RE: [ECOS] how to setup to use dhcp - help needed

[Richard dot von dot Lehe at gd-ais dot com]

I'm no expert, but I have been down this same road.  I'll assume you configured your ecos.ecc to include the networking framework.  You can do this command-line : something like 'ecosconfig new rattler net' (please double-check documentation from Analogue & Micro on this), or via Configtool.

You already mentioned the only thing with Redboot you need to worry about - having a unique IP for both redboot and your application.

Then I'd look under the "Basic networking framework" section using Configtool.  There are two sections: "Initialization options for eth0" and "Initialization options for eth1".  This is where you can choose Bootp/dhcp or manual initialization of these ports.

Then init_all_network_interfaces pretty much takes care of things.  You can also disable the 2nd port - I think that's done under I/O sub-system->Common ethernet support->A&M Rattler ethernet support.

I hope some part of that helps and I'm not just repeating things you already know.

Subject: [ECOS] how to setup to use dhcp - help needed



I am using a rattler board with an application that has a small UDP
based command processing thread on it.

I set up  redboot to use  BOOTP to get an IP address and I see in the
reference manual that applications must have an IP address different
from that used by gdb.

Can someone outline what I have to do to use dhcp to set up an ip
address for the application? (including any necessary redboot config
stuff). Everything builds without error, but I get a lot of errors from
init_all_network_interfaces().

Any advice would be appreciated -

Ian
