Can I put these 4 commands in my 9.2.8 version to make ethernet work on my device? Or will you make a specific dtb? This has worked on a test pen drive but I use a stable 9.2.8 on microSD. I understand that it would not work in 9.2.8 but I would like to know your opinion. I think this can help a lot of people with the old x96max with ethernet problems especially x96max 4/32 and 4/64 devices. Thank you very much Portisch.
Installed latest nightly (20220110) and with only initial settings (no addons) my Ethernet speed is 1Gbits as it should be. There is no problem as I explained here with my 14.3 full installation, and solved by forcing 1Gbits speed.
Now when I test with “ethtool eth0” I get following response: 1000 on Nightly.txt (1.4 KB)
The only difference from 19.3 response: 100.txt (1.4 KB)
is in these lines:
Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No
Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Transmit-only
My question: Has anything been changed between 19.3 and latest nightly that can influence this functionality difference?
If not, I have to begin installing all my addons (reboot after installing every one) to find out which addon causes this drop in Ethernet speed, from 1000Mbits to 100Mbits…
In the mean time I updated nightly to 19.4_rc1 and ethernet still works OK with 1Gbits…
If you doubt that addons can change ethernet settings, I’ll try to restore my 19.3 backup to 19.4 and see if it still works OK…
Edit: OK, I restored my 19.3 full installation to 19.4_rc1 and now my N2 and router negotiate in a polite way so I get 1Gbits automatically, without the need to force it.
Not sure if this can be solved. It’s way over complicated and DVB is obsolete for such systems.
When you do not work on “mainline” it’s almost impossible to get crazycat compiled.
Like when updating the package it does apply newer kernel patches as well for old kernel:
Instead of just copy over file over file may try to find the reason in the file?
There is a new kernel now used and you will stuck on 19.4_rc1 forever.
I don’t remember if we took already a look or not. Please share your dtbs and describe which one did work, which one not and so on. There have to be a difference and when this is defined you can use a autostart.sh script to modify the dtb every time on boot.
So use image before 20220112 and your GEN2 dtb.
Then power off should not work, correct? It does reboot instead power off?
If running enter SSH session and try:
mount -o rw,remount /flash
fdtput -d /flash/dtb.img /auge_sound avout_mute-gpios
sync
Please post the output of the commands as I am not 100% if they are correct.
If no error happen just type reboot to get the change active and than test if the behavior changed.
i today updated to latest nightly 13.01.2022 from 10.01.200 it was i believe. Then i got error “TVheadend no free adapter available”. Then manually reverted to 19.4 RC1 and channels (dvb-s2) work again. Box is Mecool ki pro S905. never had this issue before!!!
I checked it and it works. So here is the GEN2 dtb with this property removed: g12a_s905x2_4g_1gbit.dtb (66.5 KB)
Just use this and check if still reboot on power off.
