to install GCC, all i have to do is opkg install gcc
- [00:33:58] <airman00>
right?

I get error: C compiler cannot make executables. How do I fix that/
- [00:45:48] <ds2>
use "task-native"
- [00:59:47] <airman00>
task-native not found
- [01:00:14] <thahemp>
are you compiling on the beagleboard?
- [01:00:20] <thahemp>
or on the host machine?
- [01:01:03] <airman00>
compiling on beagleboard
- [01:01:18] <thahemp>
opkg install gcc gcc-symlinks cpp cpp-symlinks binutils make
- [01:01:23] <thahemp>
that'll get you up and running
- [01:01:33] <thahemp>
and opkg install vim vim-syntax
- [01:02:11] <thahemp>
then copy the example vimrc from /usr/share/vim/vim-something to /home/root/.vimrc
- [01:02:21] <thahemp>
you'll have syntax highlighting and whatnot
- [01:03:14] * djlewis (i=4b0f4155@gateway/web/freenode/x-gegzwqhfzavwjygu) has joined #beagle
- [01:03:33] <thahemp>
as long as you launch vim with "vim" and not "vi"
- [01:03:58] <djlewis>
airman00: to see if the name is changed you can wildcard a list with opkg >opkg list *nano*
- [01:04:29] <thahemp>
indeed
- [01:04:42] <thahemp>
but you want vim for code writing.... i would assume
- [01:04:49] <djlewis>
airman00: you are using Angstrom from Narcissus or Beagle dEMO?
- [01:04:58] <djlewis>
OOH CAPS LOCK ..
- [01:05:02] <thahemp>
haha
- [01:05:08] <djlewis>
better. :)
- [01:05:35] <thahemp>
i think he's straightened out
- [01:05:57] <djlewis>
For my artistic brain I have to have huge cheat sheets to use the likes of vi or vim type editors.
- [01:06:05] <thahemp>
yeah
- [01:06:21] <thahemp>
but in a console system.. you are forced to learn it at some point
- [01:06:34] <djlewis>
not with nano around :)
- [01:06:45] <thahemp>
but nano doesn't sytax highlight does it?
- [01:06:47] * Animule (n=Animal@71-33-166-191.hlrn.qwest.net) has joined #beagle
- [01:06:53] <thahemp>
i use nano for everything else
- [01:06:57] <superdug>
vim is the only editor
- [01:07:05] <superdug>
done &
- [01:07:06] <djlewis>
no it is a simple editor that is simple to use.
- [01:07:10] <airman00>
thahemp: how did you know to do opkg install gcc . Is there some resource you looked up? or just offhand data
- [01:07:20] <superdug>
djlewis: it's actually very complex
- [01:07:31] <thahemp>
O.o
- [01:07:41] <thahemp>
just experience with linux packages....
- [01:07:48] <superdug>
you can edit multiple files ... split the screen ... etc
- [01:07:48] <djlewis>
why is everyone cop'ing an attitude about nano ;)
- [01:07:49] <thahemp>
that's how it is on a real lin box
- [01:07:52] <airman00>
I mean I also did opkg install gcc , but all those exatras afterwards
- [01:07:54] <thahemp>
haha
- [01:07:54] <superdug>
thahemp: what distro
- [01:08:05] <thahemp>
superdug: all
- [01:08:11] <superdug>
djlewis: one compound word linewrap
- [01:08:29] <thahemp>
djlewis: i really do use nano for everything *but* code writing
- [01:08:35] <superdug>
thahemp: well most every distro is different for how it handles prepackaged binares
- [01:08:37] <ds2>
is it task-native or task-native-sdk?
- [01:09:01] <thahemp>
superdug: true, but i have grown familiar with all of them
- [01:09:07] <thahemp>
i'm not really sure what you're getting at
- [01:09:09] <djlewis>
i do find the linewrap issue sometimes. Have to manually delete the spaces or tabs that break it.
- [01:09:24] <thahemp>
just a nano quirk that you learn to live with
- [01:09:29] <superdug>
ohhh airman00 is asking
- [01:09:29] <djlewis>
ds2: the latter
- [01:09:35] <superdug>
nevermind sorry thahemp
- [01:09:40] <thahemp>
haha...all good
- [01:09:44] <thahemp>
just confused for a moment
- [01:10:01] <ds2>
oops
- [01:10:03] <thahemp>
airman00: those are just the packages required to compile stuff
- [01:10:09] <thahemp>
always
- [01:10:23] <thahemp>
some distros are nice and provide build-essentials
- [01:10:23] <thahemp>
some aren't
- [01:10:54] <thahemp>
and apparently angstrom provides task-native-sdk
- [01:10:57] <thahemp>
:)
- [01:11:06] <thahemp>
didn't know that
- [01:11:09] <djlewis>
really only takes three packages to do c, c++ on BB in Angstrom
- [01:11:18] <thahemp>
gcc cpp binutils
- [01:11:24] <thahemp>
but the symlinks break make
- [01:11:30] <thahemp>
or the lack thereof
- [01:11:36] <thahemp>
so they are a convenience
- [01:12:56] <djlewis>
taks-native-sdk , cpp, gccmakedep always gets me started.
- [01:13:10] <djlewis>
task-native-sdk that is
- [01:13:54] <thahemp>
hmmm
- [01:13:58] <thahemp>
i wonder what you start with
- [01:14:25] <thahemp>
gccmakedep
- [01:14:28] <thahemp>
i'm not familiar with that
- [01:14:38] <thahemp>
oh
- [01:14:42] <thahemp>
a makefile tool
- [01:15:02] <djlewis>
Ilater I add pkgconfig
- [01:15:38] <thahemp>
i've never written anything so complicated to require help with package config and lib dependencies
- [01:15:51] <thahemp>
i suppose that shows my amatuer-ness
- [01:15:52] <djlewis>
i think it mught be pkg-config in opkg
- [01:15:59] <thahemp>
oh yeah... i'm sure it is
- [01:16:04] <thahemp>
it is everywhere else
- [01:16:19] <thahemp>
pkg-config has caused me more heartache than help
- [01:16:34] <djlewis>
I have mixed feelings about it.
- [01:16:39] <ds2>
and configure and...
- [01:16:56] <thahemp>
i just always find the headers and there's the rule... anything after lib* goes in the -l option
- [01:17:02] <thahemp>
no pkgconfig required
- [01:17:08] <djlewis>
hehee.
- [01:17:51] <thahemp>
then again.. on a large project... it's nice i'm sure to have a command-style call to add to the makefile to find your reqs
- [01:18:14] <djlewis>
I have spent way too much energy deciphering ./configure and its Makefile when things dont come together
- [01:18:30] <thahemp>
hah
- [01:18:30] <thahemp>
yep
- [01:18:44] <thahemp>
i'm sure sakoman doesn't want to hear it... but gumstix was a nightmare for me
- [01:18:45] <ds2>
there is no place in this universe for ./configure or pkgconfig or libtool
- [01:18:51] <thahemp>
haha
- [01:18:59] * thahemp highfives ds2
- [01:19:12] <djlewis>
I was wondering when ds2 would chime in on that one ;)
- [01:19:17] <thahemp>
:)
- [01:19:27] <thahemp>
well... when you think about it
- [01:19:32] <thahemp>
you spend so much time writing the code
- [01:19:43] <thahemp>
there's no reason you can't keep a makefile or makefiles up to date while you do so
- [01:19:50] <thahemp>
dependency by dependency
- [01:19:54] <ds2>
make it configurable by editing the Makefile and it is sufficient
- [01:19:56] <thahemp>
it's no secret to you when you add it
- [01:21:01] <thahemp>
agreed.. makefiles with the benefit of bash scripting is plenty
- [01:21:05] <thahemp>
there's no reason to need more
- [01:21:12] <djlewis>
airman00: I have been lazy and using Geany in the BB GUI to dev.;
- [01:21:26] <ds2>
dropping autoconf gives you a much larger audience
- [01:21:52] <thahemp>
ick
- [01:21:57] <thahemp>
you've gone too far now
- [01:22:10] <thahemp>
not in suggesting dropping it
- [01:22:12] <djlewis>
I think many code writers think only of the Intel i386 world.
- [01:22:13] <thahemp>
but by mentioning it alone
- [01:22:29] <thahemp>
hehe
- [01:22:46] <thahemp>
ARM is making giant leaps in recent years
- [01:22:52] <djlewis>
yep.
- [01:22:58] <thahemp>
even in the 2 or 3 that i've been working with them
- [01:23:10] <thahemp>
years that is...
- [01:23:18] <thahemp>
slow fingers fast brain
- [01:23:33] <djlewis>
got my first ARM this spring, the BB
- [01:23:38] <thahemp>
nice
- [01:23:40] <thahemp>
good first one
- [01:23:54] <thahemp>
my first was the verdex from sakoman's place ;)
- [01:24:06] <thahemp>
it was 95% ready
- [01:24:08] <thahemp>
hehe
- [01:24:11] <ds2>
mmmmmmm verdex
- [01:24:23] <thahemp>
it was a great board
- [01:24:33] <thahemp>
just had some minor issues that took too long to hit the surface
- [01:24:37] <thahemp>
for a production board that is
- [01:24:45] <thahemp>
and actually... the mainboard was fine
- [01:24:54] <thahemp>
it was the daughter boards they were selling
- [01:24:56] <thahemp>
that were bonked
- [01:25:58] <ds2>
well, to be fair...the x86 folks got be smoking some good stuff
- [01:26:25] <thahemp>
yeah... i've got a bunch of bga core2duo's sitting in a tray on my desk at work
- [01:26:30] <thahemp>
they're awesome
- [01:26:34] <thahemp>
but they draw too much power
- [01:26:43] <thahemp>
you can't put them in a small space
- [01:27:03] <thahemp>
unless you want your phone or small device bonded to your thigh
- [01:27:15] <ds2>
that and their footprints are huge
- [01:27:31] <thahemp>
true... but to be expected for the power gained
- [01:27:54] <thahemp>
we've got an i.mx515 board in house too
- [01:28:01] <thahemp>
that's gonna be a nice processor
- [01:28:03] <ds2>
oh right, you said Core2Duo
- [01:28:16] <thahemp>
they're "low power" hahahahaha
- [01:28:20] <ds2>
I was thinking of atom (was at a talk yesterday and the stuff they were presenting is gastly)
- [01:28:25] <thahemp>
like 10W at LEAST
- [01:28:37] <thahemp>
well.. even atom doesn't come close
- [01:28:46] <thahemp>
although i hear they're trying
- [01:28:50] <thahemp>
they have some deal with mercedes
- [01:29:08] <thahemp>
i bet they can pull car computers off
- [01:29:16] <thahemp>
but nothing else
- [01:29:32] <thahemp>
3W is too much
- [01:30:03] <ds2>
but the need for all those chips
- [01:30:17] <ds2>
and to top if off you need to support PCIe to really talk to it.... ick
- [01:30:33] <thahemp>
jeez... pci is my demon right now
- [01:30:53] <thahemp>
we're trying to do a firewire network and all the TI chips are PCI bus
- [01:30:58] <ds2>
yikes
- [01:30:59] <thahemp>
but no mobile processors have the bus
- [01:31:01] <thahemp>
heh
- [01:31:04] <thahemp>
yeah
- [01:31:13] <thahemp>
i think the DM6467 has one
- [01:31:17] <ds2>
isn't there something from PLX that will bridge it?
- [01:31:22] <thahemp>
not really
- [01:31:27] <thahemp>
well
- [01:31:28] <thahemp>
yes
- [01:31:31] <thahemp>
there is
- [01:31:38] <thahemp>
if you have a bus to bridge to
- [01:31:45] <thahemp>
what do you have on the OMAP?
- [01:31:50] <thahemp>
USB
- [01:31:54] <thahemp>
ethernet
- [01:31:54] <ds2>
you basically have ISA on the OMAP
- [01:31:59] <thahemp>
ISA
- [01:32:01] <thahemp>
yeah
- [01:32:10] <thahemp>
a single-cycle read/write arm bus
- [01:32:22] <thahemp>
which is almost useless for a ghetto rigged pci bus
- [01:32:49] <thahemp>
the i.MX51 is the same way
- [01:32:50] <ds2>
the GPMC stuff might be able to keep up with a basic 32bit 33MHz PCI
- [01:33:08] <thahemp>
how many GPIO are available?
- [01:33:22] <ds2>
hundreds on the OMAP
- [01:33:28] <thahemp>
that's nice
- [01:33:35] <thahemp>
i really wish we could use the omap
- [01:33:47] <thahemp>
the freescale part has none that aren't multiplexed with other peripherals
- [01:34:05] <thahemp>
i also like the stacked bga memory + cpu
- [01:34:09] <thahemp>
that's is ingenious
- [01:34:13] <airman00>
hey thahemp: I tried what you said and I still get C commpiler cannot create exectuables when I do ./configure
- [01:34:39] <thahemp>
wierd
- [01:34:53] <thahemp>
did you try the task-native-sdk
- [01:34:57] <thahemp>
package
- [01:35:12] <thahemp>
although... i don't know what could possibly be in there to fix your compiler
- [01:35:23] <thahemp>
mine creates executables all day long :)
- [01:35:50] <thahemp>
and i know i compiled gdal lib with the X-stable image
- [01:35:56] <thahemp>
with no extra packages installed
- [01:36:14] <thahemp>
give us more info on what you're using... it should be working
- [01:36:24] <airman00>
installing task native now
- [01:36:39] <thahemp>
are you using the x-stable or the console image?
- [01:36:48] <thahemp>
or something in-between
- [01:38:13] <airman00>
I dont know. How would I find out?
- [01:38:50] <thahemp>
what did you copy on to your SD card?
- [01:39:02] <airman00>
I purchased Angstrom Demo SD Card
- [01:39:07] <thahemp>
oh
- [01:39:14] <thahemp>
do you have a GUI interface?
- [01:39:18] <thahemp>
or just a console?
- [01:41:18] <airman00>
GUI
- [01:41:31] <thahemp>
i'm surprised it doesn't work
- [01:41:32] <airman00>
but right now I'm sshing in and using the console
- [01:41:51] <thahemp>
do you have an SD card reader?
- [01:42:53] <airman00>
yes why?
- [01:43:09] <ds2>
what doesn't work?
- [01:43:29] <thahemp>
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
- [01:43:39] <thahemp>
the demo image in there works just fine
- [01:44:08] <airman00>
I download nano
- [01:44:13] <thahemp>
hehe
- [01:44:22] <djlewis>
alright ;)
- [01:44:37] <airman00>
then scp it from my host to the BB, and then did ./configure from terminal in the correct directory
- [01:44:44] <thahemp>
O.o
- [01:44:47] <djlewis>
nano sucks in a serial console though.
- [01:44:56] <airman00>
I'm trying to install it
- [01:44:56] <thahemp>
isn't it in the angstrom rep?
- [01:45:00] <airman00>
no its not
- [01:45:04] <thahemp>
hmm
- [01:45:22] <thahemp>
that sucks
- [01:45:23] <thahemp>
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2009.X-stable-20090612--beagleboard.rootfs.tar.bz2
- [01:45:25] <ds2>
airman00: uh...
- [01:45:27] <airman00>
so I'm doing another opkg update ( 3rd time in the past hour) with the hopes that it will be fixed :P
- [01:45:29] <djlewis>
I thought Special Computing had 2.6.28 on SD
- [01:45:30] <thahemp>
that is the image that i used at first
- [01:45:31] <ds2>
you did run "make" right?
- [01:45:41] <ds2>
djlewis: it is an assortment...
- [01:45:44] <airman00>
./configure before make
- [01:45:55] <ds2>
airman00: what does the result of make say?
- [01:47:05] <airman00>
make: ** NO targets specificed and no makefile found, Stop. I have to do ./configure first
- [01:47:29] <thahemp>
why would ./configure be invoking any gcc anything???
- [01:47:47] <djlewis>
it only inspects and sets up make
- [01:48:14] <airman00>
inspects and tells me Error: C compiler cannot make executables
- [01:48:19] <djlewis>
'only' might be a poor choice of word.
- [01:48:56] <ds2>
your configurefailed
- [01:49:02] <thahemp>
:)
- [01:49:03] <ds2>
what didconfiguresay?
- [01:49:06] <thahemp>
ds2 dances
- [01:49:39] <ds2>
airman00: is your SD card write protected?
- [01:49:52] * hyc_tb (n=ai@76.91.220.157) Quit ("Powered by OE: www.openembedded.org")
- [01:49:58] * spvensko (n=spvensko@rrcs-24-199-144-166.midsouth.biz.rr.com) has joined #beagle
- [01:50:01] <airman00>
no
- [01:50:06] <thahemp>
honestly... just build the image on your SD card like a normal person
- [01:50:11] <thahemp>
you won't have problems
- [01:50:35] <ds2>
I donno... those SD images worked for a lot of people
- [01:50:36] <thahemp>
or... not even build.. just cp and decompress
- [01:51:07] <djlewis>
I often build an app using OE and thumb drive it over to BB
- [01:51:07] <ds2>
you did have a net connection when you did the opkg install task-native-sdk,right?
- [01:51:16] <airman00>
I guess that would he last option. I'll fiddle around with this later. Yes i had net connection
- [01:51:21] <ds2>
easier to build natively
- [01:51:27] <djlewis>
yep
- [01:51:41] <thahemp>
airman00... i rebuild my system this morning because i bricked it... 13 minutes
- [01:51:42] <ds2>
did opkg return any errors?
- [01:51:45] <thahemp>
don't fear it
- [01:51:51] <thahemp>
rebuilt*
- [01:52:25] <thahemp>
using the demo images is still techinically cheating... you just don't have to pay for it :)
- [01:53:31] <ds2>
the who OE thing is still questionable
- [01:53:45] <thahemp>
it has worked for me 100% of the time
- [01:54:04] <djlewis>
I find that if it is left alone and no updates it does well :)
- [01:54:21] <thahemp>
although... i'm only talking about downloading koen's demos and extracing them onto partition 2
- [01:54:26] <djlewis>
I am using the stable branch
- [01:55:01] <djlewis>
ds2: nice to have a ipk to opkg on BB
- [01:55:17] <ds2>
djlewis: I am happy with tgz's
- [01:55:25] <djlewis>
thems good too :)
- [01:55:40] <thahemp>
have you guys tried to install older ipk's with opkg lately?
- [01:55:53] <djlewis>
I use a bit of it all. In whatever form it comes in I try to make use of.
- [01:55:58] <thahemp>
like specifically... the sgx modules
- [01:56:10] <djlewis>
I hear they are broken
- [01:56:16] <thahemp>
oh they are

SGX from TI works fine
- [01:56:29] <djlewis>
dont qoute me. I was just skimming logs today
- [01:56:29] <thahemp>
yeah... the libs do
- [01:56:32] <ds2>
donno about the third hand stuff in OE ;)
- [01:56:47] <thahemp>
the libs work great
- [01:56:50] <thahemp>
the sgx modules package in the angstrom rep
- [01:56:53] <thahemp>
is not compatible
- [01:57:05] <thahemp>
it's like 1607 version
- [01:57:08] <ds2>
sigh...
- [01:57:11] <thahemp>
and the 1397 one works
- [01:57:18] <ds2>
build them yourself... KBUILD is not that hard
- [01:57:18] <djlewis>
there was some talk, might have been thahemp , talking about sgx apps not running?
- [01:57:26] <thahemp>
:)
- [01:57:28] <thahemp>
yep
- [01:57:29] <thahemp>
only
- [01:57:31] <ds2>
djlewis: I was just running them today
- [01:57:32] <thahemp>
it was midcon1
- [01:57:40] <thahemp>
i am midcon1 at work
- [01:57:55] <ds2>
i need to get my accelerometer on there and things might get interesting
- [01:58:07] <djlewis>
I havent gotten the SGX demos to run since a 2.6.28 or early 2.6.29
- [01:58:28] <thahemp>
you have to use the current libGLES stuff
- [01:58:35] <thahemp>
and use the 1397 sgx modules
- [01:58:39] <thahemp>
then it works perfect
- [01:58:55] <djlewis>
I live in stables so I can have some predictability.
- [01:59:01] <thahemp>
but you can only install the 1397 ones if you install them on a fresh system before you run opkg update for the first time
- [01:59:16] <ds2>
problem is OE stable isn't that stable
- [01:59:17] <djlewis>
You mean opkg upgrade?
- [01:59:23] <djlewis>
BAD IDEA!
- [01:59:29] <thahemp>
no... opkg update!
- [01:59:35] <ds2>
opkg upgrade mostly works :D
- [01:59:41] <djlewis>
that only updates the database locally
- [01:59:44] <thahemp>
once opkg realized there's a newere version you can't install the old ones
- [01:59:51] <djlewis>
oh
- [01:59:51] <thahemp>
opkg is retarded too
- [01:59:52] <ds2>
just apply --force or the equiv
- [01:59:57] <thahemp>
hmm
- [02:00:08] <thahemp>
that's not a documented flag
- [02:00:13] <thahemp>
-force-downgrade is
- [02:00:14] <thahemp>
and it doesn't work
- [02:00:26] <djlewis>
I have tested opkg upgrade several times trhough fs numbers and it always breaks.
- [02:00:59] <thahemp>
it worked ok for me yesterday...
- [02:01:05] <thahemp>
nothing exploded anyways
- [02:01:12] <djlewis>
using which build?
- [02:01:19] <thahemp>
the latest
- [02:01:23] <djlewis>
from?
- [02:01:42] <thahemp>
i used koen's image x11-stable
- [02:01:46] <thahemp>
and i also built x11-image
- [02:01:51] <thahemp>
both worked ok
- [02:02:00] <djlewis>
I tried it on Narcissus and Beagle Demo
- [02:02:10] <thahemp>
i haven't tried any narcissus yet
- [02:02:36] <djlewis>
I think it all really depends on what time of which day in what moon phase you do it.
- [02:03:18] <djlewis>
And if you are not wearing the witches slippers, just forget even trying.
- [02:03:45] <thahemp>
that's conforting
- [02:03:51] <thahemp>
comforting even
- [02:04:55] <djlewis>
thahemp: are you a developer?
- [02:05:15] <thahemp>
not for linux or bb or any open source project
- [02:05:26] <thahemp>
but yeah i suppose you could classify it as that
- [02:05:46] <djlewis>
I only do small scall things for myself thus far.
- [02:05:50] <thahemp>
i'm 1/2 hardware designer 1/2 coder
- [02:05:51] <djlewis>
scall = small
- [02:06:13] <thahemp>
me too
- [02:06:14] <djlewis>
me, about 3/4 : 1/4
- [02:06:21] <thahemp>
yep
- [02:06:29] <ds2>
You too!
- [02:06:34] <thahemp>
i've only had to write software for what i've designed
- [02:06:41] <thahemp>
so i'm not all that hardcore as a developer

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

aw heck

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

I guess I should use the external logic input option?
- [08:40:13] <Beagleroid>
why with BB?
- [08:40:31] <hrw>
Beagleroid: BB is one of cheapest devices now
- [08:40:39] <av500>
well, or connect RED and DARK BLUE
- [08:40:51] <hrw>
small, cheap, powerfull, has i2c, spi and few other things
- [08:40:56] <hrw>
bb in few
- [08:41:28] <av500>
and it can show a 3D animation of the turnstile rotating so that people understand how it works :-)
- [08:41:48] <DesktopMa>
yeah there will be a screen there too. would be nice if BB could do both
- [08:41:51] <av500>
use a cam and even map the peoples face to an avatar using it
- [08:42:07] <av500>
give ppl a preview of their turnstile experience....
- [08:42:13] <DesktopMa>
av500: hmm so I can use one IO line and open the gate by setting it on? are they 5v?
- [08:42:32] <av500>
DesktopMa: nope, use an IO line to a relay
- [08:42:48] <av500>
I would not connect BB and this think electrically
- [08:42:53] <av500>
relay provide isolation
- [08:43:06] <DesktopMa>
yeah I don't think I want to do that either. I have no relays though
- [08:43:19] <av500>
DesktopMa: so, buy some
- [08:43:59] <av500>
but of course you need a driver for the relay that works of the 1.8B GPIO level...
- [08:44:09] <av500>
B->V
- [08:44:09] <DesktopMa>
I will. was just hoping to do some testing today and my shitty town has no stores ;)
- [08:44:29] <av500>
well, then hold the blue and red wires in your hand and pretend
- [08:44:43] <DesktopMa>
CUT THE BLUE WIRE
- [08:45:02] <av500>
or wire them to a switch and use an usb rocket launcher on the BB....
- [08:45:25] <av500>
you can control several tunrstiles this way
- [08:46:18] <DesktopMa>
isn't the plc control contacts supposed to be connected directly?
- [08:48:02] <av500>
no idea, but I would not connect anything directly, turnstiles are not 1.8V devices....
- [08:48:11] <av500>
what about the serial thingy?
- [08:48:29] <DesktopMa>
that's what I wanted to do but they didn't buy the serial card

there are some electrical engineers across the hall so I think I will pay them a visit
- [08:50:23] <av500>

- [08:50:33] <av500>

an industrial PC has all approval certificates, the BB has nothing

I hear the DVI output works pretty well for that. ;)
- [10:02:22] <alexandre_fs>
but the LCD monitor that connects to the DVI-D output costs 400USD
- [10:02:30] <bkero>
What?
- [10:02:41] <alexandre_fs>
https://www.xenarcdirect.com/product.php?productid=16194
- [10:03:04] <cwillu_at_work>
alexandre_fs, if you mean "touchscreen", you should say "touchscreen"
- [10:03:04] <av500>
so it must be small?
- [10:03:17] <bkero>
I bought a no-branded clone of that for $200 in 2004.
- [10:03:35] <alexandre_fs>
touchscreen is just a nice feature...i don't have to have it... but this is the only monitor i found on the official site
- [10:03:55] <av500>
why not buy a random LCD with DVI?
- [10:03:56] <alexandre_fs>
and i would like not a monitor but just the display
- [10:03:58] <cwillu_at_work>
alexandre_fs, if you're not embedding, just get any old lcd, as long as it uses dvi, you'll get a picture
- [10:04:04] <av500>
or does it have to be 7"?
- [10:04:17] <alexandre_fs>
no...but i would like just the display for embedding
- [10:04:39] <cwillu_at_work>
well, then I think you'll have to figure out the complicated stuff
- [10:04:45] <alexandre_fs>
:)
- [10:04:56] <av500>
or use the MIMO samsung 7" USB Stiff
- [10:04:58] <av500>
stuff
- [10:05:06] <bkero>
Hey look, same thing for $390 on ebay, and it's still a GIGANTIC RIPOFF. http://cgi.ebay.com/XENARC-706TSA-7-TFT-LCD-Touchscreen-Monitor-w-DVI_W0QQitemZ290354843119QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Video_Navigation?hash=item439a7f4def

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

- [10:15:13] <alexandre_fs>
i can understand that it wouldn't be a "production" solution... still it would meet my requirements, that right now is just to output the X11

- [10:15:46] <av500>
and why not use a standard LCD DVI monitor?
- [10:15:49] <DesktopMa>
what type of connector do these use?
- [10:16:04] <av500>

di I have that interface in beagle?

*do
- [10:21:20] <cwillu_at_work>
alexandre_fs, look at the packs for how their systems work
- [10:21:31] <alexandre_fs>
ok
- [10:21:39] <cwillu_at_work>
you just need an overo earth which clips onto those connectors
- [10:21:39] <av500>
alexandre_fs: no, this is for a gumstix
- [10:21:51] <cwillu_at_work>
alexandre_fs, it's the same processor as the gumstix, I've had very good success booting bb and overo off the same cards
- [10:22:30] <alexandre_fs>
maybe the whole gumstix solution would be better for me then...

- [10:25:23] <alexandre_fs>
yes...i went to that site, but they don't update it for a while...
- [10:25:35] <av500>
alexandre_fs: I guess it is "stable" then :)
- [10:25:47] <alexandre_fs>
the BeagleLCD seems perfect
- [10:26:08] <alexandre_fs>
yes.. non-existing is stable :)
- [10:26:16] <av500>
ds2: you have a costumer here!
- [10:30:32] <alexandre_fs>
thank you all for helping me... i'm kind of divided between BB, Gumstix or buying a TouchBook and hack it
- [10:30:46] <alexandre_fs>
I just prefer BB over Gumstix for the community support...
- [10:31:07] <DesktopMa>
if the pandora is ever finished there' also that
- [10:31:11] <DesktopMa>
since it has an lcd :P
- [10:31:12] <alexandre_fs>
but maybe it would be simpler for me to buy a Gumstix with the necessary modules...
- [10:31:26] <alexandre_fs>
Pandora?
- [10:31:36] <DesktopMa>
www.openpandora.org
- [10:32:35] <alexandre_fs>
looks good.. but still in dev..
- [10:32:44] <DesktopMa>
yeah it's been sloow coming
- [10:34:04] <alexandre_fs>
TouchBook is ready now....
- [10:34:15] <alexandre_fs>
and has the advantage to have a version without keyboard
- [10:34:20] <DesktopMa>
yeah that's true
- [10:34:28] <DesktopMa>
I'm considering one
- [10:34:41] <alexandre_fs>
but it's based in the B2 revision of BB
- [10:34:43] <DesktopMa>
wish it had less space around the screen though
- [10:34:58] <DesktopMa>
are you sure? did those have 256MB ram?
- [10:35:04] <alexandre_fs>
yes i think so
- [10:35:24] <av500>
B has 128
- [10:35:30] <kblin>
revBs only have 128..
- [10:35:38] <DesktopMa>
that's what I thought
- [10:35:39] <alexandre_fs>
uhmm..let me find the link
- [10:35:54] <kblin>
but that sounds like an easy change without changing much of the remaining board
- [10:36:03] <DesktopMa>
yeah true. if it's just "based on"
- [10:37:24] <kblin>
to be honest, at least with the kernels I'm currently running, the b6 runs better than the c2

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

- [12:56:36] <mru>
it is
- [12:56:38] <XorA>
yes

cf omapfbplay
- [12:56:57] <puppy>
sorry i started the distro war..
- [12:57:46] <craw>
so i can write a yuv image to /dev/fb0 when i set it up somehow (which i would have to look up now)
- [12:57:58] <craw>
not just via the v4l interface to the dss?
- [12:58:06] <mru>
and debian on arm is just a bad idea
- [12:58:25] <mru>
craw: you can use /dev/fb1 or fb2 for yuv overlay

mru: starting from 2.6.29 kernelversion?

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

purly console.

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

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

tahsin, it's a config for an overo, but the kernel works fine on a beagleboard
- [19:25:02] <furibondox>
i've no led directory/file under /sys/class

ok
- [19:27:31] <furibondox>
tahsin: do you have a good .config for the 2.6.29?
- [19:27:36] <tahsin>
<cwillu_at_work> i want to change the values on my expansion board.. i can chage the directions fine but i cant change the values... but for the USR leds that works fine
- [19:27:59] <tahsin>
<furibondox> well i used a precompiled one
- [19:28:18] <furibondox>
ah ok... where do you have downloaded it?
- [19:29:05] <cwillu_at_work>
tahsin, there's a way to make entries for whatever gpio_### you want, I don't recall exactly how, but it works
- [19:29:23] <cwillu_at_work>
tahsin, I had it working on a bunch of gpio's that weren't leds
- [19:29:28] <cwillu_at_work>
reading and writing
- [19:29:41] <tahsin>
well i know how to activate them

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

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

- [19:35:03] <tahsin>
<furibondox> you mean that?
- [19:36:07] <furibondox>
no.. i have another serial (not the console) to attach to the expansion pins
- [19:36:41] <tahsin>
oh... i am not aware of that..
- [19:37:25] <tahsin>
<furibondox> sorry.. my expansion is just holes in it.. i am trying to get my explansion port to work
- [19:37:27] <furibondox>
ok now i've your kernel
- [19:37:47] <furibondox>
the usr0 led is blinking
- [19:37:57] <furibondox>
the usr1 led does not blink
- [19:38:16] <tahsin>
<furibondox> yes thats because USR) led is set to heartbead
- [19:38:16] <furibondox>
seems off
- [19:38:18] <tahsin>
beat*
- [19:38:21] <furibondox>
ok
- [19:38:32] <tahsin>
and USR! is set to mmc0
- [19:38:35] <furibondox>
now i try the pendrive on the standard usb
- [19:38:39] <furibondox>
ok
- [19:39:07] <tahsin>
you can change teh led things to your nand if you want... and its on the link i sent you before
- [19:39:34] <SplasH>
has anybody some experiences about image processing on the beagleboard with an usb camera?
- [19:39:39] <furibondox>
http://pastebin.com/m4ee67bda
- [19:39:59] <furibondox>
ok with this kernel the pendrive works
- [19:40:12] <tahsin>
yea thats strange
- [19:40:26] <furibondox>
now i have to understand why it doesn't with mine....
- [19:40:30] <tahsin>
that it didnt work with your previous one
- [19:40:43] <furibondox>
yes...
- [19:40:46] <tahsin>
well for me it dont work when you connect directly
- [19:40:54] <tahsin>
since i gues my flash drives are power hungry
- [19:41:12] <furibondox>
the pendrive is the same
- [19:41:20] <furibondox>
and the power source too
- [19:41:23] <tahsin>
yea
- [19:41:29] <furibondox>
only the kernel change
- [19:41:35] <tahsin>
yea
- [19:41:47] <tahsin>
where did you get your kernel image from?
- [19:42:06] <furibondox>
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git linux-omap-2.6

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

<SplasH>well you can upen up the program 'cheese' and see if it works
- [19:50:58] <tahsin>
<furibondox> yea that strange.. that it didnt work with the others
- [19:51:37] <furibondox>
where i can download a 2.6.29 sources for omap?
- [19:52:24] <furibondox>
my 2.6.29 sources are from TI PSP SDK but have a lot of problems
- [19:52:44] <furibondox>
because seems that are released ONLY for the EVM
- [19:53:11] <SplasH>
I only have a console-image a the moment on my beagle. I can get images from a camera with my own program, but only with 160x120 pixels. With a higer resolution I have a cpu load of 99%... And image processing is also very slow.
