Hi, thanks for your reply.

I did have a modules file from the build, which I installed on my root fs as follows:

tar x -C _root/ -f modules–3.10.11+git0+363bd856c8_702040ac7c-r0-beagleboard-20140415194907.tgz

(_root is a link to the correct partition on the flash card). The file contained a number of directories and files which were installed under /lib/modules/3.10.11-yocto-standard/. I have verified that these were copied correctly.

Could I be missing one or more modules, because I haven't selected some option in the build somewhere?

Is there any way to find out what module it is trying to load (i.e. when it says "no such file or directory")?

Hi, I still can't figure out how to get the USB hardware working on
my BeagelBoard xM.

I've managed to build a couple of different recipes for my
BeagleBoard (BeagleBoard xM Rev C), and also had a go at customising
it.  I think I've tried core-image-minimal and core-image-basic.

The build works OK, and I can set up my micro SD card and get it to
boot. I see lots of messages about loading drivers during boot, and
I can log in to linux.

However, the USB devices don't seem to be working. The built in
USB-Ethernet isn't there, and when I plug in a USB stick nothing
happens - nothing in /dev/ and no messages in the system log.

I don't know whether this is something I missed in the build, or
some configuration I need to do. I also don't know whether it is
specific to the Beagle or a general problem. Unfortunately I am new
to Kernel builds and device drivers.

Here's what I've looked into:

The boot-up messages indicate that the USB drivers are loaded, e.g.:

<snip>
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb
...
usbcore: registered new interface driver smsc75xx
usbcore: registered new interface driver smsc95xx
...etc

(I think smsc95xx is the USB-Ethernet chip on the beagle board xM).

ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
ehci-omap: OMAP-EHCI Host Controller driver
ehci-omap 48064800.ehci: EHCI Host Controller
ehci-omap 48064800.ehci: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
ehci-omap 48064800.ehci: irq 93, io mem 0x48064800
ehci-omap 48064800.ehci: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00
hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 3 ports detected
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
musb-hdrc musb-hdrc.0.auto: musb_init_controller failed with status -6
mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
...Etc

There's a modprobe error which occurs a couple of times:

udevd[71]: starting version 175
modprobe: chdir(3.10.11-yocto-standard): No such file or directory

Doesn't seem like you have modules installed in your rootfs ^^^

If you build core-image-minimal, you then need to extract the modules from a
tarball you got in the deplot area...


I also saw errors from the ethernet subsystem (?), along the lines
of "eth0: device not found" and "usb0: device not found". This
occurred during boot and also when I used "ifup eth0". I'm actually
seeing a different error now: "ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such
device". In either case, I think it's because something to do with
the actual USB hardware is missing or not configured.

"lsmod" shows no modules loaded, i.e.:

root@beagleboard:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by
root@beagleboard:~#

Does this mean that the various device drivers, etc, above are built
in to the kernel?

Any suggestions for how to diagnose / fix this problem? Anybody else
have experience with the BeagleBoard xM? I'm a bit lost.

Thanks!
