06:03 <jfsimon1981> ok

06:04 <jfsimon1981> Are you in ti dev team ?

06:38 <zmatt> I'm just a random beaglebone user

06:38 <zmatt> I'm not affiliated with TI nor beagleboard.org

11:49 <set_> I am a person, too, that likes the BBB. I even try to make things!

11:49 <set_> Slow motion but still, I get around to it.

11:50 <set_> I am going to be on the radio soon, i.e. blasting homemade music and trying not laugh! And all b/c of the BBB!

11:51 <set_> Blah. not to laugh. SOrry.

11:55 <set_> Side note, my speaker works again. I can start to listen to casts of people describing their BBB related, Linux related biz. Yes!

12:01 <set_> Speaking of BBB-type machines here...is anyone working on a machine w/ BBB-brains? If so, can get chat about it? If not, that is okay.

12:03 <set_> So, forget whatever I typed earlier. Excuse me. Is matrices and vectors the way to go for movement of machinery?

12:05 <set_> I am trying to configure something w/ the BBB and my lack of practical knowledge bestows me in regards to the type of code needing to be written for adjacent movement, corner to corner, and so on...

12:10 <Siegurd> Hi! Can someone help on the thread with "Could not initialize timer (err -19)" and " [ 7.077594] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..." errors? https://github.com/beagleboard/buildroot/issues/4

12:12 <set_> Hmm. Are you past WiFi yet? I mean it. Did you manage to get WiFi access yet?

12:13 <Siegurd> PocketBeagde doesn't have Wi-Fi onboard

12:16 <set_> Oh. Nice. Are you just trying to boot it so far? Oh and do not worry, my questions lead to ideas.

12:23 <Siegurd> yes

12:24 <set_> Okay.

12:26 <set_> So, when you are using "make menuconfig", wait. Let me get my records.

12:30 <set_> Okay, okay. I know make menuconfig is how to start. So, when you apply that command, where are you putting your files. The records from buildroot should be put where they need to be located.

12:32 <Siegurd> Emm.. all the settings are located in https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/blob/master/configs/beaglebone_defconfig

12:37 <set_> Try w/ make menuconfig that exact name, i.e. beaglebone_defconfig

12:37 <set_> This is sort of guess work for me since I do not own the PocketBeagle.

12:38 <set_> Siegurd: Have you been through the entire set of available options under the "make menuconfig" command?

12:40 <set_> I know this is nagging but I suggest you try it. I went through all of them to get labeling down pat. Once labeling is done, then one can search/research what exactly each label stands to mean/definition.

12:41 <set_> It took me a long time. But, in the end...it booted! I can still boot the board if you want to view my set up.

12:41 <set_> I can save the boot process in a file or something long those lines.

12:52 <set_> Okay. Scratch what I said. The build has been erased off the SD Card for my BBBW. I just remembered.

12:53 <set_> I will boot it real quickly, hopefully, and tell you how I did it.

12:53 <set_> brb

12:53 <set_> or

12:53 <set_> bbl

13:13 <set_> Okay. So, I am in make menuconfig now. I cloned the git repo of buildroot.

13:13 <set_> I am going to post it to SD Card on my end to start to get a feel for it again.

13:16 <set_> then, switch to -b feelabs

13:17 <set_> So, try this idea: https://bootlin.com/doc/training/buildroot/buildroot-labs.pdf

13:18 <set_> It will get you booted at least. Do you have the SD Card or are you booting from...forget it. It does not matter. Both or either will work.

13:24 <set_> So, try that idea. If you get booted, good. If not, ask away. There are many different things to get and pick from in the menuconfig utility. Some go well together while others will fail your build.

14:06 <Guest49> HI

14:06 <Guest49> May I know is there any samples project which include sram and rtc in BBB ?

14:50 <Guest49> HI

14:58 <Siegurd1> have an progress!Something is was wrong with uboot config. Repleasing files on SD solved uboot timer problem. https://github.com/beagleboard/buildroot/issues/4#issuecomment-984699480

19:16 <Guest18> hello, I am trying to connect my beagle to a monitor using microHDMI to HDMI cable, the monitor recognizes that a device is connected but has an error message "No HDMI signal from your device. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake it up. If there is no display, press the monitor button again to select the correct input source."

19:16 <Guest18> Clicking and moving the mouse does not do anything. How can I fix this?

19:19 <Guest18> I have tried two different microHDMI to HDMI cables, one of them is brand new from adaFruit so I think it should be a reliable cable. I tried installing xfce, and followed the HDMI instructions from here, https://forum.digikey.com/t/debian-getting-started-with-the-beaglebone-black/12967#BeagleBoneBlack-HDMI

19:19 <Guest18> still no luck :/

19:24 <Siegurd1> Did you flash proper image with GUI?

19:25 <Guest18> ah rip, I bet that's it. I flashed the second image from here https://beagleboard.org/latest-images

19:25 <Guest18> is there a way to add a gui to this image?

19:26 <Siegurd1> doubt

19:27 <Guest18> so no?

19:29 <Siegurd1> just make a backup of your data/settings and flash another image

19:31 <Guest18> gotcha thanks, should this one do the trick? 'Debian console images via microSD card (without flashing the eMMC)'

19:39 <rcn-ee> If you want a gui, don't use a flasher or console.. it's a really tight fit with 2GB or 4GB eMMC's..

19:40 <rcn-ee> if you want a gui, use: https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2021-12-01/buster-lxqt/

19:42 <Guest18> I have it booting off of a 128gb uSD card, is that link to the gui still the best option?

19:43 <Siegurd1> true programmers don't use GUI. Console is the way! (Sarcasm) :)

19:44 <rcn-ee> if you want a gui, it's the latest image with all the fixes... but it's still a single core Cortex-A8, so the gui is going to be slow..

19:48 <rcn-ee> Guest18, reading above... the base image should still show a 'console' over hdmi... usually with some lcd monitors, or cheap hdmi cables, tehre is not a common ground, if your monitor has a usb port, try connecting the beagelebone black to do that... that might get the screen to work..

19:48 <rcn-ee> hdmi cable quality is really shit..

19:50 <Guest18> from the beagle uHDMI to a  USB port on the monitor? I'll have to see if I have a converter, I don't think I have uHDMI to USB

19:51 <Guest18> thanks for the tip

20:00 <rcn-ee> Guest18, no some lcd/monitors add a usb hub/etc, if your monitor has one try it, just connect a usb cable..

20:04 <Guest18> ah no dice

20:08 <Guest18> the beagle doesn't detect the usb connection to the monitor

23:07 <zmatt> rcn-ee: well, it's not all on the cortex-a8, the limited memory bandwidth and very limited display controller also don't help ;)
