Discovering the Parallella board on network (UDP broadcast)
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:53 pm
I was thinking about adding a daemon to Parabuntu that allows you to easily discover the IP Addresses of any parallella boards on the network. I noticed the default nameserver for the boards is Google DNS, so it doesn't register the hostname "parallella" with the local network nameserver that it is on. To make it easier to discover boards I was thinking about adding a simple daemon that listens for broadcasts of a client trying to find them. Anyone have any objections? I would also add a client to the eSDK for finding the boards.
