Introduction This tutorial will guide you through configuring networking in Yocto using systemd-networkd. This is one of the possible network management utilities available in Yocto. Other utilities may be documented in other tutorials. This will use a Raspberry Pi 3 platform so that we can demon…

To whome it may concern: My problems from above seem to have been because I was running thud. I just upgraded to zeus which broke my network config. Changing back to your filename for the conf file worked. So everthing worked for me on thud using the filename “wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf” and now it …

Hi Hub Members, According to Variscite ( http://variwiki.com/index.php?title=Static_IP_Address ): “ConnMan is the default Yocto network manager.” Systemd-networkd will conflict with it. Do you recommend to use it and turn off ConnMan? Why? How? Thank You Israel

This is really going to be driven by your products requirements as to what you need and which gives you what you need. :slight_smile: Personally i use Systemd-networkd (on variscite products as well custom ones) as i have to use it so heavily for others parts of my headless embedded products, local…

@drewmoseley , I found your excellent slides that can be helpful for this page’s visitors.

Thanks for finding that. It slipped my mind. I didn’t realize that connman was the default but my local setups mostly use systemd-networkd. connman and NetworkManager may be better for devices that are going to be used in more dynamic situations as systemd-networkd doesn’t have any good frontends …

How does this work when I am using a read only root file system. And I have to modify my .network file?

You’ll need to arrange for the .network file to be moved to the data partition and replaced with a symlink. Alternatively, if the changes are static, you can simply modify it in the Yocto build. Drew

If I do that. I have restart systemd-networkd service after boot.

Well normally these kind of changes will be done in the Yocto build rather than on the target to avoid such issues. Do you have a requirement where it must be done on the target? Drew

Well the requirement is to change wired.network as I have to switch between static and dynamic profile. [image] drewmoseley: Well normally these kind of changes will be done in the Yocto build rather than on the target to avoid such issues I am not an expert on yocto. I am still learning it …
