MacBook Pro 15+: Wifi Support #112

Open aunali1 opened 5 years ago

aunali1 commented 5 years ago

Discussion and updates regarding Broadcom Wifi related support. Parent thread is #71.

Current Status:

NOTE: Firmware from macOS Catalina is currently known to fail to initialize with brcmfmac. Use firmware from a macOS Mojave or lower installation, otherwise you can find the necessary files in my up-to-date archive here: https://packages.aunali1.com/apple/wifi-fw/18G2022

Unfortunately, due to the nature of how tightly linked .clmb files are to each model variant, generic distribution of firmware is currently impractical.

thomasjenkins commented 4 years ago

On my 15,2 wifi spins forever looking for networks unless I boot with wifi off in network-manager, connect to my phone for internet using bluetooth, then enable wifi. Once I've connected once to the phone the list of wifi networks to connect to is populated normally and connecting is no problem.

joker5bb commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I have the MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

What are the exact macOS instructions to extract firmware and make it a bin file?

I run ioreg -l | grep RequestedFiles and i get no results but wifi works on macOS

about bcm4377 - looking "inside" apple driver.. is almost identical as bcm4357 if something has to be patched/modded should be around linux driver for 4357 i.e "brcmsmac"

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@yurnam I have a MacBookPro15,4 too, and I am trying to get the WiFi to work, did you manage to make it work?

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer Which kernel/distro are you testing?

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 I'm running your linux-mbp-arch kernel on Manjaro KDE 20.0

Edit: I ran sudo modprobe brcmfmac debug=xxx (whatever you told yurnam a while ago) and this is what came out after running sudo dmsg | grep -i brcmfmac

@MoonPadUSer Unfortunately not. never got past this in dmesg:

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer Can you pastebin/gist the full dmesg output?

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 https://pastebin.com/bqWZAk77

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer Unfortunately the kernel message ring buffer filled up and cut off the important bits. Please pastebin/gist one after a recent reboot.

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 https://pastebin.com/js3tefDX This one should have all the brcmf stuff in it

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@yurnam Yeah looks like the rambase is correct, but there is functionality missing in brcmfmac that is causing iee80211's etheraddr query request to fail. I'm assuming there's more to this chip's init process than what is done by brcmfmac.

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@npx001 Care to elaborate on what you have found "looking inside" the apple driver?

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@yurnam @MoonPadUSer Does an interface showup at all?

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 if I run 'ip link show' it only shows lo and an ethernet one

yurnam commented 4 years ago

as dmesg shows brcmf_detach there can't be an interface for the wifi adapter only lo and eth0 show up

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@yurnam have you tried the catalina files already?

stefanpartheym commented 4 years ago

Just as a side note: I hosted a repository at https://github.com/stefanpartheym/mbp15-wifi-driver which contains the wifi driver files from a MacBookPro15,2 (Mojave), maybe that helps.

yurnam commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer yes i tried both catalina and mojave files catalina files caused the OS to freeze when loading brcmfmac

so ... I'm gonna take a look at the brcmfmac driver rn, and look what causes these errors to appear:

the error is always the same, but I don't know what it means, so if anyone know what error -5 is, please tell me

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@yurnam don't you think it's kinda weird that ip link show shows an ethernet device, but the MacBook itself, doesn't have a physical ethernet port.

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer Thats an NCM interface exposed by T2 for all userspace communication between macOS and itself.

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 oh, ok, thanks :) btw, if you have access to a MacBookPro15,2 (or whatever the model is with the BCM43602) it could be great if you could send the output of sudo dmesg | grep "brcm" and ip link show

aunali1 commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer BCM43602 is a chipset used on pre-T2 MBPs. Any specific reason you are looking into it?

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 oh, I thought that would be the one from the other MacBookPro15,x but if it isn't I'd like to see those outputs from a mac with an BCM4364

yurnam commented 4 years ago

@MoonPadUSer i know, but the eth0 interface doesn't have to be a Physical Port, it is most likely some internal device that is seen as ethernet device by linux

MoonPadUSer commented 4 years ago

@yurnam yeah, aunali1 already told me 'bout that :)

@MoonPadUSer no suspend doesn't work either.

Currently on a Macbook Pro 15,3. Having some issues with the wifi not accepting firmware. Attempting this on gentoo. Currently got my patched kernel to boot with a couple other issues I'm figuring out. Anyone with the same model able to tell me which firmware they're using? I downloaded the kauai (X3) files from aunali1's repo

"RequestedFiles" = ({"Firmware"="C-4364s-B2/kauai.trx","TxCap"="C-4364s-B2/kauai-X3.txcb","Regulatory"="C-4364s-B2/kauai-X3.clmb","NVRAM"="C-4364s-B2/P-kauai-X3_M-HRPN_V-m__m-7.7.txt"})

I have MacBookPro15,4 (hw info in this repo) with 

    | |   | |   "RequestedFiles" = ({"Firmware"="C-4377__s-B3/formosa.trx","TxCap"="C-4377__s-B3/formosa-X3.txcb","Regulatory"="C-4377__s-B3/formosa-X3.clmb","NVRAM"="C-4377__s-B3/P-formosa-X3_M-SPPR_V-u__m-3.1.txt"})

If I use modprobe brcmfmac rambase_addr=0x170000 with the Catalina firmware I get nowhere.

The same command with the Mojave firmware, posted previously by @aunali1 gives 

[ 2553.430567] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac4377-pcie for chip BCM4377/4

[ 2556.021526] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_attach: dongle is not responding: err=-5

like @yurnam and @MoonPadUSer have already shown in https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/112#issuecomment-573615174 and https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/112#issuecomment-628034019

Any more ideas how to debug, or maybe somebody who's got newer firwmare which we can try?

Checking in here with a MacBook Pro Late 2015 - 13" Retina (MacBook 12.1)

I have combined a lot of solutions into a Buildroot / Skiff package here:

WiFi on 2.4Ghz networks works fine, with the firmware .txt file, 5.8Ghz networks also work fine.

However on one of my older MacBooks from the same model, the 5.8Ghz doesn't work at all even with this configuration, and 2.4ghz is sometimes glitchy / spotty. It has the same broadcom card. Could be something to do with the newer MacBook being exposed to an updated MacOS recently, which may have updated the firmware to the MacOS version?

@paralin This issue is for MacBookPro models with a 15 and onward model designation corresponding to a 2018 and onward mfg date.

paralin commented 4 years ago

@aunali1 the laptop I'm talking about uses BCM43602 I guess, so I suppose it's a different issue, some others in this thread had the same chipset as me with the ~2015 macbooks.

So yeah you're right that should be moved to a separate issue probably. And/or tracked in the bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193121

I was able to make it work for Macbook Pro 15,3 (2018). BCM4364 using the files from @aunali1 . Currently works with 2.4GHz and stable (can connect from far and close the AP).

Can you list what firmware files you used?

The Macbook Pro Model is A1990, so correction, its model 15,1 (2018) with the Core i9 and 16BG RAM. The files I used for this:

/apple/wifi-fw/18G2022/C-4364__s-B2/P-kauai_M-HRPN_V-m__m-7.7.txt
/apple/wifi-fw/18G2022/C-4364__s-B2/kauai-X0.trx
/apple/wifi-fw/18G2022/C-4364__s-B2/kauai-X0.clmb

My setup is:

$ uname -a 
Linux joax-ubuntu 5.7.0+ #5 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 15 08:59:18 PDT 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The kernel patches I applied were from here: https://github.com/aunali1/linux-mbp-arch

@yurnam did you find a solution for mac pro 15,4 wifi (BCM4377) on linux os? as im currently in the situation where you were i really hope you share the solution with us

yurnam commented 4 years ago

@mushoku-ningen unfortunately not. if i find something i will share it here for sure.

Hi,

I have a iMac19,2 with Ubuntu (and MacOS). Kernel Ubuntu is 5.8.1. Wifi card is BCM4364.

In MacOs, return of ioreg -l | grep RequestedFiles is : | | | | | "RequestedFiles" = ({"Firmware"="C-4364s-B2/nihau.trx","TxCap"="C-4364s-B2/nihau-X3.txcb","Regulatory"="C-4364s-B2/nihauX3.clmb","NVRAM"="C-4364s-B2/P-nihau-X3_M-HRPN_V-m__m-7.7.txt »})

So : "Firmware"="C-4364s-B2/nihau.trx" "TxCap"="C-4364s-B2/nihau-X3.txcb" "Regulatory"="C-4364s-B2/nihauX3.clmb" "NVRAM"="C-4364s-B2/P-nihau-X3_M-HRPN_V-m__m-7.7.txt"

I copied .trx, .clmb and .txt files to Linux. But what I need to do with .txcb ?

Now, wifi card is available but No wifi network is detected. I didn't patch anything. Should I patch something ? And how to do this please ? I understand patch but I don't understand what files to aplly patch and where are they !

Thank you !

@jbf1983 I think you need to rename the .trx .clmb and .txt files. I made a repository containing a script which does that for you: https://github.com/stefanpartheym/mbp15-wifi-driver This will work as long as you are using BCM4364.
