Testing Ethernet

Trucrux provides 2 Ethernet ports eth0 and eth1 respectively. Where eth0 is over imx8mm-trux-q01 SoM and eth1 is over trux-8MDVP.

Test Ethernet Connection #

Use the following command to check the IP of all ethernet nodes

root@imx8mm-trux-q01:~# ifconfig

output

To check connectivity with the Internet #

Use the following command to check the internet connection.

root@imx8mm-trux-q01:~# ping 8.8.8.8 -I eth0

output

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) from 192.168.0.153 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=118 time=3.73 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=118 time=6.93 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=3 ttl=118 time=3.24 ms

To restart the Ethernet node #

Use the below command to restart the respective eth node

root@imx8mm-trux-q01:~# ifconfig ethx down
root@imx8mm-trux-q01:~# ifconfig ethx up

Where x in ethx is the node ID which is either 0 or 1.
