I just purchased the new macbook pro with macOSX 12.1 and I cannot login to my beaglebone black wireless on chrome. I believe it is because the mac drivers are for older versions. Does anyone know if there are new drivers and how to install them or if there is a way around this.
Thank you

Hi @Jeremy_Bogacz ,
Is this over the usb-otg connector of the BeagleBone Black Wireless?
We pushed a patch for the usb-gadget in the default images on Apr 9, 2020 ( boot: Update USB CDC Ethernet gadget to use NCM · RobertCNelson/boot-scripts@b61125c · GitHub )
What version of the OS are you running?
This will help dump out the details.
sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

Hi @RobertCNelson,
Yes its over the USB-otg connector. I am running Debian Buster IOT 10.3 on the beaglebone.
hi @Jeremy_Bogacz , what’s the date on that build?
debian@BeagleBone:~$ cat /etc/dogtag
BeagleBoard.org Debian Bullseye Xfce Image 2022-01-18
Regards,
Hi @RobertCNelson,
The date is 4/6/2020. Its the Buster IOT flasher image on the beaglebone website under latest images.
So the fix was merged 3 days later…
From:
/opt/scripts/
git pull
and reboot…
or grab the latest snapshot:

Hi @RobertCNelson,
So i have updated to debian 10.11 buster IOT image and I can now ssh into the beaglebone on the mac terminal. However I still cannot connect to the beaglebone using the ip address in chrome.
192.168.7.2 = RNDIS (Windows - Linux)
192.168.6.2 = cdc-ncm (MacOSX - Linux)
So use, 192.168.6.2 on mac in the webbrowser.
Regards,
I tried using 192.168.6.2 and I also tried to go directly to cloud9 using 192.168.6.2:3000 and both just time out after a while. In the network section in system preferences it says the beaglebone has a self-assigned ip and the ip address is 169.254.48.119
Waiting for updates, this macmini is one of the slowest… (Big Sur 11.6.x)
en5: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Edit, this took awhile, but MacOS 12.1:

Hi @RobertCNelson,
I still cannot connect to the beaglebone on safari using the IP address. In my network settings it still says self-assigned IP with a yellow marker. Could it possibly be because I am using a USBC-USB adapter to plug in the beaglebone.
Thank you
any chance do you amazon part number for that? My MacMini doesn’t have type-c, but my windows work laptop does… Wonder if it’s the cable… or yeah… I’ve never tried a type-c → into a Black or Black Wireless…
Regards,
Its the usbc to usb adapter from apple. The ASIN on amazon is ‎B00VU2OID2 and the model number is ‎MJ1M2AM/A
Perfect ordered!!! Will test next week…
I like this statement…
Regards,
Just an update, got that adapter…
It’s working fine on my Windows 10 laptop… (my MacMini does not have a type-c port…)
Regards,
Okay. Not sure why it’s not working on my laptop. Thank you for everything, I really appreciate it. I am able to ssh into the beaglebone on the built in terminal so I can still work on it.
Thank you,

Hello Robert, I am a bit new to all of this, so could you point me to how I can install the new drivers on my macbook? I have installed “bone-debian-10.3-iot-armhf-2020-04-06-4gb” from the beagleboard getting-started page’s hyperlink onto an SD card and then booted up the beaglebone black whilst holding down the boot key.
Do I have to reflash the SD card with an updated module? Is there a link to a .dmg which works?
Unless you can plug in the ethernet and just run on your board: (as this requires a working network connection)
cd /opt/scripts/
git pull
sudo reboot
Just reflash: https://forum.beagleboard.org/tag/latest-images
