Hi all,
I am new to BBB. This is a long time haunting problem for me. For my applications some GUI libraries need to be installed in BBB. For getting maximum space for installing packages, I am using a 16GB SD card - load the image in SD card and boot from SD card. If I use the latest debian jessie image bone-debian-8.7-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2017-03-19-4gb.img from https://beagleboard.org/latest-images, the maximum rootfs size available is only 4GB. Expanding RootFS for 16GB is not possible with this image. So as per link https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-SetupmicroSDcard, Bootloader, Kernel and RootFS images are prepared and loaded into the SD card. But in this procedure the RootFS used is minimal. (obtained from the link - https: //rcn-ee.com/rootfs/eewiki/minfs/debian-8.7-minimal-armhf-2017-03-02.tar.xz ) This minimal image is finely working. ssh through Ethernet port is working fine. But ssh through USB port (Internet through USB) is not working. openssh-client and openssh-server are already installed. Is there some more packages to be installed for ssh through USB? The command* ip addr *for Ubuntu 16.04 host shows the following messages: sajeevank@sajeevank-Vostro-3559:~$ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 28:f1:0e:36:1c:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.2.5/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global enp3s0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::2af1:eff:fe36:1c63/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 1c:ba:8c:a2:ed:72 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.2/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global dynamic eth0 valid_lft 83757sec preferred_lft 83757sec inet6 fe80::9445:1600:d383:baf8/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: wlp2s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether e4:02:9b:03:8a:90 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff sajeevank@sajeevank-Vostro-3559:~$ The command* ip addr *for BBB target shows the following messages: debian@arm:~$ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 88:c2:55:96:44:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.2.31/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global eth0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::8ac2:55ff:fe96:44cd/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: usb0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master tether state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 88:c2:55:96:44:cf brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.7.2/30 brd 192.168.7.3 scope global usb0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: usb1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master tether state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 1c:ba:8c:a2:ed:73 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::1eba:8cff:fea2:ed73/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 5: tether: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 1c:ba:8c:a2:ed:73 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.1/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global tether valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::34f7:7fff:fe2c:50e2/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever debian@arm:~$ The /etc/networl/interfaces is as follows in Ubuntu Host: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto enp3s0 iface enp3s0 inet dhcp The /etc/networl/interfaces is as follows in BBB Target: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.7.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 network 192.168.7.0 gateway 192.168.7.1 I can ssh, BBB through Ethernet port now. But my application required this Ethernet port. So my idea is use Ethernet port for Application and USB port for SSH. So for proceeding with this work, I need to get either SSH through USB feature in minimal image or expansion capability for latest normal image (expansion to 8GB or 16GB size) or availability of a rootfs.tar.gz image which also contains SSH through USB feature Please help me finding out any one of these. Thanks in advance for the help.
