Hello all,
I think I'm running around in circles because I can't seem to communicate with the board over Ethernet using PuTTy. I've downloaded the compiled SD card image and have it ready. However I can't seem to set an IP address in order to connect to the board. I've tried using a serial cable but it just doesn't seem to work, think I've got a problem with my cable.
I've been able to set it up without the SD card using the Arduino code:
void setup() {
system("telnetd -l /bin/sh");
system("ifconfig eth0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 up");
system("ifconfig eth0 > /dev/ttyGS0");
}
void loop() {
}
However I want to use the larger image in order to use Python. I need to be able to set the IP address somewhere in the boot of the board and have tried using:
ifconfig --address=169.254.1.1 --mask=255.255.0.0
As well as:
telnetd -l /bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 169.254.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
ifconfig eth0 > /dev/ttyGS0
I've tried putting them in the grub.conf file but this may also be wrong.
Any advice?
