Re: [beagleboard] USB mini male cable (both sides mini)

2014-12-17 Thread Thomas Feix
And so why is it that the Raspberry Pi has 4 USB ports? It is just a
bit annoying almost always I end up with an extra USB hub that is
almost as large as the BBB itself.

Well anyhow, good I asked, saved me from destroying two USB cables :)

 Well the slave usb port is hard wired for slave only, so you'd also
 have to physically modify the board..



 That is annoying. That means basically that I am stuck with an USB hub?!

 PS: I really think having a couple of USB Ports should be on such a board.

 The chip's got dual ports. ;) One can be a host, the other is a slave...

 There are a few other 3rd party am335x boards with dual usb hosts.

Re: [beagleboard] Re: Wifi unreliable

2014-12-05 Thread Thomas Feix
Small update, I got the TL-WN722N to work. Since yesterday evening it is
online, hope it will stay that way.

The biggest problem was that wlan0 was already taken from the old dongle,
so it now runs on wlan3.

first I followed this instructions: (not sure if I had to :))
https://wiki.debian.org/ath9k_htc

Then I had some problems that I would see wlan3 in iwconfig, but
wicd-curses would not be able to access it (added wlan3 in prefs)

I think adding wlan3 to /etc/network/interfaces did the trick for me.

thanks for all the suggestions, I think I am now happy (until the next
problem...)

  @RCN - I'm using your *great* image-builder scripts and integrating my
  kernel and u-boot.  The beagleboard.org_image.sh, etc. don't seem to
 have
  the ath9k firmware, or a way to get it.  Is there a list of files you add

 as long as: include_firmware=enable...

I have been using Win all my life until I started with the beaglebone - Not
easy to change habits :P

Thanks, I really hope it will work. It is amongst the most frustrating
things to have something that works sometimes

 @Tommi,

 We had similar problems with RTL8192/Realtek dongles. We moved to TP-LINK
 722 and so far its been super! We've tested streaming video for over 2
 weeks with it now.

 As David mentioned, Atheros seems to play well with Debian. You can't go
 wrong with the TP-LINK

 thanks for your replies.
 I just ordered a different USB plug, let's see if that improves things.
 After tinkering so much with it, it seems the better options. In the end it
 is probably cheaper spending another $14, rather than sitting hours of
 hours trying to fix it. Hope the TP-LINK TL-WN722N
 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SZEOLG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8psc=1
 will help.

 I'll also try to also do what you suggest Dave, let's see if that helps
 too. Have to say it is a bit annoying that such a simple problem keeps you
 from using the beaglebone
