I would like to know what is the best way to establish USB link
between a beagleboard and another platform like a PC under windows or
linux. The software on the PC plateform send a request and data to
the Beagleboard. The beagleboard process the data and return the
awnser to the PC.
There are three very simple solutions that spring to mind:
- Connect to the BeagleBoard’s serial port from a host PC.
- Connect to the BeagleBoard’s USB OTG port and have the BeagleBoard run a serial USB gadget.
- Connect to the BeagleBoard’s USB OTG port and have the BeagleBoard run a NIC USB gadget.
Options 2 and 3 are simpler to cable up as all you need is a standard USB cable from the host PC to the BeagleBoard’s OTG port. In all three cases the host PC can be running pretty much any operating system (including Linux, Windows, OSX, Solaris, AIX etc)
Do you now source exaples of this kind of communication?
What kind of sources do you need: for PC or Beagle?
If for PC what OS?
