OK, got it to work. Compiled directly from ayufan's mainline repo. Copied the vmlinux to Image (in boot), used dracut to make the initrd image (in /boot) and copied the new kernel rock64 dtb to /boot. It really helped to have the serial console when getting this going.
Hello together,
what are the correct exports for cross-compiling RK3328 mainline kernel?
Are this correct:
Code:
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
Thank you very much

It is not just a slow down, Ethernet is unusable at 1 Gbit/s speed in the mainline kernel.
I did not try the newest kernels (4.15-rc).

Do you know that you can work around it by using ethtool?
ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off
The rx is not really needed but can't hurt anyway.
another trick might be to set the mtu size to something smaller than 1500 like 1492.
Both worked for me.
Cheers

Unfortunately this does not work for me.

Would you please be so kind and show your results?
i would tend to think you would want to raise mtu for the GbE and not lower it. i mean why send a smaller payload? i have not had to tweak my ethernet because i don't have a fast connection so i have no advice to give but it just seems incrrect to lower mtu. maybe 15 years ago but with GbE also?
Quote:This is pretty serious issue with the NIC. Are there any Linux builds that don\t have this issue? 0.69 or until the Kernel gets fixed up, this is an issue for all users? Hopefully a workaround can be sorted out.
The issue we are talking about occurs with
mainline kernel only.
Almost all linux distros for Rock64 come with kernel based on Rockchip sources - no issues there, GbE works fine (sometimes tweaking required).
Users of those distros are not affected in any way.

I've tried many different values of mtu (up to max allowed by hardware 3582). None of these worked.
