Very much I hope that the problem will be solved. Good distribution kit. Convenient.

If it helps with elimination of a mistake that: my problem is shown not only when updating but also new installation of the last kernel. All that I spoke on the problem was at new installation of the last image and kernel

I found a way.   Just need to implement it.

Solution(s) - pick one:

 

- Edit /etc/init.d/armhwinfo and add this:

# fix for eth0 no brought up
if [ "$(hwclock -r)" == "" ]; then 
echo -e "[\e[0;32m ok \x1B[0m] Fixing RTC and reloading eth0"
date -s "2015-01-01 10:00:00"
hwclock -w
ifup eth0
fi

- Replace it with this content

 

- Wait for new image release (4.3)

 

 

Please try if you run into problems after this fix. 

Great. I will try this tomorrow and report.

And a little more universal solution:

# fix for eth0 no brought up
if [ "$(hwclock -r)" == "" ]; then
echo -e "[\e[0;32m ok \x1B[0m] Fixing RTC and reloading eth0"
date -s "2015-01-01 10:00:00"
hwclock -w
service networking restart
fi

While this solution works for Wheezy it doesn't on Jessie which stuck on "waiting for ttyS0"

I can confirm that this works for wheezy. The entire installation procedure succeeded on my cubietruck. Thank you!!

So you recommend? To put Wheezy or then you will correct in Jessie?

It works in Trusty too. (there is some time delay but it works)

Jessie startup procedure is different and it resolves into different error. I'll try but it won't be this quick as for Wheezy. 

 

Rather stick to Wheezy, yes.

 

... I would rather see this is solved on kernel level.

Thanks for council. Only I will specify: it works at a kernel 4.1.6 or only on 3.4.108?

Wheezy with kernel 4.1.6 does work.

Wheezy with kernel 4.1.6 does work.

 

With fix or without?

 

Download images are not corrected yet.

Ah, sorry...

 

Wheezy with kernel 4.1.6 does work.

 

... when you use Igor's patch:

 

# fix for eth0 no brought up

if [ "$(hwclock -r)" == "" ]; then
echo -e "[\e[0;32m ok \x1B[0m] Fixing RTC and reloading eth0"
date -s "2015-01-01 10:00:00"
hwclock -w
service networking restart
fi

I confirm: it works with this fix on Wheezy with kernel 4.1.6 .Without it does not work. Problem solved
