Hi Pankaj,

According to the TI-Android-GingerBread-2.3.4-DevKit-2.1_UserGuide I have meet some problems as follows:

First: I have do the step about" adb over USB Ethernet (Ethernet over USB)" and executed
"#> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- menuconfig" ,then the user guide said:
"For example, the following commands will assign the network address 192.168.194.2 to the target. Run this on the target:
$> ifconfig usb0 192.168.194.2 netmask 255.255.255.224 up"
I don't know where to execute above command
target #> netcfg

 lo       UP    127.0.0.1       255.0.0.0       0x00000049                       
 eth0     UP    172.24.190.59   255.255.252.0   0x00001043  

target ? which target,where is it? you mean in the android source /out/target/..?

Hi Prajith,

when I create the file:/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules to configure device vendor ID of on-board OMAP device,

    For Dapper, edit the file to read:
   SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"

 $> chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

However , execute following command : 
$> adb devices 

It list no devices.. I have connect between host PC and target board (beaglboard xm Rev B)

so I need you help. really tha Q!

It has android configure, cross-make and cp to some dir, then use ./busybox to install.

IP

ifconfig eth0 yourip netmask yourip's mask

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0

not ipconfig!!!

route add default gw yourgateway dev eth0

route add default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

DNS

setprop net.eth0.dns1 yourDNS
