Beaglebone is Back
I needed to fill a little more of my time with everything going on. Recently I switched to linux as my daily driver and it has been great. I’ve become so much more fluent and have really enjoyed the experience. It prompted me to pick up my old Beaglebone Black. I think I have Rev A but it is still just as great. I appreciate other single board computers but I enjoy the BBB because the training wheels come off. I’ve been working in C and bash alot which is a great segway into the beaglebone.
I appreciate the simplicity of the arduino and raspberry pi however I think it leaves out a lot of core fundamentals that are important. I enjoy linux as a daily driver because it gives me full control of how I conduct my work. I’m not limited to a standard OS and I can make it to fit me.
I’m going to begin posting some tutorials that revolve around the BBB, C and linux in general. There is a lot of tutorials and information already but I want to provide a wider perspecive and understanding to what’s going on at a lower level. That is why I enjoy C and work on embedded programming as well instead of hanging in higher level languages like python and java. The libraries can become a crutch and limit understanding, learning and questioning. C is a mid level langauge that if you grasp, anything else becomes cake!
