Hello, I am a pre-newbie with Starterware, trying to play with the beaglebone black and facing a few issues with the virtual serial.
I did install the FTDI drivers as requested using the setup executable (win64), but still cannot see the virtual serial.
I normally use different kind of FTDI devices (Arduino, MSP430 Lpad, C2000 Lpad, FTDI cables...) and never had issues up to now.
Tried then in Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), where normally I don't need to add any driver, FTDI devices, once connected, they show up in a ls /dev/tty*
Nothing shows up there.
I tried (both win and linux) :
- Create a starterware demo SD - Bone boots and turns on all 4 user leds, no serial is detected by the pc
- Setup a target connection in CCSV5.04 as per documentation and trying to connect to the Cortex A8.- nothing, in win the XSD100 command line utility tells em that no XDS100 emualtor is installed (??)
What am I doing wrong? The USB connection works since when booting the default on board linux I can access the board
I am sure it must be some silly thing I am overlooking, sorry for that, any help would be appreciated
