Thanks to Xiang and Greg, I got Internet networking running in the simulator.
Xiang, your configuration as you sent it didn't work for me, but using it as a base with some modifications, I got the simulator to compile. Then with some debugging and using your simbridge script, I was able to get the simulator's network working. I had some problems with /dev/net/tun file permissions and capabilities– apparently on Ubuntu (and maybe other recent Linuxes?) to access /dev/net/tun as a regular user, the program has to have the cap_net_admin capability. This is detailed in the Linux TUN/TAP Readme <https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt>. I was able to get the nuttx simulator working as root. Then I got it running as a regular user by doing this: sudo chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun > sudo setcap cap_net_admin+ep ./nuttx > I can execute the tcpecho command, so now I can use it as a comparison to the SAMA5D36-Xplained board while debugging the GMAC. I'm not using the simbridge.sh script, I wrote a different one based on it, and instead of bridging I use local routes and iptables to let the nuttx box access the Internet. (The simbridge.sh script caused some problems with how I accessed my VMWare linux installation.) I will write a more full guide to getting everything set up in the next few days. Thank you both for your help! cheers adam On Mon, Feb 10, 2020 at 10:44 PM Adam Feuer <a...@starcat.io> wrote: > Xiang, > > Thank you!
