V2 device occasionally generating white nose - have to reboot
Posted: Wed May 21, 2025 10:49 am
I have an OP branded v2 device (pair of speakers on the front of extended frame).
It has been my trusty bathroom “Joggler” for many years - booting Avaya and then into SQPOS303 and then running as LMS player.
For a while it has been occasionally (3 to 6 times a year) generating loud white noise with the only way to stop it being to turn off the power.
I would like to try latest BirdsLikeWires Debian on it just to see if it behaves better but I want to use it via WiFi … which is a documented problem for this device.
I have found “broadcom-sta” stuff on GitHub
https://github.com/lll-project/broadcom ... README.rst
which also says that some distributions - including Ubuntu - include the prebuilt driver.
Is this driver usable with OF2 devices?
If it is still the case that it cannot be shipped with birdslikewires Debian … could a script be put on the device that downloads, builds and installs it?
