Should not be anything to be worried about. That just means the kernel module for the mentioned PHY is there but it lacks firmware binary. Though that board does not use that chip anyways AFAIK.
Hm I though there should be a menu entry called "hardware" to enable various overlays...
Since it is media kernel @balbes150d
Got an idea if overlays are missing or something? Thanks
Not sure if how far mainline is but some features will certainly be missing in comparison to Armbian.
Basically the Armbian build framework does the job for you. There you can also find the larch set armbian a puts on top of mainline and such things.
Bummer.
Providing logs with the procedure mentioned above is our point of start to take a look where the issue is. This script collects valuable data to continue investigation.
Regardless I highly recommend to pick up an USB UART adapter when you frequently play with SBCs since they are for once dirt cheap and for the other a tremendously helpful tool to debug issues and get an idea about what is going on "under the hood".
There isn't actually something like a "installation". The OS image written to the sd is ready to use. Only exception are a few scripts that run on first boot and then disable themselves like hw optimization or create non-privileged user with sudo permissions.
Well at least a sdcard with u boot is mandatory since this sbc does not feature any permanent storage on board iirc.
Not sure why pxe does not work but tbh unsure if that has every been tested either...
Hey fellows,
we have published some info about board maintainership. What to expect from Armbian and what Armbian expects from maintainers.
Check it out: https://docs.armbian.com/Board_Maintainers_Procedures_and_Guidelines/
Yeah that is one of the sections that are still missing and nobody took the challenge yet to make a write-up. However you can dig through old PRs that added support for a board to get an idea where things got added or adjusted.
Examples:
https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3628
https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3770
TV boxes which were used to be in "Clubs" have been migrated into forums. Topics in other clubs have been transferred into their respective forums as well.
Hi
Check your router interface. Armbian sets ethernet interface/s by default to DHCP.
Install openjdk
Does not matter. Both are GBe PHY. One is directly from the SoC. The other is connected internally via PCIe.
