BBB Setup
How to setup the Beaglebone Black from a fresh install.
download latest DEBIAN 9 image:
https://beagleboard.org/latest-images
Debian 10 wont work. Java doesnt install properly and
tinc also does not work properly (tun0 automatically gets
set to down on startup)
download balenaEtcher https://www.balena.io/etcher/
Use it to flast the .img.zy image onto the beaglebone
Paste in the config_pins.sh and receive_internet.sh scripts
recieve_internet.sh:
# receive internet from usb0
ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2
route add default gw 192.168.7.1
echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf
config_pins.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Enables CANbus
config-pin p9.19 can
config-pin p9.20 can
sudo ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000
sudo ifconfig can0 up
config-pin p9.11 uart
config-pin p9.13 uart
config-pin p9.24 uart
config-pin p9.26 uart
# print status of pins
config-pin -q P9.19
config-pin -q P9.20
config-pin -q P9.11
config-pin -q P9.13
config-pin -q P9.24
config-pin -q P9.26
edit /etc/network/interfaces
uncomment block below.
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
add "vcan" to /etc/modules. add the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto vcan0
iface vcan0 inet manual
pre-up /sbin/ip link add dev $IFACE type vcan
up /sbin/ifconfig $IFACE up
This is some sort of bug, but to get the VPN to work on this specific version of debian for the BBB, you need to manually add tun0 tun the interfaces file:
auto tun0
iface tun0 inet static
address 10.0.0.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/grow_partition.sh
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=1048576
# chown root:root /swapfile1
# chmod 0600 /swapfile1
# mkswap /swapfile1
# swapon /swapfile1
append to /etc/fstab:
/swapfile1 none swap sw 0 0
sudo apt-get install default-jre
lots of packages are out of date, so run an upgrade. install psmisc (useful killall tool)
remove unneeded stuff (nodejs, cloud9 ide, nodered) you may need to "install" c9-core-installer libnode-dev libnode64 nodejs first, and then uninstall (apt-get is confused)
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install psmisc
systemctl disable nodered.socket
systemctl disable cloud9.socket
apt-get install c9-core-installer libnode-dev libnode64 nodejs # dumb step since apt-get cant uninstall them till its the latest version?
apt-get remove --purge c9-core-installer libnode-dev libnode64 nodejs nodejs-doc bb-node-red-installer
