Yes, I am able to get networking to work out of the box (bitbake
core-image-sato, etc.) Internetworking does not work out of the box.

This is accomplished over tun/tap devices - I do not know much about
these virtual networking devices - they have never failed for me :-)

The IP address of the emulated machine is 192.168.7.2 - The IP address
of host machine is 192.168.7.1

You can not (out of the box) communicate with machines other than the
host machine - so that would included internet etc.

So, if you have an ssh server or a web-server running on the host
machine - you can ssh to the host machine or browse a webpage using
the browser. Alternatively, you can run a proxy server on the build
machine and use it to get to the internet.

You can run ifconfig to see if the network is configured properly on
the emulated machine in the terminal. It should show 192.168.7.2 - if
you do not see this - you do not have networking working.


I can see the tap0 interface on my host at 192.168.7.1 by using ifconfig.
I can also see the eth0 on the qemu machine at 192.168.7.2
However, my host has an ip of 10.0.1.54 with a AP gateway at 10.0.1.1.
Somehow I need to connect the networks and I'm not sure exactly how to
do that so that DNS servers get used and the traffic all flows.

There is some sort of routing or IP forwarding bug in the sato images that is due to be fixed soon. One thing I've found is you can actually get out to the internet for about 30 seconds or so immediately after the image boots. My suspicion is that some conman script is killing the route after boot. core-image-minimal works consistently, and since minimal doesn't use conman, I'm guessing that is the culprit.
