Clusterboard not getting IP address after network fix
#1
So I followed this guide: [color=var(--newCommunityTheme-linkText)]https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10432 and applied the network fix to the Armbian image and wrote it to the SD card for one of the modules.[/color]
I tried booting it up afterwards (with only one module plugged in), and it's still not getting a DHCP lease from my router. Is this fix still appropriate? Do I need to change something else or define my DHCP information in advanced?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm, yes should still work. I tried it a few weeks ago last if I recall correctly.

So you literally just added this line: allwinner,tx-delay-ps = <500>;
 To the file mentioned, plugged it in and it got an IP address from your router no problem?

After compiling the file back as explained in the tutorial, yes.

Hi! I have the same issue as @Nolark : I applied the dtb fix on the last armbian image (Armbian 21.05.1 stable) and I cannot get the ethernet to work (dhcp).
Also, it looks like the wifi interface is not working anymore (armbian config does not detect any wireless connectivity in armbian-config).

Did anyone manage to use network interfaces on the last version of armbian?

Hmm, ok so maybe an issue that only happens with the latest Armbian images? I guess one should be able to get an older image and then upgrade it?

Do you remember which version worked for you when you tried it?

For me, a couple other people over the last few weeks, and I know for JF002 also from that chat, the 5.9 kernel version of Armbian seems to work fine... I used the latest of them, Armbian_20.11.3 (ubuntu focal variant), and froze the kernel and firmware versions (an option in 'armbian-config') so that until I find out a fix, or find/hear of a later version working it won't update and break on me.

Yes, I confirm that Armbian 20.11.3 (with kernel 5.9.14) works fine out of the box. I'm not sure what's wrong with newer version (kernel, DTB, config,...) but I hope someone will be able to fix that in the near future Smile

As an update, I tried with Armbian 20.11.3 (focal) and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!
