Wifi problem on Tanix TX3 Mini

Your device is completely broken. Maybe wrong dtb is used. It’s full of kernel oops. Try clean fresh install with 19.4 first and make a log again. When the kernel oops are gone we can continue with the wifi.

Can you try with this

coreelec='quiet ssh log_buf_len=16M'

and do

dmesg | paste 

as soon you log in.

Guys, tks to put efforts on it :slight_smile: .

@vpeter paste command don’t return url, I guess that is because of size, I did a GitHub gist:

@Portisch I’m suspecting that problem is my CPU (it is a Non NG I guess). Can a non-NG boot a NG image? (real question)

Same: No such device (-19)

No, you have a GXL S905W SoC what is compatible with NG. It does boot normal but the driver do crash the system. Maybe we have the wrong one picked.
I will create tomorrow again a new image.

Ok! I just follow the seller’s (of arcade machine) recommendation to never use NG images :joy:, good to know.

@dyorgio please test all these images:

You can make a clean install of each as I uploaded the img.gz files.
Please make a log like last time for each image that we can see if we have something working.

I guess that only in 9083 version module was loaded :innocent:

Yes, only the 9083 did load the firmware on the chip. But it’s crashing the system. So we can’t help further here without physical touch the hardware. Maybe you find another driver what is working.

I sent a mail to repo owner, lets see if it can pass the China’s internet wall :joy:.

@dyorgio please make a new log with this image:

Not sure if it is ok, I used base image: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_devel_20220308220529-s9083

and updated to: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.5-Matrix_devel_20220310103916

This is a log of the old image. The new image should print something Thu Mar 10

An update error maybe? .update dir was cleaned. Could you provide a full img? turn all debug logs on :nerd_face:

Do not try to update from another test image, please use 19.4 stable or nightly image.
When you try to update from one of the test images it will not work as the eMMC driver is crashed and you can’t save the update on the device.

So try again with this image:

Or you can use this img.gz for a clean install:

I can now list networks with:

CoreELEC:~ # iw dev wlan0_s0 scan | grep SID
	SSID: Nascimento
	SSID: Dyorgio
	SSID: Michele-2G
	SSID: Carol
	SSID: LEOMAR

But it can’t connect, this log is from wpa_supplicant (I tried two diff networks that I have here (sid/pass)):

OK, I can connect, it was another wpa_supplicant process in background.
But no ipv4 (I disabled ipv6 to test, also no ipv4).

Good news :smiley:
I restart and found a tutorial do use connman.
Wifi connected and few seconds later get a ipv4.

I can’t test it using curl --interface wlan0_s0 google.com

So, I disconnected eth cable and tried to connect ssh using wifi ip.

And it works!!!

then I made curl test again and works too…

But… few seconds later, it just stop, and I can’t connect on wifi ip.

I put eth cable again, no way. just restarting…

The driver still crash the system and I think it can not be solved…
