Re: LINUX Install

Thanks for the reply - I already had linux-firmware installed, but was never able to see the wifi adapter until I manually downloaded that file (this seems to be a common gap with some Broadcom chipsets according to some Google hits). roddie@automation:~$ apt list | grep linux-firmware WARNING: apt ...

Re: LINUX Install

I'm wondering if you can provide the chipset or manufacturer's name for the BT and Wifi interfaces?

If so, I can try to document the driver installation process for Ubuntu and post it for the community either in the Forums or on my blog.

Thank you!

Re: LINUX Install

GK1 vs. GK2 and availability

Hi there, I'm thinking about buying a GK1 or GK2 soon (maybe during Prime Days) and I have a couple of questions: 1) What is the difference between them? The old comparison pages seem to be gone, and the most I can find is "GK1 is module 1 and GK2 is module 2" which doesn't really help exp...

Re: AK1 - Headless, problems rebooting without HDMI

Thank you! Unfortunately, I am not running Windows on the T8 - It is running Ubuntu Server 20.04. Is there a different way to flash the BIOS?

Re: AK1 - Headless, problems rebooting without HDMI

Me, too, but it would be interesting to know why the T8 can't boot without an HDMI monitor connected to it. This was a new purchase just a few days ago.
