Hi. I have installed xubuntu on board from shipped cd. Everything looks like work fine, but the ethernet adapter seems dead. No ethernet connection, no interface like eth0 (only Lo), no led indicate, no any configuration settings in main menu of operation system. Pleace help. I realy need to up ethernet becouse of apt-get must work in my developing process. p.s. Ethernet work fine via Qtopia and WinCE6
I haven't tried it myself. However, I think, you would need to get the driver for the ethernet chip(DM900 if I am not wrong). Having said that, you probably need to copy the relevant driver from LInux/Andriod in shipped DVD. I presume the driver from the Linux/Andriod in the shipped were all compiled with the same kernel. As such, it would work by copying them over. Hope these help.
I gave it a tried the other day, by ping the localhost,
#ping 127.0.0.1 and it works. This means the driver for the ethernet
chipset is working.
Now I connect the ethernet cable and the network connection is
automatically established. The only thing the file /etc/resolv.conf is not
setup for your local DNS. Having set it up, I type the command:
sudo apt-get update
All operations work as it should.
However, FYI, this Xubuntu is not from the DVDs. I got it from Ubuntu ARM
website. In otherwords, I can't say for the xubuntu from the DVDs.
Cheers!
Tnx, vib! Can you link to the Ubuntu ARM websidtte? I can't find it via google :( Only Ubuntu or ARM site has found.
Don't quite understand by the "link to the Ubuntu ARM website". You can't get the source of Ubuntu but only the rootfs for ARM. To get the rootfs, you will need install a few things. Follow the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch. FYI, you can only get the distribution Karmic not later than that and only the lxde or xubuntu. Your 6410 board must have at least 256MB RAM and 2GB NAND.
Tnx, Vib. Your answer is complitely that i was expected. Problem Solved
Hi Reida, I am curious of the results you are getting. Would you please share how your xubuntu is doing? the operation of touchscreen interests me most because I haven't got that working so far even I have tried so many methods. Hear from you soon Cheers! vib
Hi,vib. Touchscreen is workin fine. I have installed image from shipped cd. My fail was becose of ethernet was down by default on shipped xubuntu. Unfortunatly xubuntu on Tiny6410 become a "plan B" in my development. We could up wireless usb-to-serial-port ftdi device stick on Windows CE 6, so all development will be continue on this OS. May be in a future we come back to Ubuntu development as for cheeper solution.
Use eth2. (for cable ethernet on dm9000) sudo su (psw: 123) ifconfig eth2 up (and set mask, ip, etc) OR add to /etc/network/interfaces lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp (vi /etc/network/inetrfaces) and reboot.
sorry wrong above. must be so: add to /etc/network/interfaces lines: auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp
