WiFi support on RockPro64 - tagyro - 11-19-2018

Is there a way to re-enable `sdio` and get the rockpro wifi/bt module to work on linux?

Last time I simply enabled sdio0, I got a kernel panic.
Not having enough time or skill, I just re-disabled it and got a USB wifi stick.
it's even more stable if you connect the ethernet jack to a wifi bridge device (I used an ASUS RP-AC56 repeater in "media bridge" mode).
wifi in linux in general is extremely hard, even with "supported" devices. ethernet bridge is the most stable way to go Big Grin
