Get IP addresses of Device

[Navneet]

Hello,

I am trying to find the IP address of the devices.

Device: nRF52840 DK

Setup: Running virtual Ubuntu 18.04 inside Windows 10 (using VMWare).

I am able to connect with devices via JLink.

I have tried using JLink command ->  'ipaddr', which results in 'this device does not support ethernet'. I suspect this is the case because of the virtual machine.

Please help me find the IP addresses.

Also, does the device automatically connects to the internet? if not how do I configure the network connection?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Navneet,

                    I am not sure that the dk has an ip address over usb. Standard ubuntu is doing block device emulation for usb which is why when you plug it in it comes up as a mounted file system.

Hey Paul, so how do I communicate between them without an IP? Any ideas?

It does have a wireless adapter right? So, it should be able to connect with the network.

It has bluetooth, I am not sure about wireless...

Paul, I was trying to connect with Internet via Bluetooth. I am trying to connect my phone with the device so that I will have IP over BLE. But, my phone is not able to scan the devices.

I have BLE enable phone and I am using nrf BLE Joiner for scanning, I am trying to follow this tutorial.

Thanks.

Sorry Navneet, I have never done that. If your phone can't see the device then it is not advertising. There are a group of three tutorials that are considered fundamental to bluetooth on this chip. The advertising one is here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/b/bluetooth-low-energy/posts/ble-advertising-a-beginners-tutorial. I followed this to get the device advertising.
