iMX8 yocto install DHCP server

[davidvescovi]

I would like to enable a DHCP server on my yocto build (L4.14.98_2.0.0).

I tried to enable by just adding:

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dhcp-server"

to my local.conf but it seems to not be enough.

I also tried adding a udhcpd.conf file to my /etc/ folder but it does not look like the clients are honoring anything in it.

Is there a step by step setup for building in a dhcp server as part of the yocto image build?

Hi davidvescovi‌

Please add below line to local.conf file and compile.

• CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "dhcp-server dhcp-client"
