I require BBView 7" setup help please.

plawren1

Can't get it to work..... Can't set it up.

Beagle Bone Black.

I don't want to use a new image.

I want a clear set of instructions on how to add/compile any drivers ontop of my current image.

Tried extending the SD memory to this:

Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs       3360336 1863700   1322608  59% /
udev           10240   0 10240   0% /dev
tmpfs         101536 780100756   1% /run

/dev/mmcblk0p1   3360336 1863700   1322608  59% /

tmpfs         253836   0253836   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs         253836   0253836   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs         102400   0102400   0% /run/user
tmpfs           5120   0  5120   0% /run/lock

/dev/mmcblk1p2   3610232 1843296   1580212  54% /media/rootfs

/dev/mmcblk1p1 98094   98092     2 100% /media/BEAGLEBONE

/dev/mmcblk0p2  10190136 1750108   7915740  19% /home/bbview

 

Ideally I want to set up BB View within /dev/mmcblk0p2.

 

Tried following instructions on numerous posts that simply don't work.

 

Thanks and regards

 

Paul.

    Hi Paul,

     

    Depending on when you got your BBB, it might have an older release of Debian, or an ancient release of Angstrom, so it does benefit from being upgraded otherwise there could be an uphill struggle to get later released products to work with it.

    I don't have a BBView so cannot help there, but regarding the crash, does the kernel hang or something? It could be power supply related. Also it would be good to connect a USB-Serial adapter onto the console (serial) connection on the BBB so you can see if the BBB is still running and just the display has hung.
