You can earn extra credit in the class by solving specific problems so that we can incorporate them into new releases! Let us know if you are working on one of these, so that multiple people don't work unbeknownst on the same problem. When you are finished, document the solution with a CCRMA Wiki.
- Do a study to determine how great the risk of corrupting the file system actually is if the Beagleboard is improperly halted. If it is worrisome, then
- Make the USR0 or USR1 light do something to indicate that the Beagleboard has finished halting and is safe to turn off.
- Extra Extra Credit: Find a convenient and compact way to wire up a button to the Beagleboard expansion port, and configure the Beagleboard so that when the button is pressed, the Beagleboard automatically runs the command sudo halt.
- Find out how to control a mini (or even pico!) projector with the Beagleboard.
- Carry out a brief study on power supplies and consumption:
- Record the supply voltage while the Beagleboard boots up while powered by a USB hub.
- Measure the current consumption and note the supply voltages for
- the Beagleboard
- both kinds of USB hubs
- an iPhone
- a MacBook
