Resizing the SD Card PartitionĪt this point, we have a full Debian Linux OS set up, and can connect over SSH to the BBB. Sudo /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1Īfter the script is saved, it will automatically run when the BeagleBone Black boots, so you only have to do this step once. Sudo - sh -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/nf' This will allow your BeagleBone Black to share your computer's internet connection. Configuring the BeagleBone BlackĪfter SSHing into the BeagleBone Black, save the following script into ~/profile. Insert SD card into your (powered-down) board, hold down the USER/BOOT button (if using Black) and apply power, either by the USB cable or 5V adapter.

You can do so by running this command (be sure to update the of section to point to the SD card name you found earlier!): $ sudo dd bs=1M if=./ of=/dev/sdb & sudo sync The final step is to flash the image onto the SD card. Once the image has downloaded, uncompress it like this: unxz The image we're using is the official modified Debian distro provided by BeagleBoard, so we'll download it directly from them: Downloading the Linux Image, Flashing the SD Card On most Linux distros, the df -h command should help you determine the name of your SD card. In this case, the SD card's name is /dev/disk1.īefore you proceed, be sure to eject the mounted volume: $ diskutil umount /dev/disk1s1 To find the name of the SD card on OS X, use the diskutil command: $ diskutil listĢ: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 499.4 GB disk0s2ģ: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3 You may need to create a bootable SD card with the BBB Debian Linux distro. It will have the same IP address ( 192.168.7.2)īy default, the BeagleBone's login credentials are:Ĭreating a BeagleBone Black SD Card with Debian

Next, install PuTTY (or your preferred SSH client) to SSH into the BeagleBone Black.First, follow this guide for setting up Internet Sharing on your Windows computer.

The connection process for Windows is a bit more involved.īut when you're done, it should be just as simple to connect to the board.

Sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADEįor Windows, some drivers need to be installed to allow Network-Over-USB access to the BeagleBone black. Sudo - sh -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'

To connect to the BeagleBone Black from your Linux machine, save this script as bbb.sh (or whatever name you'd prefer).Įxecuting the script will then SSH into the BBB. Linuxįor Linux machines, you will need to create a udev rule. The BBB should have an IP address of 192.168.7.2. Once you've installed the drivers and connected to the BeagleBone over USB, you can just SSH into it. You can find the instructions on the BeagleBone site's getting started page. OS Xįor OS X, some drivers need to be installed to allow Network-Over-USB access to the BeagleBone black. You will need a logic level converter to work with 5V devices, such as this one from SparkFun or this one from Adafruit.įurthermore, the Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) cannot handle more than 1.8V input, so keep this in mind when connecting to analog devices, or risk burning up your BBB.

Then, you can connect to the BBB using Network-Over-USB, and upload driver or configuration changes. You can do this easily, just by connecting to the BeagleBone Black over USB. You will likely want to connect your development machine to your BeagleBone Black while working on your code.

How to Use var Cylon = require( ' cylon ') Installing Cylon.js for the BeagleBone Black is pretty easy, but must be done on the Beaglebone Black itself, or on another Linux computer.ĭue to I2C device support, the module cannot be installed on OS X or Windows.
