Install [http://msysgit.github.com/ msysgit]. This is a version of git for Windows based on msys (a unix like shell for Windows) which includes ssh. This solution is simple if all you need to do is connect to your bone.

3.8 Kernel

These instructions are for the 3.8 kernel. EBC Exercise 02 Out-of-the-Box, Bone 3.2 Kernel has instructions for the 3.2 kernel.

Getting Started

We'll be running the 3.8 kernel, check out these instructions for getting started. The come back here to get your network set up.

Internet Connection

One of the slickest features of the Bone is it's ability to access the Internet through the USB connection. You should have already used it following the instructions above. Below shows how to set up your host and Bone so the bone can access the internet through your host.

Linux

Run:

host$ ifconfig
eth0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:8b:72:b8:c2  
         inet addr:137.112.41.109  Bcast:137.112.41.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
         inet6 addr: fe80::218:8bff:fe72:b8c2/64 Scope:Link
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
         RX packets:8481193 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:1871287 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
         RX bytes:3172154531 (3.1 GB)  TX bytes:203188180 (203.1 MB)
         Interrupt:19 

eth4     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr d4:94:a1:39:ff:ff  
         inet addr:192.168.7.1  Bcast:192.168.7.3  Mask:255.255.255.252
         inet6 addr: fe80::d694:a1ff:fe39:ffff/64 Scope:Link
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

         TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
         RX bytes:2775 (2.7 KB)  TX bytes:1234 (1.2 KB)

lo       Link encap:Local Loopback  
         inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
         inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
         UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
         RX packets:37315 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:37315 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
         RX bytes:3665320 (3.6 MB)  TX bytes:3665320 (3.6 MB)

You'll see at new network has appear, eth4 in my case. The IP address is 192.168.7.1. There's a good chance the Bone is at 192.168.7.2. Try connecting to it.

host$ ssh -X root@192.168.7.2
beagle$ 

You are now logged into the Bone through the network. This is much faster than the serial port (.115M vs. 100M) and supports many interesting network things. The only problem is, the Beagle doesn't know how to access the Internet through the host. Get back to the host computer by entering RETURN ~ ^Z. That is, hit RETURN, then ~ (it's up there near the ESC key) and then Ctrl-Z. This gets you back to your host, but leaves the ssh connection running.

Copy the following lines into a file call host.ipForward.sh

#!/bin/bash
# These are the commands to run on the host to setup IP masquerading so the Beagle
#  can access the Internet through the USB connection.
# Inspired by http://thoughtshubham.blogspot.com/2010/03/internet-over-usb-otg-on-beagleboard.html

if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "Usage: $0 interface (such as eth0 or wlan0)"
exit 1
fi

interface=$1
hostAddr=192.168.7.1
beagleAddr=192.168.7.2
ip_forward=/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

if [ `cat $ip_forward` == 0 ]
  then
    echo "You need to set IP forwarding. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf using:"
    echo "$ sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf"
    echo "and uncomment the line   \"net.ipv4.ip_forward=1\""
    echo "to enable forwarding of packets. Then run the following:"
    echo "$ sudo sysctl -p"
    exit 1
  else
    echo "IP forwarding is set on host."
fi
# Setup  IP masquerading on the host
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o $interface -j MASQUERADE

# Check to see what nameservers the host is using and copy these to the same
#  file on the Beagle
# This makes it so you can connect to the Beagle without using your password.
ssh-copy-id root@$beagleAddr
# Save the /etc/resolv.conf on the Beagle in case we mess things up.
ssh root@$beagleAddr "mv -n /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.orig"
# Copy the resolv.conf file to the Beagle.  Now the Beagle will use the
# same name servers as the host.
cat /etc/resolv.conf - << EOF > /tmp/resolv.conf
nameserver 137.112.18.59
nameserver 137.112.5.28
nameserver 137.112.4.196
search rose-hulman.edu
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
EOF
scp /tmp/resolv.conf root@$beagleAddr:/etc
# Tell the beagle to use the host as the gateway.
ssh root@$beagleAddr "/sbin/route add default gw $hostAddr"

Now run:

host$ chmod +x host.ipForward.sh
host$ ./host.ipForward.sh eth0

This will give you instructions on how to set up your host and will remotely set up your Beagle. Note: If you are using a wireless connection you should use host$ ./host.ipForward.sh wlan0

Once ./host.ipForward.sh has been run you can:

host$ fg
ssh -X root@192.168.7.2
(Hit RETURN)
beagle$ ping google.com

You should see Google responding. Hit Ctrl-C to stop.

Congratulations! Your Beagle is now on the network through your host computer.

OSX

I haven't checked these instructions this year. Please report your results and update if needed.

  1. go to System Preferences and select Network
  2. You should see RNDIS/...Gadget. This is the network connection to the Beagle. Select it
  3. Wait for the IP address 192.168.7.1 to appear
  4. Click Show All and select Sharing
  5. Select Internet Sharing
  6. Select RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget

In a terminal window connect to the serial port

host$ screen /dev/ttyusb*B 115200
beagle$ udhcpc -i usb0
beagle$ ping google.com

This is all nicely shown here in this silent YouTube movie.

Congratulations, you now have a connection to the Internet.

Windows 7

I haven't checked these either. Please report results and update if needed.

There are several ways of running ssh on Windows 7. Below are a couple of tools that you can use.

Cygwin

Install Cygwin. There are many packages that you can install that aren't installed by default:

Required

  1. openssh

Optional

  1. make
  2. gcc-core
  3. gcc-g++
  4. gdb
  5. git

This solution is more involved, but it allows you to install development tools.

Environment Setup

You can either run ssh from a bash terminal (i.e. C:\Program Files\Git\Git Bash or C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat), or you can add the bin directories to your path and run from the Windows command prompt (i.e. add C:\Program Files\Git\bin or C:\cygwin\bin to your path).

Note: Be careful adding multiple bin directories to your path

First time setup

  1. Run regedit
  2. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters
  3. Change IPEnableRouter from 0 to 1
  4. Close regedit
  5. Run services
  6. Make sure the following are set to Automatic and are started
    1. Routing and Remote Access
    2. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Connecting to the Internet

After ejecting

  1. Navigate to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Change adapter settings
  2. Right click your wired/wireless internet connection and go to Properties
  3. Go to the Sharing tab
  4. Check the box to Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection
  5. Select your bone's local area connection for the Home networking connection (if you cannot choose the local area connection, turn your internet connection sharing off and then back on)

Open a command prompt or bash terminal and run the following:

host$ ping 192.168.7.2

If this ping times out then disable and re-enable your bone's local area connection and try again. Once it works run the following:

host$ ssh root@192.168.7.2

Login as root and run the following:

beagle$ echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
beagle$ echo "nameserver 8.8.8.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf
beagle$ /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1
beagle$ ping google.com

Congratulations, you now have a connection to the Internet.
