RFSoC 4x2 ethernet connection issue

Support

Hi,

I’m having trouble connect my board to the network via ethernet port.

PYNQ version: 3.0.1
Board: RFSoC 4x2

Connection setup:

20230621_190634409_iOS
20230621_190634409_iOS1702×1276 498 KB

The board is connect to the computer via the usb port using the adapter from the package. The ethernet port is connected to a network port on the wall in our office via the yellow cable in the photos above. I have checked that the network port on the wall works by connecting another computer to this port.

Error message:
When I want to git clone a repository from github.com in the terminal in Jupyter Notebook, it returns,

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Xilinx/RFSoC-MTS.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

I have read a lot of posts in the forum but haven’t got the solution. I also tried “ip addr” but I cannot understand the returned message,

Could you please help me with this problem? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Your board’s Ethernet interface (eth0) is not getting an IP address via that network port. You may want to check with your IT department. They may have setup something to server your laptop an address via a MAC address, but not an unrecognized device like this board.

Hi Cathal,

Thanks! Your suggestion is completely correct as my school is pretty strict on network connections. I have solved the problem by connecting the ethernet port to my host computer. Thanks for your help!
