I must admit I'm a bit discouraged from my initial forays into using the overo. Let's not even get into the problems with the Air and Tobi boards having components that collide. I trust that'll get resolved. The help page seems to indicate hooking up a hub + keyboard/mouse, ethernet, and video will be straightforward. No Joy. I'm getting the problem others have seen where plugging anything into the USB hub (which is connected to the HOST port on Tobi) results in the hub disconnecting. Suggestions seem to involve things like removing a resistor (but I just bought this Earth board), or running a new kernel. (Where does one even start to go down that road?) Additionally, I seem to have no /dev/eth0. Is this normal? I tried un-commenting "auto eth0" in the /etc/network/interfaces file, but it too expects to see /dev/eth0. Is there something I should be doing to get this board up to the most recent versions of everything so I'll have a chance of making it useful? I expected some learning curve, but this is brutal. Any help to make this a little easier would be great. I'm looking using at this as an embedded system for a burning man project. It needs to talk over USB and Ethernet, play some audio files on cue, do a little clever processing, and perhaps use wifi to transmit status information to another device. I'm using this becuase of the low power & fanless/diskless operation.

Barry I share your opinion two weeks after receiving my overa water boards I still have no feedback from gumstix or their 'low cost help service' on my problem of even booting any kernel. Am I the only one having difficulties booting my overo with tobi motherboard as delivered?

Hi, My board is an old board, which I ordered in Nov 2008. I think newer boards don't have this resistor problem to enable the USB. I think you also have to enable the USB Host in the kernel and play around with some settings to get it to work. I'll not be modifying my Overo Earth, for fear of damaging it. But I am getting an Overo Fire soon, and I've ordered the mini-a to mini-b usb cable to connect it to a USB Hub and subsequently to a mouse and keyboard. Luckily for me, I've realized that I don't need the USB keyboard and mouse for development tasks, and the console port works just fine, when used with the touch screen and a distribution that has a on- screen soft keyboard.

I'm just getting up to speed on the overo but some things i've found-- Are you running the default image that shipped with the overo? The earlier kernel image / root filesystem that shipped with some overos did not have the ethernet module. I had to update mine to the latest (0.92 available at http://www.gumstix.net/overo-gm-images/ ) What is the output of running the command 'uname -r'? This will tell you what kernel version you are running. Additionally, I don't believe the kernel module for the ethernet device is set to load automatically in the factory image. Try running "modprobe smsc911x". If it works you will probably see no output. After this run dmesg, and you should see some messages about loading the ethernet driver. Also 'ifconfig -a' should now list the ethernet device. This was from memory so if anything doesn't work let me know-- Andre.

Fortunately, I haven't had many problems. There are many knowledgeable people here so if you provide the following information, we might be able to help. You allude to some of this in your message but just to be sure: First, which COM are you using? Which expansion board are you using? If you are still trying to using the Tobi board, is the COM seating properly? If not, that may been the cause of the problem. Which hub are you using? Is it externally powered? What cable and port on the expansion board do you connect the hub to? What Ethernet/Wi-fi dongle are you using? Are you booting from flash or SD? Finally, can you attach the console output of the COM booting? -----Original Message----- From: Barry Brumitt [mailto:ba...@gm...] Sent: Saturday, May 09, 2009 12:22 PM To: gum...@li...

Hi -- thanks for the offer of help. It's much appreciated. I'm using an Earth. The Water is put to the side until the new Tobi board is available. I'm using a tobi board. I need both ethernet and usb. The COM appears to be seating just fine. I was able to connect to the USB console port and watch it boot, log in, look around at directories, and so forth. (This is how I found there isn't an /dev/eth0) I am using a fairly generic belkin USB hub that is externally powered. I've used a mini-A to mini-B cable to connect the USB HOST port to the hub. I'm not using an ethernet dongle -- there appears to be an ethernet port on the Tobi -- or am I simply misunderstanding what that cat5 connector is for? :) I'm booting from flash. I've not yet managed to make an SD image. Where do you get the files referenced by the bootable-sd-instruction found here (http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Software-Overo/Creating-a-bootable-microSD-card/111.html) ? And why is there no /dev/eth0? Is that normal? Thanks for your time and effort. It is much appreciated.

(This is how I found there isn't > an /dev/eth0) As others have said, make sure you are using v0.92 (or something more recent that you have built yourself). Since the Tobi is a new board, older versions of software do not have driver support. Also, since not every expansion board includes the LAN9221 chip, the driver is not built into the kernel, but provided as a module. Add smsc911x to your /etc/modules file to autoload it at boot time, or load it by hand with 'modprobe smsc911x' You can edit /etc/network/interfaces to set up your networking preferences (i.e. dhcp or fixed IP address, etc). > I am using a fairly generic belkin USB hub that is externally powered. > I've used a mini-A to mini-B cable to connect the USB HOST port to the hub.

Hi guys, i had exacly the same problem. And after two days of searching i've solved the problem. I had three different USB-Hubs and none of them worked. I just could connect through the console-port. The starting screen said The Ethernet-Port was not found ... The screen worked, the console-port worked too, but the rest not. I tried to update the software via micro-sd-card. After some initialisation it hang. ... and so on... But the problem was just the connection between the summit-board and the Overo COM. I bought these Retaining spacers for Overo COM to have a secure connection. The COM seemed to be fixed on the summit expansion board, but it wasn't. When you press the Overo COM on the expansion Board you can hear a loud click. Only then the board is truely connected. After that everthing worked fine and two of the three USB-Hubs worked. On the USB OTG Port and also on the USB host connector. I've connected them to power and to the usb-cable before i booted. When i connected them after booting it does not work everytime. So before you buy a new USB-Hub like I did, look if your COM is reall really connected right to your expansion board. My workin USB-Hubs were: Keysonic UBW-34 Light USB 2.0-Hub (http://www.dooyoo.de/cid/hub/keysonic-ubw-34-light-usb-2-0-hub/Preise/) Belkin SOHO KVM Switch, DVI & USB 4 Ports F1DD104L (http://www.kvm-switches-online.com/f1dd104l.html) This hub did not work: ES-6009 Rotatable 4-Port USB Hub (http://www.easy-sources.com/Products/USBHub/ES6009.shtml) Connecting an optical Mouse or a Keyboard without a USB-Hub did not work. The Keyboard just needs 14mA, but it does not work if i plug it directly to the usb host. ... Easy Barry Brumitt wrote: > > Hi -- thanks for the offer of help.

Then download this locally: http://www.gumstix.net/overo-gm-images/v0.92/omap3-console-image-overo-v0.92.tar.bz2 and un-tar it to the ext3 partition on the microSD card as instructed at the end. Just note that this is a console build and I don't think it with start a graphical desktop. Make sure you umount both partitions. The umount may pause for a while while the cached blocks are written to the sd card. When you boot the COM, send us the console output. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Overo-Earth-%2B-Ethernet---USB-tp23457473p23465245.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I was just poking around my earth and looking at the drivers in the flash root fs. It does NOT have the driver required for the tobi's Ethernet chip. However, the prebuilt v0.92 image does. I think if you get a microSD built with the prebuilt images, you'll be good to go. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Overo-Earth-%2B-Ethernet---USB-tp23457473p23465413.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
