Hello
Why to talk to hikey via network
is so critical for me? That is because so far I have tested three types of
UART-USB adapters (based on CP2101, PL2303HX, PL2303HXD ).
All work in some unstable manner at best.
So, now I am waiting for officially recommended one:
Good network experience:
-
The use of the kernel and debian images from
http://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey/linaro/debian/latest/
(i.e. of version 20153011-387)
flashed onto SD or EMMC
results in normal communication to HiKey via network if
a) I use USB-Ethernet adapters of two types which I typically use
for my Linux debian systems.
b) I configure the /etc/network/interfaces e.g. likeauto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.2.9.60
netmask 255.255.255.0(to be scrupulous)
The network communications work!
Bad network experience:
2) The use of kernel/debian EMMC images from
https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/hikey/16.03/
for EMMC’s HiKey flashing with subsequent
usage of mentioned above USB-Ethernet adapters (a) and network configuration (b)
does not allow to get a pingable HiKey.
I.e. HiKey is not communicable via network.
(By the way, I do not see blue leds blinking)
- The use of kernel/debian EMMC images from
https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/hikey/16.06/
flashed onto EMMC or SD (the image for SD is present on the page) with subsequent
usage of mentioned above USB-Ethernet adapters (a) and network configuration (b)
does not allow to ping HiKey.
I.e. HiKey is not communicable via network.
(Now I see blue leds blinking)
It would be very nice to get an advice how to fix images from
https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/hikey/16.03/
https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/debian/hikey/16.06/
to make them to provide network communications via USB-Ethernet adapter
as that is provided by the images from:
http://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey/linaro/debian/latest/
(i.e. of version 20153011-387)
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
