DON'T JUST COPY AND PASTE
YOUR USB DRIVE MAY NOT BE /dev/sdd AND THIS WILL ERASE IT

#sdd is my usb drive - need to umount these

$ sudo umount /dev/sdd1
$ sudo umount /dev/sdd2

#need to be root to write the image
$ su

#now write the new image
$ zcat beaglebone_debian_of_cloud9_no_FIBERS.img.gz > /dev/sdd

File is here http://www.jvcref.com/files/beaglebone_debian_of_cloud9_no_FIBERS.img.gz
alt version

Image is derived from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Debian_armhf_port which supposedly will give 5-6% faster floating point performance

Any libraries that you don't get from apt-get will need to use the flags (thanks Arturo for help with this)
-mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp

• OpenNI/Sensor/SensorKinect is also complied and installed with the above flags
• The root home folder is a mess - you probably only care about the openFrameworks folder and maybe cloud9_workspace and OpenNI
• I don't know if SSH via USB works - I plug in via Ethernet and SSH in with user:root, password:root
• SMB is turned on and configured for the root user (easy to edit files)
• Cloud9 is installed but needs Fibers to run Bonescript. This part is probably messy due to my noobness with Node.js module paths
• Cloud9 can be ran with node /usr/local/lib/nodejs/.npm/cloud9/0.5.1/package/bin/cloud9.js -l 192.168.200.101 (192.168.200.101) being whatever ip the bone has
• emptyExample will need ofAppGlutWindow (2 instances) changed to ofAppNoWindow in main.cpp - the version I use is in
  /root/openFrameworks/apps/jvcapps/emptyExample

#include "ofMain.h"
#include "testApp.h"
#include "ofAppNoWindow.h"

//========================================================================
int main( ){

    ofAppNoWindow window;
        ofSetupOpenGL(&window, 1024,768, OF_WINDOW);                    // <-------- setup the GL context

        // this kicks off the running of my app
        // can be OF_WINDOW or OF_FULLSCREEN
        // pass in width and height too:
        ofRunApp( new testApp());

}

Enjoy - feel free to gmail me (jvcleave) about any issues!
