BeagleV-Fire_Flask_UART_PySabertooth

This is a small set of scripts to build around the BeagleV-Fire (Linux) and UART

• install the bb-imager-rs technology from beagleboard.org

• install the Trixie image from their image writer for the BeagleV-Fire

• use a USB debug adapter to watch for specifics: https://docs.beagleboard.org/boards/beaglev/fire/02-quick-start.html#beaglev-fire-quick-start

• follow the instructions and use the correct adapter(s). Find your device under /dev/

• so, if it is /dev/ttyUSB0, install tio and tio /dev/ttyUSB0

• there are some specifics on building the image and booting into the image on beagleboard.org

• once we have a built and bootable image, let us sign in via tio and then enable ssh by changing the password

• then on the Trixie image, it should be as easy as ssh debian@192.168.7.2

• if you board, the BeagleV-Fire, does not respond to the IP Address, look up your IP Address and use that instead

• now, we have our bootable image and board ready

• sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
• sudo apt install git python3 python3-venv python3-flask python3-serial
• the last apt install is for serial, i.e. so we can alter UART commands

# After the build from apt is done...
1. use the src file in this repo to handle utilizing /dev/bone/uart/4
2. now, once we have configured the correct data in the file, we also need to write up some /templates/MY_FILE.html file
3. the .html file should read our flask application so when the flask application calls an IP Address and Port, our html file is listed

Please use a venv from python3 via python3 -m venv . in the src file and then source bin/activate

Update

This should get you far, i.e. as this is Linux and not the baremetal applications that can be used on the BeagleV-Fire
