I know nothing about this but here's what I did tonight to get this going (its failed many times in the past for me!) - Downloaded https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-10-09/lxqt-4gb/bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-10-09-4gb.img.xz - Burned a card, booted and grew the partition.

Well, it looks like from the pictures those parts were removed. Sounds like somebody bought boards, modified them for their use, and decided to sell them. and the description seems to infer that. Picture clearly shows the parts are not there. Might have been a good idea to compare it to the other

James: Thanks for the detailed email, it is very much appreciated. I did have to install the correct Linux headers as well though I did not install the TI modules. I will give this a try tonight. Regards, JS On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 3:15 PM, James S wrote: > I know nothing

Total Newbie here. Bought a BeagleBone Black Rev. B from ebay for $15. It is advertised on ebay as a BeagleBone Black. While I waited for it to be delivered, I studied up on how to boot it up and access it, so I'm familiar with the process of getting it going. First thing I noticed on the ebay

My mistake, I think the second link I gave is an explanation of the PRU shared memory and not DDR shared memory. So, if you do a google search for "beaglebone pru shared ddr memory" there are lots of hits out there. You're bound to find something that makes things understandable. On Fri, Oct 14,

Hello Chris, Looks good ! I was going to ask how this differs from Andrew H's Android on Beaglebone, but after glancing at your page it seems obvious to me. I think what would be beneficial to all is an explanation how Android differs from say Debian. In the context of how the hardware

awesome! Thank you! Do you know where I can find a good example of using shared memory? I am wondering if I might be better off using shared memory instead. Does shared memory work both ways so that ARM can access the PRU memory and PRU access the ARM memory? On Thursday, October 13, 2016

All of the examples are "shared memory", including the initial code (which used shared memory and interrupts). "Shared memory" in this case meaning memory that both the ARM core and the PRU core have read/write access to. If the links William provided aren't what you are looking for, be a bit
