I live in the DFW area, does Mouser have a "store" or is it strictly online?

[@MikaelMurstam]

...and that USB cable can power the beaglebone black, so you don't need a 5V adapter with a DC plug. You could also just use an iphone charger connected to the usb.

Nice info, Thanks. PS. Angstrom with openCV ?

[@BruceSkelly]

I've been having a hard time with the USB jack and the Micro HDMI jack. There isn't a lot of space between them, so I end up using one or the other, but not both. Even in the video above you can see the plugs bending as they are inserted.

Dear Mr.Tom,
I am now in the same trouble with you. I have tried for several PCs and some of that show connected but some do not. Have you got the solution yet? Could you give me a hand, please. Thank you.

[@christopherhamilton8475]

anyone recommend a good troubleshooting source if the BBB isn't recognized by the PC?

[@os4mike]

Thanks, great video, sadly when I get to the GUI part neither TV shows anything when plugging into the BBB from the micro-HDMI -> HDMI on the TV. I am also powering the BBB from the USB port on the TV however and not an external power supply, could this be it?

[@MouserElec]

Yes, your TV may not supply the voltage or amperage needed to properly operate the BBB. I would suggest using a power supply similar to what was used in the above video, or at the very least a different power source. Additionally elinux.org has a great BBB HDMI support page that should help.

Does the BeagleBone Black come with the 5V Adapter?

[@4gazz]

What to do if once the drivers are installed and the Steps 1 and 2 show green, but when served with the page from 192.168.7.2 the top notification is not green, but says Did you know? This page can connect with your BeagleBone
Type in your BeagleBone's IP address here: __
Cookies off, several browsers tried, can browse on Windows Explorer as flash drive

[@systemmaster128]

Thats a good starting point but you shouldnt just cut the power ... The proper way would be to push power button next to the ethernet jack. This will shutdown the beaglebone properly.

Hi,
Do you know where the omap_mux went to?
stuff like this
system("stty -F /dev/ttyO1 -echo speed 57600 > /dev/nul");
system("echo -n 20 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/uart4_rxd");
system("echo -n 20 > /sys/kernel/debug/omap_mux/uart4_txd");
Is works on the BB but not on the black
Seem like its all moved here
/sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux
But not downward compatible with the original BB
Any insight to help my use a uart?

Cant install the drivers from the second step on windows 10

I think I got it now, the driver that are on the beagle bone html file device itself were being blocked by windows 10, and it worked when went to the beagle site to directly download it.
