Orange Pi 5 Pro WiFi / Bluetooth

[thanhtantran]

Device: Orange Pi 5 Pro

Version: Ubuntu 24.04

Problem: First run with Ubuntu 24.04, i still have wifi on, and connect successfully but after run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

the wifi is lost, cannot find in usb or pci list, nmtui neither

Try to mark hold some packages on first run like this:

sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-6.1.0-1014-rockchip linux-headers-6.1.0-1014-rockchip

you can try to figure out what package are upgraded and hold them

[thanhtantran]

No, this is not the problem of kernel. I look around other issues and found this https://github.com/Joshua-Riek/ubuntu-rockchip/issues/674

This is exactly what i encoutered:

• cold boot (remove power plug) wifi + bluetooth work
• warm boot (entering sudo reboot) wifi + bluethoot down

[hqnicolas]

it was keeping power on USB.....

Include this line on DTS:

regulator-off-in-suspend;

vcc5v0_host: vcc5v0-host-regulator { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; enable-active-high; gpio = <&gpio0 RK_PA6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&vcc5v0_host_vbus_en>; regulator-name = "vcc5v0_host"; regulator-always-on; regulator-boot-on; };

vcc5v0_otg: vcc5v0-otg-regulator { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; enable-active-high; gpio = <&gpio0 RK_PA5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&vcc5v0_otg_en>; regulator-name = "vcc5v0_otg"; };

Change to this:

vcc5v0_host: vcc5v0-host-regulator { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; enable-active-high; gpio = <&gpio0 RK_PA6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&vcc5v0_host_vbus_en>; regulator-name = "vcc5v0_host"; regulator-off-in-suspend; };

vcc5v0_otg: vcc5v0-otg-regulator { compatible = "regulator-fixed"; enable-active-high; gpio = <&gpio0 RK_PA5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; pinctrl-names = "default"; pinctrl-0 = <&vcc5v0_otg_en>; regulator-name = "vcc5v0_otg"; regulator-off-in-suspend; };

I have wifi problem with usb wifi 6 dongle (mt7921) Just using gsconnect to control mouse from my phone, and moving the cursor for a few seconds it freeze (wifi disconnected) Is this related to this bug? Or d I need to open a new one?

How do I temporarily fix it?

I'm on orange pi 5 by the way, latest update installed fresh today.

[jinglong485]

I have the same problem. Also after reboot the Bluetooth mac address changes so previously connected keyboard/mouse cannot be recognized. I found the work around about bluetooth at #112 . but the wifi problem still exists.

[Joshua-Riek]

The Orange Pi 5 Pro uses BCMDHD SDIO as the wireless driver so i honestly don't expect WiFi to work at all. This is because BCMDHD PCIE is enabled and used by multiple other devices. The BCMDHD SDIO and PCIE drivers can not be enabled at the same time. Orange Pi themselves use a different kernel just for the Orange Pi 5 Pro for this very reason. But it's way to much work to manage two extra kernels just for the Orange Pi 5 Pro.

I think a fix would be to blacklist BCMDHD PCIE and compile BCMDHD SDIO as a DKMS module.

@Joshua-Riek :

I have an Orange PI 5 Pro, and after a week of tinkering, I managed to get the WIFI to work after a reboot. However, I lost analog audio. Disclaimer: I'm a .net dev and I'm absolutely a noob in terms of Linux.

What I did was to modify the device tree:

From:

&i2c3 {
    status = "okay";

    es8388: es8388@11 {
        status = "okay";
        #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
        compatible = "everest,es8388", "everest,es8323";
        reg = <0x11>;
        clocks = <&mclkout_i2s2>;
        clock-names = "mclk";
        assigned-clocks = <&mclkout_i2s2>;
        assigned-clock-rates = <12288000>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&i2s2m1_mclk>;
    };
};

to

&i2c3 {
    status = "okay";

    es8388: es8388@10 {
        status = "okay";
        #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
        compatible = "everest,es8388", "everest,es8323";
        reg = <0x10>;
        clocks = <&mclkout_i2s2>;
        clock-names = "mclk";
        assigned-clocks = <&mclkout_i2s2>;
        assigned-clock-rates = <12288000>;
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&i2s2m1_mclk>;
    };
};

I got that after comparing the orange pi device tree with the one on this distro.

Of course I get an error: ES8323 3-0010: i2c recv Failed , but at least wifi survives a reboot.

I also tried recompiling the kernel with

diff --git a/debian.rockchip/config/config.common.ubuntu b/debian.rockchip/config/config.common.ubuntu

...but then I lost wifi completely. Hopefully there's a way to get both, but this is my first time doing this stuff, so not sure how to keep troubleshooting this.

Thanks!

btw, thank you for your work!!

I started to make a dkms package to fix this issue, it's still a work in progress.

I'm starting to think there is a device tree issue with the configuration of SDIO.

Is it possible to use brcmfmac for the orange pi 5 pro wifi driver? Has anyone tried this?

[Joshua-Riek]

I doubt it, but I'd love to be proven wrong. This BCMDHD driver is terrible.

[jamstec0]

The root cause of this error appears to be an incomplete unbinding of the SDIO device. While a shutdown ensures all devices are unbound, a reboot doesn't always reset the previous MAC address and other settings, leading to this issue.

To fix this, run echo 'mmc2:0001:1' | sudo tee /sys/bus/sdio/drivers/brcmfmac/unbind before rebooting. Note that mmc2:0001:1 might differ based on your system's configuration.

Note: Tested with brcmfmac driver. Not sure if the bcmdhd driver works.

[Joshua-Riek]

This is great! Thanks for finding this, I'll test it out after work! But now the root cause has been found, and we can start looking into the driver in depth to implement a proper fix.

So I have an Orange Pi 5 Pro, and I installed the 24.04 server image. The Wifi worked out of the box for me once I installed network-manager. However, bluetooth is not showing up:

$ sudo service bluetooth start
$ sudo bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]#

I forgot to pre-install the rfkill package, so bluetooth will not work in the startup service. However I have released an update, so if you update your system and reboot it will be fixed.

[jeremysalwen]

Thank you that fixed it for me!

[jamstec0]

The Wi-Fi issue on the Orange Pi 5 Pro doesn’t seem to be a simple problem... The standard logs do not provide enough information, so I want to perform detailed debugging of brcmfmac, but I’m not very familiar with driver debugging and don’t know how to display the logs. I also can't find any documentation on brcmfmac. What settings should I configure?

[defencedog]

@jamstec0 same here for me using OrangePi 3b v2.1 (AP6256 module) ... wifi works great BT doesn't!
