Wifi and bluetooth not working on A95X F3 Air

[joao-pedro-barbosa]

Hi,

Wifi and bluetooth are not working since version 31 supports s905gen3. I have tried all dtb as meson-sm1-a95xf3-air-2g.dtb, meson-sm1-a95xf3-air-4g.dtb or meson-sm1-h96-max.dtb.

I tried also a 32DEV with today date 09-01-2021 with no luck.

Thanks.

Did it work in v30?

Hi Daniel Martin

I think 31 is the first offering support to s905gen3.

If I’m wrong, where can I get it?

Thanks,

Pedro,

please provide the output of

lsusb | grep Ethernet && lspci | grep Ethernet

[joao-pedro-barbosa]

Result is nothing first command without filter:

lsusb

Notice I edited the dtb's because I originally write wrong dtbs. Thanks

Ok the kernel isn't seeing the device hardware and on investigation the MediaTek chipset MT7668 is not supported in the Linux Kernel.

The chipset also connects to the SDIO bus on your device too.

So unless this gets upstreamed to the Kernel by MediaTek or someone else you're out of luck I'm afraid. I don't have the device to try and make it work either.

Can you confirm CoreElec works with wifi & Bluetooth on this device?

[joao-pedro-barbosa]

I can confirm now that is all working on Emuelec. I dont test Coreelec but I can do it.

What is the kernel version in Emuelec? do a uname -a unless it tells you easily in the GUI.

[dmanlfc]

Looking into it further this is not going to be achievable with my knowledge. Basically the source code for drivers available is for the 4.9 kernel. We're on a 5.8.x kernel release for the s905gen3 and so even if we got the code it would not compile against the kernel we use without major modification.

Until the driver goes upstream or we can find a more modern source, you'll have to add a USB dongle to the back of the device for wifi & bluetooth.

Okay @dmanlfc. Thanks for your analysis :)

Hi @joao-pedro-barbosa , how did you confirm this? I have a A95X F3 Air and tried some CoreElec images from Galisteo and in none of them the Bluetooth worked, only wifi. I guess it was made using Emuelec v4.5 but I'll check it out when I get home.
