New OPI5+, unable to finish install because ethernet doesn't work.

 

I haven't been able to figure it out and my searches turned up nothing.

 

journalctl has the following messages:

 

 - hpptx phy lane locked!

 - rk_gmac-dwmac fe1c0000.ethernet error: no phy at addr -1

 - stmmac_open: cannot attach to phy (error -19)

 

I've checked power supply, cables,  edited the interfaces file, and more , with no success. I have an Orange Pi 5 that I can swap as is in its place and everything works. Coupled with the fact that I couldn't find mention of the errors, I'm hoping that someone can help me before I give up and return the OPI5+.

Returning and giving up is indeed a simple solution!

(the other solution may consist of giving more information about the type of network used, wired? wifi? what wifi card?.....)

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

 

Armbianmonitor -U pastes to console

@octal8 which image did you download 

If you used the 6.7.0-rc7 image, then check what overlay and dt file you have configured. This image defaults to the dt file for the original non-plus version.

 

Check and adjust in /boot/armbianEnv.txt the following 2 lines.

 

overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588
fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588-orangepi-5-plus.dtb

 

I switched to the official Orange Pi installation and it works fine. So it's not a hardware issue.  Since an Orange Pi 5 worked fine in the same setup, I was suspecting that and am glad because I didn't want to return it.

 

Based on the symptoms, it seems like a driver/configuration issue.

 

The problem is I don't want to use the official Orange Pi installation since it is run by Huawei with servers in China. For one, I'd much rather use an organization run by volunteers (Armbian) than one run by a corporation. Also, with the way things are going between the USA and China, who knows what may happen in the future with respect to sanctions, etc...

 

Marco, I tried your suggestion and it didn't work. Still no USB3 and Ethernet. 

 

Werner, I'm going to try your suggestion next to see if it narrows down what I need to do to make Armbian work.

I think you use opi5 image instead of opi5+. You have to read description properly

On the Armbian website, they only have one image that combines all three hardware versions Orange Pi 5 / 5B / 5 Plus.

Thank you, I will.

Update:

 

 -Still no USB3

- Still no Ethernet

- Parted doesn't recognize the nvme M.2 card installed.

- Installing the OS to the emmc chip remains a mystery.

- No sound

As Efe stated. You are using the wrong images. Oranhe Pi 5 != Orange Pi 5 Plus

On the Armbian website, all three OP5 hardware versions are lumped together on the same page. There are two images available on the page, the cli version that I'm using, and a Gnome version.

 

https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/

 

There is also a link for older versions, but since the OPI5+ is new, something tells me they would not be better.

 

What am I missing?

Since I want to use an official Armbian image, I would say that the problem isn't solved until they make one available that works.

The one posted by Efe here is official, do you mean you want something more official than that?

My apologies to all, especially Efe. I missed the obvious. 

 

I need some sleep.
