<set_> Hello!
<set_> It is 7:33 CDT and I am working w/ the ServoCape!
<set_> @zmatt: W/out your starter source, I would have never got this far...
<set_> I kept up the required smbus2 import in Python3.
<set_> I have been having some trouble but I think that persistence pays the piper.
brook has joined #beagle
<set_> There is this fellow on the forums that has rewarded me for persistence in time.
<set_> His source is way better than mine, i.e. of course.
<set_> So, it is time to review things, add source for multiple servos, and try to control them via the ServoCape.
<set_> oh!
<set_> I found that my 0x34 is the i2c-0 device and not the address I needed for the ServoCape.
<set_> There is a particular address needed. I tried w/ bytes like 0x111111 but that is not collective for some reason.
<set_> I have not figure out why just yet.
<set_> So, in bytes, it should have been: 0111 1111 and not 1111 1111.
<set_> Things are so complicated now.

<set_> I have been learning about bitshifting and bitwise ideas too!
<set_> Anyway, see what you people have done?
<set_> ha.

<set_> Now, I just need to control them via a browser or a remote connection of some kind. If that is possible, send rations!
<set_> So, I could put it on the BBBW. Right, then try a server in a browser. But...how could I use it w/ a remote?
<set_> Has anyone done a am335x/ServoCape remote yet?

<Guest17> hi my name is lakshmi.
<Guest17> currently i am working on the beaglebone black board
<Guest17> in BBB rev c i am working on the EMMC.
<Guest17> In EMMC i need to store the my sensor parameters .
<Guest17> by using the TI Rtos i implemented code but its not working.
<Guest17> do you have any example code.
<Guest17> please send me that
set_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<zmatt> Guest17: for questions about TI-RTOS use TI's support forum: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum
<Guest17> i alredy contacted with the TI support. they suggested to contact with beaglebone support team
<zmatt> they're wrong to suggest that
<zmatt> can you link to the e2e thread where they suggested that?
<Guest17> can you tell me how to test the EMMC on beagle bone with TI Rtos
<zmatt> no, I know nothing about TI-RTOS
<Guest17> so how can you test the eMMC on BBB.
<zmatt> but eMMC on the BBB works exactly the same as eMMC on any other AM335x device. your question is TI-RTOS specific, not beaglebone specific
<zmatt> people generally use debian linux on the BBB
<zmatt> that's what's supported here
<Guest17> through linux you proved the EMMC am i correct
<zmatt> "proved" ? eMMC is the primary boot device
<zmatt> it's not like it's some kind of obscure peripheral, every beaglebone normally boots from it and stores all data there
<Guest17> I mean read write functionality.
<zmatt> it's an eMMC, of course it has read-write functionality
<zmatt> like, that's what it's for
<zmatt> any problems you might be having with eMMC is a TI-RTOS problem, not a BBB problem, hence you should ask TI support
<Guest17> how can i test on windows.
<Guest17> In BBB using AM335x processor is using MMC1 is connected to EMMC. In widows how to test EMMC. Thats my question actually.
<zmatt> you can boot the BBB into linux from SD card and then ssh into it to test the eMMC, or flash linux to eMMC and boot into that
<Guest17> did you test on windows .
<zmatt> your question doesn't make sense, your host os is irrelevant for what the BBB is doing
<zmatt> it's like asking "did you test while wearing an orange t-shirt?"
<Guest17> please understand my question.
<zmatt> then ask a question that makes sense
<Guest17>  flashing linux into EMMC and boot into that.
<Guest17> i am asking the baremetal test.
<zmatt> i.e. you mean ti-rtos, which IS NOT SUPPORTED HERE, ASK ON THE TI FORUM
<ds2> things pass more often when tests are run while wearing a white shirt
<ds2> ;)
<Guest17> BBB is designed the BBB or ti  designed the BBB
<zmatt> Guest17: TI designed and supports TI-RTOS, which is what your question is about
<zmatt> again, eMMC on the BBB works _exactly_ the same as eMMC on ANY OTHER AM335X DEVICE, any questions about how to use eMMC in TI-RTOS are not BBB-related, they're TI-RTOS questions
<Guest17> no my question is this beaglebone black board designed by beaglebone am i correct
<Guest17> without testing the TI rtos how can you design the BBB .
<zmatt> the BBB is designed to run linux
<zmatt> additionally, TI (not beagleboard.org) supports running TI-RTOS on the BBB
<Guest17> what about the windows system.
<ds2> designing the BBB is trivial... lining things up to purchase the BOM at a usable price is tricky
<Guest17> without testing the TI RTOS on BBB you realeased the product
<zmatt> Guest17: TI-RTOS is a product by TI supported by TI
<ds2> it is software
<ds2> you might as well as about QNX and your OS of the day
Guest17 has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<zmatt> Guest17: the beaglebone ships with debian linux, has official debian linux images from beagleboard.org, and supports linux-based development. third parties may also have different software stacks running on the BBB such as openbsd (by volunteers) or TI-RTOS (by TI) but these are not supported by beagleboard.org
<zmatt> if you want to use TI-RTOS, ask TI for support
<zmatt> they list the BBB as an officially supported development board, therefore any support questions about using TI-RTOS on the BBB should go to TI
<zmatt> why is this so hard to understand for you
<zmatt> if someone on the TI support forum sent you here, that was simply a mistake by that person

<set_> is there a way to handle changing /dev/ device names on the BBB or in Linux in general?
<set_> I keep searching for answers and they all lead to udev.
otisolsen70 has joined #beagle
<set_> Off to test. I think I have a lead!
set_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<jfsimon1981_b> i believe it's general
<jfsimon1981_b> you find this lookigng at the linux kernel, sources and documentation.
<jfsimon1981_b> There are specifics integrated ie drivers and device tree, some parts are developped specifically, you can see them in the bbb source tree
<zmatt> the general answer is indeed udev, specific answers would require a more specific question

<Ljubica> Hello everyone, Im using this first time, so maybe its not right place to ask, but I would like to find out which manufacturers in Europe are using BeagleBorad,  Is there any chance to get the list or some information... Thank You.
<jfsimon1981_b> hi i don't think you'll find a comprehensive list example if i buy from Farnell and integrate into a product, not necessarily public data
<jfsimon1981_b> you can check although the stock values and get a rough idea of production rate, and peraps monitor the red (industry) which is mostly used by professional i believe
ft has quit [Quit: leaving]
<zmatt> Ljubica: what do you mean by "manufacturers using BeagleBoard" ?
<zmatt> like, if you mean who are using beagleboard products embedded in their own then obviously that's not information you're going to find since there's no reason for manufacturers to share that information, like jfsimon1981_b said
<zmatt> if that's not what you meant then clarify
<Ljubica> zmatt exactly that is what i would like to know
<Ljubica> Thank You very much
<zmatt> like, the beaglebone is just a component in our product just like any other, why would we mention that anywhere?
<zmatt> we also don't publicize where we buy our resistors ;)
<Ljubica> Yes I understand, Im new in this sector of industry and im trying to get information which i need. I mean, i tried to ask and find out
<Ljubica> :)
<zmatt> typically you'll only find such information public for hobbyist projects
<Ljubica> is that visible only if I post some project ?
<zmatt> ehh I don't mean there's some kind of centralized place that tracks such things, I mean more that hobbyist projects are more likely to write about their project and how it was constructed
<jfsimon1981_b> it's pretty good design, old stable and reliable
<jfsimon1981_b> i believe is a more accurate answer
<zmatt> you could browse https://beagleboard.org/p to find other people's projects related to beaglebones
<jfsimon1981_b> though there are subttleties to it for rugged products.
<zmatt> I mean, "old" depends on *which* device you're using obviously
<jfsimon1981_b> sure the bb black is a couple years
set_ has joined #beagle
<set_> nope.
<zmatt> set_: ?
<Ljubica> Thank you both for sharing time and information with me jfsimon1981_b zmatt

<set_> https://pastebin.com/sMtZBKKT is the link.
<set_> I am trying to use udev to handle setting /dev/ device files as what I desire.
<set_> systemd/systemd on github says "not out bug"
<set_> out = our
<zmatt> and rightly so, why were you bugging them?
<set_> B/c...I thought they controlled udev in Linux.
<zmatt> yes, and?
<set_> Well, the udev man page(s) are lacking.
<zmatt> that rule is nonsensical
<set_> I know!
<zmatt> what on earth are you trying to do?!
<set_> I am setting a rule to put all sd* device files in /dev/ as /dev/mmcblk*
<set_> I got close.
<zmatt> it makes no sense to want to do that, please stop trying
<zmatt> /dev/sd* and /dev/mmcblk* are different kinds of devices
<set_> syspath parameter missing. <<< That is the error so far.
<set_> I understand.
<set_> Fine.
<zmatt> this is an XY problems (https://xyproblem.info/)
<set_> PCI versus scsi.
<set_> Blah.
<set_> XY Issues are so '99.
<zmatt> fix whatever is motivating you towards this misguided goal
<set_> Fine.
<set_> Okay. I will just give up for no reason.
<set_> I found an older model of what "works." From http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#terminology, there is a USB Card Reader example.
<set_> No go.
<set_> Card Readers are scsi and not PCI or internal. Blah. That sucks.
<zmatt> you don't need to give up on the X in the XY problem, you should give up on the Y (create mmcblk* symlinks for sd*) since this is not the way to solve X whatever it may be
<set_> Argh. Okay, okay. I will just relenquish my thoughts on this one.
<set_> It is still fascinating how udev can change the name of devices.
<set_> w/ my PCI usb card reader, everything just worked like a charm.
<set_> Now, it is bogus to alter things and make images for fun.
<set_> It is actually passed bogus and literally impossible.
<set_> I sold that old computer and USPS lost it. Do you believe it?

<Guest3> I have just got the a new BeagleBone AI 64, I am not getting any Display via mini DP port (used DP to HDMI convertor for connecting the monitor), I have connected 5V DC 5 A power supply, keyboard&mouse as per the start up instruction. Please let me know what can be the issue
<zmatt> an actual active DP to HDMI converter?
<zmatt> note that the bbai64's DP port is *not* a dual-mode DP/HDMI port hence you can't use a passive DP-to-HDMI cable
CrazyEddy has joined #beagle
florian has quit [Quit: Ex-Chat]
<Guest3> I have used blueRigger mini DP to HDMI active  convertor
<zmatt> maybe it's just mislabeled and not an actual active converter?
<zmatt> do you have a link to the product you're using? I'm not really finding anything, their website only seems to have a simple mini-DP-to-HDMI cable
<zmatt> it really sucks that the terminology is so vague, since every DP-to-HDMI cable/adapter/converter is technically active, even the ones people generally refer to as "passive"
<zmatt> jkridner: ahhhh why oh why did TI implement non-dual-mode DP instead of dual-mode DP /o\
<zmatt> this is going to create a never-ending source of confusion
<Guest3> Very true
<Guest3> Thank you for the inputs
<zmatt> what you want is a converter that's compatible with a non-dual-mode displayport output
<Guest3> I figuring out how to use it without tethering  mode - i.e stand alone mode
<zmatt> I mean, it's just a linux system like any other... tethering via usb is just a way to establish a network connection to it (but obviously you can also just use ethernet instead)
<jkridner> why indeed. :-( maybe royalties? i think their primary use case is eDP.
<zmatt> does DVI require royalties?
<NishanthMenon> music on me tv please :P
<zmatt> fair... I mean, TI has embedded HDMI transmitters before
<zmatt> I don't know how much complication dual-mode DP is... I just know that not making the DP dual-mode is going to cause endless confusion and frustration
<zmatt> since the ubiquitous DP-to-HDMI cables/adapters won't work

<jkridner> https://docs.beagleboard.org/latest/_images/display-adaptors.jpg isn't exactly right.... nothing active required for miniDP to DP.
<zmatt> but are they all genuine converters? like I said, technically every DP-to-HDMI is active: https://imgur.com/a/0WZ61Hg
<zmatt> they even contain a boost converter to generate 5V from 3.3V :P
<zmatt> yeah the image seems misleading, the warning only applies to conversion to HDMI
<zmatt> preferably people should use displayport if possible to avoid any worries
<zmatt> I guess electrical converter vs protocol converter would be better terms :P
<zmatt> jkridner: like, this thing claims to be an active adapter: https://www.amazon.in/BlueRigger-DisplayPort-DisplayPort-Enabled-Projector-Streaming/dp/B07VDL8VKB ... but the product details say "Compliant with VESA Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2" which makes me highly suspicious
<jkridner> hmmm... no .com equivalent?
<zmatt> no idea, it was a google search result
<zmatt> (I tried switching country but that just sends you to the amazon homepage so that's pretty useless)
<jkridner> s/used/use/
<jkridner> works nicely.
<zmatt> you may want to start tracking known-good vs known-bad adapters/cables :)

<set_> They do this w/ algorithms too instead of using prorpietary Dolby and DTS in boxes. I am not saying this is exactly a match but generally similar.
<zmatt> ???
<set_> I know my cable it good. mini-DP to DP.
<set_> I tested it. it works perfectly if you guys need a source of good cabling.
<zmatt> if you're using native DP there's no problem, it's just conversion to HDMI that's a problem
<set_> Oh. Gotcha.
<set_> Okay.
<set_> I understood.
<set_> But yes sir, the mini-DP to DP cables work well. You should have seen my screen glow w/ the Boris.
<set_> has anyone been using GPS w/ the UART2 recently on the am335x/BBB? I cannot seem to make gpsdclient work any longer. I restarted the services that are available from gpsd.service and .socket but I receive "cannot connect" as output.
<set_> Is it a kernel 5.10.x issue and I need to research more or is gpsdclient on /dev/ttyS2 no longer a viable option for GPS?

<kongn> set_ are you sure you are getting data out from usart2?
<kongn> Have you tried to connect to the port and send out data to see if the approprate pin is connected?
<kongn> A simple way may be to hook up an led between 1.8V (or 3v3) and the tx pin of uart 2
<kongn> then whenever you send data, the tx should pull low and the led flicker ever so slightly

<set_> I never knew you could lite up LEDs w/ UART!
<set_> That is a new one to me.
