So im trying another mPCIE-E wireless board on the expressobin nightly.

 

The board does not seem to be initialized properly

  

00:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device abcd (rev 01)

00:00.0 0200: 168c:abcd (rev 01)

 

From what i understand 168c:abcd indicates the board was not successfully initialized.

The general consensus at work is - BIOSes are buggy and don't
necessarily reset the PCI bus correctly.

So either you can do your own PCI bus reset post-boot (and
re-enumerate all the PCI devices, including initialising their BARs)
or smack your vendor to fix their BIOSes. I can't really make any
further suggestions besides that.

 

Any idea what this could be?

Espressobin mPCI stack is not in a good shape and we have no resources to improve it. If this was not improved with the last u-boot update, then this won't change for a while. I also tested one of the most interesting cards (QCA9880/ath10) ... and it doesn't work.

 

Use cards which we recommend/test.

Development boards do not have BIOS. They have u-boot which take care of this job and that one was updated last week.

I never thought of upgrading uboot. Sadly didnt work but (as expected)

 

is there a way to "reset" the mPCIE Bus as many people suggest?

 

Also out of curiosity is the expressobin not a open source board or is it still contain allot of proprietary components making it hard to port?

Here is the interesting  part. I dont know if it matters but it seems that uboot detects the mpcie correctly?!?!

  

lspci shows

00:00.0 0200: 168c:abcd (rev 01)

 

pci init in uboot shows it correct

 

``` 

Marvell>> pci init
Scanning PCI devices on bus 0

_____________________________________________________________
00.00.00   0x168c     0x0030     Network controller      0x80

```

and

We provide two kernels for Espressobin. One is stock (the same as on Buildroot and other stock builds. Only with bugfixes and some 3rd party wireless drivers), while the other is a modern one. Both should work and they do work for me.

Which Wireless card do you use and is it actually working on a stock kernel? Can you extract kernel configuration of this image?

 

Edit: If 168c:0030 is AR9380 than it must work with Armbian. I have one around and it works. Probably only with most recent u-boot.

I made a few tests - all those cards are operational on Clearfog with the same (mainline) kernel drivers.

  

01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter

          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=14 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          
wlp2s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any  
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

 

There are different Espressobins out there so its possible that some card works, some doesn't. Cards can also be little different.

So the board i got apparently is original designed for Apple. 


Yes. The same as mine.  (last picture)

Its strange that it works on espressobin's buildroot but not espresso bin


I am monitoring the development on various platforms and all had/have troubles in PCI implementation. The firstwith mPCI was Hummingboard 1 (imx6). Solidrun needed months to a year to bring it up on their legacy 3.14.y back then, then they changed the kernel for more recent "upstream" Freescale 3.14.y and mPCI was never fully operational again. We kept original 3.14.y where mPCI works fine. Also on Hummingboard 2. Then, on the latest mainline kernel 4.15.y, it also works fine. Even ath10 cards work.

 

The situation with Clearfog was little better but only with second BSP package, when they moved to kernel 4.4.y ... the initial kernel was 3.10.y. And now with mainline where only a few things are missing.

 

Then we have first Allwinner H6 mPCI which is ... broken. I have no experiences with Bananapi R2 (MT7623) mPCI implementation.

Any idea why it would work on one but not the other? 


Random behavior can be a sign that implementation is broken. From my perspective and from what I know I can't say anything else than it is broken. If I would know why and where I would fix it. What can you do? Press on Globalscale/Marvell to put more efforts in fixing this.

Are there any 802.11ac cards that can be confirmed working?

I'm interested in building a wireless router with this board (Dual band, 3x3 or 4x4 is ideal), but based on what is mentioned above, it seems to be impossible now?

Nope. The only good and operational are ath10 based cards and they are not recognized on this board, but they work on those: 


But you can use USB3 based AC cards. They work fine on mainline kernel: http://amzn.to/2jvV8q1

There is indeed support for the 5 GHz band and the card is supposed to bc 802.11ac compliant.

I use this card in my notebook and it's a great performer when it comes to STA but I could not establish AP mode.  Neither they did. It looks like firmware restriction.

I saw someone mentioned here that ath10k works after patching the kernel, is that worth a try?

Have you tried it it with `driver=nl80211´ in `/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf´ ?

Well, I tried a QCA9994 card and it worked on Armbian without any kernel patch, if the correct firmware is loaded. (Debian firmware-atheros package is out-dated and does not support the card I use)
