IChi do you know your Beaglebone Black's hardware revision?

PCB REV6 on bottom of board under power connector, is that it?
This is a new in box BBB-C from Adafruit. Recieved last week.

kinku · 2015-04-17 12:48 am

If you look at the side it will have a serial number and space followed by Revision identifier A, B,C.
It is likely C

This is the image you need to get
Always format SD card before you write an image on it.
Do not use Winrar to unzip the image , the file you get from Winrar is not a disc image.
Get windows image writer application and write the above image file to it.
Completely disconnect BBB board from USB and power supply and insert SD card with image into slot.
Hold down the boot button ( not power or reset) and plugin the 5v power cable .
The LED will blink and then started moving from side to side like a wave then release the boot button.
Wait for 30-40 min until all lights are light up and then machine power off by itself.
Take out the SD card and power on again. You are all set.&#55356;&#57118;

I had this version, but the site address was a little different. File sizes are the same. It did load but the root logon required a password. The version you point to that I loaded does not require a password. Good. 🙂 I'm a little worried tho, the flashing only took a little more than 5 minutes!?😕 Seems ok. Took your advice and didn't use WinRAR to unpack, used 7-Zip. I've always used "Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-install" and "SDFormatter".

Now, to try Botic. It's late now so, first thing tomorrow!

Thank you very much, 🙂 don't know why the seemingly same version I down loaded didn't work. But could have been the WinRAR unpacker!

kinku · 2015-04-17 5:03 am

it is the winrar ,If you look at the file it creates it will be folder and not an actual image file. With folder structure you can not boot from any media.
dont worry about time it took to flash the eMMC. As long as you have seen the pattern of lights and at the end al lights off by itself you are good.

Can some one post a detailed instruction on how to manually edit mpd.conf
or a link to how to do it?

The easiest alternative option:
1. download file from BBB to your computer (e.g. using WinSCP from Windows)
2. edit file at your computer with editor that does not damage lines in the file (e.g. PSpad)
3. upload edited file back to BBB at same place (works with WinSCP too)

Miero ,after Boticizing the volumio I should not use windows GUI to change MPD setting in volumio rt?

I used Mieros instructions to flash Botic, but after that when I logon as root
it doesn't take botic as the password? - ssh root@IP_ADDRESS (password is botic)

Also, using - diyAudio server HTTPS page (MPD web interface) only takes me to a page that has ....

Index of /

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Name Last modified Size Description Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at 192.168.7.2 Port 8080

....can't really say I've got Botic on the BBB!?😕

Is this meant for me?
Installing over volumio?
Boy, I'm in over my head!

Setting up a music server with Cinnamon Mint was a walk in the park.

Hi!
Been following this thread for a long time now and want to thank everyone who has contributed so far!
I wonder if anyone has tried to program i2c control of the ES9018 with BBB and Botic yet? I feel like that is the last thing that is missing now to get the ultimate embedded system🙂 I have tried to look in to it myself, but the programming that is needed is too complicated for me to handle. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

Hi,
I'm trying to build a squeezelie in the Botic distro/environment:

You'll need to install ALSA development packages.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

IMHO, you are still trying to edit the default mpd.conf provided by Volumio, which is of no use with boticized Volumio. Read again miero's comments so far with full effort. BTW, this boticized Volumio is intended for I2S connection; not for your USB DAC.

Correct me someone, if I'm wrong.
