Hello, I am trying to get USB connections to my three BBB rev2A boards, but they do not show up anywhere (eg dmesg or lsusb), nor do I get a network connection to 192.168.6.2 (or 7.2) Wifi works (mostly), but not really reliable enough to support a longer ssh session.
So, basically I have two questions, both about connecting to the boards. 1. Is the USB problem a known one? beaglebone.org getting-started instructions give the impression that should just work right out of the box. 2. One of the boards stopped working via wifi (wifi led won't light up, device does not show up in network scan). Is it toast now? What can I try? What I already tried: * three different BBB devices (all ordered at the same date and vendor) * different host computers: MacMini 2012 and one Ubuntu 16.04 machine that has USB 3 * 12V power supply connected to the board * fresh 2018-03 debian iot image (boot from SD Card) * install drivers for the mac (tried this about 2017-4, so it was only with the older image) * ran the linux script to register the usb device number * tried three different USB cables * looked for any visible physical damage (none found) * googling ;-) * read the troubleshooting guide... no internet explorer involved What I did not yet try: A windows machine. In a few days I might have access to one were I may install drivers and fool around, but even if that works, it would not really solve my problem. Also, since much on BBB is based on debian: I am mainly working on Ubuntu, maybe there is some 'autoconnect' service missing that is common in debian?
