Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.6.78_minimal NOT FOND WIFI

[Guilherme]

I'm generating an image version and I noticed that WIFI is not being activated. Until the Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.6.58_minimal version it worked and after that it stopped. Can someone help?

Hardly without logs. Type:
 

sudo armbianmonitor -u

 

and provide URL.

There are two things - from a quick log check - that are missing:

- enabling "something" in the /boot/firmware/config.txt  This can be an overlay telling to enable certain overlay specific for CM4

- firmware files (which are for Bluetooth):
 

[    6.374743] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: firmware Patch file not found, tried:
[    6.374779] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM4345C0.raspberrypi,4-compute-module.hcd'
[    6.374787] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM4345C0.hcd'
[    6.374795] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM.raspberrypi,4-compute-module.hcd'
[    6.374802] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: 'brcm/BCM.hcd'

 

Let me check ...

Firmware for BT was added https://github.com/armbian/firmware/commits/master/ while for enabling of CM4 refer to official instructions - what needs to be set in /boot/firmware/config.txt in order to get full functionality. This is the same as in official OS.

But in my case, it's the WIFI that stopped in the kernel Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.6.58_minimal. I didn't do any of that and it works because I now have to change /boot/firmware/config.txt.

Note that the wifi also presents this error [7.388838] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50

Maybe country code for wifi must be set.

Yes, and there is also PCI error before that - could be hw related.

I was testing RPi Zero 2W and Rpi5 about two weeks ago and both WiFi worked OOB. Did you try booting our latest official image? We are using K6.12.y since last release and also if you build from sources now, it will be 6.12.y

Is the armbian firmware package installed? This error means the firmware is missing or not found:

[    6.382883] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-compute-module.bin failed with error -2
[    6.382928] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin failed with error -2

 

What carrier board are you using? If not using the RPI carrier, you may need to adjust pins to get Wifi to work. Also, make sure your eeprom is up to date.

I'm running the script like this ./compile.sh build BOARD="rpi4b" BRANCH="current" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" BUILD_MINIMAL="yes" CLEAN_LEVEL="make-kernel,alldebs,images,cache EXPERT="yes" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" NEWPKG="yes" OFFLINE_WORK="no" RELEASE="jammy"

Why? Are you an expert?

NEWPKG

Never heard of that one before.

[Guilherme]

igor, is it possible to set the kernel version to 6.6.58 in the image generation line below? I know it's in KERNELBRANCH but I don't know how to set it to 6.6.58. Can you help?
./compile.sh build BOARD="rpi4b" BRANCH="current" KERNELBRANCH="current" BUILD_DESKTOP="no" BUILD_MINIMAL="yes" CLEAN_LEVEL="make-kernel,alldebs,images,cache" EXPERT="yes" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="no" NEWPKG="true" OFFLINE_WORK="no" RELEASE="jammy"

[Guilherme]

I managed to solve it by installing the package sudo apt install armbian-firmware. Strange that version prior to Armbian-unofficial_24.11.0-trunk_Rpi4b_jammy_current_6.6.58_minimal did not need to do this installation.
