Setting Static IP Address

sooprtruffaut

Hey,

Has anyone installed any packages on the OdroidXU4 that will allow you to set a static IP address? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Set it by the mac address in your router

dmschwartzii Hey, thanks for the reply. I want to be able to set a static IP on the device because I have a VPN gateway I want to route traffic through instead of the main router. I want to be able to access youtube content through the GFW. I could set a static address on the router but I would still be using that gateway, which is insufficient for my needs. Thanks for the suggestion though.

you can do complex things, like tunneling via vpn or basic things like fixing an ip.
however, it's not user friendly.
batocera uses connmann to handle connections.

one day i may document basic usages...

nadenislamarre Hey, welcome back and thanks for the reply. I'll take a look at the links but if it's possible to add features like manually configuring a static IP and the default gateway, that would be great. Keep up the good work!

Hey - quick update. I've found some information that helped me achieve my ends. Check these pages out for more detailed info using connman to set a static IP address:

Here is what worked for me.

I'm using an Odroid XU3 with wired ethernet. I believe this ought to work with other small computer boards running Batocera.

Open up your text editor of choice (nano or vi) and create a new file for edit
vi /recalbox/share/system/custom.sh
Paste/input this in:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/connmanctl config `/usr/bin/connmanctl services | /bin/grep Wired | /usr/bin/awk '{print $3}'` --ipv4 manual 192.168.1.25 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Save and reboot, you should now have a statically addressed wired connector.

NOTE
My static IP here is 192.168.1.25 and my gateway is 192.168.1.1. Change these values to suite your needs.

SSH is not accesible after doing that.

It's now accesible after 10 minutes, wtf.
