In this section, we will set up the serial and Ethernet connections by continuing the targetupdater process provided by MATLAB and Simulink. Follow these steps to do it:
Go back to the targetupdater dialog and select the COM port of the RS232-USB connection to the BeagleBoard. As we discussed earlier, the COM port for the BeagleBoard can be found from Windows Device Manager.
Power on the BeagleBoard by the 5V wall adapter and press the RESET button of the BeagleBoard to reboot. Then click on Next in the targetupdater dialog. When a reset of BeagleBoard is detected, it displays the progress of the booting of the BeagleBoard.
Configure the IP address of the BeagleBoard. After the BeagleBoard is booted up, you will have a configure board dialog (see the following screenshot). Type in a unique name for the BeagleBoard (for example,
myBBxM-01
). Supposing you connect the BeagleBoard and host PC via the Ethernet hub with DHCP services, it is recommended to use dynamic IP address...
