I powered my Edison development environment up for the first time and had issues.
1. When I connected external 12v power supply, I did not see the system LED come on.(should I have seen this. )
2. When I connected micro usb to port closest to power adapter input, system LED came on and
windows 7 detected it as an external drive. (D:)
3. There were NO files on the external drive that windows 7 detected for Edison.
4. I extracted the Latest image(Yocto Linux ) to the drive. (D:)
5. I verified that New files were present.
6. I moved micro usb connector to port furthest away from power adapter port and system LED went out.
7. Oddly enough, windows 7 detects the Edison board on COM 9.
8. I am ultimately unable to connect via Putty using
serial, COM 9, 115200 baud rate with default settings on all other parameters.
SYstem LED on board is OFF.
any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
