I am checking the kernel (sunxi-next) development progress time to time. Currently there is a step-back due to some compiler related problems so it's hard to built it. I think it will be fixed soon ... I didn't investigate where the problem started. That would take way too much time. |

@igorpec: Forum user a1d3s successfully built the sunxi-next kernel for Banana Pi:
http://forum.lema ...
I built image as well, two weeks ago or so. Everything is working ... except Ethernet. Currently compilation breaks down ... maybe it's already fixed. Haven't try today yet.
I made a build script and it's working if sources are ok:
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/BananaPI-Debian
For next you have to edit build.sh and change from
BOARD="bananapi"
to
BOARD="bananapi-next" |

Hmmm. A1d3s claims ethernet is working for him. He just couldn't say whether its working at 1Gbit because he only has 100Mbit hardware. |

Actally link is up @gbit and it looks ok but you don't get IP / connection. Maybe this is already fixed. |

Retried this evening with latest git and closely following instructions (new uboot, etc). Still the same. Blue light, link up, but no ping...
I only have a gigabit switch, I don't have a 100 Mbit switch to try. Could be the issue ??
BTW only compiling EMac doesn't bring light led On. You have to select ST micro + Gmac patch |

1000Base-T is backwards compatible even with 10 MBits/sec by specification. But of course you might run into negotiation problems between the different subsystems (Switch & PHY negotiate 100 MBits/sec and GMAC tries to send/receive at 1000 MBits/sec or vice versa). |
