reydecopas Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Hi everyone!! Any chance to know the estimated schedule for having Gb ethernet working in mainline kernel 4.x for this board? Greetings!!
zador.blood.stained Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Any chance to know the estimated schedule for having Gb ethernet working in mainline kernel 4.x for this board? Official schedule/status matrix is here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix Unofficially - if Ethernet support is missing in current Armbian dev configuration then it can be enabled using obsolete/discontinued sun8i-emac driver.
reydecopas Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 Thx!!! Can you point how to enable in current Armbian dev configuration the unofficial way?
zador.blood.stained Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Can you point how to enable in current Armbian dev configuration the unofficial way? It has to be a Device Tree patch similar to this: https://github.com/megous/linux/commit/631cdf7f080340357d1e68c4cf4461e3aa9ebac2 It may need to be edited based on the board schematics (if there are any differences i.e. with PHY powering)
reydecopas Posted February 23, 2017 Author Posted February 23, 2017 OK [sOLVED] It works following the guide https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/with kernel 4.10
