14:51 <chewitt> xdarklight: any suggestions? ^

14:52 <chewitt> the last image that gavlee tested has https://github.com/chewitt/linux/commit/2f8c8c6b3dce0b105295f8caaa1faefa8e5c4a3f

14:59 <gavlee> i decompiled the dtb and I don't see that... maybe I test wrong??

15:00 <gavlee> or got files mixed up..

15:02 <gavlee> having some lunch now but I will download and test again

15:16 <chewitt> [ 6.759014] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/rgmii-id link mode

15:16 <chewitt> ^ that was in the most recent dmesg you shared

15:16 <chewitt> and I only built one image with that change included, so you've run the right thing

15:30 <gavlee> think i am missing some messages so have checked the log. network cable keeps coming out where I plug the sd reader . never run dtc to make a dts so tried it but would help if i get the right file next time. will try this on another device i have

16:09 <gavlee> from reading back if I need functionality from linux-5.8 I have to have more patience :) Will be around if not here and will check the logs ping me if need any more testing will be happy to test for the air or any le images

16:15 <gavlee> and thanks a lot, really!!!

16:17 <gavlee> I couldn't get anything else to boot..

17:13 <xdarklight> gavlee: chewitt: "2ns RX delay was already enabled (by pin-strapping RXD0 or bootloader configuration)" sounds good. if Ethernet is still not working, please try forcing the speed to 100Mbit/s using for example: ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

18:53 <gavlee> cool will try in a bit thanks for that

19:05 <gavlee> haha!!! yess!!!!

19:05 <gavlee> thanks!!!

19:07 <gavlee> one thing i notice the mac printed on the box is not the mac in ifconfig but i'm getting an address on the lan now

19:07 <gavlee> i didnt' realise there was a label on it

19:07 <gavlee> i guess that's for wifi? or the lan?

19:08 <gavlee> don't know what i'm talking about just happy :D

19:11 <xdarklight> gavlee: OK, you just confirmed that it's an issue with the RGMII RX or TX delay - those are not relevant when running at 10 or 100Mbit/s line speeds

19:11 <xdarklight> gavlee: next is to find out why Gbit/s speeds are not working for you

19:13 <xdarklight> chewitt: I'm seeing that you commented eee-broken-1000t; in &external_phy. my suggestion: add back the reset properties within the PHY node and also enable eee-broken-1000t;

19:14 <chewitt> k

19:14 <chewitt> will respin

19:14 <gavlee> well anything I can do, may take me a while to figure out what you're talking about and do it :)

19:15 <chewitt> gavlee: the MAC is computed from the cpu serial in LE so that it's consistent .. not all boxes have it set in the factory

19:15 <xdarklight> gavlee: right now we're narrowing down the issue. we started at "anything could be wrong" but now we're at "I think it's related to A or B". I call it progress :-)

19:16 <xdarklight> chewitt: please give me another minute so you can include one more debug patch

19:16 <xdarklight> chewitt: https://pastebin.com/PRhNP8tx

19:17 <xdarklight> that'll allow us to see the MAC side RX/TX delay configuration

19:19 <gavlee> :D

19:19 <xdarklight> chewitt: you may also throw in the dwmac-meson8b patches which are queued for v5.8 - if the RX delay is enabled on the MAC side those patches will fix that ;)

19:21 <chewitt> I picked all those patches, those are included

19:21 <xdarklight> ah, interesting

19:22 <xdarklight> let's see what the next iteration gives :-)

19:24 <chewitt> gavlee https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/9.80/LibreELEC-AMLG12.arm-9.80.0-box.img.gz

19:24 <chewitt> rinse/repeat

19:25 <gavlee> thx. downloading. off to have a munch meanwhile

19:28 <xdarklight> chewitt: next year my CPU will be five years old which means time to upgrade. I'll still be jealous of your AMD TR - but I'm hoping that a Ryzen 9 will fit my budget (which will then triple the core count of my current CPU) :)

19:32 <chewitt> i'm trying to find a work related excuse to bump to a 3990X but haven't come up with anything convincing yet :)

20:07 <gavlee> latest dmesg http://ix.io/2o80

20:09 <gavlee> chewitt: xdarklight ^^

20:11 <xdarklight> gavlee: OK, that means with the configuration from u-boot TX-delay is enabled on the MAC side but the RX delay is disabled at the MAC side

20:12 <xdarklight> gavlee: what happens at Gbit/s line speed now?

20:12 <chewitt> interesting .. the BT stuff didn't complain about config bad magic this time

20:12 <chewitt> xdarklight, I was going to ask you about that

20:13 <gavlee> i had to reboot and run the ethtool command to get ip address, didn't see one

20:13 <gavlee> and i forgot to add the bluetooth firmware. sorry

20:13 <gavlee> can add with it and post again?

20:14 <gavlee> oh.. it's there anyway.. dun nevermind

20:27 <gavlee> i put that ethtool command in libreelec autostart.sh and in the gui now

20:44 <xdarklight> hmm, I'm not sure what's next if Gbit/s speed is still not working

20:45 <xdarklight> can you double-check the Ethernet cable and switch port?

20:45 <gavlee> oh, yeah, this was plugged into a pi3b..

20:45 <gavlee> :S

20:47 <gavlee> i need to untangle a rats nest need a while ...

20:48 <gavlee> got distracted playing around in LE :)

20:49 <gavlee> gui is snappy remote seems ok

22:57 <gavlee> found a decent cable and connected directly to gigabit port where I have iperf , seeing dhcp requests and offers but no ip. maybe i fudged the autostart.sh
