Stack 15.4 Linux gateway using Beagle Bone Black wireless

[neil.m...@gmail.com]

Hello all, 

I am currently working on implementing this project :

http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tiduci9c/tiduci9c.pdf

I am using a Beagle Bone black wireless  instead of the Beagle Bone black, and I am using a CC1310 Microcontroller from TI.

Now , I am currently working on the following section in the above link:

3.1.2.1 BeagleBone Black SD Card.

Here are the steps stated in that sections:

1. Download the prebuilt TI Linux processor SDK SD card image am335x-evm-linux-xx.xx.xx.xx.img.zip from http://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/AM335X/latest/index_FDS.html (where xx.xx.xx.xx is the version number of the latest Linux Processor SDK).

 2. To program the micro SD memory card, see the instructions in Processor SDK Linux Creating an SD Card with Windows

When I navigate to link to try and find the correct image , I fould the one below to be the right one:

am335x-evm-linux-05.02.00.10.img.zip

Only used when creating an SD Card on Windows

1051208K

However, the image is even over 16GB , and in the hardware requirements they say that 8gb MicroSD card is required. Is the above image the right one for this assignment? In case it is , then an 8GB MicroSD card is not big enough as specified in the assignment. If this is not the image I should be using , I would like some help please to find out which one it is. Thanks a lot.

Neil Mustafa.

Hi Neil,

It seems to me that 1051208K is approximately 1 GB.

Anyway - not knowing anything about images provided by TI - perhaps it would be easiest to just try it out?

Apologies, the uncompressed image is 16GiB. It looks like you might need a 32 GB SD card for this.

Ugh: This a major brain fart by TI.. It's a "16GB" image, but all my 16GB cards are 15.1/.2/etc.. So after flashing it on a 32GB card we see:

voodoo@hades:~$ df -h /media/voodoo/rootfs/

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sdf2        16G  6.1G  8.4G  42% /media/voodoo/rootfs

So there "16GB" image uses 6.1G and 8.4G of blank space..  If they want a 16GB image, just adjust it down to 15GB...

Regards,

Based upon the "Used" value, it would even fit a real 8GB card -- IF
they had properly sized the partition when creating the image file...
