Sorry for that, @SteeMan, i'd give him support in my original thread, but they closed it... @basodo, pm me.

Ok, i'm stupid The firmware for this board is missing. [ 9.020401] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.amlogic,p281.bin failed with error -2 [ 9.020401] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.amlogic,p281.bin failed with error -2 the file brcmfmac4330-sdio.amlogic,p281.bin simply doesn't exist Wonder if it works if i borrow it from Android... EDIT: Found a workaround! I'll leave this thread for other user's further research cp /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.amlogic,p281.bin For some reason, the kernel won't use the default firmware, and want the specific board version. It works now!

Hello guys! First of all, i couldn't find a topic about the same problem im having, so, if this is a duplicate, just let me know and i'll delete it So, i just installed Armbian Lunar Edge (Kernel 6.2.9) on my box. The WiFi chip is properly recognized, but the firmware for it won't load This is the dmesg output [ 8.897269] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database [ 8.898654] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7' [ 8.899871] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2 [ 8.899910] cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db [ 8.912366] Adding 988264k swap on /dev/zram0.

Still investigating the problem, but until that, can someone give me some tips on how to solve it? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I am an advanced user, and intend to give official support for this hardware. A lot of people own similar boxes

Hi! Have you tried the linux-firmware package? It provides drivers for many wifi chips Try it with sudo apt install linux-firmware Hope it works!

But that's no problem You still can edit the extlinux.conf file, inside the boot partition Just take care of not setting up any invalid option in it, else you'll break your system (Though it's easy to recover)

Manjaro is a good choice It works out of the box with my S905W board! Thanks for pointing out. I forgot that

That's good to know Before trying anything else, you should try other dtb files, as stated by @SteeMan. I was lucky. My S905W box works like a charm with a realtek chip as well. you can do it without recompiling the kernel by using @balbes150images. There's a plenty of files to try out make sure you have the p281 board, of doesn't, try other dtb files if you're sure your board is a p281 (which also means it's defective from factory, with different hardware), then you should try to compile the drivers from the git you found ok, that's a lot of info. I'll keep helping you through this post, and sorry for the late replies. I suffer from some conditions that keeps me away from staying too much on the PC Hope It works!

Well, to help you with the headers, I need to know which kernel exactly are you using. Show me the output of the command "uname -a", please Also, installing the package by itself should be enough to make the interface wlan0 to show up. But don't panic. Let's see the headers issue first

Hi! If I remember, your wifi chip is already supported by Armbian. Try installing the package armbian-firmware-full it should do the trick, and save you a lot of time compiling the drivers from source Hope it helps!

Hi! @balbes150 provided a working image for a RK3399 box. Maybe you should give it a shot. Good luck!

Hi! @hexdump is right I think the best way to figure it out is first, to find out what wifi chip the board has. If the package armbian-firmware-full has support to it, you're good to go I had good experiences with rockchip boxes. They're the cheapest ever, and always with the same two supported wifi chips (ssv6051 or ssv6252). If you want to bet on one of those cheap Chinese boxes,put your bets on MX9 or MX10 boxes. MXQ boxes has a good chance to come with a rockchip CPU, but there arr fake ones with the AllWinner H3 CPU (whose wifi isn't supported). But it also worthy trying Take your time finding a box and come back if you need support with it! Good luck. (You'll need it lol)

Hi! We are here to help, but first we need more info from you Which Armbian build are you using? Can you tell? As the log says, the error is in the U-Boot parameters, but can me something more. Can you detail your problem a bit more? Starting from the image download

Just to add: You have a powerfull toy with you. It's a waste to use it as a paper weigth!

After some research, i realized the same error happened when users tried to update their ROM from a LPDDR3 memory to a DDR3 Box, or vice versa Uploading software on Amlogic CPUs is like a surgery. I think that's why the Meson support is kinda poor compared to Rockchip CPUs. Well... There's no unbrickable device. Maybe you should try the short pin method and skip the boot from e-MMC, or even more radical: Remove the e-MMC chip I was able to save a fully bricked (surprisingly) rockchip box using this method. It's always my last resource If you need any tips about the electronics, feel free to ask!

Hi! Those boxes play flawlessly on Android. I think it's a matter of time and better drivers will come up The best results i got was using Arch Linux and lima (open source drivers for Mali GPUs). Maybe you should give it a try. PM me if you need help with this! Good luck
