OMAP-L137 ping failed, Ethernet doesn't work

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L137

Hi everyone.

I'm using ubuntu on vmware workstation and using hyperterminal. My board is OMAP-L137 revision I.

Net setting of vmware is bridge, on Ubuntu is manual, on u-boot is static ip. I don't have a router, so I use a Ethernet cable to connect the PC and EVM directly.

The cable is not crossover. I also have atftp, tftp-hpa on my Ubuntu and they are runing, all firewalls are shut down.

My Ubuntu host IP (using ifconig) is 192.168.91.10 and Win 7 IP is 192.168.91.1

but when I enter "ping 192.168.91.10" in u-boot, it shows:

ping failed; host 192.168.91.10 is not alive. Even ping 127.0.0.1 or "setenv" a ipaddr and ping it also show the same.

When try tftp, it just keep loadding:"T T T T T..." and retry. VMWare and Win 7 command prompt can ping themselves.

I searched some similar threads, but couldn't find the solution. It seems most cases working with dhcp are fine.

Please help me with it, thank you!

    Hi Ming,

    Thanks for the post.

    What is the Ethernet link status (Ethernet LED's are glowing)?

    Set the Target IP Configurations from u-boot as follows:
    u-boot> setenv ipaddr 192.168.91.11
    u-boot> setenv serverip 192.168.91.10
    u-boot> setenv gatewayip 192.168.91.1
    u-boot> setenv netmask 255.255.255.0

    Ensure to have the same value for gatewayip and netmask as configured in the Host machine (VMWare and Win 7).

    Please try "ping" the serverip from u-boot prompt.

    u-boot> ping $serverip

    Thanks.

    Ming,

    Please kindly see the below wiki pages for setting up of OMAPL137 filesystem.
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Setting_up_OMAP-L137_Target_File_System
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Booting_Linux_kernel_using_U-Boot

    Note that bootargs in these examples sets ip=dhcp.
    If your EVM is not connected to a network with a DHCP server, you will want to set ip=off. For booting with NFS as root file system, having a valid IP address is a must.

    Thank you guys, I somehow get the Ethernet working. Just post my configuration here:

    Using crossover Ethernet cable(may not necessary) to connect EVM and PC directly. 

    VMware:

    Network adapter settings: Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network

    Virtual network editor: VMnet0: Bridged: Bridge to: Automatic. VMnet1 and VMnet8, leave them default.

    Ubuntu:

    IPv4: Method: manual

    Address 192.18.71.3 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.71.1

    Win7:

    Control panel: Network and Internet: Network Connections:

    Local Area Connection:

    Details: DHCP Enable: No

    IPv4 Address: 192.168.71.5

    IPv4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    Properties: IPv6 unchecked(may not necessary)

    u-boot:

    ipaddr=192.168.71.4

    serverip=192.168.71.5

    netmask=255.255.255.0

    gatewayip=192.168.71.1

    Ubuntu terminal and Win7 cmd prompt can ping each others.

    Under u-boot, ping above both shows "alive"

    When in tftp transmission, Both terminal and cmd prompt can ping EVM.

    Thank you guys, and hope everyone works well:)

    Hi Ming Tang,

    I thought the information on u-boot commands will help you to solve the Ethernet issue.  

    Thanks for the update. The information provided will be helpful to others.

    Thank you Rajasekaran, My u-boot environment settings and other configurations were just like you told me when I gave the first try. I guess there were something else I missed. So I started over and reconfigured everything I could think of. It works now, but I don't pretty sure where it went wrong. So I just post as much as I know.
