Good morning, all!

I agree. I had the most luck with the BBB OS image.
I received the message when I didn't have the connection between BBB and host
(miniUSB) correctly.

I am surprised that they're thinking of removing. Why?

Hello I'm new to USBProxy and I'm trying to get it up and running on my BBB.
I've followed all of the steps I've been able to find across the web
but I still seem to me missing something.

My most recent process is
- install OS image from
https://github.com/dominicgs/USBProxy/releases/tag/2014-03-R1
- flash to device
- apt-get upgrade, update, install (libusb, cmake etc.)

apt-get update and upgrade is a good thing to do, but unfortunately installing
libusb from the repositories is the cause of your problem.

We use a specific version of libusb to work around devices that automatically
get attached to a kernel driver. This means that you need to use the version
that was installed on the BBB OS image that was published.

At both failures I get the error message "Error sending control
request!"
or
"Unable to connect to device proxy."

This sounds like you don't have a USB device connected to the BBB.


On a somewhat related note, do you know of any good gadgetfs reference
document?

There really isn't any documentation other than this:
http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/

I get the impression that the kernel developers would like to see gadgetfs
removed, but we can't work as easily with the replacement methods.
