Do you have attached serial console on device (or just use hdmi monitor?) If raspbian works then it is not likely HW problem. That is the reason why I asked to share bootlog. So if you don’t have serial console just when board boots and over monitor type

```auto
journalctl -b

```

this should print kernel messages and provide some info. Can you pls also try to provide output of:

```auto
ifconfig -a

```

Which version of poky you’re using?  
There is already a topic [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/B+](https://hub.mender.io/t/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-b/57) which is same board as you use. Image from topic is tested on rocko, sumo and latest thud poky versions.  
Thanks.
