I said "but, using broadcast, the installer have to configure his laptop on the same subnet of board". It means configuration necessary AFTER ip discovery
Sure but...Let the device autoconfigure itself (dhcp, autoip...) then broadcast its address. The PC receives the device address. If the device address is "compatible" (on the same subnet) then it uses it. Else the PC computes a "compatible" address and broadcasts it to the network. The device receives the new address and reconfigures itself to use it.
