Hello! Recently I built a custom image which depended on a DHCP server to configure Ethernet. runqemu with tap for networking doesn't provide one at the moment, so ssh logins did not work. Instead of customizing images for runqemu, I think it would be better to adapt runqemu and uses images as on the target device. Attached two patches which work for me. Is that of interest for inclusion upstream? I suppose more work is needed, in particular around how to enable or disable this feature. Patching the .bb files also leads to a (to me) strange QA error. See the comments in the patches for details. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
