Ethernet not found while ethernet cable is pluggedd in

Question

I am running AGL (more about it here) image on Raspberry PI 3. I want to send application files from my laptop (where i build it and which has stable wi-fi connection) to the raspberry using scp. What I try to do is to connect raspberry with the laptop using ethernet cable. My laptop shows that wired connection (bot no dhcp automatic IP is assigned) is set however raspberry board only has yellow light but no green.
I am using screen to access raspberry with serial console and when I boot an image it says no ethernet found.
ifconfig has following output in raspberry:

raspberrypi3:~# ifconfig

Here is info about wired connection from the laptop on the screenshot below

How do I get my raspberry board to detect ethernet connection?

After changing static IP of laptop to match PI's static address pingng PI from laptop returns destination host unreachable. For now on laptop:

enp8s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 168.254.141.10  netmask 255.255.0.0  broadcast 168.254.255.255
        inet6 fe80::c18:cd6b:db:db62  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether e8:6a:64:0e:48:27  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

        TX packets 71  bytes 7194 (7.1 KB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

On PI:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr B8:27:EB:00:BD:64  
          inet addr:169.254.141.12  Bcast:169.254.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

The Pi and the laptop are on different networks. I suggest setting a static address in the 192.168.8.0/24 subnet on the Pi. You'll need to use one that hasn't been assigned by the DHCP server on your network.

Alternatively, since it seems that the laptop's address was set manually, you could set an address in the link-local network (169.254.0.0/16) on the laptop. Possibly all you need to do is click that "link-local only" button.

The first two or three numbers in the IPv4 address must be the same for two computers to communicate without routing. Wikipedia has an explanation of subnets.
