Hardware Reference
In-Depth Information
Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to connect to your BBB.
BeagleBoard.org
has streamlined
the out-of-box experience, so there is a minimal setup on the device itself. You learned that
the definitive reference manual for the BBB is the
System Reference Manual
, which should
be your first stop for hardware-related questions about BBB. You learned about Emacs and
how to create an embedded development environment with Emacs. Lastly, we identified
several resources to find additional information on cryptography, electronics, and Linux.
In the rest of this topic, you will build projects around the most popular and trusted soft-
ware security packages: Tor, GNU Privacy Guide, and Off-the-Record messaging, all of
which are actively used and maintained. In the next chapter, we'll use Tor and the BBB to
help strengthen a censorship-resistant network.
