DART-6UL Ethernet

DART-6UL - Ethernet

Testing

There are two 100MB/s ports on the kit, eth0 & eth1.

On Host:

$ ifconfig   (to get the IP address)
$ iperf3 -s

On Client:

$ iperf3 -c <IP_ADDRESS_OF_IPERF_SERVER> -u -b 100M

Using only one Ethernet port

Apply the following patch to the Linux kernel source, for removing the second Ethernet port, in case your own custom carrier board only has one and doesn't have the second Ethernet phy:

Note: You can follow the "Build Linux from source code" guide to get the Linux kernel source, apply the above patch, build only the device trees and copy them to your SD card.
