OpenWrt 21.02.2 is pretty stable, the even better part is it supports WPA3. Official OpenWrt 21.02.2 release directly work with VoCore2 SBC version, but for VoCore2 Ultimate version, we have some external devices need to be supported, so this blog and following blogs I will write down the process I patch OpenWrt 21.02.
There are three main parts:
- microSD card can not detect or read.
- ES8388 sound card can not work.
- DTS(device tree) need to update add 1,2 setting.
In my experience, microSD problem is mainly caused by default mmc driver who do not support cd-polling. cd-polling is used to scan the microSD card insert into the slot but not using card detect pin. Actually I have already submit this patch to 18.06 and 19.07, so I just need to copy and paste the patch to make it work on 21.02.
ES8388 sound card driver code is already in Linux system. For 19.07 I have a dirty patch. The better way is to write a simple clock control driver, and use DTS to setup it. For this version, I will try to make it.
DTS, this is pretty painful to learn because current tutorial is not very friendly for beginner. I will try to write another not that painful tutorial…
