Hello,
Recently we received latest revision eval kit of iot-gate-imx8 and are unable to get eth0 to work. eth0 led keeps going on/off and is not able to exchange packets. eth1 works fine. Eth0 was not an issue with earlier rev boards and BalenaOS.
Please note, eth0 works just fine on base os shipped from Compulab. The issue only happens after running balenaOS.
Please let me know if you need additional info.
`
root@xxxx:~# cat /etc/os-release
ID=“balena-os”
NAME=“balenaOS”
VERSION=“2.85.2+rev1”
VERSION_ID=“2.85.2+rev1”
PRETTY_NAME=“balenaOS 2.85.2+rev1”
MACHINE=“iot-gate-imx8”
META_BALENA_VERSION=“2.85.2”
BALENA_BOARD_REV=“fba8222”
META_BALENA_REV=“34a41e07”
SLUG=“iot-gate-imx8”
This is happening with multiple boards so not related to one particular board. Also just fyi, eth0 worked fine on Compulab provided Ycoto Linux that was running on the boards before flashing BalenaOS
Thank you Alexgg. Please see below update from Compulab. Please let us know any estimate to get this resolved via base balenaOS as it’s stopping us from some critical testing which requires functional eth0.
The Ethernet PHY was updated to Realtek RTL8211E so following patches need to be integrated.
Thanks for the extra details. We will definitely update the BSP but unfortunately I can’t give you an ETA for it. For your development work I would suggest you build your own image as you suggest.
Thank you for the info. It will be great if this can be prioritize (at-least just porting couple patches) as most new user will likely hit this if they order eval kit recently.
