This is the latest (main) BeagleBoard documentation. If you are looking for stable releases, use the drop-down menu on the bottom-left and select the desired version.

Peripherals

Note

Most Keyboards, Mouse, and USB Hubs are plug-and-play devices and are supported out of the box in Linux. The list below only shows a subset that has been tested by contributors. Many other options will work without any additional tinkering required on behalf of the user.

Keyboard & Mouse Combo

With limited ports availability on BeagleBones it is recommended to use wireless Keyboard & Mouse combos.

Keyboards

Make sure that you plug the keyboard into the USB Host connector before powering on the board.

Mice

Make sure that you plug the mouse into the USB Host connector before powering on the board.

USB HUBS

Make sure that you plug the HUB into the USB Host connector before powering on the board.

Tip

Make sure you are powering BeagleBone with decent power supply with enough current before attaching any additional peripherals. If you require many USB peripheral USB devices to be attached, consider using a “Powered USB Hub” See Power supplies for more information on power requirements.
