Lost the IP address
Posted: 09 Mar 2019, 15:00
Hi there
I am new to both the Rev Pi and all things Linux.
All started well, I did sudo apt-get update then install rev-pi firmware then I loaded Mosquitto, sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-client
All well so far
I then wanted to fix the IP address to a static IP address 192.168.1.253
I did this:
sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.253/24
iface eth0 inet manual
and then saved the config
I have lost the Rev Pi !!
The IP address is not 192.168.1.253 and it is not being assigned an IP address automatically either.
How can I reset the device to factory default with the USB cable as I cannot connect via the Ethernet port?
I have installed the jessy image 2017-09-22-revpi-jessie.img via USB and Win32 Disk Imager hoping that this would work but I still cannot see the device
Regards
Rob
