Ethernet not connecting

Hi,

Finally got smoothieboard to boot with network.enable true. Had to use network.mac_override to set the MAC address.

Now with the network enabled I can connect to smoothie with USB.

Yellow LED on smoothie network jack blinks intermittently
Asus RT-N16 with DD-WRT Router LAN port light blinks
@net command returns: No network detected
Port mirroring monitoring with Wireshark doesn’t show any traffic from the Smoothieboard. (used IPTABLES command to forward all traffic)

iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j ROUTE —tee —gw 0.0.0.0/0
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 0.0.0.0/0 -j ROUTE —tee —gw 0.0.0.0/0

and this to validate changes:
iptables -t mangle -L -v -n

Using Mar 9 2016 Smoothie-edge Nightly Build

I haven’t flashed a new bootloader since I got this, would that affect network?

Any suggestions as to how to get this working or debug it?

network config below

[[code]]

  1. network settings

network.enable true # enable the ethernet network services
network.webserver.enable true # enable the webserver
network.telnet.enable true # enable the telnet server
network.ip_address auto # use dhcp to get ip address
network.hostname smoothie # optionally set this hostname for dhcp

  1. uncomment the 3 below to manually setup ip address

#network.ip_address 192.168.3.222 # the IP address
#network.ip_mask 255.255.255.0 # the ip mask
#network.ip_gateway 192.168.3.1 # the gateway address
network.mac_override AB.AB.AB.AB.AB.AB # override the mac address, only do this if you have a conflict[[/code]]

Can you try it with another router ?

Tried it connected directly to my Airport extreme; same issue. Is there any debugging that can be done from the Pronterface terminal?

Well, “net” is what should be giving you debugging info here …
Can you try a static IP ?

I forgot to mention I’ve tried static IP with both routers, still doesn’t work.

The fact it says “@net command returns: No network detected” means network is NOT enabled.

Below is my config. Can someone load this and see if the ethernet works? Since I do have network.enable true is there some other issue with my config? It seems odd that the Smoothieboard will not boot without the network.mac_override set (see config). I’ll borrow another router to see if it will work with.

That is a totally invalid config.

Download one from github that matches your h/w. DO NOT add stuff like you have there.
Just edit the few lines that you need to change.

What stuff is invalid? That was downloaded from github. BTW some of the # comments are not displayed.

I’m using this config (changed network.enable to true) and the Smoothieboard will not boot. If anyone has any helpful suggestions I would be interested to hear before I start debugging over the JTAG

raw. githubusercontent. com/Smoothieware/Smoothieware/edge/ConfigSamples/Smoothieboard/config/

If you are using the example config, only modified it to set the network to enabled, and it won’t boot, it’s likely the ethernet phy is damaged somehow …

That’s what I’m thinking too. Checked continuity of each pin on the PCB side of the Ethernet connector to the cap/resistors and they all measured okay (Ethernet connector was already soldered, so there may be a break because of the inductor wiring in the connector) I ordered an FTDI to USB adapter and will tinker around with that. Otherwise I might have to settle for USB only. Never got an email response from the Smoothie Kickstarter team regarding the possibly broken hardware (the board is a 4x Kickstarter reward).
