Board members:
I've got an interesting problem that I'm trying to come up with a solution
for. I am going to be teaching a class next quarter on the Beaglebone
Black. Students will attach their bones to a network and program them
remotely over ethernet. Code will be developed on a virtual machine
running Linux and then connected via sftp to the board. However, the
students will only have a bone and a prototyping cape available to them.
WHat I am trying to figure out is the best way for them to determine the
IP address of their board. By default, I know that the boards use dhcp to
get an ip address. However, without a display, it's somewhat hard to get
an ip address. Is there an easy way, maybe by using the usb connection,
that students can figure out the IP address of the board so they can remote
to it in an appropriate fashion. I've thought about simply pinging the
boards, but with multiple boards on the network, that would only indicate
that a board is connected, not that their board is connected. I suppose I
could go to fixed IP's, but that would require them to change the SD card,
which at first I'd rather use "stock" until they have gotten their feet wet.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Walt
PS: We'll be using a Debian image based of of Robert Nelson's work unless a
new "standard" image comes out from Circuitco before then.
Hi Walter,
This would depend on your setup, but some routers
can be configured to issue a fixed IP based on a
Mac address.
