I have a question about a netstix 200xm-cf I received yesterday. When I attempted to run the gumstix, it would: begin to boot, connect to the dhcp server, and then in about 5 seconds disconnect. The IP address it received from the DHCP server does not work for either ssh or ping. This was tried using a Debian box using dhcpd, a windows xp box, as well as two different linksys routers (one running dd-wrt and one running stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated. -- See Exclusive Videos: 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards http://www.hollywoodlife.net/younghollywoodawards2008/ |

This is just a shot in the dark, but your symptom sounds a bit like the problem I was having with a Connex and a NetMMC. In /etc/network/interfaces, the presence of lines like "auto wlan0" seems to cause the system to try to bring up a (nonexistent on my setup) WiFi adapter, thereby nuking the Ethernet connection that had just been established. Try commenting out the unused Wifi, Bluetooth, and USB-Ethernet entries in /etc/network/interfaces, and you may have better success.

My netstix 200xm-cf, which I received last week, is doing the same thing as Adam posted below. The link light on the router will flash for 3-4 seconds. When I log into the router, I can see that the netstix requested an IP and the router DHCP assigns one. However, since the link light goes out after those 3-4 seconds, I cannot ping or ssh to access the netstix. If the problem is the "auto wlan0" line in /etc/network/interfaces and I cannot ssh into the netstix, how do I access the settings in order for it to boot properly? I would really appreciate help with this. Steve Hersey wrote: > > This is just a shot in the dark, but your symptom sounds a bit like the > problem I was having with a Connex and a NetMMC.

This seems to be a somewhat common problem... I had the same one. Commenting out those interface lines works. Another solution I also found to work is to upgrade to the latest kernel... I upgraded from gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1 to gumstix-kernel-2.6.24-r1 and the problem went away. Unfortunately you will need a serial con to fix the problem regardless, which is unfortunate if you didn't order one with your kit.

At Gumstix, we are working to make sure that we provide netstix computers that work out of the box as a code change has been required till now. Contact su...@gu... if you would like to send back your netstix and have us make the change noted below.

I recently purchased the consoleLCD16-vx along with a verdex and netwifimicrosd stick, and have been looking to integrate it with SparkFun's ID-20 RFID reader. First question - While looking at the pinouts on the consoleLCD16-vx, I noticed that the board has breakouts for 'AC97' - what are the pinouts for it and can I use it for audio? Second question - I understand that I need to remove the resistor labeled STTXD to use the STUART breakouts, but I'm trying to figure out which pins I should use from the ID-20 RFID reader in to pin 4 (RxD, I understand?), as the RFID reader has CMOS on pin 8, and TTL Data (inverted) on pin 9. The rfid reader has no inputs, from what I understand - it behaves very similarly to a magnetic card reader, except that I will be setting it to use ASCII mode, hence CMOS/TTL Data (inverted). What is CMOS/TTL Data (inverted)? Which should I use in to pin 4/RxD? Do I need to use a resistor or an inverter as noted on http://gumstix.net/wiki/index.php?title=Serial_voltages ? I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm just trying to avoid bricking the system before I even turn it on :p Thank you, in advance! - Michael Renz Relevant Links: 1) Sparkfun ID-20 RFID reader: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8628 2) ID-20 Datasheet: |

The best place to determine the pinouts is by examing the schematics. <http://pubs.gumstix.com/boards/> You'll need to install Eagle (free): <http://www.cadsoftusa.com/> I haven't used version 5 of Eagle, but have used verion 4. > Second question – I understand that I need to remove the resistor labeled > STTXD to use the STUART breakouts, but I'm trying to figure out which pins I > should use from the ID-20 RFID reader in to pin 4 (RxD, I understand?), as > the RFID reader has CMOS on pin 8, and TTL Data (inverted) on pin 9. > > The rfid reader has no inputs, from what I understand – it behaves very > similarly to a magnetic card reader, except that I will be setting it to use > ASCII mode, hence CMOS/TTL Data (inverted). > > What is CMOS/TTL Data (inverted)?

If the CMOS output were at 3.3v, then it could be connected directly to the RxD pin. Since the ID-20 runs at 5v, you'll need to do something about the voltage. Using an inline 10k resistor should be fine. Now if you leave consoleLCD board as a RS-232 level (i.e. don't remove the resistor), then you can hook up the TTL Data (inverted) directly into the RxD line on the MiniDin connector. While not true RS-232 most RS-232 device will recognize it. Otherwise, to connect this particular line to the console LCD when configure as a logic-level input (i.e. on-board resistor removed), then you'd need to put an inverter inline. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Thank you, Mr. Hylands. I only need to connect *one* of the pins - either the CMOS with the onboard STTXD resistor removed, or I can use TTL Data (inverted) with an inverter/TTL Data (inverted) in RxD on the MiniDin.

Quick question - do I need to remove the resistor on STTXD if I'm not using TXD? My hypothesis is that I could make this really simple for myself by just throwing a 10K resistor on RXD from the ID20 chip, since I'm not transmitting to the ID20 (it's like a magnetic card reader, and has no input...just output).

If you're just receiving, then you need to remove the resistor labelled STTXD (which is really for the STRXD line), and connect the serial output of the ID20 to the STRXD line. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |

Ok thank you - I was trying to think of a way to use STRXD without having to remove the resistor :p No worries. I assume that, when I remove the resistor I'll have to connect the two pads that the resistor was on with a small piece of wire or whatnot?

Nope. The resistor is actually a zero-ohm resistor already (i.e. a piece of wire in a rectangular package). The reason you need to remove it is it you leave it there you will have two things (the onboard RS-232 to logic-level converter) and your ID20 boith trying to drive the same line. Removing the resistor disconnects the onboard RS-232 to logic-level converter. -- Dave Hylands Vancouver, BC, Canada http://www.DaveHylands.com/ |
