#No Network Activity Lights on Pi 5 with HAos

This is my 1st Home Assistant build, and I am learning a lot. However, I cannot figure out why the activity lights at the ethernet port stay illuminated and do not blink with activity. It's really bugging me.

  • Raspberry Pi 5 /8GB
  • running off M.2 SSD
  • Latest HAos

Does this have something to do with the firmware changes at installation? I cannot find anyone having issues similar to mine.

I want to check the config.txt to see if eth_led0 or eth_led1 is set .

However, since I am running HAos off a M.2 SSD on a Pimroni controller board. I don't know where this file would be since there is no /boot mount.

There is but it's not accessible from inside an addon. You need proper SSH access or use a keyboard and monitor.

# findmnt -T /mnt/boot/

Did you install findmnt via apk? I do not see it in bin.

violet sand
#

No. It's part of the OS and the addon also has it.

# command -v findmnt
/bin/findmnt

But like I said, you cannot run this directly in an addon. Please read the last two messages above again.

For some reason, the parameters for Eth LED control in config.txt are not being recognized during the boot.
eth_led0 --- Is the left Green LED
eth_led1 --- Is the right Amber LED

``
dtparam=eth_led0=9
dtparam=eth_led1=1

                            0 = Speed/Activity: Indicates both the connection speed and activity on the Ethernet port.
                            1 = Speed: Displays the connection speed only.
                            2 = Flash Activity: Blinks the LED to indicate network activity.
                            3 = FDX: Shows whether the connection is in full-duplex mode.
                            4 = Off: Turns the LED off.
                            5 = On: Keeps the LED continuously on.
                            6 = Alt: Alternates between two states, possibly for diagnostic purposes.
                            7 = Speed/Flash: Combines the speed indication with activity flashing.
                            8 = Link: Indicates whether there is an active network link.
                            9 = Activity: Indicates network activity only (flashes during data transmission or reception).

Other configuration options are working after boot.
