**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Nov 17 02:59:57 2022 Nov 17 14:33:52 my beaglebone black is not connecting to my network Nov 17 14:34:02 can someone help with this? Nov 17 14:38:29 Hi, is it on ethernet RJ45 and do you have a router/dhcp server ? Nov 17 14:39:01 If so it should aquire an IP. If on USB it should get 192.168.7.2 or something like this. Nov 17 14:39:24 i am just plugging it in to the ethernet port and it says no network Nov 17 14:40:29 ok you have a monitor and keybord attached right Nov 17 14:40:52 no Nov 17 14:40:55 RJ45 port leds lit up ? Nov 17 14:41:15 what is the RJ45 port? Nov 17 14:41:30 the beagle board ethernet port Nov 17 14:41:42 yes they light up and stay solid Nov 17 14:41:43 green/yellow LEDs should be on Nov 17 14:41:50 ok Nov 17 14:42:00 You plugged to what ? Nov 17 14:42:21 into my router Nov 17 14:42:44 ok it should aquire an IP address from the router Nov 17 14:42:51 it doesn't Nov 17 14:43:03 how do you ckeck it ? Nov 17 14:43:38 there is an OLED screen attached to a controller board Nov 17 14:43:52 yes that's what i said a monitor of some sort. Nov 17 14:44:06 sorry i'm very new to this Nov 17 14:44:29 Do you have a keybord attached to bbb ? Nov 17 14:44:44 If so you can go to a console and get more info from there. Nov 17 14:45:00 For example run "ifconfig" Nov 17 14:45:01 no the controller only has 4 buttons to control the OLED Nov 17 14:45:13 one second Nov 17 14:45:46 Yellow light should be solid, green light might blink from time to times Nov 17 14:45:56 Means it listens on the network. Nov 17 14:46:16 i haven't seen the green light blink Nov 17 14:47:16 You can also connect to the router and see if it has addressed it an IP. Nov 17 14:47:22 even if i don't have the BBB plugged in to the network it still gets an IP address, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my network when i have it plugged in Nov 17 14:47:30 Usually they have a web page and display connected clients. Nov 17 14:47:41 i tried that last night and it was not showing up Nov 17 14:48:13 It might get a dummy address, though it needs to acquire from DHCP from the router Nov 17 14:49:01 ok, where do i go from here? Nov 17 14:49:37 I'd do an ethernet wire disconnect/reconnect and check the activity on LEDs first, something should blink. Nov 17 14:50:06 Upon connecttion the green one blinks. Nov 17 14:50:27 i've tried that. i've disconnected it numerous times Nov 17 14:50:29 Won't get solid unless it doesn't physically discuss. Nov 17 14:50:39 Yes check the green light is what i mean. Nov 17 14:50:49 i know. still nothing Nov 17 14:50:51 That tells you if if discuss (green blinks). Nov 17 14:51:14 So now you know if blinks or stays solid upon connection. Nov 17 14:51:27 If it's solid there's a hardware issue. Nov 17 14:51:44 Cable or whatever related to physical link. Nov 17 14:52:12 so maybe the port isn't connecting to the BBB? Nov 17 14:52:48 Again when you disconnect, reconnect, is gren led solid or blink a bit, just the moment it lights up and seconds afterwards ? Nov 17 14:53:00 no it is solid Nov 17 14:53:03 ok Nov 17 14:53:19 bit strange. Then it's probably physical link issue. Nov 17 14:53:40 ok. is there a way to connect it differently? Nov 17 14:53:48 Not on BBB Nov 17 14:53:56 on your router perhaps. Nov 17 14:54:09 i mean can i use USB? Nov 17 14:54:14 Link or configuration on the router. Nov 17 14:54:25 On a different port in there. Nov 17 14:54:42 not sure what you mean by that Nov 17 14:56:46 The cable might go to another port in your router perhaps Nov 17 14:57:13 Anyway you should get blinking LEDs for a DHCP transaction, tha'ts for sure. Nov 17 14:57:48 Try connecting the router end of your cable in a different port. Nov 17 14:58:26 still nothing Nov 17 14:59:26 You're better to plug a USB keyboard and screen on BBB, login to the console and work from here. Nov 17 14:59:38 You'll be able to read network status with "ifconfig" Nov 17 15:00:01 how do i plug a screen into it? Nov 17 15:00:22 You can also do that if you wire with USB to a computer, ssh client to the beagleboard at its local address which should be 192.168.7.2 from memory. Nov 17 15:00:32 micro hdmi. Nov 17 15:01:18 ok. i'll have to get a USB then Nov 17 15:01:38 all i have is USB C and Mini USB Nov 17 15:02:08 I think it's a mini usb right. Nov 17 15:02:32 It's side by side with ethernet port. Nov 17 15:02:58 sorry i have micro and i need mini Nov 17 15:06:09 all i really need to do is access a program that is already on the BBB and make some changes. I was previously doing that via network Nov 17 15:06:31 but if i can accomplish that with USB that would be fine too Nov 17 15:08:48 you can Nov 17 15:09:35 so if i connect with USB and go to the 192.168.7.2 or whatever, that should get me there? Nov 17 15:09:46 it should Nov 17 15:10:13 I thin .7.2 or .7.6, somewhere close from this. Nov 17 15:10:16 ok i'll get a cable and try that. if it doesn't work, i'll be back Nov 17 15:11:19 thank you for your help Nov 17 15:14:01 ok **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Nov 18 02:59:57 2022
