MattWestB Posted March 11 Posted March 11 WAN (Wide Aria Network) = your external internet connection routed to your ISP (so the ISPs IP adrress) from your home network and not WiFi interface of the box. 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) @MattWestBThank you for your answer! I admit I'm not really savy on this stuff, so thanks for the clarification! So I don't know what to do with this WiFi, I think I won't be able to make it work since it's not detected. I find hard to believe it failed honestly, it used to work when I use the box as an Android box, but I don't have idea on what to do. I was messing around: it looks like the bluetooth is working? I've been reading around this thread, if I'm not wrong WiFi and Bluetooth are embedded but have separate firmware (?), but this should rule out hardware defect, right? EDIT: if I just run rk3318-config and chose X88 PRO B this output disappears, if I go into armbian-config and chose "SP6330" tree overlay bluetooth looks like it works (output in photo), but wifi does not work. https://paste.armbian.com/irewiretip Edited March 13 by CtrlValCanc Bluetooth works if i load with armbian-config overlay? 0 Quote
MattWestB Posted March 13 Posted March 13 If you have selecting one working (LED)configure in rk3318-config you shall have somthing like "brcmfmac" then the chip is initiating and then more then the system is loading the firmware in it in the log and i have not seen it then looking. In your log i see: [ 2.987024] mmc3: Failed to initialize a non-removable card [ 3.032919] mmc1: Failed to initialize a non-removable card and mmc0 is not conected and mmc1 is the eMMC 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) @MattWestBThank you for your time. I attachboard photos, it's a X88 Pro 10 android-box. I can read on the second photo, under the sticker, X88 PRO B RK3318 D4 V1 2 so I chose X88 PRO B config, but it won't work neither bluetooth or wifi (at least if I chose SP6330 in armbian-config I have an output to that grep). I look at the overlays and it should be loading the config (the last one is rk3318-box-wlan-ap66330, the one added by armbian-config). I might be missing something, I feel quite clueless. Edited March 14 by CtrlValCanc Keep adding images. I really hope people don't get notification with every edit 1 Quote
MattWestB Posted March 14 Posted March 14 The Linux kernel is not detecting the WiFi card then its need the power being enabled by one GPIO from the system. Try other LED / board config in rk3318-config and also look in the head of it if its showing if the system have detecting some card (your screenshot its written: Wifi device: Not available) after doing the change and rebooting the device (some config can making the device not booting at all !!). 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) @mattwestB Yes yesterday I tried to enable them all and got an unbootable system! I just tried all of them, one by one, except the one for rk3328, reboot and re-run rk3318-config, still says wifi not detected. I was reading yesterday something about double reboot to make rk3318-config apply the settings, is it something I should still do or is it "fixed"? Because I really don't know what is not working oof Edited March 14 by CtrlValCanc 0 Quote
MattWestB Posted March 14 Posted March 14 If you have one backup of the original firmware or log from it then booting perhaps @jock can helping digging what is needed for getting the WiFi card being powered on but this boxes is little trashy how they have implementing the hardware. 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 14 Posted March 14 (edited) @MattWestB I don't have a backup, but I flashed this https://mega.nz/file/f1okwZjB#7VrJQQRP9QLEJsT1MazpQO0rQAxSssnajUp4uhvpF4Y and I remember it working. Unfortunatly I like tech stuff but I'm not really tech savy. Btw it's a common box, it's an x88 pro 10, I saw people in this post with the same box as me having wifi working easily, so I'm starting to think it's a me problem. Also, I'm not sure about the ethernet. It stopped working AGAIN (and I had put static ip). It shows eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>, doesn't have a local ip and doesn't ping anything. but if I connect the usb-ethernet adapter it immediatly works @jock. Is this the problem you were talking about in your first answer? Maybe my box is failing, idk Installed Stock Android Image: it can read WiFi network, but I am not able to connect to a password-protected wifi. I did a hotspot with no security password and it connects, so the wifi card is working!!!! Why is it not working under Armbian?? Ethernet looks dead instead, it says "not connected" even if I connect it. Edited March 15 by CtrlValCanc 0 Quote

Is this the problem you were talking about in your first answer? It is common for tv boxes that some devices don't work out of the box. Tv boxes are not officially supported and will never be officially supported in armbian mainly for the reason they carry wildly different hardware and it is not feasible to give any kind of official support, hence it is totally a community effort. The reason rk3318-config does not show any wifi chip is that the wifi chip is either connected to a different mmc bus, or the "power on" gpio pin is the wrong one. Inspection of the device tree from the original firmware will surely clarify what is going on. Your particular board (X88 PRO is known to have the wifi chip on the "alternative" sdmmc_ext bus. In your case you have to run rk3318-config for a first time, configure the board with led-conf2, reboot, run again rk3318-config (this time it should show the wifi vendor and device IDs), let it configure the proper device tree overlay, reboot again and you should finally be able to see the wifi adapter. About the ethernet problem, I see NO-CARRIER: either the cable is not connected properly or the ethernet port is faulty. dmesg log is always very appreciated for debugging. 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 15 Posted March 15 @jock thank you again for your time. Since the ethernet looks dead/faulty, i would like to have my WiFi working. 50 minutes ago, jock said: run again rk3318-config (this time it should show the wifi vendor and device IDs) that's the problem, it still shows WiFi not avaible like the pics I posted earlier, it makes me run it like the first time. In /boot/armbianEnv.txt I do see the overlays and uboot says it applys them. I thought armbianmonitor log would be enough, sorry (posting the new one e here in case it is useful), and here the dmseg:mesg.txt 0 Quote

CtrlValCanc Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) @jock don't worry, my posts are kinda messy and full of edits. You're doing me a favour, so I'm just grateful you're taking your time for me. If you need some other stuff, let me know. Edited March 15 by CtrlValCanc 0 Quote
jock Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 @CtrlValCanc try to substitute /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3318-box.dtb file with the one I provide attached to this post, reboot and see what happens rk3318-box.dtb 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) @jock DUDE!!!!! I rebooted it and it immediatly showed wlan0 in ip -a, I used armbian-config to connect to my home wifi, ping 1.1.1.1 AND IT WORKS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I don't know what and how you did it, but you are a wizard and saved this box since ethernet is dead!!!!! Grazie mille ancora. Edited March 16 by CtrlValCanc 0 Quote
jock Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 @CtrlValCanc glad to hear you got it working, prego! About the ethernet, if the hardware is really failing, you may want to try and set the port to 10Mbps instead of 100Mbps with ethtool; it won't give you a fast connection, but at least the device could be reached on the net for maintenance. 0 Quote
CtrlValCanc Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) @jock tried ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full autoneg off, but if I run ip a I still see no-carrier. also, output of ethtool eth0 is: ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotlation: No Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: off Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: external MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: Ug Wake-on: d Current messoge level: 0x0000003f_(63) drv probe ink timer ifdown ifup Link detected: no ethtool -i etho driver: st gmac version: 6.12.19-current-rockchip64 firmware-version: expansion-rom-version: bus-info: ff550000.ethernet supports-statistics: yes supports-test: No supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: yes supports-priy-fla There might be some error as I used phone photo-to-text and i corrected manually. but the output is the same one. The Link detected: no makes me think it does not even know there is an ethernet cable plugged in. Visually it looks like the ethernet port and the chip are fine. ALSO: now everytime I upgrade kernel should I copy the dtb file you made me? Should I stop upgrading? Because I just upgraded (running update&&upgrade in hope my eth will be bringed back to life) and WiFi was not showing. I repasted it and it works. Do I risk incompabilities? Will it be updated to mainstream? (I don't even know if this question makes sense lol) Thank you once again for your time thought, at least one of the two is working I guess. It just bugs me that the card is detected but not functional! Edited March 16 by CtrlValCanc 0 Quote
jock Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 @CtrlValCanc the fix has just been mainlined: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/7959, so future dtb packages will have the fix already included! 0 Quote
