Chapter 5. Building Your Media Player

As shown in the previous chapters, the BeagleBone Black board can do much more than provide media and services. It can be adapted to a wide range of projects you have in mind. Moreover, we'll see how this board differs from others with respect to design. You'll be introduced to the concept of add-ons, so you will know how to choose a functional brick that can be used in one of your projects. At the end of this chapter, you'll see how to get your project up and running. This is the chapter where we can have some fun, so let's get our brain on fire!

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing BeagleBone capes

  • Your own media player in your hands

  • Installing a system for the expansion board

  • Using the expansion board with Android
