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).


 

Network issues are best addressed on the HL2 page. So lets work this out there.
