Zero & ENC28J60

[Gerry55]

Hi to all
I have a Pi Zero running Openelec, would it be possible to use one of these ENC28J60 Ethernet Development Controller Board
instead of WiFi, seeing that I ordered one first then thought about it!

It depends whether OpenELEC uses a stock kernel and device tree. The ENC28J60 stuff is in 4.1.xx kernels.

Looking at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=211501&page=64 I would say that it is indeed included.
Adding the magical line to config.txt should be enough.

Thank for the reply
That’s good news.
What magical line do I need to add and were do I find the config.txt please?

/boot/config.txt (or edit it directly from another computer. on a Windows computer you should see the file when the SD card is inserted)
See https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... t/overlays (or the README file in /boot/overlays on your Pi):

Code: Select all

dtoverlay=enc28j60

Thanks to all
I will give it a go tomorrow if the ENC28J60 card arrives.
