Bug ID: 15071
Summary: RTL8723BS library is outdated
Product: buildroot
Version: 2022.02.6
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Outdated package
Assignee: unassigned@buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: alirezatm@ymail.com
CC: buildroot@uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---
Good day, It seems that the RTL8723BS library in the buildroot settings
accessible by "make menuconfig" and "make linux-menunconfig" is outdated and
hasn't been updated for a long time
In the "~/buildroot-2022.02.6/package/rtl8723bs/rtl8723bs.mk" file, I saw this
line:
RTL8723BS_SITE = $(call github,hadess,rtl8723bs,$(RTL8723BS_VERSION))
which means that it's fetching the library from
https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs which as you can see is not being updated
anymore and is extremely outdated. For example it doesn't respect the changes
to the timer done in the 4.15 kernel
I tried lowering my linux kernel version in the "make menuconfig" settings as a
compromise but this library still won't compile. Tried and failed with kernel
versions 4.11, 4.12 and 4.14
The kernel itself seems to have an up-to-date driver for it
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/staging/rtl8723bs) but I
don't think we can access it via buildroot
Is there any chance to fix this library? Thanks
I've attached my .config file if it helps

So you can access and configure Linux by issuing: $ make linux-menuconfig and then you can find RTL8723BS driver. But take care because it needs some CONFIG_ to be enabled: CONFIG_STAGING=y CONFIG_WLAN=y CONFIG_MMC=y CONFIG_CFG80211=y CONFIG_MODULES=y To find these informations you can search "rtl8723bs" in linux-menuconfig(as well as in Buildroot menuconfig) by typing "/" and there it will be shown the "depends on" and what it "Selects". This way you should be able to have the driver built.
