As for Android, when installing Debian, you are asked to validate your choice before
you start the installation process, as shown in the following screenshot:
This will take a while; wait until the
Done
message appears.
The connection and usage is pretty straightforward; we find the system that we had
in the previous chapters with MediaDrop. With Debian, you will have fewer things
to learn and you can install it finally. When you think about which system to install,
this is something for you to consider.
All in all, a good idea can be to install MediaDrop and servers to
the Debian OS with the Chipsee display, so you can have all the
servers and a media player as well.
From SSH, the credentials to connect to the Debian OS are as follows:
•
User
:
debian
•
Password
:
chipsee
Installing and using TI EZSDK
Texas Instruments is the manufacturer of the BeagleBone Black controller.
Actually, they did a great job of giving exhaustive documentation and even
their own version of Linux dedicated to this board. TI's version is for those
who want to learn the hardware parts. Execute the following commands:
tar vzxf prebuilt-chipsee-bbb-exp-ezsdk-20131210.tar.gz
cd Linux-EZSDK/prebuilt
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdf
sudo ./mksdcard.sh --device /dev/sdf
After the board is powered on with the user button, a nice Linux and TI's logo will
make you wait for a bit to load the special environment called a
matrix
.
