Ethernet does not work

Hello everybody,

Here is my problem. I am using the buildroot distro instead of OpenSTLinux and want to

connect my STM32 via ethernet using SSH. I use MobaXterm as remote control software.

P.s After a system boot I get the following response although the ethernet LEDs are not blinking

buildroot login: [    4.237860] stm32-dwmac 5800a000.ethernet eth0: Link 
is Up                            - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
[    4.251707] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

After ifconfig -a I get the following response:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:E1:42:6B:16
 
          inet addr:192.168.8.45  Bcast:192.168.8.255 
 
Mask:255.255.255.0
 
          inet6 addr: fe80::280:e1ff:fe42:6b16/64 Scope:Link

          Interrupt:60 Base address:0x8000

This configuration was generated manually by etc / network and then nano

Interfaces where it says:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Configure eth0 with static IP
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address  192.168.8.45
        network 192.168.8.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.8.255
        gateway 192.168.8.1
        dns-nameservers 192.168.8.1
 
 
# Configure eth0 with dhcp IP
# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp

My setup is made like this. My PC is connected to WiFi through one Huawei Giga Cube and the STM32 are connected to my PC by a Ethernet cable.

If I go into Windows cmd and use ipconfig / all then I get the following output:

Hi @SigmaPrime​ ,

Be aware that ST is not supporting buildroot solution directly, but only through some partner ( eg Bootlin) .

I suggest to have a look in our wiki , in case an article may guide you in the right direction, else try to get help from partner community.

Thank you for your response.

I would say that they are not serious when responding to people. I managed to resolve the solution alone after multiple tries.

It appeared that my system configuration wasn't correct and that some packages were missing. I had to contact Rasp community to get the right info.

Buildroot forum is messy and when I want to upload multiple files with a modest size I can't do that so explaining my situation is really difficult when turning to them.

Hi,

for people wanting to start using buildroot for the STM32MP1 there is a GitHub Repo with a buildroot example for the STM32MP1. I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain a ssh packet at the start but you can easily use this as a starting point and activate something like dropbear. Helped me at the start using buildroot a lot besides some Bootlin blog articles.

Github repo:

https://github.com/schenkmi/buildroot-op-tee-stm32mp1

Cheers
