There are people who have modified the board to correct the problem and posted instructions on how to do that. However, I tested Arbian's and ayufan's linux on my board and the ethernet works fine so a software solution is possible as well. -Kurt

Something I can trace back to a specific git hash... On my Rock64 v2.0 board the network interface is fairly solid if I configure it for 100baseTX using: # ifconfig dwge0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex Cheers, Mark

Sure, I tried these: Armbian_20.02.1_Rock64_bionic_current_5.4.20_desktop.img kernel version: 5.4.20 https://dl.armbian.com/rock64/Bionic_current_desktop bionic-minimal-rock64-0.9.16-1163-arm64.img kernel version: 4.4.197 https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases > On my Rock64 v2.0 board the network interface is fairly solid if I > configure it for 100baseTX using: > > # ifconfig dwge0 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex > Thanks, I'll give that a try soon. -Kurt

I think that is too old to use with OpenBSD. I know 2017.09 has a bug in it that prevents our bootloader from working. I'm unsure when that bug was fixed in u-boot though. I don't see support for the NanoPi R2S in u-boot master so there's a decent amount of work to add support for it. It may be a fun mini-project for someone who has a NanoPi R2S to add support to u-boot though. -Kurt

Actually, I fixed that bug last weekend. There are still U-Boot versions that don't work, but 2017.09 and 2017.11 should work now. > I don't see support for the NanoPi R2S in u-boot master so there's > a decent amount of work to add support for it.

Oh that's great. So it should be possible do something like this to extract u-boot from the linux image and write to uSD: dd if=rk3328-sd-friendlycore-bionic-5.4-arm64-20200312.img \ of=nanopi.r2s.u-boot.img skip=64 count=32000 dd if=miniroot66.fs of=/dev/sdXc bs=1m dd if=nanopi.r2s.u-boot.img of=/dev/sdXc seek=64 where sdX is the micro sd being prepared and miniroot66.fs is from current. > > > > I don't see support for the NanoPi R2S in u-boot master so there's > > a decent amount of work to add support for it.
