Andreas J Reichel

Andreas Josef Reichel was born in 1982 in Munich, Bavaria, to Josef and Ursula. He went to an elementary school from 1989 to 1993 and continued with lower secondary education for 4 years and started with middle school in 1996. In 1999, he finished school as the best graduate of the year. From 2000 to 2001, he went to Fachoberschule and got his subject-linked university entrance qualification, with which he began to study Physical Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Munich. After two semesters, he got his preliminary diploma and began with general studies of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2003. In 2011, he completed Dipl.-Phys. (Univ.) in experimental physics with the THz characterization of thin semiconductor films in photonics and optoelectronics. Now, he is working on his dissertation to Dr. rer. nat. on plasma etching processes for semiconductors at the Walter Schottky Institute of the Technische Universität München in Garching. In his spare time, he has been learning programming languages such as BASIC, Pascal, C/C++, x86 and x64 Assembler, as well as HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and the database system MySQL and has been programming since he was 13 years old. Since 1995, he has been an active hobby musician in different accordion ensembles and orchestras. He also loves to learn about languages and drawing, and he began practicing Chinese martial arts in 2012. He invests most of his free time in hobby electronic projects and family genealogical research. He was the co-author of Charge carrier relaxation and effective masses in silicon probed by terahertz spectroscopy, S. G. Engelbrecht, A. J. Reichel, and R. Kersting, Journal of Applied Physics.

Minimal configuration and optional equipment

BBB is a single-board computer that has all the components needed to run Linux distributions that support ARMhf platforms. Due to the very powerful network utilities that come with Linux operating systems, it is not necessary to install a mouse or keyboard. Even a monitor is not required in order to install and configure a new BBB. First, we will have a look at the minimal configuration required to use a single board over a network.

Minimal configuration

A very powerful interface of Linux operating systems is its standard support for SSH. SSH is the abbreviation of Secure Shell, and it enables users to establish an authenticated and encrypted network connection to a remote PC that provides a Shell. Its command line can then be utilized to make use of the PC without any local monitor or keyboard. SSH is the secure replacement for the telnet service. The following diagram shows you the typical configuration of a local area network using SSH for the...
