Wireless ssh link to BBB

Post by Dryberg »

Hello Adafruit!

I am interested in creating a wireless ssh link from my windows PC to my beaglebone black. Any thoughts on how this might be done? I've come up with a possible solution using two XBee modules of which I've attached a diagram. Another possible solution might be to use the bluefruit breakout board found here https://www.adafruit.com/products/1588.

In either case, I'm looking to make a connection that will appear as a simple COM port on either side. I understand that this wouldn't have the full capabilities of a USB connection, but since my SSH link will be limited to 115200 baud anyway I figure this won't be a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could use XBees as you've shown, but it would probably be easier to plug in a USB wifi dongle. That's how I do it.
