sorry for my late answer. I have missed a point.
No problem on my side - my answers are sometime even longer.
Please drop fix ip address. They should not be part of mainline,
Here, I have a problem as our documentation on the wiki armadeus.org is based on this default IP addresses. We really need a set of default IP addresses for private network to simplify as much as possible the life of the armadeus project developers. I never seen such a restriction in U-Boot doc and moreover there is a set CONFIG_XXIP documented in U-BOOT that confusing me, Is there another solution for a complete usable default configuration?
Well, you will find a lot of NAK for patches that set fix IP addresses in the ML. Even if this default address is described in your documentation, what happens if two users of yours, as you say they are newbies, attach their board to the same LAN using the same "default" address ?
Ok, I missed these threads regarding IP address. My recommendation for two or more developer is (was) to use each one its own private network for the development using a dedicated ethernet interface.
Is it not better to explain them they need a *correct* ip address ?
Sure - That's the reason DHCP is also enable
