BBB connectivity from Yosemite at 192.168.7.2

[Charles Quarra]

Hi,

I am getting erratic connection access via USB to the 192.168.7.2 in Yosemite 10.10.5. In Network, I've had luck by switching the 'BeagleBoneBlack' interface from DHCP to DHCP with manual address and setting it to 192.168.7.1. Sometimes switching it back to DHCP makes it get the 192.168.7.1 ip correctly. Now, the DHCP option just shows no IP and clicking advanced > renew DHCP lease will not bring anything


I can access the BBB via tty:

> screen /dev/tty.usb* 115200

....

ifconfig -a usb0

usb0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b0:d5:cc:ff:e7:d0

          inet addr:192.168.7.2  Bcast:192.168.7.3  Mask:255.255.255.252

          inet6 addr: fe80::b2d5:ccff:feff:e7d0/64 Scope:Link

          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:134 (134.0 B)

I've tried doing `/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.7.1` but I still cannot ping to the host (Host Unreachable)

previously, it has 'fixed itself' by shutting down the BBB (always with shutdown -h now inside terminal) unplugging and plugging back into host, but now that is not helping either

I also tried deleting the network interface, and creating a new one. That worked one time and I got access to 192.168.7.2 and the C9 ide at 192.168.7.2:3000, but it doesn't seem to work anymore either

Any ideas how to solve/debug this?
