Tanix Tx6s can not connect network

[rayzpham]

Currently, I use new version of MiniArch-20230212-6.3.5-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz and I can not use network by cable smartphone, ethernet and wifi but before that I use MiniArch-20230212-6.2.10-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz (Link removed ) and I still can use cable smartphone to connect network Anybody help me create file backup of img MiniArch-20230212-6.3.5-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz. Thanks so much :((

Sorry, my English may be bad for writing.

Same here. Board model - CS_H616_TX6S_B4_V4.1

Hi, It looks you have different hardware in your's tx6s :-(

To move forward may you: 1.provide me pictures of pcb from your box 2.extract android dt from box factory android ( i.e. using this procedure: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/wiki/Getting-device-tree-from-TVbox-vendor-Android)

[Null-Kelvin]

It's seems so. Sunxi metioned CS_H616_TX6S_B4_V3.0 as reference board, and here is 4.1 dtb and dts.zip

Fast Eth on h616 is tricky thing (as it uses companion chip ac200 or ac300) and currently is not supported by linux kernel. To get it working i developed u-boot code which auto-detects acX00 variant and initiates it. Then hw is passed in warm state to linux kernel.

To see is this process working ok in your case we need uart output from uboot. (more info: https://linux-sunxi.org/Tanix_TX6s)

Without this info I can't say where is root cause of dead eth in your case....

@Null-Kelvin I prepared test build with some changes in uboot: https://github.com/warpme/minimyth2/releases/download/v12.15.2/MiniMyth2-armv8-master-12.16.0.r378-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz

may you pls flash and provide me uart output from this build?

UART Log 2.txt

[warpme]

thx. in this build i changed mdio (eth phy) addr from 1 to 0. I see: Could not get PHY for ethernet@5030000: addr 0 It looks still nogo.

I prepared another build with mdio @ addr16 May you download again, flash and provide uart out from uboot?

(all those plays are because android dt done have mdio entry at all so we trying to guess addr)

[Null-Kelvin]

Same link as before? Should it be recompiled every time, or I can just replace one file on memory card instead of full reflashing?

[warpme]

yes. the same link. i re-uploaded image with this image uart out should refer to addr 16 instead of addr 0 in Could not get PHY for ethernet@5030000: addr 0

UART Log 3.txt

[warpme]

this looks much better :-) May you on sd card overwrite boot.scr file by boot-debug.scr (so boot-debug.scr becomes boot.scr)?

[Null-Kelvin]

UART Log 4.txt It works, received IP address from DHCP and boot MiniMyth. DMESG.txt

Works perfectly! Thank you very much!

Hi @Null-Kelvin I need your help to back up a file named 'MiniArch-20230212-6.4.3-board-h616.tanix_tx6s_axp313-SD-Image.img.xz' because it can be used with Ethernet. If you can assist me, please send the file to rayzpham@gmail.com. Thank you for your support.
