Herelink Ethernet

ensure the ethernet is powered before the herelink

if it still doesnt show up then your adapter is not supported

after this step
we connect usb to lan to windows
But Hirlink does not receive IP

But I link the router (microtik) to Herelink
IP is received 192.168.5.166

If I can set a static IP (herelink)
I think the problem will be solved

you cannot set static ip
but by default ip of herelink air unit is 192.168.144.10

so if you set laptop static ip to 192.168.144.50

laptop should see herelink

dear Michael
We connect adapters to Air unit .

AX8817X
AX88179_178A
NET1080
R8152

to update the boot image via usb (i asume you have adb access already/developer mode)

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img “”"
can You please help. I need to connect jetson board with air unit and ssh with ground unit.
I cant able to get the the boot.img file for flashing.
Thanks in advance

Hi @Michael_Oborne
I’m trying to create a ethernet connection between Ground Unit and Air unit. But I have some problems about it.

My first setup is Ground Side > Ethernet adapter > Ethernet adapter > Air side
But when I did this setup my both devices couldn’t get ip with eth0
I saw from ifconfig;
lmi40 with 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.11
br-vxlan with 192.168.144.10 and 192.168.144.11

After that I updated my setup and add an router between ethernet adapters.
New setup is Ground side > ethernet adapter > router > ethernet adapter > Air unit
Now I can get ip via dhpc from router to Ground side.
And also I manually run dhcpcd in Air unit and it get ip address via dhcp too.

Now I have data communication on my custom app in Ground Unit, between both devices and I have 192.168.0.x ip on eth0.
But I cant get video stream from eth0 and I cant find any information about it.

PS : I cant install any app to air unit and I cant make my our video stream bridge.
Do you have any idea or advice about this setup??

please update your GCS unit to the new beta release a few days ago

It helps for me, thank you!

Hello @Michael_Oborne,
is a new beta version available for Herelink?
Or what do you mean by GCS system?
How can I install the beta (Current version on Herelink BRU01210730)?
Thank you!

You can look at here :

You can update your system with those steps.

Just you will need to use Product Key.

Hi @Michael_Oborne , me again. I create my setup again with ethernet cable bu I have a new problem.

As I define before I have a setup like:
Ground Side > Ethernet to USB adapter > Ethernet Cable > Ethernet to USB adapter > Air side.

Now I have a problem on this connection, LOOP.
I setup the ethernet connection and it runs on ethernet. But there is a point, wireless connection do not stop and still continue to send data. It causes a loop on my connection and it causes unstable connection on this setup.

1st step, I tried to down wireless connection(lmi40) from air unit from shell, I reached stable connection. But it opens itself automatically.
2nd step, I tried to down wireless connection(lmi40) from GCS but it doesn’t give permission to me (bcz there is no root). (I tried “ifconfig lmi40 down”)
3rd step, I tried to install a script autostart on air unit but I can’t install it too. It gives permission to down wireless connection(lmi40) from shell but doesn’t give permission to install any script or apk.

How can I solve this problem? Is there any idea about it?

Thanks for replies.

why are you looping it? i dont understand the requirement.

I dont want any loop in it. System does it itself. If both connection (wireless with lmi40 and eth0) are up, my connection is not stable.
I tried to down lmi40 on air unit with “ifconfig lmi40 down”, it closes the wireless connection between air unit and GCS. Then, I see stable connection with only eth0.

I can’t do the same thing on GCS because there is no root and “ifconfig lmi40 down” is not permitted.

I still don’t understand why you are connecting the 2 directly to each other via ethernet

what is you intent? with what you are describing, a loop is exactly what i expect, and by design.
