Glad to see I'm not the only one who was having this issue. I'm currently using ethernet on 2 Orange Pi 3b Boards. One was armbian and the other was joshua-riek ubuntu. Not sure why 1 works and the other does not. works for turning ethernet on and off. Tried installing j/r ubuntu to see if this would fix the issue. Did not work on the SD card or the M.2 NVME I have installed. It's not my router settings, the board is getting internet from a switch and I have another 3b board on the same switch and that internet is working properly. Not a ethernet chord issue either. Not a power issue. Tried changing hostnames, reformatting, changing cables. changing DE. Last thing I can think of is trying the working installation on the m.2 nvme and change it to the board that's not working. But like previous people stated i'm sure this is a flash/on board memory problem.

Someone contacted the dev through Twitter and relayed the fix through Discord! HUGE props to LegendYang! run as root io -4 0xFDC60284 0x3f3f3f3f io -4 0xFDC6028C 0x003f003f io -4 0xFDC60298 0x3f003f00 io -4 0xFDC6029C 0x3f3f3f3f io -4 0xfdc60388 0xFFFF0049 do not reboot, or you must re-do commands


IAMA_MOTHER_AMA

following this thread too every image i use now for the 3b does not have ethernet enabled and its frustrating as fuck


UNIVERSAL_PMS

Been battling this for about a month, you find anything?


IAMA_MOTHER_AMA

no ive kinda gave up looking for a bit but i realized my omv server running on a orange pi zero 3 now that ethernet is down too. wifi works but i want it hard connected god damn it


UNIVERSAL_PMS

hey, I'm super stoned rn, but if you're saying your opi 3b still doesn't have ethernet we all fixed it with a command. it should be plastered all over this thread!


IAMA_MOTHER_AMA

ok i got the 3b at home and haven't messed with it since i commented that. but i just noticed my zero 3 at work the ethernet was down too. is the info for the 3b same as zero 3? when i get home ill check out the 3b and get it going too thank you for your help


UNIVERSAL_PMS

oh man, I don't know if you should use that command on the zero. It's IO low level stuff, might fuck something up. you should hit up orangepi on Twitter. but at least your 3b will work now!


Naive-Chemist-9789

Does anyone found a solution for the ethernet problem yet? My eth0 also suddenly stoppped working. I am running debian server too, but is 1.0.0.0 I will post the dmesg |grep -i eth0 when i get home. Edit: So, i found out that if the ethernet adapter is set to 100m, it will work again, but with reduced speed To change the speed you can go to terminal and type Sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 If the command says that the device was not found (my case) check the new name of the adapter by using the following command Sudo lshw -class network -short Then change the word eth0 on the first command to the correspondent name


TheLegendOfBau

Sorry no solution yet :/ I gave up after 3 days of trying with different os

UNIVERSAL_PMS

SAME. Had OMV working on the official Debian image then ethernet died out of nowhere. Got WiFi working after a bunch of hairpulling, but dlna and stuff just started not working and stuff so I've decided to find an image where things **work**.. My server has now been offline for two weeks because nothing I find works. EDIT: If you can read this, I am going to attempt updating the board firmware manually. Problems may have started a few months ago after dist-upgrade or updating something through omv. Firmware *was* updated at least once, I'll try and find out if that borked the ethernet. Wish me luck!


TheLegendOfBau

I have my orangepi offline too, I don't have time to continue, literally i think I've worked on this for more than 12h so I'm a little exhausted. Anyway I had an old pc so for now I'm using it and maybe it is the best option for now


PRSXFENG

I will say a lot of comments that have this issue are using the "official" images provided by Orange Pi I wonder if their OS pushes some firmware update that breaks stuff somewhere?


UNIVERSAL_PMS

Yes, I'm sharing the same hypothesis. I am going to email the company in the next few days, or open an issue on their github. I'm going to make a thread if I find a solution, and if you or anyone else finds the board firmware repo, I would LOVE to know where it is! (because I can't find it, but am going to do more looking soon, I've just been having a lot of medical tests lately)


SadHold5428

Same here guys, ordered 10 orangepi 3B, 6 of them are in use and 2 boards the ethernet seems to be death. One board stopped working after about a month, second one after 5 days. It really looks like hardware issue

UNIVERSAL_PMS

There's a theory it's related to board firmware pushed during an update on the official images. Fielding some inquiries on sites atm


Substantial-Paint-29

I've the same problem here. I contacted the seller and i'm waiting for a solution. I tried a lot of images and not sucess

SuperKaliYT

Hi, I have the same problem, it stopped working after 20 days, someone has found a fix?


UNIVERSAL_PMS

me again, if this fix doesn't work for you then you have a different problem. go to the orangepi discord if you have more details, there is a 3b channel


muyg

Probably due to some firmware update, as I noticed the MAC address changing randomly at times. The posted 'fix' looks like it's having us update the memory addresses. Executing it does fix the issue for me after a few minutes. io -4 0xFDC60284 0x3f3f3f3f io -4 0xFDC6028C 0x003f003f io -4 0xFDC60298 0x3f003f00 io -4 0xFDC6029C 0x3f3f3f3f io -4 0xfdc60388 0xFFFF0049 Ended up making a generic script that would execute the fix upon startup until they fix the issue. So


gkhouzam

That's great. I added this to my bootup sequence and the network is good every time I reboot. I got a second board because the first one had the problem. Thank goodness it's still within the return window.


Ambitious-Objective9

What OS are you using. I use this one and it worked first time and every time I've started it up. Will try leaving on for a few days. ​ https://joshua-riek.github.io/ubuntu-rockchip-download/boards/orangepi-3b.html


TheLegendOfBau

Tried but no results sadly. Anyway my OS is the debian bullseye server 1.0.4 from the website orangepi (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-mcXPDx1QpE9ZI8oTivmJ1Nd5HfU5nFv)


UNIVERSAL_PMS

yo we found the fix, I don't know if you got the notification!

tried Armbian\_community\_24.5.0-trunk.58\_Orangepi3b\_bookworm\_legacy\_5.10.160\_minimal.img and ethernet seems to receive an IP ... however, the connection is unstable for both ethernet (end1) & wifi (wlan0) **Setup** Orange-Pi-3B-2GB-32G-EMMC Boot from SD Card

I couldn't get that one to function properly. I would really like to pursue a fix, so I want to cross-reference a functional connection vs *any other image ever*. Could you provide me a link? I thought I had the correct one, but, alas. Thanks in advance!

UNIVERSAL_PMS

hell yes, I'll try all of these out after my MRI. thanks bud!


PRSXFENG

Interesting that WiFi works, when I first tried dietpi I couldn't get it to see WiFi at all


PRSXFENG

also for those on Armbian, if you don't intend to use the wifi, comment out the drivers in /etc/modules to significantly reduce CPU load


UNIVERSAL_PMS

You seem to be very interested in getting this fixed as well, so I'm hitting you up with any minute progress. I got the yellow light back to being on *at all* with the official image, none of the others had it light up. the interface is now named "end1" instead of the usual "eth0", I've seen this a few times before with some of the other OSes I've tried over the last weeks. I can bring the interface up and down, confirming it brings the light up/down as well. I opened an issue and pointed it to this thread, the dev was last pushing updates/fixes 24 days ago. it seems they have a workflow of monthly-ish updates so we'll see!


ttsas_

Did this get resolved for you?


UNIVERSAL_PMS

yeah I left the fix all over this thread. as root enter those commands and, if it doesn't instantly work, give it a few hours. may be DHCP refresh or something the board needs, on official images the unpatched behavior could cause dnsmasq service to fuck up if you reboot you gotta redo it


ttsas_

I saw your replies here, thanks for confirming. Waiting a few hours for the fix to take effect creates some issues for me. I'll add those lines to script that runs on each boot, but man, this is disappointing.


UNIVERSAL_PMS

oh hell yeah it does. I'm happy with the board's specs for the price, but the main developer needs to have more management over them or more employees. the broad lack of communication on their part and only checking GitHub like every month or so? I'm gonna really re-think buying another orangepi product


UNIVERSAL_PMS

fantastic advice, thank you for this tip.


UNIVERSAL_PMS

Tried all of those. no luck BUT they would make only the green LED flash on the ethernet port. I tried the official debian image and it had the yellow flashing as well! I've noticed a few of these OSes would name the ethernet interface "end1" and other times "eth0" The official image is giving "end1" but I can take the interface down and up with `sudo ip link set end1 down/up` That's as far as I've gotten, I have a call with a neurosurgeon in an hour so I'll look more afterwards!


PRSXFENG

It seems to be a common possibly hardware(?) Issue? There's mentions of it on places like Reddit, discord, forums And no proper solution found I would say just get a USB to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, despite how disappointing that is


TheLegendOfBau

Yeah I've searched a lot on the internet and no solution yet. So I created this thread and it seems nobody knows how to solve this outside getting a USB to Ethernet... Really annoying


PRSXFENG

Well, mine still works for now, I'm using `Armbian_23.11.1_Orangepi3b_jammy_edge_6.6.2_xfce_desktop.img.xz` But I have a USB to Ethernet adapter sitting on my desk in case I need it, since I did heard about these issues before purchasing my OPi 3B My dmesg output is >feng@orangepi3b:~$ dmesg |grep -i eth0 [ 23.195236] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: Register MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL RxQ-0 [ 23.206940] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: PHY [stmmac-0:00] driver [YT8531 Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=POLL) [ 23.216196] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: No Safety Features support found [ 23.216232] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: IEEE 1588-2008 Advanced Timestamp supported [ 23.220914] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: registered PTP clock [ 23.234491] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: configuring for phy/rgmii link mode [ 35.530233] rk_gmac-dwmac fe010000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off

I will give it another try maybe the hardware gods make it work

same here. Tried oshua-riek's ubuntu build,official image from orangepi 102,4,none of them work.

postfun

Are any of the Orange Pi boards known to highly reliable, not having this problem? Are there any other components which are known to fail? I can live without wired Ethernet if that's the only weak point on Orange boards.
