Solidrun has updatet their microsoms to v1.5.
MicroSOM rev 1.5 Wifi: 802.1 b/g/n - 2.4 / 5 Ghz, single or dual MIMO with Bluetooth V4.0 (TI Wilink 8 WL18xx)
http://wiki.solid-run.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=imx6:microsom:docs:sr-usom-mx6-pcn-20160915.pdf
This is from the solidrun website:
Make sure that your kernel .config has the following enabled either as modules or statically part of the kernel, in order to build the TI WiLink8 WiFi drivers - CONFIG_WL18XX=y CONFIG_WLCORE=y CONFIG_WLCORE_SPI=y CONFIG_WLCORE_SDIO=y CONFIG_WILINK_PLATFORM_DATA=y CONFIG_WL_TI=y # CONFIG_WL1251 is not set # CONFIG_WL12XX is not set The firmware is typically searched under under /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl18xx-fw-4.bin directory in your root filesystem. The firmware is loaded when the interface is activated 'ifconfig wlan0 up' so there is no race between initializing the driver before the root filesystem is mounted.
And then there are new dts files. I have attached them. They are from the solidrun kernel 3.14 git source. https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc
Is it possible, that you can adapt them and add these changes to one of the next armbian versions?
I have tried it to do a patch, but when i launched the image with vanilla 4.10. I have got no HDMI output.
