Expanding Filesystem Size for BeagleBone and RPi

Beagleboard / Raspberry Pi : Expanding File System Partition On A microSD

This is a tutorial on how to expand the space used by the file system on an external micro SD card on your BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi. This tutorial will work with any of the Linux operating systems mentioned on Ubuntu On BeagleBoard Black or Debian On BeagleBoard Black that boot from a micro SD card

With lots of trial and errors for expanding the file system size of a SD-Card using command line which crashed the file system. I found the alternative way of doing it.

Requirements

Ubuntu Operating System with Gparted Installed

SD Card with Debian 8 for Beagle Bone Black

Expanding File System Size using Gparted

Insert the SD Card into the Ubuntu Running System

Open Terminal and Install Gparted
```
sudo apt-get install gparted
```

On Terminal to open gparted, type gparted command

Select the SD Card

Right Click on the mount sd card, and click on Resize

Resize by dragging to the end.

Click on Apply to apply the changes.

Now you should have got complete memory used from the sd card. Plug in the SD-Card to the beagle bone and start working. Feel free to comment below if you are looking for some help and also please share your experiences or any particular challenges that you might have faced in executing this setup.

Upgrading Firmware to HM-10 CC2541 BLE 4.0

HM-10 BLE 4.0 Module CC2541 MCU can be set up,also can controlled by a remote Bluetooth device for setting,can transfer data, and can remotely control 10 PIO pins,so,the best choice is HM-10 bluetooth module. It can replace HC-05, HC-06, HC-07 etc. Support Central and Peripheral mode switch, modify by AT commander . The Bluetooth UART RS232 serial Converter Module can easily transfer the UART data through the wireless Bluetooth, without complex PCB layout or deep knowledge in the Bluetooth software stack, you can combine this bluetooth module with your system: Any Micro controllers, ARM or DSP systems can be interfaced with HM-10. SOC systems. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) Computer Accessories Other systems your want to use under bluetooth functions. DEVICE FEATURES Fully Qualified Bluetooth V4.0 BLE module Full Speed Bluetooth Operation with Full Piconet Support and Scatternet Support Increadible samll size with 3.3V input, and RoHS C...

Low Power Wide Area Networks for IoT Products

M2M and IoT or Internet of Things will give rise to billions of nodes that require connecting. Most of these will require only low bandwidth to transfer small amounts of data. Some will also require this to be connected over distances greater than those achievable simply by a transmitter on its own. For many of these applications, the traditional cellular phone systems are too complex to allow for very low power operation, and too costly to be feasible for many small low cost nodes. Focusing on measure of success in communication, the latest present scenario “IoT Network” plays a vital role in the development of communication between the various modes. in which ,the major controlling of all the operations in any remote smart devices depends upon the network modules. The modules for the communication is preferred based upon the convenient of the smart devices developed. Mainly depends upon the range, Power Consumption Efficiency Losses Dimension-ally distance ...
