Hi everyone,
I've been getting up to speed on this thread and the previous channel (kernel 3.14). I understand @balbes150 's instructions for using different dtb's. I have several Android TV boxes that I'm trying out and I'd like to contribute the best I can, but I'm not so sure I have the best linux-compiling environment (building a kernel sounds like an arduous task, though I've never tried.)
I am particularly bent on getting WiFi to work on the 4.xx kernel for the x8 mini (which is very similar to the TX3-mini, whose dtb I have used.) It appears that the boot does not even attempt to initialize the drivers for my ssv6051 chip, even though I can see their config files in my /lib/firmware. On the 5.41 version of the firmware, it did work. Is this a simple fix? Can someone point me in the direction of how to recompile those 3.14 drivers for 4.18?
Perhaps an even more relevant question is: do I really need 4.18? I just want an OS optimized for my board and able to use wireless, Mali GPU, etc. I'm an image processing guy, so I'm making it do some intense things. Sometimes I associate the next major release as an optimization move...
