Using wireguard on VOXL 2
-
Hello,
I am trying to set up a wireguard tunnel on the VOXL 2 running SDK 1.2. The kernel version is 4.19.125. I cannot use wireguard because the wireguard module is not present in the kernel. I tried to do an out-of-tree build but did not succeed because I could not find the kernel headers using apt. Do you know what the best way to proceed here is?
Thank you!
Best,

AdityaIf the module you need does not have too many new dependencies, you could try to manually add it to the current kernel build 4.19 (default build instructions : https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-kernel-build-guide/). Some users have been successful at enabling or updating modules from a newer kernel version.
Also, we are working on enabling kernel 5.4 on VOXL2 (no ETA for release yet), but the functionality is currently very limited. If you wanted to test wireguard on kernel 5.4 I can check if we would be able to send you a system image for testing, but we would not yet support any SDK features at all at this point.

Aditya@achanana Btw we were able to use wireguard by building wireguard-go and running:
./wireguard-go wg0
sudo ip linkset wg0 up
sudo ip address add xx.xx.xx.xx/xx dev wg0
sudo wg setconf wg0 wg0.confThis way you can bypass the unsupported kernel version.

@smilon we're still working on it but slower than I had originally planned. we're using it on a feature light product right now without camera support, once we have camera support in place I'll try to get some preview releases in place, 'hoping' that's in Q1/Q2 but as an optimistic engineer speaking
