Linux for RK3188 based TV boxes

type dhclient eth1 to set address for eth1 or
edit /etc/network/interfaces and add 2 lines:
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

and then restart
About wifi - how do you know it is not working? You need iw and wpasupplicant packages in order to make it work, so after connecting to lan, type apt-get update, apt-get install iw, wpasupplicant
then type iwconfig and see if you have wlan0 card listed.

My USB-LAN adapter works now. Thank you.

Wlan0 is available. Does it mean the rtl8188eu module is properly loaded ?
I may need to configure wlan0. I will let you know.

I got this error

root@rk3188:~# iw list
nl80211 not found.

This is what I get from iwconfig

I am not sure if my wifi module is loaded properly or not.

[mmm123]

it is, type:
iwlist scanning
or run
modprobe mac80211
and then use iw

[aruangra]

It seems to work (see below). I plan to set the MK802iv as an access point which needs nl80211. This is the output. Do you have any advice? Thanks.

I fixed USB boot and other things, now I am testing it and will post new images soon

Is it possible to include the wireless tools and the wpasupplicant in the build so that those with only wifi networks can have a decent chance of getting the their cards online?

[aruangra]

Could you please also add the FTDI usb serial module (ftdi_sio) ?And any hope on making hostapd work ? Thank you.

[mmm123]

Version 1.1.0 updated on forst post

I posted new version, with some fixes
- Some cleanups in kernel
- booting from USB should work now
- Debian has wireless-tools and wpasupplicant installed
- Added ubuntu as install to nand option. It is still not working perfectly, but i hope some ubuntu experts will help to fix it.

Recovery image is not working, I am still researching why. If someone has expierence with recovery images, please help. For now i can say, that it is not working same way as on 3066 devices.

[mmm123]

Just posted recovery image

Off in the kernel configuration .config (paranoid android), or will not work online.

What is the problem you found to make the recovery? If I can help only tell me.

[mmm123]

Recovery is working now. Problem was, that kernel command line should be build into the kernel, not into recovery image, also kernel had to be uncompressed, compressed kernel didn't work.
