Bug#864562: Info received (Bug#864562: No ethernet link on Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro Rev. J, possibly PHY driver problem)

[Jean-Louis MOUNIER <jean-louis.mounier@laposte.net>]

Hello,

I've just read Olimex Blog and found the following text about my board (which is a J Release).

We are selling for some time already A20-OLinuXino-MICRO Rev.J where few things were improved:

1. We changed the LAN PHY from Realtek to Microchip as latter is more reliable supplier for both commercial and industrial temperature components, we searched desperately Realtek PHY in industrial temperature grade but without success.
2. We extended the input working voltage from 6-16VDC to 8-24VDC
3. We changed the NAND Flash to eMMC (but old NAND style flash is still possible to assembly)

The Ethernet PHY change requires new patches on the Uboot and Linux images which are already uploaded.

Obviously, the Debian Installer Kernel needs a patch to run on my (very) new board. I don't have a lot of time neither skill level to investigate the patch myself but I'm ready to run any test fron my board as you need...

Thank you in advance

Regards
