can't give Hermes LIte 2 a static IP address; now can't get Quisk to even find the HL2
|
Last Friday (7/12) I was attempting to set up static ip addresses on my HL2 & Laptop-based Quisk. I tried various combinations using the IP related fields: “Hermes Known IP”, “IP Change”, “Eeprom IP usage”, “Eeprom IP Address”. While it appeared that the static address in the HL2 took, Quisk was never able to connect using static addresses. ?
?
I was successful at getting APIPA to work (269.254.x.x addresses) but never on static. I was routinely able to get quisk to find and control the hl2 using APIPA.
?
Late Friday I shut down the HL2.
?
Early this week I tried again but found I can no longer connect via ethernet to the hl2. I see the link light and some activity light but Quisk never finds the HL2. Also, the frequency of the activity light is much diminished from what I’ve seen before.
Also, several fields that I was seeing last Friday no longer appear in the Config | HL2 tab. Specifically “Eeprom IP Usage”, “Eeprom MAC usage”, “Eeprom IP address”, “Eeprom MAC Address” are missing.
?
Hermes code version and board ID have not changed.
?
What could be wrong? Is there a way to reset the HL2 and/or rewrite eeprom? Do I need to rewrite the FPGA (without ethernet since it won’t connect). Do I need to blow away and reinstall quisk (I’m on version 4.2.31; current version is 4.2.35 so I’m pretty up to date).
