Connecting The BeagleBone black rev c to the mac using ethernet

[amrmuham...@gmail.com]

I need to connect the BeagleBone black revision C to the MacBook using an ethernet cable and ssh to it, I searched the web but I couldn't find a direct way to connect it to the mac without the usage of access point

Normally, if both were connected to a router (or similar) they would
both get their IP addresses from the router using DHCP.

If there is nothing else except the BBB and the MacBook with just a
direct ethernet/UTP cable between them then you need to somehow
provide both systems with an IP address

The simplest way to do this is probably to give them both static/fixed
IP addresses. I'm not familiar with the MacBook but it should be
fairly easy to give that a static IP using the GUI. Then you need to
do the same for the BBB giving it a static IP on the same subnet as
the MacBook (e.g. make the MacBook 192.168.1.5 and the BBB 192.168.1.6).

However it's a bit difficult to advise how to give the BBB a fixed IP
without knowing what other ways you have to access it and/or modify
its configuration. Can you get to the BBB's GUI? Can you plug it
into a computer using the USB (and thus access it via the 192.168.7.0
subnet)? You will have to fire up the BBB some way or other and
connect to it before being able to give it a static IP.

Take a look to this link:

The solution applies not only to RPi but also to BBB.

From your router you can see the MAC of the BBB; that's the fastest way to figure out the IP of the BBB.

Then if you can setup your router to give the same IP to the same MAC, I would suggest to do so; in this way you have always the same IP when you plug in the board.

Also you can use a bonjour browser to find your BBB IP, it advertises an avahi zeroconf bonjour entity on the network for discovery.

On the BBB you can type:

ip addr show

and it will list all network devices and the ip address for each one.

Then you can ssh into the BBB using

ssh deb...@192.168.1.???
