@loboris,

Possible to trouble you to build one with AP ready???
I tried but cant get it to work... If not some pointers will be great too...
I can slowly figure out...

Cheers

@markwinger
"If set gamc_phy to use internal PHY, do not config port" OPI-PLUS has external PHY, OPI-2 internal (according to fex).
Probably the pins assignment in OPI-PLUS fex are wrong.

@derrickyee81
I'll try in a few days...

@loboris

[gmac_phy_power]
gmac_phy_power_en = portD06<1><default><default><0>

You need to give power "manualy" with patching the kernel.
There is somewhere a patch in this forum ...crappy search function.
PD06 needs to set "high" for working ethernet on opi plus.
I repost patch, dont remember authors name sorry

I've pached the kernel to (hopefully) work with OPI-PLUS ethernet (thanks @fritz).

Download kernel_OPI-PLUS.tar.gz from Mega (see 1st post), unpack to some empty directory.
copy uImage to SDCard fat partition (where the old uImage is)
copy lib directory SDCard linux partition

If someone try this, please report back.

I have a Orange Pi Plus board. I try to patch debian image with kernel_OPI-PLUS.tar.gz.
copy uImage to SDCard fat partition overwriting the existing file
copy lib directory to SDCard linux partition overwriting the existing files

It doesn't work

Does OrangePI-PLUS ethernet works with any of the availabe linux images? I could extract fex from it.

Yes
