2022-12-18 I was able to load the old 3.20 (2013) version from ChipSee for the LCD cape today and test the graphics and sound. I found the image online, but it's exactly the same one I had already on the CD that came with the cape. I think it's Debian or Angstrom based.
Debian 11 is available. I downloaded an image of Debian 10.3 and tried it, but of course, it does not have any drivers for the cape.


Debian 11 is available.
There are also Ubuntu images available, I have 20.04-5. (No graphics, just the server version) See https://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu

Latest revision as of 03:39, 20 December 2022

Rev C (2014) has 4GB flash on board so it comes with Debian pre-installed. My older board has 2GB but I can use a MicroSD card for additional space.

Rev C BBB's are available for $55 from various and sundry including Sparkfun and Adafruit and Mouser.

The official site is http://beagleboard.org/

TI Sitara processor http://www.ti.com/tool/linuxezsdk-sitara

Reason to use BBB instead of RPI? Android used to be my answer. I don't have a good one right now, just using it because I have it.

Capes

Device Tree Overlays: https://learn.adafruit.com/introduction-to-the-beaglebone-black-device-tree

Code: https://github.com/ArcadiaLabs/chipsee-bbb-exp


I really want to be able to use this cape, because I paid money for it and it has so much functionality.

http://Chipsee.com/ 7" LCD touch screen includes

   7" Capacitive Touchscreen; 1024 x 600 resolution
   5-point capacitive touch, with Armorplate Glass
   3-axis digital accelerometer
   1 audio out
   1 mic- or line-in (configurable via Jumper)
   2 RS232 ports
   2 RS485 ports
   1 CAN bus
   Buzzer
   5 User Keys
   Power button, Reset button and LED's
   5V DC input (5.5/2.1mm coaxial style)

I probably bought mine at Logic Supply, but they are gone now too. They had downloads for it.

Debug cable

I just ordered this serial debug cable for $10: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12977 Works for Raspberry Pi, too.

I need to look at the generic adapter I bought a couple years ago to see if it does 3.3v.

Options for operating systems

Android

Someone released Android 10 for the BBB.
