Does OpenBCI work with ARM Cortex-A9 which has Linux 3.0.35?

wyan868 · February 2017

I wrote a Java program to process the EEG data. The tablet that runs my software uses ARM Cortex-A9. The OS is '3.0.35-2666-gbdde708 GNU/Linux'.

Does anybody have experience with the OpenBCI board (either Cyton or Ganglion) and an ARM board? What kind of Dongle and the corresponding driver do I need?

Thanks in advance!

Linux has a built-in serial com port driver for the FTDI chip that is in the Cyton dongle. For example, others have been able to use the dongle with the Raspberry Linux. Be sure your USB hardware socket / port on the device is a 'host' port. Also known as OTG on the go.

A couple Linux Ganglion users have posted notes,

Thanks. I will ask OpenBCI shop for a verified dongle which can work in my case.

Well, since your tablet may have hardware that is different than the standard configurations used by most OpenBCI users (laptop or desktop) -- you'll only really know by trying it yourself. There is no 'verified' dongle for your particular tablet.

Ok. Will share my testing results here.
