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.

    @Hans Georg's post cured my issue:

    Well its very time consuming:

    Tried different images and they all have their problems. For instance - one image has the uEnv.txt in /boot/uboot yet another has it in /boot. Tried migrating the help from another post to the boot dir but didn't work. One image I can get BBView to work but can't update headers.

     

    There is a lack of consistency with this product. Build on releases without breaking previous functionality. At the moment I'm guessing!

    I want an image I can get the BBView to work AND update headers (basic stuff...) so I can update the drivers for wifi. Sounds simple? Well please tell then b/c I'm wasting effort here.

     

    Cheers

     

    Paul.

    By 'update headers' I guess you mean Linux/kernel header files and not anything related to header/GPIO pins, right?

    The files can be installed using an apt-get command, see here: Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack Debian - eLinux.org

    (search for 'installing kernel headers' on that page).

    I've not tried it, but looks like the commands are there.

    And another thing that differs between the images is some I can extend the file system memory memory but others I can't:

     

    resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2  only works on some images. Took me days to figure that one out.
