x88pro x3 failed to start Raise network interface

[araczkowski]

Any chance to have working ethernet in x88pro x3 (s905x3) box ? This box has 1Gb ethernet, Armbian is starting fine, but unfortunately the network doesn't work. Any advices how to achieve working ethernet are welcome.

This network card can be driven, you test meson-sm1-xxx.dtb related files, such as

meson-sm1-tx3-qz.dtb meson-sm1-x96-air-gbit.dtb meson-sm1-x96-max-plus.dtb meson-sm1-h96-max-x3.dtb

Modify the name of dtb in /boot/uEnv.txt

I tested all the dtb - no luck, the same problem on boot -> failed to start Raise network interfaces.

The network (ethernet and wifi) works good on the same box for CoreELEC. In CoreELEC the working dtb name is sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb I tryied to use dtb from CoreELEC to Armbian but without success - no boot.
