BeagleBoard

From Crashcourse Wiki

So you just got your new [BeagleBoard], ripped it out of the shrink wrap and ... um, now what? Fear not. Here's my attempt to lead readers through the initial setup, with an eye towards turning this into a formal presentation at this year's upcoming [Ontario Linux Fest].

Yes, there's a lot of BeagleBoard info out there but, in a sense, there's almost too much and it's scattered in too many places (he said, while creating yet another web site -- ah, the irony). So I'm keeping this short and focused, in order to get readers over the hump and get their board up and running. In addition, it's quite possible that this content will form the basis of the embedded Linux course I've always dreamed of writing. So ... enjoy.

P.S. Did I mention [Ontario Linux Fest]? Yeah, I'm sure I did.

VIDEO! And I can't wait until I have the time to start playing with my [TI pico projector]. PowerPoint presentations right out of your shirt pocket. Whoo hoo!

I'm sorry ... was that too geeky?

BONUS TRACK: I'm currently working on version 2 of the BeagleBoard validation page here.
