Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #beaglebone, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I'm forever wanting more/reliable #linux #freebsd #serial #console. While the latest 1U servers have working ipmi and BMCs, there are still many older systems that do not, plus #beaglebone #rpi and random ESP32 things.
    USB serial has gotten better, with many devices now having actual serial numbers (without which, the ports come up randomly), but there are still many challenges. RS232 (+-12V) vs 5V-TTL, 3.3V TTL, and even 1.8V TTL. NULL modem vs not. RTS/CTS desired, but often a problem.
    I wonder if it's possible to (via small FPGA?) to do such a thing.
    Maybe it just needs to be an expensive debug tool that tells people who didn't live through the 1980s how to hook stuff up. Maybe @azonenberg has a notion. Are there I/O pins that can do -12V/+12V or 1.8V? Obviously when debugging, one wants to listen to all pins for a signal, figure out how strong it is, and which is the TX and RX, and then reprogram.... and only then exceed 1.8V.

  11. Lilbits: Mozilla kills Pocket and Fakespot, ASRock crams a desktop Arrow Lake chip into a 1.92 liter mini PC

    Eighteen years ago a Firefox browser extension called Read It Later was launched, providing a way to save web pages to… well, read later. Over time the service added features, changed its name to Pocket, launched mobile apps, and got acquired by Firefox maker Mozilla.

    Now Mozilla has announced plans to shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025. Users can export (some of) their data until October, […]

  19. Well, this is annoying. Somewhere between v6.9 and v6.10, one of the serial ports on the #beaglebone black stopped working properly. It has something to do with DMA. I guess the AM33xx has reached the stage of gradual deterioration in kernel support where little things keep breaking but nobody notices because all the developers have moved on to newer, shinier things.

  29. Today I'm reading through a fantastic technical book "Mastering Embedded Linux Programming" by @csimmonds and Frank Vasquez which is easy to read and pitched at exactly the level I hoped. Most examples are for the #BeagleBone black (mine will have to come out from its retirement drawer soon!)
    This will definitely make it easier than the previous floundering around with my #sbc collection and let me do more of what I want with them!

  34. Let’s see, how long has the #beaglebone existed?! A while. So … why is there still a vendor kernel for such an old chipset, from such an old and established vendor?

    This is the simplest question in #OpenSource right now. There are of course other questions, but I think we should start with the simple ones.

  39. Another not-so-scrappy find today: this was apparently part of a display stand in a Vodafone shop. It's a #beaglebone #sbc mounted on a metal plate, with an LCD plus touchscreen on the other side. It just boots to this simple marketing presentation.
