RP direct connection problem

[adziu24]

Hello,

first of all I would like to apologize for my bad english but I have a little problem.
I can not connect to the RP for some unknown reason (direct cable connection) and
a lot of things have been tried... . One of the LEDs lights permanently red (blinks).


I have already taken into account the following links:
http://redpitaya.com/quick-start/
http://redpitaya.com/control/
http://wiki.redpitaya.com/index.php?title=User_Manual ( static or dhcp )
http://wiki.redpitaya.com/index.php?tit ... _Windows_7
http://wiki.redpitaya.com/index.php?title=Windows
http://discovery.redpitaya.com/ ( via mac address )


What I've done so far:
1. ) The SD card I have already described twice with the image but without obtaining a positive result.
2. ) I have also tried to assign static IP addresses _ 192.168.1.100 / 101 . ( The firewall has been disabled. )
3. ) I tried to connect with the help of the Mac address. ( static and dhcp )
4. ) ???

Info: USB or WLAN connection are currently not an option.

I would be grateful if someone could help me.

Thanks in advance

Since you post links to the Win7 sections of the wiki, I'm assuming this is your host OS. Beware that - for the time being - the instructions in the wiki pertain to ecosystem versions <=0.93 only.

One of the LEDs lights permanently red (blinks).

Have you seen this FAQ ?

Provided your Red Pitaya has booted successfully (as evidenced by the led patterns), it tries to obtain an ip address by dhcp. Is your router configured to serve dhcp requests ?

If you want to set a static ip address in the Red Pitaya, and can't connect to the usb console, it gets a bit complicated.
Incidentally, why is the usb console not an option ?
Anyway, without using the usb console, you'll need to change a configuration file on the sd-card. Unfortunately, this file is on the ext4 partition of the card, and Windows can't read that. So, mount the sd-card on a linux system, go to /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 and replace

Code: Select all

iface eth0 inet dhcp

with

Code: Select all

iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.1

You should use an address that is in the same sub-net as your pc.
