Here are instructions on how to set up your host computer and BeagleBoard.
Contents
Setting up Linux on your host computer
- Give to the community - VMware Workstation
- I need instructions on installing using VMware workstation. Rose students can also get VMware Workstation for free, but they often run out of keys. Do this:
- go to [[1]]
- Login
- In the middle column click on ROSEportal.
- Click on the VMware Global Education on the top right.
- Give to the community - Virtual Box
- Many are using Virtual Box[[2]]. I need instructions on how to install and use it.
Tip for wiki admins: If you trust your users you can allow full HTML by setting $wgRawHtml = true; in LocalSettings.php.
