Ethernet settings in android JB 4.1.2

Hi,

Can someone help me out from here in configuring the ethernet during bootup process of android.

Hi Sainath,

As said in the previous thread , try putting the lines you require in the specific start-up script- example for pandaboard : init.omap4pandaboard.rc

Hi Bokyo,

I have done that, its not working for me. even though after adding those lines in the init.omap4blazeboard.rc.

here in this  init.omap4blazeboard.rc file there are services being invoked.

For example for WiFi module its like

     service wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant \
        -iwlan0 -Dnl80211 -c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -e/data/misc/wifi/entropy.bin
        class main
        socket wpa_wlan0 dgram 660 wifi wifi
        disabled
        oneshot

So I need similar kind of work around for ethernet.

Apart form above wifi service enable  lines, sockets are also being enabled for specially for wifi.

I want these kind of changes to make the ethernet up on boot itself.

Simply by adding the lines to enble the eth0 interface, its working.

please provide me if their is any patch to do this.

Sainath

Hi Sainath,

The only way to do is by adding the following line to the init.rc script:

service ethernet /eth0.sh  ( you can remove the dhcp service for the required interface)

and  create a bash script containing  your settings:

#!/system/bin/sh
netcfg eth0 up 
...
...

Hi,

I have taken fresh android jb 4.1.2 source code. Here I tried to add the script file in the

< ANDROID_SOURCE>/system/etc. their is no etc directory.

But this system/etc is available only after the  android is compiled.

The board's init.rc file is at   < ANDROID_Parent_dir >/device/ti/blaze/initblazeboard.rc. In this file I have commented the dhcp service & added the following lines

## Ethernet Static IP

Service ETH0 /system/etc/StaticIP.sh

onseshot

The following script file have to be their at the out/product/blaze/system/etc

#!/system/etc/StaticIP.sh
netcfg eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 172.16.1.121 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 172.16.1.1 dev eth0
setprop net.dns1 172.16.1.1

Here I have the problem. system/etc/ is available only after the compilation of android source code. Can you please clarify my confusion where to add the script file so that after compilation the script file will be their in <ANDROID_Source_code>/out/product/blaze/system/etc/ .

Hi Sainath,

Check rootfs basics in order to put your file in the root base before compile.
