Bug#947449: networking on Olimex Lime2 (Allwinner A20)

So I tried to build u-boot myself with the CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY=3 directive, and I also tried to blindly copy the SPI+bootloader from an Armbian image (in which the networking works properly), but in neither case networking works (the other aspects are fine, the system boots without problems, so I assume I did not break anything myself). So I guess the issue lies elsewhere than in u-boot (perhaps the kernel?). Marek
Bug#947449: installation-report: No networking on Olimex Lime2 (Allwinner A20)
Hello, Samuel Thibault kirjoitti 27.12.2019 klo 9.42: > Possible the board needs some non-free firmware? > Did you try to install firmware-linux-free? Yes, firmware-linux-free was apparently installed during the base install. > Also, please post how the network board is detected (e.g. the complete > dmesg output). See dmesg_install.out for the dmesg output obtained at the end of installation and dmesg_postinstall.out for the output of dmesg in the installed system. It seems the system does not attempt to bring eth0 up during the boot; the following lines appear only after manually running ip link set eth0 up (with ethernet cable connected): [ 671.988940] Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY stmmac-0:01: attached PHY driver [Micrel KSZ9031 Gigabit PHY] (mii_bus:phy_addr=stmmac-0:01, irq=POLL) [ 671.992969] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: No Safety Features support found [ 671.992989] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: RX IPC Checksum Offload disabled [ 671.993003] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: No MAC Management Counters available [ 671.993013] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: PTP not supported by HW [ 671.993972] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 674.023384] sun7i-dwmac 1c5.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx [ 674.023444] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready Then I get the Link is down / up messages correctly after the cable is disconnected / connected, but the network does not work nevertheless (dhclient does not get any response; I didn't try wireshark on the other end of the cable with the installed system, but I assume it's the same as with the installer).

Bug#947458: installation-report: No bootloader install on A64-OLinuXino/sid
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I installed a daily build onto A64-OLinuXino; contrary to the stable release (10.2), the networking worked without problems and the installation went fine almost until the end. However, the installer apparently didn't event try to install any bootloader. -- Package-specific info: Package: installation-reports Boot method: SD-card (netinst) Image version: Concatenated image https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/20191226-02:07/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.a64-olinuxino.img.gz https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/20191226-02:07/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz Date: 27.12.2019 Machine: A64-OLinuXino Rev.

The installer apparently didn't even try to install a bootloader. After installing the base system and tasks, I just got a message as on the attached screenshot. When I try to go back and select an installation step, Continue without bootloader was the only related option.

Bug#947449: installation-report: No networking on Olimex Lime2 (Allwinner A20)
Package: installation-reports Version: 2.71 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I tried installing debian 10.2 on an Olimex Lime 2 device (Alwinner A20 armhf). Although the ethernet interface was detected, the networking did not work at all – the DHCP network setup failed, so I tried to connect it to a PC and look at the ethernet communication with wireshark, and it seems that no ethernet packets ever leave the device. The same problem persists after installation and boot – the eth0 interface shows up, ethernet connect/disconnect events show up in dmesg, but the networking does not work in reality. I have tried the install also with another A20 device (Lamobo R1) and I had exactly the same problem (none of the 5 detected interfaces worked). Same issue also with the daily builds, so I guess this will be a more general problem related to A20. The networking works fine with Armbian (I tried the image from https://dl.armbian.com/lime2/archive/Armbian_19.11.3_Lime2_buster_current_5.3.9.7z ), but I would prefer vanilla debian.
