Can't see USB hard drive

[Rikk Sullenberger]

I am trying to attatch a 360gig USB2 NTFS hard drive to a Beaglebone Black. The drive does not show up under the /dev/ tree, doesn't show up with lsusb, doesn't show up in dmesg..

The drive is self powered, I have tried a different hub, different hard drive, the hard drive works on a raspberry..

Anyone had this happen? I bought this BBB a year ago and just started playing with it...


Thanks in advance!

3.8.13-bone47 is pretty old.. How are you powering the bbb? 5volt dc
jack right????

Give one of the jessie lxqt shapshots a try with a more modern kernel:

If the drive does not show up from the output of lsusb, then the hardware isn't connecting to the OS. So, I would suggest bypassing the USB HUB for a temporary test, and see if the drive shows up like that.

3.8.13-bone47 might be old, but I know it works with external self powered USB hard drives. As I've booted from USB in the past . . . Note the date of this blog post I wrote . . . over two years ago. http://www.embeddedhobbyist.com/2013/07/beaglebone-black-usb-boot/

By the way, I would not recommend following that information for current up to date Debian images. I should probably write up an update for newer images . . .

Just tried the drive minus the hub,  no luck.  I tried with a split cable (power/USB)  and a standard cable (peed from the  BBB...  Sane issue.  :(

Well then Rikk, your best option at this point may be to google something like "LInux USB hard drive x.y.z", find unique fixes, and experiment. But "x.y.z" would be whatever keyword that returns useful results. Which may also require some experimentation . . .

This does totally "smell" of a USB driver issue to me  . . .

Its not an external drive, but I just plugged a 1GB USB memory stick into my BBG running "latest" 2015-11-12 with all upgrades as of about five days ago.  While nothing auto mounted, and lsusb didn't show anything I could recognize as the USB stick, /dev/sd and /dev/sda1 appeared

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt let me list the files.


Are the ntfs tools installed on your system?  ('m not certain of the actual package name),  are they installed on the beaglebone.org images?

[William Hermans]

OK that's odd . . .

So what I was going to before, was to run fdisk -l and see if the drive shows up there, but lsusb always showed my usb driver controller for my external hard drive. Maybe this is some sort of USB thumb drive sort of thing ? *shrug*

[Rikk Sullenberger]

It must have been a bad/old image. I loaded the current Dabein image and the USB is working now. Thank you very much for your help!

[Rikk Sullenberger]

Ok, interesting finding. I have everything running on an sd card. started moving to emmc and no USB, nothing at all.. I've come to the conclusion that maybe the emmc versions of the op system has a cut down kernel.

I haven't reworked a kernel in 15 years or so.. I'm going to do this, but I ask, any ideas of a good on line tutor for kernel rework?

[William Hermans]

Here's Robert's guide for downloading tools, uboot source, kernel source, and scripts to compile / set it all up.
