Hi All I am trying to edit and save the /etc/network/interfaces file on beaglebone black board, the message i am getting while saving as" readonly", even though i am a root user. How to change the readonly to readwrite. Thanks & regards, Madhu -- For more options, visit

Yeah stop using those ratty cables you get from hot cellphones. Man up and pay the "big bucks" at Walmart. Kidding. lol. On Friday, July 1, 2016 at 10:59:44 AM UTC-7, Bryan Wilcutt wrote: > > I have a somewhat custom BB distro I've made and all is well except one > thing I've noticed that is

And yes I agree I really cringe at device trees, they are just so damn hard to debug, I don't know any tools that can help us debug it. On Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 7:03:29 PM UTC-8, Ashwini Bhat wrote: > > Ok, I am going to try the IOT image, this is the link: >

[beagleboard] Re: How to Send email via Beaglebone Black?

OK, best way (and this really is an IoT question if you look at it) is to look at the most efficient (ie. fastest, least labor intensive) way of doing it. BBB's are small, so please don't try to install an SMTP server and stuff on it when you can do this. The mutt and the HTTP API approach are

[beagleboard] Re: High speed encoder input capability of BBB?

OK, I just got my BBB so I gotta talk a bit out of my butt (having not done this yet myself). What you need to do is get it "interrupt driven". However you do it. I'm thinking there is a GPIO pin that has this capability (and realistically accessible via the OS in whatever dev environment you

I thought I'd also put this in too. Once you know how, the process to get your tethered BBB running is slick and fast even for the beginner. Don't read this if you are running the BBB with an HDMI monitor and keyboard. However if you are old waterfall guy like me and like your UN*X host with

[beagleboard] My Windows Drivers for BBB won't install

I had a problem with my core drivers for the host not installing (so you can teather the BBB to a desktop via USB to miniUSB on the BBB). It just came up with red X's every time. There are a lot of "fixes" out there that are pretty flakey so I thought I'd post the most linear path I found.

[beagleboard] BBBW as a hot spot.

Is there an acceptable, easy way of setting up a BBBW as a wifi hot spot using its built-in wifi? By easy I mean like an installation type process rather than a laborious build and make process? All I want to do is serve web pages to wifi tablets at short ranges. Just how good is the wifi in

[beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black won't boot sometimes

Ok, experimented with it some more and came up with a basic protocol for getting it to boot. What you do is you kind of fiddle with the power button and keep plugging and unplugging the USB cable (I'm powering my BBB through the miniusb to my Windows 10 desktop). What you do is you ground

[beagleboard] Re: Beaglebone Black won't boot sometimes

I've worked on a lot of boards over the years, so I have a strong sense for the kinesthetic issues that even custom electronics can have. I've had this problem myself (and am still having it from time to time). My spider sense tells me that the BBB is right at the accepted maximum current draw

[beagleboard] Re: How do I keep a program running after disconnecting from ssh?

There is kind of an involved way in C that is how it is done (similar to how Apache runs as a long-running daemon). What you do is you fork() with the parameters set up such that it invokes a daughter shell process that survives after the parent process is terminated. The reason why the

Love Python, however I am a dyed-in-the-wool GCC C/C++ programmer for decades.My question has to do with GCC. OK, I realized that I needed to configure the BBB R3 so that its P8 and P9 pins were set for UART (got that far myself). I kind of took an overkill approach. What I did was I copied

I successfully update to the new kernel, it was version 45, not 44 so even a little bit newer. After updating the DT with the pru include, I rebooted. No ethernet! Also, I can tell from the LEDs that something is very wrong. The heartbeat is there, but one of the other LEDs is blinking steadily
