Hi
I’m trying to connect two beagle bones, such that they can communicate using TCP.
My first attempt is to use the USB cable by plugin the USB-cable into USB port one one machine and the MicroUSB port on the other.
The machine with the main USB port does not add the interface for the USB as it normally would on any other linux machine.
Here is the ifconfig
root@beaglebone:~# ifconfig

I run debian on both BBBs.
