hello,
i am a new owner of a Beagle Bone Black, Rev. C., and am just getting started with it.
my main problem in the getting started process is an internet connection to update various software on the Beagle Bone Black (from here on in, the BBB for short); as in, it has no internet connection.
i am connecting the BBB to my Chromebook, and Acer C720P (http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.MKEAA.001). pleae keep in mind, under the hood, a ChromeOS Chromebook is just linux, as in this kind of linux —
Linux localhost 3.8.11 #1 SMP Sat Mar 7 07:02:28 PST 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Celeron(R) 2955U @ 1.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Version 41.0.2272.89 (64-bit) [version of Chrome] Platform 6680.64.0 (Official Build) stable-channel peppy_freon Firmware Google_Peppy.4389.89.0
i just want to bridge the wifi connection on my Acer C720P Chromebook laptop over to my BBB so i can update things, like updating node 0.10.25 to 0.10.36, etc., but that can’t happen without an internet connection. and before anyone suggests it, yes, i know the BBB has an ethernet port and i could connect it direct into the ethernet somehwere, but availability of free, open, working ethernet ports for me is limited, wifi bridged over my Chromebook laptop is far more ubiquitious.
i am able to ssh into my BBB using —
$ ssh 192.168.7.2 -l root
but that’s about it. i cannot get the BBB to see any other outside internet and update accordingly.
any help in making this happen, bridging the internet from my Chromebook Acer C720P to my new BBB, would be most appreciated.
thank you in advance.
best,
