Hi TJF Finally SUCCESS. Writing a new uSD with the .xz file ,without doing anything else on that computer; created a bootable drive. When I then sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=1024 of=/dev/mmcblk1 it took only seconds. Previously when I tried that , I aborted after 30 minutes. ?? Now sos works. W...

Hi TJF Make a further try and press the boot button on the board. I already tried that. (The little button on the board is not easy to handle.) I use a pencil with a rubber on the end. This wont work!!! The file dino_8GB.xz is compressed. You'll have to decompress first Extracted it first and added ...

Hi TJF Downloaded the file and followed the instructions to confirm the checksum and wrote a uSD. Put it into the BBB to boot and got the little Penguin and a flashing cursor. Left it for 5 minutes, and then powered down to try again with the same result. I will now try another uSD and use different...

Have enabled my PM as well

Hi TJF I just did the exact procedure that you described, with the only variant being the device name. On my laptop the uSD is called sdc instead of mmcblk0 The other change is copying the script whilst the uSD is in my laptop. Open the root folder as su and copy pruinstall.sh into it. Then again as...

Hi TJF

If you can send me a link in a PM, that will help me get going.

Regards

Edit: How are you getting the install.sh into memory to be able to paste it.
Are you linked to the laptop, or other method to read the file ?

Hi TJF Still the same error: initialisation failed (cannot open /dev/uio5) destructor warning: constructor failed I have decided that I don't know enough about terminal commands, and as a result I am wasting your time. So, I will spend a few days becoming more familiar. The only other option is if p...

Hi TJF Have tested a number of ways but still get errors. Current image is; bone-debian-9.6-console-armhf-2018-12-10-2gb.img.xz 1:Write image 2.add 2 lines to /etc/apt/sources.list 3.editing of /boot/uEnv.txt not needed 4.copy script to home/debian/bin 5.Boot uSD in BBB 6.sudo su 7.cd bin 8.run scri...

Hi TJF

Thought it was your bedtime, so will send full response by your morning.

I have installed on second uSD the same image as you used (the iot one)
After documenting and correcting every step along the way, I have an error message
ls -l /dev/uio no such file or directory.

Hi TJF It is all good experience, at least I dont find these problems when I have a schedule to keep. Your suggestion. debian@beaglebone:~$ dmesg | grep uio [ 13.358106] libpruio: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. debian@beaglebone:~$ I will now do the following: 0. Keep an image of what I h...

Hi TJF Below detail. Obviously /dev/uio is the immediate problem. debian@beaglebone:~$ ls -l /dev/uio* ls: cannot access '/dev/uio*': No such file or directory debian@beaglebone:~$ ls -l /sys/devices/platform/libpruio/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 20 14:29 driver_override -r--r--r-- 1 roo...

Hi TJF Still no luck. I have completely erased the eMMC, so it wont boot. The settings in /boot/uEnv.txt are identical to yours. The result of lsmod | grep uio are exactly the same as yours. In the next day or so, I will make another image. Can you tell me which image you used, so I will try to repl...

Hi TJF initialisation failed (cannot open /dev/uio5) destructor warning: constructor failed That is what I got the first time. Then when I got your message, I edited the Env.txt as per your suggestion. Still got same error Then I also removed comment from : pru_uio (4.4.x-ti, 4.14.x-ti & mainlin...

Hi TJF

Installing the -dev package solved the problem
I managed to compile SOS.bas with no errors.
Will test further now.

Regards

Hi TJF And how do you get that "cannot find -lpruio" message? With Freebasic installed and Geany I can compile any project as long as I dont try to use libpruio. I just compiled a very large project and it also gave missing library errors (like Allegro and cgui), but I expected that. Will ...
