May 08 07:38:00 <tuukka> Hello is there some GPIO that makes WLAN on/off like Bluetooth in BBB Wireless
May 08 13:06:49 <SGJguille> hello! today i got a beagleboard xm that my dad had laying around and I would like to know which are some good tutorials to get started with it. I've already seen some about loading linux on it, but i would like to know how to run different programs on it, where to code them, etc.
May 08 13:10:20 <tbr> I'd recommend to start out with getting a recent debian image to run on it
May 08 13:10:47 <alan_o> SGJguille: also http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Main_Page

May 08 13:16:46 <SGJguille> hey alan, thanks for your link
May 08 13:17:28 <SGJguille> i think that i need to check out first if there's any os already installed in it (it's an used board)
May 08 13:47:25 <tbr> SGJguille: unless there is a SD card plugged into the board, there is nothing
May 08 13:49:40 <agraf> SGJguille: https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:BeagleBoard-xM
May 08 13:50:10 <agraf> (haven't turned it on in quite some time though, so no guarantees everything still works)
May 08 13:50:31 <SGJguille> is the Cloud 9 web IDE also able to work for the Beagleboard xM, or is it a Beaglebone Black exclusive? If I had to make a Python program for it, should i just load debian on it first and then run it as any linux program? By the way, thank you all for the advice, i apreciate it a lot as I'm completely starting and somewhat lost
May 08 13:52:31 <agraf> SGJguille: depends on which environment is the most comfortable for you
May 08 13:53:17 <agraf> (and i have never heard of a cloud 9 web ide, so no idea ;))
May 08 13:55:17 <SGJguille> i have no experience with linux so i don't really know what the most suitable environment would be
May 08 13:55:25 <SGJguille> but thanks for the headsup
May 08 14:32:09 <uhaider> hi
May 08 14:33:10 <uhaider> Can I connect the power adapter and usb cable at a time
May 08 14:33:12 <uhaider> ?
May 08 14:33:29 <uhaider> I mean that I want to power up the BBB from 5V power adapter
May 08 14:35:10 <uhaider> and simultaneously I want to use mini usb for network connection
May 08 14:35:12 <uhaider> ?
May 08 14:36:08 <uhaider> Somebody please answer
May 08 14:38:34 <uhaider> hello
May 08 14:38:34 <tbr> yes
May 08 14:38:42 <tbr> also, try being more patient
May 08 14:39:50 <uhaider> Thansk for your answer
May 08 14:55:28 <mikini> uhaider: check the SRM, ch. 6.1.4 (https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-black/blob/master/BBB_SRM.md#614-power-selection):  "The selection of either the 5VDC or the USB as the power source is handled internally to the TPS65217C and automatically switches to 5VDC power if both are connected"
