Do you have a terminal plugged into the command line serial port? What does it say is happening? --- Graham On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 3:14 PM, Graham wrote: > > Alex: > > You are probably trying to draw too much power through the USB port from > the BBB. > I would try the same setup, but using a Powered USB Hub.

Alex: You are probably trying to draw too much power through the USB port from the BBB. I would try the same setup, but using a Powered USB Hub. See if any of your hubs have a wall-wart accessory that can power the hub directly, and take the power load for all the USB devices away from the BBB. --- Graham == On Sunday, February 28, 2016 at 1:25:16 PM UTC-6, awesomea...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi all, > > So i have a bealge bone black with a 4.3 LCD cape running on debian.
