Re: [beagleboard] Unable to access/talk to BBB after netinstalling Ubuntu

2016-04-27 Thread Sriram Chadalavada
I did have a serial debug cable connected :). Turned out the right angle
serial connector between the cable and the J1  went bad.

But the BBB seems to be booting into the default debian in the eMMC rather
than the Ubuntu programmed into the microSD card using netinstall.

Here's the output:

U-Boot 2015.01-1-gb2412df (Jan 29 2015 - 15:01:06), Build:
jenkins-github_B5

   Watchdog enabled
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  512 MiB
MMC:   OMAP SD/MMC: 0, OMAP SD/MMC: 1
Using default environment
Net:not set. Validating first E-fuse MAC
cpsw


Is the SD card being recognized correctly by uboot?

[beagleboard] Beagle bone serial console

2016-04-01 Thread SriRam Chadalavada
This may be a naive question but how might I be able to obtain access to 
BBB J1 connector from a Cape board stacked on it? In other words, how and 
where should I attach the 3.3V TTL serial console cable that I used with 
BBB J1 connector when a cape is stacked?

According to:
http://www.toptechboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/beaglebone-black-pinout.jpg,
 
serial console UART0 from J1 connector is NOT exposed over the 40 pins. Is 
that correct? If so, what is the alternative to connect to serial console 
prompt?

Thanks!
