Hi everyone,
im trying bootup a Arch in Beaglebone... i followed the steps to install from archlinuxarm site(http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/beaglebone).
I created the partitions using Gparted, the first with 128mb, the second with 4gb, and also formatted with the commands:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "bootloader" /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 -L "rootfs" /dev/sdb2
(Using /dev/sdb because is a miniSDCard adapter to SD Card)
I have copied the "/boot/uImage" file from the ext3 partition to the fat16 partition, and boot the beaglebone with the miniSD.
However, even following all these steps, ethernet not comes on.
In my Ubuntu PC(where the beaglebone is connected by miniUSB cable) i can see a "Auto usb0" connection, but could not connect, and accessing my network modem i could not see the beaglebone connected in my network.
I messed up at some point?
It may be that my usb-ethernet connection is in conflict with the ethernet connection?
Exist other way to access the board without ethernet, like a serial terminal? I tried use Minicom to access, but i have not obtained success.
Just for information, i am using a network cable(to ethernet access) and a miniUSB cable(to power up) in my beaglebone.
Thanks in advance,
Felipe Nipo.
