Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  Bleep said  Using the menus it should now be possible to attach a USB WiFi adapter to the OTG socket and eventually SSH into the operating system, which is Linux. (I haven't yet done this)


This page contains instructions for that, and much else beyond:

Hi Tom,
Thanks for that, I've now got a WiFi dongle & OTG, that works & have logged into ArkOS, all seems to be working fine, even has my editor (vi) installed ;-)

Hi Kevin,

Is that a (not so) subtle hint you'd like me to put my money where my mouth is and try to remember and document how to install MMB4L on the R36S ?

Best wishes,

Tom

Hi Tom,
If you can come up with a process that would be great, but don't put yourself out, I'm happy just seeing what it's capable of for now, I was going to build a WiFi dongle inside it for a start; but I'm happy to be a tester/guinea-pig :-)
Regards Kevin

I'll come up with something, but don't hold your breath as real life is exhausting at the moment.

Sounds fun.

Incidentally, did you (or Martin ?) have any issues with audible interference between the WiFi dongle and speaker ? I've found myself using an extra length of USB extension cable between the R36S and the dongle.

Best wishes,

Tom
