- Subject: [ECOS] Static IP for redboot on pc not working
Hello.
I am attempting to build a redboot floppy for the pc class machines to get
acquainted with the redboot feature set.
I have checked out the latest CVS tree.
I wish to transfer a pre compiled ecos kernel image onto a host pc, remotely.
I did not find any details of specifying a static IP initially but on browsing
through the archives, I came up with mention of the
CYGDAT_REDBOOT_DEFAULT_IP_ADDR
directive and added it to my ecos.ecc with an appropriate IP. (This was n
I assumed that redboot would now use this IP by default and not bother to
issue a DHCP request.
However, it IS doing a DHCP request , failing and then is unpingable remotely.
Also I cannot ping any other host on the LAN using the up-an-running redboot.
What am I missing ?
Has support for a static IP been deprecated in favour of DHCP ?
Help.
Robin.
