DriveboardApp on BBB

To install DriveboardApp on the BeagleBone Black first make sure you have installed a Linux image that has the serial port enabled. A fully preconfigured and recommended image can be found in the Setup Linux on BBB Guide.

Once you boot the BBB with this image it wants to connect to an AP with the following settings: SSID: "the internets", Password: "itpinthehouse". A simple way to gain a network connection to the BBB is to setup an Android phone hotspot with these settings. Alternatively you can also use a mico-USB cable to connect to the BBB. On Linux this usually works out of the box. On other OSes some driver may be necessary.

Next ssh into the BBB and with "ssh lasersaur.local" and password "bone" and the do the following:

You now have a fully configured BBB with the UI at http://lasersaur.local. Note that you may also have to flash the firmware to the Driveboard. This can be done from the UI's main menu.
