As this SBC has no HDMI fro GUI/display, you need a serial (debug) cable to see what is going on.

Pins 6, 8, 10

You are showing link-local IPv4 addresses. This dual ethernet SBC needs own custom action w..r.t. ethernet cables/connections, you need to understand that first. That is why the serial console cable.

You can also connect the GbE interface to your router, that one will probably get a routable local IPv4 address then so you can reach it from your PC.

Else use OpenWRT, it is dedicated router and should give an IP address to your PC. But you need to read docs still.
