Updates regarding BeaglePlay and BeagleConnect Freedom Zephyr support, MicroPython and BeagleBoard Rust Imager

#beagleplay #beagleconnect_freedom #zephyr #micropython #beagleboard #rustlang

So I've been flashing different versions of BeagleBone's debian OS on my #BeagleBoneBlack and #BeaglePlay and I have feelings.

Current Images:
BeaglePlay: beagleplay-debian-11.7-xfce-arm64-2023-05-18-10gb.img.xz
BeagleBoneBlack: am335x-debian-11.7-xfce-armhf-2023-05-03-4gb.img.xz

As I have my first Cybersecurity exam tomorrow, of course I decided to flash some new SD cards to check out the new images and how stable they are.

Short version: very stable
Long version: coming next!

I think I got bluetooth working on #BeaglePlay and #BeagleBoneBlack. I just have no idea why that worked or what it was I was actually doing. Or--literally any part of that.

But! It's up!

I still cannot quite work out how to get the bluetooth up on #BeaglePlay, #BeagleConnectFreedom, or #BeagleBoneBlack I dowloaded the bluetopia stack from TI and was looking at the SDK and sample programs, but this is way above my max working knowledge.

Currently looking at the BeaglePlay at 70% of 16 GB eMMC memory, I'm trying to decide how useful the GUI really is. The only thing I use it for to note I have a desktop for backup.

Okay, here's the thing.

#BeaglePlay #BeagleBoneBlack

1.) I got both hostaps up, changed the SSIDs and passwords so I can enable the bb-server on each and direct connect to them.
2.) Bluetooth not working is going to be an ongoing theme with me here, just warning you now. It's bothering me.

Carry on while I try not to break this.
