Dear loboris, please add kernel support arduino mega 2560 or usb to serial ch340.

I also found a issue with alsa driver. The AV/Headphone jack is not working. No audio from the jack.

Tried pyhoca-gui 0.4.0.8 and your Lubuntu image, I got error message like below."Incompatible SS ...

Try tu use the latest pyhoca-gui (0.5.0) or x2go client.
I think that i've tried that MT7601 source and it cannot be compiled for kernel 3.4, I'll check again.

The ordered OV5640 wasn't shipped immediately, so after some thinking I've decided to cancel the o ...

@ loboris : Please kindly, send me shipping address on pm and I will send you one. From Poland you will get it in 2 days

. We are very intrersted in forcing this module to work properly. What kind of chip is installed on those camera modules you currently use?

I haven't tested it yet.
Wath is your intended use for GPIO interrupts ?

Hi Loboris!
For the control systems always have to be able to control GPIO transition from 0 to 1 or vice versa without a pass to this event.
Moving can be very short, simple survey GPIO to do is not possible.
You also need to have any timer interrupt vector which has precedence over the Highest World OS.
It is necessary for processing real-time processes.
It can be done?

It can be done, but you probably have to write kernel driver for it (user space interrupts are possible, but I don't have any experience in it).
When I need something like that, I'm using small external microcontroller board (Atmel AVR XMEGA) connected on UART, I2C or SPI.
I think it is much better and more powerfull approach, it costs only 3-5 US$.

loboris, help please, I wanted to compile, but in the Assembly there is no kernel source.

The driver for CH341 USB->Serial is in the kernel sources, I've compiled it and I'll upload it tomorrow.

Hi Loboris,
I'm new to this forum, just got my OPi, have installed the debian & ubuntu dists from page 1. I'd like to offer my services, especially when it comes to getting a good video driver for the mali GPU working. Where should I start? What tools do I need to install? How do I do builds?
If you can point me in the right direction I'm happy to help.

Hi Loboris,

Did you try any wi-fi usb dongle with your kernel/modules?
I noticed few messages in the forum about not working wi-fi dongles, I experience same problem.
I tried Lubuntu 1504 and Ubuntu Mate 1504 with latest kernel and modules on my new OPi PC, but unfortunately wi-fi modules couldn't load firmware although firmware is in correct place.
Could you please have a look at logs, maybe you have any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I have two wi-fi usb dongles. Logs for first:
