Aloha,
Hey Ramon,
Maybe you could post a link or something to let us know where you got the heatsink. I'm using the steel cases at Logic Supply for my BBB as I will be putting my BBB's in some spots with a lot of high voltage switch gear so I was wondering if there would be any clearance problems. I'm in Hawaii and sometimes it can get a little warm and was wondering about the heat of the processor myself.

Doug,

Just wanted to congratulate you on your efforts in porting Allstar to the BeagleBone Black. I just got my BBB board today and have a node up and running with no issues. Took me about 3 hours to set up, but mostly because I realized the BBB uses a microSD card, which I didn't have one on hand. I had to go to Walmart and get one because it is close and open at 9:30PM.

I am using the simpleusb.conf, which I have never used, but works fine.

The TI chip does get a bit hot, so I put a heat sink on it to help.
