Got the BeagleBone
Oct 20th, 2016, 5:00pm
 
The trade came in and I got the BeagleBone Black. Currently I am connected to it by the USB and see it on the browser. But it is blank, nothing there, just an empty webpage. He must have deleted all the personal and important information from the device, which means I have to get an SD Card and install the OS from scratch.
 
Comparing it to the other one some think was used for BitCoin Mining, there are 3 chips and the ports missing on it. Other than that, the two are virtually the same. Interesting, I know that Newark/Element 14 does R-Pi modifications on the board for custom units, I under if they would do a BeagleBone Mod, and for how much. I would have to explain what is needed and why. Depending on the costs, I will need to investigate this.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

I was able to study it some more. This guy who had it wiped it clean of ll the good stuff it would have had when it comes out of the factory and put on a minimal Debian Linux on it. Just a command line console with simple web service, noting more.
 
I got the proper Linux to put on it - Angstrom, as it comes from the factory, I just need to get a SD Card to put it onto, boot it up and then flash it to the BeagleBone's Flash-RAM area. In the very least, it does work. Now if I can find it, I need a Micro-HDMI Cable to connect it to a monitor. As is, I'm just running it on the PC through the text console (Putty console program).
