Green PHY ethernet module - drivers load but no IP gets assigned?

[JCOneTwoThree]

I have a carrier board from codico: https://www.codico.com/en/carrier-board-h-home-control-evb-for-red-yellow-beet-modul

 

I've followed the pdf file from the above link to set up a Rasperry Pi and it all works fine.

 

However, when swapping for my NanoPi Neo Core, even though the drivers load correctly, and I see SPI comms going back and forth on the oscilloscope, I am not connected to the internet.

 

This is what ifconfig returns:

 

 

What could be the difference between rpi and this board that this happens?

 

Any guidance on how to resolve it would be deeply appreciated!
