What pitfalls should I watch out for that could cause the system to hang or malfunction?
Not what can go wrong, but one approach to dealing with it if it does: Our system has safety implications if it should fail. It accepts messages from canbus devices, outputs to a paging transmitter and to a web server, and accepts commands from the web server. There are safety net provisions both in the app itself and in the firmware of our cape. The app continually reports various statuses to the cape firmware. Depending on the problems detected, the app itself can power-cycle the paging transmitter or canbus power to reboot those devices via relays on the cape. Likewise, the cape firmware can restart just our app, or Linux, or power-cycle the entire BBB, depending on the perceived severity of the problem. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
