How do I resolve DNS addresses with Automotive Grade Linux (Halibut 8.0.0)?

I have Automotive Grade Linux (Halibut 8.0.0) installed on a Qualcomm board.
I can bring up ethernet okay.

sa8155:~# ifconfig eth0 up
sa8155:~# udhcpc
udhcpc: started, v1.29.3
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending select for 10.0.0.112
udhcpc: lease of 10.0.0.112 obtained, lease time 604800
/etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 75.75.75.75
/etc/udhcpc.d/50default: Adding DNS 75.75.76.76

Notice that DHCP reports that the name servers are being retrieved correctly.

And I can ping the name servers:

sa8155:~# ping 75.75.75.75
PING 75.75.75.75 (75.75.75.75): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 75.75.75.75: seq=0 ttl=58 time=8.973 ms
64 bytes from 75.75.75.75: seq=1 ttl=58 time=19.634 ms
64 bytes from 75.75.75.75: seq=2 ttl=58 time=11.391 ms

However, I cannot use DNS to resolve any names.

sa8155:~# nslookup debian.org
nslookup: write to '127.0.0.1': Connection refused
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I noticed that /etc/resolv.conf is empty
other than this comment:

sa8155:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by Connection Manager

I tried manually editing /etc/resolv.conf like so:

sa8155:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by Connection Manager
search example.com local.test
nameserver 75.75.75.75
nameserver 75.75.76.76

But that seems to disable the ethernet interface altogether.

sa8155:~# nslookup www.google.com
nslookup: write to '127.0.0.1': Connection refused
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

I tried manually adding a single host and ip address pair to /etc/hosts,
but I could not edit that file even though I am root.

sa8155:~# ls -alF /etc/ | grep host
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root         26 Nov 13  2019 host.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root     111912 Nov 13  2019 hostapd.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root          7 Nov 13  2019 hostname
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root        237 Nov 13  2019 hosts
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root          0 Nov 13  2019 hosts.allow
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root          0 Nov 13  2019 hosts.deny
sa8155:~# chmod 766 /etc/hosts
chmod: changing permissions of `/etc/hosts': Read-only file system

So I tried using ConnMan to add the DNS entries.

Here is the procedure

However, connmanctl services does not return the expected list.

sa8155:~# connmanctl services
Error: The name net.connman was not provided by any .service files
sa8155:~# 

UPDATE: cat /etc/nsswitch.conf

sa8155:/etc/systemd/network# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf 
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
