I've never used BeagleBone's before and I work in a lab with no internet connection, trying to get started with BeagleBone Blue boards for a project. The lab has Windows 10 computers, USB cables, 12V adapters, SD card readers, and an external CD drive. I have access to another facility with a secure internet connection for downloading and I can use an external CD drive to transfer files. I thought I could download everything off of the secure connection, transfer to the lab, and install but I'm having problems. When I tried to run the executable to install the Windows drivers, it failed because of no connection. Also I tried to install Chrome, required for the browsing the web server running on the board, and it also failed. I was able to install Putty and connect using an SSH terminal (192.168.7.2, debian, temppwd). But it didn't look like their was anything loaded. I found a bin folder in the root directory that was empty.
The Getting Started instructions that came with the board says to connect the board to a computer with a USB cable and then connect to the internet. I obviously can't do that and I'm beginning to wonder if these boards will work at all without an internet connection. I hoping someone has a clever solution for me to work with these limitations. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
