Ethernet using USB OTG

[Dim]

Hello everybody.

I am trying to get ethernet up and running on my board a13-OLinuXino rev-E. I have a couple of question.

1. Should I pull the OTG-ID pin on the board to ground?

I have followed these instruction on compiling the kernel: http://linux-sunxi.org/USB_Gadget
Compilation seems OK.

After starting the board and running modprobe g_ether this is what I get.

Any suggestions how to get this thing going?

I've got it running. For later use:

1. No need to change anything on the board (i.e. pull ID pin to ground).
2. Compile the kernel with these instructions http://linux-sunxi.org/USB_Gadget.
3. Update your SD card.
4. Add the following to "/etc/modules"

g_ether host_addr=00:11:22:33:44:55
5. In "/etc/network/interfaces" on your olinuxino add

Code Select Expand

auto usb0
iface usb0 inte static
address 10.0.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.1.1
6. On your host in "/etc/network/interfaces" add

Code Select Expand

auto usb0
iface usb0 inte static
address 10.0.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

After booting up you should be able to ping the two machines.
