[beagleboard] Re: Update Kernel + Distro

The easiest way is (IMHO) this: 1. download the latest flasher image from here: http://beagleboard.org/latest-images (the Debian image is my strong recommendation -- Angstrom is an evolutionary dead-end) 2. place it on a MicroSD card 3. flash the BBB On Tuesday, July 1, 2014 2:

Re: [beagleboard] Can't make UART work with Python and AdaFruitBBB

I don't understand your complaint. If you're using the Adafruit BBIO library, it creates the necessary UART devices in the device tree on the fly (by placing its own ADAFRUIT-UART files in /lib/firmware and writing to /sys/devices/bone_capmgr.*/slots). So it really is pretty easy to use -- it's

[beagleboard] Re: Dude, where's my BeagleBone Black?

Just as a note, we had our purchasing department price quantity 1,000 of the BBB using the Rev C. documents with a San-Diego-based company we already use for other PCBs in our products. They quoted us $128 per unit. So you can see that (a) the $55 for the Rev C board is quite a bargain (thank

Completely agree with David. Angstrom seems to be a dead end, IMNSHO. On Wednesday, May 28, 2014 1:04:14 PM UTC-7, David Farning wrote: > > I would recommend that you upgrade your machines to the new Debian > based release. I think you will find that there is more information > about Debian tha

[beagleboard] Re: Developing for BeagleBone Black

Using Python -- along with the Adafruit BBIO Python library -- works quite well, and gives you all the development power of Python and associated native and third party libraries. Lighter weight than Java or C++, much higher level than C. I can't speak to Lua (no experience with it). Easy to
