Hi,
Recently I bought a BB and I do not know how to use it.
I downloaded the necessary files from the following web page http://downloads.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
and have have copied them to the newly formated 4 GB sd card.
when I boot the BB then I get the following prompt in the hyper terminal.
The Angstrom Distribution beagleboard ttyS2
Angstrom 2010.7-test-20110104 beagleboard ttyS2
beagleboard login:
I tried to type root at this prompt but I am unsuccessful.
How can I interact with BB using hyper terminal?
Any idea?
However, I connect to the XM through a USB to serial adapter. Back when I had a PC with a serial port, I had problems connecting to the XM directly through the PC’s serial port - similar to yours where, the XM wouldn’t respond to keyboard input.
To configure minicom, run “minicom -s” then select “Serial port setup”. The settings that I use are the following. Note that Hardware Flow Control must be set to No.
A - Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB0
B - Lockfile Location : /var/lock
C - Callin Program :
D - Callout Program :
E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control : No
G - Software Flow Control : No
