I'm new with BeagleBone Black, i'm using Angstrom default distro, often i have trouble with ping,opkg update and ssh.

BeagleBone Black has 2 Network Interface, the virtual one (On USB) and the phisical eth0.

I can connect with SSH only with the USB ip, in the other i obtain:

Write failed: Broken pipe

And I've seen a lot of problems during ping and during opkg update.

OPKG stay sometimes undefinitly on this screen: Downloading http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2012.12/ipk/eglibc/armv7a-vfp-neon/base/Packages.gz.

With no results.

And Ping often can't resolve ping to google.it

Someone had similar issues? Thanks

  • `ping` and `opkg` will have problems if you haven't set the time on the bone. Are you running `/usr/bin/ntpdate -b -s -u pool.ntp.org`? – Ben Apr 02 '14 at 17:49

I ran into a similar issue, this thread might prove helpful in fixing the opkg update problem. Most of the people in that thread do some variation of the following:

  1. Boot your BBB and log in via SSH.

  2. Edit /etc/resolv.conf to add Google's public DNS server:

    # cat "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf

  3. Run 

    # route add default gw 192.168.7.1

  4. Run opkg update and upgrade:

    # opkg update
# opkg upgrade

Keep in mind, that your changes to the /etc/resolv.conf file will be lost at reboot. I have yet to investigate why.
