Fourdee Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hi all, Creating a DietPi image for BPi Pro based on ARMbian. I finally got a chance to test do_expand_rootfs() from /etc/init.d/firstrun. Now works with multiple partitions, thanks for doing that Having an issue with the onboard WiFi on the BPi Pro (Lemaker). It appears to be enable, active and ready for use, however, I can not get it to scan/connect to a SSID, or even work in AP mode. Built the image using your excellent build tools: [ o.k. ] Building [ Armbian 5.17 Bananapipro Debian jessie default ] root@DietPi:~# iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results Fails to set country code.

Igor Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 We could have mixed up something around firmware on recent firmware rework - AFAIK the rest is unchanged for a while. I am unable to check / out of office.
Fourdee Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 We could have mixed up something around firmware on recent firmware rework - AFAIK the rest is unchanged for a while. I am unable to check / out of office. Thanks Igor. When you get back into office , please let me know if you need any additional info, and, if there are any tests I can run to help debug.
Igor Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Unfortunatelly, that won't be soon You will need to test this on your own. My first and only hunch at the moment is trying to load the driver with stock / firmware from some older image, perhaps from this pack: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/next/bin/linux-firmware.zip

Thanks Igor, i'll try it out.

Igor Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 With small changes which were done recently and are not yet properly documented (sorry about that). It actually might have effect on this. - linux-firmware-image-sun7i + armbian-hostapd-jessie armbian-tools-jessie armbian-firmware Files in repository are around 3 weeks old so no warranty that this is fixed but worth trying.
