Joachim WibergUh, 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 Iโm building my own physical test rig with some SBCs Iโve got at home.
Hope it'll be a fun weekend project! ๐ 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! ๐ 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 โ 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 โenoughโ RAM and storage, and if the board has a built-in switch, that it is supported by switchdev.
mytwobits01Hope to soon share a blog post on how we've adopted and are now in progress to promote the #Banana_pi BPI-R3 to tier 1 status in #infix it's quite an affordable #SOHO switch/router and home gateway.
Infix?
Infix is a 100% YANG based OS for embedded (networked) devices that you can control remotely using #RESTCONF and #NETCONF
Amazing, my addition of DHCPv6 client support made it to Infix OS! Funnily enough, one of the regression tests I added for this was consistently failing on two of our HW test rigs. Turns out it was ... DNS. The clients tried to ping an fqdn where dnsmasq only returned an AAAA record. Things went smoother when I added a dummy A record ๐ (dummy = invalid IPv4 address).
