Sunvell T95z plus - 2/16GB - S912 - 9377 WiFi issue

Mashhup · January 4, 2019

Hi.

Thanks so much for the effort that's been put in to this. It's really quite amazing what I can do with my little TV box!

I've had some issues getting armbian to work fully though, and I believe it's entirely down to the dtb.img not being quite right. I'm using:

gxm_q201_2g.dtb

On the xenial mate version found:

Which, while booting up fine, gives me no WiFi.

When I run:

dmesg | grep wifi

I see several lines like:

aml_wifi wifi.36: [wifi_dev_probe] no power_on_pin2

...

(it goes on like that but I can't get a copy and paste from my box, as I can't get it on a network)

Is there something I should do after booting up to get the WiFi chip working? Or do I need to find a more accurate dtb?

I'm really at a loss, and no WiFi is kind of a deal breaker, which would be an absolute shame.

Any ideas/advice/links/help/suggestions?

Thanks! 😊

After some more research I've found that if type:

sudo modprobe wlan

Then run:

sudo service network-manager restart

When I type:

iwconfig

I get results like in this: https://imgur.com/a/Gemz8u8

But unfortunately no networks show up in the network connection manager.

Also running:

sudo iwlist scan

Or...

sudo nmcli dev wifi

Or...

sudo iw dev wlan scan

ALL just run forever. So again. A bit stumped. How can I check if the drivers are installed properly for the chip?
