Cannot get DHCP IP assigned in core-image-minimal - imx6ulevk

[gbassi1]

Hello,

After bitbake core-image-minimal, I cannot get IP assigned in eth0/1 interfaces:

This is the startup log:

root@imx6ulevk:~# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: can0: <NOARP40000> mtu 16 qdisc noop qlen 10
    link/[280]
3: can1: <NOARP40000> mtu 16 qdisc noop qlen 10
    link/[280]
4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:04:9f:04:eb:ab brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:04:9f:04:eb:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop qlen 1
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

The bblayers.conf file appends BBLAYERS /sources/meta-openembedded/meta-networking but when I do bitbake core-image-minimal, when it parses recipes does not show any HEAD:xxxx for that layer.

What do I need to do to get all the Ethernet working from core-image-minimal?

Thanks

Please try to perform "ifconfig eth0 up" command and then assign the IP with the command like "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1"

Have a great day,
Victor

It worked :smileyhappy:

How can I automate this? Is it possible to get IP assigned by DHCP automatically instead of setting one manually?

You can use "udhcpc" command to get the IP with DHCP and assing to the interface.
