Hi Shen

 

I have N1 and also from China. Here's the solution for N1 bluetooth & network-fix（kernel 4.18）

N1 dtb file

BT，with my experience，the Armbian 5.44 kernel 3.14-20180729（use balbes150's original dtb） works very well with phicomm-N1

 

Cheers

This means the kernel driver for this PL2303 is not part of this image ...

Here's a good news, the PL2303 works flawless with the 5.62-20181012 kernel.

root@Yangly:~# grep PL23 /boot/config*
# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303 is not set

Hi balbes150

 

Thanks for your great job!

 

I tried the 4.18.7_20180928 kernel, both debian & ubuntu, there is a bug: the PL2303 usb can not working.

 

I use lsusb, it shows PL2303 connect. But when I use Dmesg, the end of lines show nothing with ttyUSB0

 

BTW the PL2303 works very well in Armbian_5.44_S9xxx_Debian_stretch_3.14.29_server_20180729
