Again… This was not explained clearly….

Are you stating I need a micro SD Card adapter/burner to do this?

I thought I just leave it hooked up to the E310 with the SD card in it and this can be done?

Please clarify… And if I do need a burner, which one do you suggest I buy…

Thanks….

Hi Konstantin,
We have no way of knowing what device the SD Card will enumerate as. There are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk and dmesg to find the name of the device.
Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card and use a USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your host computer.
I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a fair amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and which is necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue helping as possible, but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat less frustrating to make use of the many Linux guides available.
Here is one from SparkFun which covers Windows and Linux.

Nate,

I was unsuccessful with the Windows approach mainly that the file downloaded is a tar....

When trying to use the Win32Image software, it did not find the drive to connect when I had the E310 hooked up via ethernet...  Even though I was able to ping to it through the NIC card.

So, I came up with the option to create a shared drive between my Windows and Linux VM OS.  This took a little work to figure out, but now, I was able to move the unzipped tar file (done by Win7) to the VM Linux OS.

Now, I can use the commands using this link...  My question is what should I use for

<yoursdcard> ?  is it /dev/sdb ?

Thanks....

Nate,

Thanks for the instructions...

I am trying to download the tz file from the website using the VM Linux OS.  My browser locks up.

I also did download the tx file in Windos, but I am unable to connect with the E310 via Ethernet over my Ethernet connection.

Since the installation instructions commands are in Linux, would you please assist me as to why I cannot download the file via the VM?

Thanks

Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,
In regards to the page not showing instructions, please copy and paste the full links listed below. If you note within the screenshot you posted, you have the URL of:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource"

The full address is:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images"

In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given in your terminal screenshot -- This is because the command that you are issuing "/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid. When you issue a command that is the path to a file such as that, the system is attempting to pass the file and execute it via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi", such as "vi /etc/network/interfaces".

I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for the E310 at this point.

You will need to download the .xz file of the release image for the speed grade of your device (details are in the link below for which SG you need based on the serial number), and then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or other similar tool. You will then need to burn the image to the SD card, which can be done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or "bmaptool".

The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the E310 a static IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your VM NIC Settings into a Bridged Mode, and set a static IP Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3", you should be able to connect to the E310 with the root account and no password via SSH.

Nate,

I am close to returning this unit.

I feel that I am doing everything correctly…

  1.  I setup the IP static address correctly in the interfaces via the serial cable – proof that I can ping to it from both Linux and Windows
    
  2.  I double checked both sshd_config files in E310 and Linux VM OS – both have the permission parameter to have no password for login.
    
  3.  VM is in network bridged mode too, as you suggested.
    

When I hookup the Ethernet, I am able to ping, but when I do the ssh command to login, I am still getting the permission denied.

Please tell me any last items to double check before I return the unit, or if I can get someone on the phone to assist me with this issue.

Thanks,

Konstantin

Nate,

I think I know what the issue is…

Unfortunately, I have tried so many permutations of fixes, I think I never updated the E310’s IP address..

I hooked up the serial way and wanted to double check if I updated the
E310’s IP address…

When I tried to get to the following directory, as directed by the
website page,  I received permission denied…

What is the issue?

Thanks

Nate,

I went to start to redo the SD card and the 3rd link gave no instructions.  Here is the screen shot.

Btw,  I received a second SD card with the purchase of the E310.  I plugged that in and it did not work.

Are you sure I need to redo the card?  Or is there an SSH setup on the E310 I may need to do?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

Yes, I suspect there may be an issue with a configuration or change to the SSH configs on your current image. Starting with a fresh release-4 image should resolve the issue.

Nate,  Thanks for all the info..

I just want to refresh your memory that I was able to connect via serial port...  Only root was needed and no password was needed... so that worked fine.. because this is how I altered the IP address of the E310.

So with that stated, should I just jump t refreshing the SD card - step 2?

Hi Konstantin,

You can try connecting via the Serial port [1]. I would suggest to first try undoing any changes you have made to the ssh_config. By default it will not require any passwords.

If that is not successful, I would suggest downloading a fresh release-4 image from [2] and writing it to the SD Card. The SD Card section [3] of the Ettus KB will detail which image you need based on your device serial number.

OK.. I did it your way and I am connecting via ping your way now too....

Bu again, when I do the ssh command, it is asking for a password.

So, I am getting the samething as I was before...

Does ssh have to be setup on the E310???

Is there a way to check/reset the password on the E310?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

After setting the NIC to be Bridged for the VM from VirtualBox, you need to start the VM, then within the System Settings -> Network of the VM, manually set the NIC to have a static IP address.

When operating in bridged mode, did you manually set the (static) IP address within your VM?

As soon I put it into bridged mode, nothing works..  What I mean is that I am not able to communicate/ping to the E310 that way.

It may work maybe for other VM software, but again, I am using Oracle VirtualBox.

Hi Konstantin,

You may want to try putting your VM into a Bridge Network mode. There may be an issue with the NAT routing. If operating in Bridged mode, ensure your Host, VM and E3xx all have different IP addresses.

Hello All,

I have the E310 hooked up with an Ethernet wire, and I can ping from my Linux Ubuntu Virtual machine (created by Oracle VirtualBox software).

But when I try to SSH, I did get access denied.. until I added a  VM rule for port 22 in Network Settings of the VM.

But now I get the password message in the Linux terminal to place a password.  As we know, the password is empty per the instructions on the website.

Did you hit return to see if it gave you a prompt?

So I went into ssh_config file in Linux at ect/ssh and altered
a line that allows for no passwords... This is the site..

But I am still not getting past the password login.

Is there any other advice you can give me?

Hello,

Yes, a micro SD card adapter is needed. I'm going to add to our
documentation to highlight that point. There is no way to overwrite the
entire SD remotely. This is true for nearly every embedded system.

We do not have any recommended micro SD card adapter. There are many from
good brands such as Kingston, Anker, and Transcend on Amazon. I have yet to
encounter an adapter which will not work, including the $2 Kingston one. I
use a USB3 one which supports many different card formats.

Regards,
Derek

Hi Konstantin,

We have no way of knowing what device the SD Card will enumerate as. There
are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk and dmesg to find the
name of the device.

Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card and use a
USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your host computer.

I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a fair
amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and which is
necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue helping as possible,
but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat less frustrating to make use
of the many Linux guides available.

Here is one from SparkFun which covers Windows and Linux.
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sd-cards-and-writing-images

Nate,

I was unsuccessful with the Windows approach mainly that the file
downloaded is a tar....

When trying to use the Win32Image software, it did not find the drive to
connect when I had the E310 hooked up via ethernet...  Even though I was
able to ping to it through the NIC card.

So, I came up with the option to create a shared drive between my Windows
and Linux VM OS.  This took a little work to figure out, but now, I was
able to move the unzipped tar file (done by Win7) to the VM Linux OS.

Now, I can use the commands using this link...  My question is what should
I use for

Nate,

Thanks for the instructions...

I am trying to download the tz file from the website using the VM Linux
OS.  My browser locks up.

I also did download the tx file in Windos, but I am unable to connect with
the E310 via Ethernet over my Ethernet connection.

Since the installation instructions commands are in Linux, would you
please assist me as to why I cannot download the file via the VM?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

In regards to the page not showing instructions, please copy and paste the
full links listed below. If you note within the screenshot you posted, you
have the URL of:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource"

The full address is:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_
Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images"

In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given in your
terminal screenshot -- This is because the command that you are issuing
"/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid. When you issue a command that is
the path to a file such as that, the system is attempting to pass the file
and execute it via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting
to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi", such as "vi
/etc/network/interfaces".

I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for the E310 at
this point.

You will need to download the .xz file of the release image for the speed
grade of your device (details are in the link below for which SG you need
based on the serial number), and then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or
other similar tool. You will then need to burn the image to the SD card,
which can be done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or
"bmaptool".

The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the E310 a static
IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your VM NIC Settings into a
Bridged Mode, and set a static IP Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3",
you should be able to connect to the E310 with the root account and no
password via SSH.

Nate,

I am close to returning this unit.

I feel that I am doing everything correctly…

  1.  I setup the IP static address correctly in the interfaces via
    

the serial cable – proof that I can ping to it from both Linux and Windows

  1.  I double checked both sshd_config files in E310 and Linux VM OS
    

– both have the permission parameter to have no password for login.

  1.  VM is in network bridged mode too, as you suggested.
    

When I hookup the Ethernet, I am able to ping, but when I do the ssh

command to login, I am still getting the permission denied.

Please tell me any last items to double check before I return the unit,

or if I can get someone on the phone to assist me with this issue.

Nate,

I think I know what the issue is…

Unfortunately, I have tried so many permutations of fixes, I think I

never updated the E310’s IP address..

I hooked up the serial way and wanted to double check if I updated the

When I tried to get to the following directory, as directed by the

What is the issue?

I went to start to redo the SD card and the 3rd link gave no

Btw,  I received a second SD card with the purchase of the E310.  I

plugged that in and it did not work.

Are you sure I need to redo the card?  Or is there an SSH setup on the

E310 I may need to do?

Hi Konstantin,

You can try connecting via the Serial port [1]. I would suggest to

first try undoing any changes you have made to the ssh_config. By default
it will not require any passwords.

If that is not successful, I would suggest downloading a fresh

release-4 image from [2] and writing it to the SD Card. The SD Card section
[3] of the Ettus KB will detail which image you need based on your device
serial number.

Hi Konstantin,

After setting the NIC to be Bridged for the VM from VirtualBox, you

need to start the VM, then within the System Settings -> Network of the VM,
manually set the NIC to have a static IP address.

Hi Konstantin,

You may want to try putting your VM into a Bridge Network mode.

There may be an issue with the NAT routing. If operating in Bridged mode,
ensure your Host, VM and E3xx all have different IP addresses.

Thanks for the response…

I just called Best Buy and they confused me. They stated you cannot write ‘files’ to USB SD micro card reader…

I am assuming doing the image is not the same as writing ‘files’…. it is a form of reformatting, so it can be done.

I will go buy one now….

Till my next e-mail.

Again, I am a little perturbed that I have to go through this.  But, it has been a learning activity, and allowed me to learn Linux, but in a more frustrating fahion.

Thanks,

Konstantin

Hello,
Yes, a micro SD card adapter is needed. I'm going to add to our documentation to highlight that point. There is no way to overwrite the entire SD remotely. This is true for nearly every embedded system.
We do not have any recommended micro SD card adapter. There are many from good brands such as Kingston, Anker, and Transcend on Amazon. I have yet to encounter an adapter which will not work, including the $2 Kingston one. I use a USB3 one which supports many different card formats.
Regards,
Derek

Are you stating I need a micro SD Card adapter/burner to do this?

I thought I just leave it hooked up to the E310 with the SD card in it and this can be done?

Please clarify… And if I do need a burner, which one do you suggest I buy…

Thanks….

Hi Konstantin,
We have no way of knowing what device the SD Card will enumerate as. There are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk and dmesg to find the name of the device.
Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card and use a USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your host computer.
I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a fair amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and which is necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue helping as possible, but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat less frustrating to make use of the many Linux guides available.
Here is one from SparkFun which covers Windows and Linux.

Nate,

I was unsuccessful with the Windows approach mainly that the file downloaded is a tar....

When trying to use the Win32Image software, it did not find the drive to connect when I had the E310 hooked up via ethernet...  Even though I was able to ping to it through the NIC card.

So, I came up with the option to create a shared drive between my Windows and Linux VM OS.  This took a little work to figure out, but now, I was able to move the unzipped tar file (done by Win7) to the VM Linux OS.

Now, I can use the commands using this link...  My question is what should I use for

<yoursdcard> ?  is it /dev/sdb ?

Thanks....

Nate,

Thanks for the instructions...

I am trying to download the tz file from the website using the VM Linux OS.  My browser locks up.

I also did download the tx file in Windos, but I am unable to connect with the E310 via Ethernet over my Ethernet connection.

Since the installation instructions commands are in Linux, would you please assist me as to why I cannot download the file via the VM?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,
In regards to the page not showing instructions, please copy and paste the full links listed below. If you note within the screenshot you posted, you have the URL of:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource"

The full address is:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images"

In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given in your terminal screenshot -- This is because the command that you are issuing "/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid. When you issue a command that is the path to a file such as that, the system is attempting to pass the file and execute it via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi", such as "vi /etc/network/interfaces".

I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for the E310 at this point.

You will need to download the .xz file of the release image for the speed grade of your device (details are in the link below for which SG you need based on the serial number), and then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or other similar tool. You will then need to burn the image to the SD card, which can be done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or "bmaptool".

The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the E310 a static IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your VM NIC Settings into a Bridged Mode, and set a static IP Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3", you should be able to connect to the E310 with the root account and no password via SSH.

Nate,

I am close to returning this unit.

I feel that I am doing everything correctly…

  1.  I setup the IP static address correctly in the interfaces via the serial cable – proof that I can ping to it from both Linux and Windows
    
  2.  I double checked both sshd_config files in E310 and Linux VM OS – both have the permission parameter to have no password for login.
    
  3.  VM is in network bridged mode too, as you suggested.
    

When I hookup the Ethernet, I am able to ping, but when I do the ssh command to login, I am still getting the permission denied.

Please tell me any last items to double check before I return the unit, or if I can get someone on the phone to assist me with this issue.

Thanks,

Nate,

I think I know what the issue is…

Unfortunately, I have tried so many permutations of fixes, I think I never updated the E310’s IP address..

I hooked up the serial way and wanted to double check if I updated the
E310’s IP address…

When I tried to get to the following directory, as directed by the
website page,  I received permission denied…

What is the issue?

Thanks

Nate,

I went to start to redo the SD card and the 3rd link gave no instructions.  Here is the screen shot.

Btw,  I received a second SD card with the purchase of the E310.  I plugged that in and it did not work.

Are you sure I need to redo the card?  Or is there an SSH setup on the E310 I may need to do?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

Yes, I suspect there may be an issue with a configuration or change to the SSH configs on your current image. Starting with a fresh release-4 image should resolve the issue.

Nate,  Thanks for all the info..

I just want to refresh your memory that I was able to connect via serial port...  Only root was needed and no password was needed... so that worked fine.. because this is how I altered the IP address of the E310.

So with that stated, should I just jump t refreshing the SD card - step 2?

Hi Konstantin,

You can try connecting via the Serial port [1]. I would suggest to first try undoing any changes you have made to the ssh_config. By default it will not require any passwords.

If that is not successful, I would suggest downloading a fresh release-4 image from [2] and writing it to the SD Card. The SD Card section [3] of the Ettus KB will detail which image you need based on your device serial number.

OK.. I did it your way and I am connecting via ping your way now too....

Bu again, when I do the ssh command, it is asking for a password.

So, I am getting the samething as I was before...

Does ssh have to be setup on the E310???

Is there a way to check/reset the password on the E310?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

After setting the NIC to be Bridged for the VM from VirtualBox, you need to start the VM, then within the System Settings -> Network of the VM, manually set the NIC to have a static IP address.

Hi Konstantin,

When operating in bridged mode, did you manually set the (static) IP address within your VM?

As soon I put it into bridged mode, nothing works..  What I mean is that I am not able to communicate/ping to the E310 that way.

It may work maybe for other VM software, but again, I am using Oracle VirtualBox.

Hi Konstantin,

You may want to try putting your VM into a Bridge Network mode. There may be an issue with the NAT routing. If operating in Bridged mode, ensure your Host, VM and E3xx all have different IP addresses.

Hello All,

I have the E310 hooked up with an Ethernet wire, and I can ping from my Linux Ubuntu Virtual machine (created by Oracle VirtualBox software).

But when I try to SSH, I did get access denied.. until I added a  VM rule for port 22 in Network Settings of the VM.

But now I get the password message in the Linux terminal to place a password.  As we know, the password is empty per the instructions on the website.

Did you hit return to see if it gave you a prompt?

Philip

So I went into ssh_config file in Linux at ect/ssh and altered
a line that allows for no passwords... This is the site..

But I am still not getting past the password login.

Is there any other advice you can give me?

Thanks for the response… I just called Best Buy and they confused me.

I'm going to add to our documentation to highlight that point. There is no way to overwrite the entire SD remotely. This is true for nearly every embedded system. We do not have any recommended micro SD card adapter. There are many from good brands such as Kingston, Anker, and Transcend on Amazon. I have yet to encounter an adapter which will not work, including the $2 Kingston one. I use a USB3 one which supports many different card formats.

There are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk and dmesg to find the name of the device. Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card and use a USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your host computer. I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a fair amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and which is necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue helping as possible, but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat less frustrating to make use of the many Linux guides available.

If you note within the screenshot you posted, you have the URL of: "https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource" The full address is: "https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images" In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given in your terminal screenshot -- This is because the command that you are issuing "/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid. When you issue a command that is the path to a file such as that, the system is attempting to pass the file and execute it via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi", such as "vi /etc/network/interfaces". I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for the E310 at this point. You will need to download the .xz file of the release image for the speed grade of your device (details are in the link below for which SG you need based on the serial number), and then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or other similar tool. You will then need to burn the image to the SD card, which can be done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or "bmaptool". The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the E310 a static IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your VM NIC Settings into a Bridged Mode, and set a static IP Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3", you should be able to connect to the E310 with the root account and no password via SSH. https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Getting_Started_Guides#Serial_Console_Connectivity http://files.ettus.com/e3xx_images/ https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images Regards, Nate Temple > On Aug 4, 2017, at 9:29 AM, Matheou, Konstantin J.

Dekek,

Could the issue be that the ehternet cable that is in the unit is not a crossover cable..  Again, I am connecting the laptop ehternet NIC card directly to the E310…  I am assuming I need a crossover cable since I am hooking this up without going through a router that automatically assigns the IP address via DHCP…

If am done working on this today.. Will tell you tomorrow.

Again, this is something that is not mentioned in your app papers…

I realize that I am not a Linux expert and/or a network IP expert.. I am a comm design expert though….  My point is, if this crossover cable was needed, it should be better documented in your getting started documents.

Konstantin

Hello,
Yes, a micro SD card adapter is needed. I'm going to add to our documentation to highlight that point. There is no way to overwrite the entire SD remotely. This is true for nearly every embedded system.
We do not have any recommended micro SD card adapter. There are many from good brands such as Kingston, Anker, and Transcend on Amazon. I have yet to encounter an adapter which will not work, including the $2 Kingston one. I use a USB3 one which supports many different card formats.
Regards,
Derek

Are you stating I need a micro SD Card adapter/burner to do this?

I thought I just leave it hooked up to the E310 with the SD card in it and this can be done?

Please clarify… And if I do need a burner, which one do you suggest I buy…

Hi Konstantin,
We have no way of knowing what device the SD Card will enumerate as. There are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk and dmesg to find the name of the device.
Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card and use a USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your host computer.
I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a fair amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and which is necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue helping as possible, but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat less frustrating to make use of the many Linux guides available.
Here is one from SparkFun which covers Windows and Linux.

Nate,

Thanks for the instructions...

I am trying to download the tz file from the website using the VM Linux OS.  My browser locks up.

I also did download the tx file in Windos, but I am unable to connect with the E310 via Ethernet over my Ethernet connection.

Since the installation instructions commands are in Linux, would you please assist me as to why I cannot download the file via the VM?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,
In regards to the page not showing instructions, please copy and paste the full links listed below. If you note within the screenshot you posted, you have the URL of:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource"

The full address is:

"https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images"

In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given in your terminal screenshot -- This is because the command that you are issuing "/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid. When you issue a command that is the path to a file such as that, the system is attempting to pass the file and execute it via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi", such as "vi /etc/network/interfaces".

I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for the E310 at this point.

You will need to download the .xz file of the release image for the speed grade of your device (details are in the link below for which SG you need based on the serial number), and then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or other similar tool. You will then need to burn the image to the SD card, which can be done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or "bmaptool".

The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the E310 a static IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your VM NIC Settings into a Bridged Mode, and set a static IP Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3", you should be able to connect to the E310 with the root account and no password via SSH.

Nate,

I am close to returning this unit.

I feel that I am doing everything correctly…

  1.  I setup the IP static address correctly in the interfaces via the serial cable – proof that I can ping to it from both Linux and Windows
    
  2.  I double checked both sshd_config files in E310 and Linux VM OS – both have the permission parameter to have no password for login.
    
  3.  VM is in network bridged mode too, as you suggested.
    

When I hookup the Ethernet, I am able to ping, but when I do the ssh command to login, I am still getting the permission denied.

Please tell me any last items to double check before I return the unit, or if I can get someone on the phone to assist me with this issue.

Nate,

I think I know what the issue is…

Unfortunately, I have tried so many permutations of fixes, I think I never updated the E310’s IP address..

I hooked up the serial way and wanted to double check if I updated the
E310’s IP address…

When I tried to get to the following directory, as directed by the
website page,  I received permission denied…

What is the issue?

Thanks

Nate,

I went to start to redo the SD card and the 3rd link gave no instructions.  Here is the screen shot.

Btw,  I received a second SD card with the purchase of the E310.  I plugged that in and it did not work.

Are you sure I need to redo the card?  Or is there an SSH setup on the E310 I may need to do?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

Yes, I suspect there may be an issue with a configuration or change to the SSH configs on your current image. Starting with a fresh release-4 image should resolve the issue.

I just want to refresh your memory that I was able to connect via serial port...  Only root was needed and no password was needed... so that worked fine.. because this is how I altered the IP address of the E310.

So with that stated, should I just jump t refreshing the SD card - step 2?

Hi Konstantin,

You can try connecting via the Serial port [1]. I would suggest to first try undoing any changes you have made to the ssh_config. By default it will not require any passwords.

If that is not successful, I would suggest downloading a fresh release-4 image from [2] and writing it to the SD Card. The SD Card section [3] of the Ettus KB will detail which image you need based on your device serial number.

Bu again, when I do the ssh command, it is asking for a password.

Does ssh have to be setup on the E310???

Is there a way to check/reset the password on the E310?

Hi Konstantin,

After setting the NIC to be Bridged for the VM from VirtualBox, you need to start the VM, then within the System Settings -> Network of the VM, manually set the NIC to have a static IP address.

You may want to try putting your VM into a Bridge Network mode. There may be an issue with the NAT routing. If operating in Bridged mode, ensure your Host, VM and E3xx all have different IP addresses.

Dekek, Could the issue be that the ehternet cable that is in the unit is not a crossover cable..

Dear Konstantin,

Could the issue be that the ehternet cable that is in the unit is not
a crossover cable.

no, that is usually not the case. If you're getting as far as being
asked for a password, your SSH client is connecting to /something/. So,
we can rule low-level network out.

Best regards,

Marcus

since I am hooking this up without going through a router that
automatically assigns the IP address via DHCP…

If am done working on this today.. Will tell you tomorrow.

Again, this is something that is not mentioned in your app papers…

I realize that I am not a Linux expert and/or a network IP expert.. I
am a comm design expert though….  My point is, if this crossover cable
was needed, it should be better documented in your getting started
documents.

Hello,

Yes, a micro SD card adapter is needed. I'm going to add to our
documentation to highlight that point. There is no way to overwrite
the entire SD remotely. This is true for nearly every embedded system.

We do not have any recommended micro SD card adapter. There are many
from good brands such as Kingston, Anker, and Transcend on Amazon. I
have yet to encounter an adapter which will not work, including the $2
Kingston one. I use a USB3 one which supports many different card formats.

Regards,

Derek

 I thought I just leave it hooked up to the E310 with the SD card

 Please clarify… And if I do need a burner, which one do you
 suggest I buy…

  

 Thanks….

 Hi Konstantin,

 We have no way of knowing what device the SD Card will enumerate
 as. There are many guides online for using utilities like fdisk
 and dmesg to find the name of the device.

 Using Windows or Linux you will need to remove the micro SD card
 and use a USB to micro SD card adapter to mount the disk on your
 host computer.

 I'm sorry you are having such difficulty with the E310. There is a
 fair amount of Linux knowledge which is assumed by the manuals and
 which is necessary to use the E310 effectively. We can continue
 helping as possible, but it will be faster and hopefully somewhat
 less frustrating to make use of the many Linux guides available.

 Here is one from SparkFun which covers Windows and Linux.
 https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sd-cards-and-writing-images

  

 Regards,

 Derek

     So, I came up with the option to create a shared drive between
     my Windows and Linux VM OS.  This took a little work to figure
     out, but now, I was able to move the unzipped tar file (done
     by Win7) to the VM Linux OS.

     Now, I can use the commands using this link...  My question is
     what should I use for

     Hi Konstantin,

     In regards to the page not showing instructions, please copy
     and paste the full links listed below. If you note within the
     screenshot you posted, you have the URL of:

     "https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resource"

     The full address is:

     "https://kb.ettus.com/Ettus_USRP_E300_Embedded_Family_Hardware_Resources#SD_Card_Images"

     In regards to the permission denied prompt that is being given
     in your terminal screenshot -- This is because the command
     that you are issuing "/etc/network/interfaces" is not valid.
     When you issue a command that is the path to a file such as
     that, the system is attempting to pass the file and execute it
     via the default shell (/bin/sh). I suspect you're attempting
     to edit the file, which can be done with the utility "vi",
     such as "vi /etc/network/interfaces".

     I would suggest starting with a fresh "release-4" image for
     the E310 at this point.

     You will need to download the .xz file of the release image
     for the speed grade of your device (details are in the link
     below for which SG you need based on the serial number), and
     then decompress it with a 7z (7zip) or other similar tool. You
     will then need to burn the image to the SD card, which can be
     done with WinDisk32Imager or the Linux utility "dd", or
     "bmaptool".

     The default setting for the "release-4" image will give the
     E310 a static IP address of 192.168.10.2. If you then put your
     VM NIC Settings into a Bridged Mode, and set a static IP
     Address within the VM to "192.168.1.3", you should be able to
     connect to the E310 with the root account and no password via SSH.

Nate,

I am close to returning this unit.

I feel that I am doing everything correctly…

  1.  I setup the IP static address correctly in the
    
     interfaces via the serial cable – proof that I can ping to it
     from both Linux and Windows
  1.  I double checked both sshd_config files in E310 and
    
     Linux VM OS – both have the permission parameter to have no
     password for login.
  1.  VM is in network bridged mode too, as you suggested.
    

When I hookup the Ethernet, I am able to ping, but when I do

     the ssh command to login, I am still getting the permission

Please tell me any last items to double check before I

I hooked up the serial way and wanted to double check if I

Btw,  I received a second SD card with the purchase of the

Are you sure I need to redo the card?  Or is there an SSH

Yes, I suspect there may be an issue with a configuration or

Hi Konstantin,

You can try connecting via the Serial port [1]. I would

     suggest to first try undoing any changes you have made to the
     ssh_config. By default it will not require any passwords.

If that is not successful, I would suggest downloading a

     fresh release-4 image from [2] and writing it to the SD Card.
     The SD Card section [3] of the Ettus KB will detail which
     image you need based on your device serial number.

OK.. I did it your way and I am connecting via ping your

     way now too....

Bu again, when I do the ssh command, it is asking for a

     password.

So, I am getting the samething as I was before...

Does ssh have to be setup on the E310???

Is there a way to check/reset the password on the E310?

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

After setting the NIC to be Bridged for the VM from

     VirtualBox, you need to start the VM, then within the System
     Settings -> Network of the VM, manually set the NIC to have a
     static IP address.

Hi Konstantin,

When operating in bridged mode, did you manually set the

     (static) IP address within your VM?

Nate,

As soon I put it into bridged mode, nothing works..

     What I mean is that I am not able to communicate/ping to the
     E310 that way.

It may work maybe for other VM software, but again, I

     am using Oracle VirtualBox.

Thanks

Hi Konstantin,

You may want to try putting your VM into a Bridge

     Network mode. There may be an issue with the NAT routing. If
     operating in Bridged mode, ensure your Host, VM and E3xx all
     have different IP addresses.

Hello All,

I have the E310 hooked up with an Ethernet wire, and

     I can ping from my Linux Ubuntu Virtual machine (created by
     Oracle VirtualBox software).

But when I try to SSH, I did get access denied..

     until I added a  VM rule for port 22 in Network Settings of
     the VM.

But now I get the password message in the Linux

     terminal to place a password.  As we know, the password is
     empty per the instructions on the website.

Did you hit return to see if it gave you a prompt?

Philip

So I went into ssh_config file in Linux at ect/ssh

     and altered

a line that allows for no passwords... This is the site..
http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/ssh

But I am still not getting past the password login.

Is there any other advice you can give me?

Thanks,
