Can't change usb0 static IP with network config or uboot config file!

Hi!
I’ve been trying to change the static IP on my BBB’s usb0 interface, but even though I’ve changed the entry in the /etc/network/interfaces file as well as the usb0 IP address as set in the uEnv on the boot partition, my BBB insists on taking the default IP of 192.168.7.2. What’s going on?

Here’s the modified boot config file, which is found in scripts/setup-ubuntu-armhf-3…ne30.sh:

#!/bin/bash

Update /etc/network/interfaces to add virtual Ethernet port

cat >>/etc/network/interfaces <<EOF

iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
gateway 192.168.7.1
EOF

Add terminal to virtual serial port

cat >/etc/init/gadget-serial.conf <<EOF
start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
#exec /sbin/getty 115200 ttyGS0
exec /sbin/getty 9600 ttyGS0
EOF

Write script to start gadget driver

cat >/usr/sbin/g-multi-load.sh <<‘EOF’
#!/bin/bash
if [ “lsmod | grep g_multi” != “” ]; then exit 0; fi
mac_addr=/proc/device-tree/ocp/ethernet@4a100000/slave@4a100300/mac-address
eeprom=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0050/eeprom

DEV_ADDR=$(perl -e ‘print join(":",unpack("(H2)*",<>))’ ${mac_addr})
VERSION=$(perl -e ‘@x=unpack(“A12A4”,<>); print $x[1]’ ${eeprom})
SERIAL_NUMBER=$(perl -e ‘@x=unpack(“A16A12”,<>); print $x[1]’ ${eeprom})
ISBLACK=$(perl -e ‘@x=unpack(“A20A4”,<>); print $x[1]’ ${eeprom})

BLACK=""
if [ “${ISBLACK}” = “BBBK” ] ; then
BLACK=“Black”
fi
if [ “${ISBLACK}” = “BNLT” ] ; then
BLACK=“Black”
fi

modprobe g_multi file=/dev/mmcblk0p1 cdrom=0 stall=0 removable=1 nofua=1 iSerialNumber=${SERIAL_NUMBER} iManufacturer=Circuitco iProduct=BeagleBone${BLACK} host_addr=${DEV_ADDR}

Enable the network interface

sleep 1
ifup usb0
EOF
chmod +x /usr/sbin/g-multi-load.sh

Add script to rc.local

perl -i -pe ‘s!^exit 0!/usr/sbin/g-multi-load.sh\nexit 0!’ /etc/rc.local

Install DHCP server

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install isc-dhcp-server

Configure DHCP server

cat >/etc/ltsp/dhcp.conf <<EOF
ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.252 {
range 192.168.7.1 192.168.7.1;
}
EOF
perl -i -pe ‘s/INTERFACES=".*"/INTERFACES=“usb0”/’ /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

Start up services

/usr/sbin/g-multi-load.sh
service isc-dhcp-server start

Thanks!!

it's enabled on bootup via:

/opt/scripts/boot/am335x_evm.sh
