RISCOS INSTALL BEAGLEBOARD XM

Why Rob?

Why Rob?

I’m not sure! I can’t find a spare WORKING USB stick here to try either!

Can you double check that your USB stick is FAT formatted and not exFAT, I think ideally it needs to be FAT16.

(I’m not sure if FAT32 support is built into the ROM image)

It’s the FAT default option of windows 7 format disk.

If you boot the Beagleboard with the USB stick plugged in, enter the desktop as per my previous instructions. Once you are at the desktop press F12, then type usbdevices (and press enter)

Is your USB stick shown in the list?

Yes it’s seen as SMI Corporation USB DISK.

I think we are going round in circles here. Matteo’s USB stick is (AFAIUI) formatted Fat, but RISC OS cannot read a Fat formatted stick without loading Fat32fs first. Fat32fs is NOT (yet?) in ROM. Therefore you must have a RISC OS filecore formatted stick from which to load Fat32fs. The stick which ROOL supplies is filecore formatted, containing a full boot sequence.

The information for getting started without a RISC OS filecore disc/stick is here

about half way down, isn’t it?

My problem is that when arrived at point 10 in the guide where you have to open the scsi hard disk folder it say the disk is empty.

To be sure I disconnected the HDD from my BB -xM and tried the instructions myself using a 2 GB USB stick formatted as FAT32. The two files were visible on the BB and clicking the exec file did as described. Didn’t need to filetype the HardDisc4/util.

You are using a stick formatted to less than 2 GB? Perhaps a different USB stick?

The usb stick is 2 gb in size formatted is 1,85 gb under windows. I will try with 1 gb usb tomorrow and i will let you know ;-)

Done 1GB USB STICK FAT32 Formatted and it worked!!!!! I think FAT32 is the right format.
Thank you

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO HELPED ME TO MAKE BEAGLEBOARD WORKING!!!
Now i have a Risc os working bbxm system.
I would like to connect it to internet but under network there are no interfaces to select.

That’s marvellous. Congrats!

Now do a search for etherUSB to get networking set up.

There is a problem i have downloaded in windows etherusb and netsurf and copied in an usb stick fat32 formatted but under risc os it say it’s empty, how can i copy this files to risc os?

I have succefully copied EtherUSB and netsurf, but… i dont know how to configure etherusb i have read about ifconfig can anyone help?

i have at every restart to load etherusb?

when i load etherusb the hub’s leds light up but when i go over interface i get an ethernet over usb configuration not possible to select.
Can anyone hep to configure this bbxm ethernet?

Many Thanks : )

I have found this instruction but i dont know where to find the System:module.network folder and i dont know how to make an obey file : ).
I’m new to Risc OS!!!

Place the EtherUSB module in System:Modules.Network and then create an obey file with the following,

Set InetSetup$Driver$USB EtherUSB:ej0:EtherUSB:0.06:EtherUSB

Then put the Obey file in !InetSetup.Autosense.
The following Three tips need the source to be recompiled after.
Default Filsystem to SCSI
Edit Sources.Kernel.s.NewReset Line 1067 Change to

FileLangCMOS, 26

(SCSI Filesystem number)
Boot to desktop
Edit Sources.Kernel.s.NewReset Line 1097 Change to

LanguageCMOS, 10

(The Desktop module position in ROM)
Change Desktop Boot Banner

The sprite used for the banner is located at Sources.Desktop.Desktop.Resources.UK.Iyonix.Sprites

Use the following as a BASIC program

DIM code% 256
P%=code%
[ OPT 0
SWI ”OS_EnterOS”
MRC CP15,0,R0,C1,C0,0
BIC R0,R0,#2
MCR CP15,0,R0,C1,C0,0
MSR CPSR_c,#&10
MOV R0,R0
MOV PC,R14
]
CALL code%

System:Modules etc. is a shorthand way of saying PlingBoot.Resources.!System.X… (Put an exclaimation mark instead of ‘Pling’)

So you want to put EtherUSB in PlingBoot.Resources.!System.500.Modules.Network

There are better editors but for now you will find !Edit if you click on the Apps icon on the Iconbar. Once running you can select ‘Create → Obey’ from its menu to create an obey file.

Type in the ‘Set InetSetup$Driver$USB…etc’ making sure you finish the line with a CR (Newline)

Save the file to ‘PlingBoot.Resources.Configure.!InetSetup.AutoSense’ with the filename ‘EtherSet’

I think you will find 2 BASIC programs in the same place called ‘EtherK’ & ‘EtherUSB’. If not ask.

I think at this point you’ve installed everything. If I’m wrong no doubt someone else will advise.

Restart your machine. You should now be able to configure for Internet.

Hope this is correct. I’m rusty with RISC OS myself.

I have made with Edit the file bu i’mnot still able to find the !System.500:Modules.Network
I have a !Boot folder in the scsi :0 hard disk but no folders inside olny the configuration files, and i have resources in Apps folder but no System inside only SystemDevs.
Sorry

Hold down one of the Shift keys and double click on !Boot
Then open the Resources folder. !System should be in there.

Mm, yes. Sorry about that. A folder whose name starts with a pling is an application. So if you double click you run the application Boot, which is the configuration options. To find the files/directories inside an application you double click on it whilst holding Shift as Rob says.

Thank you : ).
I’m at tishi point i have saved an obey file made with edit with this string Set InetSetup$Driver$USB EtherUSB:ej0:EtherUSB:0.06:EtherUSB CR, putted inside PlingBoot.Resources.Configure.!InetSetup.AutoSense, restarted. No i have in interface under network an ethernet on usb device but itsnt configurable it’s in grey color.

Before Netsurf worked but now i get anì white windows with this written :Cannot open (Wimp$ScrapDir).WWW.Netsurf.Log for I/O redirection
