Hello Beaglebone experts, I would like some basic guidance on how to approach the beaglebone from the hardware and software point of view.
Before i start my query list ,let me say that i come from a embedded hardware background,mostly worked on bare-board projects in close-loop motor controlled applications,i am relatively new to operating systems.I have used linux once for my basic networking and file handling needs two years back. I purchased the beagle-bone black to mainly to do two things: *To familiarize/learn myself with linux and its basics features. *Learn to interface external hardware with the BBB to perform time sensitive tasks.(like control a pulse width of an H bridge,PID control loop corrections). Now for the quiry list: 1.Which version of linux should i run on the BBB.I searched many forums and the community seemed to have a mixed review between Debian,mintOS,ubantu and red-hat free edition. 2.Which programming language is most easiest to use when working with the BBB.Python,C/C++,Java ? I have mostly used C and assembly,so will persisting the the same be useful?I found some useful tutorials on the beagle bone black here <http://www.toptechboy.com/beaglebone-black/> but it is it is done in Python. 3.My final end project is to develop an on-grid inverter using the BBB,so the BBB will act as the main CPU which will interact with the other peripherals like a slave MCU(via SPI),a PT100 sensor via an i2C bus,run a 20x4 -8 bit LCD display directly from the Beagle bone black.I plan to use the dedicated PRU unit of the sitara for some of these activities. I would like to know,What are the prerequisites for doing this project? I know the learning curve for this project is big,but with a good starting point i am sure i will be able to get out a working prototype soon.
