Configuring networking

Configure a static network for your automotive operating system (OS) image.

Prerequisites

• A custom OS image manifest

Procedure

1. Add SSH packages to your manifest:

   Extra SSH RPMs

   mpp-vars:
     name: networking
     # Add ssh
     extra_rpms:
       - openssh-server
       - openssh-clients
   

2. Configure the static_ip variable overrides:

   Example static network configuration

     # Configure a static network
     use_static_ip: true # NetworkManager is not used. Hard-coded network configurations apply.
     static_ip: "169.254.6.21"
     static_ip_prefixlen: 24
     static_gw: "169.254.6.2"
     static_dns: "169.254.6.3"
     static_ip_iface: eth0
     static_ip_module: "virtio_net"
   

3. Enable SSH root access:

   SSH root access configuration

     # Permit ssh login as root, so sshd runs (demo tests)
     - type: org.osbuild.sshd.config
       options:
         config:
           PasswordAuthentication: true
           PermitRootLogin: true
   

4. Enable the SSH service through systemd:

   SSH service managed by systemd

     - type: org.osbuild.systemd
       options:
         enabled_services:
         - sshd.service
   

Next steps

1. Configure the firewall for your OS image.
2. Configure interprocess communications (IPCs) between your ASIL and QM containers and across partitions.
3. Encrypt your filesystem.
4. Enable BlueChi orchestration.
5. Build your automotive OS image with kernel-automotive or your custom kernel.
