Introduction

This page will show you step-by-step how to interface a ST TESEO-LIV3F mikroBUS Add-On Board designed by Matt Mielke to a BeagleBone Black/Green or PocketBeagle.

Hardware Requirements

Compatible Base Boards

Adapter Boards

Software Requirements

Install BeagleBoard.org Latest IoT image

Today the latest version is: 2018-10-07 (these can be updated, so always check for the latest version)

Stretch IoT Image:
wget https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.5-iot-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz

sha256sum: 52363c654b7a1187656b08c5686af7564c956d6c60c7df5bf4af098f7df395e0

Insert microSD into pc adapter and check device node name (in our case /dev/sdd):

voodoo@hades:~$ lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sde      8:64   1   3.7G  0 disk 
└─sde1   8:65   1   3.3G  0 part 
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
└─sda1   8:1    0 465.8G  0 part /

Download the *.img.xz and write to microSD card via etcher.io:

voodoo@hades:~$ wget https://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.5-iot-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz
 
voodoo@hades:~$ sudo /opt/etcher-cli/etcher -d /dev/sde bone-debian-9.5-iot-armhf-2018-10-07-4gb.img.xz

Utilize g_serial on usb mini connector

Since we will be using an adapter plugged into the headers, accessing the debug he J1 serial debug header on the baseboard, you can use the pre-loaded g_serial module via: (note, no boot logs will be shown)

gtkterm -p /dev/ttyACM0 -s 115200 &

Install and Enable TESEO-LIV3F Overlay

Install updated version of bb-cape-overlays package.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade bb-cape-overlays

Enabled Overlay
