Debian on RN104 (2 replies)

Hi,

I'll start by saying im not an expert at Linux (my main experience comes from using raspberry pi's)

I have installed Debian on my RN104 but im having a couple of issues with it.
I used this guide: https://web.archive.org/web/20230909154806/https://www.katerkamp.de/howto/osinstall/rn104-d-i.xhtml
but I installed bookworm instead.

I keep getting buffer overruns on the ethernet which slows down transfers alot and systemd-journal churns out tons of messages causing high CPU usage.
If I use wifi on the client side its not as bad but still has lots of overruns and is still slower then stock.

I've tried lowering the MTU but made it worse and I'm a little hesitant to start messing with the network as its a headless device and dont want to lose SSH access.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also want to be able to use the LCD or at least turn off the backlight.
I see an entry in the DTB for Aux Display but dont think its setup as theres nothing in /sys/class/ although there is a 'backlight' entry but:

cat /sys/class/backlight/value
returns:
cat: /sys/class/backlight/value: No such file or directory

I can see other entires listed in /sys/class/gpio & /sys/class/leds but they seem to be for the disk indicators and power buttons.

I found this post:https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?9,133864
which relates to the LCD but i'm using a different system.


Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,
Jungle
