Realtek Drivers (Wireless/Bluetooth/Audio) #2
Comments
We have had mail correspondence, but why not talk here so others can read as well. People say that realtek provides drivers if one just ask, I have not had the time to try to get grub to load ubuntu live so I have not asked yet.

No reply? |
Nope, none at all. |
I fired off a similar email. |
Seems to be a dead end. I wish they would at least reply with a "no" though. |
Does this driver work? https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs (it is linked above). Some forum posts on bbs (arch linux) suggests that some people have gotten it to work. |
Can you link me? I was reading a few posts on BBS Arch earlier, most were about GRUB though. |
Post #12 at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185419 |
Thanks, I hadn't seen that link before. I missed it because I wasn't paying attention to different models. Done, added. |
@Manouchehri Have you tried to compile the hadess/rtl8723bs source code? |
Not yet. I've been using Windows 10 recently, but hopefully soon I'll get another USB stick that I can install Ubuntu or Debian on permanently. |
@Manouchehri Managed to install the WiFi driver that @z3t0 linked, and it worked. Just
|
Does Bluetooth work? |
@z3t0 Sadly not. And I only need bluetooth or touch to work to make the tablet any usable out of the house :P |
i see. recently ... im just thinking that i dont really need linux as i
dont plan on doing any real development on my tablet. windows 10 seems to
work really nicely as it fills in all the gaps in windows 8. If you have
not yet tried it I would recommend all of you to try windows 8 for atleast
a week as it works VERY nicely... especially if you delete the android
partition and use the full 32GB for windows. Also (not confirmed) it seems
as though you get an extra 6GB back by using windows 10 as the recovery
partition is no longer needed. I will confirm this soon and get back to you.

@z3t0 Yeah I tried Win8 for a few days, and then I also tried Windows 10 for a few months. They are okay, but I don't really care for them on a tablet. I would much rather have Ubuntu Touch. I am practically only missing GPU acceleration, bluetooth, touch and audio now. There are more things to be fixed, but those are not needed for me in any great deal. |
@Sigurd I guess ubuntu touch changes things quite a bit... :D On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 11:25 PM, Sigurd Bøe notifications@github.com
Thanks, |

Bluetooth would be nice, but I guess it's not really a must for me.
Good to know that WiFi works though.
@z3t0 My Windows 10 install has ~18GB free. BitLocker and SecureBoot
enabled too.

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt So it looks like we need a kernel patch for both Bluetooth and Touch, better figure out how to do it :P |
@Manouchehri @z3t0 Got bluetooth working with this https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bs_bt and a modification to the kernel. |
That’s great… Really the only thing preventing me from trying linux is the touch and that I don’t want to lose what I already have setup as I have no access to a USB Hub. Do you know if the device can boot from SDCard? last time i tried it seemed not to support it Thanks
|
@z3t0 Other similar devices can't however, its fairly easy to install GRUB on the internal flash and let it boot from the SD card. This is the USB hub I recommend, it has some limitations but others I've tried have been worse. You cant charge while using that mode on the usb hub that lets you go into the boot menu 😝 and you should not switch to another mode while running from USB. However I just install running on battery, there is no problem. Now the audio driver is a shadow over me, so I can close this issue. 😛 And also presumably I have compiled drivers for the touchscreen but I need to figure out where to put the firmware in addition, and what firmware file. |
There was 50% off on the Intel Compute Stick ($60) that runs this chipset. I ordered one, it runs Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, so maybe I can rip out some drivers or what not. |
@Manouchehri are you sure that its the same chip for Audio also? I cant find any documentation that says that this chip has Audio. Maybe we should open a seperate issue for the audio chip, I think it could be more productive. |
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254631 someone who got audio to work. I just reinstalled Windows to try and get dualboot into the guide, still looking for my microSD card. So I haven't tested this out yet. |
I coming bearing another goody hopefully this helps with Audio development |
@sigboe, is there way to install Ubuntu Touch from 16.04 repo without Android stuff? (i.e. LXC containers with drivers). Seems silly to use Android drivers (for graphics for example) that run via LXC and libhybris if in our case there is native ones. |
Has the audio device been identified yet? |
It's probably rt5640. If you want to test new audio driver, code is here https://github.com/plbossart/sound/commits/t100taf-5 UCM files is here https://github.com/plbossart/UCM/tree/t100-test |
@RussianNeuroMancer is there any way to check the audio device from windows? Device Manager shows a bunch of non-english characters... and there doesn't seem to be another way to identify it. |
@z3t0 try to check VendorID DeviceID: https://youtu.be/i6RLmrF8ups?t=30s |
I don't able to find Linux Driver for Realtek RTL8723B Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter. Any one help ? |
@akmalmasud96 See https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs if you haven't tried already. If that doesn't work, please paste the output of |
@Manouchehri I tested the rtl9723bs driver in linux mint 18.2, and it worked perfectly. I have the problem that the SD card is not recognized. And the sound is not detected, as if there is no sound card. What can it be? |
And Windows 10 Pro my sound card is: intel sst audio device (wdm) and realtek i2s audio codec. |
@Manouchehri @sigboe The batery but function, is necessary install the system of energy on linux. |

Finally , i got my wifi to work with kernel upgrade and wireless drivers audio isnt working |
Finally I got the wireless driver through the kernel upgrade. Linux kernel version 4.14.14. Wireless is working perfectly. Sound and https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Intel%20SST%20Audio%20Device%20(WDM) |
@mikehowe11 My processor is Intel Atom x5-z8300 @ CPU 1.44 Ghz |
There seems to be some recent work on a kernel driver for the wireless card, not sure about the audio one though.
