SV6051p wifi chip driver #1494

Closed evanferrao closed 1 year ago

evanferrao commented 1 year ago 
              At present, there is no driver for the SV6051p wifi chip in the mainline kernel, so wireless cannot be used.

I've been going through this topic for a while. I have 2 x96 mini, both with sv6051p wifi chip in them. After going through some posts at https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/25151-mecool-m8s-pro-w/?postID=165965#post165965 , I found out that there is a patch adding support for sv6051 drivers in 5.10 and 5.15. The patch can be found at https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/f3388b9aee0d1564a28fbc661c6e7b0415a6dfd0#diff-c5ac85cff49b3e2a32a31e7a2042a3ceca45859cb90e5e45ba3f19fc04681d56

would it be possible for wifi to work with this? I'm willing to test

When I compiled and tested locally, the patches could be added successfully and the compilation could be completed without any issues. I have placed these two beta patches in the kernel compilation repository and started the beta compilation process, which will take approximately one hour. You can keep track of the compilation details at any time and download the test version from the kernel_beta.

5.15: https://github.com/ophub/kernel/actions/runs/5341704730/jobs/9682776838 5.10: https://github.com/ophub/kernel/actions/runs/5341703744/jobs/9682774867

Sorry, but this patch doesn't seems to work properly.

Device: Oranth TX3 Mini (s905w), wifi chip sv6051p Kernel: Self compiled Linux 6.3.9, source is here Logs here: https://pastebin.com/G6cwzsP8

WLAN adapter didn't show up too. Patch for 6.3 is grabbed from https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/rk322x-6.3/wifi-4003-ssv-6051-driver.patch

Well, in that post I found LE's chewitt also encountered the same issue. From call trace, the patch will interfere with Amlogic platform's mmc driver so it can't work with Amlogic boxes until somebody come to fix it. That driver hanged for one year without fix. So we shouldn't expect it will be fixed in a short time. Maybe close this issue?
