Hi Igor, I tried using armbian-config . It downloaded hostapd and hostapd-realtek but it could not configure it as an access point . Do you suggest any dongle for my application(low bandwidth , only for short distances , access-point) . I tried the 2$ Ralink adapter and TP-Link WN722N . This time maybe I'll buy something other than Realtek

Hi guys, I am trying to use TP-Link dongle WN722N v3 as an access point . I am using Nano Pi Neo Core EMMC with expansion board running Armbian Buster with Linux 5.3.9-sunxi . The device can detect wifi signals nearby as seen on nmtui in managed mode . I followed the instructions on https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=25472&sid=84d2b8f1e7ad477e9907591eb7fb030d to configure as access point . However , I get an error every time like this . root@Cyborg:~# nmcli connection up HotSpot ifname wlx503eaaa2df7b Error: Connection activation failed: Connection 'HotSpot' is not available on device wlx503eaaa2df7b because profile is not compatible with device (the device does not support Access Point mode) Output of dmesg | tail -n 20 on inserting the dongle .

I am really confused . Is it a kernel issue ? My main intention is to use some GPIOs using Wiring Pi and run an apache webserver on it . I want to use the dongle to serve HTML pages over a hotspot . Any help is appreciated .

Hi, I am trying to interface I/O expander MCP23017 to Nano Pi Neo2(Hardware specs:1 GB RAM, Gigabit Ethernet . Software specs: Debian Buster with Armbian Linux 4.19.59-sunxi64 ) . The issue I am having is I am not able to see the device when I run sudo i2cdetect -y 0 . I have enabled i2c overlays in /boot/armbian.txt . I am using 10 K Ohm pull-ups on SDA and SCK . I get no activity while running i2cdetect on the oscilloscope on SCK and SDA lines . Is this an issue with the kernel ?

Hey guys I'm new to the forum . I wanted to install Wiring Pi on my board but it seems I need to do apt-get . I have a wired Internet connection but I'm not sure how to set up the DSL connection on my Orange Pi One running the Jessie Desktop version . On an OS like Ubuntu , I generally have to select the DSL connection and enter my username and password . Any help is appreciated.
