Clonazepunk Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) 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.

[ 9.000207] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x16044330 [ 9.017810] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio for chip BCM4330/4 [ 9.019051] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac [ 9.020401] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.amlogic,p281.bin failed with error -2 [ 9.035609] brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.clm_blob failed with error -2 Given that the board is recognized, i dont think its a big deal. 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 Edited June 15, 2023 by Clonazepunk Support propose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clonazepunk Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) 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! Edited June 15, 2023 by Clonazepunk Solution 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sub-forum is for amlogic based devices (not rockchip). Everything about your post is not appropriate. Please post arch questions in an arch forum. Don't hijack a post that is completely unrelated to your question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WiFi on my Mecool BB2 Pro works fine now, don't have to waste a dongle & a usb port. Edited December 21, 2023 by Buttercup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
