Does anyone happen to know if the 3.8 kernel compiled as per these instructions here http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black also contains the fix? I have a root file system already that I want to use but would like to update my kernel to fix this problem. Thanks. On Tuesday,

fwiw, I'm seeing what *appears* to be this same issue on the latest board I've bought - occasionally there is no Ethernet connectivity on power-up, a physical power off/on always resolves it... This is a rev B board, running the latest Debian test image with beta 3.13 kernel, and has happened

Hi, Gerald: Try removing C24. See if that helps. We saw the same problem. After removing C24 and C30 it seems to be solved! Our board is revision B. Robert -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Correct. You can also solve the issue by using the correct SW as well. The issue is that the processors interferes with the default address settings when the PHY reads the pins. If the SW looks for the other addresses, it works fine. Also, removing these caps will also create issues where the

The base address of the PHY. Only one address per PHY. I believe it is 0 to 7. It is my understanding that the fix was pushed up a week ago. Robert's image should handle this. It is not the MAC address. PHY NOT FOUND means that at the one address of 00 the PHY did not respond because the PHY has

I know what I have seen. I know what I have replicated. And I know the SW fix takes care of it. I also know it does not happen on every board and doe snot happen every time. Do keep in mind that the board reset is not a HW reset. It is a SW reset. The fix is in the latest image from Robert.

Does the C24 value change in revision A6A suppose to fix this problem? I still got this issue on my two BBB A6A. Do we need to increase C24 further, or have it removed completely since U16 is added? On Saturday, December 7, 2013 11:50:06 AM UTC-8, Gerald wrote: Try removing C24. See if that

From some earlier correspondence with Gerald @ BeagleBoard: Rev A6 was not changed to fix this issue. It has a reset fix, but not for this. Whatever change I come up with will not show up for months. I don't know what the version will be. It is not clear how the Rev A6 revision will affect this

Hi All, After removing C24 and C30 (next to the large unpopulated 20-pin header P2 on the bottom of the board) we ran 1000 power cycles and had a 100% success rate - i.e. board booted and phy detected every time. We used a programmable power supply and some scripts processing the uart output
