CoreELEC 19.5-Matrix_rc2 Discussion

Did it work on rc1 or did you just start to use CE from rc2?
If none of the existing images work, can you SSH into the box and run the following command to check if your ethernet PHY is JL2101?

dmesg | grep 'eth%d: PHY ID'

If it says something like this (PHY ID 937c4032), then your box has a JL2101 PHY:

[    0.742444@3]- eth%d: PHY ID 937c4032 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:00) active
[    0.742611@3]- eth%d: PHY ID 937c4032 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:01)

If it says something like this, then your box does not have a JL2101 PHY:

[    0.598830@2]- eth%d: PHY ID 001cc916 at 0 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:00) active
[    0.598834@2]- eth%d: PHY ID 001cc916 at 1 IRQ POLL (stmmac-0:01)

You can also run the following command and paste the link to us so we can check the full kernel log:

dmesg | paste

And if your PHY is JL2101, then can you try either one of the following images to check if the ethernet works? (or if you don’t know how to SSH, then you can simply try these images anyway)

(This one uses the generic PHY driver for JL2101)

(This one uses the official driver from JLsemi I ported for JL2101)

I developed the JL2101 patches for my S905X3 box (HK1 Box), and verified it work nicely, but testers with S905X4 and JL2101 reported it did not work, and since I don’t have a S905X4 box with JL2101 I can’t further fix the problems. Since you are using basically the same model as mine (vontar x3 is basically hk1 box rebranded), the patched image should work for you, could you give it a try?
