eth0 in imx28 evk

[asifali]

Hello all!

Thanks to all who helped me in getting started with imx28 evk. I have properly booted up the board and test the eth0 as well but there is a problem in eth0

1. How can I permanently store the setting i.e. ip address assigned because I have to assign the IP address every time I start up

2. The eth0 works properly when I first set it to up. but if I set it to down and then want to up it it gives the following error

PHY can not be attached

device or resource busy

How can I fix these 2 problems???

You can pass kernel parameter in form of:

ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>

So it could be as simple as:

ip=192.168.0.1

or

ip=dhcp

Or you could run ifconfig as part of your startup scripts etc...
