Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

s905x4 212 meson, with the rtl8821c chipset Bluetooth over u_art exposed as serial not found, DTS was generic shows it should be attached to u_art 1 or a board reference calls for u_art 5 or d with the rockchip version though. Original box does insmod with the driver and restarts broadcoms Bluetooth stack.

Please advise I tried modifying my DTS file to have the correct values without source and while the modifications I initially added didn’t crash they didn’t help so I reverted those.

Unrelated to follow
/*board also has a fd655 that actually drives the vfd and works fine after much testing.

I did get the LEDs on this device to shut off by setting open vfd to use the fd6551 the board dev shunted RGB mode values to through an IR code on the remote.

Willing to bet each bit change may result in some manner of control over those but how would I run a second open vfd service or even just a pwm python script or something.*/

Hello All,

The wifi works, but the bluettoth does not work on my X96 X4 box with coreelec-ne 20.3, but on coreelec-no wifi also does not work.
Here is the link from ne version ssh : https://paste.coreelec.org/fqLXQ3

Thanks fro your help!

Use forum search!

Hello! Mecool KM6 Classic.
Non-working BT and wifi: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-20.3-Nexus-Generic.img.
Non-working BT: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-20.3-Nexus-Generic.img and CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-21.0-Omega_nightly_20240209-Generic.img.
https://paste.coreelec.org/Nk6OTD

This is because the NG driver is included but only 4.9 compatible.
NE is 5.4, no driver exists
NO is 5.15 and RTW88 driver is used.

In the future, will I need to use “NO” because “NE” does not support drivers and “NG” is left with Bluetooth not working?

When you mention “the future” the answer is obvious. NO is the future.

Hello,

I use a H96 max (s905w2 4g) device. Neither internal bluetooth nor internal wifi are working under corelec installed from CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-20.4-Nexus-Generic.img.gz with s4_s905w2_4g.dtb

I tried CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-21.0-Omega_nightly_20240221-Generic.img.gz and CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-21.0-Omega_nightly_20240223-Generic.img.gz and had no wifi or bluetooth.

The results of the commands are:
CoreELEC:~ # uname -a
Linux CoreELEC 5.4.210 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 19 10:40:19 CET 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

https://paste.coreelec.org/J7W1Lz
CoreELEC:~ # dmesg | paste

Wired internet works perfectly. I hope this is helpful.

Hi,

I have some info about “H96 max W2” (s905w2 based) devices. They use L8800D-SHCY module, which is based on AIC8800.

The reported SDIO device IDs:

CoreELEC:~ # cat /sys/bus/sdio/devices/mmc2\:524f\:1/uevent 
DRIVER=aicwf_sdio
OF_NAME=wifi
OF_FULLNAME=/soc/sdio@fe088000/wifi@1
OF_COMPATIBLE_0=brcm,bcm4329-fmac
OF_COMPATIBLE_N=1
SDIO_CLASS=07
SDIO_ID=5449:0145
MODALIAS=sdio:c07v5449d0145

Note, that “brcm,bcm4329-fmac” specified on the DT node is also specified in the original android DT. It doesn’t seem to cause problems with loading the proper driver if present.

I managed to get the radio working using the modules from: aic8800/src/SDIO/driver_fw/driver/aic8800 at main · radxa-pkg/aic8800 · GitHub
The firmware also should be used from the same repository. The following files are needed: aic8800/src/SDIO/driver_fw/fw/aic8800 at main · radxa-pkg/aic8800 · GitHub

The package.mk I used for building is:

The aic8800D80 directory name is not the most fortunate, I just typed it in that way because originally I based on the debian package builder configuration for the module, which used only the firmware for aic8800D80. I suggest changing it both in the package.mk, and the patch below.

The Bluetooth part of the chip is connected via UART on fe078000.serial, aka. /dev/ttyS1 (when using s4_s905w2_2g), probably in “H4” HCI mode. The power control, wake and interrupt pins, and also the 32k clock pin in the s4_s905w2_2g device tree seem to match the original device tree.
The kernel Bluetooth HCI part can be bound to the device using:

hciattach -s 1500000 /dev/ttyS1 any 1500000 flow nosleep

And after that and unlocking the rfkill, it works properly (at least with the aic8800 drivers loaded).

That’s very impressive. Thank you for this wealth of information. I will try to replicate your work.

Thank you very much, if I am allowed I will take your information and implement it in CoreELEC repo.

That would be great. Thank you.

Tannix TX3 mini+ - has built-in BT, which I confirmed on the Android boot. In Coreelec, Wifi works, but BT does not. Here’s the output, I appreciate any insights - Coreelec just says, “no Bluetooth adapter found”:

I have this same device and am having the same issue. I’ve tried a number of troubleshooting steps, but no joy. I’ve noticed that Bluetooth reports a softlock:

CoreELEC:~ # rfkill list
0: bt-dev: bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: wlan
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: phy1: wlan
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

I’ve unblocked it, enabled Bluetooth service and started it - still nothing. All troubleshooting steps fail and the result is always “no Bluetooth adapter found,” but the device has Bluetooth and it works when booted from Android.

EDIT: I’ve also noticed that after the device is idle for some period, the wifi disconnects and reports “failure” as its status. I can reconnect it again, but I don’t think it should be dropping it’s connection.

Please let me know what else I can try and if any additional information is needed.

TY

The Tanix TX3 Mini+ uses S905W2, slightly different than the TX3 Mini. Is this still a case of no driver available?

Is your current support for PCIe devices friendly? I have a Tencent Aurora 4 Pro TV box that currently does not support Bluetooth and WiFi, and does not have an AP6275P driver. It uses the PCIe interface. If possible, I will go back tonight to submit the log feedback. Thank you. @Portisch

Try again with Amlogic-no: New Order: Looking for users with no working WiFi or BT

@blueyeti2000 I updated the device but it does not come back online by tmate after reboot. Please check and get a dmesg log now before updating or reset the device.
