Good evening! A newbie question, please.
- [02:20:35] <nwp>
Are there working Beagle projects that use the DSP core for anything other than media codecs?
- [02:21:02] <nwp>
I am curious to see how much the DSP side of the chip is being used by the community.

nwp, I don't think the media codecs use it yet.

- [02:30:32] <as_leep>
Last I remeber I think they were being NEON optimised until better DSP tools came out.
- [02:33:49] <nwp>
as_leep, interesting! Looking at some amateur Software Defined Radio (SDR) projects, which take two audio inputs, the signal processing parts seem to be do-able in 100-200 Pentium MIPS.
- [02:34:44] <nwp>
So the ARM side of the OMAP processor on Beagleboard should handle this quite well. But I'm thinking the DSP side would do even better, and allow higher bandwidths.
- [02:36:13] <as_leep>
People have not been complimentary about the quality of the audio on the board.
- [02:37:42] <as_leep>
I've not tried it yet, alas I need some sleep, it's past 3am here. I'll look back to see if anyone else had anything to say about the DSP as I'm curious myself.
- [02:37:46] <as_leep>
Gnite.
- [02:38:16] <nwp>
Ah, good night.
- [02:38:33] <nwp>
And thanks for the advice.
- [02:38:48] <as_leep>
btw, for SDR the audio bandwidth is almost certainly limiting.
- [02:39:11] <as_leep>
Followed by the heterodyne radio stage.
- [02:41:18] <nwp>
Google on "amateur SDR" ... Most amateur projects use a simple quadrature mixer to go from RF directly to 0-20 KHz, 2 channels, then use PC sound cards to digitize.
- [02:41:31] <muriani>
it's possible that a higher-quality USB audio card would assist?
- [02:42:15] <nwp>
the IF frequency is about 12 KHz. It's a neat trick that limits the bandwidth of the DSP chain, which is okay for ham radio (voice and CW) signals.
- [02:42:26] <muriani>
my Creative Extigy is being used on my embedded PPC system, alsa supports it quire well.
- [02:42:55] <muriani>
I'd think any similarly supported quality component would help
- [02:44:01] <nwp>
There are some "audio" interfaces out there that will digitize more than 100 KHz bandwidth. This translates to 100 KHz radio bandwidth due to 2 input channels in quadrature phase.
- [02:44:48] <nwp>
Beyond that there are the GnuRadio USRP-style input stages, A/D at 60 to 100 MSPS, then digital downconverter to reasonable baseband bandwidths.
- [02:45:29] <nwp>
The trouble with the USRP approach is that all the front end hardware costs $700 and up. (Euro 600+ ?)
- [02:46:49] <nwp>
I'm thinking that Beagleboard plus some "compromise" front end could make a complete general-coverage receiver for perhaps $300 total.

sounds cool nwp :)
- [02:48:33] <nwp>
It would be a pretty ambitious project. I notice two profs at the US Naval Academy are trying this. More power to them!
- [02:53:55] <nwp>

- [04:49:52] <bobkatzz>
they may be mutually exclusive :(
- [04:50:24] <bobkatzz>
LiraNuna -- sorry can't answer your question - maybe someone else can
- [04:50:54] <LiraNuna>
I know omap3 has PowerVR SGX, but is it being used?
- [04:51:18] <muriani>
yes
- [04:51:25] <LiraNuna>
GPL drivers?
- [04:51:46] <muriani>
that I'm not sure on, I believe it's a blob?
- [04:52:05] <bobkatzz>
muriani do you know if there an X11 desktop for Angstrom or is it strictly command line?
- [04:52:14] <muriani>
there's x11
- [04:52:21] <bobkatzz>
kewl
- [04:52:32] <muriani>
most seem to use xfce4 or e17 as the window manager
- [04:52:50] <bobkatzz>
ok
- [04:52:51] <muriani>
e17's wonderfully light, and pretty as well
- [04:53:31] <muriani>
but I'm not sure if there are precompiled binaries of e17. You may have to compile from svn
- [04:53:32] <bobkatzz>
I did an lxde build of Ubuntu but koen says that fldigi will "run like ass" on it
- [04:53:43] <bobkatzz>
as in "smell like . . ." hehe
- [04:53:46] <muriani>
fldigi?
- [04:54:02] <muriani>
I'm not familiar with that, is it the WM lxde uses?
- [04:54:22] <bobkatzz>
yeah it's one of the SDR programs that supports my transceiver
- [04:54:29] <muriani>
ooh
- [04:54:59] <bobkatzz>
http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html
- [04:55:04] <muriani>
yeah, if all else fails, maybe something like fluxbox would be best
- [04:55:11] <muriani>
something incredibly minimal
- [04:55:27] <bobkatzz>
http://www.w1hkj.com/images/Ubuntu-3.1.jpg
- [04:56:06] <bobkatzz>
yeah lxde is really nice and lite but I couldn't get my ehternet to work with it (yet)
- [04:56:38] <muriani>
lxde shouldn't preclude the ethernet from running, it's just a desktop environment
- [04:56:48] <bobkatzz>
so I'm going back to Angstrom to get some experience with the ethernet settings and then try again
- [04:57:14] <muriani>
I'm really tempted to get a beagle long before I should afford one
- [04:57:26] <bobkatzz>
well it's the Ubuntu then (and my gross lack of knowledge on the subject )
- [04:57:40] <muriani>
that's possible
- [04:57:46] <bobkatzz>
you can try Gumstix too they are related
- [04:58:08] <bobkatzz>
I don't know how much cheaper they are
- [04:58:13] <muriani>
yeah, but if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna get the beagle.
- [04:58:40] <muriani>
it's really just the best bang for the buck, I think
- [04:59:16] <muriani>
so, that text there, I assume that's auto-decoded cw?
- [04:59:40] <bobkatzz>
also I couldn't get the screen setting in lxde to change and all my controls ended up off the bottom of the screen - that was not helpful
- [04:59:47] <muriani>
ew yeha
- [05:01:26] <bobkatzz>
no it's BPSK31 - if you look in the lower left below the "waterfall" you will see the mode displayed there
- [05:02:03] <muriani>
I really know nothing about such things so far
- [05:02:10] <bobkatzz>
PSK31 is really just CW at about 330 baud
- [05:02:19] <muriani>
ah, hehe
- [05:02:34] <muriani>
I've hardly even had time to study for my technician's license
- [05:02:34] <bobkatzz>
then there's PSK68 (I believe) that's faster
- [05:03:03] <muriani>
new job's quite busy.
- [05:03:08] <bobkatzz>
then there's Hellschreiber ooooooooooooo - voodoo!

hi everybody

I'm using Angstorm on a 2.6.28 kernel and would like to change the psplash picture
- [09:42:57] <maxired>
does anybody had ever done this ?
- [09:45:40] <florian>
maxired: yes this isn't that complicated. look for the examples in the recipes/psplash directory
- [09:49:51] <maxired>
florian : could you be more explicit ? do I need to recompile psplash ?
- [09:50:18] <florian>
maxired: yes, the logo is compiled in

right now, board is being powered by the usb connector, can it also be attached an input device (usb hub) ?
- [10:01:47] <koen>
florian: the logo is now managed with update-alternatives, so adding a new psplash-mylogo recipe is all that's needed
- [10:02:05] <koen>
florian: that avoid patching psplash_svn with a gazillion overrides
- [10:02:21] <mru>
zumbi: if your hub violates spec and supplies power to the host, yes
- [10:04:29] <florian>
zumbi: you can this if you have a usb hub that powers the uplink port as well. i guess that violates the specs but some cheap mini-hubs do this
- [10:05:25] <florian>
koen: yes... but I guess maxired was searching for a way to do this without compiling
- [10:06:09] <SplasH>
Is it possible to use the beagleboard as an i2c-slave?
- [10:06:27] <zumbi>
but my hub has different connector (standard one, i do not recall the exact name) and OTG has one of those mini conectors.. this is a bit confusing

it boots ok from there so I don't need MMC for booting any longer

Cool.

I suspect there is an IO line that is broken by removing a card.
- [12:18:45] <topi_>
nope, i just mount jffs2 root from flash
- [12:20:08] <topi_>
maybe the kernel is just buggy. i'm using 2.6.28 kernel compiled by koen
- [12:20:10] <ali_as>
Best to chec the schematic.
- [12:20:38] <ali_as>
Its the sort of thing that would go unnoticed as most people have the rootfs on SD card.
- [12:20:58] <topi_>
I just bought a 16GB SD card and am anxious to see if it works with beagle or not
- [12:21:48] <ali_as>
I had a few errors with my sdhc 4G card. That was with the february release.
- [12:22:10] <ali_as>
Those glitches may have been fixed by now.
- [12:26:40] <ali_as>
Are you booting the kernel off sd?
- [12:27:00] <topi_>
no, the kernel comes from the NAND
- [12:27:27] <ali_as>
Any reason you need to swap in order to access the card then?
- [12:27:41] <topi_>
i also bought a hdmi->dvi adapter but d'oh, it was of wrong gender! i hate this.

connect DVI output to HDMI input

I have a side question, not strictly related to the beagle.
- [13:26:04] <topi_>
shoot
- [13:26:15] <muriani>
sorry, that's not allowed :p

I have always planned to put a 20x4 char serial lcd on my beagle.
- [13:26:37] <AV500>
ah, those were the times
- [13:26:50] <topi_>
what for? showing uptimes? :)
- [13:27:42] <Kithera>
But, recently I was reading about Steve Roberts, and his bikes from the 80's http://microship.com/bike/behemoth/index.html
- [13:28:05] <Kithera>
@topi_ mostly, and mpd info, and home automation status
- [13:28:53] <Kithera>
And I was wondering if there are any options I have for a "large" text display, could be strictly on serial.
- [13:29:19] <AV500>
4x20 is large?
- [13:29:19] <Kithera>
by large, I mean > 8" with a 40x24 char display or better
- [13:30:07] <AV500>
IBM selectric?
- [13:30:30] <Kithera>
and (B), If I got such a display (and assuming I'm quite happy stuck to a linux command line) would it be comprible in terms of price and power.

- [14:40:04] <koen>
ls: cannot access /dev/root: No such file or directory
- [14:40:09] <eFfeM>
guess edid would be the solution there

if so, I think I'm forced to quit :-)

what about using the edid info as a starter and allow for a list of extensions. The edid info identifies the device so it should not be that difficult to create an exception table (and fill that as we encounter non-compliant systems)
- [14:44:03] <recalcati>
eFfeM: I've looked the source of u-boot present on rev B7 . There are video registers set, but there are no comment. Impossible to understand,.
- [14:44:13] <koen>
eFfeM: well, I'm after a quick fix for now
- [14:44:13] <eFfeM>
or in your terms: that are lying on their sync
- [14:44:27] <koen>
adding a new mode is a lot easier than to forward port the edid hack
- [14:44:39] <eFfeM>
koen, quick fix is additional mode
- [14:44:44] <eFfeM>
what about hd720-s
- [14:44:54] <koen>
fine by me
- [14:44:54] <eFfeM>
that would be -s for inverted sync
- [14:45:03] <koen>
does anyone have the timings for that?
- [14:45:27] <eFfeM>
what I had was a patch that toggles some regs
- [14:45:36] <eFfeM>
but the pastebin is probably expired
- [14:45:37] <koen>
as in, any volunteers to update http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/linux/linux-omap-2.6.28/modedb-hd720.patch?id=e1d669119346c6fe36373873ab364716b9a941af to add 2 modes?

afk for a short while (15 minutes or so), but feel free to clutter chat with messages for me :-)
- [14:53:35] <recalcati>
anyway I saw that u-boot displays correctly the logo on two differents tv (soby,samsung) instead with the kernel I had an horizontal shift of about 82pixel in one tv (I don't remember which one)

just take the packages and install them on Angstrom

cool, i just bought the beagle, hasnt arrived yet and i just found out about pandora ;-)
- [15:16:03] <muriani>
yeah, the only major differences are just that the pandora has wifi/bluetooth/keyboard/gamepad/touchscreen/etc all built in already :)
- [15:16:16] <muriani>
Software wise, they're pretty much identical.
- [15:18:37] <mib_fnl4vd>
cool, where would i get the packages from, is it built into OE?
- [15:18:57] <muriani>
well, it's all angstrom
- [15:19:10] <muriani>
the pandora packages will likely have modules for the extra hardware the pandora has
- [15:19:15] * dcramer (n=davec@137.122.68.156) has joined #beagle
- [15:19:44] <muriani>
you'll probably want to build a normal beagleboard distro, and then fnd out where the pandora software repository is.. I don't know that off hand
- [15:19:51] <muriani>
although I am interesting in finding out.
- [15:28:07] <mib_fnl4vd>
yah so am i, quake on a beagleboard would be sweet
- [15:28:50] <AV500>
is it even published yet?
- [15:28:56] <muriani>
Well, one of the things I want to do with it is make it a little multi-console emulator machine for the bedroom.
- [15:29:19] <muriani>
so I can unhook all my old consoles :p

- [15:36:24] <cki>
...
- [15:36:29] <cki>
mine is verry strange
- [15:36:38] <cki>
i can't still get the usb working (the otg)
- [15:36:51] <muriani>
trying to use it as host?
- [15:37:07] <cki>
.... (mine was one week ordered before the rev.C) and ofc i didnt knew about the order.. :X
- [15:37:09] * dcramer (n=davec@137.122.68.156) has joined #beagle
- [15:37:10] <cki>
well yes
- [15:37:17] <cki>
i've tried almost everything
- [15:37:29] <muriani>
are you using a proper adaper for otg to host?
- [15:37:45] <cki>
well thats one of the thigs i do suspect...
- [15:37:52] <cki>
but i've got 4 and 5 pin shorted
- [15:37:53] <muriani>
I have a cable with the right ends on it here, but it doesn't work as an otg adapter
- [15:37:56] <muriani>
ah, hm
- [15:38:02] <muriani>
I think that's what's supposed to do it
- [15:38:15] <cki>
yup but it doesn't
- [15:38:23] <cki>
once i don't have any idea how
- [15:38:26] <cki>
i've got the mouse working
- [15:38:29] <muriani>
yeah, you'll have to wait for one of the other lurkers here to pop up on that one
- [15:38:30] <cki>
just plugged only the mouse
- [15:38:37] <muriani>
ooh
- [15:38:37] <cki>
and the external power to the board
- [15:38:40] <muriani>
well, that works then
- [15:38:51] <muriani>
but the hub you have doesn't work?
- [15:38:51] <cki>
yup but only once.. :D
- [15:38:54] <muriani>
hm
- [15:39:05] <cki>
i've bought 1 expensive hub
- [15:39:15] <cki>
and 4 more that are less expensive ;]
- [15:39:18] <cki>
same thing.
- [15:39:51] <cki>
so for last thing i'll do is to look for otg usb cable somewhere on the internet or mobile phone store (nokia N800 i think will work)
- [15:40:28] <cki>
even the biggest computer shops in here don't know what is "usb mini-A to A female"
- [15:40:43] <cki>
they give me f**king mini-B ...
- [15:40:50] <cki>
i've got a lot mini-Bs ;\
- [15:42:25] * mru got the blank stare when asking for an idc to dsub cable
- [15:42:34] <AV500>
cki: yes, OTG never took off, so a lot people dont know about it
- [15:43:02] <cki>
well how did they use the usb in the earliest versions anyway? (sorry for the bad english ;] )
- [15:43:12] <AV500>
who?
- [15:43:25] <cki>
the owners
- [15:43:30] <mru>
otg is a late addition to the usb spec
- [15:44:10] <AV500>
cki: you mean the BB owners? they came here daily asking where to get the mini-A cable :-)
- [15:44:19] <cki>
:D
- [15:44:48] <cki>
can't i "emulate" the mini-a with the 4 and the 5th pins?
- [15:44:51] <cki>
shorted
- [15:45:03] <AV500>
the whole BB is a scam to sell mini-A, IDC-DSUB and HDMI to DVI cables
- [15:45:12] <AV500>
cki: yes
- [15:45:12] <cki>
i knew it.. :d
- [15:45:34] <cki>
but the mini-b shorted version is not working with me...
- [15:45:34] <muriani>
hah
- [15:45:44] <cki>
bought like 6 different hubs :D
- [15:45:50] * AV500 is now giving out bank account #
- [15:45:59] <AV500>
cki: see, it worked
- [15:46:08] <cki>
cut some adapters to mod
- [15:46:27] <cki>
so where can i get a mini-A cable? :]
- [15:46:28] <AV500>
cki: will not work, 5th pin is not in the cable
- [15:46:54] <AV500>
where are you based?
- [15:46:59] <cki>
bulgaria.. :X
- [15:47:06] <cki>
eastern europe ;D
- [15:47:35] <cki>
anywhere... exept digikey please.. (dont want to pay another 150 bucks for shipping)
- [15:47:57] <hrw>
cki: get mini-B cable and solder pins 4-5 in miniB connector
- [15:48:04] <cki>
did that ;]
- [15:48:09] <hrw>
works here
- [15:48:10] <cki>
to 3 different adaptors :D
- [15:48:38] <AV500>
cki: http://trisoft.de/en_tzubehr.htm
- [15:48:39] <cki>
i'm just goin to look for a mini-A on the internet (because i can't find it in here)

?
- [15:49:56] <muriani>
shorting the board

has anyone started hacking on an ethernet interface for beagle? then it would make for a nice pwr-efficient server, with a suitably sized USB hard drive.
- [15:57:24] <Stan-Dave>
hi, USB question.
- [15:57:57] <Stan-Dave>
Occasionally my USB devices just stop responding. Ethernet interface dies (though ifconfig still says it's up), my keyboard and mouse stop responding.
- [15:58:05] <Stan-Dave>
lsusb says that all devices are still connected.
- [15:58:15] <Stan-Dave>
there are no messages from dmesg
- [15:58:24] * cbrake_away is now known as cbrake
- [15:58:44] <Stan-Dave>
Unplugging my USB hub doesn't change anything: no messages, and lsusb still says everything is connected.
- [15:58:50] <topi_>
uh, luckily my usb network adapter has been working all day
- [15:59:05] <topi_>
but then again, it's directly connected to the USBHOST port, not to any usb hub.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
- [15:59:58] <Stan-Dave>
The only way to get the USB port to start working again is to reset.
- [16:01:02] <Stan-Dave>
Is there, perhaps, a way to simply reset the USB port? Force it to, I don't know, power down the USB interface or something, and force a redetect/reconnect?
- [16:04:26] <AV500>
tried to unload all the usb modules?
- [16:05:34] <Stan-Dave>
"rmmod <ethernet module>" hangs, if that's what you're talking about.

it gets hot
- [20:06:47] <geckosenator>
I wonder if I should add a heatsink
- [20:08:02] <elementz>
what about running the beagle as a server with multiple apps running: eg lightppd, screen, irssi a mail server and a squid proxy at the same time? do you think that would work?
- [20:08:33] <elementz>
oh, and a media server as well ;-)
- [20:09:18] <geckosenator>
yes it would work
- [20:09:38] <geckosenator>

geckosenator: what about the overall performance of that board? it is really hard to tell from the videos online
- [20:14:49] <koen>
you won't be able to to 720p with debian
- [20:14:53] <koen>
you need angstrom for that
- [20:15:08] <koen>
or any other distro that has the ffmpeg neon bits working
- [20:15:17] <elementz>
what about gentoo?
- [20:15:20] <koen>
(which is "none" at the moment)
- [20:15:27] <elementz>
k
- [20:15:55] <_AV500_>
koen: neon is on mainline ffmpeg
- [20:16:29] <koen>
_AV500_: and how many distros for the beagle use a recent enough ffmpeg compiled for neon capable cpus?

- [20:17:10] <_AV500_>

_AV500_: angstrom does :)
- [20:17:32] <koen>
so that's 1 :)
- [20:17:41] <_AV500_>
mine does too
- [20:19:47] <elementz>
ok, so 720p is possible. fair enough. so much for graphics. but how about overall performance? could you guys give me some info on your experience?

you get decent performance if you distro has been tweaked for armv7a

- [20:21:34] <_AV500_>

- [20:21:40] <koen>
ram is slow, so if you are IO bound...
- [20:22:27] <elementz>
well, as stated earlier, i'd like to use the beagle as a home server. multiple apps running but no gui

doing what?
- [20:24:35] <koen>
beagling
- [20:24:40] <elementz>
ok, maybe it would be easier to put it into terms of an x86 cpu. where would the bb rank amongst those?
- [20:24:46] <elementz>
lol
- [20:24:46] <_AV500_>
depends
- [20:24:50] <_AV500_>
:-)
- [20:25:17] <elementz>
i guess i'll have to just buy one and find out ;-)

k
- [20:25:47] <_AV500_>
see, just buy it
- [20:26:04] <muriani>
which, given what I've seen run on the Beagle (sans DSP acceleration) looks about right
- [20:28:18] <elementz>
muriani: since the main purpose for the bb will be a server in the beginning, dsp won't be that important. if i see that the box performs well, it would be cool to have it work as a mediacenter.
- [20:28:34] <elementz>
but i am looking into the xbox as an alternative as well for that purpose

- [20:39:09] <geckosenator>
with a webcam?
- [20:39:09] <_AV500_>
720p on the BB works for some MPEG4 content and then you have 0cpu left for sound or other stuff

well how do I set the brightness of the pico projector?

since I don't have bus3-i2c
- [21:10:42] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: get me a Pico and I 'promise' to work it out for you ;-)
- [21:10:54] <geckosenator>
hah
- [21:10:57] <geckosenator>
sorry no
- [21:10:58] <bobkatzz>
geckosenator - do you know what linux distro family Angtrom belongs to?
- [21:11:30] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: no
- [21:11:34] <Crofton|work>
Angstrom :)
- [21:11:44] <geckosenator>
he said angtrom
- [21:11:46] <bobkatzz>
othanks Crofton
- [21:12:02] <geckosenator>
well I'm not using angstrom
- [21:12:21] <bobkatzz>
so if I'm looking for programs then would Debian versions work?
- [21:12:37] <geckosenator>
well what are the debian versions?
- [21:12:56] <geckosenator>
I guess no one has ever attempted what I'm doing
- [21:13:02] <DJWillis>
bobkatzz: family or heritage ;-) - Debian version would work some of the times but what packages do you think your missing from Open Embedded/Angstrom.
- [21:13:20] <bobkatzz>
say I'm trying to set up hamlib, there are various versions for the falvors of linux
- [21:13:30] <bobkatzz>
flavors
- [21:14:04] <geckosenator>
I was using angstrom
- [21:14:08] <bobkatzz>
ok DJWillis - I need aptitude
- [21:14:16] <geckosenator>
but I got sick of having to download tarballs and build half the stuff from source
- [21:14:20] <geckosenator>
since there were no packages for it
- [21:14:21] <bobkatzz>
for apt-gets (will that work?)
- [21:14:25] <bobkatzz>
maybe sv
- [21:14:36] <bobkatzz>
and wget
- [21:14:52] <geckosenator>
plus my wifi doesn't work in angstrom
- [21:15:10] <bobkatzz>
none of those work and since I don't have "locate" I haven't found out if they are there but just not in the $PATH

the latest kernel for angstrom I can find a binary for is 2.6.28
- [21:16:14] <DJWillis>
bobkatzz: ipkg is the package manager for Angstrom and you could use that to install APT but it is of mixed use IMHO ;-)
- [21:16:22] <geckosenator>
is there a better url than http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
- [21:16:25] <geckosenator>
for getting the images
- [21:16:41] <geckosenator>
can I install ipkg under debian?
- [21:16:47] <bobkatzz>
ipkg it is then tnx
- [21:16:55] <bobkatzz>
is that resident on Ang?
- [21:17:16] <bobkatzz>
I don't have any "man" db either
- [21:17:25] <muriani>
I think ipkg is on angstrom
- [21:17:37] <bobkatzz>
so at least my son can't say "read the man pages Dad" hehe
- [21:17:42] <DJWillis>
bobkatzz: it's there by default, try it ;-)
- [21:17:43] <muriani>
it's used similar to apt, I think
- [21:17:54] <muriani>
it's been awhile since I've used ipkg
- [21:17:57] <bobkatzz>
ok I can google the commands
- [21:18:00] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: under debian ARMEL why not just use APT?
- [21:19:08] <bobkatzz>
hey muriani - I'm talkin to you from THE DOG - yep the Beagel speaks - ethernet is up and running
- [21:19:08] <muriani>
if you're running debian, use apt. angstrom, use ipkg. You'll more likely get packages designed for your particular distros that way.
- [21:19:15] <muriani>
bobkatzz: sweet
- [21:19:20] <geckosenator>
DJWillis: because I don't have i2c controll
- [21:19:31] <geckosenator>
DJWillis: I want to talk to the pico
- [21:19:35] <muriani>
which usb ethernet adapter?
- [21:19:44] <geckosenator>
apparently it's only been done under angstrom
- [21:19:52] <bobkatzz>
the Trendnet from RadShack
- [21:19:57] <muriani>
really?
- [21:19:59] <muriani>
hm
- [21:20:13] <bobkatzz>
right outta the box - no drivers and Angstrom found it right away
- [21:20:23] <bobkatzz>
su-weet
- [21:20:33] <muriani>
hmm
- [21:20:36] <muriani>
there's a couple of models
- [21:20:47] <muriani>
the TU2-ET100 or the TU-ET100C?
- [21:20:51] <bobkatzz>
it's the TU2-ET200
- [21:20:56] <bobkatzz>
oops
- [21:20:58] <bobkatzz>
100
- [21:21:07] <muriani>
ok, the *slightly* more expensive one then
- [21:21:11] <muriani>
$19, not too bad

jeez my sceen is like 320x400 res ouch (on a HD monitor) any way to change the settings? it said if it used alternaitve refresh setting it could damage my monitor - that's for old CRT's isn't it?
- [21:24:11] <bobkatzz>
screen
- [21:24:35] <bobkatzz>
but the tool wouldn't let me do it
- [21:24:36] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: is there a problem building the picodlp control for Debian from the source at http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/i2c-tools/picodlp-control?
- [21:25:06] <muriani>
yeah, that's for old CRTs that'll do that
- [21:25:14] <bobkatzz>
well I'm just having a fine time anyway just getting out on the innynet :D
- [21:25:28] <muriani>
most modern LCDs will just throw you an error
- [21:25:35] <bobkatzz>

and then check the xorg.conf settings?
- [21:26:44] <geckosenator>
also no makefile
- [21:26:59] <muriani>
although, xorg may be running generally confless
- [21:27:23] <geckosenator>
I had to tell it to use fbdev
- [21:28:33] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: they are in the GIT at git.openembedded.org so you can clone from there.
- [21:29:31] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: ${CC} -o bus3-i2c *.c ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS}
- [21:29:31] <DJWillis>
<< Not the most complex build ever ;-)
- [21:29:37] <geckosenator>

- [21:29:40] <geckosenator>
but thanks

- [21:32:04] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: did it work?
- [21:32:23] <geckosenator>
my keyboard can't type ctrl+alt+F1 heh
- [21:32:29] <geckosenator>
since function keys use another modifier

i didn't edit it yet - don't know what to set
- [21:32:35] <geckosenator>
and it can't do more than 3 keys at a time
- [21:32:51] <geckosenator>
so I override the window manager shortcut to run "chvt -t 1" with alt+F1
- [21:32:57] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: let me see
- [21:33:27] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: do you have Option "UseFBDev" ?
- [21:33:31] <bobkatzz>
my arrow keys won't continuously back up hehe spastic
- [21:33:36] <rcn-ee>
geckosenator, still catching up in the back irc log, are you still trying to use pico control on debian?
- [21:33:44] <bobkatzz>
in the tool? no
- [21:33:51] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: use ^p ^n
- [21:33:58] <geckosenator>
rcn-ee: I already am
- [21:34:03] <geckosenator>
rcn-ee: can't set brightness though
- [21:34:03] <bobkatzz>
ok
- [21:34:08] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: in xorg.conf
- [21:35:10] <bobkatzz>
yeah i looked in there but didn't know what to change
- [21:35:25] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: do you have the like "option "UseFBDev"" ?
- [21:36:15] <rcn-ee>
geckosenator: brightness should be "picodlp-control ledc 0 0 hex(rled) hex(gled) hex(bled)" Assuming you dloaded the picodlp-control script from Angstrom
- [21:36:22] <bobkatzz>
i'll look . . .
- [21:36:58] <geckosenator>
rcn-ee: the script is in the openembedded git?
- [21:37:06] <bobkatzz>
Section "Device" Identifier "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0" Driver "omapfb" EndSection
- [21:37:16] <geckosenator>
oh, well I used Driver "fbdev"
- [21:37:17] <geckosenator>
and it works
- [21:37:20] <geckosenator>
but it might be slower
- [21:37:35] <bobkatzz>
where would I set that?
- [21:37:46] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: change omapfb to fbdev
- [21:37:57] <geckosenator>
it's annoying since I can see the script in cgit
- [21:38:05] <bobkatzz>

hi everybody
- [21:39:03] <rcn-ee>
geckosenator, bu2-i2c builds fine in debian. (that's how i did it for that 3rd pico video running ubuntu)
- [21:39:13] <geckosenator>
where did you get the source to build it?
- [21:39:42] <rcn-ee>
just copied from oe git to my svn repo, let me tar up the source and give you a link...
- [21:39:47] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: give me your email and I will mail you the source from my local GIT checkout.
- [21:39:49] <geckosenator>
I want to get it from git, but not sure how to clone partal path
- [21:40:00] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: got a mail ready to send ;-)
- [21:40:03] <geckosenator>
since I don't have enough harddrive space on either beagle or laptop to clone openembedded
- [21:40:11] <maxired>
I'm a trying to get javafx running on beagle board. I didn't find anything on the net. did anybody manage that ?
- [21:40:13] <geckosenator>
DJWillis: /msg DJWillis geckosenator@gmail.com

er oops

- [21:40:26] <DJWillis>
oh well, close enough ;-)
- [21:40:34] <geckosenator>
yeah, and thaks
- [21:40:47] <geckosenator>
I wonder what would be involved making a debian package
- [21:40:47] <DJWillis>
sent
- [21:40:52] <bobkatzz>
do I have to reboot for that to work then?
- [21:40:57] <geckosenator>
bobkatzz: no
- [21:41:09] <geckosenator>
someone could host all the beagle specific packages
- [21:41:19] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: not a lot at all, it's a really simple little app that just needs i2c-tools under the hood.
- [21:41:22] <geckosenator>
DJWillis: ok I got it
- [21:41:30] <bobkatzz>
I have my own server and would be happy to host anyhting
- [21:41:33] <bobkatzz>
anything
- [21:41:49] <bobkatzz>
it's at goDaddy - dedicated
- [21:41:54] <rcn-ee>
geckosenator: most is here http://rcn-ee.homeip.net:81/dl/omap/picocontrol/

i actually got javafx and javafxc on my board, but the execution of any javafx programme crash
- [21:42:10] <bobkatzz>
Fedora core 10 I think
- [21:42:42] <rcn-ee>
copy it all, then just run the build-*.sh script.. for a quick run...
- [21:43:20] <bobkatzz>
so geckosenator then how does the screen setting change take place ?
- [21:43:25] <geckosenator>

- [21:51:47] <geckosenator>

- [21:53:23] <geckosenator>
rcn-ee: DJWillis: thanks
- [21:53:30] <geckosenator>

- [21:53:51] <bobkatzz>

geckosenator, good to hear, if you want to play around with python, that unreleased gui is in that directory too..
- [21:56:22] <geckosenator>
actually
- [21:56:32] <DJWillis>
geckosenator: glad it's working, the pico is a cool little device.
- [21:56:33] <geckosenator>
how do I set the leds to different values
- [21:56:51] <geckosenator>
./picodlp-control rled 1
- [21:56:52] <geckosenator>
that works
- [21:56:59] <geckosenator>
but how to set to 50%
- [21:58:19] <rcn-ee>
geckosenator, it isn't documented at all (quick hack) but use ledc (led current)
- [21:58:26] <geckosenator>
oh
- [21:58:35] <geckosenator>
for all 3?
- [21:58:43] <rcn-ee>
yeah, all 3 at once: picodlp-control ledc 0 0 hex(rled) hex(gled) hex(bled)
- [21:58:54] <rcn-ee>
0xEC is default according to my notes..
- [21:59:39] <geckosenator>
also my python was in /usr/bin not /bin
- [22:00:48] <geckosenator>
oh
- [22:00:49] <rcn-ee>
that might have been ubuntu's method, haven't worked on the script since mid january.. it was just for the 3rd video,
- [22:00:54] <geckosenator>
the rled just turns it on and off
- [22:01:27] <rcn-ee>
correct: rled, bled, gled are 0/1 for on and off

then subprocess.py isn't found

socket-a?
- [22:04:19] <geckosenator>
is it better to keep the pico cool?
- [22:04:59] <rcn-ee>
they mostly kept it steady, so i wouldn't bump it after finally getting it focused...
- [22:05:20] <geckosenator>
well my wall is bumpy
- [22:05:25] <geckosenator>
so it isn't focused very well
