Running RaspbianOS 11, eth0 only gets an IP address about 35% of the time (7 out of 20 reboots).
I’ve upgraded to the Jan 24 2024 firmware. I have tried different ethernet cables and different ports on the router. All other devices on this router are happy.
I’ve tried using ethtool to slow down to 100M and 10M but it didn’t help.
In syslog I see eth0: carrier acquired, then 5 seconds later eth0: carrier lost, and this keeps looping forever. When carrier is lost, the orange light on the ethernet jack turns off for several seconds and the network icon in the top right corner of Raspbian desktop shows red X’s.
I’m using a USB-C Raspberry Pi power supply (5A).
Hi, I tried different distributions and none has ethernet issues. Perhaps you could install Debian temporarily to check if something in RaspbianOS is wrong.
Can you provide the exact logs from dmesg?

I’ve been having the same issue with Debian on the Alta. The problems is intermittent (it works about 1/3 of the time). I found a workaround is to unplug the ethernet cable until u-boot passes control to the Linux kernel. Once the kernel starts loading it should be ok to plug the cable back in. That works for me, anyway.
In my case I do have the latest firmware installed from here: https://hub.libre.computer/t/libre-computer-board-bios-firmware-update-images/3113

I updated the firmware but the problem still persists. I’m not entirely certain the update was successful, though. I did this:
wget https://boot.libre.computer/ci/aml-a311d-cc-spiflash
sudo dd if=aml-a311d-cc-spiflash of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M status=progress
And rebooted. I’m using a video capture card to capture console output and got this:
And rebooted. But, the ethernet problem persists and the BIOS revision seems to be the same. How can I tell if the firmware flashed properly?
This is a problem we thought we fixed. Can you let us know the kernel version and switch you are using?

Hi jrh,
Lets look at my flow controls from the switch. The port on the switch is set on Flow Control disabled. The commando dmesg gives
[ 12.404442] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off
If I change the switch port Flow Control to enabled it gives no problem at all. I checked this with several boots. The commando dmesg gives
[ 12.919949] meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet end0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
If I try to set up Auto Negotiation on switch port it returns the error Flow Control AutoNegotiation is not supported on port gi9.
@jrh : I am curious what the settings is for the flow control on the related port of your router/switch. If possible you can change it to disable or enable. If this works it could be an acceptable workout for you.
@librecomputer : With the error of my switch the question came up: Should auto negotiation work with the ethernet connection?

My switch is a NetGear GS108 with flow control enabled. It’s un-managed so I can’t modify the settings.
This is the message I get with dmesg:
Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
Hi all,
Running Libre Ubuntu 22.04.
[ 262.793123] fe.dai-link-5: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for fe.dai-link-5
[ 262.799700] fe.dai-link-5: ASoC: error at dpcm_fe_dai_prepare on fe.dai-link-5: -22
With fe-dai-link-N from 1 to 5
I’ve updated the firmware to the latest one, and verified that the router negotiates 1gb connection to the Alta.ssh will struggle).
Any advice?
after i thought i had fixed it, error returns.
-flashed actual firmware
nothing worked
maybe i should try an old image ? debian-11 ? but i guess this should not be image problem…
hi everyone,
having the same problem here. I tried using different switches and it doesn’t matter if the switch has flow control enabled or not, same outcome.
So my problem is this:
After booting, the ethernet adapter continually gets reset like this “meson8b-dwmac ff3f0000.ethernet end0: Reset adapter.”
You can fix the problem if you boot with the network cable disconnected. After boot, plug it back in and it magically works.
So now the relevant dmesg output diff:

I can’t use the alta with that problem, because it means the device will be defunct after a powerloss…
what is the current status of fixing this problem from @librecomputer ?
Also can someone explain how to check which “firmware” (is it really a firmware uploaded to some rom on the board or is it simply an update to the sd card using for booting?) is currently running and which firmware is currently the latest (the one thats supposed to fix the bug)?
That would be extremely helpful. Thanks!!
Download the spiflash image from Index of /release/ . If the checksum matches, then you’re on the latest.
if the checksum of that file matches with what exactly? Thanks!
If the flashing process says that the firmware matches. Libre Computer Board BIOS/Firmware Update Images
OK I am sorry for sounding stupid. I had posted my questions above. Please help me by answering them individually:
is the “firmware” uploaded to some rom on the board or is it simply an update to the regular (for example a debian) boot loader sd card used for regular booting and it is run this way?
If it is a flash utility that needs to update som rom on the board, where is the process for the alta board described? I cannot find a manual to follow anywhere.
Thanks!
Yes, it’s an image that needs to be flashed to a USB key or SD card and booted on the board.
