gerrysweeney Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hi Zador.blood.stainedOk that would make sense then I am not really a Linux expert so I dont think I could do anything to help, I will have to wait for a future image build that works. Thank you for your response. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrysweeney Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hi, I have installed the legacy image (rather than the bleeding edge) and I now have working WiFi and UARTs. Thank you for your help Zador.blood.stained Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Greul Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I was able to get it working by following the Raspbian instructions. It works just fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zador.blood.stained Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 "Raspbian instructions" ? How Raspbian can support AllWinner XR819 chip ? Probably some generic userspace related instructions like setting up /etc/network/interfaces. Allwinner specific stuff like xradio kernel module should work out of the box and doesn't need any instructions in stable leleases AFAIK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Greul Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I should point out that NMTUI may do everything you want/need. So you may need to only run that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
