Listening to: Belfast Child - Simple Minds

Ok having nutted out how to talk to my dev board using the USB-serial connection… I then wanted to use the USBNET connection. Again this required some new drivers - but it was basically done by following the instructions outlined here.

The biggest hassle was setting up USB Ethernet on the Mac. You don’t have a comparable ifconfig call to make as you would under Linux. You need to install the USB drivers (additionally this if you’re running 10.5.x), wait for OSX to do it’s stuff and then set up the network connection in the ‘Network’ prefs panel. Once you’ve done that you can execute the relevant ifconfig call via the serial connection and then ssh using the OSX terminal.
