Jason, this is excellent! Having something along the lines of what you call out here out of the box would be great, especially if it was very clear how to "configure" said setup w/o having to resort to "legacy" (e.g. ifup/down/config) tools.
This would also be especially useful with future/planned boards that have builtin WiFi and/or BT. And as a stretch, maybe even an iOS/Android companion app to help with setup/onboarding. I understand that the BBB is supposed to be an embedded systems "learning" platform, so maybe having something so consumer friendly is asking a lot. Even so, there seems to be an inordinate number of issues posted here concerning initial networking setup, so maybe something like this isn't so far off track as many people struggle with this. Addressing the whole "onboarding" issue is also a huge deal for anyone considering what it takes to make a consumer friendly device. A reference implementation would be a great learning experience. There are not a lot (maybe no) open source solutions to this problem. I do know that the AllJoyn folks have defined an OnBoarding service spec to help address this, but there isn't much as far as implementation here yet. There may be other efforts (OIC?), but I am unaware of them. Good thoughts! ba On Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at 8:39:24 AM UTC-8, Jason Kridner wrote: > > Perhaps we need to fully define the requirement such that experts can > provide the lowest memory and least complex solution? > > -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
