Lamentable support for Orange pi PC2

PedroJimenez

Hello
Anyone know how to contact the people responsible for this repository ..?

http://dl.miniboard.com.ua/OrangePi/OrangePi-PC2/

I downloaded the image ... but it does not work at all ...

Debian_Server_jessie_PC2_V1_11.img

Who responds to this ruling ...?

I need an image that has integrated in the Kernel Driver rtl8192cu .. I do not use any other driver .. and until now I have not found any official or unofficial image that this driver.

Compiling the kernel with this driver rtl8192cu is IMPOSSIBLE, I have been trying for 3 months, but nobody gives me support, which is embarrassing, I am sorry to buy a system for which there is NO support

Who can solve these problems ...?

If I can not find help, I will not buy any product from Orange pi ...
It is unusable.

Hi,
Did you try to compile it as module?
I found this page explaining how to do that.

Still under development but:
- 8192cu should work. If not with in-tree driver, you can blacklist and easily build it out of the tree. Out of the box. IIRC this source is fine: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu
- it's supported but not for personal needs. If you need that: https://www.google.com/search?q=hire+linux+kernel+expert

Thanks for the answers
Actually with the previous driver does not work, neither in Armbian nor in Ubuntu, I will try again with the driver that you indicate to me, although I think I already did ..

I'll keep you informed..

Thank you

Now I do make install, strictly following the installation instructions:

@orangepipc2:~$ cd rt8192cu
@orangepipc2:~/rt8192cu$ sudo make install

install -p -m 644 8192cu.ko  /lib/modules/4.11.1-sun50iw2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
install: cannot stat '8192cu.ko': No such file or directory
Makefile:601: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 1
@orangepipc2:~/rt8192cu$

And as you can see it returns an error: can not stat '8192cu.ko': No such file or directory

At this point, I suppose you need to compile the Kernel ...
But nobody notices it, no one, no place, no programmer, no support, no one.

Hi Pedro, i also was trying to get some stable OS for opi pc 2, but the best I could do was the Android OS + kodi (100% stable for mediacenter stuff) ;) hope it helps! Bye
