I'm trying to figure out the GPIO settings for my BT module. It seems to be the same as Transpeed M98-8K. 

			bt {
				compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-bt";
				clocks = <0x0e 0x04>;
				clock-names = "osc32k-out";
				bt_power;
				bt_rst_n = <0x23 0x06 0x13 0x01>;
				phandle = <0xcf>;
			};
                  
                  
     btlpm {
			compatible = "allwinner,sunxi-btlpm";
			status = "okay";
			uart_index = <0x01>;
			bt_wake = <0x23 0x06 0x11 0x00>;
			bt_hostwake = <0x23 0x06 0x10 0x00>;
			wakeup-source;
			phandle = <0xd1>;
		};

 

The only thing I see different in my DTS compared to your DTS is the phandle values. 

 

I couldn't find anything that would help with gpioinfo. 

 

Which gpio utilities did you use? or commands to figure out your GPIO settings?

The DTS above is from your Android? Definitely the same IO ports.

 

I'm using the gpiod package that is installed with the armbian image.

 

sudo gpioinfo gives the following:

Don't be surprised to see the GPIO names in the second column, I have temporarily extended the DTB to include them temporarily for better readability.

I used gpioset to toggle IO and check with a DMM on the wifi/bt module.

Why does your BT come up on hci1? Is there another one on USB?

I only have the on board BT module. Now it shows hci0.  

[    9.927998] Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout
[    9.928065] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Reset failed (-110)

 

I also noticed in the android DTS the max voltage settings for aldo1 and dldo1 is set to 3.5V. Whereas, the armbian kernel has 1.8V for aldo1 and 3.3V for dldo1. Maybe that will make a difference?  

					ldo1 {
						regulator-name = "axp1530-aldo1";
						regulator-min-microvolt = <0x7a120>;
						regulator-max-microvolt = <0x3567e0>;
						regulator-step-delay-us = <0x19>;
						regulator-final-delay-us = <0x32>;
						regulator-always-on;
						phandle = <0x1d>;
					};

					ldo2 {
						regulator-name = "axp1530-dldo1";
						regulator-min-microvolt = <0x7a120>;
						regulator-max-microvolt = <0x3567e0>;
						regulator-step-delay-us = <0x19>;
						regulator-final-delay-us = <0x32>;
						regulator-always-on;
						phandle = <0x1c>;
					};

The data sheet for my AP6330 is available on the net. It specifies:

VBAT min: 3.0V  typ: 3.6V  max: 4.8V

VDDIO  min: 1.2V  typ:  1.8V  max: 2.9V+/-3%

 

From that 3.3 or 3.6 should both work.

 

Maybe you can try and add the following to bluetooth in your DTS:

brcm,requires-autobaud-mode;

I finally got bluetooth working... 

+	bluetooth {
+		compatible = "brcm,bcm43438-bt";
+		shutdown-gpios = <&pio 6 19 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PG19 */
+		clocks = <&rtc CLK_OSC32K_FANOUT>;
+		host-wakeup-gpios = <&pio 6 16 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PG16 */
+		clock-names = "lpo";
+		vddio-supply = <&reg_dldo1>;
+		device-wakeup-gpios = <&pio 6 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* PG17 */
+		vbat-supply = <&reg_dldo1>;
+	};
 };

vddio-supply needed 3.3v on my BT module. Can you check if 3.3v works stable on your board? you just need to edit your patch. It won't break your patch. 

 

Miniarch uses 3.3v also on vontar and a few other tv boxes.

Good afternoon. Sorry, I'm just new to this and just learning. As a result, I was able to compile my own firmware to make only the network card work, and even then only for 100 MB. In Android it works on 1GB. Sound via HDMI does not work 😞 WiFi and bluetooth do not work. I have these modules on the AW869A chip. Is it possible to include support for this chip in the patches?

Hi Dave2024

We need more information. Which board are you using? can you post some pictures.

On my board it does not matter if I change "vddio-supply" to be 3.3V in the bluetooth section of the dtb. On pin 22 of the BT/wifi module I still have 1.8V.

From that finding there is no need to make a separate armbian build.

 

I think the voltage setting for the module is done by the broadcom brcmfxxxx driver and not by the bluetooth code.

 

As a test I removed both xxx-supply lines from the bluetooth section of the dtb and it still works.

Can you also try that?

Can you check dmesg and see if your wifi is loading.. might be asking for a firmware. 

 

If not, OrangePi-Zero2 uses the same wifi/bt aw859a chip. You can borrow code off that board to get WIFI to work.

 

 https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/linux-orangepi/blob/orange-pi-6.1-sun50iw9/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h616-orangepi-zero2.dts

  

	reg_vcc33_wifi: vcc33-wifi {
		/* Always on 3.3V regulator for WiFi and BT */
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		regulator-name = "vcc33-wifi";
		regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
		regulator-always-on;
		vin-supply = <&reg_vcc5v>;
	};

	reg_vcc_wifi_io: vcc-wifi-io {
		/* Always on 1.8V/300mA regulator for WiFi and BT IO */
		compatible = "regulator-fixed";
		regulator-name = "vcc-wifi-io";
		regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
		regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
		regulator-always-on;
		vin-supply = <&reg_vcc33_wifi>;
	};

	wifi_pwrseq: wifi-pwrseq {
		compatible = "mmc-pwrseq-simple";
		clocks = <&rtc 1>;
		clock-names = "osc32k-out";
		reset-gpios = <&pio 6 18 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* PG18 */
		post-power-on-delay-ms = <200>;
	};

.
.
.
  
&mmc1 {
	vmmc-supply = <&reg_vcc33_wifi>;
	vqmmc-supply = <&reg_vcc_wifi_io>;
	mmc-pwrseq = <&wifi_pwrseq>;
	bus-width = <4>;
	non-removable;
	mmc-ddr-1_8v;
	status = "okay";
};

 

Are you using my latest build? I added hdmi audio recently. Maybe you compiled an old build or the current kernel? make sure you are using the edge kernel 6.7 because I haven't added the hdmi audio patches to the 6.6 kernel yet.

 

Some boards have both 100Mbit and 1Gbit Ethernet. 100Mbit comes from the internal SOC PHY. You probably have a external 1Gbit Ethernet chip on your board. I haven't added support for that. I think some Orange pi boards have both. 

 https://www.amazon.ca/Android-Quad-core-Mali-T720MP2-Support-Ethernet/dp/B07L2T9L7J?th=1

here it says you have: 

LAN: Ethernet:10/100M,standard RJ-45

Is this the same board?

I removed both xxx-supply lines and it doesn't work for me.. I guess 1.8V is the default for vddio-supply.

 

I forgot to ask you, can I have your wifi/bt firmware. I want to add them to packages/blobs/station/firmware/brcm/. 

 

Also, do you have problems with the loop device while building armbian? Sometimes I have to build more than once. I think it has to do with root permissions.

Good evening. Nick is similar but not quite the same. I have one like this. The seller called it QPLOVE Q18. Thanks for the WiFi tip. I'll try to slip this patch. And yes, I used the latest build with kernel 6.7. 

 

Here is a link to such a console https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P9KL1XY

Maybe if we can extract more info from android we can figure this out. We need your .dts. Here are steps to do it with a linux PC running ubuntu. 

 

git clone https://github.com/cfig/Android_boot_image_editor.git

sudo apt install git device-tree-compiler lz4 xz-utils zlib1g-dev openjdk-17-jdk gcc g++ python3 python-is-python3 p7zip-full android-sdk-libsparse-utils erofs-utils

cd Android_boot_image_editor

 

sudo apt install adb

sudo adb connect 192.168.X.X:5555  (x is your local network address for your box)

sudo adb -s 192.168.x.xxx:5555 shell "ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc@3000000/4022000.sdmmc/by-name"

 

if you get:

"error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device."

 

You need to authorise your connection on the box.

mv boot_a boot_a.img

./gradlew unpack

cd build

cd unzip_boot

 

Your dtb will either be in "boot_a" or "vendor_boot_a". Android_boot_image_editor will extract it. 

 

if the commands don't work you can browse the folders. Find the correct path.

sudo adb shell

su

cd /dev/block/platform/

Try this.
