Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

Would you be willing to test one more image and post some logs? Update, disable/enable bt in kodi and post logs. Remove USB dongle before reboot.

Tried the image (without the dongle), didn’t work again…
The strange thing on my box is that I have to install Matrix 19.1-rc1 first in order to make the wifi work. Then I can update it to rc4. If I install rc4 first, there’s no wifi. But with rc1 (and rc4) the BT-Dongle gets detected on kodi and can be used. That didn’t work on my first setup (CoreElec 9.2.7.)… Don’t know if this information is helpful… However, here are the results:

CoreELEC (vpeter): 19.1-Matrix_rc_vpeter (Amlogic-ng.arm)

Hi!
I recently got my tv box, and it is a X96air 2GB+16GB+2.4G Wi-Fi. The Wifi chip is 8189FT,V I have verified it and it works perfectly fine.

My question is what it would take to get the wifi chip to work with newer kernel versions or for e.g. other Linux distros?

What i can see is that in a recent release 19.1-Matrix_rc2 RTL8188FTV-aml driver was added.
In the dtb I can see this config: compatible = “amlogic, aml_wifi”;
The aml_wifi seem kinda generic how does that refer to the correct driver?

I guess what i would need to make this work is:

  • Add a driver like the one mentioned above.
  • Create a proper dtb to select the driver.

correct me if im wrong.

Thank you for the good work!

thank you, I make a new test image. will take a bit…

@serg255 please try with this update:

Please post a dmesg | paste again after update. Thank you.

Thank you! How to write “tar” to sd card? Rufus doesn’t understand.

391

Place the tar in update folder.

Or by SSH:

cd .update
megadl https://mega.nz/file/mSxSxCBQ#qx43EBXvjGp6z3RLSuYJZ0VzVmIy-8QXAbRue6I8OUE
sync
reboot

@serg255 you need to make a dmesg log from Android where wifi is working.

Also a dtb dump is needed. This dump can be done in CE by SSH:

dd if=/dev/dtb | gzip > /storage/downloads/dtb.img.gz

Then share the dtb.img.gz with us.

Thank you for the logs. Android use another driver for this chip. Maybe it’s not possible to include it. Will need to check it in more detail.
