@123PSI Your an idiot. 1) The man doesn't have an ESD Station, he's working with what he's got. 2) The thing that we worry about them in the industry is not that they're conductive, its from idiots that use them over & over again to where they become a wrinkly mess in thus generate STATIC. Defeating their purpose(why we don't use sandwich bags). 3) A better option yes would be to use the pink variation in direct contact. Pink on the inside, grey on the outside(old electronics ESD saying).
@nveid83 This is old comment but...geeze, what is with people on youtube and name calling? I'm just trying to help out with some friendly advice, those beagle boards run ~$150 last I checked. Besides, I never suggested he get an ESD station, or buy something expensive. He has a bare circuit board (under power!) sitting on a slightly conductive material, it may cause problems while the board is running. That's it... take a chill pill.
@123PSI Those shiny bags are not conductive on the outside. only on the inside as it's metal laminated plastic. The totally black ones on the other hand are conductive on both the in and outside as they are made from conductive plastic.
@mrmacthree i have the console image. I tried installing x11 but really had trouble with it. It didnt find a few packages and some other weird problems. What package should i exactly install?
that's the EQUIP USB->Serial converter right? I've noticed you are powering from the USB OTG port. I read that if you boot the Angstrom distribution off the OTG port you get a Kernal panic message since the SD that comes in the box doesn't support OTG boot. But if you get a 5V power supply it boots without issues.
You know that anti-static bag you have the board sitting on is slightly conductive right? That could cause problems.

hey. great video. helped me. can you tell me how i can install GUI on this? What all should I install (probably xserver?) to get GUI on this.
Thank you.

@suar123123 The Angstrom demo image has a GUI set up already. But if you have a console image you could probably just install x11

@suar123123 I used a demo image with x11 already on it. I have never installed a GUI on the Beagleboard so I don't know what you need
