## Herelink - Ethernet

[**Herelink Ethernet**](https://discuss.cubepilot.org/t/herelink-ethernet/4369) \
\
I’m trying to get ethernet passthrough working. I’m running on the Beta Channel, SRU01200616 on the ground unit and the corresponding version on the airside.

I understand an ethernet adapter with a R8152/8153 chip is required, I have an ANKER A7610011 and a Cable Matters 202023-BLK for testing. Both use the correct chip according to the Amazon comments, although it's very hard to get the information directly from the manufactures.

On the ground side, I have a generic OTG adapter and have tested it with a USB stick. On the airside I have an OTG charging passthrough cable, this allows to power the adapter (and the airside, and cube, I’m not sure if that is a good idea).

I understand with an adapter on both ends it should be a transparent link but I can't seem to get it working.

It does have to be said that I am a complete beginner with regard to networking stuff such as this.

**The next trick is getting ADB access to confirm (GCS)**\
\
Here is a new bootimage for the GCS unit to make the R8152/53 detect. [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MGFAqC1zXrdnO2yEGhaigW-xktIx2cHj/view?usp=sharing 2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MGFAqC1zXrdnO2yEGhaigW-xktIx2cHj/view?usp=sharing) (GCS unit bootimage with R8152)\
the stock image includes\
AX8817X\
AX88179\_178A\
NET1080

to update the boot image via USB (i assume you have ADB access already/developer mode)

> adb reboot bootloader\
> fastboot flash boot boot.img\
> fastboot reboot

Next, we enable ADB via TCPIP, but first, we need to enable this via USB

> adb shell\
> setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555\
> reboot

then after the reboot, get the IP of the GCS unit (eg 10.0.0.99)

> adb connect 10.0.0.99\
> adb shell

you should get the shell again\
do a

> ifconfig

and check if eth0 exists

Now verify we can ADB into the air unit\
once you have ADB to the GCS unit, power on the air unit and do a

> adb shell (gets you into the gcs unit)\
> adb connect 192.168.0.10\
> adb -s 192.168.0.10:5555 shell

this should now get you into the air unit.

Next\
try running a

> /bin/busybox brctl show

under interfaces, you should see vxlan1 and eth0

> optimus\:/ $ /bin/busybox brctl show\
> bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces\
> br-vxlan 8000.00e04c360345 no vxlan1\
> eth0

also, run

> ping 192.168.144.10\
> ping 192.168.144.11

these are the bridge endpoint IP’s

during testing, make sure the screen stays on there GCS unit, otherwise, power-saving features limit background data flow (A most likely setting I have not found yet)

I've just confirmed that this is working ok. one possible caveat. if your home network is using 192.168.0.x, things may not work.

## Herelink airunit fan installation

When using Dual Streaming mode, the Herelink can get quite warm, for best results, please install a fan on the top using the provided screws, rubber rings, washers and nuts in the installation pack.

\*Fan is not provided The fan showing in the video obtained from Digi-Key URL: <https://www.digikey.hk/product-detail/en/mechatronics-fan-group/MR3010E12B-RSR/1570-1346-ND/7606131>

\*Please prepare a pair of tweezers and a M1.6 nut driver for installation.

A: The error message tells that the adb is running already. It can be fixed with the following command: \
**adb kill-server**

## Herelink Dual Video Instruction

**\*\*\*Enabling this feature will get Herelink very hot. Please install \***[**cooling fan**](https://docs.cubepilot.org/user-guides/herelink/herelink-faq#herelink-airunit-fan-installation)**\* on Herelink otherwise it will be overheated soon.\*\*\***

#### Prerequisite

1. Install ADB and Google drivers
2. Then Setting-up the device for ADB

Steps are same as step 1 and 2 in `Generate a bug report` instruction:

{% embed url="<https://docs.cubepilot.org/user-guides/herelink/herelink-user-guides/generate-a-bug-report>" %}

#### Enable Multiple Video Stream via ADB

Connect controller unit to computer via ADB and run

> adb shell setprop persist.multiple.videostream true\
> \
> adb reboot

Then repeat on air unit. Both of them need the setprop set.

The video stream will be available at these 2 addresses

> rtsp\://(wifiIPongcs):8554/fpv\_stream\
> rtsp\://(wifiIPongcs):8554/fpv\_stream1

#### Notice

1. Ensure something valid is connected to HDMI1 also, otherwise HDMI2 will not work.
2. Ensure [cooling fan](https://docs.cubepilot.org/user-guides/herelink/herelink-faq#herelink-airunit-fan-installation) is connected, else the air unit will be overheated.

#### Disable Multiple Video Stream

To disable and restore the setting, connect the unit to computer via ADB and run

> adb shell setprop persist.multiple.videostream false\
> \
> adb reboot
