BEAGLEBN: SimpleLink Sub-1 GHz Sensor to Cloud - SD Card?

Brian Antheunisse

Part Number: BEAGLEBN

Hi guys,

My customer is having some trouble with the SD card included in the element14 bundle of our TIDEP0084 reference design. We arent exactly sure what is wrong with it but the discussion has been documented in this E2E post.

It is apparently pre-loaded, so I can't tell if they can just get a new SD card or if they need the pre-loaded one, and who preloaded it, and with what? (since they bought it all from a distributor and it is technically beaglebone based)

Figured I should at least ask someone on the beaglebone forum.

Thanks,

Brian

Hello Brian,

What is the problem with it exactly?

Did they insert the SD card and booted up the device liked described here: www.youtube.com/watch and www.ti.com/.../swru533.pdf ?

Or are they following this: www.ti.com/.../TIDEP0084 ?

If they are following the latter, they might have corrupted the SD card, or maybe flashed it with the incorrect image. This demo should be an out of the box experience in which all they need to do is plug everything in and not worry about the contents of the SD card until they are ready to start digging into code and start developing.

Regards,
AB

The second one, and it seems they corrupted the SD card.

So, can they follow the directions in the TI Design guide with any old 8GB SD card? or is there some way for us to get a second pre-loaded SD card?

Thanks,
Brian
