LS1043a-rdb network problem

[eriktideman]

We are using the LS1043a-rdb -pa evaluation board and having problem with ethernet in linux. When we build the kernel with the SDK-2.0's defconfig (kernel version 4.1.8) none of the ethernet interfaces RX counter increases despite connected to whatever other network equipment. TX works fine.

When switching kernel to the SDK-0.5's defconfig (kernel version 3.19) all interfaces works fine. Is there any configuration in the latest SDK that we are missing?

Usually similar problem happens if there is no FMAN microcode. Check your boar using the following pages:
