Ok, I added the modifications to the overlay and issued a pull request.

Just in case anyone cares: Turning off power save by iw dev wlan0 set power_save off is not permanent. It is enabled again after a reboot. So, to permanently disable powersave for wifi, I did the following: 1. modify /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf [connection] # Values are 0 (use default), 1 (ignore/don't touch), 2 (disable) or 3 (enable). wifi.powersave = 2 2. created a new udev-rule: /etc/udev/rules.d/10-ap6255-wifi.rules KERNEL=="wlan*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off"

@Benno Eigenmann Thank you for that hint. Internal AP6255 WiFi is now pretty usable for the console once power_save is turned off.

@martinayotte Ok, new image is up and running: AP6255 Wifi works, however somewhat flaky. Ping times are normal for Wifi, but when I type it takes some time to show the characters. USB3 Ethernet is not being recognized in dmesg nor does it show up in lsusb USB Wifi can scan, however it does not let me connect, complaining about a wrong WPA2 Password. update: just switched to the nightly built via armbian-config. Update to 4.18.11 went successful USB Wifi works now, USB3 Ethernet still not recognized

It finished: [ o.k. ] Writing U-boot bootloader [ /dev/loop0 ] [ o.k. ] Done building [ /home/data/build/output/images/Armbian_5.61_Orangepilite2_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.18.10.img ] [ o.k. ] Runtime [ 16 min ] Too bad I have to go now Will report later

@martinayotte Thank you! It compiles now. I'll be away the next couple hours so can't try it out immediately. I'll post my results later today when I'm back.

I just tried to build a full bionic image, but it exits complaining about i2c: [ o.k. ] Looking for user patches in [ userpatches/atf/atf-sunxi64 ] [ warn ] * [l][c] enable-additional-regulators.patch [ failed ] [ warn ] * [l][c] set-rsb-to-nonsec.patch [ failed ] make: *** No rule to make target 'drivers/allwinner/i2c/sunxi_i2c.c', needed by 'build/sun50i_h6/debug/bl31/sunxi_i2c.o'. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... [ error ] ERROR in function compile_atf [ compilation.sh:66 ] [ error ] ATF compilation failed [ o.k. ] Process terminated

I can test as well if you provide me a link to the image. Or is it in the build now and will be incorporated when I create a new image?

In my case, I can forego HDMI and would prefer the latest kernel instead.

Same here. I am using an external USB3 - Gigabit Ethernet (ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet) with no issues so far.

Great, thank you very much!

The ubuntu images boot, but wifi does not. First I tried the 0923 nighly, then upgraded to 0926 last night but wifi does not show up. I found nothing related to AP6255 nor Broadcom in dmesg. I will try the latest debian later today.

Since nightly builds are now available, what else do I need in order to enable ap6255 wireless?

Well, this is probably beyond my skills, but if you tell me where to start or send me a patch or modified kernel, I can try it out and post the results. Since the AP6255 is supposed to be the same chipset as used in the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, there should be some documentation available?!

Hey guys, I just compiled and installed v5.56 (Armbian_5.56_Orangepilite2_Debian_stretch_next_4.17.14.img) and am really pleased to see USB3 working now! Thank you very much! So, what is needed to bring the AP6255 SDIO Adapter to live?

... I just noticed that this thread is Pine H64 related, so I moved my post to an own topic at

Which still leaves my questions unanswered...

Well, I have the original case with the expansion module. If I had a printer I wouldn't have asked :-)

I need to attach some devices via spi and i2c to an orange pi zero but would like to keep it in its original case. Just soldering a few wires to the gpio pins and drilling a hole in the case isn't really an option. I am looking for a nice and clean way. Browsing through AliExpress looking for connectors has not revealed any suitable options so far. I already thought about adding an 2.54mm 2x26 Pin Male Double Row Right Angle Pin Header and cut a suitable hole to the case but I guess it would protrude too much. Which connector do you recommend? It should have at least 4 contacts. Has anyone modified the case and added some small connectors? Photos? Looking for your suggestions
