LicheeRV Dock

  • Currently we have packaged an out of tree driver as DKMS package to support WiFi on the LicheeRV Dock. The driver has to be built on the board which takes ca 1h. This is not a good user experience.
  • With Linux v6.4 similar SDIO based WiFi chips have been enabled. It was explicitly mentioned that the RTL8723DS chip should work using the same code base.
  • I have send a driver module for the RTL8723DS upstream for review: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20230615142044.1357257-1-heinrich.schuchardt@canonical.com/

initramfs-tools

  • With LP #1983359 hardware RNG drivers are added to the initrd if MODULES=most.
  • I have prepared the SRU to Jammy. @schopin sponsored it.

Greenhouse

  • I have been reviewing several written interviews and a take home test as well as conducting an interview.
