Hello there,
I am using BeagleBone Black with Debian console version (3.8.13-bone70 #1 SMP Fri Jan 23 02:15:42 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux). I have enabled g_ether module for usb ethernet gadget. The problem is, the usb0 interface is not visible on boot. I have to manually login to BeagleBone Black and use ifconfig:
ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2
Without that, I cannot connect using usb. I see the interface on the windows side but its down. In my interfaces file I have:
`
Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
… or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
Note on some boards, usb0 is automaticly setup with an init script
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
`
I tried to work around this and added ifconfig usb0 192.168.7.2 rclocal file but that ahvent helped as well.
I would really apreciate all help here- Why isnt usb0 configured at boot?
