Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to connect anything to the secure network.
I'm only allowed to download and write to an external CD drive. I'm working
on getting permission for limited internet access in the lab, where I can
temporarily connect for updates only, no browsing. I believe I'll have a
chance to try it out this coming week.
I think you are correct about the drivers, I probably don't need them.
Reading through the Getting Started guide, Step 2: Enable a network
connection says that operation system drivers won't be necessary with the
latest images. I think the image that came with the BBone Blue is recent
enough.
As I mentioned, I can SSH using PuTTy into the BBone using the BBone
wireless. I haven't tried WinSCP yet but I'll try to that on the lab
computers as well. I was able to get a helloworld program working:
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
printf("hello world");
}
Ultimately, I want to use the BBone Blue to drive some servos with PWM
signals. I'm search for c program examples to toggle the onboard LEDs and
use the servo motor pins.
