[Discord] <misty_cloud_> does reflashing just the spi flash image allow me to keep the ssd image?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <misty_cloud_> I ended up just reflashing everything including the ssd i was booting from
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <misty_cloud_> To be very honest, I am very new to linux as a whole 💀
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <itsmefeng> Hmm CH340 should work fine for rockchip 1.5mbps serial right? I'm getting a lot of dropped data though
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <itsmefeng> Swapped with a FT232RL and it seems to be ok now...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <random_anon_cesar> it's fine. everyone has to start somewhere
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <random_anon_cesar> just keep in mind that Linux doesnt have many guardrails compared to MacOS or Windows and tends to do exactly what you tell it to do (for better or worse) 💀

[Discord] <itsmefeng> Swapped with a (genuine) FT232RL and it seems to be ok now...

<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> can be unstable at higher baud rates from what i've seen, especially with many fake/reproduction chips being common
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <itsmefeng> As far as I can tell mine is probably genuine but can't ever be sure with AliExpress chips...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <itsmefeng> Waveshare's FT232RL board works fine though, so I'll just use that
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> they're weird chips, the FTDI ones just work better, but anything is an improvement over PL2303

[Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> I have some changes for the rk3588 chip in a DTS file `patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.14/dt/rk3588-rock-5b-plus.dts`
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> these changes get overridden , I can see that in the generated final DTS file under `build/cache/sources/linux-kernel-worktree/6.14__rockchip64__arm64/scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/arm64/rockchip/.rk3588-rock-5b-plus.dtb.dts.tmp`
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <stalkeruser_42750> what is the best place to have my changes so that they don't get lost ?

[Discord] <fightman01> Hi! I'm wondering if is there anyone here who has experience with modern Mediatek wifi especially with MT7925. I want to use it in AP mode on debian (armbian, kernel 6.15.1) with hostapd. I made a basic setup (2.4GHz, channel 1, 20MHz bandwith, HE) and it seems to work fine (giving around 130 mbit/s throughput) but after like 15-20 minites it locks to just 20 mbit/s and other dev <clipped message>
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <fightman01> ices can't discover the network anymore. The connected devices stays connected but after I disconnect for example my phone it can't discover the network anymore until a reboot.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <fightman01> This also happens under OpenWRT as well.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <fightman01> I would really appreciate if anyone could help me resolve this. Thanks in advance

[Discord] <menu> funnily enough this isn't even the first issue with this chip family i've heard of *today*
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> we don't have test results as failure rate is too high. i can help you only with the obvious advice - get a card that is proven to work. Best is Intel, but beware that AP could be locked down
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> can you verify if this bug also affects MT7925?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> not really and its also quite a big waste of time as basic functionality doesn't work
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> but ipv6 functionality ... this is odd
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <menu> do the automated tests not validate both IPv4 and IPv6? maybe that's something to look at adding?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> no, not sure if there is ipv6 enabled on that network
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> tests are pretty fundamental. enable, test, disable
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> i think testing AP would be more interesting to have before anything else
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <fightman01> Well I already tried a BE200 and yes the AP mode is a problem. I need AP mode 😅
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> Understand. Help us extend the script 🙂 and you can see which performs best. I have many wifi devices on and offline
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> And this is anyway distribution agnostic. If it works good with armbian it will work good alsewhere too. In most cases. We apply some fixes here and there that might not be mainline
