I rebuilt Debian a few times, always with an eye to simplify the process. All the tools for configuring wi-fi are already built in to Linux.
#PUTTY SSH BEAGLEBONE BLACK DRIVER SOFTWARE#
As soon as a guide told me I had to apt-get any software I didn’t believe it. Looking around at a few guides I found the steps were either outdated or seemed unnecessarily complicated. How best to do that? Well, assuming, like me, you don’t have a KVM for your BeagleBone, you must instead rely on SSH to communicate with your board. You’ll need to manually configure the adapter to automatically connect with your network.


You plug in your wi-fi adapter and … oh right, this is Linux.

But you’d really like that next project to be easy to move around. So you’ve updated your BeagleBone Black to the latest version of Debian (see my how-to guide for OSX and Windows users) and you’re ready to begin prototyping your next project with this embedded Linux board. If you use another adapter (or embedded Linux SBC!) please leave a comment so we can compile a list of all known adapters and embedded Linux boards that are compatible with this guide. This guide was built using Netgear’s G54/N150 “WNA1000M” micro USB adapter, which uses the RTL8188CUS chipset.

Try ‘iwconfig wlan0’ to see the wifi status, and/or ‘ifconfig wlan0’ to see that you have an IP address. The wifi network string is the ‘wifi_’ string associated with the list displayed after the ‘services’ command. Incidentally, the connmanctl commands are also in the ‘/etc/network/interfaces’ sudo connmanctl

#PUTTY SSH BEAGLEBONE BLACK DRIVER SERIAL#
If you are using Windows, you are on your own.įind the location of the USB serial port and connect to the BBBW via USB serial. I am using OS X, but this should also apply to Linux.
#PUTTY SSH BEAGLEBONE BLACK DRIVER INSTALL#
This is what worked for me.Ĭonnect the BBBW to a computer via USB and install the USB wireless drivers, as mentioned in Step 2 of the Getting Started guide. The official BeagleBone Black Getting Started guide isn’t very helpful in connecting the wireless version of the BeagleBone Black (BBBW) to a wireless network.
