this is your problem:
if keyman read mac ${loadaddr} str; then setenv bootargs ${bootargs} mac=${mac}
Your vendor did not burn the mac unify key.
Please run in CE console:
cat /sys/class/efuse/mac
cat /proc/cpuinfo
# cat /sys/class/efuse/mac
0x00: 00 00 00 00 00 00

Hardware : Amlogic
Itâs also empty and you need to use your workaround script.
efuse return 0x00
320b0201000000000e1ba1c115605680 what represent the mac is also empty.
You can âfixâ your bootloader configuration by:
fw_setenv cmdline_keys 'setenv region_code US; setenv bootargs ${bootargs} mac=${ethaddr}'
The whole keyman stuff is not needed as it is empty. But on next update this change is lost again and you will need to run fw_setenv again.
This image should have now the âworkaroundâ implemented for your cheap sh$%& box:
CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.0-Nexus_devel_20221003163621-Generic.img.gz
Maybe the data is not burned as itâs a used and refurbished eMMC what is assembled in your hardware. I would not trust this peace of hardware, I guess it will fail soonâŚ
EDIT:
Image removed
For devices like yours please use the option config.ini:
Add on bottom coreelec='mac=<your mac>' and it should be permanent available.
So in your case coreelec='mac=02:ad:32:01:70:2a'
EDIT:
Maybe this is working as well:
coreelec='mac=${ethaddr}'

OK thanks I can work with my autostart.sh script and rewrite it when it is zeroes to avoid the down/up delay.
Edit: config.ini with my mac worked. The variable doesnât works because it is not in the environment, I was getting ethaddr with fw_printenv in my script. I might stick with autostart since I can use the same card in multiple devices.

Hi, can you post again this image, I have the same problems as @emveepee and I want to test this image. Thank you sir for the great job BTW.
No, the link its not working, but that one I like to try it.
Sorry I didnât check, I downloaded directly so donât have a copy.
@Portisch, hi, can you repost the image [CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.arm-20.0-Nexus_devel_20221003093146-Generic.img.gz], I wish to try it. Thank you.
The JL2xx1 chip will be supported soon in next CE-19 and CE-20 nightlies.
Many thanks to the CE user @tomergam who gave us the possibility to have remote access to such piece of hardware. Because of this remote sessions it was possible to add support for Amlogic-ng and upcoming Amlogic-ne project.

This was also the case on my X96 X4, HW rev 1.3.
efuse return 0x00
But did not need to edit config.ini, because in cmdline MAC was set already and it worked.
I did post logfiles already here some time ago.
Yes, this is the normal way. The bootloader read it from eMMc and set it in boot console. But these others one looks like refurbished eMMc or something else cheap cheating and the data is not on eMMc.
So itâs set only manual by the vendor in source.
So when you buy such device you will never be sure what you receive. There are now about 4 different hardware configurations and 4 images as well.
Remind, this all for one device sold under same nameâŚ
I build the new version (donât know if it is in the nightly yet) and the jl2xxx device is started on my two devices, I guess they get ah212 from the dtb. Logs http://ix.io/4cl2 or http://ix.io/4cl4.
With the nightly the old 02:00⌠no is not consistent so people might not get a fixed IP from the router here is my autostart.sh that works on both my jl21xxx devices
if [ -z "$(fw_printenv -n mac)" ]; then
my_mac="$(fw_printenv -n ethaddr)"
fw_setenv cmdline_keys 'setenv region_code US; setenv bootargs ${bootargs} mac='$my_mac''
fw_setenv mac $my_mac
ip link set eth0 down
ip link set dev eth0 address $my_mac
ip link set eth0 up
fi
The CE20 on the VFD is a nice touch, I never noticed that before
Which file and where can I download the latest CE to try on my HK1 box to see if the 1000gb LAN works?
Try the latest nightly build.
try the nightly 20221006 CE19
now I got eth0
but getting very slow results

Sorry, but must be. Buy cheap, buy twiceâŚ
I have discovered over time that this is a true lesson!
I had same problem, verry slow connection at 1Gb, but also errors und disconnects.
But new development version works as expected, fast and no instability:
On X96_x4 HW-rev 1.3
There are three 1Gb switches and long LAN cables in between.
