Thanks for given it go, at least some progress was made. Looking elsewhere for hints re: cubietruck network problems didn't show anything obvious. But I belatedly realised that the current version of Triode's cubietruck installer tries to download firmware for the inbuilt bluetooth/wifi combo chip ( ap620 ?) from what is now a non-existant source. However the ethernet module ought to be loaded and must at least have worked initally. If stuff is dropping off your network, is it possible you have a switch/router problem (dhcp leases or something ?).
Without a cubietruck to work on, I'm in the dark. Here are couple of threads over at "Arch Linux Arm" which show just how things can change: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8218&start=10 http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8665 I didn't realsie until today that "Arch Arm Linux" had listed the Cubietruck as one of thier supported ArmV7 platforms : http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/allwinner/cubietruck If you fell like a repeat, you could follow the instructions on that page to create a basic Arch SD card image, which should a least allow you to test your cubietruck ethernet. Not too many steps, and you can just cut & paste them into a linux command line. I supose it's possilbe to take some of Triode's installer script to get his work installed on top of that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
