Joachim WibergJust in time for the weekend SinoVoip delivered both casing and an LTE module so I can pick up the modem branch of Infix OS again! 🎉
I know, I’m such a geek, but I really do believe in this little project to eventually replace #OpenWRT
Work in progress ... with the BPi-R4 support merged to Infix OS, it's high time for new cool features! 😎
Might have the best gig ever? I now get paid to read IEEE standards AND implementing them 🤩
Next stop for Infix OS before we maybe go visit a conference is to add 4G/LTE support (I know, but that’s all we can afford without corporate backing). Today we got access to the source code one of our customers use, so that should speed things up considerably 😎
I’m also working on the first WebUI but it’s slow since I’m no expert. Maybe it’s like they say, slow and steady wins the race?
Uh, spent the entire day debugging a random issue that only ever happens on our physical test rigs. None of the virtual (Qemu w/ qeneth) ones show it. Wasted the entire day on various theories so tomorrow I’m building my own physical test rig with some SBCs I’ve got at home.
Hope it'll be a fun weekend project! 😃 I also have another Banana Pi router board to add support for in #infix but that's background work and shouldn't be that hard since all of the device tree and driver work has been done already upstream.
Oh, and we merged Banana Pi BPi-R64 support today! 🎉 It's a bit older but still very capable, not to mention affordable little router.
Banana Pi BPi-R64 Support
Infix now supports the Banana Pi BPi-R64, an affordable WiFi-capable router board built around the MediaTek MT7622 SoC. Although it predates the BPi-R3 and uses an older chipset, it remains a capable and cost-effective platform — especially for anyone already running one or looking for a compact router board with a familiar Banana Pi form factor.
On a mission to improve our blog, today I added some more bells a whistles to get post preview on social sites. Let's try it out here!
Infix Compatible Boards
Much thanks to the solid foundation curated by Buildroot, Infix can quite easily be ported to any system that supports Linux. The only real hardware requirement is “enough” RAM and storage, and if the board has a built-in switch, that it is supported by switchdev.
