The majority of the 46 GPIO pins on the Beaglebone Black have different modes of operation. For example, pin 24 on header P9 can operate as a simple GPIO, a Controller Area Network (CAN) port, among others. If one is using a Debian-based Linux OS image from elinux.org, the system comes with a helper script … Continue reading "Configuring the Beaglebone Black GPIO Pins (Permanently)"

Updating the Beaglebone Microcontroller
Updating the Linux OS image for the Beaglebone Black (BBB) can be a ceremony in and of itself. Luckily, if one has the steps in order before starting, things can be easier. Having done this a few times, I have decide to create this post mainly for myself, but also for others who need a … Continue reading "Updating the Beaglebone Microcontroller"

I have been trying to do this for sometime. Inspired by a LabVIEW implementation at a previous job, I have been trying to implement the same CRC-16 algorithm in Swift. The cyclic redundancy check is a mathematical computation used in various areas of hardware and software to detect false bits in a stream of data. Computing … Continue reading "CRC-16 in Swift 3.x+"
