I also tried the reverse order of wiring on the breakout with no success either.
I tested continuity from BPI pins all the way to connected network cable on the socket and continuity was fine without any shorts.
I am stumped at this point. Does someone have any points or things to try to get the ethernet working properly?
Hi and thank you for your help on this. I hope it will be helpful to anyone facing the same issue.
To be honest I gave up trying to make the Ethernet work for the intended purpose as a PiHole server under Ubuntu 20.04 and repurposed the Zero as a Klipper server for a 3D printer using Armbian where the WiFi is plenty enough and it works perfectly for that.
Hi,
I’m struggling to get the ethernet connection going MPI m2 zero. I noticed that you could activate eth0 and I wonder how you did that. I don’t see such a possibility in armbian-config. I’m running Armbian_23.5.0-trunk.231_Bananapim2zero_bookworm_edge_6.2.16.img
