Cannot resolve hostname when using automatic upload

[vivekh99]

when using the automatic upload command,
./upload_app.sh rp-XXXXXX.local

I get the error /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: ssh: Could not resolve hostname rp-f06f76.local: Name or service not known

has anyone else encountered this? My RedPitaya is connected to my computer via ethernet cable

Hi vivekh99,
just to make sure, you can connect to your redpitaya manually (e.g. ssh)? Maybe try the script with the ip adress of your stemlab instead.
As a workaround, you may try to upload the app via scp to your redpitaya as described in the readme file.

Also, you can use your own SSH client and upload the lock-in+pid folder the the RedPiaya folder: /opt/redpitaya/www/apps

More info how to do that here.
For a more specific answer I would need to know more abour your network architecture.

Hi iqjheine,

Using the IP address solved the problem. Using the above command but with the IP address instead of rp-XXXXXX.local. I connected the red pitaya ethernet cable to a router instead of the laptop while doing this.

any reason for why this worked and why using the local hostname didnt work?

Thanks for your earlier response
