Setting up the Network Interface for Ubilinux with Yocto Kernel

This will walk you through bringing the ethernet block up on the Edison.

Follow these steps after screen'ing into your Edison from your host Linux machine, as described here (i.e., sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200).

  1. Login to the edison as root with password edison.

  2. Verify that your Edison sees the eth0 interface by doing ifconfig -a. In screen, you can scroll by doing: Ctrl-a esc and then using the up/down arrow keys.

  3. Add the eth0 interface to the /etc/network/interfaces file:

    vi /etc/network/interfaces

    And add this to the file:

    auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

    To enable DHCP on eth0.

  4. Bring up the Ethernet block with: ifup eth0.

  5. Run ifconfig again to get the IP address for eth0. Use that IP address to SSH into your edison, without having to use screen.

Known Issue: For some reason, the Edison will not switch into USB Host mode after a warm reboot (i.e., after running reboot). You must start cold by unplugging the Edison and turning it back on again. (For more info, see here)
