I install Angstrom-Cloud9-IDE-GNOME-eglibc-ipk-v2012.05-beaglebone-2012.05.24.img in my beaglebone(rev.A5A),

but I cannot connect to the beaglebone with :ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root

in my VMware workstation Ubuntu 10.04, when I input: ifconfig, It only display the "eth0" and "lo" in the terminal,

there isn't the beaglebone's  message.

So how to connect to beaglebone with ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root?

many thanks!!!

    Hi Jason,

    Please read this getting started guide: http://www.lvr.com/beaglebone.htm

    Please read the "Enabling Ethernet Communications" section of the guide.

    The USB device port on the processor can also function as a USB/Ethernet bridge. You can use the Ethernet bridge to communicate with a PC instead of using a USB virtual serial port.

    ...

    Before loading the USB/Ethernet bridge's module, you need to unload the Linux-USB File Storage Gadget module.

    I'd also suggest looking for an answer on the BeagleBone forums: http://beagleboard.org/Community/Forums
    This most probably has already been discussed there.

    Best regards,
    Miroslav

    When connected to USB, you can access the serial port - see http://beagleboard.org/Getting%20Started - the part about installing drivers. I mostly use Windows and the BeagleBone White works fine with Windows 7, but not Windows 8. The BeagleBone Black and the AM335x starter board (the  $199 one) work great on Windows 8. I think you will find the serial connection useful because you can see boot information before the ssh server has started. The BeagleBone Black does need a special USB to Serial cable, the other two have the USB to Serial chip built in.

    I cannot ssh using a MAC.

    I was able to see the webpage when I used firefox to access 192.168.7.2 and I am able to run code using cloud9.

    However I cannot ssh to the device.

    I NEED TO LOAD nodemailer....therefore I need to ssh to the device. Here is what I did.

    I am connected to the board through a USB port on a MAC running OS X 10.7.5 (lion)

    1. Attempt 1

    My SSH attempt .....

    MacBook-Air:~ chrispinter$ ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root
    ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

    2.  Attempt 2

    When the use the Cloud9 console I am typing....

        npm install nodemailer.


    But nothing happens.  Any help would be great.
