MiniZed doesn't recognize USB Ethernet

Question

Hi, I'm trying to add a usb ethernet port to connect to the MiniZed via wired Ethernet. It does not seem to be recognizing the Ethernet hardware. How can I get the hardware recognized and get drivers installed to get the hardware operational.

Thanks,

Brada

You'll need to add USB ACM & CDC drivers to your kernel build in Petalinux. I have this working for a Sabrent Ethernet dongle, which uses an ASIX chipset.. You could try this: $ petalinux-config -c kernel Kernel Config GUI: Device Drivers -> USB Support <*> USB Modem (CDC ACM) support Device Drivers -> USB Support -> USB Gadget Support CDC Composite Device (Ethernet and ACM) Device Drivers -> Network device support -> USB Network Adapters <*> Multipurpose USB Networking Framework ... add your chipset if you see it You may also need to add the following to your /etc/network/interfaces file: # Wired or wireless interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp If you're not connecting to a DHCP router/switch, then you'll need to set the IP address manually in your interface file. Something like this: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.7.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.7.0 gateway 192.168.7.1
