SixFab 4G and Tinkerboard

[SecureXperts]

Hello

 

Currently my SixFab 4G hat is not working with the 4.4.x Kernel but with the latest 4.19.y Is there any chance that you port media script to the new Kernel build?

 

Many Thanks

If you need Video Decoding support, you'll have to wait until the whole thing is ported and stable.

If you need GPU support, then you can just grab the mali drivers from Rockchip and use them with recent kernels.

 

The Debian package for the rockchip drivers is here : https://github.com/rockchip-linux/rk-rootfs-build/blob/master/packages/armhf/libmali/libmali-rk-midgard-t76x-r14p0-r0p0_1.6-1_armhf.deb

 

Or, you could do something like this, if you don't want play too much with random Debian packages :

mkdir -p ~/.local/lib
cd ~/.local/lib
wget https://github.com/rockchip-linux/libmali/raw/29mirror/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmali-midgard-t76x-r14p0-r0p0-wayland.so -O libmali.so
for file_to_link in libGLESv1_CM.so{,.1,.1.0.0} libGLESv2.so{,.2,.2.0.0} libEGL.so{,.1,.1.0.0} libgbm.so{,.1,.1.0.0} libOpenCL.so{,.1,.1.0.0} libwayland-egl.so{,.1,.1.0.0}; do ln -s libmali.so "$PWD/$file_to_link"; done
echo "alias mali_launch=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:`echo ~/.local/lib`" >> ~/.bashrc

Here is by far the simplest solution I think:  on your 4.19 kernel type

and figure out what your usb 4G modem looks like.  that device is obviously supported in the mainline kernel config, it might be available in 4.4 but simply not enabled.
