BeagleBone Black HowTo
Note this is not how to install Slackware on a BeagleBone Black, this is simply a Slackware version of the BeagleBone getting-started guide.
This was written using Slackware x86_64 14.2
The flash drive access came up automatically just like in their Step 1
Setting up the USB networking took a couple extra steps though.
Installing Drivers
The driver install is the same as in the Beagle Getting Started guide Step 2
Download, make executable and run mkudevrule.sh
Next unplug the beaglebone is you plugged it in as specified in their step 1.
I do this to see what network adapters I have before:
root@darkstar:~# ls /sys/class/net eth0@ lo@ wlan0@
Now plug the USB in and wait a few seconds for the BeagleBone to boot and see what you have:
root@darkstar:~# ls /sys/class/net eth0@ eth1@ lo@ wlan0@
So now I know the BeagleBone appears are eth0
I had to manaully set the IP and turn eth1 up:
ifconfig eth1 192.168.7.1 up
Now you can open the web browser link as in their step 3
