No matter what I do I can't get ethernet link up. I have tried three different distorts of *nix, including FreeBSD, Ambrian and Xenial with no luck. , three different cables, all known good and two working ethernet switches. What am I missing?
I have the same issue, no lights on the port at all
Same issue with support. I assume it is faulty so ordered another, will RMA this one for a refund if the second works.
Yup, Have done all this. I get the LED for the Sopine module but no network traffic and no Ethernet link light. Have used this build and other builds that people have reported work with Ethernet. The OS reports NO-Carrier and nothing brings up the ethernet. I have also tried three of the Sopine modules so I'm pretty confident it is the cluster board.
Same issue as I have possibly, I can see plenty of activity on the sopine modules, but no link or activity. Board is powered up fine and the OS is booting nicely.
Hold the fort! I just plugged in the patch cable AFTER the pine cluster board was powered on, with one fully booted Sopine module in place and the networking came to life! Still a bit of a problem as if that is a design decision it stinks, but at least I have a board to carry on test and development on!
Now I just need to figure out if this is deliberate, a design failure or a bug in just my board...
