    That is a great resource regarding wireless modules. This is not that easy as drivers build into the kernel can still have such problems. In fact, those drivers are build into, just by Armbian. TBH i didn't look closely enough to see which drivers are actually in use. It is also possible to have different drivers for the same device and then you block one or another. Where is "at the end" ? I am exploring Unix / Linux systems and hardware for 30 years. And the more you know, the more you are aware how little that is. There are many things that can go wrong. Stay open minded.

    Meetings to support development of: https://github.com/armbian/configng @sgjava @D-mo @joekhoobyar @Ameer Dawood @esanya and anyone interested in some bash coding! Lets move things further! Once we got it moving, it will get a lot easier.

    Raising issues is reserved for project contributors that are planning to work on issues. End users can't raise issues to maintainers. They spot a problem on forum and open a task. Or not. This is amateur development. We use ticketing system to tell you what we did https://docs.armbian.com/Release_Changelog/ in hope that someone will notice our efforts. To clarify few things: stable images are generated every three months. Stabilisation is extremely expensive and nobody else is providing that service. Little above 0% is compensated by "you" and cold 0% by HW vendor. It seems everyone is happy if images are just built and provided for download. To satisfy this need, we are generating rolling releases, every week all boards, supported or not supported, gets their images with latest code. This costs us perhaps few hundred per month, while providing stable images costs 1000 x more as includes manual and automated testing, fixing problems, testing, fixing, writing documentation, coordination ... For most interesting and WIP devices, we also provide images per code change. This system is maintained by team private resources and with help of unselfish community actors, partners.

    This is not a very long term solution as this kernel is (more) security hazardous, contain bad code and is only maintained by Hardkernel. We want to get rid of it as soon as possible. In fact we already did - we don't promote it anymore, but one can still build an image with. Fixing WiFi (your initial problem) is super super tiny compared to all problems that comes with legacy kernel and will never be fixed vs. modern kernel. Its always a trade.

    This week meeting topics: 1. Checking the progress of Armbian-next define upgrade path adjust communication strategy 2. Moving development related topics to GitHub how, when, how to communicate 3. Questions around upcoming release Today is the code freeze. Sent out announcement, asks for testing Different starting hour!!! General goal of weekly meetings: To discuss the three (3) issues of the week Discussions will be documented to respective Jira tickets so they can be tracked Three (3) new issues will be selected from Jira for the next meeting The purpose of a weekly developers meeting is to coordinate development of the build engine, continuous integration, operating system features and low level support. Meetings are hosted located on Zoom (Video) and IRC and Discord (Text). While we would prefer you attend on Zoom when possibly, we will also monitor text chat during the call for those unable to join Zoom. Please RSVP either way. Do you want to participate or help in some way? Meetings are focused in developers top level topics and its expected that understand embedded software development, software testings or operating system management. In term of programming languages, knowledge of at least BASH & Python is expected. Since meetings are held in public, any registered community member can join and listen. If you want to suggest issues for the next week, you have to be recognized Armbian contributor. If you want to become one, resolve at least one intermediate level issue and tell us something about you. This is needed to efficiently communicate and to give you access to our organisation infrastructure Jira, Github, hardware lab and servers. @Contributor/Maintainer

    You can build legacy kernel image with the same old kernel and if you stay with old private kernel 4.9.y, it will work. Everything else (modern true Linux mainstream kernel) is problematic as drivers needs constant adjustments when kernel versions goes up. We have a lot of expenses doing that ... https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/ This is not Armbian versus Hardkernel but fixed private kernel provided by chip maker that was adopted and used by Hardkernel to be able to sell hardware vs. clean and professionally maintained Linux kernel code. Quick info: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-hardware-feature-xy-work-in-old-kernel-but-not-in-more-recent-one This is just a top level tool. If driver doesn't work, it won't show anything here. Your wifi key is recognised as a block device.

    I don't work on technical support. Like I said, such functioning was not predicted in design. Its not exactly a bug as it was not planned. In case you need some assurance that someone will look into ... but as this is open source, anyone can add and test functionality you need.
  8. Igor
    You mean you pull out SD card and move it to the next it fails? Not sure if we ever tested this scenario. I don't known any amateur user that would need such feature.

    This is crazy. I have several Opi3 and they all work, while people reporting "WiFi doesn't work". Please provide everything what you did, which image you are using, how do you trying to connect and provide full logs.

    No, that is not possible since untested packages won't be shipped. If you pay time wasted for testing, why not, but that you ofc didn't have intention. You expect I pay that for you, right? We don't have any budget for manual or automated testing of this feature. Its a suicide & waste of time mission from this project perspective. If you wanna play, download sources, build and test. It is no way to cover expenses for your wishes. If you can't wait few days or weeks that upstream automation provides you next version, you need to build from sources or find 3rd party PPA / repo that contains this. No other way.
  13. Igor
    You are pointing to some sources on Github and asking me how to compile this? The answer is: "I don't know without research". Since you need this, you will need to find out. This has nothing to do with Armbian or me. You want to run version that is not provided as package and there is nothing I can do for you. I will ask developers that I will hire with your help to do this for you. I don't have time to deal with this, sorry. Our current system relied on a person contribution that recently passed away. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/23643-armbian-uefi-arm64-and-x86/#comment-158066

    This you need to ask them.

    If dkms package is already installed you need to run dpkg-reconfigure zfs-dkms in order to force module recompilation. If missing ZFS modules is a problem.

    (without providing complete logs we anyway don't know what you are talking about and there is not possible to provide any help. This below is a guess what you are doing wrong.) After you download images, de-freeze firmware upgrade. In command shell: sudo armbian-config -> system -> De-freeze (enable Armbian kernel upgrades) exit sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade Reboot and wifi must works. It works perfectly fine for me: https://paste.armbian.com/nolizanone With such hardware - pay attention to the wifi chip / version: If you are not having LTS board containing this chip, you need a different image: Click: https://www.armbian.com/orangepi3-lts/ Read: "Images for non LTS version can be downloaded here"

    This is the config: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rockchip-rk3588-legacy.config How: 1. https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Options/ KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes 2. Enable and save 3. And copy generated config from output/kernel/ to the build system Then make a PR https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-pull-requests
  18. Igor
    Fixed at source. (not all mirrors are in sync ATM so it still might show up for next couple of hours)
  19. Igor
    Thanks! If someone has time to integrate this to Armbian standard install tool: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/usr/sbin/armbian-install https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-nvme-usb + packing sata spi bootloader within u-boot package (this part is a bit tricky as blob has to be provided and packed via custom UBOOT_TARGET_MAP) https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/sources/families/rockchip-rk3588.conf

    It might not work at all as PD is borked on this hardware.

    Should run better following this merge. Will be pushed to stable repository once tested - you can try by switching to nightly beta repository (armbian-config -> system).

    Index is syncing 24h later to avoid "file not found" when adding packages. We rarely remove packages ...
  25. Igor
    Yes, we even want to provide x86 Armbian ISO image + preinstalled all what is needed even our build script takes care about environment and install what is needed. TL;DR; Most of people, our CI, are cross compiling as its a lot faster due to lack of serious arm64 hardware.
