I'm using the i.mx6q sabresd board, and the the u-boot cannot ping it self. Following is the environment of uboot. The ping prints:

=> ping 10.10.70.102
FEC Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT !
Using FEC device

ARP Retry count exceeded; starting again
ping failed; host 10.10.70.102 is not alive

Hi, 

Finally I find the reason. It is the physical cable. The cable works well for i.mx6q sabrelite board, but does not work for i.mx6q sabre sd board.

Pinging from uboot to a PC is possible as long as you ensure you have a valid IP address set.

However the u-boot IP stack is limited, so uboot does not respond to ping.

 

Look at the following page about ping response:

Have a great day,

Hi,

Another question, is the Ethernet light on when the network cable is plugged? My board's light is not on.

Hi, 

I ping from the u-boot to the host, and it still does not work. But I can use the network from Linux.

The result is:

=> ping 10.10.70.101
FEC Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete......... TIMEOUT !
Using FEC device

ARP Retry count exceeded; starting again
ping failed; host 10.10.70.101 is not alive

Hi shijun zhao,

               In Imx8mq evk  I am able to ping  ubuntu pc IP but I am not able to ping board itself. What is the reason behind.

Please find my logs below :

Board IP addrs:

-------------------

u-boot=> ping 192.168.0.120
Using ethernet@30be0000 device

ARP Retry count exceeded; starting again
ping failed; host 169.254.33.229 is not alive

Ubuntu PC IP addrs:

-----------------------------

u-boot=> ping 192.168.0.180
Using ethernet@30be0000 device
host 192.168.0.180 is alive

Regards,

Santosh
