Hi There, Im trying to get a basic servo project running on my BBB
I had installed Debian 8.3 (the image provided on the beaglebone page, running the 4.1 kernel) kernel on it and tried to get PWM working without success (apparently both the adafruit and greycat python bbio libraries only work on 3.8), interestingly enough bonescript also refuses to work. I have tried reverting to earlier images via microsd without success: -The Device doesnt become reachable via ping to 192.168.7.2 after several hours and attempting to power cycle -The "External Drive" does not connect to windows upon boot -While attempting to flash the emmc, the USRleds do not cycle in the 'cylon' style. I've tried to make the Debian 8.3 image work, via trying to install an older kernel via apt without success (the device appears to be operating but is unreachable via USB/ping/etc): "sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.8.13-bone70 linux-headers-3.8.13-bone70 mt7601u-modules-3.8.13-bone70" I really DON'T know what to do -- I would have hoped that PWM would work out of the box on the default Debian 8.3 image. Perhaps there's something I need to do to make it work that isn't apparent to a novice like me. Unfortunately, rolling back to a 3.8 kernel via imaging or apt doesn't seem to allow the BBB to communicate with my windows machine after attempting to do so, and only 4.1 kernel images seem to work successfully in that sense, with the caveat that PWM doesnt work. Currently running on my emmc: BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-8.3-console-armhf-2016-02-11-2gb.img Currently running on my microsd: bone-debian-8.3-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-01-24-4gb.img No clue what to do, I consider myself a novice in linux, but fairly technical. At this point I'm ready to throw this thing out the window. Any and all help appreciated! -Jeff -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
