Re: [beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black and Chipsee 7 LCD running Android

2013-11-05 Thread Bill Mar
Special Computing is now offering Chipsee Capacitive Touch 7 LCD as a
complete kit that includes BeagleBoneBlack board with microSD card that
boots a demo image of your choice (Android 4.1, LinuxSDK, WinCE6, WCE7),
along with support DVD containing open source files and documentation.

 When I got the board I received a CD with the images and sources on it. I
 set up an Ubuntu VM to build on and followed the instructions that came on
 the CD to build. I ran into some errors building. In the end I found the
 answer and wanted to post here in case someone else has the same problem.

 The instructions give the following command for getting all the required
 packages:

 $ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
 \
 zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
 x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
 libxml2-utils xsltproc minicom tftpd uboot-mkimage expect

 I found that this was missing 2 packages: libc6-dev-i386 and lib32z1-dev
 so I added them. This is the final command:

 $ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
 \
 zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev
 ia32-libs \
 x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev lib32z1-dev
 \
 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
 libxml2-utils xsltproc minicom tftpd uboot-mkimage expect

 I hope this helps someone else avoid the 2 days it took me to finally
 track this down. Now that I know to look for this kind of thing I hope it
 won't take me as long to figure out stuff like this.

Re: [beagleboard] Ideas for Mass Flashing/Testing

2014-07-21 Thread Bill Mar
Here at Special Computing, we use our custom serial booter for our initial
power up test rigs before moving on to NFS boot.  Its easier to scale up
these networked test rigs that doesn't depend on too much working on the
board as power is first applied (there may not even be a microSD on our
boards).

Re: [beagleboard] Soldering JTAG connector with Element14(Embest) version BBB failed

2015-03-23 Thread Bill Mar
https://specialcomp.com/beaglebone/

On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 9:36 PM, Claud Xiao xiaozih...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi,

 I tried to solder ARM20cTI20 JTAG connectors with Element14’s BBB but
 failed, twice (hence two boards broken). After some investigations, I think
 it’s not my fault but is manufacturer’s problem. *Element14’s version and
 CircuitCo’s version are really different in this issue. *

 As you may know, BBB hasn’t JTAG interface on board unless you manually
 solder an extra ARM20cTI20 connector to its P2. There’re some tutorials on
 how to do that:
 http://www.tincantools.com/wiki/Flyswatter2_BeagleBone_Black_How_To
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JmHn7aN2FU

 I have lot of experiences in soldering and never failed before. But this
 time is different. Although I strictly followed these tutorials, no matter
 how long I keep the soldering iron on the connector’s pins to heat adherent
 solder, the solder on the pin will never glue with the P2. I tried many
 times and some other methods (even with different kinds of solder irons)
 but stilled no success. I also tried to directly paste some solder to P2
 but it’s pretty hard to adhere to. Some solder even became sphere other
 than adhere the bottom pins. Anyway, now two boards’ P2 were destroyed
 while two ARM20cTI20 connectors was consumed away.

 After carefully compare images/video in tutorials with the boards I have,
 I found the main difference is, there isn’t any solder covered P2 pins in
 my boards.

 Let’s take a look at Adafruit’s pictures on BBB:
 CircuitCo’s version: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1876 (out of stock)
 Element14’s version: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1996

 And in SeeedStudio:
 CircuitCo’s version:
 http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/BeagleBone-Black-p-1505.html (not rev C)
 Element14’s version:
 http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Embest-BeagleBone-Black-RevC-Singleboard-Computer-p-1860.html

 Take a look at P2 on the back of the board. There’s a huge difference that
 CircuitCo’s P2 pins are covered by solder while Element14’s are not. Note
 that all tutorials used CircuitCo’s version. I also highly doubt
 Element14’s pins are covered by some solder mask which prevent the solder’s
 adherent.

 My question is,

 1) Is there anyone who successfully soldered it on Element14’s BBB before?
 If you are, how do you achieve that?

 2) *Is there any way to buy CircuitCo’s BBB rev C?* At least Amazon,
 Adafruit, SeeedStudio, Sparkfun are not. MakerShed’s picture is CircuitCo’s
 but it hasn’t any manufacturer information. Consider that Sparkfun’s
 picture is also CircuitCo’s but their products are Element14’s, I don’t
 think picture is trustworthy.

 Thanks your guys!

Re: [beagleboard] Future of BeagleBone (Black)?

2015-05-21 Thread Bill Mar
There are indeed two camps - the bleeding edge that loves change and the
trailing edge that wants stability.  God bless both camps as they depend on
each other for a viable ecosystem.

Thanks to BeagleBoard open source and parts/doc public availability, we can
attempt to tackle the perils that we believe is a better trade-off than
building everything ourselves.

Special Computing offers BeagleBoneBlack with or without logos for both
camps which we can build/test ourselves and offer to the public.  This
allows us to be independent to offer options like industrial temp plus
variations like 1GB DRAM, Wifi, other processors, etc.

 Right, and it leads to a paradoxical situation where old, slow

 The industry is willing to pay for such guarantees, but most of the

Re: [beagleboard] Volatility Statement/Letter

2017-03-04 Thread Bill Mar
Special Computing routinely provides Letter of Volatility with our "NoLogo"
boards for commercial use and are treated as proprietary information. Our
customer tends to issue their own form letter for their vendors to fill
out. Letters of Volatility are used to assist in defining procedures to
safely sanitize the equipment prior to removing the equipment and/or
releasing the equipment for use in another area of operation.
