https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R7VmAeo3_LpFDQvYSEG9ymAC-DvaLt47

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_1.1.2_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-legacy-rockchip-rk3588_1.1.2_arm64.deb

Wifi card driver

To disable add it to the blacklist:

sudo bash -c "cat > /etc/modprobe.d/wfb.conf <<EOF
# blacklist stock module
blacklist 88XXau
blacklist 8812au
blacklist rtl8812au
blacklist rtl88x2bs
EOF"

Compile the driver from source:

git clone -b v5.2.20 https://github.com/svpcom/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au/
sudo ./dkms-install.sh

Installing WFB-NG

Using the "nmcli" command, we find out the name of your wifi adapter and substitute $WLAN in the place

git clone -b stable https://github.com/svpcom/wfb-ng.git
cd wfb-ng
sudo ./scripts/install_gs.sh $WLAN

and enable auto-upload

sudo systemctl enable wifibroadcast@gs

Channel configuration

sudo vi /etc/wifibroadcast.cfg

Copying the encryption key from an IP camera

sudo scp root@192.168.1.10:/etc/gs.key /etc/gs.key

and restarting wfb-ng:

sudo systemctl restart wifibroadcast@gs

Start WFB CLI

wfb-cli gs
