Armbian 23.8 Bookworm eth0 missing

[Fazik83]

Hi guys.

I installed Armbian 23.8 Bookworm on mmc and I have not eth0 interface. WiFi works.

Could you help me?

[Werner]

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

Ethertnet port works on older image.

The interface name is end0

Use udev rules to rename to eth0 if you want.

[Fazik83]

But I have not internet access via eth (end0)

I see. Something is fishy. No instant solution. You can try to revert to an older kernel using armbian-config for now.

Btw. you are sure you have the OPi3 without LTS? Because the LTS variants differs hardware-wise and that is why there are separate images for it.

[Fazik83]

I always download image from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-3/#kernels-archive-all

 

I have not LTS. So, which image you prefer for me? Link?

[Werner]

The link you followed is just fine.

As stated you could try to use an older kernel (like 5.15.y) or try edge branch which follows 6.x.y, not sure if 6.5 already but 6.4.y I think

And check if this makes a difference. It is easier to investigate if known that it works properly on other firmware.

[Gunjan Gupta]

@Fazik83Its hard to tell why ethernet is not detected without seeing logs. Please upload logs by running `armbianmmonitor -u` as already mentioned by Werner above

[Gunjan Gupta]

@Fazik83 Does this happen only on warm reboot or on cold boot(removing power and plugging back in) as well?

 

Also could you please try the image from the below link and check if it works better. Make sure to check after reboot as well.

hello, I also had this problem which I just solved by reinstalling the version:

 

Armbian_23.02.2_Orangepi3_bullseye_current_5.15.93.img.xz

 

Once you have rebooted on your OPI3, followed the startup script and done the first

 

# apt update

 

please run the armbian-config script and freeze the firmware upgrade.

 

If in doubt you can use the

 

# apt-mark hold [PACKAGENAME]

 

command.

[Fazik83]

Actually I have  Armbian 23.02.2 Bullseye with Linux 5.15.93-sunxi64

If I find some free time today, I'll try install image from Gunjan Gupta

Still doesn't work.

Thanks for reporting back. I am going to rework it this week. Will let you know once I have an image ready for testing.

[Gunjan Gupta]

@Fazik83I have made few changes and have uploaded new Images here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Pq7iYzIBPhPPACGxDqan0obbl8wNVY8t?usp=sharing

 

Could you please test the same and let me know if it works?

 

PS: The image has console set to serial, so there might be no login prompt on hdmi. If you need to use hdmi, set console=both in boot/armbianEnv.txt file.

Hello! I tested it, but it doesnt work on my orange pi 3 (not LTS). I tried apt update and upgrade, but dont luck.

I can give diagnostic information if you tell me the commands.

Its ok. I am already aware that the image was broken. It was already tried by someone else from the community. I will try to fix it later, dealing with some personal stuff right now.

Is there a solution to this problem? thx

@Aleksey GavrikovWe were not able to fix this before we made 23.11 release. We have now fixed the issue and the PR is merged. Fix will be available in beta apt repository first (beta.armbian.com) and will be included in next release. As the fix is in bootloader, once new linux-u-boot-* package is provided via apt, Bootloader has to be reflashed on the system (See https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-update-u-boot). Ethernet should start working after reboot.

[Денис Кузнецов]

I'm has been update to Armbian 24.2.1 and update u-boot but no difference in ethernet driver behavior. Any idea to fix it?

[Hannes]

I do ran into the same problem today with my rock-3a running
    Armbian 24.2.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.16-current-rockchip64

It occurred after re-boot of the system because of the banner the message "Please reboot system do to kernel-updated" appeared. After that ethernet (was named "end0") did not come up anymore. When activating using "nmtui" the message comes:
"Activation failed. Device could not be prepared for activation ..." (freely translated from German language).

journalctl -x gives the following:
(armbian-monitor -u already performed)

After all I updated the bootloader (using armbian-config) and it luckily resolved the problem ...

Thx for reading this. Hope it helps others ...

Problem solved

I had the same problem with Eth0 missing, I had to connect via TTL-UART-dongle to assign the interface to new system. And it was end0 also. After that i got problems with high Soft-IRQ loads on my CPU(Nanopi M4V2 with OMV+docker+transmission with 1 SATA disk. See images attached, before and after upgrading). There is definitely something wrong with this release.

Guys who still didn't upgrade to Bookworm, could you pls send me results of "ethtool -k end0" command to compare TCP segmentation offload settings on NanoPi M4V2 ?
See https://balodeamit.blogspot.com/2013/10/tcp-segmentation-offloading.html for additional info

I've installed Armbian minimal version based on Debian Bookworm (image Armbian_community_24.8.0-trunk.495_Bananapi_bookworm_current_6.6.36_minimal.img.xz) on my Banana Pi M1.

Installation went well but I can't set up static ip address in armbian config. Anytime I run armbian-config and try to set static address it hangs for a while and exits with no error code. So, I set up static ip address mapping on my router.

 

After installation I runned apt update and apt upgrade.

 

I've noticed that there is no eth0 interface but end0.

Dmesg says that interface was renamed.

root@bananapi:/usr/local/bin# dmesg | grep end0
[    3.327770] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet end0: renamed from eth0

[   14.547226] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

 

I'm not sure if interface name causes problem with setting up static address in armbian-config.

 

Now I'm trying to rename end0 interface to eth0.
