Werner 361 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 If somebody has a chance to test new firmware blob for XR819 feedback would be appreciated Simply grab the fw_xr819.bin from the PR below, replace your current one and reboot. Check if Wi-Fi still works as expected or ideally even better. The file is located here: /usr/lib/firmware/xr819/ https://github.com/armbian/firmware/commit/aff348fa9eef0fcc97d4f2bb7304f0862baffc20 If in doubt create a backup of your current firmware bin. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hammy 2 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 As far as I can tell nothing much changed - nothing negative and nothing positive (still 200ms ping). Did I actually install the new version or am I just an idiot?

Hammy 2 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The power management still acts up on my board. Ping is arround 200ms even though Power Management:off If I let the orange Pi ping the router or something else every 50ms ( ping -i 0,05 ) the orange pi responds < 5ms. I assume the ping command forces it out of the power safe mode. Can you confirm this? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats my problem, I never checked on the old one, just wrote it off as buggy. I’ll monitor a few more days, roll back to standard Armbian on Friday and report back the differences 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sunzone 4 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have observed kernel panics using xradio driver before. Check Opizero wifi kernel hang I decided to test it with this driver. Summary: No improvements Ap mode No kernel panics were observed during 1 day when running only on AP mode. However, when Orange Pi is rebooted in AP mode, kernel panic was observed. After running 5 Orange Pi devices, after 60 average reboots, Kernel panic occurred for all devices.

[ 74.754140] rcu: blocking rcu_node structures: Same error was observed in old firmware. Client mode No kernel panics were observed during 1 day when connected to an AP with a non-changing channel. Running in Client mode and changing AP’s channel result in similar kernel panic. But this occurred rarely. Running 5 Orange pi zero devices and changing channel continuously 72 times, lead to a Kernel panic only on 1 device. Running in Client mode, and rebooting also result in Kernel panic. It took an average of 200 reboots for the Kernel panic for 5 Orange Pi Zero Devices. Same error occurred on all situations. Hope this helps. This is how I tested. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[ 7798.343147] xradio WRN: BH: missed 10 consecutive interrupts! [ 8168.424968] xradio WRN: BH: missed 11 consecutive interrupts!

I have however something similar on the OPiZ+ with roughly the same time stamp and hence doubt that the firmware is to blame. [ 5248.939102] xradio STA-WRN: [CQM] BSS lost, Beacon miss=20, event=24.

Don’t know what to think of it. -> The firmware seems to be just as crappy as before. Is there a changelog available? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
