Linux Host doesn't get global address from USB-KW41Z RNDIS

Hello,

I'm trying to use USB-KW41Z with Linux Host through RNDIS.

USB-KW41Z works fine with Windows 7 so that I can ping to FRDM-KW41Z.

However with Linux Host, it seems not to retrieve any global address from USB-KW41Z ND_ROUTER.

syslog looks like Ok.

usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 10 using musb-hdrc

usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1fc9, idProduct=0301

However there is no global address assigned to eth2

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

I used BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi 3 for Debian Jessie and Linux PC with Ubuntu 14.04.

I'm referring to Kinetis FSCI Host Application Programming Interface.pdf.

Do I need to config the kernel?

What is the Linux host used in the "8 Thread Integration with Linux OS Host on RNDIS Interface" in the doc?

Best regards,

Nori Shinozaki

Hi Nori,

I was trying to replicate the same issue.

I connected the USB-KW41Z to Virtual Machine and also to a PC with Linux, the border router works fine and the USB has a global address.

ipconfig

ip -6 addr show eth

ping6 -c 1 fd0::407d:9800:2b4b:99ed:a0a3

The Linux OS kernel version must be greater than 2.6

The device answer with the ping command

Do you have all the configurations required for run with BeagleBone Black and Raspberry Pi 3?

Best Regards,

Mario
