I need to hook up a HDD to my Beaglebone Black running Ubuntu. I already configured it to mount everything automatically and it already worked with a USB drive. I found this cheap USB cable with a Y form that would provide the power the HDD. There's a main USB cable with all the 4 connections and a smaller cable that is connected to the + cable and the ground. I'm going to power the HDD by plunging the smaller cable into an USB current adapter guaranteed 1A output and the one with the data connection to the Beaglebone. Before any testing i found that there is NOT any kind of diode between the two cables, so I'm worried if it's still safe to set it up I has intended.
Anyone can help me? Thank you in advance! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
