Cross cable connection from OpenBSD to Linux, help!

[Freezr]

Hi Guys,

I am sorry for being so unashamed but I need to connect the RPI2 to my OpenBSD Net(crap)book to start doing (hopefully) Pico-8 development.

For the chronicle TIC-80 freezes the Crapbook...

My idea is to connect OpenBSD/Crapbook to Devuan/RPI2 through a crossing Ethernet cable; with my few spare time available I found on internet that is feasible but I haven't found any monkey example to copy...

I know (more or less) how to setup a static connection on Linux but I have very few experience with OpenBSD, so far my setup only says:

autoconf

Which is pretty neat but I need to use OpenBSD as gateway(?) therefore any suggestion or link is highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Set the IP address and netmask from OpenBSD with

ifconfig $interface inet 10.0.0.1/24

And then from the Pi:

ip a add 10.0.0.2/24 dev $interface

In both cases replace $interface with the actual interface name.

Once that is done the two address should be visible from each machine.

No gateway is needed for a cross-cable connection, at least AFAIK. They just need to be on the same subnet.

Disclaimer: I've never actually tried this.

Eventually I edit both configuration files manually and it worked like a charm, I could connect from OpenBSD/Netobook to the Devuan/RPI2 through VNC and this was, at least for me, pretty amazing!
