what means the phrase "if they have upgraded the hardware themselves"
"Users of the Luckfox Pico and Luckfox Mini series development boards, if they have upgraded the hardware themselves to support Ethernet functionality, they also need to manually configure the device tree to enable wired networking for normal usage."
I have a Mini A and i have connected the ethernet wires
with ubuntu i can see the device on my Lan (but i cant use the camera)
with buildroot i can use the camera but i dont have eth0
i have recompiled the kernel with the modification of the rv1103g-luckfox-pico.dts file (enabling the gmac with okay)
any help?
thanks

Hello,

This sentence means that since Luckfox Pico and Luckfox Mini do not have a network port, some users want to use a wired network and solder the wired network port themselves.

The Ubuntu camera is not available for the time being. For details, you can check the content of this post at viewtopic.php?t=22. After testing, using buildroot, eth0 can be identified when using a camera.
Note that when using Mini A, the corresponding device tree file is rv1103g-luckfox-pico-mini-a.dts, and you should make modifications based on this file.

i have connected my board with the ethernet cable like this

modified the kernel but no eth0 in buildroot

Hello,

I cannot see the connection diagram you uploaded. Please refer to the post to upload it: viewtopic.php?t=28
Make sure you modify the rv1103g-luckfox-pico-mini-a.dts device tree file, and only modify "disable" under gmac to "okay".

sorry

i have already modified rv1103g-luckfox-pico-mini-a.dts with okay on gmac

Here we test that by only modifying the gmac configuration based on the original image, the camera and network port can be used at the same time. Do you have any other operations?

Can you tell me the complete steps after modifying the device tree, and whether eh0 disappears completely or there is no IP after burning the buildroot image?

Thanks, now it's working...a very stupid error
