gaara got a reaction from markbirss in Banana Pi M2plus & inboard wifi [solved]
Ok guys, I've found a solution.
It was the firmware and the files in the /lib/firmware/ap6212
Here is a procedure:
1) Download the firmware
git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI_WiFi_Firmware or
git clone https://github.com/jrspruitt/FriendlyARM_NanoPi_Buildroot_Ext.git 2) Rename nvram_ap6212.txt to nvram.txt:
mv ~/BPI_>WiFi_Firmware/ap6212/nvram_ap6212.txt ~/BPI_>WiFi_Firmware/ap6212/nvram.txt 3) Copy the ap6212 folder into /lib/firmware folder
sudo cp -r ~/BPI_>WiFi_Firmware/ap6212 /lib/firmware Then,
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up should work

gaara got a reaction from wildcat_paris in Banana Pi M2plus & inboard wifi [solved]
Hi all !
Sinovoip just send me a free sample of a new board, BPi M2 plus.
- H3 SoC
- eMMC (7.3 Go)
-Inboard Wifi+BT ( chipset AP6212 )
Very good, thanks to them !
So I have installed Armbian (here), but the wifi doesn't work yet.
I have found the driver source, (http://www.mediafire.com/download/68vvpim3k3po0ur/support_ap6212.rar) but I think I must recompile all Armbian to try if this driver works.
Some questions:
1) Can I compile Armbian with a Ubuntu 16.04 x64 desktop, or 14.04 is better ?
2) If so, does a source is available somewhere (and maybe a tutorial? XD ) ? I have look the Igor's repo, but I think sun8i is not available at this day.
Thanks for all lights
