Hello, We just received our ROACH board. I can successfully boot from flash (busybox).
But there are two issues:
1) when I try to mount /dev/sda1 (the usb stick) as root filesystem, by
interrupting boot from flash, and "run usbboot".
The file system is mounted read-only. please see the attached message file
(read_only_error.log)
Although I can remount the / to R/W by typing the following command:
mount -n -o remount /
But I'm wondering does this affect anything? Is there any way to get across
this.
2) The 2nd problem is about the ethernet port of ROACH.
First I connected the ROACH board to a ethernet switch.
I try to assign the IP address through dhcp server by editting the
/etc/network/interfaces file
-----------------------------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
-------------------------------------
then use the command:
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
But I got "No DHCPOFFERS received."
Then I altered the /etc/network/interfaces file to assign a fixed IP
------------------------------------------------------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 128.235.92.250
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 128.235.92.0
broadcast 128.235.92.255
-------------------------------------------------------------
I got no complain after the ifdown and ifup command.
But I can't ping to any computers.
If I connect the ROACH to a computer directly. I can ping that computer
successfully and I can also ssh to ROACH from that computer, only if the
ROACH board was connected to the first NIC port (eth0). There are there NIC
cards in my computer (eth0, eth1, eth2). You can't ping the ROACH board
using eth1,eth2.
Is there anyone encounter similar problem?
