I'm using BBB A5A hardware. I just built a card with the Debian 8 (Small Flash) kernel using the instructions at https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black. (With the following exception: Instead of sudo cp -v ./ti-linux-kernel-dev/deploy/${kernel_version}.zImage /media/ rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-${kernel_version} I used sudo cp -v ./bb-kernel/deploy/${kernel_version}.zImage /media/rootfs/boot/ vmlinuz-${kernel_version} since ti-linux-kernel-dev directory didn't exist. All instances of ti-linux-kernel-dev were substituted.)
It boots fine but the ethernet connection refuses connection. Using the serial debug connection, I can ping from the BBB. I also get the the following: root@arm:~# dmesg | grep -i phy [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ 2.805706] 47401300.usb-phy supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator [ 2.808594] 47401b00.usb-phy supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator [ 3.372555] davinci_mdio 4a101000.mdio: detected phy mask fffffffe [ 3.372825] davinci_mdio: dt: updated phy_id[0] from phy_mask[fffffffe] [ 3.372849] davinci_mdio: dt: updated phy_id[1] from phy_mask[fffffffe] [ 3.373837] libphy: 4a101000.mdio: probed [ 3.373858] davinci_mdio 4a101000.mdio: phy[0]: device 4a101000.mdio:00, driver SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 [ 6.399080] net eth0: phy found : id is : 0x7c0f1 [ 6.399150] libphy: PHY 4a101000.mdio:01 not found [ 6.404248] net eth0: phy 4a101000.mdio:01 not found on slave 1 I seen mention of the *0003-cpsw-search-for-phy.patch *here but I think thats already applied.
