I purchased a bbb and used it for a day or two. eventually the ssh (putty) stopped responding.
The log was very sparse and only indicated that it connected:
Event Log: Writing new session log (SSH packets mode) to file: putty.log
Event Log: Looking up host “192.168.7.2”
Event Log: Connecting to 192.168.7.2 port 22
no login information appears, just a black, cold, empty putty window.
when i disconnect the window shuts down with: :“Network error: Software caused connection abort”
lights are flashing with the heartbeat pattern.
I can see the files on the mount, and apparently I can run bonescript.
I did try to adjust the time on the board, but not explicitly, only from the button on the web page.
A serial connection via telnet responds the same way. connection with zero dialogue.
I purchased two more bbb’s, because I wanted to move forward with a little groping around as
possible (there was no clear fix on the web), and now, after a few days, a second bbb is displaying precisely the
same issue.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit
I tried it on a 32 bit XP machine, but with no change in the bbbs behavior.
Any suggestions?
Clearly I need to deal with this issue.
I am going to upgrade the OS to try to fix it.
I am praying that it is not a hardware issue. Would plugging and unplugging the usb cause problems?
Any insight would be appreciated.
