[01:37:35] <crazy_pete> lol i remember reading back in the 1990s about some electric device that was destroyed by putting it on an antistatic mat :)
[01:38:02] <djlewis> makes sense
[01:38:16] <djlewis> device at some potential, mat at another
[01:38:32] <crazy_pete> somebody had really badly designed this so that even a very high resistance would would wreck some component
[01:38:36] <djlewis> thogh the mats are supposed to have a very high resistance value
[01:38:53] <djlewis> same
[01:39:04] <crazy_pete> i don't remember what this was, but the failure wouldn't actually destroy the device, just make it act goofy :)
[01:39:30] <djlewis> hmm
[01:40:27] <crazy_pete> it would only wreck some component that was critical but not fatal ;)
[01:40:55] <crazy_pete> i remember reading about it in "Byte" or something like that
[01:41:12] <ffs> does anyone have any experience with the beagle tablet from Always Innovating? Since he did the Zonbu project which was essentially abandoned I'm a bit wary.
[01:41:12] <djlewis> just enough to send you off into the sun rather than where you thought you were going in your spacecraft.
[01:41:49] <crazy_pete> the way they discovered it was somebody was trying to troubleshoot the thing and noticed when you put an ohm-meter across these two pins the same goofy behaviour started
[01:42:25] <crazy_pete> (that is the "short" in the ohm meter was about the same resistance as the static mat between these two pins :) )

[01:48:29] <killring> ffs: I've been following ai for quite a while and my best advice is caution. they don't have a great record of shipping product (solid or otherwise) to date.
[01:49:01] <ffs> they have a new version of the tablet with a camera and something else
[01:49:26] <ffs> and another project which can best be described as a whatchamcallit
[01:49:27] <killring> yeah, they've announced 2 new versions (the tb 2 and the sb)
[01:49:53] <killring> just be careful re: your expectations... check out the forums on their site
[01:49:56] <ffs> can't figure out what the sb is supposed to be for
[01:50:25] <ffs> forums are sparse, and there doesn't seem to be any os updates, which would be more important
[01:51:42] <killring> then you're not reading the forums... that issue among others has been raised by customers

[01:59:07] * duffolonious (~bryan@75-168-77-218.mpls.qwest.net) has joined #beagle
[01:59:18] <killring> I keep an eye on them as I think what they are trying to do is worthwhile, but their execution has been poor to date
[01:59:28] <ffs> its a little flimsy
[02:00:06] <killring> ... if you managed to get one... and if the one you managed to get worked... and if you could live with the issues... etc...
[02:00:07] <ffs> neat ideas, but poor execution
[02:00:19] <killring> yep
[02:00:49] <ffs> was wondering if this gadget would ever lead to a beaglebrick, ie portable powerful ham radio computer
[02:01:22] <killring> not sure what you mean by that (i.e. ham radio computer?)
[02:01:34] <ffs> look up beagle brick
[02:01:54] <ffs> in the same way al has used the beagle board to make a mini computer
[02:02:06] <djlewis> anyone seen any completed real images of beagle brick?
[02:02:26] * ogra (~ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[02:02:35] <ffs> you could use the beagle board, a touch screen and a radio board to make a portable power ham radio unlike anything made until now
[02:02:49] <ffs> beagle brick seems to have only been conceptual up to this point
[02:03:27] <killring> so it has a lot in common with the touchbook (only somewhat kidding)
[02:03:57] <djlewis> yep
[02:03:58] <ffs> the touchbook was produced
[02:04:13] * ogra (~ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra) has joined #beagle
[02:04:16] <ffs> beaglebrick is just an idea
[02:05:18] <killring> there isn't a ton of difference between an idea and a product you can't buy
[02:11:23] <killring> if they address the execution issues, the new tb could be what you are looking for... I'm just sayin', be wary about jumping in until there's some better feedback from other customers
[02:16:16] <djlewis> and dont place an order and pay up front for undeliverable product.
[02:17:08] <killring> agreed
[02:18:10] <djlewis> and often enough the first run of a product might go through several revisions and you'll wish you waited.
[02:22:30] <ffs> a touch screen linux table/net gadget fills my inner geek but I imagine I can wait till someone gets it right
[02:23:35] <killring> that's what I ended up deciding to skip the original tb and got a bb-xm to tide me over while I wait for the right tablet
[02:23:53] <killring> maybe the tb2 will get it done, but I'm not going to be first in line to find out
[02:26:59] <killring> however, I had no such concerns re: the -xm because I was convinced after watching them work through issues with the original bb that execution wasn't going to be an issue, though I did/do take the risk djlewis described re: buying rev 1
[02:27:03] <killring> so far, no regrets
[02:29:02] <kblin> huh?
[02:29:42] <kblin> doesn't the xm connector do crossover?
[02:30:00] <djlewis> use straight thru
[02:30:01] <kblin> er, serial connector
[02:31:22] <kblin> ok, so I have a serial-usb connector attached, but I'm not getting serial output
[02:31:59] <killring> what are your serial settings on the pc side?
[02:32:01] <djlewis> short pins 2 and 3 of the werial end of usb2serial and look for echo
[02:32:12] <djlewis> s/werial/serial
[02:32:44] <kblin> I know that cable works. If I add a null modem cable, I can use that connector to talk to my C4 and B6 beagles
[02:33:07] <killring> kblin: a null modem cable will *not* work
[02:33:22] <kblin> yeah, I don't have one attached now

[02:33:51] <kblin> I'm just saying that _if_ I add a null modem cable, I can talk to a normal beagle just fine
[02:34:04] <killring> sure
[02:34:18] <killring> and a straight through cable to the -xm should work identically
[02:34:47] * ffs (~chatzilla@user-12lcmub.cable.mindspring.com) has left #beagle
[02:35:17] <djlewis> perhaps the PC port is confused
[02:35:25] <killring> actually, one correction: doesn't the original bb use ttl level while the -xm uses rs-232 levels?
[02:35:46] <kblin> ok, if I short the pins, that works as well
[02:35:54] <kblin> cable alone
[02:38:04] <djlewis> no they all use +/- voltage swings on serial
[02:38:24] <djlewis> lower volts than true serial rs-232
[02:40:22] <kblin> anyhow, it's not working
[02:41:38] <killring> bad cable perhaps?
[02:42:24] <kblin> as I said, if I short pins 2 and 3, I can see what I'm typing, and that cable works to talk to other beagles (if I add a nullmodem cable)
[02:42:44] <djlewis> are the BB lights normal?
[02:43:27] <djlewis> and dont ask me what XM normal is ;)
[02:44:22] <kblin> I don't know either, I just got the thing
[02:44:49] <kblin> and no, I don't have a monitor around that I could attach to check if that's giving me anything sane
[02:44:55] <djlewis> ITS UNLIKELY A NEW ONE IS DOA
[02:45:04] <djlewis> oops
[02:45:11] <kblin> yeah, that's what I though
[02:46:06] <kblin> so I'm wondering what the heck is the problem with serial
[02:46:46] <kblin> because it's a bit hard to set up a headless box if you don't have a serial
[02:47:08] <killring> dunno... mine is working but that obviously doesn't help you
[02:47:44] <killring> are you using the validation or demo image or something else?
[02:48:17] <killring> (i.e. can you ssh in via ethernet)
[02:50:55] <kblin> killring: well, dunno what's on the sd card the system came with
[02:51:23] <killring> that's the validation image and that will allow you to ssh in via ether

[02:52:59] <killring> it uses dhcp so just plug it into a network with a dhcp server (you will need to check on the dhcp server to see what the address assigned is)
[02:53:14] <kblin> I don't control the dhcp server
[02:54:03] <kblin> hmm
[02:54:27] <killring> do you have a switch lying around that you could use? (any dinky linksys/dlink type device will do)
[02:56:14] <killring> you could also plug it directly into an ethernet port on another computer provided it will auto crossover and the computer can act as a dhcp server
[02:56:50] <UI-Con> how do I access gpio on the xm board?

[08:41:38] * major scratches his head.
[08:42:19] <major> so PMU comes on w/out sd/mmc inserted, but when sd/mmc inserted, after applying power it stays off. if I hold the USER button and then tap reset, PMU stat comes on

[08:48:48] <ynezz> change dvi resolution in u-boot
[08:49:03] <ynezz> to hd720 or something, depends on your TV
[08:51:44] <Guest86042> ynezz my tv is sony bravia S BE3.
[08:51:52] <Guest86042> how to change in uboot?
[08:52:05] * lag_ (~lag@5ac65741.bb.sky.com) has joined #beagle

[08:52:48] <Guest86042> no i dont have serial port to my system
[08:52:55] <ynezz> so change your boot.scr
[08:52:56] <Guest86042> as well no null modem cablee

[08:55:25] <Guest86042> is it correct?
[08:55:54] <ynezz> who knows, try it
[08:56:16] <major> guess I should set up an RMA on this board
[08:57:06] <major> or send it back to the vendor for a replacement would likely make more sense I guess
[08:57:10] <major> since it is apparently DOA

[08:59:21] <major> Guest86042, no clue, I have never had to go tweak that

[09:11:43] <Guest86042> ynezz thanks ,
[09:12:14] <major> this thing just up and booted
[09:12:31] <major> amazingly .. it didn't report anything to the serial on the way through
[09:13:07] <Guest86042> i am new to building ubuntu and porting. not able to find exactly where i have to run mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "Ubuntu 10.04" -d ./ubuntu.cmd ./ubuntu.scr i mean in which folder?
[09:14:26] <ynezz> there's a channel #ubuntu-arm dedicated for ubuntu specific questions
[09:15:02] <major> where is the possessed beagle board room? cause this board is making confused
[09:15:24] <major> the thing arrived friday in the AM, and I hadn't gotten it to do anything but power cycle and reset
[09:15:48] <ynezz> you're talking about XM?
[09:16:03] <major> and here I just let it sit around in its default powered on tardo stage, for giggles I held the USER button and hit reset again, and it bloody booted
[09:16:15] <major> no, a regular old Rev.C4
[09:16:26] <major> the other BeagleBoard I was using is currently in a different state
[09:16:47] <ynezz> did you tried that c4 validation page?
[09:17:00] <major> I still can't get anything on serial :)

[09:17:07] <major> even during a valid boot
[09:17:41] <ynezz> do you have correct cable?
[09:18:26] <major> same one that works on the other board
[09:18:40] <major> and after a reset now I get some serial data
[09:19:06] <major> this board is possessed
[09:19:50] <ynezz> bad luck
[09:19:55] <ynezz> it happens
[09:21:29] <major> I know, just been a bit annoying

[13:27:50] <ynezz> Any u-boot expert here? I wonder if it's possible to printf double/float in u-boot. Looks like it's not possible to use %.2f format, even they claim C99 support
[13:29:01] <mru> why would you use floats in a boot loader?
[13:29:27] <mru> a boot loader needs to be small
[13:29:53] <mru> and stripping out everything floating-point related from the likes of printf saves quite a bit
[13:30:28] <ynezz> just want to print monitor gamma value from EDID
[13:30:47] <mru> why are you messing with edid in u-boot?
[13:32:06] <ynezz> here http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_frm/thread/df33eee4618e06b4#
[13:32:35] <ynezz> but ok, it's not necessary to display gamma value I think
[13:33:13] <mru> I still don't see why u-boot is at all involved in edid parsing

[13:34:38] <ynezz> better autoconfiguration of displays, because there's no standard value for resolution
[13:34:57] <mru> what is u-boot doing with the display?
[13:35:36] <ynezz> displays that orange crap for example
[13:35:42] <mru> the boot loader's job is to do basic system configuration (ram timings etc) and load the kernel, nothing more
[13:36:15] <ynezz> board validation is another reason
[13:36:51] <ynezz> and detection of LCD expansion boards not using J3 connector
[13:37:11] <mru> linux kernel can do all that
[13:37:19] <mru> or even userspace in some cases
[13:37:40] <ynezz> yes, so why are you configuring mux settings for expansion board in u-boot now?
[13:37:54] <ynezz> if it's possible later in kernel
[13:38:07] <mru> quick and dirty hack
[13:38:39] <ynezz> yes, might be
[13:38:42] <mru> the boot loader should only do the bare minimum needed for the kernel to run
[13:39:23] <ynezz> I don't even understand why they're using u-boot, the board can be configured in xloader, right?
[13:39:26] <ynezz> :)
[13:39:50] <mru> xloader should go away some time
[13:40:07] <mru> the problem is that the first-stage loader needs to fit in sram
[13:40:13] <mru> and current u-boot doesn't
[13:40:17] <ynezz> ah

[15:58:02] <Dave123> but when I tried to install the gui

[15:58:38] <Dave123> it says something like there is a read only area of the /vart/lib/dpkg/lock
[15:59:01] <Dave123> I tried Maverick and Lucid both
[15:59:06] <Dave123> the same
[15:59:09] <djlewis> sounds like two instances of the package manager running
[15:59:44] <Dave123> other issue is audio support

[16:00:22] <Dave123> to check if there are other instaces of package manager running?
[16:00:27] <Dave123> and kill it

[16:00:37] <Dave123> top
[16:00:40] <Dave123> ?

[16:40:51] <ynezz> what's the problem? reading whole 128 bytes while booting?
[16:42:07] <ynezz> I would like to add some environment option, so you can disable that i2c probing at all, if you don't want to use it
[16:44:46] <ynezz> this would get rid of that annoying I/O error message also

[18:28:54] <kblin> does the validation image have a program to check if my serial connection on the board is working?
[18:29:32] <killring> iirc, the validation image allows you to use the serial port
[18:31:09] <kblin> ok, let me try that
[18:31:15] <_av500_> kblin: why not check by hooking a serial cable?
[18:31:26] <kblin> because it's not working
[18:31:34] <kblin> I get zero serial output
[18:31:43] <kblin> no xloader, no uboot, nothing
[18:31:44] <kblin> I
[18:31:58] <kblin> 've tried two usb to serial adapters already
[18:32:12] <_av500_> wrong cabling
[18:32:24] <kblin> what cable do I need then?
[18:32:30] <mru> correct one
[18:32:51] <kblin> I'll laugh later when some of you is actually funny
[18:33:35] <mru> you need a cable that connects pc rx to beagle tx and vice versa

[18:35:36] <kblin> ok, so, I've got a usb2serial adapter, that works with my two beagle boards if I add a nullmodem cable
[18:35:38] <djlewis> that worked with his usb dongle
[18:36:05] <peterretief> ok connecting via my beagle/Angstrom
[18:36:25] <mru> kblin: connecting a usb-serial adaptor directly to the xm works
[18:36:28] <kblin> I've checked that I can get data from tx to rx on both adapters, I don't have a way to check gnd
[18:36:32] <mru> no other cable needed
[18:36:33] <kblin> mru: not for me
[18:36:39] <kblin> yes, I know
[18:36:48] <mru> then your usb-serial is dead

[18:37:06] <kblin> two adapters, both dead?
[18:37:08] <djlewis> no, he gets loopback
[18:37:13] <_av500_> mass suicide?
[18:37:27] <kblin> both do loopback, so both have a non-working gnd?
[18:37:34] <_av500_> doubt that
[18:37:36] <peterretief> serial lemmings
[18:37:40] <kblin> yeah, same here

[18:40:31] <peterretief> i dont think i used crossover
[18:40:36] <peterretief> ?
[18:41:34] <kblin> no, for the xm you don't need that
[18:42:28] <djlewis> kblin: have you looked at the solder connections on the bd for both the serial conn and the little level convert chip?
[18:42:45] <peterretief> i bought a usb to serial cable and plugged it in to the beagle
[18:44:37] <djlewis> i'd be hoooking that little s. of a b. to my scope and looking for the serial data trail.
[18:45:42] <_av500_> djlewis: i like it how the sparkfun ftdi thingies have little red/green tx/rx LEDs...
[18:46:04] <djlewis> _av500_: yeah thats a cool diagnostic

[19:02:31] <_av500_> djlewis: they have been at every electronica so far, that has not helped their ICs being available at all

[19:03:15] <kblin> ok, so microcom doesn't give me loopback on the XM
[19:03:51] <djlewis> kblin: you shelling into your beagle?
[19:04:10] <djlewis> or minicom on pc?
[19:04:18] <djlewis> microcom
[19:04:44] <kblin> I've got my beagle connected to my laptop using an ethernet cable, figured out the IP address my dhcp server gives the board, and connected as root
[19:04:52] <kblin> using ssh
[19:05:09] <djlewis> cool, then you dont need the stinkin serial ;P
[19:05:34] <kblin> of course I do, to figure out why the heck it's not working with the non-validation image
[19:05:46] <djlewis> oh, always a catch :(
[19:06:03] <kblin> also, I'd rather figure out if the board is broken while I'm still in the US
[19:07:11] <kblin> anyway, I've plugged in a wire to the 2 and 3 hole on the xm, and "microcom /dev/ttyS2" doesn't give me an echo
[19:07:53] <djlewis> aren't there some tweaks to use ttyS2 inside?
[19:08:28] <kblin> dunno, I'm also not sure if getty running on ttyS2 will screw up this thing
[19:08:52] <kblin> but I can't kill getty even if I comment out the line from inititab
[19:09:06] <kblin> and if I reboot, my changes are gone, of course
[19:15:34] <kblin> and my other image isn't booting :(
[19:16:03] <kblin> and without a serial connection, I don't have a clue why
[19:16:30] <koen> make sure you use the proper uboot, mlo and kernel
[19:16:49] <koen> since some LDOs changed, you might not be powering up the serial transceiver
[19:17:54] <kblin> I've copied the uboot.bin and MLO from the validation image, and used the uImage and uInitrd from a rootstock build that's working on my C4 at home

[19:19:38] <kblin> it doesn't seem to be doing anyting though. I know the network adapter is not powered up, I never even get a connection
[19:27:54] <koen> sounds like your uImage power up the right stuff
[19:32:26] <Crofton> koen, still no luck seeing X start after adding gdm
[19:32:37] <ynezz> kblin: do you have SD card in?
[19:32:56] <koen> Crofton: anything in /var/log/X*log ?
[19:33:24] <ynezz> kblin: sorry if you do, but I didn't followed your whole conversation
[19:33:35] <Crofton> no log at all
[19:33:41] <Crofton> I did see gdm start
[19:33:57] <Crofton> this is gdm and the two xgce tasks
[19:35:34] <koen> what happens if you start 'Xorg' in shell?
[19:37:34] <Crofton> hmmm
[19:37:42] <Crofton> Xorg: command not found
[19:38:01] <crazy_pete> everything else is the same kblin ?

[19:38:16] <rlameiro> startx
[19:39:48] <crazy_pete> sorry i am having trouble following your problem, you can boot, but if you use a different rootfs image, it fails?
[19:39:51] <crazy_pete> kblin?
[19:43:16] <kblin> ynezz: sorry, was out to grab some coffee
[19:44:15] <kblin> ynezz: I have an SD card in, with MLO and uboot.bin from the validation image, uImage, uInitrd and user.scr from ubuntu rootstock
[19:45:00] <kblin> crazy_pete: the validation image works, but doesn't do anything useful, a different image doesn't boot
[19:45:14] <kblin> and my serial connection doesn't seem to work
[19:45:40] <kblin> which is the main reason for trying to get into the image that's not running getty on ttyS2
[19:46:08] <ynezz> and you've user button pressed, right?
[19:46:13] <crazy_pete> thanks kblin i was just making sure
[19:46:31] <kblin> crazy_pete: tried both
[19:46:31] <crazy_pete> when you say "Different" image you mean a different rootfs image not a different kernel image ?
[19:46:55] <crazy_pete> so it IS the rootfs image that is causing the problem?
[19:46:58] <kblin> er ynezz ^^^
[19:47:07] <kblin> crazy_pete: different rootfs and kernel

[19:47:44] <kblin> I can probably try the validation image's kernel
[19:47:57] <crazy_pete> so you are or are not using the same kernel?
[19:47:57] <ynezz> and MLO
[19:48:11] <kblin> MLO and uimage.bin are from the validation image

[19:49:09] <ynezz> for example for me working MLO on C4 was from angstrom demo, not from validation
[19:49:33] <kblin> the validation MLO seems to be working for the validation image
[19:50:23] <ynezz> serial is working?
[19:50:33] <kblin> no
[19:50:47] <kblin> I don't get serial output from the board at all
[19:50:54] <ynezz> so we're talking about different things
[19:51:17] <ynezz> try to get working mlo/u-boot first, than care about kernel :)
[19:51:21] <kblin> ynezz: oh, you mean you didn't get serial output from the validation image?
[19:51:42] <kblin> ynezz: I was trying to figure out if the serial connection is working at all
[19:51:56] <ynezz> no, I got some output, but it got frozen after
[19:52:15] <kblin> I get no output whatsoever
[19:52:22] <ynezz> try to erase nand from linux, if it's possible
[19:52:32] <kblin> how?
[19:52:39] <kblin> I thought I need serial for that
[19:52:51] <ynezz> and take out the SD card, you should see some garbage
[19:52:56] <kblin> no
[19:53:00] <kblin> I don't see anything
[19:53:51] <ynezz> damn, you maybe have some crap in your nand, so delete it and don't allow to boot from SD card, you'll get some garbage at that point on serial
[19:54:01] <crazy_pete> what are you using to view now kblin if your serial isnt working are you using the onboard vid?
[19:54:18] <kblin> crazy_pete: I can ssh into the validation image
[19:54:29] <crazy_pete> and the image doesn't "Run" on a particular tty AFAIK, that is a kernel argument
[19:54:37] <crazy_pete> ok so it IS running kblin ?
[19:54:44] <kblin> the validation image boots
[19:54:45] <crazy_pete> if you can ssh into it how can you say it isn't booting ?
[19:54:54] <kblin> the other image doesn't
[19:54:55] <crazy_pete> oh the root stock image doesn't boot
[19:55:09] <crazy_pete> and you can't see why because yer serial isn't working
[19:55:25] <crazy_pete> and you don't have a vid connector to hook a monitor directly to the board?
[19:55:31] <djlewis> now we are on the same page :)
[19:55:33] <crazy_pete> (sorry it took me so long to understand)
[19:55:35] <kblin> nope, I'm a t a conference
[19:55:45] <kblin> so I'm a bit limited with the hardware I have around
[19:55:57] <crazy_pete> does he mean "yes" by "Nope" ?
[19:55:59] <crazy_pete> :)
[19:56:08] <kblin> ah, a linguist
[19:56:22] <kblin> then "yes, I don't have a monitor around"
[19:56:24] <crazy_pete> but u did mean "yes" right? :)
[19:56:25] <crazy_pete> thanks :)
[19:56:57] <ynezz> it's simple, "brick" the board and you should see some garbage on serial, if not, your serial setup is wrong or it's HW related, you'll need scope, led or something
[19:57:00] <kblin> so, what I was trying to establish so far was if the serial connection on the board is working or not
[19:57:24] <crazy_pete> ynezz is right you should see SOMETHING on the port
[19:57:29] <ynezz> brick = erase the whole nand and take out the SD card
[19:57:55] <kblin> xm boards have a nand?
[19:57:55] <djlewis> but how
[19:57:59] <crazy_pete> even if your comm settings are wrong u will still see garbage
[19:58:15] <kblin> djlewis: I figure I could do this from a user.scr script
[19:58:21] <ynezz> kblin: ah, there's no nand? :p
[19:58:27] <djlewis> interesting
[19:58:39] <djlewis> so whats to erase then?
[19:58:43] <djlewis> ddr?
[19:58:46] <djlewis> gone at power off
[19:58:47] <kblin> ynezz: not sure, I just seem to remember hearing there was no nand on XMs
[19:58:50] <ynezz> sorry than, I'm old school with c4 only
[19:59:04] <djlewis> kblin: correct, no nand
[19:59:26] <ynezz> hm, it must be fun than
[19:59:28] <kblin> ok, in any case, no serial output whatsoever seems bad
[19:59:52] <djlewis> yeah, pretty handy tool sometimes
[20:00:25] <djlewis> i expect the serial is defined in the boot.scr of both sd's?
[20:01:13] <ynezz> when the processor boots, knows nothing about filesystem I think
[20:01:13] <djlewis> have we established that there will or will not be serial console xfer if no SD is inserted in XM
[20:01:16] <kblin> shouldn't I see output from xloader and uboot in any case?
[20:01:26] <ynezz> yes, you should
[20:01:35] <ynezz> boot.scr is for u-bot
[20:01:44] <djlewis> not my bot
[20:03:17] <kblin> ok, no output without SD card either
[20:03:28] <kblin> I'm not sure if that's expected or not
[20:03:40] <djlewis> per my question above
[20:03:45] <djlewis> me either.
[20:04:06] <kblin> there's no boot.scr on the validation image

[20:05:05] <ynezz> nothing there :)
[20:05:10] <ynezz> wrong cable :p
[20:05:52] <ynezz> If a 60 is displayed over the serial cable cpu is booting, issue is SD/MMC card
[20:06:01] <ynezz> otherwise wrong cable
[20:06:20] <kblin> but the cable does loopback
[20:06:35] <djlewis> and is straight thru?
[20:06:43] <kblin> and I've tried with a different USB-to-serial adapter
[20:06:46] <djlewis> just the usb2serial dongle?
[20:06:46] <kblin> no extra cable
[20:06:49] <kblin> yeah
[20:06:56] <djlewis> sposed to just work
[20:07:01] <djlewis> according to mru
[20:07:02] <kblin> yeah, supposed
[20:07:54] <djlewis> ynezz: you saying the omap rom or whatever it is will post a 60 of no SD?
[20:08:09] <ynezz> kblin: try to build image with narcisuss, there's then 1G image with working boot FAT partition with latest mlo/uboot inside and dd it to sdcard

[20:08:38] <ynezz> it's 4.1MiB
[20:09:02] <ynezz> it's working fine for me on c3/c4 so maybe it would for you also
[20:09:47] <ynezz> djlewis: seems so, Table 47. Troubleshooting, but I don't have XM to test it

[20:36:54] <kblin> but I'm getting some sort of nervous heartbeat blinking on LED D6
[20:37:04] <ynezz> serial output?
[20:37:49] <ynezz> heartbeat means it booted to user space, there it's configured
[20:37:51] <djlewis> led faster = busier system
[20:38:16] <kblin> nothing on serial whatsoever, no link on ethernet
[20:38:34] <djlewis> i like to think of it as the Beagles little heart beat :)
[20:39:51] <kblin> but shouldn't the kernel bring up the network?
[20:40:02] <ynezz> kblin: seems like it's not software problem, there's problem somewhere else
[20:41:25] <kblin> yeah, I guess the board is not working 100%
[20:41:47] <kblin> dammit, why can't video be broken? I couldn't care less about that

[22:27:02] <mru> arm is not i686
[22:27:25] <mru> I don't know how those systems differ
[22:27:57] <mru> maybe ubuntu doesn't have that file in /usr/lib
