beagleboneblue

Create connection to BeagleBone Blue hardware

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Coder Support Package for Beaglebone Blue Hardware add-on.

Syntax

bbblue = beagleboneblue

bbblue = beagleboneblue(ipaddress)

bbblue = beagleboneblue(ipaddress,username,password)

Description

bbblue = beagleboneblue creates a connection, bbblue from the MATLAB^®software to the BeagleBone^® Blue hardware. This connection reuses the IP address, user name, and password from most recent connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware.

bbblue = beagleboneblue(ipaddress) creates a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware using the IP address that you specify.

bbblue = beagleboneblue(ipaddress,username,password) creates a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware using the IP address, user name, and password that you specify. The BeagleBone Blue hardware has a default user name, 'debian'. The default password for 'debian' is 'temppwd'.

Examples

Connect to BeagleBone Blue Hardware Using USB Cable

Create a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware.

bbblue = beagleboneblue

bbblue = 

  beagleboneblue with properties:

    DeviceAddress: '192.168.7.2'
             Port: 22

This connection reuses the IP address, user name, and password from most recent connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware.

The resulting object, bbblue, represents the BeagleBone Blue hardware.

Connect to BeagleBone Blue Hardware over Wireless Network Using IP Address

To create a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware that connects to a wireless network:

1. Connect the BeagleBone Blue hardware and your computer using a wireless network that has DHCP services. To connect to a wireless network, start the hardware setup process, as described in Hardware Setup and follow onscreen instructions.

2. Get the IP address of the wireless connection on the BeagleBone Blue hardware. To get the IP address, do any one of the following:

   • Use the command line on the hardware, as described in Get the IP Address from the Linux Command Line.

   • Use an SSH command-line session, as described in Open a Secure Shell Command-Line Session with BeagleBone Blue Hardware.

3. Create a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware at the IP address that you specify.

   bbblue = beagleboneblue('172.28.201.43')
   

   bbblue = 
   
     beagleboneblue with properties:
   
       DeviceAddress: '172.28.201.43'
                Port: 22

3. Create a connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware at the IP address that you specify.

   bbblue = beagleboneblue('172.28.201.43','debian','temppwd')
   

   bbblue = 
   
     beagleboneblue with properties:
   
       DeviceAddress: '172.28.201.43'
                Port: 22
   

Input Arguments

ipaddress — IP address of BeagleBone Blue hardware

192.168.7.2 (default) | valid IPv4 address

The IPv4 address of the BeagleBone Blue hardware, specified as a character vector. When you use a USB cable to connect your computer to the BeagleBone Blue hardware, IP address of the USB port on the hardware is the default IP address, 192.168.7.2. To connect over a wireless network instead of a USB cable, use this argument to specify the IP address of the wireless connection.

Example: '172.28.201.43'

Data Types: char

username — User name of BeagleBone Blue hardware

'debian' (default) | user name

The user name of the BeagleBone Blue hardware, specified as a character vector.

Example: 'debian'

Data Types: char

password — Password of BeagleBone Blue hardware

'temppwd' (default) | user password

The password of the BeagleBone Blue hardware, specified as a character vector.

Example: 'temppwd'

Data Types: char

Output Arguments

bbblue — Connection to BeagleBone Blue hardware

beagleboneblue object

Connection to the BeagleBone Blue hardware, returned as an object handle.
