RTOS/BeagleBone Black

Jesse Heffinger

Attempting to create a microSD bootable image to load and run on my BeagleBone Black developement platform. After installing Ubuntu am335x SDK v6.03 provided from the TI site, I run create-sdcard.sh successfully and attempt to boot the device with the provide pre-can filesystem and boot loader (no kernel re-compiles). According to the blue LEDs the board boots from the microSD but I do not have serial or ethernet communication to the BBB board. This behavior is not seen when booting from the pre-loaded eMMC (Debian) image as serial and ethernet are available. Any help you provide for instruction with loading the BBB board with the pre-built and developer built images from TI provided SDK would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jesse

Hi Jesse,

You had "RTOS" in your post title, but you mentioned using "create-sdcard.sh" which is a script to create a Linux bootable SD card. Just to clarify, are you running Linux or RTOS from the SD card?

Thanks,

Jianzhong

I've tried both the Linux image from the non RT SDK and the RT-Linux SDK as well but neither allow for board access through serial or ethernet through the bootable microSD create-sdcard script.

I assume you followed these instructions to boot the BBB with Processor SDK: http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/latest/linux/How_to_Guides/Target/How_to_Boot_Beagle_Bone_Black_with_Processor_SDK_Linux.html.

Are you connecting the BBB to the host using FTDI cable as documented here: https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:3.2_SDK_On_BeagleBone_Black?
