This is build script issue tracker. Report and discuss here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/linux-sunxi and/or https://forum.armbian.com/forum/4-development/ Not everything works yet in a modern kernel: https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix

motaz9k commented 6 years ago

I understand, it's a shame because I have to choose between ble support* and a working lirc module only in kernel 3.4

*bluez requires at least a kernel 3.14 to support bluetooth low energy

igorpecovnik commented 6 years ago

Well, that is certainly not our fault. LIRC should work on a modern kernel, but I can't tell why it is not working. I would first try in stable builds (our NEXT, 4.17.y atm), not the latest mainline, which comes without 100+ patches ...

motaz9k commented 6 years ago

excuse me, I did not say at the beginning that I've tested all the builds

igorpecovnik commented 6 years ago

Please use forum(s) and provide as much useful data as possible. Than things might get resolved.

Here is just not right place.
