No USB on BeagleBone White

No USB on BeagleBone White

[Gary Thomas]

I need to resurrect my old BeagleBone White and I'm trying to
do it using Poky/Yocto + meta-ti.  I've managed to build and
boot my board, but it detects nothing when something is plugged
into the USB [not OTG/serial-port] port.

Any ideas what I need to do to get this going?  The board is
pretty useless to me without the extra USB.

Thanks

Which kernel recipe do you use?

I used the default from meta-ti/master
   linux-ti-staging/3.14.35-r22e+gitrAUTOINC+b60f54ead7

I also had an old image left around from last June which was a 3.12.20
kernel which has the same behaviour.

I've tried this on both a BeagleBone Black and White (I have
one of each side-by-side on my desk) and USB does not work
on either.

Is there some configuration I'm missing or something?

Note: I'm building using the simple layer setup I have at
   https://github.com/GaryThomas/meta-bbb.git
Look at

Can you check that you have these 2 commits in your OE-Core layer:

Yes, I'm using the latest master.

This question did lead me to the answer: my image had no kernel
modules, hence there was no USB support!  I added in the correct
modules and now I have USB.

Thanks
