As far as I can tell, bela is supposed to work out of the box without a micro SD card. This is the fourth bela purchase where I've had to come to this forum just to load the ide.

As usual
0.3.8
Connected via dongle
the USB disk loads
IP addresses fail
Bela.local fails.
Nothing coming up in network panel in sys prefs.
Tried update_board, can't connect.
horndis won't install.

Macos 12.3.1 (21E258) (I updated and probably lost a ton of 32 bit stuff just to check)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)

2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

    audiomatt As far as I can tell, bela is supposed to work out of the box without a micro SD card.

    that's correct: it's pre-flashed during packaging with the latest (or almost...) available image.

    audiomatt This is the fourth bela purchase where I've had to come to this forum just to load the ide.

    Sorry to hear that, that's definitely not the experience we are aiming for. Let's get into it.

    audiomatt 0.3.8

    Latest image is v0.3.8f. On v0.3.8 (which is 2 years old and only shipped for about a month, therefore is unlikely to be on a newly purchased board), HORNDiS wouldn't work (this is a separate issue from you not being able to install it, thought).

    audiomatt horndis won't install.

    Well, I'd hoped that's fine: you shouldn't need it starting with v0.3.8. Or at least, network worked well without HoRNDiS from Catalina 10.15 through to to macos 11 (tested). We haven't tested on macos 12, but I don't think I have seen any report that it stopped working.

    Can you show the output of the following commands on your computer's terminal?:

    ifconfig
cat /Volumes/BELABOOT/bela.version
ls /dev/tty*bela*
ioreg -p IOUSB -w0 -l

    audiomatt /Users/matthewaidekman/Downloads/Bela-master/scripts/update_board: line 132: realpath: command not found

    This is interesting to know, but it's not the cause of the issue you are having, I will look into fixing it anyhow.

              G,

              Ah Yes! apologies. BELA_IMAGE_VERSION="v0.3.8f"

              terminal output: (note that I shaved off the field for "IOKitDiagnostics" because it was gigantic, if you need it I can paste it separately)

              The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

                these are the Bela interfaces, which for some reasons are not given an IP ... it's also weird that they are both showing up ... (I mean, the first one should only be there if horndis was enabled ...)

                So, try running this to force your OS to ask Bela's DHCP server for an IP address:

                sudo ipconfig set en9 dhcp
sudo ipconfig set en10 dhcp

                then wait some 5-10 seconds and run ifconfig again: do they have IP addresses now?

                If they don't, assign them one manually:

                sudo ifconfig en9 up 192.168.7.1
sudo ifconfig en10 up 192.168.6.1

                Either way, at this point you should have the correct IP addresses ( ifconfig could confirm that).
                Then ping them (note .1 above (your computer) and .2 below (the board):

                ping -c 1 -t2 192.168.7.2
ping -c 1 -t2 192.168.6.2
ping -c 1 -t3 bela.local

                success yet?

                  Perfect!!!!! It was noteworthy that I kept trying to select Bela en(10) and Bela en(9) in the Network control panel / Add service pane!

                  Thank you. I will say this: You are absolutely amazing and a tireless worker. Really appreciate everything you put into this.

                  great that it worked. By the way, could you tell if it worked already after the ipconfig commands or did you have to manually set the IP addresses with ifconfig ?

                    I have to manually set the IP regularly. It seems to go offline after about 10 minutes.

                      right, maybe from your network preferences panel you can set it to

                      configure Ipv4 manually
ip address 192.168.7.1
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
route 192.168.7.1

                      and this may fix it for good ?
