There's no plug point near the solar system (ironic?) so I'm just powering BeagleBone from my PC. Now I'm trying to use it with BeagleBone Black so I can automate data collection.
#Beaglebone black driver windows 10 install#
The system worked on a Windows 7 PC (using a driver found on a CD-ROM in a dusty box by the solar system), and on a Windows 10 PC with no need to install driver (though it's possible the driver was installed previously when working with some other device).įrom the Windows device manager I learned that the cable is of type CDC_ACM.

This is driven from the USB1 connection on the AM3358/9 SoC, and provides access to USB host peripherals such as mice, keyboards, storage, and wifi or Bluetooth dongles, or a USB hub for further expansion.I am working on a solar power system which gives data output via constant serial data stream through a USB cable. In addition to the USB OTG Device or client-mode facilities already described, BeagleBone also provides one host-mode USB type-A socket on the other end of the board. Full IPv4 and IPv6 networking is provided by the supplied Linux system out of the box. The Ethernet-over-USB facility is additional to the BeagleBone's normal 10/100 Ethernet interface, which is directly implemented in the SoC rather than hanging off USB as in some other designs. The SoC's USB0 connection to the front-end hub works in one of two modes, and you can toggle between them at any time: it either presents the SD card as a mountable USB storage device to the host, or it provides an Ethernet-over-USB networking interface which yields a simple method of quick-start. The BeagleBone's Linux serial console is available through this USB serial connection. One port of the hub goes directly to the USB0 port of the TI AM3358/9 SoC, while the other port connects to a dual-port FTDI FT2232H USB-to-serial converter to provide board-to-external-host serial communications and/or JTAG debugging. (This is not related to the separate host-mode USB socket described later). In addition to providing an alternative source of power, it gives access to an on-board front-end two-port USB client-side hub. The mini-USB type-A OTG/device client-mode socket is multi-functional.

I'm not sure where the Windows drivers come from, but they're on - the Windows device manager lists them as "Linux Community".
It looks like everything is there in FreeBSD, but it's not identifying itself on startup. When FreeBSD boots it only identifies as a storage device, but Windows offers to format it (No!). So when Linux boots, the BBB identifies itself to Windows as a storage device, a network interface and a serial line.
It turns out that although there is no built-in serial over USB, when you boot the BBB's default Debian, it does show up in Windows as a COM port, through which I can log in (this is in addition to the network interface and storage device over the same cable, as well as the six pin header). I played around with usbconfig a bit but the only useful info I found was the normal USB slot (plugging in a stick resulted in an ad0, which I could mount as ad0s1). dmesg on the BBB acknowledges the existence of the OTG hub but it doesn't look like anything is attached. Thanks for all that! I did a lot of rummaging around last night, comparing and contrasting FreeBSD and Debian.
