Bug#864562: No ethernet link on Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro Rev. J, possibly PHY driver problem

2017-10-17 Thread Jean-Louis Mounier 

Hello Karsten,

There may be an issue : yesterday evening, I only started the 
installation, just enough to verify the communication between the 
installer and the repositories. I didn't complete the installation.


Maybe I should try a (minimalist) installation and verify that the 
network is still working when the system reboots !


Do you think it is necessary ?

Regards

Jean-Louis Mounier

I discovered a new installer release but the bug is still
present.

Now the test :

=> gpio clear PA17
gpio: pin PA17 (gpio 17) value is 0
=>run bootcmd

after that, the installer got IPV4 and IPV6 addresses wwith DHCP and then
ran fine.

Hope it helps

Yes, that helps as it confirms that a change in u-boot alone is
enough to work around the issue in Linux as well (although it is
debateable whether the kernel should rely on the bootloader in
this case or not).  There has recently been an attempt to address
the issue in mainline u-boot, but that didn't work out as planned
and the patch got rejected:

Bug#864562: Info received (Bug#864562: No ethernet link on Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro Rev. J, possibly PHY driver problem)

2017-07-24 Thread Jean-Louis MOUNIER 

Hello,

I've just read Olimex Blog and found the following text about my board 
(which is a J Release).


   /We are selling for some time already //A20-OLinuXino-MICRO
   
//Rev.J
   where few things were improved:/

   //

1. /We changed the LAN PHY from Realtek to Microchip as latter
   is more reliable supplier for both commercial and industrial
   temperature components, we searched desperately Realtek PHY
   in industrial temperature grade but without success./
2. /We extended the input working voltage from 6-16VDC to 8-24VDC/
3. /We changed the NAND Flash to eMMC (but old NAND style flash
   is still possible to assembly)/

   //

   /The Ethernet PHY change requires new patches on the Uboot and
   Linux images which are already uploaded./

Obviously, the Debian Installer Kernel needs a patch to run on my (very) 
new board. I don't have a lot of time neither skill level to investigate 
the patch myself but I'm ready to run any test fron my board as you need...


Thank you in advance

Bug#864562: No ethernet link on Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro Rev. J, possibly PHY driver problem

2017-06-22 Thread Jean-Louis MOUNIER 

Hello Karsten,

I installed Stretch on my A20 with the USB network interface.

After a successfull minimal installation (on the Micro SD card), I 
configured eth0 and rebooted the system. The result is the same : the 
PHY is unable to get an IP address with DHCP.


The problem witch 4.9.0-3-armmp-lpae is the same as with the installer 
kernel.


Small information :

root@hendrix:~# dmesg |grep eth0
[   10.040210] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: fail to init PTP.
[   10.045905] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[   12.117354] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 
100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

[   12.117405] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

I think I'll have to wait for a new kernel release...

Hope it helps

2017-06-16 Thread Jean-Louis MOUNIER 

Hello Karsten,

thank you for all your informations about A20 specifications. I will 
test them ASAP ! I guessI will spend time on uboot...


However, I have a new information about Jessie on my A20-Olinuxino 
Micro. Yesterday night, I installed Jessie on my board using my 
USB-Ethernet interface. Two informations.


I first used a 128M micro SD, with no speed indication. The (small) size 
would have been enought for the installer but I could not boot the 
installer, probably because the card is too slow. I attempted another 
install with a Class10 8G Micro SD and then it ran fine. I don't know if 
it is really a bug.


Second and more important regarding #864562 : after reboot, the board 
network interface is still unable to connect to the switch. This means 
that the issue is probably in the kernel, even in Jessie kernel.


Hope it helps

Regards

Bug#669052: Bug 669052 : Re: [regression 3.2.12 - 3.2.14] r8169 driver not automatically loaded (Re: Bug...)

2012-04-25 Thread Jean-Louis MOUNIER 

Hello Jonathan,

sorry for my last subject line...I wrote it from my office and I should 
have think to include at least the bug number in the subject...


modprobe r8169 :

I should have think to do this obvious test ! :-!

It works !
The sequence :

modprobe r8169
ifup eth0

made my server fully functionnal.
Then I added r8169 to /etc/modules  as a workaroud and  the server 
runs fine.


My system is ok now but can we consider the bug as solved ? You will 
give the answer to the question...

If you need, I will run further tests on my machine.

Thank you for your help

regards
Jean-Louis

2012-04-25 Thread Jean-Louis MOUNIER 
Following your instructions, I did install linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64 
version 3.2.12-1 (after commenting the r8169 line in /etc/modules).


uname -a gives :
Linux morisson 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 20 20:45:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

(just for verification)

The system comes faulty : the on board Realtek card is not detected at 
boot but starts with modprobe 8169;ifup eth0.

Bug#669052: linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64: NIC RTL-8169 not loaded with last testing release

2012-04-16 Thread Jean-Louis Mounier 
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.14-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

on Apr, 15, as I do almost every day, I did upgrade my testing release. The
kernel 3.2.0-2-amd64 upgraded from 3.2.12-1 to 3.2.14-1.
After reboot, my eth0 NIC is no longer detected.
I installed firmware-realtec : same.
As a workaround, I boot on an old 3.2.0.1 which was still present.
The unstable version gives the same result.
My NIC is detected in other system information :

Seems to be in relation with Realtec NIC driver...

Thank you in advance
regards
