BeagleBone and Code Composer -- ERROR concerning remote system explorer

Hi,

I was able to use the Remote System Explorer and connect to my BeagleBone (check the screen attached) by precisely following the instructions at:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_setup_Remote_System_Explorer_plug-in

I have a BeagleBone Rev A3 and I am using the SD Card that contains the Arago SDK (I didn't test the Angstrom SD card) and I have it connected via Ethernet (I am not using the Ethernet over USB).

I am not sure if having the sftp installed alone is sufficient to make it work - it probably needs to be running as well. You can check by issuing the command ps from the board's prompt and checking if the sftp-server module is running (check the output of my board at the end of this post).

I couldn't yet find where the sftp is initialized, but it should be somewhere under /etc (maybe init.d, or maybe the SSH init script 'dropbear' under rc5.d). You may also want to ask this in the device forum, so you may get a more educated answer there (although I use embedded Linux, I am by no means a super-expert on it).

I will try to investigate this a bit more and if I find anything useful I will report back.

Hope this helps,

Rafael
