1) Steps to connect Beagle bone black to CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP)

1) Connect Beagle Bone Black pins on Jumper 1 ,
1 - Ground , 4 - TxD, 5 - RxD to CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) hardware Gound TxD and RxD

2) Connect CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) to PC where we should have already installed Linux Ubuntu 14.x.x what ever is latest version of OS from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop

3) Documentation for installation of ubuntu is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation

4) Login to Ubuntu Linux and press Ctrl+Alt+T to bring up the Terminal Window.

5) Connect Beagle Bone Black Mini USB to USB on the PC . This supplies power and also has connection and Inbuilt Ethernet over USB protocol as Network Demon running on Sitara 335x processor .

5) On the terminal setup  communication between Beagle Bone Black and PC via the CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port.

6) Command : sudo minicom -s

7)  Once the GUI is up select " Serial Port Setup " give parameters


8) Select exit from Minicom
9) type command "sudo minicom -o"
10)  Once Prompt comes press "Enter" key
11) Give password as "Root" following should be your screen once you login to beagle bone black over USB-> UART



12) Command to connect Ethernet Demon over USB  "ssh root@192.168.7.2"

13) Command to send files or copy files to Beagle Bone Black " scp uEnv.txt root@192.168.7.2:   "

13) The Minimal SOC has UART protocol implemented on SOC hardware . So for minimal instructions that support would be UART .

14) Once Ethernet Deamon is up you can have the Ethernet over USB protocol . You will need minimal OS to run Ethernet over USB .

15) Now you should have 2 Terminal one with  Serial over USB using Minicom application and 2nd one is  Ethernet over USB as shown in below screen .
