KotCzarny: the file is the same as the old brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt, but now it appends the model, so different models with the same wifi can use different settings
<KotCzarny>
pgreco, still needs the patching
<pgreco>
reading the patch right now

KotCzarny: I have several bpim1 (no +, so no wifi), but agreed that it looks like the bpim1+ should be have that patch
<KotCzarny>
yes, it should, as i've just compiled 5.3.1 and without that change wifi is not coming up
<KotCzarny>
fun fact, 1m from ap it doesnt even need antenna attached
<KotCzarny>
;)
<buZz>
KotCzarny: keep in mind that radios can commit suicide when there's no actual antenna connected
<KotCzarny>
buzz: could you elaborate?
<buZz>
the amplifier at the end of the radio will require a load on the output, the antenna provides this
<KotCzarny>
even with txpower 1 ?
<buZz>
lacking the load , it will still be amplifying , and could blow up the last steps
<buZz>
it's still risky, KotCzarny
<KotCzarny>
thanks for the warning
<buZz>
my ham buddies tell me to never ever do it
<KotCzarny>
gotta find the pigtail

Link Quality=68/70 Signal level=-42 dBm
<KotCzarny>
heh.
<KotCzarny>
still, that patch is just a workaround
<KotCzarny>
as the issue might lie deeper, i still see some i2c problems related to wlan0
<jelle>
KotCzarny: yes, wondering if that's up to date

<KotCzarny>
been a while
<jelle>
otherwise I'll have to look for an usb-otg dongle :p
<KotCzarny>
i think link in wiki should be updated
<KotCzarny>
because source repo of icenowys is much more recent
<KotCzarny>
so is al177's
<jelle>
KotCzarny: gonna compile that and see
<KotCzarny>
dont own the dongle, so please do
dddddd has joined #linux-sunxi
<jelle>
KotCzarny: well I mean the other option is usb an usb-otg dongle with a supported wifi chip ;-)
<KotCzarny>
ya
<KotCzarny>
recently i've found out that mt7601u dongle is best in regards of signal strength/sensitivity
<jelle>
interesting
<KotCzarny>
unless it's reporting fake numbers
<jelle>
just going to be used as a picture frame, so I thought I could finally use the old allwinner tablet I have
<KotCzarny>
but it was -65dBa vs -70..-85 of other dongles
<Mangy_Dog>
Is this the right way to do a cooling fan controller... making a bash script and using cron to periodically run the script?
<Mangy_Dog>
and would doing this cause little.... pauses in what ever im already working on?
<Mangy_Dog>
or would it be thread handled so its seemless
<MoeIcenowy>
jelle: I rarely update my kernel tree
<MoeIcenowy>
but I think I bumped it at 5.x
<jelle>
MoeIcenowy: ok, thanks :-)
<jelle>
going to first see if I can get an usb dongle working so I can see if X actually works well enough for the project
<MoeIcenowy>
I have a tablet with esp8089

xr819 is the only true wifi chip for a sunxi machine :p
<jelle>
MoeIcenowy: me too now :D
<MoeIcenowy>
dgp: oh don't mention this name!
<MoeIcenowy>
I will loss the sleep this night!
<dgp>
I still get PRs on github for the xr819 driver so someone must be using it..
<MoeIcenowy>
yes there're hardwares known to use it
<MoeIcenowy>
Orange Pi also didn't change WiFi chip on "LTS" ver of opi0
<dgp>
I thought they went with a realtek one instead but I just looked at their page and you're right.. ugh
<dgp>
just use an ampak module already

and what the best way to have my script start at kernal boot time? as a background service
<dgp>
you have a sunxi based C64?
<dgp>
If you're using a systemd based distro write a unit file

at least it builds (I do not want to touch the tablet now

MoeIcenowy: thanks!
<Mangy_Dog>
https://hastebin.com/esonasubor.rb so i made my cooling fan script... its currently sitting in /home/ what do i need to do to get it to start up at kernal boot up and stay running in the back ground as a service?

I think it's a bit beyond the scope of the channel (it not very sunxi/arm specific), but my suggestion would be to write a systemd unit file

Mangy_Dog: the correct way is to add the PWM fan as a cooling device to the thermal zone. and then Linux will always be managing the temperature
