You can tell if your Starter Board is version 2 by looking for the number 30015102-02 on the top-layer screen printing near the CONSOLE/POWER connector.

Impact

If your Starter Board is version 2 but U-Boot reports it as version 1, Ethernet does not work in U-Boot.

Fix

Download the latest released images of Digi Embedded Yocto and follow the procedure to program the firmware into the device. The latest U-Boot version reports the Starter Board version correctly and Ethernet works normally.

To fix the issue in source code sync your installation with the head of the release branch as follows:

cd /usr/local/dey-2.0/
repo init -u https://github.com/digi-embedded/dey-manifest.git -b jethro
repo sync -j4 --no-repo-verify
