Nope, no luck - I tracked down the history of the patch to github.com/igorpecovnik/hostapd … xdrv.patch
but again - it seems to be for a different realtek chip. Will post back if I stumble upon something!
I have rebooted my Pi may times and when the AP works, I have stopped and restart it many time and captured debugging output. I then compared that output with a failed attempt and the debug output of both working and failed attempts has the same output (with obvious address differences).
The only conclusion I can come to is that there is some cold start condition that makes it work and about 1 in 3 starts from cold it works, so there is some initialisation in the driver that is missing.
Thank you so much for your work on porting Volumio to Orange Pi! I am the owner of Orange Pi One and have tried several times to compile an image for it, but all attempts were unsuccessful. Tell me can I ask for a link to the finished image of Volumio for Orange Pi One? I am ready to take an active part in its testing and detection of bugs. Thankful in advance for the help! P.S. Sorry for my english.
Here are some images using the latest build of armbian mainline kernel 4.14.20 and Volumio from today.
Report orangepi specific problems here and I’ll try to address them.
AFAIK The OpiZero doesn’t break out the I2S connection pins, you needed to do some surgery on the board to break them out, and the new revisions of the board make that almost impossible as well. So I don’t really see the OpiZero being a board of interest for Volumio. Or am I wrong?
You are correct. I think the current best supported ones are the OrangePi Lite, One and PC as they are H3 based machines.
I haven’t yet don the PC because I don’t have one, but it should be here in a couple of weeks then I’ll add a commit for that model too.
pkendall64 , thank you so much. Everything works fine, until no bugs are detected during the test. There was a following question: it is possible somehow instead of the player mpd to make player by default mpv?There simply are streams of radio that are not played by mpd, and mpv players play without problems. It would be great if you could attach to the Volumio mpv player. Thankful in advance for the help!
