We login with
root
where no password is needed.
Once in Buildroot, we can check the kernel version using the
uname -a
command:
# uname -a
Linux buildroot 4.4.8-devel-17.01.1-01388-ge401441-dirty #55 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 28

Initial network setup
Note
The initial network setup described below works on both the Single Shot and Double Shot
MACCHIATObin boards.
First thing we want for now is to configure MACCHIATObin to have network access, that is,
acquire an IP address through the Ethernet interface . Connect one end of an Ethernet
cable to the
RJ45 1GbE
port on MACCHIATObin and the other end to your router or IP
switch. In the Buildroot shell insert the following commands to configure eth2 interface to
use DHCP for obtaining an IP address:
# dhclient eth2
[ 16.745901] mvpp2 f4000000.ppv22 eth2: link up
using
ifconfig
command we can verify that the IP address has been obtained, e.g.:
# ifconfig
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:05

we can also

any IP address on the web to check our Internet connection, e.g.
