node-beaglebone-usbboot

Transforms BeagleBone to mass storage device

This is heavily based on node-beagle-boot & node-raspberrypi-usbboot

Install modules:

npm ci

Run the script:

NOTE: On most GNU/Linux distributions you'll need to run this as root.

npm start

Now that everything is ready, we can transform BeagleBone to mass storage device:

  • Makeing sure the device is powered off
  • Pluging the USB cable to the device but not to the computer yet
  • Pressing the the 'USER' button, and keep pressing it
  • Pluging the USB cable: This will power up the device
  • Releasing the 'USER' button

The device will now configure itself trough BOOTP and transform to mass storage device.
