Solution
There is no network in place when the Bone first boots up, so
Recipe 5.3
and
Recipe 5.4
won't work. This recipe uses some extra hardware (FTDI cable) to attach to the Bone's
console serial port.
To make this recipe, you will need:
▪ 3.3 V FTDI cable (see
“Miscellaneous”
)
WARNING
Be sure to get a 3.3 V FTDI cable (shown in
Figure 5-2
)
, because the 5 V cables won't work.
TIP
The Bone's Serial Debug J1 connector has Pin 1 connected to ground, Pin 4 to receive, and Pin
5 to transmit. The other pins are not attached.
