Neon Jumper (AkeemKaleeb) Mac OS

Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway is a low cost, open-source, community supported development platform for developers and hobbyists. It is a joint effort by BeagleBoard.org and Seeed Studio. It is based on the classical open-source hardware design of BeagleBone® Black and developed into this differentiated version. The Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway includes two Grove connectors, making it easier to connect to the large family of Grove sensors. The on-board HDMI and Ethernet are removed to make room for these wireless features and Grove connectors.

All in all, I love the display on the Neo Jumper and again, it's the same as the LCD used on all of the Easy Motion bikes. It also has a built in trip meter for measuring distance. The supporting systems on this bike all tie together well and feel natural to use. The twist throttle on the right handlebar is intuitive. Tons of awesome Michael Jordan HD wallpapers to download for free. You can also upload and share your favorite Michael Jordan HD wallpapers. HD wallpapers and background images.

The Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway is a combination of Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green and Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Wireless, equipped with both Ethernet and Wireless connectivity.

Hardware Overview¶

Dimensions¶

The Dimensions for Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway is:

• 89.0mm x 54.6mm x 19.6mm

Pin Map¶

Each digital I/O pin has 8 different modes that can be selected, including GPIO.

65 Possible Digital I/Os¶

Note

In GPIO mode, each digital I/O can produce interrupts.

PWMs and Timers¶

Note

Up to 8 digital I/O pins can be configured with pulse-width modulators (PWM) to produce signals to control motors or create pseudo analog voltage levels, without taking up any extra CPU cycles.

Analog Inputs¶

Note

Make sure you don't input more than 1.8V to the analog input pins. This is a single 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with 8 channels, 7 of which are made available on the headers.

UART¶

Note

There is a dedicated header for getting to the UART0 pins and connecting a debug cable. Five additional serial ports are brought to the expansion headers, but one of them only has a single direction brought to the headers.

I2C¶

Ainsi soit-il mac os. Note

The first I2C bus is utilized for reading EEPROMS on cape add-on boards and can't be used for other digital I/O operations without interfering with that function, but you can still use it to add other I2C devices at available addresses. The second I2C bus is available for you to configure and use.

SPI¶

Note

For shifting out data fast, you might consider using one of the SPI ports.

Getting Started¶

STEP1. Plug in your Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green via USB

Use the provided micro USB cable to plug your Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green into your computer. This will both power the board and provide a development interface. Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green will boot Linux from the on-board 2GB or 4GB eMMC.

Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green will operate as a flash drive providing you with a local copy of the documentation and drivers. Note that this interface may not be used to re-configure the microSD card with a new image, but may be used to update the boot parameters using the uEnv.txt file.

If you don't need to write the image to your on-board eMMC, you don't need to read the last of this chapter. Otherwise please go ahead.

If you desire to write the image to your on-board eMMC, you need to launch to the board, and modify a file.

In /boot/uEnv.txt:

Change to:

Then you will find the user leds light as below

Note

If you don't find the upper tracing light, please press the RESET button to reset the board.

When the flashing is complete, all 4 USRx LEDs will be off. The latest Debian flasher images automatically power down the board upon completion. This can take up to 10 minutes. Power-down your board, remove the SD card and apply power again to be complete.

Grove for Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway¶

Grove is a modular, standardized connecter prototyping system. Grove takes a building block approach to assembling electronics. Compared to the jumper or solder based system, it is easier to connect, experiment and build and simplifies the learning system, but not to the point where it becomes dumbed down. Some of the other prototype systems out there takes the level down to building blocks. Good stuff to be learned that way, but the Grove system allows you to build real systems. It requires some learning and expertise to hook things up.

Below listed the Grove modules that work well with Seeed Studio BeagleBone® Green Gateway.

    This will give you access to the website, tools, libraries and documentation.

    
    

    PC Configuration¶

    Your mbed Microcontroller can appear on your computer as a serial port. On Mac and Linux, this will happen by default. For Windows, you need to install a driver:

    Windows

    See Windows-serial-configuration for full details about setting up Windows for serial communication with your mbed Microcontroller

    From a host PC to communicate with mbed you will need a terminal application. This allows the mbed Microcontroller to print to your PC screen, and for you to send characters back to your mbed.

    • Terminals - Using Terminal applications to communicate between the Host PC and the mbed Micrcontroller

    Some terminal programs (e.g. TeraTerm) list the available serial ports by name. However, if you do need to know the identity of the serial port so that you can attach a terminal or an application to it:

    Windows	Mac	Linux
    Find the identity of the COM port by opening 'Device Manager'. To do this navigate 'Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager'.	To find the device name under Mac OS X, use the command 'ls /dev/tty.usbmodem*'	To find the device name under Linux, use the command 'ls /dev/ttyACM*'

    
    

    Downloading A program¶

    1. Save a program binary (.bin) to the Platform¶

    Download the appropriate 'Hello World!' binary:

    • VK-RZ/A1H: HelloWorld_blinky.bin

    Note: the source code for this program will be seen in the next section.

    Save the program binary file to your mbed Microcontroller Disk, just like you would with a normal USB disk. The Status LED will flash as the PC writes the file to the Microcontroller disk. The file is now consumed.

    2. Press the Reset Button¶

    When the Reset Button is pressed, the microcontroller will be reset and the last programmed application will begin to run.

    • There are two ways to use the on-board flash
      • single flash mode (1 flash in 1bit bus)
        • 1. Make sure JP1, JP3 & HDK jumpers are closed. (Boot from Flash).
        • 2. Power up through mbed debug USB and wait appearance of the CRP DISABLED disk.
        • 3. Delete existing firmware.bin in the CRP DISABLED disk.
        • 4. Drag & drop lpc11u35_vkrza1h_if.bin in the CRP DISABLED disk.
        • 5. Open HDK jumper and power cycle.
        • 6. Note that the appeared MBED disk volume is now 16 MB and this is because only 1 of the flashes is used.
      • dual flash mode (Both flashes in 4bit bus each)
        To set this mode, FIRST the board must be in single flash mode.
        • 7. Make sure JP1, JP3 are closed (Boot from Flash).
        • 8. Drag & drop VKRZ_A1H_sflash_boot_init_dual.bin (Pairing init procedure) in the 16 MB MBED disk.
        • 9. Close HDK jumper and power cycle.
        • 10. Wait appearance of the CRP DISABLED disk and delete existing firmware.bin.
        • 11. Drag & drop lpc11u35_vkrza1h_sfdual_if.bin in the CRP DISABLED disk.
        • 12. Open HDK jumper and power cycle.
        • 13. Note that the appeared MBED disk volume is now 32 MB and this is because both flashes are used.
