Hi, Naveen,

I don't have the C5 beagleboard.

Are you seeing any USB plug/unplug events on the serial console?

Hi Peter

I coun't see any USB messages since it continuasly displaying this
message
DHCPCD: DHCPCD ALREADY RUNNING ON PID 1774 (/NTHCODE/LATEST/INSTALL/
USR//VAR/RUN/DHCPCD.PD)

PROCESS: DHCPCD KILLING ANY CHILDREN IN PROCESS GROUP

I'm thinking since it's not completing it's boot process I'm not able
to use the keyboard and mouse

I can see nthcode player menu on my LCD screen

Thanks

Hi, Naveen,

Can you try inserting the mmc card into your PC, and them removing the
file dhcpcd.pid that is mentioned below? I have seen that issue
sometimes and this has fixed it. It is a bug, to be sure.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help

Hi, Naveen,

Glad to hear that fixed the issue. The kernel we supply with the demo
activates the mini-usb port, not the main one. This is because the
earlier BeagleBoards we have do not have a working standard USB port,
so we were never able to test it. Can you try connecting a powered
USB-hub to the mini-USB port, and then plug the mouse and keyboard
into it?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I have the same problem, HW Version: beagleboard C4

Thanks
Mariano

[Peter McDermott]

Hi, Mariano,

I suspect we need to upgrade the kernel to be able to support the USB
on the C4. You may have success by plugging a powered USB hub into
the mini-USB port, though.

Please let me know if that helps or not.

Best,

Peter
