03:31 <chewitt> erm67: what kernel is in the Armbian image you're trying to use?

03:32 <chewitt> ahh.. 5.5

03:34 <chewitt> https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/box/LibreELEC-AMLG12.arm-9.80.0-box.img.gz has a device-tree for "a95xf3-air" which might work

03:34 <chewitt> (wifi/bt will be missing .. but we care about Ethernet first)

07:33 <erm67> chewitt: I compiled kernel 5.5.2 in the mean time with defconfig, and grabbed the wifi drivers from the emmc, only spdif and eth need fixing now :-)

07:36 <erm67> chewitt: the dtb for the a95xf3-air does the same as the x96-max+ modified as suggested here, the external phy is configured but doesn't work. I think the rtl8211F is used only as a phy tho handle layer 1, and that is exactly what is not working: there is no carrier

08:50 <chewitt> erm67: have a look at https://github.com/chewitt/linux/blob/linux-5.1-amlg12/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12a-x96-max-rmii.dts#L174-L189

08:52 <chewitt> this was reported working on some g12a devices with 'other' ethernet configurations

08:55 <repk> this one seems weird to me

09:01 <chewitt> it's probably incorrect but might provoke something into working

09:01 <chewitt> this was done in Linux 5.1 which pre-dates some of the ethernet plumbing refinements that @xdarklight made semi-recently

10:36 <chewitt> repk: is gxlimg supporting g12a/b and sm1 devices now?

12:41 <erm67> chewitt: arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-g12-common.dtsi:178.29-199.5: ERROR (phandle_references): /soc/ethernet@ff3f0000: Reference to non-existent node or label "eth_rmii_pins"

12:50 <chewitt> is it a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 device?

12:50 <chewitt> the error is prob. due to the changes I mentioned .. it's from an older kernel

13:06 <erm67> nevermind it worked

13:06 <erm67> so well I changed it a bit

13:07 <erm67> [ 14.017619] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx

13:07 <erm67> yesss

13:17 <erm67> the link is up, ethtool eth0 works and returns the corerct info but ping doesn't work, well the situation improved a bit

13:19 <chewitt> can you pastebin the dts changes you made?

13:25 <erm67> I try another thing first, wait

13:42 <erm67> chewitt: http://sprunge.us/kt1p4E

13:43 <erm67> nope my other idea didn't worked

13:43 <erm67> meson-g12a-pinctrl ff634400.bus:pinctrl@40: pin GPIOZ_2 already requested by ff3f0000.ethernet; cannot claim for ff661000.audio-controller

13:43 <erm67> maybe this is the problem

13:48 <chewitt> &ethmac {

13:48 <chewitt> status = "okay";

13:48 <chewitt> phy-handle = <&internal_ephy>;

13:48 <chewitt> phy-mode = "rmii";

13:48 <chewitt> };

13:48 <chewitt> this is in the sei510 dts

13:49 <chewitt> sei510 is g12a and sm1 is a minor evolution of g12a

13:50 <chewitt> hmm.. ignore, this is the same as the original sei610 config

13:50 <chewitt> what vendor is this box from?

13:51 <chewitt> wondering if it's anyone I know who might give up schematics :)

13:51 <chewitt> the GPIO config might be in the 4.9 bsp dts

13:55 <chewitt> have a look at https://github.com/chewitt/linux/blob/amlogic-5.5-integ/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-gxbb-kii-pro.dts

13:57 <chewitt> GPIOZ_14 seems to be common across many Amlogic devices

14:02 <erm67> chewitt: I need to include amlogic/meson-sm1.dtsi otherwise usb is not working

14:16 <repk> chewitt: I don't think so. Those use amlogic boot v2 right ?

14:21 <erm67> the labels on the pcb say x88pro

15:54 <erm67> chewitt: it senses the carrier also using meson-g12a-x96-max.dtb, I only need to use interrupt 6 instead of 26

16:41 <ldevulder> narmstrong, hi, I just saw a small error on the linux-meson.com page: "OpenSUSE Tumbletweed" should be wrote "openSUSE Tumbleweed", no "t" in the name and the "o" should be lower case ;-)
