Esp Thread border router not working with ethernet connection

Postby JoseAntonioMG » Wed Jun 12, 2024 2:49 pm

Hi guys, I have recently installed an Esp Thread border router kit with an ethernet connection (without wifi). I have cloned the ETBR repository: git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-thread-br.git
And I have enabled the options for ethernet (SPI) and disabled the Wifi option in SDKConfig;

I understand that the ethernet connection is working, however the web server is not working and neither is the ipv4 or ipv6 connection.

A month ago I was testing the same kit with a previous version of Esp Thread border router, and the Ethernet connection worked for me. Everything was going well, until I decided to update the esp32s3 firmware with a new version.

I cloned the repository again:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-thread-br.git

modifying the options in the SDKConfig file with the ones I had for the Ethernet connection, as I explained at the beginning. However, this time access to the web-gui did not work, nor did the device commissioner.

What could be wrong? the new version of the repository? Any settings in the SDKConfig file that are incorrect?

The WiFi connection works fine, even activating WiFi and Ethernet at the same time, both work, each with its own IP address.
By disabling WiFi, and activating Ethernet, access to the local network stops working, although the logs say otherwise

Hello friend, check again the Thread settings and the HTTP server option, because changing the wifi and ethernet connection settings where you disable and enable it unchecks the server options during this transition of disabling and enabling. You have to review and recompile everything again regarding the router board.
