Hello, I am new to this list and to Freedombox. I am doing some research on decentralizing and self hosting and have just started with freedombox.
I have searched the archives but maybe I have missed some threads so please excuse me if I repost something and let me know. I will start with installation as this is the stage I am in now. I have installed freedombox on an Olimex box, a Lime 2 rev C. This model is known to have an issue with the gigabit ethernet. When used in gigabit mode, the performances are terrible, you can barely connect via SSH... A workaround is to connect to a 100 mbs port or manually set the speed of eth to 100 mbs. The real solution though is to apply a patch to u-boot. I have just tried and can confirm that the latest image of freedombox on the Lime 2 rev C is barely answering pings. And I can also confirm that applying the patch solves it. There is a thread on the Olimex forums here: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=c8kfgtjnd6nkgc1tjnlh5jstp6&topic=4615.msg21467#msg21467 and a modified u-boot is available there as well: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwplT87k9SCgSmZEcEJWOUNKbzQ/view?usp=sharing I have tried both and only the mainline u-boot 2015.10-rc1 works in my case. Their solution is quite convenient as it allows to replace u-boot directly on a pre-installed sd card with dd. But you may want to look at the source and apply the patch yourself as well. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
