Can you include the full serial output when booting? If you break into the U-Boot prompt can you get a dhcp lease? Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 => setenv autoload no => dhcp => printenv ipaddr It matters which phy you have as well, the U-Boot images are not built with CONFIG_GMAC_TX_DELAY=3 which is needed for the revision H boards with a Micrel/Microchip KSZ9031 phy according to https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 It seems armbian have a patched U-Boot, it is unclear if the latest patch is https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/board_lime2/GMAC_TX_DELAY_autocorrection.patch olimex have their own U-Boot branch https://github.com/OLIMEX/u-boot/tree/olimex which has many changes, one of which sets the tx delay to 4 for revisions >= H.
