Re: [beagleboard] Re: numpy won't install for me

Now, that is an interesting thought. When I go out and look for instructions on downloading packages, the instructions usually only say to pip install . . . . whatever. They never specify sub directories. This is somewhat confusing for the newbies like me because installations just do their

Not only that but if you make a mistake, and render the eMMC unbootable. How would you fix it without an sdcard ? Short answer is that you can't. But with an sdcard, you'd insert the "emergency" card, revert the changes you made, then power cycle the board ater removing the sdcard. viola! problem

One more thing, sorry . . . multi-tasking. . . As Graham mentioned above. You'll probably want to start off with a Beaglebone black RevC. But my motivation in recommending this would be slightly different. I've been using an A5A for over 3.5 years, and in the last 1.5 years have been mostly using

mzimmers, Do yourself a favore and get this book: https://www.amazon.com/Exploring-BeagleBone-Techniques-Building-Embedded-ebook/dp/B00QMIYWQM It's probably not the best book for the experienced, or "Expert". But for someone new to this particular discipline. It'll be more information than you

[beagleboard] numpy won't install for me

Hi, I am running Debian GNU/Linux 8 on a BBB. I have been trying to download numpy but when I use pip install numpy the installation process crashes. I've been using the following process: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.10.1/user/install.html#id6 root@beaglebone:~# python setup.py

Thanks for the detailed answers. Do I really need to use an SD card for transferring the kernel to the beaglebone? Seems kind of cumbersome, so if there's another way to do it, I'd appreciate hearing about it. mz -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this

Re: [beagleboard] Re: question from a total newbie...

Hi William: For an expert, you are totally correct. For a newbie, the Raspberry Pi images seem to be designed to limit how much tinkering you can do with Linux itself. The tools and examples for modifying Linux itself are much better supported on the Beaglebone. Both are good for blinking LEDs

Re: [beagleboard] Re: question from a total newbie...

By the way, just for clarity. You do not need hard float for the kernel as far as I am aware. As it is my understanding that floating point math in the kernel is "forbidden". However, many userspace tools, apps, and perhaps the userspace side of any kernel module may need hard float. On Thu, Sep

[beagleboard] Re: question from a total newbie...

The Beaglebone is a better choice than say, Raspberry Pi, since Linux is somewhat locked-down on the R Pi, which puts limits what you can do with it. On the Beaglebone, there are multiple variations of Linux that are supported, and you are free to compile your own kernel variations and load

Re: [beagleboard] question from a total newbie...

By the way the beaglebone comes with a pre-installed Linux demo image already on it. On the eMMC. So no sdcard is required, but is recommended. On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 2:00 PM, William Hermans wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 11:39 AM, mzimmers wrote:

Hi, all - I've decided to self-tutor in the area of embedded Linux. (I have embedded experience, and some Linux experience, but not together). I was thinking of getting a beaglebone for experimentation. I can't be more specific, because I don't know what I want to yet, other than learn some

[beagleboard] Future proof development path for PRU on AM335x

I asked this question at TI's e2e forum, but was forwarded here due to usage of community support-only tools: What is the most future-proof development path for PRU code on the AM335x? I'm currently using pasm on a Beaglebone Black with Debian 8. Until Kernel 3.8.x, using /dev/uio0 and
