dhcpcd (DHCP client daemon) is a lightweight, reliable DHCP client and network configuration daemon commonly used on Linux-based embedded systems and single-board computers (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, etc.). Version 6.8.2 is a stable maintenance release; here I summarize what’s relevant for armv7l deployments, give practical setup examples, troubleshooting tips, and security considerations. : The version of the "Dynamic Host Configuration

If the DHCP server fails, 6.8.2 will exit after a timeout. Modern versions fall back to 169.254.x.x (IPv4LL). To emulate this, uncomment option interface_ipv4ll in /etc/dhcpcd.conf and ensure the 10-ipv4ll hook is executable. But beware: the hook uses arping , which may not be present on minimal builds.
