I have a more-or-less up-to-date installation of openvix on my solo2 .
The kernel/drivers date is 2019, but uname -a gives me
Linux vusolo2 3.13.5 #1 SMP Tue Jul 15 00:30:01 UTC 2014 mips GNU/Linux
3.13 is very old!
There must be reasons for persisting with such an ancient kernel (stability, I guess), but it still seems strange. There have been *many* security and stability improvements since then. Maybe the issue is compatible drivers?
