net-usb-4.9.22-piCore added to piiCore 9.x armv6 repo

Hi Juanito,

Are you saying that it was added, or that will be added at a later date? Because I can't find it here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/9.x/armv6/tcz/
nor
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/9.x/armv6/tcz/updates/updatelist.txt
which is where it should be located, yes? (as of this posting)

[Juanito]

You should find it at repo.tinycorelinux.net

It just hasn't propagated to the mirror sites yet.

Thanks, guys!

For future reference, to use a USB-ethernet adapter with piCore 9 on a pi zero:

• Download http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz
• Place it on the SD card: /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/
• Add "net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz" to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst
• Put the SD card into the pi zero, boot, and it should show up on your LAN automatically via DHCP

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I'm having this problem today.

I'm just trying to plug my Raspberry Pi Zero using PiCore on USB as a network device, so I can just SSH into it.

I've tried already the last post's procedure (putting "http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz" on "/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/" and adding the "net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz" line to the end of the "/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst" file.
After reboot, nothing happened.
Tried the regular "Raspbian" procedure as well after the above procedure (add "dtoverlay=dwc2" on "config.txt" and "modules-load=dwc2,g_ether" after "rootwait" on "cmdline.txt" file), but obviously with that the keyboard attached to Pi stops working after reboot (because of gadget mode) and still no network device.

What am I missing? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

I also tried to get this running, but I had the same problem as juliannojungle.

But I recognized in some other thread, that "net-usb-KERNEL.tcz" has to be loaded and installed.
If I manually try to do "tce-load -i net-usb-KERNEL.tcz" eth0 appears and the module r8152 is loaded.
After a reboot, eth0 is gone again.

So I added the line "net-usb-KERNEL.tcz" in "/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/onboot.lst" instead of "net-usb-4.9.22-piCore.tcz".
After a reboot, it works!

Maybe you could try this also.
Best regards
Gerhard

I think I did not make myself clear. Sorry for that.
What I meant wasn't to connect an USB network adapter to the Pi, but just plug the Pi on computer's USB and SSH it.

I've tried the "tce-load -i net-usb-KERNEL.tcz" and still didn't get the usb0 on ifconfig.

Tried the following as well: https://gist.github.com/chr15m/84d7f4b0eba45102848a76ac6b47b449
That is:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi net-usb-4.9.22-piCore-v7
modprobe cdc_ether
modprobe usbnet
ifconfig -a
ifconfig usb0 up
sudo /sbin/udhcpc -b -i usb0 -x hostname:$HOSTNAME -p /var/run/udhcpc.usb0.pidbut got stuck on "modprobe usbnet", with message: "modprobe: module usbnet not found in modules.dep"

Really have no idea on what to do. :/

I see. Completely different story. Sorry.

There is an answer in the thread, that you mentioned:

For rpi zero use net-usb-4.9.22-piCore from http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv6/tcz/, as it's armv6, not armv7.

Does this help?
