RE: [Gumstix-users] USB Network access, Kernel upgrading, misc. getting started

[Heilpern, M. <mar...@au...>]

I plugged the gadget cable into a different XP system, and here the
device is seen (though there isn't an enumeration in the USB section,
which I don't understand, but the RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget device is seen).
XP wants to install the driver for this, but is unable to locate it for
me. Any pointers on getting this to connect?


On my serial link to the gumstix, I periodically have this message
displayed: "irq(58) unbalanced from c00e7140". Anyone else seeing that?

misc. getting started - Email found in subject

I just received my Gumstix and am now trying to learn how to manipulate
it so I can do what I need to with this environment. I haven't had the
best of luck finding answers on the gumstix.com website.

My complete environment:
Host: Windows XP
Development host: Fedora Core 2 within VMWare on the XP system

Out of the box, I am unable to get the USB ethernet gadget to work. From
what I've read, I think this is to be expected with an XP host. I've
downloaded the tools and built the latest kernel, 2.6.9-rc1-gumstix.

1) What is the proper way to burn this kernel into flash to make it
permanent? I've got the kernel (uImage) on my mmc card, and have been
able to boot into it through the U-Boot interface. I'm hesitant to
experiment on my own because I don't want to turn my gumstix into a
small brick ;)

2) With the 2.6.9-rc1 kernel booted, I am still unable to see the
network connection working. On the XP box it's plugged into, I cannot
see any device on the USB device manager. I suspect that until I reach
that point, I'm not going to see any ethernet gadget connectivity, is
this correct?

3) I don't have DHCP on my network; is there a preferred place on the
gumstix to set the static configuration?

I am sure I'll have more questions as I progress. Thank you for any
advice!
