Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

Hello,
I contacted the vendor, unfortunately he couldn’t provide me with the files, he said that he are just working for android drivers, not for linux.
I’ve reproduce the issue that I’m having and this is the log: http://ix.io/3wST

To describe the issue: I want to connect two ps3 controllers for gaming, ps3 controllers need to connected via mini usb cable and then disconnect in order to be recognized via bluetooth, so I do that and works fine for the first controller, but second controller doesn’t work following the same steps, also, when I reboot the system, the first controller is not automatically detected when I press the scanning button on it, so it seems that the bluetooth drivers are not to stable in Matrix_rc3, at least with the x96_Max_Plus2_T device.

Read on internet I’ve found this github repo; GitHub - winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware: Repository for various Broadcom Bluetooth firmware</tit

On that the owner said that " Some Bluetooth controller (for example, BCM4354 and BCM4356) are integrated to WiFi chipset. These devices requires two kinds of firmware - first for WiFi, and second for Bluetooth. Without WiFi firmware Bluetooth will not initialize and will not work properly. Firmware for WiFi already included to kernel, but you may need to do additional work to place correct NVRAM."

Thanks a lot, will keep collaborating

They are the same.

hi and hi all,
how can you make the WiFi work with these? And where are these files available?

I have a working x96max plus and I bought another this spring, I wanted to install it for my mum, but WiFi doesn’t work. Bluetooth wouldn’t be necessary. I’d like her to be able to stream youtube videos over Yatse to the device.

As I see, the issue isn’t sorted out yet…
Is there a way to have just working WiFi?

Thank you very much in advance.
PS. I haven’t been able to test LAN, but that wouldn’t be an option anyway.

Implemented Wifi driver BCM4354

I installed this matrix version and didn’t help :frowning: WiFi/connections were still empty.
What can I do? :frowning:

Ask crystal :crystal_ball:?

Hello,

I’m still ask my vendor to share with me the drivers of the X96_max_plus2_T, but they are hard to get.

I’ve done a dmesg on the stock system of the box and this is the log: https://file.io/ziFgaBpc1p47
Also, I’ve adb pull the files in /vendor/etc/bluetooth: Filebin | 9cldsh0qn6pkrnfv
And files in /vendor/etc/wifi/buildin: Filebin | 4iih49iozpmf5v6r

Hope it would help, many thanks

The file you requested has been deleted

Sorry: Filebin | urtv5hndd8iwlcrf

Hi, fortunately, my vendor have provide me with the drivers :smiley: : Filebin | 3wmvawur87i68dza

Hi, the drivers folder have been deleted, here are the files again: drivers

Does anyone have some contribution?

This are firmware files not a driver.

Ohh :frowning: which format must have the driver file ?

@kevinrivm please try your firmware with CoreELEC 19.2_rc3 if it get better.

Download the files here and place them under the folder:
/storage/.config/firmware/brcm
Create the folder if it does not exist by like:
mkdir -p /storage/.config/firmware/brcm

Then reboot and post a new dmesg log.

Hi @Portisch and @vpeter thanks.
I’ve done what you ask, however it seems not improve the behaviour of my PS3 controllers, still can’t pair 2 at once.

Here is the dmesg after reboot: dmesg.txt

BTW, my vendor have provided me with other files, in the driver format you ask: bcmdhd 100 10 315 x tar

And it really works on Android? Now the same firmware was used. But I think maybe it’s not possible to pair both controller at once. CE only handle by audio devices. Same for auto connect. It’s designed for audio speakers, not controller.

You can test with EmuELEC if both get paired or not and if the reconnect is working. If yes it’s CE system. If not it’s bt hardware fault.

I do use 2 bt PS3 controller with EmuELEC without issues. Never tried it on CE as there is no need for a media system to handle multiple controller.

Hi.
I used 19.2-Matrix_rc3 (Stable) from a USB flash gxl_p281_2g on a x96 mini + 2/16Gb box. CoreELEC starts up. Wifi and display do not work. I know that gxl_p281_2g is designed for x96 mini which has another wifi adapter.
x96 mini only 2.4GHz
x96 mini + 2.4/5 GHz
Is it impossible to do with it?

I’m sorry for my english.

Look at first post and make a log.

I post the issue here because is a CE forum, the fix is really for EmuELEC, but since it’s based on CE, I think was the same. I’ve the same problem in EmuELEC, I cannot pair 2 controllers at once in this version of x96 max plus in contrast to the other ones which use the cdtech 4761743, so I can conclude it’s an issue with the drivers.

Can you teach me some way to add the drivers directly to the source code? then I’ll make the complete image to see if that work

SDIO_ID=8888:8888 does mean nothing.

Maybe make a dmesg log from Android and/or open the device and get the hardware assembled in your device.
