Hi guys,
I wanted to jump on the NE new era wagon, so I got myself the TrustOnX Player (TOX3) - https://trustonx.com/product/player-tox3-4gb-ram-ddr3-32gb-nand-amlogic-s905x4-media-player/
Everything works except WiFi and I am getting 200-300 mbit when connected on WiFi 5g… but I can not get my ETH lan to work. I am using currently the sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit but I have tried all the available s905x5 DTBs… on one of them (sc2_s905x4_4g I believe) I am able to switch on “wired = active” from coreelec GUI settings but then still no connection.
When I input ethtool eth0 I can see the interface, but “no link” is established…
And now the the 1gbit DBT I get:
ethtool eth0
Any help on how to get my ETH working is appreciated. I was hoping as there is a proper Ugoos X4 Pro support (this box firm is also created by Ugoos) but no luck yet… and I was hoping to get back to 1GB…
Let me know if you need any dumps/logs etc

Else… this is the bandwith I get with 5g WiFi
Client connecting to 192.168.1.229, TCP port 5201
[ 3] local 192.168.1.2 port 5889 connected with 192.168.1.229 port 5201
It`s still better than my X96 Max+ that turned out to be only 100 mbit and I had to buy the UE300 TP-Link dongle… to get … almost similar bandwith.
Else the S905X4 really feels snapier than the S905X3 … if I can get only the gigabit eth … this will change everything
Happy to share whatever is required, will search more info, i.e. what chip they used for LAN so I am able to test out some drivers…

I switched to latest nightly and this is what I get with sc2_s905x4_2g.dtb
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool eth0

And… here I tested all the DTBs and the results
sc2_s905x4_ugoos_x4.dtb - Boot - NO ETH

Played a bit with the TP-Link 1 GB over USB 3.0 adapter and oh boy…
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool eth1
root@NSA325-v2:~$ iperf -c 192.168.1.167 -p 5201
Client connecting to 192.168.1.167, TCP port 5201
[ 3] local 192.168.1.2 port 5720 connected with 192.168.1.167 port 5201
I never got more than 280 Mbit on the USB 3.0 port of the X96 Max+…
This is something else… certainly can live with that until hopefully one day we get full onboard LAN support.

Hello guys,
I just bought the TrustOnX Player (TOX3) – 4GB RAM DDR3, 32GB NAND, Amlogic S905X4 player.
It was recommended to me and also it seems that Ugoos are building the firmware for it. Right now I am running it with the latest NE nightly and it`s as fast as hell. The only problem I have is that I can not get the onboard LAN working so I am using an UE300 USB → 1 GB port and I am reaching > 800 mbit speeds which is super.
I have tested all the available dtb`s and share my output here + some logs .
I am willing to test and help so we can enable the ETH, this seems really like a good piece of hardware with proper cooling and not so cheap design.
Let me know what I can do from my end.
Here some info on the device
Do you get 1000Mb in Android?

Yes… but also very weired… in device info I cant see the ethernet… I did the mistake to flash 3 updates on the firm, so now I will roll back to the first firmware as it could be related to the issue.
Under downloads at least I can find all the firms
No point linking product info. Don’t trust vendors or dealers to supply what they say. You have to do it based on your testing.

That`s for sure, just showing that at least all firms are there, I will try to revert back the the first ever…
P.S. I was able to revert back to the first ever original firmware (there are 2 more after that)…
Sadly no LAN ETH0, and I am using now the ETH1 (UE300 tp-link 1GB usb 3.0 dongle which is 900 mbit at least)…

Yes, I have tested. It`s 1GBPS for sure.
Now the other interesting fact, I tried Coreelec NG (not NE) and… worked like a charm!
CoreELEC:~ # ethtool eth0
I decided to run udevadm and here the output:
P: /devices/platform/fe088000.sdio/mmc_host/sdio/sdio:0001/sdio:0001:1
and some ifconfig
ifconfig eth0
this is VERY VERY GOOD news for the TOX3 Tv BOX. If ETH gigabit is working in Coreelec NG (and it DOES - tested with iperf 833 mbit)… then I hope in the next releases of Coreelec NE the drivers will be included.
This is box sick tbh… even on wifi (it has a big outter antenna) I am getting very decent speeds over 5G wifi ac.

I keep testing, when I install OpenVFD add on (try to play with some confs to get lcd display working) it breaks ETH.
Same happens only if I cope remote.conf to .config
Need to go back to WLAN, rebooth, then ETH can be enabled

Any ideas guys, how I can try the ETH drivers from NG to NE?

I’m having the same issue with my TOX3 using sc2_s905x4_4g_1gbit.dtb.
Everything works in NG, but in NE there is no eth0.
In NG, the working ethernet uses Maxio MAE0621A PHY driver. Hopefully that driver will be added to NE.
CoreELEC:~ # dmesg |grep PHY
CoreELEC:~ # ls -l /sys/bus/mdio_bus/devices/*/driver
Will need to take a look if the driver is included. Please provide a dmesg | paste from NG.

Please let me know, when the driver is included in NE, so that I can retest.
