I currently use Allo USBridge Signature, and it uses a chipset that is not properly (upstream) supported by the Linux Kernel. Does the RPI Pro use chipset not properly (upstream) supported by the Linux Kernel?
See chat on Ropieee about this problem.
Hi,
Some of you already have experienced that 2023.07 does not support the Allo Usbridge properly.
This is related to me updating the Linux kernel (“the beating hart”) to the latest LTS release, which does not support the chipset used by the Allo Usbridge in a proper way.
For people that aren’t experienced with Open Source and Linux specifically, I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible: the fact that this happened is a single responsibility of Allo. They deciced to use a chipset that was not properly (“upstream”) supported by the Linux kernel, and somewhat maintained a working driver themselves (“out-of-three”). That driver was included by my in the previous used kernel version.
That is no longer possible (driver is too much outdated), hence the situation.
For now it looks that Allo is not taking it’s responsibility. And although it is certainly not my responsibility, I feel for all those users of the Usbridge that used RoPieee over all those years and now all of a sudden are confronted with a not supported streaming platform.
So I’ve decided to maintain a release of RoPieee that is specifically built for the Usbridge (and contains the patched driver in a previous kernel version). You can find that build on RoPieee’s webpage over here
It does mean however that you need to reflash.
Hope this makes a few of you at least happy
