Tool/software: Linux

Hi there,

I have been running out of idea on getting the setup.sh completes to work properly.

First, I have the AM335x SK(starter kit) powered-up and running with Ethernet (connected successfully).

Secondly, I have the AM335x with USB cable connected to the micro-usb port on AM335x SK. Having ran the setup.sh, the scripts say that

"No BeagleBone (Black) or StarterKit detected. Assuming
general purpose evm is being used. Is this correct?
(y/n) n

Please connect the Beaglebone (Black) or StarterKit to the PC
If your using the StarterKit board make sure it is turned on
Press any key to try checking again.

My system is:

Distributor ID:   Ubuntu
Description:   Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:   16.04
Codename:   xenial

Further test I set the minicom manually by typing of which I presumed it is so.

sudo minicom -s

and set the port to

and check to see if any display/output from the target. Nothing coming back from the target. Hence, I powered cycle the target, yet nothing come back from the target.

Can anyone help please?

Hi,

Can you please explain in more detail what you are trying to do? Are you connecting the SK to another AM335x board via USB?

As intended by the setup.sh script, to setup communication between AM335xSK and the LInux host. However, the setup.sh not able to detect the present of AM335x SK. As such, I setup the Minicom on host manual, with the configuration shown in previous post. However, none of the tests show that the AM3335x SK is responding to the configuration.
What settings is the on-board usb-serial communication?

Hello siowlim,

The serial device should be: /dev/ttyUSB1

Best regards,

That is what I know it as well. I use Minicom a lot. Somehow, the built-in converter has no effect on the host driver detection. In other words, when the usb cable is connected the target and the host, the host should detect it and shows up the /dev/tty0USB1, but none of that happened.

Can you post the feedback of lsusb and ls -al /dev/ttyUSB* commands?

hey guys,

Thanks for the invaluable help. While verify using ls /dev/ttyUSB*, I thought of I might want to use a different cable. Just in case the cable is the root cause. With the new cable, I manage to see the host able to detect the target board. Hence, conclusion is the cable is faulty.

Appreciate all the time and effort.

Thank you
