I will answer my own question After looking at the circuit diagram I see that there is no 5V supply to the USB port for the mini USB connector. I know that this is normally for a host to supply and power the beagle via but I am plugging in a device to BE powered. So the solution is to

Hello I have finally managed to get my hands on an BBB and started to try and get my system up and running the way I need by building a kernel (3.14.1). I am attempting to use the USB client port (USB0) in host mode and think I have done all the things necessary to get this working: Kernel

Hi, sorry for not responding when I said. The PCB's have now arrived from the manufacturer and the parts have arrived from Farnell and Mouser. The assembly and inspection is starting this weekend. I have to state that this is an initial low volume (10 off) production to check the viability.

Hi Eric, Yes adding the compass as well could easily be done as we are already using the MPU-6050 and it is a compatible replacement. The mini-PCI-e is the socket that a 3G/LTE card can be attached to, the interface to the beagle is USB and has the SIM interface as well to make things easy A
