- Subject: [ECOS] Finding IP address of eCos devices from Windows/Linux PC
I've got eCos devices that have DHCP enabled.
Can anyone suggest a robust method for finding the IP address of the eCos
devices?
Currently we hook up a serial cable and either set the IP or read of the DHCP
IP. The DHCP server log is not available in the field. This is less than ideal
since it requires terminal software(hyperterminal is gone from vista) and
a serial cable(far from all PC's have a serial port these days).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arping - can't find a good implemenation for
Windows and I'm not sure how robust this under Linux
- ping <devicename>. Here the device would need to broadcast a name
that Windows and Linux could pick up. Is this possible?
Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
