Loading QT on BBB using SmarTTY

[heedaf]

I’m trying to SSH to my BBB using SmarTTY but I’ve been unsuccessful. I’ve got the BBB connected via a USB cable and Ethernet cable to my computer but the BBB isn’t found. Do I need to connect through a router in order to connect or what else could be the problem?

[heedaf]

I connected the beaglebone to my router and when I use beaglebone for the host name I get “host name not found” When I type the address the DHCP gives .1.18 as the host name I get “LIBSSH2 returned LIBSSH_ERROR_SOCKET_RECV”. If I ping the board with 192.168.1.18 I get all the packets ok. Any idea????

Hi,

Do you have the ssh server running on the beaglebone? Can you connect to itself via SSH (type “ssh localhost” via the USB console)?

[heedaf]

Forgive me for asking a really dumb question but where do I find the “usb console”?

Hi,

Sorry for being ambiguous. Please install the Beaglebone drivers. Once installed, they will create a virtual COM port (look in Device Manager for details) that should give you access to the Beaglebone console.

I am also having this problem
Just downloaded the trial version and started the Beagle bone tutorial
got to the point of making the connection and stoped
I am running win7 64bit ultimate
BBB Debian Image 2014-05-14
I can connect with putty via the usb and Ethernet
If I use beaglebone as the host name I get no such host
if is use the usb or Ethernet ip I get
save key then
LIBSSH2 returned LIBSSH2 error 0
I reinstalled SSH server on the BBB
any sugestions

Hi,

The “error 0” usually indicates that the root password is empty. Please set it to a non-empty one and VisualGDB will be able to connect.

That did the trick if I use the IP address but fails if I use the name beaglebone
is this a problem with my PC settings or the BBB?

If your DHCP server is not configured to automatically send DNS updates for its clients (such as beaglebone), the easiest way would be to hardcode the IP address in %SystemRoot%SYSTEM32Driversetchosts.
