Many of the following exercises require some extra files on the BeagleBoard. These files are stored in a git repository. We'll learn more about using git later. Here I'll just show you how to get the files.

Set Up Git

Go to github and follow the directions for installing and setting up git. No need to set up your own repository right now (unless you want to).

I suggest you do this for both your host computer and your Beagle. On the Beagle use

beagle$ opkg update
beagle$ opkg install git
beagle$ opkg install openssh-keygen

The last opkg installs ssh-keygen which is needed to work with github.

On my host computer I had to run

host$ ssh-add id_rsa

after running ssh-keygen to get ssh -T git@github.com to work.

Get the Files

It only takes one command to pull down all the files.

beagle$ git clone git@github.com:MarkAYoder/BeagleBoard-exercises.git exercises

This will take a while since it's getting all the course files, including pdf files of the course PowerPoint. You only have to clone once for each computer. I suggest you do the same on your host computer.

host$ git clone git@github.com:MarkAYoder/BeagleBoard-exercises.git exercises

Now take a look at what you got.

beagle$ cd exercises
beagle$ ls
beagle$ cd pptx
beagle$ ls

Later exercises will tell you which files to use from here.

If it's been a while since you did the clone it's a good idea to do a pull. This will make sure all the files are up to date.

beagle$ git pull
