahsin> <furibondox> yes thats because USR) led is set to heartbead
  • [19:38:16] <furibondox> seems off
  • [19:38:18] <tahsin> beat*
  • [19:38:21] <furibondox> ok
  • [19:38:32] <tahsin> and USR! is set to mmc0
  • [19:38:35] <furibondox> now i try the pendrive on the standard usb
  • [19:38:39] <furibondox> ok
  • [19:39:07] <tahsin> you can change teh led things to your nand if you want... and its on the link i sent you before
  • [19:39:34] <SplasH> has anybody some experiences about image processing on the beagleboard with an usb camera?
  • [19:39:39] <furibondox> http://pastebin.com/m4ee67bda
  • [19:39:59] <furibondox> ok with this kernel the pendrive works
  • [19:40:12] <tahsin> yea thats strange
  • [19:40:26] <furibondox> now i have to understand why it doesn't with mine....
  • [19:40:30] <tahsin> that it didnt work with your previous one
  • [19:40:43] <furibondox> yes...
  • [19:40:46] <tahsin> well for me it dont work when you connect directly
  • [19:40:54] <tahsin> since i gues my flash drives are power hungry
  • [19:41:12] <furibondox> the pendrive is the same
  • [19:41:20] <furibondox> and the power source too
  • [19:41:23] <tahsin> yea
  • [19:41:29] <furibondox> only the kernel change
  • [19:41:35] <tahsin> yea
  • [19:41:47] <tahsin> where did you get your kernel image from?

  • [19:43:48] <furibondox> tahsin: which sources did you used?
  • [19:43:58] <SplasH> I think gspca is already in the kernel. I'm use an uvc kamera
  • [19:44:30] <tahsin> <furibondox> the one link sent you from that had the uimage
  • [19:45:01] <tahsin> <splash> well check to see if you have it... since my kernel dont have it...
  • [19:45:33] <tahsin> <splash> if you ahve a front end then install "cheese"
  • [19:45:36] <furibondox> yes, but the uImage is the binary...
  • [19:45:43] <furibondox> i need the sources
  • [19:46:08] <furibondox> with the usb that works ;-)

  • [19:51:37] <furibondox> where i can download a 2.6.29 sources for omap?
  • [19:52:24] <furibondox> my 2.6.29 sources are from TI PSP SDK but have a lot of problems
  • [19:52:44] <furibondox> because seems that are released ONLY for the EVM
  • [19:53:11] <SplasH> I only have a console-image a the moment on my beagle. I can get images from a camera with my own program, but only with 160x120 pixels. With a higer resolution I have a cpu load of 99%... And image processing is also very slow.
