Linux/TDA2: TDA2xx_rvp: Can't set a static ipv4 address

Hi,

can you check this thread and see if you can find something helpful:

Hello Yordan,

thank you for the quick answer.
We will look into that and give an update whether it solved the problem.

Hello,

we read the linked thread but we still have the same issue.

We set "NDK_PROC_TO_USE=ipu1_0" and also tried "a15_0" in cfg.mk in the folder  vision_sdk/apps/configs/tda2xx_rvp_linux_all and changed "ip=none" to "ip=169.254.189.200" in uenv.txt. This address is in the same subnet than the connected PC.

Here's an image of the output of "ip addr show"

Edit: When we start the script "vision_sdk_demo.sh" and press "i" it outputs "Network IP: none"

And another question: Do you know what the "dra7xx-evm" means?

Hello,

Did you try setting NDK_PROC_TO_USE=ipu2_0? We recommend running network on IPU2 when running VSDK linux.
Kindly share output of "make -s -j showconfig". Also do you see RJ45 LED blinking when you connect LAN cable to board?
Somehow I think either the the new binaries with change are not reflected in your run. Once NDK is enabled, you should see Network IP to valid or 0.0.0.0 but never 'none'.

dra7xx-evm means TDA2xx EVM.

Hello,

we also tried NDK_PROC_TO_USE=ipu2 ("ipu2_0" seems not to be a valid option) but this changed nothing.

The output of "make -s -j showconfig" is:

We don't know whether the LED is blinking because of the casing, but the board is only booting completely, when we connect the LAN cable to a PC.

Is there a difference between RVP and EVM 'cause it says "RVP" on the casing?
And do we have to set IPU_PRIMARY_CORE to ipu1_0 to include the ipu1_0 and ipu1_1 because of the error "ERROR: IPU1_0 MUST be included in application"?

Hello,

Thanks for detailed information. ipu2 is valid option for NDK.

There are major difference between RVP and EVM. Do you have TDA2xx EVM with you? Would it be possible to try on that? Basically change config to tda2xx_evm_linux_all and keep NDK on ipu2.

Meanwhile I am checking the any limitation for RVP network with our internal experts. I will let you know. Thanks.

Hello,

Confirmed from expert. Adding his reply here.

"Using the bios ethernet stack on TDA2x Linux has not been tested on TDA2x RVP. Only the Linux ethernet stack has been tested"

Hello,

thanks for the quick answers. Unfortunately we don't have an TDA2xx EVM.
And what do we have to change now, to not use bios ethernet stack but linux ethernet stack? Do we need NDK for that? And can we set a static Ipv4 address with that? I think I didn't get what that all means and how this works.

Regards

Hello,

You have to use disable NDK (set to none) and use Linux ethernet stack. Mostly it would be enabled by default but you can confirm by checking 

ti_components/os_tools/linux/kernel/omap/arch/arm/boot/dts/dra7-evm.dts to have MAC as below and not "disabled". Also rebuild the uboot and kernel after this.

&mac {

status = "okay"; 

Hello,

we also did a build with NDK_PROC_TO_USE set to "none".
In the file dra7-evm.dts it says:
&mac {
status = "okay";
dual_emac;
};
But we still got no ipv4-address and even after setting an ipv4 address with ifconfig command it says "Network IP address: none" after pressing "i" for the ip information.

Hello User,

I have asked our experts to check and reply to your query. Please allow us to take some time to look into issue.

Hello,

Where did you get your software from? Are you using Vision SDK 3.02.87 downloaded from the D3 Engineering website? When using the Linux ethernet driver pressing 'i' will not print the IP address because that IP Address comes from the BIOS NDK. To see your IP address type ifconfig in the Linux console. If you are using D3's release of Vision SDK then ethernet should be enabled automatically.

Cheers,

Ben

Hello Ben,

yes we are using D3's release of Vision SDK but I don't know the version number, where can I see it?
I think ethernet is enabled, that is not the problem but we can't set a static IPv4-address. Do you have any suggestions how we can achieve that?

Kind Regards

Dear all,

I am Rajat Barmon working at TI,Munch.I am also having the same problem with ethernet conncetion problem.Could you help me.I am new with work on it.It would be helpful for me if your write step by step.I followed the manual for the RVP-TDA2x network tool.But it is not working.Could you help me??? Thank You.

Best Regards,

Rajat Barmon

Hi,

I also have seen the same display.

1.I changed in NDK_config.cfg file as follow:

if (enableStaticIP)
{
/* Settings for static IP configuration */
Ip.address = "169.254.189.200";
Ip.mask = "255.255.255.0";
Ip.gatewayIpAddr = "169.254.189.1";
Ip.ifIdx = 1;
}

2.I changed Ip=none to Ip=169.254.189.200 in uenv.txt file in Vision SDK boot file.

3.what should i any change in Vision SDK and PC side ?? Please help me.

Thank You.

Best Regards,

Rajat Barmon
