Confused about network devices

[jernst]

I’m confused about network devices on the EspressoBin.

ip link

only shows eth0, I was also expecting an eth1 and eth2, given that there are three phyiscal interfaces. How exactly do I configure the others?

ifconfig -a

will list all detected interfaces, then you can use

ip link set dev XXX up
ifconfig XXX 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

eth0 is the RGMII device interfacing to the switch, the switch ports have names like “wan” and “lan0”. These names are defined in the flat device tree file (*.dtb) loaded by u-boot.
