I seem to be unable to install LXDE to ubuntu when it is booted from the 
eMMC, not enough space.  Is there a lighter gui environment that I can use?

[beagleboard] Re: Using microsd card on beaglebone black

2015-03-12 Thread Ray Madigan
What I am trying to accomplish is to run a single java application on the 
beaglebone.  The java application extends JFrame so it needs a minimal 
window environment.  The application also uses sqlite database.  

What I would really like is for the OS on the beaglebone to be able to 
access a mounted file system on the microsd card.  All that I have read so 
far tells mewhen the  beaglebone is loaded from the eMMC then the os 
can't/won't use the microsd card.  In order to have enough storage to run 
the minimal windowed environment, I assume it to be LXDE, the beaglebone 
will have to reside on the sd card.  Is this correct, or do I have to read 
more?

How long should it take?

I used the image 

BBB-eMMC-flasher-debian-jessie-lxqt-armhf-2015-03-08-2gb

and after 3 hours the led lights are running from one ent to the other and 
the display is showing

[  1  ]  // not exactly correct because I can't copy/paste it.

This is why 'we' provide Debian Wheezy based lxde images for the 2gb
and 4gb bbb's..

It does take some effort in package selection to make sure it'll fit
in the space we have and still be usable.

For ubuntu, start only with lxde-core, but that will probally go over 2gb...

 if i had the 4gb rev c all my troubles would be easy :)  


So i guess i will look at debian, since rev c ships with it.  if it isn't 
enough i'll try the micro sd card.  If the  micro sd card is too slow, I'll 
have to move to rev c.  At least i will be able to develop with what i have.

The eMMC on the rev c is slow too..  ;)

 lxqt implies the qt runtime libraries are already available for 
 development.  That would be much better.  I will look into it tonight. 


Thanks for all of your help.
