== Executive Summary ==<br />
<br />
The goal of this project is to give the U-boot boot-loader the ability to mount different partitions on start-up. This would allow the user to dual-boot the beagle board by controlling the boot sequence with a user button or RS-232 link.<br />
<br />
There are two principal parts to this project: finding a method to create a multiboot mmc card, and creating a command in U-Boot to simplify the process of booting multiple partitions for the user. We have successfully completed both parts in this project and have found a method create and boot from a multi-partition mmc card on the Beagle Board.<br />
<br />
If we had more time, we would like to research further into booting from USB devices. Initially, our projects scope included booting from external USB devices, but we were not able to make any progress with this goal.<br />
<br />
We feel that this project was successful in that we achieved the primary goals we set out to accomplish. In addition, we learned many new things about the inner workings of boot-loaders, solid state storage devices, and the way the kernel boots during startup.<br />
<br />
== Installation Instructions ==<br />
<br />
These instructions will guide you through the installation of our modified U-boot boot-loader.<br />
<br />
If you do not yet have git installed see the instruction on [http://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_07c_git EBC Exercise 07].<br />
<br />
Open a terminal on your host machine and pull our git repository:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ git clone git@github.com:albertlee5/project.git<br />
host$ cd project/<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
To compile the code for our project you will have to source two shell scripts that set certain environmental variables and the cross-compiler toolchain:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ source ~/.oe/environment-oecore<br />
host$ source ~/.oe/crossCompileEnv.sh<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Before you can build our installation, you will need to configure some variables so that the make file knows exactly what platform U-boot will use. First you need to unconfigure any previous settings and then have make configure itself for the Beagle Board.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ make unconfig<br />
host$ make omap3_beagle_config<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Now you should be able to make our project:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host:/project$ make<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Next copy the resulting MLO, uboot.img, and uboot.bin to the boot partition of your mmc-card and rename the corresponding existing files so they don't interfere at startup. The beagle should now boot with our modified bootloader.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red"> Note: follow the instructions in the section below if you ran into some problems during make. The errors described are caused by a problem in the files we pushed to the repository. Although we believe we fixed the problem, we only have two machines with which to test this, so we included the remedy below as a precaution.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
If make fails with an error such as "System not Configured" or the like, there are several commands you will have to run to fix this. This is caused because the copy on the repository may contain some temporary files that were native to the editors host machine, but will not work with your configuration. We will have to remove several files so that make will re-generate them for your machine. In the terminal type:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host:/project$ rm -rf include/autoconf.mk<br />
host:/project$ rm -rf include/autoconf.mk.dep<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This removes some auto-configuration files from the include directory. We will also need to remove a number of .depend files created by make. (Note that simply typing make clean will not remove these since they were not created with your Makefile). The following commands perform a batch remove of these files, and then check to see if the removal was successful:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host:/project$ find . -name .depend | xargs rm -rf<br />
host:/project$ find . -name .depend.* | xargs rm -rf<br />
host:/project$ find . -name .depend<br />
host:/project$ find . -name .depend.*<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The last two commands should return no output. Now try using make to compile U-boot.<br />
<br />
== User Instructions ==<br />
<br />
=== The Multi-Partition Creator Script ===<br />
<br />
Before you can dual-boot your Beagle Board, you will need an mmc card with multiple partitions. Surprisingly, a Google search reveals that there are few, if any people who have accomplished this. (Please note that the SuperJumbo package for the Beagle Board by Always Innovating uses a different method to switch between OS's while the board is powered on). To remedy this issue, we have created a script that will set up an mmc card with U-boot and multiple Angstrom partitions. We based our script on the OMAP3 SD Booting script created by Slim Logic Ltd. which can be found at the following url: [http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/2011/05/omap3-sd-booting/ http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/2011/05/omap3-sd-booting/]. If you would like to see the modifications we made to achieve multi-boot, please view the 'Theory of Operation' section below.<br />
<br />
First, download our script [http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yuhasmj/embedded_linux/partitioning.sh here].<br />
<br />
Before you can run the script, you will have to change the permissions so that it will be executable:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ sudo chmod 777 parititioning.sh<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Now run the script with no arguments. You should receive the below output message:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ sudo ./partitioning.sh<br />
Usage: partitioning.sh <drive><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Now plug the mmc card into your host machine and determine which name the host computer assigns to it.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ dmesg | tail<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
There should be a few lines talking about mounting a disk and giving it the name sdx where x is any letter for the drive. Now that we know the name of the disk, we can run our script:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ sudo ./partitioning.sh /dev/sdx<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Your drive now has four partitions on it, three of which can serve as a root file system for linux. The first partition is FAT32 and will serve as the boot sector where U-boot lives. Now, copy your MLO, u-boot.bin, u-boot.img, and uimage to the boot sector of your mmc card. Also, obtain a copy of the root file system for Angstrom. Due to the the size limitations of uploads, we cannot provide this, but if you follow the instruction [http://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_00_Installing_Angstrom_on_SD here] to build a normal Angstrom MMC card and then sudo copy all the files in Narcissus-rootfs to your computer, you will have a bootable root file system.<br />
<br />
=== I Have Multiple Partitions, Now What? ===<br />
<br />
Now put the sd card in your beagle board and fire it up. Be sure to plug a cable from the serial port on the beagle board to some kind of connection on the computer. Instructions to do this can be found [http://elinux.org/ECE497_Tips_and_Tricks#Accessing_the_Beagle_via_the_Serial_Port here].<br />
<br />
Once byobu is opened, and you have U-boot running, enter the following command:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
U-boot # jack<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The command with no parameters should display a list of partitions on the mmc card. Now choose some partition x and boot.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
U-boot # jack x<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The Beagle Board should now boot to whichever file system you have selected.<br />
<br />
== Highlights ==<br />
<br />
Our project gives the Beagle Board the ability dual boot from and sd card. The project combines a script for setting up an sd card with multiple partitions with a user-friendly method of multi-booting with U-boot. After many hours of online research, we believe that our project is the first documented project of its kind for the Beagle Board. Although our system currently only works with the Angstrom distribution of Linux, it lays the groundwork for dual-booting multiple OS's such as Ubuntu and Android.<br />
<br />
== Theory of Operation ==<br />
<br />
This section will describe how we accomplished our project and detail some of the challenges we faced while we worked.<br />
<br />
=== Partition Script ===<br />
<br />
Initially we tried to manually create a multi-partitioned sd card from which to boot, however, we soon ran into many problems. At first, we manually partitioned the disk into a 128MB boot sector and divided the rest of the space evenly between two ext2 partitions. We then copied files from a working sd card to populate the partitions. The initial problem was that we performed did not perform a sudo copy and that some files were left behind, but when we tried this strategy on previously unformatted cards, we discovered that there was something else wrong with this method.<br />
<br />
Before we could continue, we had to learn little bit about how static memory is addressed in a hard disk or any other form of longterm storage. It turns out that data is still allocated into sectors, cylinders and heads, just like in the early days of computing. An in depth description can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder-head-sector here]. We learned that for a FAT32 file system, there are 512 bytes in each sector, and 63 sectors in each head. There is a maximum number of 255 permitted heads for one device. This means that to deal with larger file systems, the number of cylinders must change. We played around with the command line tool fdisk to get an idea of partition a sd card with this format. Because the process was fairly complex, we decided to write a script to do our job for us.<br />
<br />
Rather than reinventing the wheel, we found a [http://www.slimlogic.co.uk/2011/05/omap3-sd-booting/ website] who had already written a script to partition an sd card for a single partition of Angstrom Linux. We used this script as the basis for our creation which will create four partitions on a single sd card. The first partition is used for boot, meaning the remaining three partitions can be used as the root file system in an OS.<br />
<br />
=== U-boot Modifications ===<br />
<br />
Initially, we wanted to prove that we could multi-boot in U-boot just from the command line as a proof of concept. After creating a multi-partition sd card (see above section), we discovered a method of booting to separate partitions. This involves starting U-boot, and first, listing all the available partitions on the detected mmc device. Next, we had to determine which partitions were bootable and then pass that partition to the ext2load command. Analysis of the ext2load command showed us that this command calls the bootm command, which intern calls the boot command. Each of these commands generates a set of parameters for the next one down the chain allowing the user to go from a high level of abstraction to a very low level of operations. We played with the booting commands and environmental variables and determined the best way to select a boot partition was to follow the following commands:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
U-boot # mmc part<br />
U-boot # setenv pnum X<br />
U-boot # setenv mmcroot /dev/mmcblk0pX rw<br />
U-boot # setenv loaduimage ext2load mmc 0:X ${loadaddr} /boot/uImage<br />
U-boot # boot<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
In the above commands, 'X' is an arbitrary ext2 partition number that exists on our mmc card. Basically, we are resetting the location that U-boot chooses to look for the uImage file (kernel), and the partition that the kernel will mount as root.<br />
<br />
This process takes long time to perform by hand, so we thought it would be neat to create a user command that would add another layer of abstraction.<br />
<br />
After some research, we found instructions on how to create a command in U-boot, but the article was written entirely in Chinese. The webpage which gave us insight into how to add a command to u-boot is [http://hi.baidu.com/282409975/blog/item/527f5ce996cf77ddd539c9b9.html http://hi.baidu.com/282409975/blog/item/527f5ce996cf77ddd539c9b9.html]. From here, we further explored how we could invoke a command within command. Luckily we had Jack in our group. The following is a high level description of the process of adding a user defined command to U-boot.<br />
<br />
First, you must add your command.c file to the common folder using the naming scheme, cmd_<your command name>.c. You must also include the following headers in your file:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
#include <common.h><br />
#include <config.h> //CONFIG_CMD_JACK<br />
#include <command.h> //U_BOOT_CMD<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The common.h loads libraries native to all U-boot source code. The command.h and config.h load globals that commands will need to be recognized by U-boot. It is important to note that stdio.h and stdlib.h are not supported by the tool chain we will be using.<br />
<br />
In addition, we must define our command in the Makefile, the header for the Omap3 Beagle Board, and the config_cmd_all.h that contains a list of all commands.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
./common/Makefile:COBJS-$(CONFIG_CMD_JACK) += cmd_jack.o<br />
./include/configs/omap3_beagle.h:#define CONFIG_CMD_JACK<br />
./include/config_cmd_all.h:#define CONFIG_CMD_JACK<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
We named our command jack and created a cmd_jack.c file in the common directory. In the cmd_jack.c file, we needed to create some functions to execute when the command is called. The do_jack() function is the main function that will be executed every time the command is called. We also needed to add a call to U_BOOT_CMD(jack,0,1,do_jack,"Test Program.\n"); that would run every time somebody ran help on the jack command.<br />
<br />
To call other commands from the U-boot, we discovered the run_command("string to run", flag); command to let us access pre-written commands. We also discovered that although stdio.c was not in the toolchain, we could use sprintf to parse variables into strings. Theses commands gave us the tools we needed to take the above command list and automate them under a single unified user command.<br />
<br />
=== Difficulties Using the Git Repository ===<br />
<br />
The installation section describes some steps that must be taken if the git repository that someone pulls is bad. We discovered that a number of .depend files are created every time a user runs make on U-boot, and if this user pushes there directory to git, the .depends will cause problems for users with other machine configurations. To solve this, we discovered an includes file in git that would allow us to include and exclude certain files while do a git push. We believe we have solved this problem, but just in case, the work-around is located above.<br />

== Conclusions ==<br />
<br />
We found this project very interesting because it gave us an in depth look into the way a boot-loader works. We saw how to add commands, and learned how the boot-loader actually determines what to do when a user enters a command. We also learned about the way memory is addressed in long term storage and learned about how it affects different file system schemes.<br />
<br />
We feel that future additions to this project could include the following:<br />
<br />
1.) The ability to boot from USB (We tried to look into this, but did not make much progress)<br />
<br />
2.) The usage of the user button to select a boot partition at start-up<br />
<br />
3.) The ability to boot into different operating systems. (Our code should support this, but we did not have time to test it).</div>Machttp://elinux.org/ECE497_Project:_Multiple_Partitions_via_U-bootECE497 Project: Multiple Partitions via U-boot2012-02-13T04:50:03Z<p>Mac: </p>

<br />
Currently we have discovered how to create mmc-cards with multiple partitions, and discovered a way to mount the different partitions as root during start-up using built in U-boot commands. Currently we are developing a command to allow the user to select the partitions from which to boot.<br />
<br />
Plans for the duration of the project includes finishing development of the multiboot command and modification of the boot script to allow partition selection using the user button. We would also like to discover how to create a FAT boot partition from scratch. Finally, if time permits, we also intend to research booting from USB devices.<br />
<br />
== Installation Instructions ==<br />
<br />
If you do not yet have git installed see the instruction on [http://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_07c_git EBC Exercise 07].<br />

To compile the code for our project you will have to source two shell scripts that set certain environmental variables:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ source ~/.oe/environment-oecore<br />
host$ host$ ~/.oe/crossCompileEnv.sh<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Now you should be able to run make to compile U-boot.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
host$ make<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Next copy the resulting MLO, uboot.img, and uboot.bin to the boot partition of your mmc-card and rename the corresponding existing files so they don't interfere at startup. The beagle should now boot with our modified bootloader.<br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />
<br />

| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector].

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

Speakers will be attached to the Beagle, where the file will be played back. Possible extensions are a LCD for displaying id3 tag information, and buttons for user interaction (next track, previous track, etc.) on the GPIO interface.<br />

| [[ECE597_Adding_Sense_to_Beagle|Adding Sense to Beagle]] (See [[BeagleBoard/GSoC/Ideas]])<br />
| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />
<br />
What follows are<br />
<br />
; Places to look for project ideas: Feel free to add your own suggestions.<br />
; Mini Project ideas: Add your own suggestions, and do some of them. Mark the ones you've done.<br />
; Full Project ideas: ditto.<br />
<br />
== Sources for Project Ideas ==<br />
<br />
Here are some links where you'll find ideas for your project.<br />
* [http://wiki.omap.com/index.php/ETechDays_Community_Lightning_Talks ETechDays Community Lightning Talks], this is a one-day web-based conference where many project ideas are presented. One of our 2009-2010 senior design projects was found here.<br />
* [http://beagleboard.org/project Official list of Beagle Projects], there are many Beagle specific projects listed here. Many are inactive. ''List your project here once it running.''<br />
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk1xjbA-ISE Augmented Reality Project], here's an idea that I think we can do on the Beagle. Rather than using augmented reality glasses, I'd suggest we use a [http://focus.ti.com/dlpdmd/docs/dlpdiscovery.tsp?sectionId=60&tabId=2235 TI DLP pico projector]. [http://www.hitlabnz.org/wiki/EmbeddedAR Here's] AR running on the Beagle. <br />
* [http://code.google.com/p/0xdroid/ Android], this is one of a couple of efforts to port [http://source.android.com/ Google's Android OS] to the Beagle.<br />

| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector].

The ARM could then send the processed audio to the speakers. [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6Run c6run] would be used to interact with the DSP. <br />

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector].

| [http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~morrow/software/ winDSK6] is a Windows program that talks to a TI 'C6711 DSK and performs many interesting audio effects.

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

| Accelerometer-based auto-leveled projection<br />
| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector]. The orientation data from the accelerometer would be used to rotate, skew, keystone the projected image in order to keep it level and normalized.<br />

Use this data and OpenGL to build a 3d model of the scanned object<br />

| Port winDSK6 to the Beagle<br />
| [http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~morrow/software/ winDSK6] is a Windows program that talks to a TI 'C6711 DSK and performs many interesting audio effects. This project would implement the code running on the Windows side on the ARM. The ARM could capture a frame of audio and send it to the DSP for processing. The ARM could then send the processed audio to the speakers. [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6Run c6run] would be used to interact with the DSP. <br />

| Automated Die Tester<br />
| Make a device that can roll a die, and keep statistics on how random the die is. The build can either be very complex, or very simple, depending on how you define "rolling a die". The software doesn't necessarily have to know what the numbers mean, it just has to be able to uniquely identify the sides.<br />

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

Speakers will be attached to the Beagle, where the file will be played back. Possible extensions are a LCD for displaying id3 tag information, and buttons for user interaction (next track, previous track, etc.) on the GPIO interface.<br />

| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

| Accelerometer-based auto-leveled projection<br />
| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector]. The orientation data from the accelerometer would be used to rotate, skew, keystone the projected image in order to keep it level and normalized.<br />

The motors would be controlled using the BeagleBoard's I2C or SPI interfaces. Use libfreenect to capture depth information from every side of the object as the Kinect rotates around the object. Use this data and OpenGL to build a 3d model of the scanned object<br />

| Port winDSK6 to the Beagle<br />
| [http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~morrow/software/ winDSK6] is a Windows program that talks to a TI 'C6711 DSK and performs many interesting audio effects. This project would implement the code running on the Windows side on the ARM. The ARM could capture a frame of audio and send it to the DSP for processing. The ARM could then send the processed audio to the speakers. [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6Run c6run] would be used to interact with the DSP. <br />

| Automated Die Tester<br />
| Make a device that can roll a die, and keep statistics on how random the die is. The build can either be very complex, or very simple, depending on how you define "rolling a die". The software doesn't necessarily have to know what the numbers mean, it just has to be able to uniquely identify the sides.<br />

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| [[ECE597: Sumo Robot|Sumo Robot]]<br />
| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

Speakers will be attached to the Beagle, where the file will be played back. Possible extensions are a LCD for displaying id3 tag information, and buttons for user interaction (next track, previous track, etc.) on the GPIO interface.<br />

| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

The orientation data from the accelerometer would be used to rotate, skew, keystone the projected image in order to keep it level and normalized.<br />

| Kinect Based 3d Scanner<br />
| Build some sort of motorized gantry that allows the Kinect to be rotated around (and possibly from top to bottom) of an arbitrary object. The motors would be controlled using the BeagleBoard's I2C or SPI interfaces. Use libfreenect to capture depth information from every side of the object as the Kinect rotates around the object. Use this data and OpenGL to build a 3d model of the scanned object<br />

| [http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~morrow/software/ winDSK6] is a Windows program that talks to a TI 'C6711 DSK and performs many interesting audio effects. This project would implement the code running on the Windows side on the ARM. The ARM could capture a frame of audio and send it to the DSP for processing. The ARM could then send the processed audio to the speakers. [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6Run c6run] would be used to interact with the DSP. <br />

| Automated Die Tester<br />
| Make a device that can roll a die, and keep statistics on how random the die is. The build can either be very complex, or very simple, depending on how you define "rolling a die". The software doesn't necessarily have to know what the numbers mean, it just has to be able to uniquely identify the sides.<br />

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

Speakers will be attached to the Beagle, where the file will be played back. Possible extensions are a LCD for displaying id3 tag information, and buttons for user interaction (next track, previous track, etc.) on the GPIO interface.<br />

| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />

<br />
We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

We have both mini projects and projects in ECE497. <br />
<br />
'''Mini projects''' involved finding something interested in the Beagle world and installing it to your beagle and demoing it to the class. You would also create a wiki page documenting what you did to get it installed. Often you may find multiple efforts do to something, for example there are a few efforts to port Android on the Beagle. Your task is to figure out which one should be used. Generally mini projects won't require you to write new code; however they are the background work that may lead to a full project. You should do a couple mini projects for the class. Generally they are done alone, but working in pairs is OK. These will be about 1/3 of your grade and should be done in the first 5 weeks or so.<br />
<br />
Only one '''full project''' is done for the class and it's done with a team of 3 or 4. These projects can take a mini project (or a whole new idea) and add to it. The goal is to have your work contribute to the open source world. Any code is generated will be kept on [https://github.com/ github] and a [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ bitbake receipt] will be created to automatically download and create the object files.<br />

| Several projects have been started to add [http://matthsu-abacus.blogspot.com/2009/11/build-3-axis-accelerometer-on.html accelerometer support] to the BeagleBoard. This project would involve getting an accelerometer installed and working, perhaps using a [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard_Trainer trainer board], as well the [http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/gencontent.tsp?contentId=52770 TI Pico Projector].

| [http://www.ece.wisc.edu/~morrow/software/ winDSK6] is a Windows program that talks to a TI 'C6711 DSK and performs many interesting audio effects.

The ARM could then send the processed audio to the speakers. [http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/C6Run c6run] would be used to interact with the DSP. <br />

| Automated Die Tester<br />

| Set-Playing System<br />
| Set is a relatively simple card game that lends itself nicely to image recognition and computer play. The layout is not very structured, and the game play is pretty simple. This project would incorporate image recognition, projection of possible moves (using the pico projector), and maybe even speech synthesis, and recognition. For example, if someone didn't know how to play Set, then the board could take them through a tutorial, asking questions of the user as it went along ("If I have these 2 cards, what 3rd card would make a set?"). This would make for an interesting demo at conferences. <br />

| [[ECE597 Project pyWikiReader | pyWikiReader]]<br />
| This project is mostly software, with the hardware element being the use of the dsp. The idea is to tie together three technologies: speech recognition, speech synthesis, and internet access in order to create an interface capable of orating information to the user based on a vocal command. The implementation I have in mind is to use the Pocket Sphinx speech recognition engine to first understand what the user wants through speech, such as "Rose-Hulman". Once the speech is translated, the software can execute a Wikipedia search to pull said item's page. Most of the important info is contained within the introductory paragraph, so the software will take only that chunk and feed it into the Flite speech synthesis engine. The end result is a simple machine with "mother box" like usability, that is, no interaction besides what is natural to the user (speaking) should be necessary to retrieve the information.<br />

| [[ECE597 3D Chess | 3D Chess with Networking]]<br />
| This project would simulate a hand-held chess game, and the game would allow two player games using two beagleboards over a network connection. The graphics would use the beagle's PowerVR SGX for hardware accelerated graphics by using OpenGL. In addition to 3D graphics and networking, a third portion of the project would be to optimize the boot time because a chess computer should start up quickly.<br />

| [[ECE597: Sumo Robot|Sumo Robot]]<br />
| The goal of this project is to create a robot capable of competing in the 3.0 kg weight class of a sumo competition ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3OR_sHrOJM an example]). This would have minor hardware and electronics elements, but would focus on communication with sensors using the BeagleBoard and the Linux kernel. At minimum, this involves sensors to detect the edge of the ring and the opposing robot. This would likely be implemented using Sharp IR rangefinders, a ultrasonic rangefinders, and ideally a camera.

Speakers will be attached to the Beagle, where the file will be played back. Possible extensions are a LCD for displaying id3 tag information, and buttons for user interaction (next track, previous track, etc.) on the GPIO interface.<br />

| [[ECE597_Adding_Sense_to_Beagle|Adding Sense to Beagle]] (See [[BeagleBoard/GSoC/Ideas]])<br />
| Sensory aware applications are becoming more mainstream with the release of the Apple iPhone. This project would combine both HW and SW to add sensory awareness to beagle. First, additional modules such as GPS, 3-axis accelerometers, Gyroscopes, Temperature Sensors, Humidity Sensors, Pressure Sensors, etc, would be added to beagle to compliment the microphone input in order to allow sensing of the real world environment. Then SW APIs would need to be layered on top to allow easy access to the sensory data for use by applications. <br />
