        EXFAT is still not in the kernel. It also seems that the building process is broken, so I can't implement it. Please check.

        Best regards,
        Peter

          append this to file arch/arm64/configs/coolpi_linux_defconfig , compile kernel and install to /boot/firmware

          CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y

                can we get some updated instructions in general? The repo on the first page doesnt seem to be the current one, and every build i do from the Current one doesnt seem to boot on my laptop.

                  @Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.

                        Thanks, 11 debian booted. Because this is an old image.

                          @mainbord Debian 13 is also working, but no EXFAT support in the kernel, so it's a little bit inconvenient copying files (e.g. my Camera is using EXFAT) or making backups

                            @petersen77 i got around this with installing exfat-progs and exfatfuse i think, after installing i needed to create a symlink like this "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.exfat-fuse /sbin/mount.exfat"

                            https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607949/cannot-mount-exfat-even-installed-exfat-fuse-exfat-utils-in-kali-linux

                            but yeah being able to compile the kernel or have this and some other features (vpn, filesystem encryption) in the kernel from the beginning for example would be better
