Unable to ssh into am335x -evm

I have connected the am335x-evm's ethernet line and the serial line to my laptop. I am able to communicate to the device over COM port and there seems to be no issues. I ran the ifconfig command on the device and eth0 is listed with an IP of 192.168.1.100. However it does not seem to connect to the linux vmware. Is there a wiki to follow to do this ssh connection over linux or ubuntu? When I try to connect I get either 'Connection Refused" or "Network is Unreachable". 

  • Can you please provide more details:

    Do you have a firewall configured on your Windows machine?  We have seen issues with firewalls blocking the SSH access.

    Do you have a firewall configured on your VMWare?

    Is the system with the VMWare plugged into the same router as the EVM? 

    Can you ping your EVM from both Windows and the Linux VM?

    Are you trying to SSH from the EVM to VMWare or from VMWare to the EVM?  Please try both directions

  • What kind of network connection does the VMware machine have?  It should be "Bridged" so that it is using the same physical network connection as the Windows machine.  It sounds like you have a router that is using DHCP to serve an IP address to the EVM.  Is the Windows machine also connected to this same router and getting an IP address okay?  Use "ipconfig" in a DOS command window to check the Windows IP address.  And use "ifconfig" in the VMware machine to check its IP address.  Then also try pinging the EVM IP address from both the DOS command and from a VMware terminal. 

    Can you telnet to the board from either Windows or VMware?

  • Hi, 

    Sorry for the delay in responding. But I was able to resolve this. My host computer was also connected to a wifi-connection aside from the ethernet and my vmware was taking wifi as the network interface. I only had to disable wifi. 

    Thanks again.
