Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

@Bart @Lucky3058 @truztruz
Please try tomorrow CE-19 nightly. The WiFi 3030:3030 X96 Mini should now work.
It uses the SSV6030P WiFi SoC and the driver was needed to be adjusted.

You are the men :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks @Portisch and @Vasco

hello, i´m allready try CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.1-Matrix_nightly_20210419 in new x96 mini

Reboot ---------------> OK

@Portisch There´s any chance to change the script ceemmc, to install the firmware in NAND in this new x96 mini, because somethimes when in sdcard, we´ve got small freezes. In the old x96 mini i can install in nand, and run like a charm…

When i try install in nand in this new x96 mini, it takes a eternety to install, and then when restart is very slow to start ( 3 or 4 minutes). And then is very slowly to work to.

Can you help with this…?

Thank You Everything.

Ceemmc is working normally and the device is booting fast.
Sometimes it’s different from device to device due to hardware problems. I once had a X96 air to test and the booting processe from cemmc took over one minute and we have dozens of X96 air running CE and no complaints.
Try it on another X96 mini if you haven’t tried it already in new nightly. If it’s still slow try a fresh install and not an upgrade.

@Vasco , thank you for your quick reply,

Yes i´ve got one X96 air with this problem too, but i ask to supplier change it, and the problem is solved.

With this new x96 mini, the problem is very different, yes i try a fresh install with the new nightly, in other new x96 mini, but seems the problem remains, i believe is about hardware problems.

After this, i flash the box with original firmware again, boot from sdcard, and works normally.

what could it be …

No support for non CoreELEC supporter!
Using ceemmc on this device is on your own risk!

Just tried the nightly build “CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.1-Matrix_nightly_20210419-Generic.img.gz” on my X96 Max+ (S905x3, 4g/32g, gbe). It seems WiFi & BT are working now (It was not working in CoreELEC 19).
Here is the log: http://ix.io/2WC6

Thanx.

As @Portisch said this is not one of our supported ceemmc devices. I can only say that the one I have here works perfectly with ceemmc.

ok , i understand @Portisch , thank you.

@Vasco is one of this new x96 mini, you´ve got ?? Just for curiosity…

You tell me :grin:

I tried Nightly build + Update on X96 Max+ Q2. Not stable. Ping is big. after restart wifi not funcional.

Updated to nightly 21-4, directly after wifi rtl8812au starts to act up again like it did before. Losing IP. Had been working great for the last couple of weeks. Unplug/plug temp solves it like before.

Isnt it possible to run this chipset reliably ?
Such a shame to have to put it away again.

Yes, i know.
I will when I have time, i hope.
Just reporting this chipset broke again as of today.

Thanks and have a nice day!

@Portisch Regarding the issue with RTL8812AU based wifi adapters i have done the following:

  • Inserted adapter
  • Booted to CE
  • Noticed no network connection settings for wlan
    (since 21-04 nightly, some recent versions before this did not happen anymore)
  • Enable debug logging
  • Reboot
  • Noticed no netwerk connection settings for wlan
  • Unplugged/Plugged in Adapter
  • Configured netwerk settings
  • Noticed DHCP (reserved) lease is received and correct IP used
  • Copied and uploaded log here: Ubuntu Pastebin

Just to add: if and when the device does receive a lease, it will last for some time, then ip is dropped again (until unplugged/plugged back in). Tested on C4 and N2.
If you need anything else to tackle this please let me know and i will try and pull any info you might need.

Thank you.

please do also a dmesg | paste after the problem appeared.

Same procedure repeated (unplugged/plugged adapter at the end), result of dmesg| paste: http://ix.io/2WQQ

remove your SAGE AirMouse and try again and make log again

Removed Sage airmouse (which i only inserted for this test, not connected in normal use): http://ix.io/2WQY

I don’t know if your problem can be solved at all.
The USB hubs on N2/C4 do need a reset on boot to work properly.

But it looks like the Wifi dongle does not like that.
