Configuring two network interfaces (on the STb710x Reference board)

On the mb442 board you can use both the 7109 Ethernet and the SMC91C111 (the Kernel option is: CONFIG_SMC91X) interfaces.

After booting the kernel on your target, by default, the eth0 device is assigned to the SMC NIC. The 7109 Ethernet interface can be configured as shown in the example below:

target# ifconfig eth1 hw ether 12:34:56:82:81:AC
target# ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2

Notes

  • Starting from the latest kernels (STLinux-2.3) pay attention configuring both the stmmac and the SMC drivers. In fact by default the former will be the interface eth0
