ethernet does not work with Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160711 (Known Problem)

[mathiraj]

I'm using Android 5.1.1 Image Release 20160711 [v1.2.6]

I had to burn this image with the PhoenixCard software on windows (as burning with 'dd' command on linux did not work)

I have a problem. The Ethernet does not obtain an IP address from the router. I know that my router works fine and other devices connected to it via ethernet function properly.

Pine64 tries to obtain IP Address for some time and then returns with '0.0.0.0' (Please see the screenshots in the attachment)
       

Does anyone know how to fix this? Appreciate any help.

I did not get the 'script not found' error. I used the correct phoenix image. Hence was able to burn the image correctly on the sd card and boot pine64 board with it.

I placed another router/switch between pine64 and my modem and now the board acquired network connection and started working. Wonder why pine64 doesn't get ip address from my modem directly.

There are more posts similar to the network problem i've reported (ethernet not getting ip address from dhcp when connected to my modem)

The switch you put I  between... Is that by any chance a 100mbit model as opposed to your modem doing 1Gb?
If so you probably impacted by the GbE issue described in the sticky topics here http://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=39

I think it is a 100mbit switch. Hope this GbE issue gets fixed soon. I'll wait for the fix.

I'm afraid there will be no fix. The boards we have are broken. With the production line still producing broken boards.

We will release an Android 5.1.1 build with GbE fix tonight (Oct 25, PST). The GbE issue is the network packet loss issue and need to finetune the TX/RX delay value.
