Doh! Guess i was falling asleep.. "udhcpd" is the client... sudo apt-get remove udhcpc ; sudo apt-get install udhcpd Then you also need the script to enable it: sudo mkdir -p /opt/scripts/boot/ cd /opt/scripts/boot/ sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/master/boot/am335x_evm.sh sudo chmod +x am335x_evm.sh Anywho.. That's not the point of the console image. It's spec'd to just be enough to boot and flash the eMMC.
