NanoPC T4 bluetooth (mainline kernel)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I tried building the mainline kernel (ayufan) for NanoPC T4. My aim is to bring up bluetooth. No quite familiar with device tree, just googling and reading the kernel doc, and now I had some luck.

 

According to this post (https://discuss.96boards.org/t/updated-preliminary-support-for-bluetooth-in-debian-rock960/5588/7) in 96boards forum, in recent kernel, there is a serial bus support for bcm blutooth.

 

----

 

firmware. I used firmware from the repo mentioned in the post: https://github.com/openwetek/wlan-firmware-aml/blob/master/bcm_ampak/config/4356/bcm4356a2.hcd

 

according to hci_bcm.c code, this file should be renamed to BCM4356A2.hcd and placed at /lib/firmware/brcm directory.

 

----

 

kernel config

 

First, serial bus should be enabled in kernel config, located at Device Drivers > Character devices > Serial device bus > Serial device TTY port controller.

 

Second, in Networking support > Bluetooth subsystem support > Bluetooth device drivers, enabled Broadcom protocol support. This option won't appear if serial bus is not enabled, aka, a dependency. Meanwhile, The UART (H4) protocol support will be enabled automatically. 

 

-----

 

device tree file

 

in "arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4-common.dtsi",  there are two blocks named as "wireless-bluetooth", one containing full configuration of all gpios, clocks, and compatibles. The other contains only uart0_gpios pullup/pulldown configration (I guess). 

 

I removed the first block and left the second one intact. Don't know if the second block should be removed or updated.

 

then the uart0 block is modified to:

341 &uart0 {
342   pinctrl-names = "default";
343   pinctrl-0 = <&uart0_xfer &uart0_cts &uart0_rts>;
344   status = "okay";
345 
346   bluetooth {
347     compatible = "brcm,bcm43438-bt";
348     max-speed = <1500000>;
349     clocks = <&rk808 1>;
350     clock-names = "ext_clock";
351     shutdown-gpios = <&gpio0 9 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* GPIO0_B1, originally BT,reset_gpio */
352     device-wakeup-gpios = <&gpio2 26 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* GPIO2_D2 */
353     host-wakeup-gpios = <&gpio0 4 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* GPIO0_A4 */
354   };
355 };

 

Rebuild and install the kernel and dtb package. The bluetooth now works as expected.

Hopefully somebody will find this info helpful.

 

Also, not sure if the device tree modification is correct. Especially how to deal with the remaining "wireless-bluetooth" block. which looks like:

 

888   wireless-bluetooth {
889     uart0_gpios: uart0-gpios {
890       rockchip,pins = <2 19 RK_FUNC_GPIO &pcfg_pull_none>;
891     };
892   };

 

Shoudl I remove them out of the dtsi file? Or renaming/modifying the block to something correct? Any advice will be appreciated.

Ma,

   Thanks for the link! You posted a real easy userspace workaround!  I  just run rfkill unblock bluetooth,
 and hciattach /dev/ttyS0 bcm43xx in a startup script.   Everything works.  Bluetooth keyboard,mouse, audio

 

When my MediaCenter is finished I will pair my old NVIDIA Shield remote with it.  The older remotes were bluetooth

 

You post was a big help.

Just to update, when I upgraded to the latest stable release before I built mmp gstreamer modules, the user space rfkill / hci attach no longer works.  I think the firmware used for the board changed since the firmware is loaded but according to the logs some hci command time out. Not all fail.

Wrong firmware ?

Update - I updated the bootconfig.   I am now configured rk3399-nanopi4-rev01.dtb.  I was configured with rev 1. kernel is 4.4.164-rk3399

Bluetooth initilization is qwerky.   I can get the Bluetooth operational using these steps.

systemctl enable ap6212-bluetooth  

systemctl disable brcm40183-patch

created a a script: /usr/local/bin/startbluetooth

 

#!/bin/bash
rfkill unblock bluetooth
hciattach /dev/ttyS0 bcm43xx

 

The script run in XFCE as a "Application Start" script when my XFCE4 session starts.   

 

I did  several shutdowns and cold boots root@nanopct4:/etc/init.d# hcitool lescan

Right now I'm compiling a new version of MPV with vaapi support. Streaming Pandora as a test while compiling.  

The NanoPCT4 gets toasty.  I need to find a small fan that will fit in the NanoPC Metal case.

I tried to install mainline kernel yesterday and my nanopc-t4 stopped booting. It couldn't find the root-fs, which is on SSD. Could fix it with reverting back to stable. Edited to add: This was on a Ubuntu Bionic build.

Check the UUID of your SSD and make sure that this UUID is the one used in both /boot/armbranEnv.txt and /etc/fstab.

I wanted to update the tread.  Bluetoooth isn't initializing again.  It could be a an issue when uploading the firmware. Here's what happens when Bluetooth fails to initialize properly:

It was. I made a copy of the files and checked. The error message was:

ALERT! UUID=69... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Rebooting automatically due to panic= boot argument

If you got this message, it doesn't seems to match with /boot/armbianEnv.txt and /etc/fstab ...

Check it with the command "blkid" !

It does exist when booting the stable kernel. After upgrading to linux-image-dev-rk3399 it doesn't find the device and halts with the alert. I tried it twice with the same result and had to switch back to stable kernel each time.

Your "6984f986-8788-4dc7-9e57-e5a27d39a7d6" partition is /dev/nvme0n1p1, is the OS itself is present there or is it located in /dev/mmcblk1p1 which is "53822d9c-1cb2-4a65-96e1-c20e030c4615" ?

What the whole content of /etc/fstab ?

Yes, "6984f986-8788-4dc7-9e57-e5a27d39a7d6" is the root partition.

Really strange ...

As a workaround try to change that line /etc/fstab of the SSD :

UUID=6984f986-8788-4dc7-9e57-e5a27d39a7d6   /       ext4    defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro,x-gvfs-hide    0   1

with :

/dev/nvme0n1p1   /       ext4    defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro,x-gvfs-hide    0   1

I noticed my NVME is no longer detected at all on recent 4.19 dev kernels:

Since I just started playing around with Armbian on the NanoPC-T4 a few days ago I haven't gotten around to analyzing the failure further, e.g. if it is related to DTB or actual kernel changes, and would have opened a new topic then

 

Relevant section from yesterdays 4.19 dev build compared to stable 4.4.164:

I cannot test this right now, but my suspicion is, that it is caused by the modularization of the nvme driver. The modules are inside of the initrd, but might not be loaded properly.

 

$ grep -i nvme config-4.4.156-rk3399
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y
CONFIG_NVMEM=y

 

$ grep -i nvme config-4.19.0-rk3399
# NVME Support
CONFIG_NVME_CORE=m
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=m
CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH=y
CONFIG_NVME_FABRICS=m
CONFIG_NVME_FC=m
CONFIG_NVME_TARGET=m
CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_LOOP=m
CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_FC=m
# CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_FCLOOP is not set
CONFIG_RTC_NVMEM=y

 

Adding the modules to /etc/modules and updating the initrd might help. I will test this as soon as I can.

 

Sorry for hijacking this thread. I installed the mainline-kernel to test bluetooth. What's the appropriate place to issue a bug report about this?

It seems on mainline kernel 5.3 & 5.4 the serdev bcm4356 driver is broken, while it worked on kernel 5.2. Anyone on nanopc t4 or m4 found the same problem?

 

Anything sent to the module via __hci_cmd_sync resulted in timeout. There was a refactor of the underlying 8250_dw uart driver after kernel 5.2, but I can not tell anything break the communication from the git diff.

I can confirm this, im using the latest version of buster desktop (2019-12-27) with 5.4 kernel and no wifi/bluetooth.
