When you would have updated your old CoreELEC version you would have seen Wifi is already working.
Bluetooth will not as there is no interface driver available for Linux.

You have the W1-AML chip assembled.

Are you talking about the CoreELEC 21.0-Omega_alpha3 version?
Does wifi work in this version?
On my wifi module it says ‘K 255B-SR’
Where did you get the name of the module ‘W1-AML’?

85

From Spec

86

Any Amlogic-ne, Zou still have kernel 5.4.125, we are already at 5.4.210

87

A new kernel probably means new problems.
I’ll probably stick with kernel 5.4.125 because all I need is for it to work. It seems to me that only wifi doesn’t work, but I use LAN.

88

Then don’t ask about :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

However, I installed CoreELEC 21.0-Omega_alpha3 on Tvbox Tanix x4 s905x4.
Everything seems to work fine except wifi.

So the solution is to turn off hardware acceleration? I’m having issue with same box Tanix X4.

CoreELEC 21.0-Omega_alpha3 on Tvbox Tanix x4 s905x4.
Immediately after entering the WiFi password, the following
message is displayed: Error. Operation timeout.
After selecting the Access point checkbox, the interface is
automatically refreshed and the field is automatically deleted.

These posts of ours are scattered from place to place like garbage.
First, I started a topic about spdif output.
I received help there, but my post was turned into wifi problems.
So I described the problems with wifi, but instead of an answer, my post was thrown to a garbage topic about Tanix x4 and it will certainly die here without an answer.
Tanix x4 needs very little work to make everything work well.
From what I noticed, the problem is only with WiFi.
Well, to solve this we need the good will of the Corelec team.

96

Now I thought that CoreELEC 20.2-Nexus is on kernel 5.4.125 and Android 11 on Tanix x4 is also is
kernel 5.4.125. If so, wouldn’t it be possible to transfer it
binary version of the wifi driver from android to coreelec?

97

Next time please take a device supported by CoreELEC…

No, it’s not possible to “transfer” binaries.

98

I have 2 USB Bluetooth adapters.

  1. Asus USB-BT 400
  2. Asus USB-BT 500

Support is missing for both in current kernel 5.4.210.

Support was there in previous kernels.

My system: Tanix X4 running CoreELEC Nexus ne nightly 20230927.

Thanks.

99

Please tell us more in detail what option needs to be enabled. Also feel free to make a pull request to CoreELEC.

Same box, same results. I can’t even get a USB Bluetooth dongle working either.

For gamepad, I use a USB gamepad and for my Bluetooth speakers I use the AUX port and run a 3.5mm wire.
