Does it find the network interface? Log in using the serial console
and
type "ip a".
ifconfig -a shows lo (with IP) and eth0 (without IP).
# ip a
-bash: ip: command not found
Perhaps this is the problem, I thought distros went from ifconfig to
ip
many years ago.
And now I must be seeing things because it's working now, although I
tried several times before posting yesterday. Networking is working
as
expected, even with a fixed MAC address (blast android). I saw the
same
problem on an RPi with oS 13.2 and I could ping briefly after forcing
an address so it's not the cable.
I found the problem with the terminal not opening most of the time
(device busy) after plugging in the USB/serial cable. Modem manager
must
be told to go away. I asked the MM devs a while ago about this
problem
and they said they can't change it because some modems look like this
and have to be probed. Add ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" to udev
rules
for this USB device (on the USB end, not the cubie side).
As for releases, whoever feels responsible for a certain platform
can /
does test it. If you'd like to take over that role for Cubieboard,
I'm
sure people would be very happy about it :).
13.2 still doesn't boot, factory has the boot problem fixed. I only
have
one board which I'm trying to use as a server to replace a
power-hungry
old PC, so factory isn't so good. Would the 13.2 repos work with the
factory image? Happy to do some testing, though I suspect buying
another
PC Engines APU1 (makes a splendid firewall) would be far faster...
;-)
Anyone can make cheap ARM systems but timely security updates are
another matter. The board's been bottom drawered for 2 years because
cubie's images didn't inspire me.
Yeah, we fixed all bugs in factory, use that. I have a cubieboard2
(same as you except for the dual-core CPU) and is running factory just
fine:
