How to add support of static ip for ethernet on system

[anupamnalgundwa]

Hi,

I am using imx6 solo(Android version 4.3.3) and Freescale application to set a static IP for Ethernet. But on power on off the static IP gets rest to 0. Also if I remove my cat-5 cable the IP get reset. How to retain static IP on both conditions i.e. on power cycle also on removing cat-5 cable. If there is any patch by which I can integrate these into my system will be great .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anupam,

Don't add it as separate environment. You have one bootargs environment. In that you add the ipaddr.

Hi Anupam,

For example : 

This is your boorargs,

bootargs=console=ttymxc0,115200 androidboot.console=ttymxc0 consoleblank=0 vmalloc=400M init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,bpp=32

In this above bootargs you add you ip address like below:

setenv bootargs "console=ttymxc0,115200 androidboot.console=ttymxc0 consoleblank=0 vmalloc=400M init=/init video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,bpp=32 ipaddr=192.168.1.100"

If you add like this it may work.

Dear aravinth,

Thanks in advance

Hi Anupam,

Can you add this below line in bootargs environment.

ipaddr=192.168.1.100

You can set static IP address with the command like this:

ifup eth0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

Here 192.168.1.2 is the address and 255.255.255.0 is the mask.

Have a great day,
Victor
