ambiamber Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Hello to you! I was using Arch Linux ARM on my Clearfog Pro for years. Then things got bad. I think it's a bad combination to have a distro with the most up-to-date software while developers are rapidly abandoning and not testing 32-bit Linux software. First wget became incompatible with gnutls and then programs in coreutils that use utmp started malfunctioning. The last straw was the system became unbootable, issuing a message about ext4 "ext4fs_devread read outside partition 18446744073709551440". I switched to Armbian but now I'm at a loss as to how to configure DSA on the Clearfog Pro. I installed the mv88e6xxx but the LAN ports on the DSA switch did not come to life. sudo modprobe mv88e6xxx Module Size Used by +mv88e6xxx 139264 0 +dsa_core 61440 1 mv88e6xxx +hsr 28672 1 dsa_core +bridge 163840 2 mv88e6xxx,dsa_core +stp 16384 1 bridge +llc 16384 2 bridge,stp rfkill 20480 1 lz4hc 16384 0 lz4 16384 0 $ networkctl -a WARNING: systemd-networkd is not running, output will be incomplete.

Heisath Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Yeah you need to UP eth1. You can even see this in your Arch listing, the lan ports are @eth1. Vs in your armbian listing eth1 is down so the dsa is unreachable. Example ip config via /etc/network/interfaces: # Loopback auto lo iface lo inet loopback # eth0 wan allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet manual # eth1 switch dsa port auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual # eth2 sfp port allow-hotplug eth2 iface eth2 inet manual # lan ports (dsa) auto lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4 lan5 lan6 iface lan1 inet manual iface lan2 inet manual iface lan3 inet manual iface lan4 inet manual iface lan5 inet manual iface lan6 inet manual # bridge for local ports auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge_ports eth2 lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4 lan5 lan6 address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.2 dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 Clean armbian images are using network manager and should have working switched lan ports ootb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambiamber Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Thanks but the answer turned out to be that I was using u-boot-clearfog-base-mmc.kwb But the DSA switch requires u-boot-clearfog-pro-mmc.kwb U-Boot 2013.01-g1e88e63-dirty (Jul 20 2016 - 21:38:48) Marvell version: 2015_T1.0p11 I have to admit that eth1 is up now but I didn't do anything to bring it up. $ ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1024 link/ether 02:b3:7f:ac:38:c4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.10.10/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0 valid_lft 29704sec preferred_lft 29704sec inet6 fdee:207b:f0ce::6ba/128 scope global dynamic noprefixroute valid_lft 28424sec preferred_lft 28424sec inet6 fdee:207b:f0ce:0:7b29:63c:40fc:4405/64 scope global noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::e1d8:2674:2151:93fc/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1508 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1024 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::107b:c0f4:532e:9166/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1024 link/ether 00:50:43:0d:19:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: lan5@eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 6: lan4@eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 7: lan3@eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 8: lan2@eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 9: lan1@eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 10: lan6@eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:50:43:84:25:2f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::a2ae:94e4:ccf5:6673/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever $ cat /etc/network/interfaces source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* # Network is managed by Network manager auto lo iface lo inet loopback $ ls /etc/network/interfaces.d $ (nothing) Edited October 2, 2022 by ambiamber markdown 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisath Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Great - btw. why are you using this old uboot? Current armbian has uboot 2018 and linux kernel 5.15 where all this stuff works ootb.
