eth0 not getting IP address after flashing bone-debian-11.3-iot-armhf-2022-05-10-4gb.img.xz onto BeagleBone Black

[jamesbraza]

After placing bone-debian-11.3-iot-armhf-2022-05-10-4gb.img.xz onto a microSD card, and flashing it onto the eMMc of a BeagleBone Black, I found no IP address is present for eth0.

> route -n

> sudo systemctl restart networking
> sudo route add default gw 10.123.0.1
SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

What am I doing wrong, and how can I hook up Ethernet so I can ssh into the newly-imaged BBB?

eth0 works fine..

Thanks for the speedy response! I am not sure what went wrong for me then. I didn't know about that BBB forum, thanks for pointing out!

I ended up going with the AM3358 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB SD IoT image from https://beagleboard.org/latest-images for my BeagleBone Black, so ima just close this out.
