[beagleboard] Is there any sort of automated OS upgrade possible on BBB?

As per the subject, do any of the OS options (Linux distributions rather) on BBB make it easy to keep up to date and/or upgrade version? E.g. if I install Ubuntu on BBB can I then use the standard Ubuntu upgrade options:- prompt$ apt-get update prompt$ apt-get upgrade ... and more to the

[beagleboard] Re: Failure to re-flash Beagle Bone Black

I have successfully reflashed the OS. The thing I did wrong was having anything other than power plugged into the board. I am guessing that the boot code checks for USB keyboard/mouse and/or HDMI and boots to the OS if present. I also know that you can't plug anything in once the flash write pr

Any thoughts on creating a Python3 branch? I'm not sure if that's possible given the dependencies of PyBBIO, but I'm curious as I've been trying to use Python3 for new development work, and having PyBBIO be available would be really helpful, versus recreating my own libraries. On Friday, Febru

Also, the wear leveling will attempt to spread writes across the blocks so as to prevent any one block from having a lot of writes. Unless you're doing a truly stupendous amount of writing, it's unlikely to damage the eMMC in terms of expending the write capacity. As mentioned above, you'd nee

[beagleboard] Need 16 GPIOs Next to each other on P8

Hi, I would like to configure BBB P8 with 16 (2 rows of 8) GPIO pins next to each other. They just need to be able to be set to high or low. I see P7 through P18 but I need 4 more. I am not using any LCD screen. Is it possible to reconfigure the pins? I am a BBB newbie and would appreciate

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Power Supply

The board can be powered by USB or 5VDC external power supply. But not both at the same time. Gerald On Sun, Mar 2, 2014 at 8:59 AM, Andrew Dai wrote: > I might be wrong but I think you should use the USB port for peripherals > ... get a (powered) USB hub for keyboard/mouse > > > On Saturday,

Re: [beagleboard] Need 16 GPIOs Next to each other on P8

As is indicated in the System Reference Manual, you can use the LCD pins as GPIO pins. Provided, you don't interfere with their settings during power up as they are also the boot pins. Gerald On Sun, Mar 2, 2014 at 1:32 PM, wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to configure BBB P8 with 16 (2 rows of

I will use this library. Having the standard features that arduino libraries have (steppers, servos, lcd, etc.) would be really great. I can test some of these. I know python, use 2.x, and have some arduino familiarity (but not a library geek). I have a BBB and have wheesy 7.2 debian loaded

Any chance you could upload a full image file of debian with your fix to a site like drop box or something? One that I could use Win32DiskImager to burn to a 4 gig micro sd card? I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Dan On Friday, February 28, 2014 11:44:19 AM UTC-5, Alex Gal wrote: > > H
