Daitaro Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hello all! I have a NanoPC-T4 and I'm currently using Android 8.1. I suppose I could flash Ubuntu to try this, but before that, here goes. I'm trying to use a USB 4G dongle with it. I get no recognition of the device. No RNDIS or any notification at all. Fresh install. Any ideas? Also, has anyone tried to come up with a method of root for android on this device? It's a super cool sbc! Thanks!

Probably support is missing in the kernel but with Android you are on your own. With Armbian ... you can rebuild a kernel or just tell what to enable: Stock 4.4.y https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rk3399-default.config Modern 4.19.y https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/kernel/linux-rockchip64-dev.config and it's enabled in the next version.

Check usb_modeswitch - many USB 3G/4G dongles initialize as a mass storage device (check lsusb and dmesg)... they do that for Windows and sometimes Mac for users to install the carrier's connection manager software and drivers for the dongle. https://linux.die.net/man/1/usb_modeswitch Each dongle is a bit different - some support serial over USB only, some provide an ethernet interface once the mode is switched over...
