Oh, don¹t take everything so seriously. Robert has more patience than anyone I know and he has a lot of work on his plate so you need to provide details of your equipment, distro, kernel version, board version, what you have tried, the output of your console log, etc. It doesn¹t help to say nothing works. The more details you provide, the quicker someone can respond with a solution.
