Hello all!
I was planning to use my RT-AC56U as a serial debug bridge for an Odroid board which is close by. I hooked up a USB cp210x adapter into its USB port, but it seems that support for it was not included in the kernel:
Since I noticed that AC56U is getting discontinued in newer releases, I'd like to ask to be pointed in the direction of the following information:
1. Are there packages with extra modules that can be downloaded directly?
2. Are there instructions on how to compile the kernel/extra modules? I plan on getting only the cp210x module and insmodding it myself, without replacing the kernel. I'm guessing the kernel only changes rarely, since it's 2.6.x
Thanks!
