Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your prompt response and suggestions.
I’m happy to report that I have resolved the issue. The network connection is now completely stable.
The root cause turned out to be an incorrect device tree. I was using the device tree for the Verdin Development Board while working on an Ivy carrier board. This mismatch was causing frequent errors during peripheral queries (I2C, UART, etc.). My theory is that these errors were generating excessive interrupts, which in turn led to network instability, causing the pings to fail and the SSH connection to drop.
Once I switched to the correct device tree for the Ivy board, the instability disappeared entirely.
I use this post to change de device tree ETH2 on Verdin AM62 with Ivy Carrier Board
Because I discovered this solution shortly after your reply, I didn’t get to perform the tests you suggested (monitoring the serial console and setting a static IP), as changing the device tree fixed the root problem.
Thank you again for your support. I’m posting this solution here so it can serve as a reference for anyone who might encounter a similar issue in the future.
Best regards,
Gaston
