Beableboard XM rev B Ethernet not available even though detected.

Anthony Kavassis
Prodigy 50 points

Hi,

I have been using the Froyo and Gingerbread prebuilt images for the past couple of months with my rev B Xm board and have noticed that in Froyo the Ethernet adapter works just fine if you set the IP address manually (board didn't grab an IP address with DHCP so I set static IP and DNS) but in Gingerbread there is no option for setting Ethernet configuration (although DHCP does enable the Beagle to grab an IP address but no DNS).

From the console I checked initially:

# netcfg
lo       UP    127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       0x00000049
usb0     DOWN  0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0x00001002

and if you do netcfg usb0 dhcp it reads

# netcfg
lo       UP    127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       0x00000049
usb0     UP    192.168.1.5     255.255.255.0   0x00001043

and it pings just fine:

    Please paste the output of 'getprop' command after you have brought up the ethernet interface. That may provide some clues.

    Hi Anthony,


    Please set "setprop net.dns1 <net.usb0.dns1>" at the console.


    Regards,

    Arun

    Setting the DNS is all that was indeed needed. Curious though why the Ethernet configuration option is not available within the Android UI whereas its available in Froyo. 

    Thank you both so much for your swift assistance.

    Android does not natively support the ethernet interface, it needs to be patched-in.

    As you have noticed we have not yet integrated this feature into rowboat/TI Android DevKit  for gingerbread yet.

    Apologies for my impatience, I'm sure the patches will be placed in due time when everything is ready.

    After browsing a few of web pages with the Browser my serial console keeps getting pages and pages of the following (during which everything pretty much freezes and then it stops and mouse/keyboard is available again):

    I found a solution for that problem

     

    You can type 

    echo 8192 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

     

    on console.

     

    It solves the kalloc error.
