MKS PI ethernet not working?

[stanelie]

Hello.

 

I have not been able to make the ethernet port working on a MKS Pi board with the latest armbian image found here : https://www.armbian.com/mks-pi/

I don't even get a link led ON on the ethernet connector when connected. 

 

Can anyone offer guidance?

 

Thanks!

 

P.S. I could not find a MKS-PI tag in the tag menu to identify this thread correctly.  Can anyone fix this?

Hello and thank you for sharing your experience.

 

https://github.com/redrathnure is the maintainer of your board.  Not sure if he is active here in the forum.

Yup, I opened a bug report about this on his github, I have yet to receive an answer.

 

I'm having trouble figuring out if it's a hardware issue or a software issue, since I don't have a second bug to test at the same time.

 

When I try the Makerbase OS on this same board, I don't have connectivity either, but at least, the link led turns on and off with the cable connect/disconnect.
