Hi all.
I build Armbian for "orangepipcplus" as described here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
After build finished, I've got Armbian_5.24_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_3.4.113.img image, flash it to SD card, and my OPi starts well, thanks!
All things that necessary for my work tasks - works fine: USB, USB OTG, WiFi,
but... no Ethernet :-(
When I plug Ethernet cable into my PC and OPi - no LED blinks at both sides (but Ethernet on PC 100% works, tested with Raspberry Pi, for example).
In console kernel logs I see the following:
[ **] A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (26s / 5min 6s) And OPi actually waits 5 minutes, but fails with:
[FAILED] Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
dmesg for gmac and eth0 is following:
[ 11.323860] gmac0: probed [ 11.324213] gmac0 gmac0: eth0: eth0: PHY ID 00441400 at 0 IRQ poll (gmac0-0:00) [ 16.780250] ==> rtl8188e_iol_efuse_patch [ 17.062774] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 19.413458] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 21.640063] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [ 29.920044] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
ifconfig shows eth0, it's UP, I can set IP address manually, but I suggest problem is NOT in TCP/IP, but deeper...
ethtool and mii-tool shows:
root@orangepipcplus:~# ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Half Port: MII PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external Auto-negotiation: on Link detected: no
root@orangepipcplus:~# mii-tool eth0: no link
Could you please advise - what to check next? what settings I should check in kernel config? in u-boot config?
(cable works fine with another board, but with OrangePi I even see NO blinking LEDs on OPi's Ethernet socket, perhaps PHY chip Realtek 8211E is off somehow...)
P.S.
I need _any_ Ethernet working, (not exactly 1Gbps) Fast Ethernet 100Mbps - more than enough for my tasks.
P.P.S.
Did anyone test USB Ethernet adapter as a temporary solution? which model works fine?
