BBB DRIVER FOR MAC FOR MAC OS X
While Angstrom isn't a good platform to run the steward, we do want to install both Network and Serial drivers for Mac OS X before we go ahead and swap out our operating systems. The BeagleBone Black ships with a copy of Angstrom Linux on the internal eMMC. However if you are going to configure the board to use a WiFi adaptor you should use a supply with a 2A rating otherwise you'll get intermittent crashes due to brown outs.

The power supply is not supplied with the board. NOTE: The board uses the same power supply as the previous BeagleBone. NOTE: You should use the mini USB port on the underside of the board to connect the BeagleBone to your computer, this is located on the underside of the board to the left of the Ethernet jack. Download the disk image, and install it as you would a normal version of the operating system. The steward will auto-start when the Beaglebone is booted, although especially on the first boot it may take a few moments to start as it has to generate an RSA key on startup. The disk image is the latest version of Debian Wheezy with the steward and its dependancies already installed. If you do not want to go through the manual installation steps below we supply a disk image for the Beaglebone Black. You should probably read through this file to familiarise yourself with the BeagleBone's capabilities. Open up the mass storage device and click on the START.htm file to open it in a browser.

When startup is completed, a new mass storage device called BEAGLEBONE should appear on your desktop. The board should boot and you should see a solid blue light next to the 5V power jack.

The mini port is located on the reverse side of the board near the Ethernet jack. The BeagleBone has two USB ports, a full sized USB-A port, and a mini-USB port. Starting with a new board the first step is to plug the board into your laptop using the mini-USB cable provided. Bootstrapping the BeagleBone Black with Debian
