** Cubietruck_Debian_3.6_jessie_3.4.107.raw : old image , not download today

boot: OK

update : OK

 

but wifi en mode hotspot don't work

if I write in /etc/modules file

 

bcmdhd :  I can't see my SSID with my wifi device

or 

bcmdhd op_mode=2  : dont load the module

 

If the bcmdhd module is not load and I execute the commande 

"modprobe bcmdhd op_mode=2"

and start hostapd, I can see my ssid with my wifi device

 

** Cubietruck_Ubuntu_3.8_trusty_4.0.4.raw

[3.628018] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier: not a ISO3166 code

~3 minutes ...

...

ssh start/running, process961 

wait and nothing

 

Have you a solution for me please ?

I'm sorry my english is bad, 

My Linux is better, but not excelent!!!

 

 

 

when the message is : 

Cannot Display This video mode

 

connect with ssh 

edit /boot/boot.cmd

 

change resolution in ligne : 

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait rootfstype=ext4 sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=1024x768p60 panic=10 consoleblank=0 enforcing=0 loglevel=1

 

execute 

mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

 

reboot

an is OK. 

If not ok, move the resolution : 1024x768p60 by less

OK, some quick tips:

v3.7 jessie image is broken due to some systemd changes. I saw too late. 3.8 is boots ok - at least with network attached. I haven't tested without for a while. On new kernel there is no output to serial console by default.

 

loading with

bcmdhd op_mode=2

 

works with wheezy and trusty but not jessie

 

4.0.4 different module

brcmfmac. It should work ... I haven't tested with 4.0.4 but with 3.19.x and it was working w/o problems.

 

If you want a proven configuration, stick to Wheezy with kernel 3.4.x

 

Video resolution. I'll go down with default one or made some other solution.

 

Waiting for 3min might not be enough. I am doing apt-get update at first boot. 

OK thank you

 

I tested with Cubietruck_Debian_3.8_wheezy_3.4.107.raw

with ssh connection , I moved resolution and execute mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr 

upgraded system

 

network config 

ip_forwarding 

install dhcp-serveur 

 

I see my ssid since my wifi client 

But not connetced, i think is not hard , i find it.

 

Thank-you for your help

I find my problem and I write a article for hel in french 

 

see you and thank's

My default example configuration is meant to work with /etc/network/interfaces.hostap where wlan0 and eth0 are connected to a bridge so wlan0 AP clients are geting a dhcp from the main network - from your router.

Ok it's work yesterday night

 

my hostapd.conf needed bridge=br0 instruction

 

I don't saw you configuration exmple in /etc/.

I saw in /etc/hostapd, is empty

 

Thank you for your work and your help
