This section will help you configure the Ethernet in the board. When using the prebuilt images, the ethernet connections are not automatically set up, so in order to use them, follow the next steps:

1. Plug an ethernet cable between your switch and one of the RJ45 ports on the board.

2. Log in to the board using any of the other non-internet methods (UART or ADB).

3. Run the following commands to enable the eth0 and eth1 interfaces:

ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth1 up  

4. Trigger the automatic IP assignment:

udhcpc -i eth0
udhcpc -i eth1

Note

If you are just using one of the interfaces this command will succeed only for the interface that's physically connected, so use that one.

You should get an output similar to this:

/ # udhcpc -i eth0
udhcpc: started, v1.35.0
udhcpc: broadcasting discover
udhcpc: broadcasting select for 192.168.0.30, server 192.168.0.1
udhcpc: lease of 192.168.0.30 obtained from 192.168.0.1, lease time 3600
/etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 186.32.188.32
/etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 186.32.188.33

You should now be connected to the internet.
