2. BeagleBone Black Setup
2.1 Overview
Setting up the CDC_ETHER connection on the BeagleBone Black allows for automatic
setup and connection, providing an easy way to get a internet data connection to your
BeagleBone Black.
2.2 BeagleBone Black Setup
Start your BeagleBone Black and login as
root
.
2.2 Modem Setup
You will need to set your APN in the modem. To do this, connect to the modem using a
terminal program such as
screen
,
minicom
, or
picocom
. This example uses
picocom
, and the modem will show up as
/dev/ttyACM0
:
# picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyACM0
Once connected, issue the following command:
AT%PDNSET=1,"[your apn]","IP"
replacing
[your apn]
with the APN of your SIM. For instance, if you setup your
modem with a NimbeLink AT&T SIM activated on go.nimbelink.com, your APN is
10569.mcs
and you would enter:
AT%PDNSET=1,"10569.mcs","IP"
If you activated a NimbeLink T-Mobile SIM on go.nimbelink.com, your APN is
c2.korem2m.com
and you would enter:
AT%PDNSET=1,"c1.korem2m.com","IP"
Reboot your BeagleBone Black.
