Hi, I'm trying to learn how to use beaglebones for future projects. My job supplied my with 7 previously used ones (1 beaglebone black and 6 beaglebone whites) in order to get started working on them. However when I tried to plug the bbb into a computer via micro USB cable only the power LED lit up and it only flashed a single time. The board also wasn't recognized by my computer (after having installed the drivers). I then tried with the other 6 beaglebone whites and they did the exact same thing as the black.
I have heard of these being very fragile when it comes to being powered and being shut down but I still can't think of anything that I did wrong. I also tried plugging them into a nearby desktop's USB ports and then an adafruit 5v power supply but they did they same thing each time. What I need to know now is, are these boards all dead? Is there something from what I just described that would break these devices? And is there some sort of diagnostics that I can run to determine if they're still functioning? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
