Configuring NETCONSOLE on a Raspberry Pi 4B

[David Walker]

As I mentioned in my previous note, I've been trying to get NETCONSOLE configured on my RPI 4B to collect debug logs while booting. The RPI 4B is 192.168.3.6, and I used "sudo nc -u -l 6666" to collect the output on 192.168.3.1 (on the same subnet).

Usingrpi-eeprom-config on Tumbleweed and documentation at https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html, I tried a number of variations of:

   CLIENT_IP=192.168.3.6
   SUBNET=255.255.255.0
   NETCONSOLE=6665@192.168.3.6/,6666@/




Has anyone gotten this to work who could provide some tips?

Thanks!

David

The CLIENT_IP and SUBNET options are needed, as there's no DHCP server on that subnet. I tried "TFTP_IP=192.168.3.1", as the documentation indicated that it was needed along with CLIENT_IP and SUBNET to skip DHCP, but it didn't help. I also tried making NETCONSOLE's argument string more explicit, but there's a 32-character limit, so I couldn't do much there.
