Set IP Permanently for AM335x

Yashpal Patel49892

Hi All,

I am trying to set the IP permanently so that after booting it should be already reconfigured;

I have read the documentation of Matrix Gui -->

You can find the target's ip address by using local Matrix and clicking on the Settings icon and then on the Network
Settings icon. Or using a terminal logged in to the target system enter the below command:

ifconfig

I can able to set IP address from Ifconfig and after entering ping command it is responding. No Issue But as The system restart its IP got lost.

Pls suggest !!

if your rootfs is debian/ubuntu based, edit /etc/network/interfaces

Hi ,

I have made changes in interfaces file ;

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
   wireless_mode managed
   wireless_essid any
   wpa-driver wext
   wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface tiwlan0 inet dhcp
   wireless_mode managed
   wireless_essid any

iface atml0 inet dhcp

# Wired or wireless interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

address 192.168.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0

        pre-up /bin/grep -v -e "ip=[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+" /proc/cmdline > /dev/null

iface eth1 inet dhcp

# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
iface usb0 inet dhcp

# Bluetooth networking

I have modified as follows:

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.xxx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0

after doing the same it runs well.IP is set permanently.

Hi,

I'm trying to use static IP with ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00 using BeagleBone White and it does not seem to work. Can any one tell me what I'm doing wrong? Below is my /etc/network file. I'm mounting the files system over NFS, if that matters...

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# Wireless interfaces
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface tiwlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid any

iface atml0 inet dhcp

# Wired or wireless interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.146
netmask 255.255.255.0

pre-up /bin/grep -v -e "ip=[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+" /proc/cmdline > /dev/null

iface eth1 inet dhcp

# Ethernet/RNDIS gadget (g_ether)
# ... or on host side, usbnet and random hwaddr
iface usb0 inet dhcp

# Bluetooth networking
iface bnep0 inet dhcp

I fixed my problem by using kernel command parameter. Passing ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}:eth0:off as part of boot parameter worked for me. I got that information from AM335x PSP User's Guide. I still don't understand why changing /etc/network/interfaces file did not work for me though...
