OK thx - rather than Jammy I think I finally got bookworm to "fly", but the freshly flashed image booted without network, and thus the initial setup is a bit cumbersome. As from the "logs" below I had to unmask the systemd-networkd.service first, before the network ports became usable ... PS: Beside just unmasking the service with systemctl unmask systemd-networkd.service it has to be enabled as well with systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service to have it started after a reboot.

BTW: How would you (easily) install armbian-config, if you don't have internet connection? 😉 But yes, as it's part of the jammy / booksworm builds: I've tried set stauts of some ports to managed, or to set a static IP address - no success.

Sorry folks, I think I'm suffering from the the same 'disease', but I'm still 'blind' to see the solution to the following issue. I'm on a v5 board to which I flashed the "new" uboot version a long time, ago. (I think I flashed flash-image-DDR3-1g_2cs_2-800_800.bin that time as I had timing issues with the version with higher speed.) Though I could get the system to boot after the reset of the uboot environment I never was able to get the i-net running on the applied images, so I gave up in the end. "Messing around" with my Cubietrucks atm I thought I would give the espressobin a second try, but still without success. To me it looks like network manager is running and when I set "/sbin/ip link set dev wan up" as suggested by @y52 the wan-port will get ipv6 addresses (I have to connections to the i-net), but no ipv4 ones. So what do I have to do to get those (in the meantime community versions of bookworm etc.) to work?

It does, thx!

Folks, it has been a long time since I messed around with my ebin v5, but just wanted give it a second chance as I need to do something about my EOL Cubietruck (and my "broken" NT4 domain). So I started a second attempt with "Armbian_22.08.1_Espressobin_bullseye_current_5.15.63" just a few days ago, but didn't got much further than updating uboot and to apt update / upgrade the system, before I got distracted again. In the meantime I noticed the new "Armbian_22.11.1_Espressobin_bullseye_current_5.15.80" and I thought it would be a better idea starting from scratch with that version. However, when I boot this up from SD the only interface shown ("ifconfig") is lo. (I 'see' the other port with "ifconfig -a", but I don't get an IP set (via DHCP) whatever physical port I use on the topaz switch, though the leds are happily blinking indicating a proper link.

Yes, but the the LTS support for Jessie is till end of June 2022! https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/ "Debian 9 has been superseded by Debian 10 (buster). Security updates have been discontinued as of July 6th, 2020. However, stretch benefits from Long Term Support (LTS) until the end of June 2022. The LTS is limited to i386, amd64, armel, armhf and arm64. All other architectures are no longer supported in stretch. For more information, please refer to the LTS section of the Debian Wiki." --> "Debian Long Term Support (LTS) is a project to extend the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years. Debian LTS is not handled by the Debian security team, but by a separate group of volunteers and companies interested in making it a success. Thus the Debian LTS team takes over security maintenance of the various releases once the Debian Security team stops its work."

Thx! Yes, I'm trying to connect to the console of a cubietruck. (Access from the cubietruck to the console of the espressobin works).

Hi, I'm using an esprossobin with Debian Stretch with Armbian Linux 4.19.56-mvebu64. However regardless inwhat USB-TTL / Serial adapter I connect to he espressobin's USB2.0 port I don't get a ttyUSB0 device I tried to use a Prolific and a couple of others I got lend from a friend

I know it's not you to blame, but it's again disappointing with a GlobalScale product, which I bought as *up* to 1.2 GHz, just to find, that it's not even good enough to scale down to 1000/800, but even down to 800/800 to get a stable service.

Started from 5.75 image again and installed the below one by one with a reboot in between linux-u-boot-espressobin-next 5.85 --> OK linux-stretch-root-next-espressobin 5.85 --> OK linux-image-next-mvebu64 5.84 --> hangs (linux-dtb-next-mvebu64 5.85) PS: Once again 5.75 -> linux-u-boot-espressobin-next 5.85 --> OK linux-stretch-root-next-espressobin 5.85 --> OK linux-dtb-next-mvebu64 5.85 --> OK but as there's no image between 5.75 and 5.84 I'll leave it that way for now (and I think you should revoke 5.84 as well!?)

OT: when the PSUs of my SheevaPlugs started to fail I "swore" myself not buy any other device from Globalscale in the future, but even though I did it again ...

OK, imaged Armbian_5.75_Espressobin_Debian_stretch_next_4.19.20.img to other SD and started from scratch --> OK Did apt-get update & upgrade which brought me back to 5.85 (5.84 image), but system hangs again after reboot So I think it's up to you now ;-)

booting from SD, too. Checked FS of the SD which is clean and dd'ed to another SD, but same issue

Just updated both my cubietruck and espressobin to 5.85, however the latter doesn't up come again after the update (from 5.83 IMO). (Had to get it out of the basement and) the console gives me the following error msg, now: Marvell>> boot starting USB...

Thx for the reply. That's odd, so the issue might be caused by the fact, that I'm not using an original Prolific, but cheap "China" clone cable!? I though this wouldn't cause an issue with Linux, as it does with Windows (with the latter I had to downgrade to a former Prolific driver to get it working, as the actual would detect the "fake".)
