This page will summarize the steps to install a DHCP server on your APF/OPOS. You might want that kind of server when, for example, your board is configured as a Wi-Fi access point or runs a webserver accessible from USB Network Gadget.

Installation

DHCP server recommended for embedded usage is dnsmasq. If you have a recent OPOS6UL/OPOS6UL_NANO BSP, then it is installed by default. Otherwise:

$ make menuconfig
...
Target packages  --->
    ...
    Networking applications  --->
        ...
        [*] dnsmasq
        [*]   tftp support
        [*]   dhcp support
        [ ]   DNSSEC support
        [ ]   IDN support
        [ ]   conntrack marking support

Usage

  • dnsmasq is automatically launch at system startup, when /etc/dnsmasq.conf configuration file exists.

So take your favorite text editor and create /etc/dnsmasq.conf with following informations (adapt interface name (here usb0 & IP addresses to the network you want to setup):

interface=usb0                         (wlan0 or uap0 for Wi-Fi AP)
dhcp-range=192.168.10.10,192.168.10.20,12h
  • then reboot your board and it should be up and running
