hi dan,

when i am trying "sudo ifconfig eth0" command, it is showing "/system/bin/sh: sudo not found".
Is there any other way to flash a ".apk" binary to pandaboard?

Please let me know.

Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,

If your purpose is to set the ip address for the eth0 interface in pandaboard, do the following

first to check what are the interface available and their properties execute the command

$ netcfg

you can see eth0 as DOWN with no IP address

Now execute

$ ifconfig eth0 192.xxx.xxx.xxx up

Now your ethernet interface would have been configured.
