  • [04:33:37] <jkridner> 800x600 is one of them.
  • [04:34:01] <jkridner> so, it depends on your kernel/distro.
  • [04:34:06] <jkridner> does that make sense favor?
  • [04:38:47] <favor> i use angstrom distro.

  • [05:02:23] <favor> one more thing, when i deploy angstrom to beagleboard , i do not need copy MLO x-Loader to fat32 partition, and it can boot successfully. is that right?
  • [05:04:09] <jkridner> not quite that simple. MLO (x-load) and u-boot.bin need to be copied (in that order) if you want the SD card to be ROM-bootable, but you don't normally need the SD card to be ROM-bootable.
  • [05:04:46] <jkridner> it is usually sufficient to simply use the u-boot on the Beagle flash, though some newer releases require you to update the u-boot on the Beagle flash.

  • [05:45:34] <nooomem> jkridner: I know, but can I check this from within angstrom?
  • [05:45:37] <jkridner> fw_printenv
  • [05:45:53] <jkridner> of course, I don't think that is built as part of Angstrom.
  • [05:45:55] <nooomem> jkridner: you're loosing me, that's not a command.
  • [05:46:14] <jkridner> it is a command that can be built as part of u-boot and runs within Linux.
  • [05:46:14] <nooomem> is there anyway to hook into the serial port from within angstrom?
  • [05:46:27] <jkridner> within u-boot, 'make env'.

  • [05:46:41] <jkridner> latest u-boot for omap3, however, doesn't seem to build it correctly.
  • [05:47:08] <jkridner> you can download a pre-built fw_printenv from http://beagleboard.org/demo/esc

  • [05:50:17] <nooomem> yes, that's what that says
  • [05:50:20] <gregoiregentil> no. you need to reboot and change the kernel command line
  • [05:50:26] <nooomem> ah, fudge
  • [05:50:42] <jkridner> you can change the kernel command-line with fw_setenv.
  • [05:50:48] <nooomem> no way to do this without the serial cable?
  • [05:50:59] <jkridner> just trying to save you the trouble of getting to the serial cable.
  • [05:51:03] <nooomem> oh, really jkridner, how do I use that tar ball you were pointing to?

  • [05:51:22] <nooomem> jkridner: I like! I like!
  • [05:51:33] <jkridner> yes, if you untar u-boot_fw.tgz from your root folder, you can use fw_printenv/fw_setenv.
  • [05:51:45] <nooomem> jkridner: okay, just a sec...
  • [05:51:50] <jkridner> do you have a web connection on your Beagle?

  • [05:52:16] <jkridner> well, that works too.
  • [05:52:57] <jkridner> I need to discover the magic Frank used to build this, since it doesn't build in the current u-boot.
  • [05:53:20] <nooomem> ok.. and untarring it from the root folder...
  • [05:53:25] <jkridner> really should be a utility in the base distro.
  • [05:53:43] <jkridner> try fw_printenv first.

  • [05:56:11] <jkridner> yeah, do you see the bootargs?
  • [05:56:20] <nooomem> yeah
  • [05:56:27] <nooomem> what should they look like?
  • [05:56:37] <jkridner> you'll then want to do 'fw_setenv bootargs ...', where ... are the right bootargs.
  • [05:57:04] <jkridner> http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/README.txt
  • [05:57:30] <nooomem> yep... so do I put it in single quote?
  • [05:57:32] <jkridner> no need for any 'saveenv' as part of fw_setenv.
  • [05:57:55] <jkridner> single quotes are safe to have. no need to have anything after the first ;
  • [05:58:24] <jkridner> so: fw_setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 rootfstype=ext3 video=omapfb:vram:2M,vram:4M'

  • [06:00:40] <nooomem> yeah
  • [06:00:58] <nooomem> I only don't have the quotes around in the print
  • [06:00:58] <jkridner> clearly your 'dmesg' line shows that you don't have 2 planes.
  • [06:01:23] <nooomem> AH...
  • [06:01:32] <jkridner> ?
  • [06:01:36] <nooomem> I have vram=4M instead of vram:4M
  • [06:01:38] <nooomem> :P
  • [06:02:14] <jkridner> yeah, i typoed that earlier in this chat as well.
  • [06:02:41] <nooomem> k, I ran that updated command
  • [06:02:46] <nooomem> now, just reboot?
  • [06:03:15] <jkridner> yes.
  • [06:03:25] <nooomem> rebooting...
  • [06:03:50] <nooomem> so is omapfbplay a big boot from mplayer with sdl?
  • [06:04:02] <nooomem> I'm hoping/guessing so
  • [06:04:04] <jkridner> boot? boost?
  • [06:04:10] <jkridner> it is faster.
  • [06:04:27] <jkridner> I can just hang around for another minute.
  • [06:04:51] <nooomem> jkridner: yay, 2 plane
  • [06:05:29] <nooomem> bah.. still having the issue with /dev/fb1 not found
  • [06:05:55] <jkridner> hmmm.... what does dmesg say now?
  • [06:06:52] <jkridner> geckosenator: would be handy. I wonder if the tincantools board might already do that.
  • [06:07:14] <nooomem> it says 2 planes, I tried mknod command but it's leading to a messy drawing of the video.
  • [06:07:21] <nooomem> but it is running
  • [06:07:34] <geckosenator> jkridner: can you buy it yet?
  • [06:07:57] <jkridner> geckosenator: I just checked the website. looks like no.
  • [06:08:01] <geckosenator> jkridner: I have been thinking for a while about how I want my expansion board, and I finally decided the easiest and most generic thing to do is just level translate everything
  • [06:08:03] <jkridner> so, 3.3V level translate on!
  • [06:08:07] <geckosenator> heh
  • [06:08:20] <geckosenator> jkridner: I'm getting a board which is an expansion for an avr32 board
  • [06:08:29] <geckosenator> jkridner: it's called RMT1, it takes 3.3 for everything though
  • [06:08:29] <nooomem> jkridner: I tried the -fs command and the video is stretched to the whole screen, looks pretty cool. but no sound, any clue?
  • [06:08:48] <jkridner> I don't believe that omapfbplay has sound.
  • [06:08:57] <jkridner> also, are you running in a graphical environment?
  • [06:09:02] <nooomem> yeah
  • [06:09:04] <jkridner> that'll make things screwy.
  • [06:09:10] <nooomem> yeah, seems it has
  • [06:09:15] <nooomem> how should I be running it?
  • [06:09:21] <jkridner> you probably want to change inittab to go into run-level 4, rather than 5.
  • [06:09:28] <jkridner> then you'd boot into console mode.
  • [06:09:37] <jkridner> I think there is a key sequence that'll get you there too.
  • [06:09:40] * wiking (n=wiking@huwico/staff/wiking) has joined #beagle
  • [06:09:42] <nooomem> k, then run omapfb from there?
  • [06:09:52] <nooomem> that's cool, but no sound?
  • [06:09:57] <jkridner> CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will kill X, but it automatically restarts.
  • [06:10:29] <jkridner> I think that there is another key sequence to go to console mode directly. hopefully someone else will chime in with that.
  • [06:10:38] <nooomem> there is, I remember doing it once
  • [06:10:44] <nooomem> what's my best bet for with sound / smoothest full screen rendering right now?
  • [06:10:44] <geckosenator> there is
  • [06:10:46] <jkridner> you can check with mru, but I don't think that omapfbplay has any audio.
  • [06:10:48] <geckosenator> ctrl-alt-f1
  • [06:10:58] <jkridner> thanks geckosenator.
  • [06:10:58] <geckosenator> goes to tty1
  • [06:11:11] <jkridner> must run. ttyl.
  • [06:11:13] <geckosenator> then typically from there you do alt-fX to go to ttyX
  • [06:11:23] <nooomem> jkridner: thanks for your help man
  • [06:11:32] <geckosenator> or alt and left and right arrow keys (only works in linux)
  • [06:13:01] <geckosenator> can anyone think of a reason to level translate to different levels for different expansion pins?

  • [06:36:19] <Strontium> geckosenator, you could, although I dont think it is necessarily required. Cant see that it would hurt though. The way I read it, you would use regen to enable any dc-dc converters on your expansion board, so that they come up after the base board power is stable. If you did this, you would need to stretch the RESETn signal to your devices to ensure they came up after the appropriate power on delays have been met.

  • [13:52:12] <SpeedEvil> Wghat linux knowledge do you have ATM?>
  • [13:53:19] <Beagle4> very little to be honest.. i only use to develop some image processing with gcc
  • [13:53:22] <SpeedEvil> the second is probably better covered on manpages, and webpages of the tools involved.
  • [13:53:35] <SpeedEvil> The first seems to be an overview on the kernel.
  • [13:53:37] <SpeedEvil> But.
  • [13:53:45] <Beagle4> oh
  • [13:53:48] <SpeedEvil> You might well not need to touch the kernel at all in many cases.
  • [13:54:08] <SpeedEvil> What are you hoping to develop?
  • [13:54:17] <Beagle4> a media player
  • [13:54:56] <SpeedEvil> I'm not sure you need to do any kernel work at all, assuming there is a simple kernel driver existing that'd let you read states of IO ports, to connect buttons to.
  • [13:54:59] <SpeedEvil> With what display?

  • [13:55:59] <SpeedEvil> The beagle board in the current version as I understand it won't connect easily to small graphical displays
  • [13:56:22] <SpeedEvil> Only HDMI ones - which tend to be large monitors.
  • [13:56:53] <SpeedEvil> You can talk to ones that use SPI or other methods to communicate.

  • [13:57:28] <Beagle4> oh ok!. i do have a blackfin kit as well with decent visualDSP environment but it doesn't have any built in support for sd card or flash memory..
  • [13:57:53] <Beagle4> so still thinking which one to use
  • [13:57:55] <SpeedEvil> Do you need a display?
  • [13:58:03] <koen> SpeedEvil: it works on dvi screens as well
  • [13:58:04] <Beagle4> small display
  • [13:58:06] <koen> SpeedEvil: and s-video
  • [13:58:11] <Beagle4> oh
  • [13:58:28] <SpeedEvil> Well - the two tasks are utterly different.
  • [13:58:51] <SpeedEvil> One you'll be developing all the low-level code.
  • [13:58:55] <Beagle4> i slowly realise :)
  • [13:59:09] <SpeedEvil> The other way you'll be more or less porting large chunks of existing libraries to it.
  • [13:59:28] <SpeedEvil> Or rather - developing your app using large chunks of existing code
  • [13:59:59] <SpeedEvil> For example, you plug a SD card in, and it just appears in the subdirectory /media/card (pretty-much, there may be scripts needed)
  • [14:00:16] * supo (n=supo@s-inf-pc117.oulu.fi) Quit ("Ex-Chat")
  • [14:00:34] <SpeedEvil> And the other way, you have to find a library for using SD, a filesystem driver, ...
  • [14:00:55] <Beagle4> yeah thats where i lose the track.. everything is just working straightaway although i dont understand why and how it works :(
  • [14:01:10] <SpeedEvil> It's basically - more or less - a normal linux desktop.
  • [14:01:17] <SpeedEvil> Just 3"*3"
  • [14:01:27] <SpeedEvil> with some of the usual ports missing.
  • [14:01:50] <SpeedEvil> A large fraction of the stuff you'll need is simply 'normal' linux application development.

  • [14:07:27] <Beagle4> i think i probably keep working on blackfin kit. [the only problem is though adi tend to sell some daughter board for every question i ask :) ] should reserve the beagle until i become more familiar with linux kernal.

  • [14:58:29] <khasim> dirk2: as shown in the patch sent to the list
  • [14:58:56] <dirk2> khasim: k. thanks. Some history: Scott Wood, the U-Boot NAND custodian told us to call nand_scan_tail() to switch the functions.
  • [14:59:15] <khasim> dirk2: we do call that today,
  • [14:59:26] <khasim> dirk2: but that doesn't rescan the bbt
  • [14:59:34] <dirk2> khasim: We did this, but then we would have a memory leak because of kmalloc at top of nand_scan_tail().
  • [14:59:35] <khasim> or allocate the bbt
  • [15:00:07] <dirk2> khasim: So he told us to call release, too. But I missed the additional free :(

  • [15:01:27] <dirk2> khasim: Yes
  • [15:02:12] <khasim> dirk2: call nand_scan_tail with options chip->options & NAND_OWN_BUFFERS
  • [15:02:36] <khasim> dirk2: then the buffers won't be allocated again

  • [15:03:12] <khasim> yes
  • [15:04:20] <khasim> dirk2: in the 1.3.3 version the ecc switch was implemented with out nand_scan_tail
  • [15:04:36] <khasim> dirk2: I am not sure what value it adds
  • [15:04:48] <khasim> dirk2: we just need omap_hwecc_init(nand);
  • [15:05:31] <khasim> dirk2: and updating the structure for eccmode, autooob, eccsize, etc
  • [15:05:32] <dirk2> khasim: The existing code was heavily reviewed by Scott Wood. For the old version he told us "you can't do it this way".
  • [15:05:44] <khasim> dirk2: ok
  • [15:06:15] <khasim> dirk2: may be discuss with him on our findings again

  • [15:07:16] <dirk2> khasim: discuss: Yes! I already looked at U-Boot IRC. He isn't there at the moment.
  • [15:07:45] <khasim> dirk2: I will do more reading of code and see if there is a better option,

  • [15:09:23] <khasim> dirk2: one moment
  • [15:09:39] <rscott13> I'd like to turn off the display controller, to recover the approximately 35 MB/sec memory bandwidth, so that I can improve a benchmark result. I've looked at the blank routine in omap_fb, which calls omap2_disp_disable in display.c. Unfortunately, disp_disable only turns off the pins driving the display (if I read the datasheet correctly), leaving the display controller active. Is there another IOCTL somewhere, or do I need to bash
  • [15:09:39] <rscott13> the DISPC_VIDn_ATTRIBUTES[0] VIDENABLE bit directly? (The datasheet description of the VIDENABLE bit reads as follows:The video DMA engine fetches encoded pixels from the system memory only when the video layer is enabled)...

  • [18:15:29] <atin_> I have a linksys usb200M 100basetx adapter - can I connect it to the beagle board directly using a mini-a to standard A female or do I need to go thru a hub?
  • [18:15:42] <atin_> lsusb seems to find the adapter.
  • [18:15:50] <jkridner|work> hub is advisable.
  • [18:16:03] <jkridner|work> 100mA limit on the USB OTG port.
  • [18:16:09] <atin_> but udhcpc seems to not get anywhere...and the router logs don't show anything.
  • [18:16:10] <atin_> ok
  • [18:16:49] <atin_> dang - I seem to have a bunch of mini-b to standard A, one mini-a to standard A but no mini-A to standard A to plug into the hub!
  • [18:17:20] <atin_> standard A male I mean, rather than the female. and no standard A to standard A either. weird.
  • [18:17:55] <atin_> question about openembedded and building x-load and u-boot from sources.
  • [18:18:34] <atin_> I know I can do bitbake x-load and it works - but where are the sources? and if I wanted to get the git repository and use that to build, how would I go about it?
  • [18:19:01] <atin_> the recipe seems to get the .tar from sakoman's site
  • [18:19:40] <kblin> atin_: my hub has a mini-B port where the host connection goes, the A ports are for the peripherals
  • [18:20:17] <atin_> hmm, let me check mine - I haven't looked at it closely. its the one from digikey that the hardware list points to
  • [18:20:36] <atin_> oh yes

  • [18:25:38] <atin_> (Yes! ping google.com - 98ms!)
  • [18:25:47] <atin_> guess I needed the hub
  • [18:26:13] <sakoman_> atin_: if you bitbake x-load it uses the source from my git
  • [18:26:29] <sakoman_> will all happen automatically
  • [18:26:42] <atin_> yes, I saw that - it uses the tar tho - I want to actually get the sources and muck with it :)

  • [18:27:51] <sakoman_> no it will not
  • [18:27:58] <sakoman_> it will re-fetch
  • [18:28:19] <sakoman_> you would need to generate patches and add them to the recipe

  • [18:30:58] <atin_> no more than that
  • [18:31:31] <atin_> same for u-boot.
  • [18:32:06] <atin_> I want to build u-boot myself - to learn how for when I have to do it for some new hardware my company builds
  • [18:32:20] * Pavlov (n=pavlov@shell.off.net) has joined #beagle
  • [18:33:27] <sakoman_> atin_: for something simple like that, generating a patch and adding it to the x-load/u-boot recipe is probably the simplest way to go

  • [18:34:14] <sakoman_> koen: tried to do a clean build of udumpty -- the build dies on totem on both of my build machines
  • [18:34:19] <atin_> ok, that sounds good. so I can checkout the repository in a separate tree, generate a patch, and modify the recipe.
  • [18:34:36] <sakoman_> atin_: that's what I would do
  • [18:34:56] <atin_> great. thanks a lot - you've put in a lot of work into beagleboard!

  • [18:40:13] <sakoman_> atin_: are you playing with Beagle for fun or for a work project?
  • [18:40:24] <atin_> fun.
  • [18:40:54] <atin_> I'm sort of recovering from a long illness, so not working these days and thought I'd just do this for now
  • [18:42:16] <atin_> I was doing some contract work for friends until last week, i2c drivers, for a box doing video delivery but I finished that and am between stuff.
  • [18:42:41] <atin_> thought I'd learn more about u-boot etc since that is one area I known very little about

  • [21:40:19] <RogerMonk> (at the moment)
  • [21:40:44] <RogerMonk> trying to minimize the variables :)
  • [21:40:54] <gregoiregentil> Let's be positive. It can't be slower than the open source 3d drivers ;-) Well I hope...
  • [21:41:24] <Crofton> try to make sure it will work on 128M systems also :)
  • [21:41:36] <gregoiregentil> Well, revision C is around the corner
  • [21:41:42] <RogerMonk> Crofton, right :)
  • [21:41:51] <RogerMonk> Crofton has 128 on his SFFSDR board
  • [21:41:52] <gregoiregentil> I would go first for 256... then we can optimize for lower memory
  • [21:42:16] <Crofton> gregoiregentil, there are some hard coded addresses in the software
  • [21:42:32] <gregoiregentil> OK
  • [21:42:34] <primer1> what would happen if I used a 13.5v source when it asks for 12?
  • [21:43:37] <Crofton> depends on the power supply
  • [21:44:30] <gregoiregentil> So RogerMonk, do you have any rough date for Davinci and then beagle?
  • [21:44:41] <gregoiregentil> will we get something for Davinci before year end?
  • [21:44:44] <PapaGrillo> so, in order to use the microphone and headphone ports of the beagleboard I need the codec?
  • [21:44:54] <PapaGrillo> has anybody used a usb sound card with microphone successfully?
  • [21:49:45] <SpeedEvil> Not on the beagle.
  • [21:49:52] <SpeedEvil> I can't see why it wouldn't work though.

  • [22:19:49] <sakoman> PapaGrillo: both line in and headset out ports should work with recent kernels
  • [22:20:11] <sakoman> I believe koen has had some success with usb audio
  • [22:24:05] <Crofton> sakoman, Tomorrow I need to test the Overo "SDR"
  • [22:25:11] <Crofton> Physical Therapy wore me out, and I didn't even do anything
  • [22:25:25] <sakoman> Crofton: does that mean you've done some hw? Or are you just using the audio port(s)
  • [22:25:36] <Crofton> just audio
  • [22:25:48] <Crofton> I use a data file containing samples collected of air
  • [22:25:55] <Crofton> thus the ""'s :)
  • [22:26:06] <sakoman> I'm beat too. Was out cutting up a downed oak tree.
  • [22:26:11] <Crofton> urg
  • [22:26:16] <Crofton> tough stuff
  • [22:26:19] <Crofton> that oek
  • [22:26:34] <sakoman> Now the hard part -- splitting those 20" rounds :-(
  • [22:26:49] <Crofton> you need a power splitter
  • [22:26:53] <sakoman> I do

  • [22:27:26] <Crofton> yeah, I need the exercise also
  • [22:27:43] <sakoman> you're a cripple now!
  • [22:28:00] <sakoman> exercise is forbidden till you heal
  • [22:28:20] <Crofton> heh
  • [22:28:22] <sakoman> especially stay off that bike :-0
  • [22:28:42] <Crofton> the bike is on a stand inside
  • [22:28:48] <Crofton> I'll be on it soon
  • [22:29:05] <sakoman> I suppose it is relatively safe on a stand ;-)
  • [22:29:08] <RogerMonk> gregoiregentil - yes hope something before year end.
  • [22:29:11] <Crofton> although I'll need to support myslef one handed for a bit
  • [22:29:15] <RogerMonk> will keep u posted
  • [22:30:34] <sakoman> Crofton: is wifi on overo working OK for you?
  • [22:31:00] <Crofton> it did the time I ran it
  • [22:31:10] <Crofton> well, I ran it with tcpdump
  • [22:31:53] <Crofton> I think the Percocet makes me sleep poorly, which means I am falling asleep half the time
  • [22:32:03] <Crofton> I need to get past this phase fast
  • [22:32:29] <sakoman> Crofton: sleeping a lot is probably not a bad idea
  • [22:32:35] <sakoman> might heal faster
  • [22:32:55] <Crofton> yeah, but I would rather do it at night
  • [22:33:42] <Crofton> and I suspect the range of motion PT is going to keep it sore for a few days
