08:08 <set_> I fixed the buggy code!

08:29 <jduchniewicz> congratulations :) what was the problem?

08:43 <Daulity> hey

08:44 <Daulity> how fast is earlyprintk? What I gather from the source is that every thing is printed immediately

09:38 <set_> Oh!

09:39 <set_> My source was calling 80% duty in the else statement instead of listening to my commands.

09:39 <set_> So, I made it listen!

09:41 <set_> Here: https://www.hackster.io/functt/beaglebone-green-gateway-and-motor-bridge-cape-5683a8 is the link of my quick write up plus it shows how I changed the source.

09:41 <set_> There is a script in there that handles the error of my source directly going to the else statement. I can now use if and elif.

09:46 <set_> So, I input an integer. I then get feedback. And...my stepper makes a move in a loop for one go around.

09:47 <set_> Before...the error/bug was that my catchy else statement kept ruining my good time.

09:49 <set_> Slowly and surely, I will make something more complicated. For now, this is all I have currently.

10:07 <set_> Oh...I was actually calling empty assignments instead of calling my input to make an output.

10:44 <Raajeshwar> Hi, I am using Beaglebone AI board. Whenever I connect the SD card and boot it, the content of the board is flashed to card and not the other way around. Board is not booting (with or without SD card). Can anyone help me on this?

11:58 <zmatt> Raajeshwar: that sounds like you changed the /boot/uEnv.txt config file on the eMMC to turn *it* into a flasher

12:00 <zmatt> however regardless of the contents of eMMC, the BBAI will still always prefer to boot from SD card over booting from eMMC, so if it's not booting from SD card then your SD card isn't bootable

12:01 <zmatt> make sure you have a correct image, and use Balena Etcher to flash it to sd card

12:02 <Raajeshwar> Thank you zmatt. Yes I did change the file. But now couldn't get into it.

12:02 <zmatt> that's because you made eMMC effectively unbootable by turning it into a flasher

12:02 <Raajeshwar> Used this image: bone-debian-9.9-lxqt-armhf-2019-08-03-4gb.img.xz

12:02 <zmatt> that's not an image for the BBAI

12:03 <Raajeshwar> am57xx-debian-10.3-iot-tidl-armhf-2020-04-06-6gb.img.xz Will this work?

12:04 <Raajeshwar> I mean, will this image get me in to the board instead of getting flashed again?

12:04 <zmatt> if you boot a normal sd card image then it'll simply boot from sd card

12:05 <zmatt> (after it's possible to mount the eMMC and undo your change in its /boot/uEnv.txt)

12:05 <zmatt> flashers are listed separately on https://beagleboard.org/latest-images under "Flasher Debian images"

12:05 <Raajeshwar> Thank you.

12:06 <Raajeshwar> By the way "normal sd card image" means? There are list of images right?

12:06 <zmatt> regardless of whether you want to flash to eMMC or boot from SD card, you'll want the latest (2020-04-06) AM5729 Debian IoT or IoT TIDL image (depending on whether you want TIDL or not)

12:06 <Raajeshwar> Ok

12:07 <zmatt> AM5729 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 8GB SD IoT TIDL <-- that's a normal sd card image

12:07 <zmatt> AM5729 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 16GB eMMC IoT TIDL Flasher <-- that's a flasher image

12:07 <Raajeshwar> Thank you. I will try with this.

12:07 <zmatt> both of those are, as the name says, IoT TIDL images

12:08 <zmatt> if you don't need TIDL then I'd suggest the non-TIDL image... though for some odd reason there's only a flasher image for that listed (AM5729 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB eMMC IoT Flasher), I don't know why the normal (non-flasher) version of that is missing

12:08 <zmatt> (the TIDL images use kernel 4.14, the non-TIDL images use kernel 4.19)

12:09 <Raajeshwar> Yes I am not in need of TIDL

12:09 <zmatt> unless you've got important data on eMMC you want to rescue, I'd suggest just getting the "AM5729 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB eMMC IoT Flasher" then and use it to reflash eMMC to a working state

12:10 <Raajeshwar> Ok. I just want to turn the board working for now.

12:11 <Raajeshwar> So I can use flasher image itself.

12:11 <zmatt> if you download the flasher image, flash that onto sd card, and boot the BBAI, it should proceed to automatically reflash eMMC

12:11 <zmatt> (once it's complete (beaglebone turns off), remove sd card and then it should boot normally again)

12:12 <Raajeshwar> Ok. I will try it.

12:14 <Raajeshwar> Thank you for your valuable inputs.

13:46 <tigerxyz> Hi GoodM, How to disable firmware loading for HDMI: [ uboot_overlays: loading /lib/firmware/BB-HDMI-TDA998x-00A0.dtbo ]. I added disable_uboot_overlay_video=1. It didn't take

14:59 <zmatt> that is the correct way to disable that overlay, and it works on normal images

15:03 <zmatt> can you pastebin the output of: sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

20:49 <kveremitz> technical question for those who use matrix .. is the beagleboard matrix 'bridged'/connected to matrix.org or whichever is the default 'service'?
