[solved] rpi4 aarch64 networking

[Schlunze]

Hello,

can someone give me a hint to get systemd-networkd working in alarm aarch64?

What ive tried so far...
added module pcie_brcmstb in mkinitcpio.conf
chroot sd card / pacman -Syu
delayed start of daemon with /etc/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service.d/override.conf

nothing worked, i cant set up network with systemd-networkd in alarm aarch64.

thanks in advance for your help

Im not sure if this is hw or sw issue, maybe it is a user issue
Have anyone systemd-networkd with static ip @ eth0 running with aarch64 image?
Kernelmessages contains many network errors "..ethtool: autonegotiation is unset or enabled, the speed and duplex are not writable..."

I have it running on the current image:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Linux ###### 5.8.9-2-ARCH #1 SMP Tue Sep 15 00:48:59 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux
')

In the directory /etc/systemd/network/ I deleted all files and replaced them with /etc/systemd/network/eth.network

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Match]
Name=eth*

[Network]
Address=192.168.0.220/24
Gateway=192.168.0.1
DNS=192.168.0.1
')

After the reboot everything works as expected

thank you manti. Just for the record, you used the rpi4 image from
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz')
not the generic alarm aarch64 right?

eth0.network looks right
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
Address=192.168.2.7/24
Gateway=192.168.2.1
#DNS=10.1.10.1
DNS=192.168.2.1
')

Hello Schlunze,

You are right I use ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz and you obviously use ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz

Can you show us the output of the following commands:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
systemctl status systemd-networkd
')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
networkctl
')

manti7

Hi, looks like i messed up something. After reinstallation
of ArchLinuxARM-rpi-aarch64-latest.tar.gz systemd-networkd
work like expected.

Thank you manti
