Appendix A –
Development Workstation Setup with DHCP
Both the development workstation and Target Device are connected to the same Local-Area-Network
with DHCP service, as shown in Figure A1.

Development environment with DHCP service
VDX-6326 SBC Connectivity
The VDX-6326 SBC has 3 built-in Ethernet interfaces. One of the interfaces uses the R6040 Ethernet
controller, built-in to the Vortex86DX SoC, and uses the R6040 Ethernet driver provided as part of
the ICOP_VDX6326_60B BSP. The other two interfaces use Realtek-8100 controller, supported by
the Realtek-8139 (RTL-8139) Ethernet driver provided by the Platform Builder.
For the exercises in this guide, the R6040 Ethernet interface is used. The R6040 Ethernet interface is
located on the back of the enclosure, between the USB and PS/2 interfaces.
Connecting to Local Area Network with DHCP
It’s a typical setup to connect both the development workstation and the target device to a Local
Area Network with DHCP service to provide IP addresses dynamically.
If the target device fails to establish connectivity with the development workstation and download
the image as expected with this configuration, review and check the following:
•
You may need to enable DHCP service for the target device on your network. Some secured
network may require the target device’s MAC address to be added to the authorized device
list for DHCP service in the DHCP server.
•
The development workstation’s firewall software may be blocking.
Using Wireless Access Point Router
When using a wireless-access-point-router with multiple Ethernet ports, connecting both the
development workstation and target device directly to the Ethernet port on the wireless-access-
point-router may be problematic with certain model of the wireless access point, and prevent the
development environment to function as expected.
