Pins don't exist when connecting Beaglebone with the support package

Hello,

I am trying to connect my beaglebone to matlab using the support package, but when I do the IO pins and LED's don't show up in the properties output, and can't be read or written to. When I run

bbb = beaglebone("192.168.7.2", "debian", "temppwd")

The output is this:

bbb =

beaglebone with properties:

DeviceAddress: '192.168.7.2'

BoardName: ' Rev '

AvailableLEDs: []

AvailableDigitalPins: []

AvailableAnalogPins: []

AvailablePWMPins: []

AvailableSPIChannels: []

AvailableI2CBuses: []

AvailableSerialPorts: []

AvailableWebcams: []

From what I have seen there should be values in most of these fields, especially AvailableDigitalPins and AvailiableLEDs.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks

Hey Kemper,

I understand that the MATLAB Support Package for BeagleBone Black is not correctly identifying the hardware details of your BeagleBone.

Make sure that you have installed all the required drivers on your host computer.

Please refer the provided documentation for guidance on configuring the hardware and understanding the essential setup tasks necessary for the support package to establish communication with the BeagleBone Hardware and update the board's firmware.

Hope this helps.
