Greetings All
I’m seeking the support if someone can guide me . to use Kernel 6.9 on my router …I didn’t try Mr.frank image before . usually i’m using OpenWRT system (where there is some lack of utilization with this system)
Kernel 6.9 images build by Dear /Sir @frank-w https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1A5S7_82Bg4EYxjzdQ5FKyBw9Qi2C3uK-?sort=13&direction=a
My Computer : Windows 11 ( I didn’t use Linxus system before )
My Router : Banana BPI-R4
Modem : Snapdragon X75 - Fibocom FM190W and Quectel RM551
I burned the Kernel bpi-R4_6.9.0 on SD but I tried to run it on router but nothing happened
I appreciate if you deal & guide me as beginner
Edit & Update:
Special Thanks to Mr. @frank-w. Really he spent most of his time to support this case to let 5G/4G modems work in Debian System / Ubnu system Kernel 6.9 — 6.10
