However it fails to activate networking in general (no IPv4 address, no routes, no gateway, no resolv.conf - yes the LAN DHCP server works well), so it's still of no use.
Does it find the network interface? Log in using the serial console and type "ip a".
ifconfig -a shows lo (with IP) and eth0 (without IP).
# ip a -bash: ip: command not found
Perhaps this is the problem, I thought distros went from ifconfig to ip many years ago.
And now I must be seeing things because it's working now, although I tried several times before posting yesterday. Networking is working as expected, even with a fixed MAC address (blast android). I saw the same problem on an RPi with oS 13.2 and I could ping briefly after forcing an address so it's not the cable.
I found the problem with the terminal not opening most of the time (device busy) after plugging in the USB/serial cable. Modem manager must be told to go away. I asked the MM devs a while ago about this problem and they said they can't change it because some modems look like this and have to be probed. Add ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1" to udev rules for this USB device (on the USB end, not the cubie side).
As for releases, whoever feels responsible for a certain platform can / does test it. If you'd like to take over that role for Cubieboard, I'm sure people would be very happy about it :).
13.2 still doesn't boot, factory has the boot problem fixed. I only have one board which I'm trying to use as a server to replace a power-hungry old PC, so factory isn't so good. Would the 13.2 repos work with the factory image? Happy to do some testing, though I suspect buying another PC Engines APU1 (makes a splendid firewall) would be far faster... ;-) Anyone can make cheap ARM systems but timely security updates are another matter. The board's been bottom drawered for 2 years because cubie's images didn't inspire me.
Yeah, we fixed all bugs in factory, use that. I have a cubieboard2 (same as you except for the dual-core CPU) and is running factory just fine: ixia:~ # uptime; uname -a 19:58 up 7 days 23:03, 1 user, load average: 0,22, 0,08, 0,06 Linux ixia 3.17.1-1.g5c4d099-default #1 SMP Sat Oct 18 23:36:23 UTC 2014 (5c4d099) armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux -- Cheers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
