Welcome the Fall 2014 Beagle Class to the group

[Mark A. Yoder]

The purpose of this posting is to announce that I'm once again teaching 
an Embedded Linux class based on the BeagleBone Black [1].  I'm 
teaching as open-source as I can and have have posted many of course 
materials on eLinux.org [2] and github[3].

I'm always open to ideas on what topics to include in the class and 
suggestions for interesting course projects.  For example we are starting

BoneScript today and hope to be writing simple kernel module 5 weeks from 

now.

Class, please respond to this posting.  Others, please welcome my class.

Looking forward to it!

Current hot topics:

* 3.14 kernel with USB DMA, 3D graphics support and more fixes/updates

* Capemgr/overlay, cape and userspace pinmuxing (cape-universal) support

* Simplified PRU usage

* Debugifying BoneScript

* Python library improvements

* Demos of cool stuff coming out of http://beagleboard.org/gsoc and http://www.ti.com/ep-mcu-msp-mcugen-mspblog-20140823-mc1-en#DIY_with_TI:_Intern_Edition_.2F.2F_2014

Hi Mark,

Quite an interesting course...

Would like to know if it is available for self-paced remote-learning ?
While I have some C programming exp, I have no classic CS degree/background (Pre-reqs: No OS internals & H/W experience).
If not possible/eligible, pl. suggest books/courses to meet the prerequisites.

Thanks.

[Tim Cole]

This course does look interesting. Is there any way to audit the course -- uStream archives or something like that?
Cheers, Tim

Looking forward to the class!

Tim, Venkat:

  You are welcome to follow the course, but I don't have any videos of the lectures.  I suggest you follow the Calendar and Homework[1] to see what we are doing.

All my slides are posted in the pptx directory on github[2].  We are also using our own Google Group[3] for class related discussions.

As a shift worker (in Australia too) this looks like a great set of notes, to go through in my own time.
As for subjects to cover... hmmm.

The BBB with GPIO pins lets you toggle single pins at a fair rate, with minimal effort.
What about groups of pins? 4 bits wide helps some LCD controllers, 8 bits is common for data, DACs can be 12 bits or more.
How fast can you read? There are plenty of questions about speed limit of reading BBB ADC inputs.

If students have access to test equipment, it can be educational to measure the speed at which you can toggle a single pin, and compare that to the clock rate of the CPU.

Should be a lot of fun.  See you in class.

Hi class,
Lurker here. But don't let that put you off, the members of this group
are a great bunch of hoopy froods who know where their towels are!

All the best with your studies.


Pete.

Enjoying the labs! (Though not the homework so much!) :P

I have worked on an Arduino Mega, and the BeagleBone is interesting to learn as well.
