1. Get The Parts
- 4GB SD card or larger - get a high-quality one from a brand like Kingston
- One GT Max adjustable-length USB cable
- Ethernet cable
- 2.5A 5V switching power adaptor
- Arduino Nano from Gravitec
- Solderless breadboard
- Only if you have the Beagle Board original: External Ethernet/USB hub such as the GWC Technology HE2440
2. Burn Image to the SD Card
Be very careful when carrying out this procedure! If you choose the wrong block device, you could easily erase everything on it!
- Connect the blank (micro) SDHC card to your Mac by plugging it in directly to a camera SD card reader or use a USB micro SDHC reader/writer.
- Open up the Terminal program, and find out which block device the (micro) SDHC card is connected to by running the df command. For instance, you might see it show up as something like /dev/disk3s1. If yours is named differently, then just substitute the correct name throughout the remainder of the instructions.
- Unmount it by executing
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3s1
- Realize that the block device for the entire (micro) SDHC card is named /dev/disk3
- Write the image to the entire (micro) SDHC card using the command
dd if=xM_RevC_Maverick.dd of=/dev/disk3 bs=8225280
which will take some time to finish.
Read the results in the terminal carefully to make sure that there weren't any errors. If you have any difficulties: try again, and/or try changing the bs value to 10M or something else. This changes the block size of each write. No matter what, using a high-quality (micro) SDHC card can save you a lot of trouble later!
3. Put Them All Together
Plug everything in, and you should be ready to go. Here it is with some speakers.
