I need to use my UT3S as an access point. Has anyone managed to make hostapd work on this device? I'm even wondering if the RK3288 chipset supports Master mode at all...

I'll quit trying when someone else jumps in, or sooner if I'm bugging you.
Anyway, I saw this over at the Radxa Rock2(RK3288/AP6335) site. My guess is you have already seen it. This was translated from the Firefly 3288 site.
OK. I'll get out of here now.
Good luck.

Hi,
with some luck I've found a link to a chinese page explaining how to enable AP for Firefly-RK3288 and with the help of google translate I've managed to make it work. Basically, it seems that a specific wifi firmware with support for AP needs to be uploaded. The firmware is not the same specified in the web page, but the procedure is the same. I'll also check the links you kindly posted and find the easiest minimal setup. I'll report here once done.
Thanks again!

I'm back on this, i.e. switching between "client" and "access point" modes using hostapd. I've managed to make it work, with with some problems here and there.
To enter AP (Master) mode:
Code:sudo nmcli radio wifi off sudo su -c "echo 2 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode" sudo nmcli radio wifi on sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1 up sudo hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf ... also need to configure a DHCP server here...
Code:sudo nmcli radio wifi off sudo su -c "echo 0 > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode" sudo nmcli radio wifi on sudo nmcli con up id euvic
Code:ugoos@Ugoos_box:~$ sudo nmcli dev wifi * SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY ugoos@Ugoos_box:~$ sudo nmcli dev wifi rescan ugoos@Ugoos_box:~$ sudo nmcli dev wifi * SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY

Hello bragma, Freaktab member peba seems to have a lot of experience with Linux on ARM. I believe he is the owner of the Bitkistl blog. He covers Ugoos over there pretty well. Maybe he will have an answer. Send him a PM, maybe he can help or point you to a solution.
I wish I could be more helpful.
Good luck.
