Changing the Ethernet IP Settings

To change the default factory Ethernet IP settings you need to first ssh to the SmartLynq+ Module. You can use the USB 3.0 interface to make the Ethernet changes. When prompted for a user name and password, enter in the default user name xilinx with the password xilinx.

After logging into the SmartLynq+ Module, run the following command to edit the usb network settings:

sudoedit /etc/systemd/network/20-eth0.network

This command brings up a Linux nano editor where you can adjust the settings as needed. The following are the default settings:

[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
#Address=10.101.0.101/24
#Gateway=10.101.0.1

To set a static address, remove the # on Address and Gateway lines and set them as needed while adding a # at the beginning of the DHCP line. After the edits are complete, save the file.

To update the Ethernet interface, reset the SmartLynq+ Module or run the following command:

sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd
