And yeah, we could also be using bare metal hardware in tandem with a beaglebone for even better performance. But that would also require C / C++ at minimum, and honestly is not needed for our own purposes. On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 2:43 PM, William Hermans wrote: > > > On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 12:

2017-05-22 Thread Graham
The IO pins used by UART5 are, by default, assigned to driving an LCD screen. You will need to reconfigure the IO, so that LCD/video is disabled, and the pins are re-assigned as UART I/O pins. You will need to modify the boot file and device tree. Start searching about how to edit the /boot/uEnv.

If the target is a Linux machine, you will have fewer communications problems, if you cross compile from a Linux, rather than a Windows environment. If you must run on a Windows-64 machine, then I recommend you install Oracle VM Virtualbox on Windows 64. Install Ubuntu on the virtual machine.
