Re: [beagleboard] Re: BBB Power supply over pin Header

Hi, I'm seeking some clarification myself. I'm looking at the pinout under "expansion headers": https://seeeddoc.github.io/Beaglebone_green_wireless/. I'm looking to produce a cape as well (any resources, tutorials, or walkthroughs on producing a cape for a beagleboard are 100% welcome). What I

That 4.14 kernal definitely improved the boot times compared to what I was seeing and what I posted here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/issues/10 However, I am still getting a boot time of close to a minute (~32 seconds for both *dev-mmcblk1p1.device* and *generic-board-startup.

2018-03-06 Thread Troy Weber
So I'm relatively comfortable using *dd* on a linux system to copy the contents of an sd card to an image file. Previously I had run the command... sudo dd status=progress bs=512 count=$((8192+6955008)) if=/dev/disk4 of= /path/to/image/storage/`date +%Y-%m-%d`_image_name.img ... and that usually

[beagleboard] SD card errors on hard reboot

Hello! I have an application running on the Beaglebone Black. It runs from the eMMC because we need to mount a blank SD card and occasionally store data or video on the external SD card. Here are some details to jog ideas: - using a Bealgebone black - connected to a powered hub and runnin

nodiratime. If this works, I'll be curious why. I guess I don't know enough about inodes just yet to understand why this might be a solution. On Monday, March 19, 2018 at 3:05:22 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Mon, Mar 19, 2018 at 4:55 PM, Troy Weber >

I should also say that adding noatime does not appear the solve the issue. One configuration file in particular that is on the card appears somehow corrupted after the aforementioned reboots. It's attached. On Monday, March 19, 2018 at 4:03:23 PM UTC-7, Troy Weber wrote: > > Prob

Well we need to be able to pull the plug without damaging things. Is the best option then to have a battery system that allows BBB to listen for loss of power and gracefully shut down? Are there alternative methods? Troy Weber Mechatronics / Software Developer troywwe...@gmail.com 707-761-1644
