Linux/AM3358: SSH over USB

Tool/software: Linux

Hi all,

I have a custom board designed from the BBB. I have recently change from the BBB kernel 4.4.45 to the ti supported kernel 4.4.62 running debian. I had the usb in working order before I switched to the ti kernel, but now I am having troubles connecting SSH over USB. When I connect the usb cable I now get usb0 usb1 and a tether instead of only usb0.

I fail to SSH into 192.168.7.2

Is there something simple that I am missing?

    Hi Heath,

    I am not seeing any interface with 192.168.7.2. Also usb0 is not having any IP configured.
    Can you ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2 and then ifconfig usb0 up and check ?

    Hi Heath,

    1. Does pinging to 192.168.7.2 work ?
    2. Have you made sure sshd is running in the TI Board ?

    I got it to work, although I am somewhat confused, after looking in the setting on the ubuntu host machine I noticed that the ip of the new wired connection was 192.168.0.2 I then tried ssh into 192.168.0.1 instead of 192.168.7.2 and that did the trick. So it seems that my USB is being configured as usb1 instead of usb0. Here is my settings in /etc/network/interfaces:
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    iface usb0 inet static
    address 192.168.7.2
    netmask 255.255.255.252
    network 192.168.7.0
    gateway 192.168.7.1

    and if I do a ifconfig:

    root@arm:~# ifconfig
    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
