Have a look at this post regarding kernel build.
You will have to locate the relevant commit in https://github.com/150balbes/Amlogic_s905-kernel to get the correct version of 4.18.7 kernel source. As well as cross compile, you can also compile natively and either binaries seem to execute for me.
As an aside, I'm running 4.19.7-aml-s9xxx and  config-4.19.7-aml-s9xxx has CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO=m and ftdi_sio.ko has already been built, if that's what you are looking for (assuming you have the correct .dbt which activates your USB ports).

 

Thanks @dbsharpe

 

I'm trying the first option and actually I found the right kernel release where you  pointed me to .

Second option is getting me crawy, I cannot find any combination of dtb and kernel version that will make my USB ports reckognized since kernel 4.19.

I guess it is a known problem.

[Armbian for Amlogic S9xxx kernel 5.x]

Hello all,

 

I'm new to the forum. I have a beelink gt1 ultimate (real 3GB). 

The version with the latest kernel that works for me is 5.60 with 4.18.7 Kernel and Ubuntu Xenial.  I want to use this tv box as Home Automation server. 

I need ftdi_sio driver. How can I compile the module as a ko ? I have installed all the toolchain in a Ubuntu Bionic VM but I do not have the 4.18.7 Kernel (the only proposed ones are minimu 4.19 (default; dev and next).

@balbes150, from where are you getting the sources to compile with the right armbian version ? Can you give the 5.60 sources in one of your repositories ? 

Thanks in advance and happy new year to everybody
