    @sfx2000 those GL-iNet devices are not bad. But not always cheap

     

    At around $ 3.39 used not bad as OpenWRT support was added earlier this year. 

     

    I use my own mesh firmware on them

     

    https://openwrt.org/toh/aruba/aruba_ap-105

    Hardware

    CPU Atheros AR7161-8C1A 680 MHz

    Flash size 16 MiB

    RAM 128MiB

    Wireless Atheros AR9220-AC1A, Atheros AR9223-AC1A

    Ethernet Atheros AR8021-BL1E 10/100/1000 PoE

    USB No

    Serial Yes

    Power: POE or dc jack

     

    or 

     

    Used Cisco Meraki MR24 between $ 10-20

    replace your kernel image and modules with this below ( i used the dock dtb also) 

      

    git clone https://github.com/Lichee-Pi/linux.git -b zero-4.13.y
cd linux
make ARCH=arm licheepi_zero_defconfig
make ARCH=arm menuconfig #add bluethooth, etc.
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules_install

    https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/884654/

    Note: /* The LEDs use PG0~2 pins, which conflict with MMC1 */

     

    The NIC leds dont light up but it works

    @guidol  check in your 'out' folder if any modules were built, you also need to copy them to your Lichee Pi

      

      INSTALL crypto/echainiv.ko
  INSTALL drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
  INSTALL drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.ko

    @guidol sure

     

    the led on the dock board will come on when using the dock dtb file (change it from the zero to the dock file)

    i had to compile another kernel 4.13 and replace the sdcard kernel with the new vmlinuz/initrd and kernel modules and add ifconfig ethx up

     

    Remember that the Ethernet leds dont light up !!! but the Ethernet still works

     

    Here are another Chinese forum and the notes

    1. sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

    2. Download and compile Uboot

    git clone https://github.com/Lichee-Pi/u-boot.git -b v3s-spi-experimental 
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- LicheePi_Zero_800x480LCD_defconfig 
    make ARCH=arm menuconfig 
    mime make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j4

    3. Download and compile Kernel

    git clone https://github.com/Lichee-Pi/linux.git -b zero-4.13.y 
    cd linux 
    make ARCH=arm licheepi_zero_defconfig 
    make ARCH=arm menuconfig #add bluethooth, etc. 
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules 
    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16 INSTALL_MOD_PATH=out modules_install

    The changes by "Squonk42" have been integrated into mainline buildroot something like two weeks ago. So if you checkout the current git, you can just build it.

     

    I also did something similar using the external layer feature of buildroot. This keeps custom changes separated from the "official" buildroot, so hacking is a bit more straight forward and migration to a new version of buildroot is easier. It's available at:
    https://git.h8u.de/Allwinner_V3s/buildroot-v3s
    I can also create a mirror on github if anyone is interested in joining in.

     

    I will check this out also as I had to make changes for the Zero Dock to get Ethernet working. (the leds on the NIC don't light up as the GPIO pins are shared with the 2nd MMC slot !!!) I also wanted to get U-Boot working on 1024x600

    Oh my ATOMIC Pi arrived, bit tricky to get power to it since it requires 5V (minimum 2.5A recommended) and supplied via the GPIO header pin. They charged extra for a break-out board.

     

    Also since Im not using the break-out board i dont have a power led...

     

    It came with a Lubuntu.

     

    Im busy installing Pop OS instead.

    I just recently backed the ATOMIC PI (Kickstarter) @ $34, but they will retail for $79 after backers got them

     

     

    Just waiting for it to be shipped to me, as it was only available for backers in the US

     

    Genuine Intel Atom x5-Z8350, 2GB DDR3L-1600, 16GB eMMC, slot for SD expansion,USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports,

    Fast dual band WiFI b/g/n 2.4 & 5GHz WiFi RT5572 IPX connectors on board,Bluetooth 4.0 CR8510 and

    Gigabit hardwired RJ45 Ethernet RTL8111G 

     

    It comes with a Kubuntu Linux Image.

    well, booting armbian was just more or less 'a joke'.. Don't get me wrong.. it works.. I would strip down an image quite a lot to make it usable for the v3s... But it would work under the sun8i family.. https://github.com/armbian/build/compare/master...chwe17:v3s

    (whereas the kernel-config is a left over from some funny ideas I had with this board.., just forget about it)

     

    But if you need the armbian buildscript as a lazy tool to crosscompile u-boot or kernel.. armbians current sunxi kernel works out of the box..  :lol: And debian stretch can boot from 64MB ram.. :lol:

     

    I don't know yet where it will end.. Likely that I solder SPI flash on it in the future.

     

    Yes, Im going to try add a 32mb spi flash myself

    I want just a basic ssh capable terminal nothing more

    didn't you call a challenge for the first one who gets armbian to run on a V3s some months ago? :ph34r::lol:

    got one on Christmas.. :P didn't have time to dig into it.. but well.. here you are.. Armbian booting from a LicheePiZero :lol:

     

    Does it make sense? not really.. :P but hey.. who cares.. it boots.. in less than 30 seconds..

     

    Looks like you only using serial console for output? No screen

     

    I used the zero-4.13.y kernel to get the Ethernet on the Dock working and want to also use a 1024x600 screen. It looks like the 40.20.2-sunxi kernel is missing the dts changes for to enable the Ethernet on the Dock
