Hi
What is the recommendation regarding the extension board for ethernet (not USB)?  Which one is natively supported on A13?

There are several olimex ethenert modules, but not sure which one is supported.

Kind regards

Mario

I don't think any is.  Have a see if there's kernel support or how to add it / enable the needed I/O & interrupts, probably in script.bin (read Fex guide).

Dear John

Thank you for the quick reply.

That's a pity & I am afraid that I do not know the TLA for FEX, even after googling around a bit.

FYI: TLA = Three Letter Acronym & FYI = For Your Information ;-).
FEX = ???

To ENC28J60-H and MOD-ENC28J60 the driver is enc28j60.ko. They are SPI. Look here https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=462.0

Try google
Fex guide
and it is first item

Or, on Olimex page for A13 Olinuxino there are links to tools and various fex ones are in Contents

Don't worry, it is highly complex chip & board so lots to learn!

linux-sunxi.org is good place to spend ages learning
