@aynusbay depends on the images you choose to put on it - the choice of u-boot and MLO is important - if you decide to use the version for diagnostics, yeah it will be similar to first use.

@hydrohobbyist - yes, the pserial is an alternate to pusb - it could be used instead - i personally have not created a video around it yet :(

@all thanks..

This is a good video...I've read the comments by jadonk...good critiquing! Thanks for posting and I wish you well on the advancement of your BB project!

[nishanthmenon]

Gee thanks.. I have wished i had a little more time to clean up the video though.. anyways, there are couple of things planned:

a) get the usb2tty working. - probably on u-boot v2?

b) redo the video with that.. might be faster

need to consider dumping u-boot v2 though.. if only we could make u-boot v1 work as good..

Autoprogramming:

It already does, I just explain what it does in the video..

[ayunusbay]

after recovery steps does the BB work as first use ?

hi

I followed the Build Steps then Flashing steps but one of the Flashing Step it stops like ;

sh: lsof: command not found

Output:

loadb -f /dev/ram0

loadb returned with -2

X-load Beagle>

after this line no anything else

so I cannot write other steps. What is the problem I can't solve

[hydrohobbyist]

Is there anyway of sending the x-loader from a windows terminal? i dont have linux at my disposal nor the experience to manipulate files on a live cd. I have tried using kermit protocol but it says failed.

[hasany89]

it works! thanks!

great work.

Hey nice video..

i was planning to get a beagle board and ubuntu on it... im not much of an embedded system guy so i dont really know how these things work..all i know so far is it runs ubuntu..but it doesn't come with wifi inbuilt so i was wondering if an external usbwifi card would be supported? are the device drivers processor specific as in will the normal drivers work on an arm procsor? i am trying to build a device which can do packet injection.will it run when attched to the beagle board?
