Beaglebone USB TestDrive

Belcarra has created Beagle TestDrive, an edition of Belcarra’s USB Testdrive for the BeagleBone Black to allow rapid prototyping of networking over USB protocols.   Testdrive uses the Beaglebone as a proxy for an OEM device on the device side of the USB link.  Matching demo editions of Belcarra USBLAN for Windows are automatically installed on the host PC from Windows Update as necessary.

Beagle TestDrive is provided as a MicroSD SDHC image. The Beaglebone Black can boot TestDrive without modifying the onboard firmware.

Features of Beagle Testdrive

  • Modern iperf and iperf3 network test tools are available. These allow flexible network tests using either IPv4 or IPv6, UDP or TCP, various TCP options, and multiple streams. The tester should install iperf3 on the PC
  • Traditional web testing tools, either client or server are also available
  • Simple commands change the USB network configuration (protocol, hardware ID) dynamically until the next reboot, or select one of several USB configurations which take effect at the next boot.
