Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc

My kitchen board is ready for the new challenge… :wink:

Has anybody tried the newer TP-Link ax900 +bt with the Lyra and can confirm it’s working or it is better to stick with the older ac600 +bt?

I’m intending to use with Calculinux. I’ve ordered all the parts and just waiting for delivery.

Delivered today within EU for 20.25 euro…

In order too download without a already working wifi connection

Simple USB DHCP Configuration (Linux Host) - Internet Connection Sharing

No need for iptables and setting sysctl ipv4 ip forwarding

1. Determine the USB Connection name used for the Luckfox Lyra:

It typically wont be Wired connection 1

nmcli connection show

Wired connection 100 c57d31eb-bd98-365d-94df-60c2b875d4cc ethernet –

2. Apply shared internet connection:

sudo nmcli connection down "Wired connection 100"
sudo nmcli connection modify "Wired connection 100" ipv4.method shared 
sudo nmcli connection up "Wired connection 100"

3. Obtain a DHCP client IP for Luckfox Lyra

adb shell dhclient usb0

Setting LLMNR support level “yes” for “2”, but the global support level is “no”.

Shout out to benklop in the calculinux discord for helping me build amfora to browse Gemini Protocol, I think it’s a perfect fit for this little machine

Here my ad hoc solution for internal usb connector:

Screws replaced with bit longer, 10 mm round distancer made from transparent rubber pads. The only disadvantage is on/off button which is out of normal reach.

The USB WiFi is inside, note the green light. No modification on back case!

I’m working on devicetree overlays, which will provide a way to make changes like this. I’ll provide an example overlay with 100khz operation..

I haven’t personally tried the AC900 one, but I think it should work. It appears it should use the same aic8800 driver, but there are conflicting reports. I’m unsure if bluetooth will work - I’m going to do some more research on this..
