Issues:
=======
WiFi
----
The custom Radxa kernel provides custom code to support WiFi. However,
that code does not compile with GCC 12, which is the current default
version in buildroot. Hence, the WiFi kernel drivers are disabled, until
the issues get fixed (if ever). If they are desperately needed, one may
apply the following workaround, as long as buildroot still supports GCC
version 11:
1. Set GCC version 11, by adding the following line to
configs/rock5b_defconfig:
BR2_GCC_VERSION_11_X=y
2. Re-enable custom WiFi drivers by removing the following line from
board/radxa/rock5b/linux.fragment:
# CONFIG_WL_ROCKCHIP is not set
Rockchip FIQ Debugger
---------------------
The custom kernel used for this board features an FIQ debugger, which
can be activated by typing "fiq" on the serial interface. As this can be
annoying if a user wants to type these charakters and it is not needed
for most users, this board support disables the FIQ debugger by default.
To re-enable the FIQ debugger follow the steps:
1. In board/radxa/rock5b/rock5b.dts set the status property of the
fiq_debugger node to "okay" and set the status property of the uart2
node to "disabled"
2. Re-enable the fiq debugger module by removing the following line
from board/radxa/rock5b/linux.fragment:
# CONFIG_ROCKCHIP_FIQ_DEBUGGER is not set
