First Off...
So far in exploring the BB-AI, I like the potential of what it can do. But the first is the heat issue. I think this is solvable, but much consideration needs to be given with the usage of capes. The software quality is high. It uses Debian directive which is much like Rasbian or the Pi. I found a fairly good video that is a review of the board.
Skip forward to about 4:00 and watch from there. I am oing to use this to post pointers to other things (vision of course LOL). So stay tuned for more revelations to come. In the meantime, Use the comments below for criticism, wits, and any other observations. I will of course address them as time permits...
Keep up the faith and we will conquer this together...
Updating Linux... 10/06/19
After thinking about the troubles of using the 16 GB eMMC flash, I decided to pursue another method much safer and less error prone.
I solved this one by the following steps:
- Downloaded the latest image for Beagle Bone AI from BeagleBone.org
- Used Etcher to burn the image to a fairly large SD card. I used a good named brand...
- Booted the Beagle Bone AI with card inserted.
- Checked space with df -h
- Run shell /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh
- Reboot BB-AI.
- Check space again with df -h You should see / expanded to the rest of the card.
- Run sudo apt update
- Run sudo apt upgrade
- Now if you want, flash eMMC. I chose not to do this step. I would be careful since you could run into troubles if the card now exceeds 16 G
- Enjoy the new and improved Linux!
Btw, I intend to dump the card to a file in case I wish to start from this point again...
