About me, I have owned and used a Raspberry Pi for over a year, I have use Arduino platform for over a year. I have made Complex Robots and many experiments. I have made my Chromebook boot into Debian Linux, and have has my Nexus 7 Table also Boot into Linux too. So I have some experience and will understand some complex and most all basic idea.
About my BBB, It’s new out of box. It is accessible via USB directly to PC and I can access the HTML file and other folders.I cannot however get it to boot up like a R-Pi boots. I have hooked it to a USB hub and µHDMI cable, along with a 2A 5v power brick to barrel connector.
It boots up but leaves me with a black screen and a graphic of a dog and beagleboard.org. I have tried it without the USB hub too and I have imaged a µSD card and tried to boot from it and it recreates the same results.
I am not tring to do anything fancy here, just trying to get it up and running.
the lights seem to be all working as they should for their assigned roles.
