  • [00:40:21] <Beagle_starter> I've just finished setting up the sd card to make angstrom run in mt beagle board
  • [00:40:50] <Beagle_starter> however, when I turned (beagleboard with the card) on
  • [00:41:03] <Beagle_starter> I get stuck with the message uncompressing linux

  • [00:50:09] <Beagle_starter> hi there
  • [00:50:29] <Beagle_starter> I am...but i'm afraid I can?t help a lot..
  • [00:51:04] <Animule> well... perhaps some insight as to whether or not my idea is totally outrageous or not could be helpful
  • [00:51:13] * djlewis is giving up on BB for a time and getting back to robot code. Gspca not up to date.
  • [00:51:22] <Animule> thinkin of putting a computer on a snowmobile
  • [00:51:32] <ds2> djlewis: get another camera. eventually one of them will work
  • [00:51:38] <Beagle_starter> to do what?

  • [00:52:13] <Beagle_starter> hmm, it's not impossible, but it's gonna take a considerable amount of work
  • [00:52:23] <Animule> doesn't every project :P
  • [00:52:27] <Beagle_starter> since u'll have to get everything to run under the arm
  • [00:52:34] <Animule> Most of it's data acquisition

  • [00:53:27] <Beagle_starter> It?s possible
  • [00:53:44] <Beagle_starter> I have installed a voip server in my beagleboard
  • [00:53:51] <Animule> because the thing is
  • [00:53:59] <Animule> when you put a turbo kit on
  • [00:54:02] <Beagle_starter> and used it to do local calls for "free" from my cell phone
  • [00:54:15] <Animule> you've got the controller for the turbo
  • [00:54:19] <Animule> and a separate temp display
  • [00:54:20] <Beagle_starter> yep
  • [00:54:25] <Animule> the two don't talk to each other
  • [00:54:42] <Animule> so you gotta watch, tune the boost controller based on what you see on the egt's
  • [00:54:52] <Animule> mash the two into one
  • [00:54:56] <Animule> closed loop system
  • [00:55:11] <Animule> and all the high horsepower goodness that comes with it
  • [00:55:26] <Beagle_starter> can't see why it wouldn't work lol
  • [00:56:02] <Beagle_starter> u could use software to do this
  • [00:56:15] <Beagle_starter> I assume u're familiar to programming
  • [00:56:33] * Animule is comfortable in LabVIEW and Linux
  • [00:56:49] <Animule> only thing I don't like about LV is the proc/RAM overhead and $$
  • [00:57:23] <Animule> sure does make UI and development easy though
  • [00:57:29] <Beagle_starter> hmm
  • [00:57:50] <Beagle_starter> ...
  • [00:58:02] <Beagle_starter> I don?t know but can u run labview in beagle?
  • [00:58:09] <Beagle_starter> I don?t think so...
  • [00:58:11] <Animule> damn you, king soopers, for having easter candy on sale :\
  • [00:58:21] <Animule> I don't see why not
  • [00:58:27] <Animule> don't think i'd wnat to develop on it
  • [00:58:47] <Beagle_starter> well...u'd have to emulate it usingo vmware....
  • [00:58:48] <Animule> but i would hope its capable of running an executable
  • [00:59:29] <djlewis> ds2: I tried to contact the angstrom gspca maintainers but have not heard anything back.
  • [00:59:33] <Beagle_starter> that is a thing I have no idea how to do

  • [01:00:17] <Beagle_starter> yep
  • [01:00:23] <Animule> this channel just replaced a stagnant one, so yeah, i'll be here a bit now :P
  • [01:00:44] <Beagle_starter> I want to build a cluster of beagleboards
  • [01:00:53] <Animule> oh that'd be cool
  • [01:01:02] <Animule> no way it couldn't be done
  • [01:01:06] <Beagle_starter> bad news are...no one has ever tried that
  • [01:01:07] <Beagle_starter> ....
  • [01:01:19] <Beagle_starter> so I'm stuck
  • [01:01:22] <Beagle_starter> just bought mine
  • [01:01:24] <Animule> you seen what NCSA does with tehir supcoeom
  • [01:01:31] <Animule> their supercomputer development?
  • [01:01:38] <Animule> (hard to type with a dog licking your elbow)
  • [01:01:39] <Beagle_starter> nope
  • [01:01:49] <Animule> they did a PS2 cluster a few years back
  • [01:01:54] <Beagle_starter> ah ok
  • [01:01:57] <Beagle_starter> I remember that
  • [01:02:03] <Beagle_starter> it was pretty cool
  • [01:02:18] <Beagle_starter> that was a groups here at my university that reproduced it
  • [01:02:46] <Beagle_starter> u r running angstrom in ur board?
  • [01:02:52] * Animule doesn't have one yet
  • [01:03:09] <Animule> just a thought i've been rolling around in my head as i'm driving down from the mountains
  • [01:03:10] <Beagle_starter> (hard to type when ur sleepy)
  • [01:03:28] <Beagle_starter> it's no bad thought
  • [01:03:29] <Beagle_starter> and

  • [01:03:42] <Animule> http://wildcat.homeunix.net/sled/20080830/DSC00034.jpg
  • [01:04:09] <Animule> put google earth on that, fed from NMEA data off gps
  • [01:04:16] <Animule> LabVIEW already has VI's to do that
  • [01:04:33] <Animule> obviously RPM/MPH/temp/time/odo/etc
  • [01:05:15] <Beagle_starter> sure....why are u stuck there ^^ start it
  • [01:05:41] <Beagle_starter> only question is...u'll do this alone?
  • [01:05:50] <Beagle_starter> may take some good months
  • [01:06:04] <Beagle_starter> r u an engineer?
  • [01:06:15] <Animule> Well, I know guys that are real good with sleds
  • [01:06:29] <Animule> one guy helps me a lot, used to do ice racing and snocross
  • [01:06:37] <ds2> Animule: you got google earth for Linux?
  • [01:06:45] <Animule> but he's not real strong with electronics
  • [01:07:02] <Animule> i'm good with electronics (electrical/test engineering), but don't know engines all that well
  • [01:07:10] <Beagle_starter> hmm
  • [01:07:25] <Beagle_starter> that would be my problem as well

  • [01:07:37] <Beagle_starter> I'm finishing computer engineering
  • [01:07:54] <ds2> Animule: it is doable as long as you can get the sw bits
  • [01:08:21] <Animule> Think i'll get a start on it this summer
  • [01:08:49] <Animule> tap into the lines to the ECU, collect some data on that
  • [01:09:02] <Beagle_starter> basically you'll make the devices exchange messages...if u forget about google earth beagle is even too much for that
  • [01:09:14] <Animule> have to beef up the electrical system on my sled, put a few current monitors on that
  • [01:09:21] <ds2> Look up ODB II

  • [01:10:46] <fenn> Animule: i suggest looking into microcontrollers or usb-based data acquisition thingies
  • [01:11:09] <Animule> Yeap, I use National Instruments DAQ's at work, USB bus-powered data acq
  • [01:11:37] <Animule> cheap too... the 6008s have 8 diff analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 12 DIO's

  • [01:15:36] <Guest29065> we are using kernel 2.6.29-rc5 or something like because this where we started at (and haven't yet wished to rebase)
  • [01:16:09] <ds2> nice story so far...
  • [01:16:09] * Circuitsoft (n=chatzill@64.244.192.226) has joined #beagle
  • [01:16:13] <Guest29065> we have been working in modifying the soc layer
  • [01:16:21] <ds2> modifying?!
  • [01:16:26] <Guest29065> to use our codec instead of the twl4030
  • [01:16:37] <Guest29065> "modifying"
  • [01:16:43] <Guest29065> not rewritting
  • [01:16:43] <ds2> You should just need to modify 1 file (the one with the beagle name in it)
  • [01:16:53] <Guest29065> ah??
  • [01:16:54] <ds2> not touching the whole layer
  • [01:16:56] <Guest29065> actually
  • [01:17:01] <Guest29065> yes
  • [01:17:04] <Guest29065> you're correct =)
  • [01:17:07] <Guest29065> but
  • [01:17:09] <Guest29065> for the moment
  • [01:17:09] <ds2> that file is to glue to tell the SoC layer what codec to associate with
  • [01:17:36] <Guest29065> we have decided to use the twl4030 as an skeleton since all communications already happen to it
  • [01:17:52] <ds2> right and that's a a good idea; did that myself before
  • [01:17:52] <Guest29065> "communications", aka calls
  • [01:18:05] <Guest29065> and wished to minimize risks
  • [01:18:05] <ds2> it has code to setup the almighty McBSPs
  • [01:18:10] <Guest29065> before doing what you say
  • [01:18:18] <Guest29065> exactly
  • [01:18:23] <Guest29065> we have managed to make i2c work
  • [01:18:33] <Guest29065> so we are able to control the audio codec
  • [01:18:44] <Guest29065> we are working now with the I2S part
  • [01:18:59] <fenn> ds2: what's HRT?
  • [01:19:08] <Animule> hormone replacement therapy?
  • [01:19:12] <Circuitsoft> Hello. I just finished installing Debian on my BeagleBoard. The splash image looked fine, but the console text isn't spitting out any red.
  • [01:19:32] <Circuitsoft> Any pointers to how that can be fixed?
  • [01:19:38] <Guest29065> and we are understanding it... we've so far read that there's a dma transfer involved to the I2S address
  • [01:19:40] <Circuitsoft> Will X11 have the same issues?
  • [01:20:11] <ds2> Hard Real Time
  • [01:20:11] <Guest29065> in twl4030's case it's towards McBSP 2
  • [01:20:27] <Guest29065> and we need to do it towards McBSP3
  • [01:20:30] <Guest29065> per the manual
  • [01:20:36] <ds2> the McBSP is specfied in the file with the Beagle in the name
  • [01:20:45] <Guest29065> we know
  • [01:20:54] <Guest29065> we have changed that from 1 to 2
  • [01:21:08] <ds2> Okay... let me know when you get to your question :D
  • [01:21:09] <Guest29065> (zero-based identifying)
  • [01:21:29] <Guest29065> we think we have configured the 2 or 3 clocks required
  • [01:21:33] <Guest29065> the bit clock
  • [01:21:35] <Guest29065> the word clock
  • [01:21:40] <Guest29065> and the L/R clock
  • [01:21:42] <Guest29065> is that correct?
  • [01:22:31] <Guest29065> one of the clocks was inappropriate for our hardware. so, that's why we did that (probably will triple check this tomorrow)
  • [01:22:44] <Guest29065> we haven't touched the dma configuration yet
  • [01:22:56] <Guest29065> we just trusted it to be automatic
  • [01:23:01] <Guest29065> but it seems it's hanging
  • [01:23:14] <Guest29065> so no buffers seem to be transferred
  • [01:23:38] <Guest29065> when the first buffer comes in, it just hangs there. the IRQ callback is not being called
  • [01:23:47] <Guest29065> and sincerely, we don't know why. =)
  • [01:23:57] <Guest29065> we are still trying to understand all the parts involved
  • [01:25:32] <Guest29065> but if you can answer some questions I have regarding how everything glues together, I'd be really grateful

  • [01:33:10] <Guest29065> thanks to a path provided by jarkko
  • [01:33:15] <Guest29065> *patch
  • [01:33:17] <Guest29065> =)
  • [01:33:19] <ds2> patch?
  • [01:33:23] <Guest29065> yes
  • [01:33:26] <ds2> as in kernel patch?
  • [01:33:33] <Guest29065> ummm, yes
  • [01:33:36] <ds2> try doing it in U-boot as an experiment
  • [01:33:37] <Guest29065> it's a quick patch
  • [01:33:47] <ds2> there been reports that the kernel pinmux config code is FOO bar
  • [01:33:50] <Guest29065> to set it up from there?
  • [01:33:59] <ds2> I been meaning to look at that but other things been keeping me busy
  • [01:33:59] <Guest29065> is that so?
  • [01:34:06] <Guest29065> um
  • [01:34:08] <ds2> yes, setup the pinmux from U-boot
  • [01:34:11] <Guest29065> interesting
  • [01:34:23] <Guest29065> could that make a difference?
  • [01:34:30] <ds2> the last I checked, almost a month ago, it didn't work...the last version I _PERSONALLY_ checked it was the 2.6.24 kernel
  • [01:34:42] <ds2> yes... bad pinmux == absolutely nothing seen on the outside world
  • [01:34:52] <ds2> the other way is to drop a LA on the clock pins and see if they wiggle
  • [01:34:54] <Guest29065> ok. but we received this patch directly from jarkko... since it wasn't in the main tree
  • [01:34:59] <ds2> for a master, they must wiggle
  • [01:35:30] <Guest29065> ds2, in what timezone are you?

  • [01:36:15] <ds2> ah
  • [01:36:27] <Guest29065> hahaha. me 2, but after we achieve this little experiment
  • [01:36:37] <Guest29065> we are learning before going out to the worl
  • [01:36:37] <Guest29065> d

  • [01:37:28] <ds2> fwiw, when I did that for the different codec, I ran into the pinmux issue
  • [01:37:35] <Guest29065> well, we have to eat somehow ;)
  • [01:37:58] <Guest29065> ok. then I'll check that first
  • [01:38:18] <Guest29065> what i'd like to do first is share with you jarkko's patch
  • [01:38:35] <Guest29065> and then move that down to u-boot
  • [01:38:45] <Guest29065> and double check everything
  • [01:39:10] <djlewis> Guest29065: which state? I'm in Arkansas.
  • [01:39:21] <Guest29065> because if the pinmux is not working from linux, that definitely could be doing a difference.
  • [01:39:34] <Guest29065> I'm in Nuevo Le??n, MX
  • [01:39:41] <ds2> while you are at it, fix the pinmux code
  • [01:39:44] <Guest29065> actually, my timezone is CST-old
  • [01:39:50] <ds2> contribute more to the community
  • [01:40:01] <fenn> Animule: it's time to check yourself into a clinic, dude
  • [01:40:07] <Guest29065> well, if you guide us a little bit with that, sure. why not?
  • [01:40:11] <djlewis> Oh.. just a bit farther than I anticipated :)
  • [01:40:25] <Guest29065> we are close to Tx. =)
  • [01:40:28] <ds2> like I said, I don't have time to track it down but it is on my todo list
  • [01:40:46] <Guest29065> then, sure. why not?
  • [01:40:46] <djlewis> I bet I'm the only BB user in Ar.
  • [01:41:17] <Guest29065> djlewis: maybe you just need to ask more around ;)
  • [01:41:32] <Guest29065> ds2: we can certainly help you with the pinmuxing
  • [01:42:07] <Guest29065> maybe it's already a work in progress with jarkko's patch. maybe you can help us put it in the level of quality you want or require
  • [01:42:10] <djlewis> I was thinking how long ago and far far away in a land long forgotten we once had user live usergroups.
  • [01:42:51] <Guest29065> djlewis: wow. like the linux user groups? or even older.
  • [01:42:58] <djlewis> Older.
  • [01:43:19] <djlewis> I was punnding on a terminal on my Altair 8800
  • [01:43:24] <djlewis> pounding
  • [01:43:48] <Guest29065> well, probably I'm not that old :S and mexico is a totally different story. :( not like the US
  • [01:44:43] <djlewis> Except for the Universitys I dont think there are any robotics folk around either.

  • [01:52:04] <djlewis> yep
  • [01:52:24] <ds2> @#%@#$@%@$%@#4~$3~@#$ it is not that hard
  • [01:52:37] <djlewis> funny dude..
  • [01:52:44] <ds2> I didn't have anyone to bounce ideas off of...just me, a big dent in the desk, and a logic analyzer
  • [01:53:14] <djlewis> my kingdom for a good logic analyzer
  • [01:53:54] <ds2> I'd settle for a WORKING LA...good is optional
  • [01:54:18] <ds2> but then for stuff like clocks, you can cheat and use an analog VOM
  • [01:54:26] <djlewis> I did a design in 2004 that went smooth hardware wise but the code stumped me for a time,.
  • [01:54:48] <ds2> coding is best done at 0400 the day before it is needed
  • [01:54:49] <djlewis> Now that is one slow clock pulse.
  • [01:55:00] <ds2> gives you a stronger impetus to get it working
  • [01:55:03] <djlewis> I am stronger in hdwre than code
  • [01:55:06] <ds2> slow??? eh?
  • [01:55:20] <ds2> you must not be familiar with the issues of a D'Arsonal movement ;)
  • [01:55:47] <djlewis> that big ol pointer can only move so fast.
  • [01:56:01] <ds2> again, I say... you must not be familiar with it
  • [01:56:24] <ds2> it is those issues that makes it superior to a DMM for ghetto debugging
  • [01:56:24] <djlewis> the faster the pulse the higher the reading?
  • [01:56:53] <ds2> sort of...it does an averaging of sorts so you can guestimate at a clock being present or not
  • [01:57:08] <ds2> due to the physical inertia, you have a good LPF
  • [01:57:39] <djlewis> I've had at least some semblense of an o-scope around since the early 70's
  • [01:58:08] <Animule> heh
  • [01:58:15] <Animule> "If you wait till the last minute, it'll only take a minute"
  • [01:58:32] <ds2> djlewis: some of us are not that endowed with fancy equipment
  • [01:58:58] <fenn> i dont think of an o-scope from the 70's as 'fancy equipment'
  • [01:59:04] <djlewis> sounds more like a personal prob...
  • [01:59:15] <ds2> depends on your budget
  • [01:59:31] <djlewis> you young'uns...
  • [02:00:02] <raster> koen: i fixed the exquisite fullscreen thing. it was an ecore-evas-fb bug with the method struct being filled in wrongly (fulscreen method was.. in the wrong spot). fixed in rev 40125

  • [02:08:58] <Circuitsoft> Anyone know anything about miscolored framebuffer consoles?
  • [02:09:17] <Circuitsoft> I have my beagleboard plugged into a Samsung 22" monitor.
  • [02:09:25] <Circuitsoft> The splash image looked fine, but the text does not.
  • [02:09:28] <Circuitsoft> Can
  • [02:09:30] <Circuitsoft> 't get any red.
  • [02:10:02] <djlewis> The Beagle was a white background?
  • [02:10:06] <Circuitsoft> yup
  • [02:10:19] <djlewis> So all three primaries are there at that point.
  • [02:10:25] <djlewis> Circuits good.
  • [02:10:36] <raster> yeah
  • [02:10:38] <raster> i noticed that too
  • [02:10:40] <Circuitsoft> Also, during boot there was an image at the top of the screen that said "BeagleBoard" while text was scrolling.
  • [02:10:48] <raster> fb console is cyan text
  • [02:10:49] <Circuitsoft> That image was also just fine.
  • [02:10:53] <Circuitsoft> yes.
  • [02:11:09] <Circuitsoft> However, linux seems to believe it is putting out white.
  • [02:11:14] <raster> but regula fb using apps display fine
  • [02:11:19] <raster> its something inside the kernels fbcon
  • [02:11:22] <Circuitsoft> Having played with a few ANSI control chars...
  • [02:11:24] <Circuitsoft> hmm.
  • [02:11:25] <Circuitsoft> ok
  • [02:11:28] <raster> its not a big thing
  • [02:11:34] <raster> simply kernel console text is wrong
  • [02:11:37] <Circuitsoft> ok
  • [02:11:39] <raster> does it matter?
  • [02:11:48] <Circuitsoft> links2 in debian seems to only support directfb, not fbcon.
  • [02:11:49] <raster> fb apps display fine
  • [02:11:55] <raster> as they get the screenpixel format right
  • [02:11:57] <Circuitsoft> And directfb doesn't currently like me.
  • [02:12:00] <raster> kernel fb console doesnt it seems
  • [02:12:15] <Circuitsoft> ok
  • [02:12:20] <raster> just run x
  • [02:12:44] <Circuitsoft> Still trying to figure out how to install X without pulling in heavyweight gnome at the same time.
  • [02:13:04] <raster> ?
  • [02:13:08] <raster> wtf?
  • [02:13:12] <raster> wghat has gnome to do with x?
  • [02:13:16] <djlewis> I boot to Angstrom and it looks like a good linux box should.
  • [02:13:34] <Circuitsoft> I'm using Debian Lenny, not Angstrom.
  • [02:13:58] <Circuitsoft> I just happen to like gdm as opposed to xdm.
  • [02:14:05] <Circuitsoft> And now, it seems to be working.
  • [02:14:12] <raster> oooh debian
  • [02:14:17] <raster> well thats raltively fat
  • [02:14:20] <Circuitsoft> (wonder why aptitude tried to pull in gnome before)
  • [02:14:25] <Circuitsoft> I have a 16G SD card.
  • [02:14:29] <raster> and gdm reauires gnome components/libs
  • [02:14:31] <raster> so if u like gdm
  • [02:14:32] <raster> too bnad
  • [02:14:36] <raster> u get to suck in gnome
  • [02:14:41] <raster> change your likes
  • [02:14:43] <raster> :)
  • [02:15:01] <Circuitsoft> A few, but it shouldn't require gnome-panel, etc.
  • [02:15:07] <Circuitsoft> Basically, I want xfce.
  • [02:15:14] <raster> thats just how debina packaged it up
  • [02:15:33] <raster> unless you are willing to live with the insall
  • [02:15:36] <raster> whihc u apparently are
  • [02:15:51] <raster> you use debian - so you have already accepted a fat distro install.
  • [02:15:53] <raster> just live with it
  • [02:15:58] <Circuitsoft> Well, it didn't select everything under the sun this time.
  • [02:16:04] <Circuitsoft> Seems to be working nicely.
  • [02:16:12] <Circuitsoft> Generally, my other option is Gentoo.

  • [02:20:14] <raster> aaah ok
  • [02:20:21] <raster> so you're basically doing another touchbook
  • [02:20:27] <Circuitsoft> I need to find the pinout of the original battery, I need to build a custom keyboard controller, I need to build a ps/2 interface for the mouse, etc.
  • [02:20:28] <djlewis> hmmm, may the force be with you
  • [02:20:49] <Circuitsoft> I need to add an RTC...
  • [02:20:58] <Circuitsoft> Or figure out how to use the one on the beagle
  • [02:21:14] <djlewis> beagles does not have one.
  • [02:21:22] <Circuitsoft> I expect one or two chips dedicated to just the display adapter.
  • [02:21:52] <Circuitsoft> I'll put a small micro in to connect to the keyboard and touchpad and hang off the i2c bus.
  • [02:21:52] <teamy> i see all this talk about s-video and the beagleboard, but does it actually work?
  • [02:22:03] <djlewis> you might just use a LCD with HDMI input and fit it in.
  • [02:22:05] <geckosenator> or is it all just talk?
  • [02:22:07] <Circuitsoft> Then I'll need to build a power supply for the unit.
  • [02:22:23] <Circuitsoft> djlewis: It's a 7" screen.
  • [02:22:30] <Circuitsoft> I doubt I'll find a 7" HDMI LCD
  • [02:22:36] <geckosenator> I have a 4" one
  • [02:22:36] * raster is boggled at the idea that someone still have video equipment that does svhs in... that someone WANTS to look at
  • [02:22:41] <djlewis> sure would simplyfy things.
  • [02:23:01] <teamy> geckosenator: can you give a link to the 4"
  • [02:23:20] <Circuitsoft> And I'm already planning on removing several things from the beagleboard to make it thin enough to fit in the shell.
  • [02:23:21] <geckosenator> actuall it works for 7" too
  • [02:23:25] <geckosenator> but I broke my 7"

  • [02:24:30] <teamy> geckosenator: is there one i can buy, or can i buy urs? I need it by Tuesday
  • [02:24:38] <teamy> haha
  • [02:24:44] <geckosenator> how much $$ are you willing to pay?
  • [02:24:57] <Circuitsoft> My LCD takes lvds, so I'll need more than just the tfp401a
  • [02:25:12] <geckosenator> Circuitsoft: there is another chip you can hook up
  • [02:25:15] <teamy> how much is it worth? its for a school project so i can't go to overboard
  • [02:25:40] <Circuitsoft> I know. I planned on starting with the tfp401a and feeding that into an lvds transmitter.
  • [02:25:49] <geckosenator> that would work
  • [02:25:53] <Circuitsoft> The original motherboard had a Via C7 and VX700 chipset.
  • [02:26:03] <geckosenator> but the issue I have is it consumes too much power
  • [02:26:09] <Circuitsoft> Since I can't find any DVI-LVDS translators...
  • [02:26:26] <geckosenator> it's best to not use dvi at all

  • [02:26:50] <Circuitsoft> Backlight is 1/2 watt

  • [04:16:03] <djlewis> Circuitsoft: you still here?
  • [04:16:10] <Circuitsoft> yup
  • [04:16:17] <djlewis> I found your data sheet
  • [04:16:26] <Circuitsoft> Wow!
  • [04:16:29] <Circuitsoft> Where?!?!
  • [04:17:06] <djlewis> shortcut to dnld button. http://widget.mibbit.com/url/Np3OWx
  • [04:17:29] <djlewis> let me know if the link works. I already dnld'd it .
  • [04:17:49] <ds2> is this one of those datasheet ad pusher sites?
  • [04:18:01] <djlewis> nope.
  • [04:18:34] <djlewis> previous page: http://widget.mibbit.com/url/7IcZVO
  • [04:18:46] <djlewis> Has lots of LCD data sheets
  • [04:18:55] <ds2> has anyone tried molding silicone to make things like button caps?
  • [04:19:09] <Circuitsoft> I'll see, but your link was to the wrong datasheet.
  • [04:19:20] <Circuitsoft> My display is 800x480 - yours is 854x4840
  • [04:19:27] <Circuitsoft> *854x480
  • [04:19:56] <Circuitsoft> Mine is TD070WGEC3 yours id TD070WGCB2
  • [04:20:04] <djlewis> I see off a letter or two. mayby the plug is same?
  • [04:20:19] <Circuitsoft> May be, but resolution is different too.
  • [04:20:50] <djlewis> I searched for the first part, TD070WG, you might research, not the google searchj.
  • [04:21:07] <Circuitsoft> No, plug is not the same.
  • [04:21:15] <Circuitsoft> The few pins I've surmised myself don't match.
  • [04:22:19] <djlewis> bummer.
  • [04:23:01] <Circuitsoft> The receiver chip on it is a THine THC63LVDF64A
  • [04:23:23] <Circuitsoft> I've found the datasheet for that and can trace the pcb lines from it to the plug.
  • [04:23:43] <Circuitsoft> The issue is that it only has "channel 1, channel 2" etc, not red, green, blue, etc.
  • [04:23:52] <ds2> is that a LVDS or Parallel LCD?
  • [04:24:29] <Circuitsoft> lvds
  • [04:24:29] <Circuitsoft> Well, seems to be a parallel lcd with a control board on the back with an lvds receiver.
  • [04:24:40] <ds2> ah
  • [04:25:03] <ds2> why not just use it as a LVDS LCD and add a LVDS xmitter on the beagle side?
  • [04:25:14] <Circuitsoft> The other problems involve interfacing to the backlight "inverter"
  • [04:25:24] <Circuitsoft> That's the intent.
  • [04:25:38] <Circuitsoft> I just need to find a compatible lvds xmitter.
  • [04:25:46] <ds2> I see
  • [04:25:52] <Circuitsoft> And the pinout of the display.
  • [04:26:09] <ds2> inverter powered LCDs are annoying but all so popular :(
  • [04:26:41] <ds2> if you got far enough to identify if is a color or a clock signal, then it should be easy enough to figure out later
  • [04:26:54] <ds2> just write a quick FB program to set the FB to all red and look at the LCD
  • [04:27:15] <Circuitsoft> The computer it came from is dead.
  • [04:27:23] <ds2> no, I mean on the beagle
  • [04:27:44] <ds2> the RGB signals are interchangeable...generate known good signals on thebeagle and see if it looks right
  • [04:28:04] <Circuitsoft> Oh, have it be an all red framebuffer and move lines around until the display shows all red?
  • [04:28:06] <Circuitsoft> Then there's the matter of finding the proper display timings...
  • [04:28:14] <ds2> yep
  • [04:28:18] <Circuitsoft> The laptop only ever worked right with vesa drivers.
  • [04:28:21] <ds2> or just write it up with a guess
  • [04:28:37] <Circuitsoft> The via drivers used the wrong timings and the openchrome drivers needed to use FBModes to work.
  • [04:28:42] <ds2> then drive it all red in software...if it turns all green then you must ahve the red wired to green
  • [04:28:49] <ds2> no, do this on the beagle
  • [04:28:53] <ds2> not with the PC
  • [04:28:58] <Circuitsoft> Step 1 - find the power pins.
  • [04:29:06] <Circuitsoft> I know.
  • [04:29:14] <ds2> right, it assumes you know power/clocks/color/inverter pins
  • [04:29:35] <Circuitsoft> What happens if I get the phase wrong on the LVDS lines?
  • [04:29:36] <ds2> with LVDS, they should be on seperate balanced pairs
  • [04:29:55] <ds2> I think it would appear as an inversion
  • [04:30:02] <Circuitsoft> ok
  • [04:30:05] <ds2> for clocks, it may prevent it from working
  • [04:30:12] <ds2> for color, it would most likely look funny
  • [04:38:11] <Circuitsoft> Are there any patterns I could display on the screen that might make a tiny bit of sense as a clock on one or two channels?
  • [04:38:48] <Circuitsoft> In other words, could I display a pattern that would look wrong, but look like something with the clock lines hooked up wrong and look okay with them on correctly?
  • [04:42:18] <djlewis> I still think a lot could be gleaned from the one datasheet that turned up.
  • [04:42:44] <djlewis> It claims to be a 7" even though it has the higher pixel count.
  • [04:46:00] <djlewis> part numbers are so close might be more similar that it first appears?
  • [04:47:49] <ds2> no clock == no display

  • [06:13:28] <raster> nothing happens
  • [06:13:34] <sakoman> strange!1
  • [06:13:38] <raster> but with the oe kernel. it works just fine
  • [06:13:46] <raster> kernel doesnt say a thing (dmesg-wise)
  • [06:13:52] <sakoman> does it see them if you boot with them connected?
  • [06:13:52] <raster> doesnt recognise the usb device added at all
  • [06:14:01] <raster> hmm
  • [06:14:10] <raster> i didnt check that (as i lose my input on my desktop)
  • [06:15:04] <sakoman> very strange!
  • [06:15:15] <raster> but if u can find a way of getting the wifi "upsteram" - that;'d be awesome!
  • [06:15:32] <raster> (less for you to maintain too)

  • [06:29:25] <raster> well thats the problem here
  • [06:29:33] <raster> what on earht is the thing that ticks it off
  • [06:29:53] <sakoman> perhaps some module incompatibility??
  • [06:31:19] <raster> well.. modules definitely are incompatible
  • [06:31:26] <raster> different kernels
  • [06:31:29] <raster> maybe that sit
  • [06:31:52] <sakoman> could be slightly different kernel revs
  • [06:32:00] <raster> almost certainly
  • [06:32:03] <raster> gmm
  • [06:32:05] <sakoman> though I can't imagine what would trigger that!~
  • [06:32:12] <raster> but there are no modules for input devices on usb
  • [06:32:28] <raster> sure - serial, ethernet, storage...
  • [06:32:29] <raster> yup
  • [06:32:38] <raster> audio modules
  • [06:32:47] <raster> but input is in-kernel
  • [06:33:22] <sakoman> let me check and make sure that is the case for my kernel
  • [06:35:38] <koen> raster: that splash commit broke for people not having SPLASH set, since OE will expand ${EMPTYVAR} to '${EMPTYVAR}'
  • [06:35:47] <koen> raster: easily fixed :)
  • [06:38:58] <raster> koen: i fixed all the image.bb's i thought used angstrom
  • [06:39:39] <sakoman> raser: the USB HID sections for koen's and my defconfigs are the same
  • [06:40:20] <sakoman> though he has usb debug set and I don't
  • [06:41:16] <raster> sakoman: hmmm
  • [06:41:20] <sakoman> so it is still a mystery to me
  • [06:41:40] <koen> maybe it got fixed during the -rc series
  • [06:42:38] <raster> koen: so how do i fix it properly?
  • [06:42:43] <raster> i tried...
  • [06:42:43] <sakoman> raster: ah, just noticed you are using rc7
  • [06:42:47] <raster> (the splash thing)
  • [06:43:01] <raster> sakoman: well.. that was one of your kernels....
  • [06:43:26] <sakoman> one gets built every day :-)
  • [06:43:40] <sakoman> sometimes they might have issues
  • [06:43:44] <koen> raster: I just fixed it
  • [06:43:44] <raster> i can try your latest
  • [06:43:52] <koen> raster: it's only an issue for non angstrom distros
  • [06:44:00] <sakoman> that would be a better place for us to start
  • [06:44:10] <koen> raster: or distros that copies angstrom configs, but not your splash var
  • [06:44:17] <raster> koen: hmm well the ones i changes referred to ansgtrom base tasks/packages etc.
  • [06:44:21] <sakoman> though it is time for sleep now . . .
  • [06:44:47] <raster> so since i dont actually know what distro is "set" when building those images.. i can only assume they are intended to be build with angstrom?
  • [06:45:06] <sakoman> I'll check back in the morning. let me know if the current kernel has the same issue
  • [06:45:23] <raster> sakoman: k will do

  • [06:47:21] <ds2> complains being requested?
  • [06:47:30] <raster> but i did fix it all and tested builds and ran them
  • [06:47:31] <koen> I build console-image and beagle-demo image most of the time
  • [06:47:52] <raster> ok
  • [06:48:01] <raster> i guessed beagle-demo
  • [06:48:04] <raster> console too
  • [06:48:10] <raster> and that... doesnt need a splash
  • [06:48:54] <raster> sakoman: ok. same problem with latest http://www.sakoman.com/feeds/omap3/glibc/images/overo/200904161145/ uimage
  • [06:49:03] <raster> so.. at least its consistent
  • [06:49:03] <raster> :)
  • [06:49:58] <raster> hmm

  • [06:52:07] <koen> event0 and 1 might be buttons
  • [06:52:08] <AV500> koen: enabling L2 cache from Linux did not work for you right?
  • [06:52:12] <AV500> gm btw
  • [06:52:50] <raster> koen: doesnt much matter as mouse doesnt work either
  • [06:52:59] <raster> and icant check esily.. as i lost my kbd/mouse

  • [06:53:06] <raster> :)
  • [06:53:11] <raster> (where it then doesnt recognise them)
  • [06:53:15] <koen> AV500: I don't remember the details, but iirc the trick was to have uboot leave it on and have the kernel not disable it
  • [06:53:17] <raster> koen: oe upsteram kernels work just fine
  • [06:53:35] <raster> what i dont know is.. what is it about the change in kernel that makes userspace not see/use/ the use devices?
  • [06:53:57] <AV500> koen: yes, it seems that older ES could do it, but not newer ones, code that runs in es2.0 hangs in 3.x

  • [12:26:38] <anzip> Hi, I just caught my Rev C2 board and my serial console shows text, but I can't write anything. Is this a common problem also with rev C2 boards?
  • [12:27:51] <koen> check your flow settings
  • [12:28:53] <anzip> They should be alright. 115200, 8,1 No parity, no flow control.

  • [12:30:22] <Crofton> anzip, do you have the proper cable?
  • [12:32:51] <anzip> It should be OK, I haven't yet verified it yet with another system. Putting the cable another way around worked exactly the same (can see text, cannot write), so it should be a proper cross cable. Board to serial adapter I measured, and it was alright
  • [12:33:39] <adj> i just 5 mins ago found a null modem cable which seemed to be okay but the symptoms were similar with yours
  • [12:34:02] <adj> text came from beagle to pc but not from pc to beagle

  • [13:33:55] <teamy> how quick is beagleboard on RMA requests?
  • [13:34:10] <jkridner|work> teamy: depends on where you live.
  • [13:34:18] <AV500> depends on how much volts you applied
  • [13:34:27] <jkridner|work> that too!
  • [13:34:45] <AV500> 220 makes it fast!
  • [13:34:58] <teamy> i don't think the board it fried, the HDMI out isn't working

  • [13:35:08] <teamy> but it appears as though the board it running fine
  • [13:35:12] <jkridner|work> how are you testing it?
  • [13:35:27] <jkridner|work> configuring the timing on the HDMI is currently very tricky.
  • [13:35:55] <jkridner|work> no one has written software that utilizes the EDID and right PLL settings to make it automatically work without manual configuration.
  • [13:36:01] <jkridner|work> (at least not that I'm aware of)
  • [13:36:12] <s0likka> err, does HDMI even work on beagleboard?
  • [13:36:20] <adj> yes it does
  • [13:36:50] <s0likka> neat
  • [13:36:59] <adj> if "working" can be defined as a visible picture on dvi monitor :)
  • [13:37:09] <teamy> when viewing the BB through the terminal it appears to boot up as normal
  • [13:37:09] <teamy> but no video out...
  • [13:37:55] <adj> do you have any software which sends something to the hdmi?

  • [13:38:46] <teamy> i am running angstrom on it, or the startup splash screen and both were previously working
  • [13:39:03] <AV500> so HDMI stopped working?
  • [13:39:03] <teamy> and i tested another BB with the same setup and it worked fine
  • [13:39:07] <teamy> exactly
  • [13:39:22] <AV500> ok, then I guess it broke
  • [13:39:38] <AV500> give jkridner your address so he can pick it up and replace it
  • [13:40:40] <teamy> can it be done today? haha this is actually for a project that is due on Tuesday so i am getting 2 rush shipped from digikey
  • [13:41:07] <jkridner|work> what are you trying to do to me!
  • [13:41:37] <jkridner|work> teamy: so, splash screen used to work, but doesn't any longer?
  • [13:42:00] <teamy> no, it just quit yesterday
  • [13:42:43] <teamy> but the monitor does notice when it turns on because the indicator lights turns from orange to green, but then back to orange
  • [13:43:25] <jkridner|work> did you already file for the RMA?
  • [13:43:57] <teamy> not yet, i tried with digikey but they told me they didn't take returns on it

  • [16:22:19] <bavison> Hi, I've been following the instructions on http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian but I can't work out how to change my xorg.conf to enable resolutions other than 640x480. Can anyone help?
  • [16:23:28] <koen> changing xorg.conf won't work
  • [16:23:36] <koen> you need to change bootargs in uboot
  • [16:23:51] <koen> provided your debian kernel has proper display drivers
  • [16:25:02] <bavison> I see - the reason why I was fiddling with xorg.conf is that changing the video= option in bootargs wasn't having any effect - X only ever seems to come up in 640x480

  • [21:19:57] <mib_l4p9l6> no...I have a ext3 and fat32 partitions on my sdcard....I was trying to remove them so I could increase the space that windows would see (essentially remove the ext3 partition and make it all fat32)
  • [21:19:57] <as_leep> dd i=/dev/zero o=/dev/somethingyouwanttoblat bs=1M count=10

  • [21:20:51] <as_leep> I'm not sure if a windows formatted card has a partition table.
  • [21:21:17] <as_leep> When you say windows would see, did it see the fat32 partition?
  • [21:21:31] <mib_l4p9l6> yup
  • [21:21:46] <as_leep> That is odd, you sure you have an ext partition as well?
  • [21:21:59] <mib_l4p9l6> it cannot see ext3 however, hence the reason I need to delete it
  • [21:22:10] <mib_l4p9l6> positive
  • [21:22:27] <as_leep> I was using a card with fat32 and ext3 and XP would not even show the fat32 partition.
  • [21:22:34] <mib_l4p9l6> I have 64MB fat32 and rest is ext3 (my sdcard is 2GB)
  • [21:22:48] <as_leep> Some sort of restriction on removable media not having multiple partitions.
  • [21:23:54] <as_leep> What windows are you running and did you modify the drivers at all?
  • [21:24:14] <as_leep> USB SD reader?
  • [21:24:40] <mib_l4p9l6> maybe you didnt format it correctly as fat32? I used ??? sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/sdd1
  • [21:25:03] <mib_l4p9l6> some cheap card reader called "vantec"

  • [21:27:32] <mib_l4p9l6> So when I plugit into XP it sees only 64 MB although I very well know my card is a 2GB
  • [21:27:58] <mib_l4p9l6> sorry...I dont understand what that command does....trying to read the man page on it now.
  • [21:28:17] <as_leep> Its just copies raw data from one device to another.
  • [21:28:50] <as_leep> So if you do it between hard disks you get an identicle copy, every byte on the media.
  • [21:29:27] <as_leep> Or you can overwrite important structures with zeros, or random data.
  • [21:29:46] <as_leep> Checked your card doesn't have write protect enabled btw?

  • [21:30:17] <mib_l4p9l6> well...I dont see how that will help me...I need to use my sdcard to be used on a winmobile device....so need to somehow figure out how to remove the ext3 part or else my data will not fit in to 64MB.
  • [21:30:31] <mib_l4p9l6> yeah...first thing I checked was that
  • [21:31:16] <as_leep> The existance of the partitions is the first thing on the media, if you write that your partition table goes away.
  • [21:32:01] <mib_l4p9l6> oh...I see what you mean...I will try that...thanks
  • [21:32:29] <as_leep> Dont dd to the partition remeber, do it to the raw media.
  • [21:33:28] <mib_l4p9l6> thanks...need to run..will try in a bit later.
  • [21:33:33] <djlewis> Since he is talking XP why not use the Windows tool mentioned in the Howto's to setup the card?
  • [21:34:11] <as_leep> That could work, the tool doesn't work with my reader.
  • [21:34:41] <mib_l4p9l6> I havent seen any windows tools....that would be great if I can get such a windows tool to remove a linux partition....can you please forward....I'm a linux newbie.
  • [21:35:04] <as_leep> Its in the beagle manual I think.

  • [21:36:36] <solar> some time ago there was a driver for windows to be able to mount and work with ext2
  • [21:39:13] <as_leep> If you can get windows to reconise the partitions then ext2/3 isn't a problem.
  • [21:39:51] <as_leep> The issue I hit was that windows refuses to deal with removable media with more than one partition.

  • [21:42:20] <geckosenator> that's funny

  • [21:43:05] * cbrake is now known as cbrake_away
  • [21:44:20] <as_leep> I found a lot of hacks for the problem, most of which seem to involve making windows think the SD card is actually a hitachi USB hard disk, then windows happily deals with partitions.
  • [21:44:41] <as_leep> Unfortunatly, my SD reader isn't USB so that method fails miserably with my system.
  • [21:45:06] <ds2> eh?
  • [21:45:12] * ZeZu (n=null@98.227.56.17) Quit ()
  • [21:45:21] <ds2> windows should do okay with an internal reader for multipartitioned SD cards
  • [21:46:06] <djlewis> I may have to plug my usb reader into a winders box and see.
  • [21:47:23] <as_leep> It isn't with my reader, it seems to be the removable media driver thats the issue and not the SD reader driver.
  • [21:47:38] <ds2> the other thing to look for is that HP tool
  • [21:47:43] <ds2> it may be able to do a full wipe
  • [21:47:54] <as_leep> Which also only works on USB readers.
  • [21:48:09] <as_leep> Might work for him, but he's left already.
  • [21:49:00] <as_leep> I tried reformatting mine with windows and u-boot won't even touch the SD now.
  • [21:49:16] <as_leep> Though X-Loader will happly load u-boot off it.
  • [21:49:25] <Ragha> i have this questions, does u-boot supports DNS?
  • [21:50:10] <as_leep> Lacking an internal ethernet port, shouldn't have thought so.

  • [21:52:14] <as_leep> What do you want to do to it with u-boot?
  • [21:52:17] <ds2> but more critically, using U-boot on the beagle with DNS can be a little bit of a challenge unless you just happen to be one of the many that are adeveloping a network connection for U-boot on the beagle
  • [21:53:24] <as_leep> u-boot is only the bootloader.
  • [21:54:08] <Ragha> okie, will use MMC for FS
