Trill Flex data via Ethernet

albert

hi, I want to send data from Trill Flex via Ethernet. I can set up a communication with a mac from BBB via USB, but I cannot via Ethernet. What is the best way to proceed? Are there any examples? Thank you very much

@giuliomoro thank you very much for the link. It was exactly what I was looking for.
The point-to-point communication via Ethernet for sending multiple trill devices data works properly now.

I followed these steps, the sequence may be useful to someone (but not sure if all of these steps were necessary):
1. Flash the Bela software last image to an SD card following: https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/managing-your-sd-card/ (just to be sure to have installed the last version of the image)
2. then from terminal

ssh root@192.168.7.2

 cd /etc/network

nano interfaces

- then set the following:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.10.2
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.10.0

- save with

ctrl+O

- close with

ctrl+X

3. then copy the Bela software to the eMMC following: https://learn.bela.io/using-bela/bela-techniques/managing-your-sd-card/
4. now (just for testing) run the example Communication / OSC from the IDE and change the remoteIp = "192.168.10.1";
5. set the same IP on your host PC

Sounds good, you probably didn't need steps 1 and 3, as the configuration steps would be the same for any Bela image out there. One thing to mention in case something went wrong after step 2 and you weren't able to access the board anymore via the network (e.g.: because of an error/typo in /etc/network/interfaces): one can use the virtual serial port (e.g.: on macos it's typically at /dev/usb.modem*bela* ) to log back into the board and fix the file.
