Adding the edge kernel to Rock 2F/2A

[D roZDi]

Armbian image placed on internal soldered eMMC 64GB - only one issue now aic8800 not supported yet by kernel 7.0-rc6 so no wifi 😕

No PCI as no PCI slots... also no HDMI... Experimental image based on Kwiboo repo dispo here.

apply this patch for a working wifi:

 

diff --git a/extensions/radxa-aic8800.sh b/extensions/radxa-aic8800.sh

It is not working with this patch because offcially AIC8800 is not supported in kernel > 7.0-rc6 plus in my image Wifi was initially disabled

With new image it is better:

 

 

I made a small fix to make it running with some commands as root:

```
# unzip AIC_FIX.zip
# mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/aic8800
# cp aic_btusb.ko aic_load_fw.ko aic8800_fdrv.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/aic8800/
# depmod -a
# cat /etc/modules-load.d/aic8800.conf
aic_load_fw
aic8800_fdrv
aic_btusb
# cp -r aic8800_fw /lib/firmware/
# cp -pr aic8800_fw/USB/aic8800D80/ /lib/firmware/
# modprobe aic_load_fw
# modprobe aic8800_fdrv
# modprobe aic_btusb
# lsmod |grep -i aic
aic_btusb              57344  0
aic8800_fdrv          626688  0
cfg80211             1200128  1 aic8800_fdrv
aic_load_fw            86016  1 aic8800_fdrv

```

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please also remember as it is experimental and all you do it is on your own risk

 

HDMI is not working and we need some code first, I guess for this part: CONFIG_PHY_ROCKCHIP_INNO_HDMI_QP
