Not Able to connect to Beaglebone Black using USB while booting with SD Card

Hi,


I have setup the SDK and created the SD card by taking help from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_Linux_SDK_create_SD_card_script

Everything that was expected was done as it is and response from the board was same as well (on booting none of the USER LED flashed).

But i'm not able to connect to my board while booting from SD Card. When I boot using Angstrom (provided with the board) I'm able to connect using minicom.

I'm using USBmini to USB cable to connect with my board.

As i wanna learn driver development using beaglebone black, i need kernel and complete source code in my board (which is not in Ansgtrom), hence using Angstrom isn't useful to me. please tell me how can i use SDK?

Also please let me know if SDK isn't made for device driver development as i'm not looking for application development for embedded linux.

    Hi Gaurav ,

     I'm using USBmini to USB cable to connect with my board.

    That's the way to connect;

    i'm not able to connect to my board while booting from SD Card.

        As I have hands on SK EVM with that reference ; When you are switch on you beagle bone connect it to minicom and set parameters like Baud to 115200,SB-1,PB-none and bits-8 you may see booting log at your screen; 

    If you are able to connect your board to minicom  and not able to see complete log go for reboot your system ;- you can able to see complete log; 

    Just to learn Device driver there are many online tutorials you continue with that;

    When your System get started --> connect to "minicom" or "gtkterm"  ---> log in to your board -->go for log to file from minicom or gtkterm option to save your log  --> reboot your system ;
