I have a Pocket Beagle which I haven’t used in a year or two, last time was connected to an OpenBSD machine by USB. I could SSH to an IP and log into it at least. Now I’m trying to use it with a Raspberry Pi (3B) plugged into a powered USB hub. Ultimately this is not the way I want to use it but I expected it to work for setting up other modes.
lsusb shows me: Bus 001 Device 013: ID 1d6b:0104 Linux Foundation Multifunction Composite Gadget
But ifconfig doesn’t show the device, sfdisk -l shows a new
/dev/sdb1 2048 36863 34816 17M e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
I installed the /Drivers/Linux/FTDI/mkudevrule.sh before I read that that’s not really meant for the Pocket Beagle. I turned on logging in my /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf (on the Pi) but I don’t see anything in /var/log that logs like it came from usb.
In my dmesg though I do see
[ 6.039422] cdc_ether 1-1.5.1.3:1.2 eth1: register ‘cdc_ether’ at usb-3f980000.usb-1.5.1.3, CDC Ethernet Device, 60:64:05:66:d9:5d

[ 6.185107] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_host
[ 6.197072] usbcore: registered new interface driver rndis_wlan
So maybe I should add eth2 to my /etc/network/interfaces and reboot.
I should probably delete /etc/udev/rules.d/73-beaglebone.rules
BTW the FAQ https://beagleboard.org/support/faq is dated 29014 and doesn’t mention the Pocket Beagle at all.
No appreciable change, I deleted /etc/udev/rules.d/73-beaglebone.rules (on my Pi), set eth2 up in /etc/network/interfaces as
For connecting the Pocket Beagle (USB)
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.6.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.6.0
broadcast 192.168.6.255
And then rebooted. Can’t get to 192.168.6.2 by ping. web, zenmap. I don’t know how to use usb_modeswitch in this case because I don’t know how to tell it what I want. Rndis can’t be that strange.
