Bluetooth is supported, but Wi-Fi is not working.

I just spent some time testing my s905x3 generic box with the NO nightly build (sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit). Its a x96 max+.

Initially wifi wasn’t working.

The NG seems to use the ar6k_wlan driver for QCA6174.
The NO seems to use the ath10k_sdio driver for QCA6174.

So there needs to be proper implementation for QCA6174.
The ath10k_sdio driver is fully implemented in NO but just missing the correct firmware files, these firmware files can be found here: QCA6174 « ath10k - kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

I have no idea how the coreelec team wants to implement these firmware files to the correct place or how they want to go about it, but maybe @Portisch can be helpful here.

If you push the firmware files to /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*
Then ‘rmmod ath10k_sdio’ & then ‘modprobe ath10k_sdio’ (to reinitialize the driver)
You will have working Wifi!

To make this semi permanent for the time being (until it is properly implemented in the nightlies) you can do this:

  1. copy firmware files to /storage/.config/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/
  2. create /storage/.config/autostart.sh and chmod +x that file.
  3. Put this in autostart.sh:
  4. #!/bin/sh
cp /storage/.config/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/
rmmod ath10k_sdio
modprobe ath10k_sdio
  5. Save & reboot

Any ideas on this front? @vpeter

I ported the driver from the rockchip repo, didn’t need much changing. It loads but doesn’t do anything I only get:

[ 18.768735] [SKWSDIO INFO] skw_sdio_scan_card: sdio_scan_card

And then nothing, nothing about firmware, no wlan0 etc.

@vpeter What source did you use for the driver?? I really want to try to get it to work.

256

My source is this https://test.coreelec.org/vpeter/ea6x21qx.tgz

257

Jean0987654321: only firmware files are missing? Whole ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0 folder?

258

Yes the whole folder didnt exist I believe

259

Thanks I will take a look today!

260

Btw: this was my build function

make_target() {
kernel_make -C ${PKG_BUILD}/ea6x21qx
M=${PKG_BUILD}/ea6x21qx
KERNEL_SRC=$(kernel_path)
skw_bsp skw_wifi
}

Also had modules-load.d\ea6x21qx.conf with content skw.

My package: https://test.coreelec.org/vpeter/EA6X21QX.ZIP

Thanks! I have absolutely no experience with the CE build system.
I just cross compield outside of CE with CE LLVM against CE kernel, i made a repo here for the driver with my makefile: GitHub - daeiron/ea6x21qx_driver: SeekWave EA6x21qx wifi/bt driver
Your driver seems newer then the rockchip one.

Can you maybe tell me where I should put the package and which files I have to edit in CE source? Then I can share a complete package for people to test.

I am now testing with my modules and the firmware from android in a one hour iperf test. Bluetooth doesn’t work unfortunately, but wifi seems good so far.

BTW: Where did you find this driver source? I can’t seem to find anything online besised the rockchip driver.

Thanks!!

As @daeiron said, yep. The folder isn’t there

263

So here is a test build for x88pro X5M with WiFi: Mega Download Might be buggy.

To install (must be on Coreelec-NO already)
Place Tar file in STORAGE/.update folder.
Place Modules and Firmware folders in STORAGE.
Palce autostart.sh in STORAGE/.config

If there is some interest I might develop the driver further (source: GitHub - daeiron/ea6x21qx_driver: SeekWave EA6x21qx wifi/bt driver). Testing would be appreciated.

I think bluetooth wil never work, initially it wouldnt even come on but I hardcoded a start of the bluetooth service in the driver and it shows up in /dev/BTCMD, /dev/BTBOOT etc just like in android. But I can’t attach HCI too it. I think android uses a blob (libbt-vendor-seekwave.so) where the kernel/userspace interaction is handled and I have no access to its source.
It may be possible to overhaul the driver but thats not within my capabilities.
Its easier to just buy a 5$ dongle.

BTW: I saw the QCA6174 firmware is now incorperated into coreelec thanks to @vpeter. So CE-NO WiFi should now also work with x96 Max+ (from the next nightly on).

I saw the update. It may have worked with that device but not for mine @vpeter

Same here with my Vontar when I updated to Piers Alpha.

I get the same output you provided originally when I run the commands.

Hoping for support in the future?

I’d love to be of help getting bluetooth working on the Ugoos X5M Pro. I can provide logs, dumps, files, etc.
