OMAP-L137 using the second ethernet use

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L137

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have OMAP-L137 EVM. It have two Ethernet interfaces. I want to use the first one to boot the linux Os and the second Ethernet interface to send/receive data between PC and the board. How can I do this work? How can I activate the second interface? 

Jone,

  • Hi Jone,
    I think, you can use both ports.
    In OMAPL137 EVM, MICREL switch is is used to have two ethernet ports (RGMII)

    Please refer to the EVM reference guide.

    Try to up the second port like below.
    ifconfig eth1 10.100.1.63 up
  • Hi Shankari,
    "ifconfig eth1 10.100.1.63 up" does not work. "ifconfig -a" returns

    I think other action should be done to see eth1 on the above list. What is your opinion?

    Jone,
