Ethernet
The WP85 module on a MangOH board can use an Ethernet connection to a local area network to configure the IP addresses.
Connect the serial, Ethernet, and power cables
In a terminal, run:
minicom /dev/ttyUSB0
Press enter when Minicom starts.
Sign on as root user (no password required).
Press enter when prompted for a password.
Run ifconfig
(or ip addr). It should display something like this:
root@swi-mdm9x15:~# ifconfigeth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 9E:90:7C:6D:BE:9Binet addr:10.1.28.211 Bcast:10.1.28.255 Mask:255.255.255.0inet6 addr: fe80::9c90:7cff:fe6d:be9b/64 Scope:LinkUP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1RX packets:43357 errors:0 dropped:107 overruns:0 frame:0TX packets:3975 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000RX bytes:14481736 (13.8 MiB) TX bytes:718334 (701.4 KiB)lo Link encap:Local Loopbackinet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:HostUP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1RX packets:65 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0TX packets:65 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueuelen:0RX bytes:3608 (3.5 KiB) TX bytes:3608 (3.5 KiB)
If it doesn't display an eth0 inet address, try rebooting the target (easiest is to disconnect and reconnect power cable), and run ifconfig
again.
Or you can run ifdown
eth0
and then if
up eth0
, to stop and restart the Ethernet connection.
You should be ready to ssh to your target IP - the subnets should match.
