The easy way to get a guaranteed connection is to use a serial cable. You might also be able to get a console via HDMI and a USB keyboard, but in my experience these don't play nice if not connected at boot. You can also hook up an actual Ethernet cable. The 'Bone should get an IP address and be accessible via ssh from the same network, and dhcp ought to update the default route as well. Connecting an Ethernet cable should work reliably even if one wasn't connected at boot. If you _have_ to get in via usb, it may be possible. Since it's a USB connection, I'm not familiar with the setup details (I use the real Ethernet port). Start by verifying your computer side IP address for the BeagleBone USB connection, and try to ping the BeagleBone. If you are lucky, the problem is just on your client side. If you get to where you can ping, it should be possible to get an ssh session. Unplugging and re-connecting the USB link might fix things as well, but I'd try this as a last option if you need anything from the current state of the 'Bone. I don't use the USB link and don't know how it behaves is you disconnect and reconnect it. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
