| 09:42 | topi` | jnettlet: am I supposed to get a "Freescale" device on my host's "lsusb" with the usb-otg flashing cable? I see nothing even though I connect a HB Pro to my macbook (the uppermost usb port) |
| 09:42 | topi` | I double-checked that the cable connections actually work |
| 09:42 | topi` | with a multimeter |
| 09:42 | topi` | I removed the SD card from the Pro (it's fused to boot from SD) |
| 09:51 | jnettlet | topi`, do you see the usbstack trying to initialize the device? |
| 09:51 | topi` | I cannot see that unless I boot linux natively, not via virtualbox |
| 09:52 | topi` | maybe I'll just try with another board.... is there a difference in functionality between Hummingboard and HB2? |
| 09:52 | topi` | I have one HB Gate here, but it's running a long test |
| 09:53 | jnettlet | topi`, not in regards to the USB-OTG. You are plugging the cable into the top port next to the ethernet jack on the device correct? |
| 09:53 | topi` | yes, top port |
| 09:54 | topi` | but the device is already fused, to boot from SD |
| 09:55 | jnettlet | that is fine. If the primary boot method fails to be detected then it will fallback into usb otg recovery mode. |
| 09:55 | jnettlet | This is the output I get in dmesg. http://pastebin.com/dRvhZBrW |
| 09:55 | jnettlet | and via lsusb, Bus 003 Device 057: ID 15a2:0061 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite SystemOnChip in RecoveryMode |
| 09:57 | topi` | hah, it is recognized as a HID device! ) |
| 09:58 | jnettlet | yes |
| 09:58 | topi` | I now tried to connect it to a i.MX5 based laptop (!!) running old Ubuntu Maverick , but still nothing shows on dmesg |
| 09:58 | topi` | the kernel is 2.6.31. ouch! |
| 09:59 | topi` | maybe it can't supply enough +5V? |
| 09:59 | topi` | when I cut the red wire, it was a bit thin on the copper hairs... |
| 09:59 | topi` | not enough amperage -> i.mx6 can't start up |
| 10:01 | jnettlet | topi`, power the HB independently. That is why the resistor is on the VCC line |
| 10:02 | topi` | OK. I'll try that |
| 10:03 | suihkulokki | topi`: efika mx? |
| 10:04 | topi` | success! I see the Rigel device |
| 10:04 | topi` | suihkulokki: yes, efikamx from 2009 or so :) |
| 10:05 | jnettlet | success! great |
| 10:06 | topi` | I guess the D+/D- are also correctly done, because it was able to echange vendor/productid information |
| 10:06 | topi` | otherwise there would be no usb handshake of any kind |
| 10:07 | suihkulokki | topi`: I have one as well, it permaboots now into gcompris for my son |
