Hello,

I’ve seen people on this community that managed to get an IP on the USB port of the CHIP

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

I would like to know how did they manage to do that?
I’ve hooked up a Surface USB to Ethernet adapter in the USB port (type A) of the CHIP, but no luck so far.

Thanks for any hints/comments.

Andrei.

Any clue ?

Thanks

I think you are referring to the Ethernet over usb feature of c.h.i.p. If so I could only get that to work when connecting it to a Linux PC, and a quick google search tells me the same. If you are running Linux (even a live cd/usb should work) all you should have to do is connect chip via usb and you will get a Ethernet connection notification. Then run ‘ifconfig’ in the terminal to get the ip address.

Thanks for the hint.
I’ll give it a go and let you guys know.

OK. so I got 10.10.10.169 under ubuntu, but the IP is not accessible neither using HTTP, neither using SSH.

Try 10.10.10.10, CHIP should have the DHCP server so 10.10.10.169 should be your IP. I could be wrong , wouldn’t be the first time.
