L5 Crimson image testing thread

Haven’t had a chance to try on Crimson, but I know Byzantium does not have the needed package versions for it to work.

Interesting. I seem to have it. Starts up fine, although I don’t have any idea if it otherwise works as I don’t have any visual voice mail to test it with. Are you using byz backports or no? Anyway, this seems like a question that should be in that thread.

That was quite the tip, thank you.

It seems we have gotten a new update news posted (January). Nice to see progress and steady communications:

No new image to test (as of yet), though.

Just copy to /etc/firmware/brcm/ the next files:

BCM4362A2.hcd
brcmfmac43752-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43752-sdio.clm_blob
brcmfmac43752-sdio.txt

The files from LibreELEC looks like the right choice, other links work not so stable for me.

I will create a .bak of the originals before attempting this. Maybe it will be good and I won’t have to remove that status.

So SparkLan BT should be a bit more stable with it then? I always had issues with the SparkLan module dropping bluetooth connection to smartwatches. Also was a pain to pair to any vehicle as well.

It is difficult to say… The difference is not so big, but my personal opinion that LibreELEC a little bit stable (at least to listen music by BT headphones). So, it would be interesting to get your feedback :slight_smile:

It should be noted that there is no official FW upgrade neither from Purism or SparkLan…

Partly why I started a thread for third party Wifi/Bluetooth modules and WWAN modules.
