      Okay typing in bash takes me to VOXL2. However, it is not setting the static IP address that I want it to set, which is 192.168.168.60

        @rohitpillai I'm still playing around to figure out exactly what is going wrong but here are a couple answers:

        That SSH session is the VOXL2, SSH just doesn't put you in the bash shell by default, if you run bash it should give you the expected voxl terminal you're used to.

        The reason why it is showing up as usb0 and not eth0 is because the Microhard add-on board you're using is a newer flavor than the others "M0048-2" vs "M0048-1" (the silk screen may not reflect that correctly). This newer flavor removes the LAN7500 chip and uses a slightly different driver to enable comms between the chips.

        This functionality is new to voxl-modem as well which is why you're running into this bug, you're one of the first people to actually have one of these new boards in hand.

          Oh cool! Is there anything I can do to help from my side to figure this out?

            @rohitpillai I will let you know if I need anything from you. I'm screwing around with the voxl-modem source code right now to try to figure out how to fix the issue. I think I've already found a couple things that could resolve it.

            I'll update once I get it going, I may generate a new voxl-modem deb package for you to try out

                @rohitpillai I believe I have fixed the issue. voxl-modem was jumping ahead and assuming that the modem had enumerated before it had which would cause some of the commands to never be run.

                I have generated a new dev package for you to try out, the download link is:

                http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-modem_0.15.2-202206291955_arm64.deb

                You can take a look at the source code changes here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/utilities/voxl-modem/-/commit/0cc330f8fcd6cafc97b80412dfe9994b8389e90b

                In order to try this package out, do the following:

                • download the voxl-modem_0.15.2-202206291955_arm64.deb package using the above link
                • push the package to your VOXL2 in the directory you'd like (I'll use /data) using:
                adb push voxl-modem_0.15.2-202206291955_arm64.deb /data
                
                • Force remove the voxl-modem package on board:
                adb shell
                
                dpkg --purge --force-all voxl-modem
                
                • Install the new dev package:
                cd /data
                
                dpkg -i voxl-modem_0.15.2-202206291955_arm64.deb
                
                • Re-run voxl-configure-modem and choose the IP to your liking

                Verify that the network interface comes up and the IP is what you expect with ifconfig

                Try a couple reboots to confirm that the expected behavior is consistent.

                Let me know if you need any clarity on the above and let me know the outcome of your tests.

                The usb0 network interface won't come up immediately after reboot (may take 10-15 seconds) for it to enumerate

                  After a couple of reboots I am getting the same behaviour. It works as it should now! Thanks!

                    @rohitpillai Woot! Thank you for all of your help! I will go ahead and merge this into master so that it will make it into the next release.

                      @tom Hey Tom,

                      I am noticing this issue of microhard not having a static ip on my system as well.
                      10bc948b-8cf9-45ec-bbe4-bf0819d393b6-image.png

                      It appears I am on a later version than the one in the post. Is the voxl-static-ip service now the preferred way to have a static ip?

                          @wilkinsaf But ip still is not what is in the config file

                          ip address: 1e15d9f5-c3a7-4e66-83d3-d6f88ab6cd7d-image.png

                            @wilkinsaf Interesting, give voxl-static-ip a try and see if it helps. I have yet to integrate that directly into voxl-modem. We have a systemd service setup for it, so I would go ahead and modify /usr/bin/voxl-static-ip and then enable it's service systemctl enable voxl-static-ip

                              @tom I did, but i had to add in a huge sleeper and have it After=voxl-modem.service

                              since the voxl-modem is a python script (thank you for that) I am just doing some caveman debugging. will post progress

                                @wilkinsaf voxl-static-ip is pretty "dumb" as it doesn't check to see if the interface is actually up before trying to modify the IP so that's probably the reason why you need the big sleep, but I'm sure you figured that out already.

                                  @tom Yeah. I think I figured it out

                                  My uname has "m0054". It uses eth0 as interface instead of usb0. i dont see code for setting the ip for eth0. What is weird is that I also see usb0 come up as an interface. But I am going to add some code here to hopefully fix that. Will make a branch or something if it is useful for someone else

                                  70be3696-0b4d-4496-b9ea-5bd60a2cf46b-image.png

                                    @wilkinsaf Do you have any other type of network connection going? WiFi? Ethernet?

                                    I can try to copy your setup, so you've got a VOXL2 w/ Microhard add-on? anything else important connected? mipi cameras and such wouldn't affect this

                                      @wilkinsaf Also a voxl-version would be helpful to see. To give you some background on why this part is a little confusing, on newer builds of Microhard add-ons we had to change out a chip due to supply shortages and so the newer Microhard add-ons will be handled as "usb0" instead of "eth0".

                                        @wilkinsaf Oh also, while I'm asking you things, the output of the following would be helpful as well:

                                        dmesg | grep eth0
                                        
                                        dmesg | grep usb0
