Ifconfig giving an error message

  • PYNQ Z2
  • This is the error message I get, when I try to see the IP address of the FPGA
    eth0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

  1. Can I still work with the FPGA directly connecting to the terminal
  2. How do I fix this ?

Hi,
For the ifconfig test, how did you connect to the PYNQ Z2? Did you connect the board to a router via an ethernet cable, and use a second ethernet cable to connect the router to your computer?
