openipc.gk7205v200-nor-fpv.tgz

[durgood]

I have gk7205v200 cam. I tested it with 8812eu wifi adapter and worked well before. I dont remember the fw version exactly but it was some months ago. After updating gk7205v200 with the latest firmware and installing 8812eu driver it doesnt work with this adapter anymore. when i type "lsusb" the adapter is detected. but "iwconfig" doent respond. i checked the adapter with ubuntu laptop and wfb-ng detects the adapter and it works.

This is now available, as of #133: a separate build, gk7205v200_fpv_8812eu, published as gk7205v200_fpv_8812eu-nor.tgz. It is the normal gk7205v200 FPV firmware with the 8812au driver swapped for the 8812eu.

It had to be a separate image rather than an addition to the existing one. Adding both drivers to gk7205v200_fpv was tried first and overflows the 8M NOR by 384KB:

- rootfs.squashfs: [5504KB/5120KB]
-- size exceeded by: 384KB

Two heavy kernel Wi-Fi drivers do not fit in one 8M image — every OpenIPC target that ships both is a 16M board. The split build has 96KB of headroom.

So pick the image by which adapter you have: gk7205v200_fpv for 8812au, gk7205v200_fpv_8812eu for 8812eu. The other four 8M FPV targets (gk7205v210, gk7205v300, hi3516ev200, hi3516ev300) have the same constraint — open an issue if you need one of those too.
