Subject: Failing to get link up with ENC28J60 + Beaglebone

Hi

I’m evaluating ENC28J60 for a new design, so I’ve got myself a module from ebay and verified that it works perfectly with Raspberry Pi.

Now I’m trying to get it to work on a Beaglebone (Beaglebone Green Wireless). After some struggles the device tree seems right and I’ve checked all signals (CS, MOSI, MISO, CLK, INT) with an oscilloscope and it looks perfect. SPI max frequency is set to a low value: 100 kHz. The driver is loaded and the device is detected and after boot I have an eth0 interface. But I can’t get it to link up state.

I’ve now enabled lots of debug messages and first thing I noticed is that the hardware revision (EREVID) is consistently reported as 0x3C. I’ve not seen any mentions of hardware revisions above 7 so that looks suspicios. Do you think you could help me there? What is the expected EREVID?

I’ve seen other people having trouble with ENC28J60 + Beaglebone on the web, but I’m not ready to give up that easily...

Here’s output of enc28j60_dump_regs:
