Hello Igor, Thanks for helping out this newbie to embedded Linux.
Indeed, setting the CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY to 3 for the pcDuino 3 makes the ethernet spring into life and function perfectly. I am sure others must have encountered this also, so I will learn how to make a patch properly and correctly and give it a good soak test and then push this fix back to the community.
The pcDuino 3 is turning out for my purposes to be a surprisingly capable little board, and the price has suddenly dropped substantially here in Australia making it very affordable and excellent value, especially with the onboard SATA which works just great.
Armbian on the pcDuino is so much superior to the poor system that is installed on the board at purchase that I am quite overwhelmed. Once more, thanks!
