Measy U4K and B4K upgrade to 4.2.2 with CS918S firmware

[ADD]

Ok, waiting for the news.

A31 SDK 3.2 Kernel source (Jelly Bean)

U-boot source (sun6i included)

I've built a kernel with RTL8723as support but buggered if I know what to do to test it! Also no idea what else I need to include.

Maybe elektrik can give us a clue?

Hmmm ... there is this entry in build.prop:

ro.product.rtl8723au=use

This is amazing. I ran several times through build.prop and never catched this line. Will look at it again this evening. In your sun6i file I could not find any insmod command for 8730au wifi module, only bt. Why is this?

Because it is compiled into the kernel

Changed ro.product.rtl8723au=use to ro.product.rtl8723as=use and rebooted. No love

I got some help from another ROM developer, Guessyet, who has provided me with an env.fex that he thinks will at least do the 1080 desktop. I don't know how to flash just the env so I've rebuilt the full image and am uploading now. Should be up in about an hour. I'll edit this when it's done.

1080 Cs918S firmware

Good, thanks. Frankly speaking, my first priority is to get wifi to work.

yepp, I agree but this is all part of the learning. I'm now looking at bootargs in config.fex as the possible source of the 'overide' to script.bin.

I'll keep chipping away until we get there

I've built a kernel with RTL8723as support but buggered if I know what to do to test it! Also no idea what else I need to include.

The "A31 SDK" only seems to have build targets for the sun7i (A20) rather than the sun6i (A31) cpu. So I'm guessing these are pointless as A20 is Mali400 SOC

[ADD]

Holy crap, I just learnt that CS918S has the same bloody 8723AS chip!!! So, I cannot figure out why it would not work on U4K that has exactly the same wifi configurations

Different gpio then. Have you seen anything on GPIO?

Where can I find it?

Don't know that's why I was asking if you had seen it anywhere
