Blaze Keyboard and Mouse Access?

Greetings,

I have flashed two SD cards with pre-installed OMAP4 Precise (12.04) Desktop and Server Images of Ubuntu, downloadable from

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Server/Install?action=show&redirect=ARM%2FOMAPHeadlessInstall

When I boot either card on the Blaze, I see the log shown below on COM11 on my PC through the mini USB interface.

When I boot the Desktop image, I see the graphical Ubuntu System Configuration screen on a monitor attached to the Blaze through an HDMI cable.

The big problem I am facing is I can't gain mouse or keyboard access needed to navigate through the System Configuration screen.

The keyboard and circular navigation tool on the Blaze is not functioning. Is there a way I can attach a keyboard and mouse to the
Blaze so I can gain user access to the O/S, or enable the keyboard and mouse on the Blaze?

Thanks for any help someone can provide.

  • It is possible to connect the mouse and keyboard to the Blaze. The support is enabled by default across all Ubuntu release.

    You need to connect Micro USB to USB converter first. Then connect HUB to it. And now Blaze is ready to support USB mouse and USB keyboard using USB hub. Hope this helps.
