RSS Bot Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Description A user from the forum reports that a new rockchip rk3288-based board Tinkerboard S R2.0 has no wifi (see discussion here). After some talk, it seems that this board revision uses a Realtek rtl8723ds chip, whereas the R1.01 board uses rtl8723bs. This PR enabled the rtl8723ds wifi module that curiously was previously enabled in kernel 5.15 but somehow has been disabled in the advancement to 6.1. Current and edge kernel on rockchip family are both on 6.1 right now. The board actually is in a limbo where probably much of the design is shared with regular Tinkerboard/S, but other differences are unknown. Enabling a kernel module to let wifi work is a relatively straight and simple task that makes an user happy. Jira reference number AR-1619 How Has This Been Tested?
