Issues to solve

day-1: Introduction to the single-board computers (SBC) and basic applications

Basic connections

Basic USB connection for Beagle

To connect into the SBC, attach the USB cable into the PC. Then, open the terminal and type:

$ ip addr
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	ether bc:d0:74:35:a9:39
	inet6 fe80::416:aee8:9fce:7def/64 secured scopeid 0xe
	inet 192.168.6.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255 en0
	inet6 2806:2f0:5040:8572:189b:329e:6e92:ec98/64 autoconf secured
	inet6 2806:2f0:5040:8572:796d:4680:2f61:a858/64 autoconf temporary

you will obtain a lot of enX or awdlx devices, try to search for the new detected devices and specially the one with the ip 192.168.6.2 or 192.168.7.2 that belongs to the BeagleBone devices.

TODO Basic USB connection for Raspberry Pi 4(RPi4)

TODO Enabling the SSH in the RPi4

  • Connect to a IP address
  • SSH connection
ssh -X debian@192.168.7.2
debian:temppwd

Error connection

When getting the error:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@       WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED!          @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The ECDSA host key for beaglebone.local has changed,
and the key for the corresponding IP address 2806:103e:5:50f4:3ad2:69ff:fef9:46b4

you have to edit the '.ssh/known_hosts' file, and delete the lien that contains the offending key and the corresponding IP address given the warning.

Sharing the internet through usb

Wi-Fi

To connect to your Wireless network type the following command in the terminal window:

$sudo connmanctl
connmanctl> enable wifi
Enabled wifi
connmanctl> scan wifi
Scan completed for wifi
connmanctl> services
wifi_506583d4fc5e_544e434150413937414239_managed_psk
connmanctl> agent on
Agent registered
connmanctl> connect wifi_506583d4fc5e_544e434150413937414239_managed_psk
Passphrase? xxxxxxxxxxx
connected wifi_506583d4fc5e_544e434150413937414239_managed_psk
connmanctl> quit
$ping www.google.com

Basic configuration

Changing the beaglebone's hostname

First edit the /etc/hostname file by:

sudo vim /etc/hostanme

change the first and only line in this file to reflect your new hostname. Then, edit the /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       hostname.localdomain    hostname

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

change the second line in both hostname instances for your new hostanme (must be the same previously defined).

Finally, reboot your beagle or raspberry device.

Changing the user's password

To change the default user's password use:

$ passwd
Changing password for debian.
Current password: temppwd
New password: xxxxxxx
...

Updating the system

Before any further change, please update the system and packages by:

$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for debian:
Hit:1 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease

Time and internet access

We previously have checked the internet access to our SBC-devices, now, let us use the internet to sync our time zone and locales for the further sync of commits in the git system. Thus, let us check the time at the device by:

$ systemctl status time-sync.target
time-sync.target - System Time Synchronized
	Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/time-sync.target; static; vendor preset: enabled)
	Active: active since Wed 2022-07-06 22:06:43 CDT; 14min ago
	Docs: man:systemd.special(7)

if time is wrong use the next command and follow the instructions:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

the, the system will have the correct time now.

SSH Key pairs

To create key pairs use:

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
...
...
...

then copy the *.pub file generated:

$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub debian@bbb-marx.local
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: Source of key(s) to be installed: "/Users/gmarx/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub"
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
Debian GNU/Linux 10

BeagleBoard.org Debian Buster IoT Image 2022-07-01
Support: https://bbb.io/debian
default username:password is [debian:temppwd]

debian@bbb-marx.local's password:

Number of key(s) added:        1

Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'debian@bbb-marx.local'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.

Oh My Bash

Next, to make easy work with the bash system let us install the oh-my-bash tool:

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash/master/tools/install.sh)"

you can go deeper and customize the themes and plugins at oh-my-bash
