  GbE: Optionally force master mode for RTL PHY
Posted by: xalius - 07-25-2016, 06:04 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (1)

A while back I stumbled over this patch for u-boot https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/602067/ forcing the RTL80211C/E PHY into master mode to overcome some issues when the PHY is in slave mode.

Maybe this could be a source for the random GbE problems we see here sometimes?

I was just looking at Olimex blog and read the specs for their A64 board, and one of the features reads:


Code:
...
* Ethernet Gigabit interface works just in master mode
...

I tried adding the register read-modify-write to the 3.10.x BSP driver but failed, maybe someone with better skills can have a look at it? The patch boils down to:


Code:
/* RTL8211x 1000BASE-T Control Register */
#define MIIM_RTL8211x_CTRL1000T_MSCE (1 << 12);
#define MIIM_RTL8211X_CTRL1000T_MASTER (1 << 11);

...

    unsigned int reg = phy_read(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MII_CTRL1000);
    /* force manual master/slave configuration */
    reg |= MIIM_RTL8211x_CTRL1000T_MSCE;
    /* force master mode */
    reg |= MIIM_RTL8211X_CTRL1000T_MASTER;
    phy_write(phydev, MDIO_DEVAD_NONE, MII_CTRL1000, reg);

...


One read-modify-write operation....


Star Pine64 1GB Auto POwer Off
Posted by: Mohit B - 07-25-2016, 03:08 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (1)

Hi,

I have downloaded the Phoenix Card image of the rooted android on 8 GB card. First boot was OK. I configured my WiFi, tested Bluetooth. I installed YouTube.

As soon as I fired up the YouTube app my screen went black. I rebooted by powering off and then on. While booting it said optimizing android.

Now every-time after 10 seconds of boot the board powers off automatically.

What should I do.

Regards,
MB

Quote:
  • Execute resize_rootfs.sh script to resize the root partition in order to fully utilize the SD Card

Well I have the Debian Jessie OS up and running but I am using a 32GB SD card that only sees according to the Disk Usage Analyzer only 7.5 GB.

I tried using the terminal to execute the script but I am not sure where in the file system it is located!?

  ssh into Pine64 running Android
Posted by: scarabus - 07-24-2016, 08:58 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (5)

I can easily ssh into my Pine64 running Ubuntu, but I'm going around in circles trying to figure out how to do it under Android. 
Is there a HOWTO anywhere?

I've got my PINE64 connected via HDMI to my receiver but its not passing through Dolby or DTS in either Plex or Netflix. Is this a possibility or was my hope misplaced?


  Upgrade Path Rooted Android
Posted by: User 4127 - 07-24-2016, 07:28 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (10)

Since OTA is only for non rooted, is there going to be a better way to upgrade rooted android without doing a fresh image install everytime?


  What will it take to get the Ethernet port working?
Posted by: clarkss12 - 07-24-2016, 06:58 PM - Forum: Ethernet Port - Replies (10)

As everyone knows, the gigabit Ethernet port does not work on the 2gig boards running Android and Remix OS.  I have the WiFi card, that came with my pledge, installed, and it is OK for browsing the internet but not for a serious media player device.

Who is in charge of getting this to work??  Is there anyone steering the ship?
