6These will start the tap0 network interface for you so that you don't have to
7have loop-socat.sh and loop-slip-tap.sh open in other terminals when you run
8Zephyr in QEMU with networking.

11************

13The loop-socat creates a file which needs to be readable and writeable by the
14user who is running Zephyr in QEMU. Therefore you need to create a zephyr user
15before running these unit files.
16
17.. code-block:: console
18
19 $ sudo useradd -r zephyr
20 $ sudo usermod -aG zephyr $USER
21 $ cp *.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/
22 $ sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/systemd/system/loop-s*
23
24Now edit the unit files to provide them with the locations of your net-tools
25scripts. Then start the services.
26
27.. code-block:: console
28
29 $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
30 $ sudo systemctl enable loop-socat loop-slip-tap
31 $ sudo systemctl start loop-socat loop-slip-tap
