Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

Bluetooth started working out of nowhere on 4.9 kernel, CE 19.4 build, but just shows the name of one device, the others just the address and the connected status.

Now on 9.2.8 legacy:

dmesg: http://ix.io/3UY6

Sorry I took a long time, I was having a problem with the SD Card, I think.

That is the diff:
9.2.8

Host SW:4.5.20.037, FW:0.0.0.60, HW:QCA9377_REV1_1

19.4:

Host SW:4.5.20.037, FW:0.0.0.16, HW:QCA9377_REV1_1

No idea why, need to check the QCA firmware

@DiogoSilva please download this tar:
https://sources.libreelec.tv/mirror/qca9377-firmware-aml/qca9377-firmware-aml-1.0.0-3.tar.xz

Extract it local and copy everything to your µSD in folder on your 19.4 µSD:
/storage/.config/firmware/qca9377

Or when you access the CoreELEC device by share it should be in folder COREELEC/Configfiles/firmware/qca9377

So you will have a file as example:
/storage/.config/firmware/qca9377/qwlan30.bin

When you copied all reboot and make a dmesg | paste again.

Were you ever able to this this working? I am trying to get a S905X box with the same WiFi working, but I am having the same issue you described.

532

@wizardknight instead asking a user with not responding you might try the infos I prepared?

533

I just tested CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-20.0-Nexus_nightly_20220507-Generic.img on a A95X-B7N (s905x) box. The onboard wifi did not see any connections at all, and does not appear to be working. I believe this unit uses the QCA9377 wifi chipset.
I am using gxl_p212_1g.

Why reproduce the work, if I can just ask for the outcome? Do you redo the work of everyone else rather than building upon the work already done?

535

Because the user never said if it worked or not?

536

The path COREELEC/Configfiles/firmware/qca9377 does not seem to exist.

path
path695×554 53 KB

Can you confirm that is correct?

537

/storage/.config/firmware/qca9377 does not seem to exist either.

538

I tried creating the directory you refer to, and extracting the file contents to it. There was no change in the wifi’s behavior.

539

dmesg | paste

hmm, it looks like it still load old firmware:
Host SW:4.5.20.037, FW:0.0.0.16, HW:QCA9377_REV1_1
No idea yet

545

The directory you told me to put it in didn’t exist. Could you have the path wrong?

546

Any new ideas?

547

When I get more free time I will prepare a test image with the old firmware

548

@wizardknight please update with this image:

Just place the tar in the update folder and reboot.
After the update please run dmesg | paste.
